Charles would definitely reject her if it was the time before he met Dorothy.
However, now that Alex and Dorothy decided not to divorce after reconciliation, so Charles could only
think of seeking Alexâs opinion.
When Alex heard that, he was a little shocked as he did not expect that Charles would do that for him.
However, he shook his head as soon as he heard the name âEmma Assexâ. âJust a while ago, my wife
has just got fired by Assex Constructions and the one who replaces her seems to be Emma Assex.â
âWhat?â
Charles was shocked. Never did he believe that Dorothy would be fired by Assex Constructions despite
she was a member of the Assex family.
Alex smiled awkwardly. âItâs my fault. Now Dorothy has to suffer for me because I offended Madame
Joanne a few days ago.â
At this moment, Alexâs phone rang and the name âBeatrice Assexâ appeared on the screen.
After pondering for a while, he decided to answer the call.
However, Claireâs voice was heard. âHey, Alex, is Dorothy with you?â
âAnything urgent? Otherwise, I have to hang up.â
âWait, wait! Let me tell you something urgent. Since Dorothy got fired, Madame Joanne has given her
word. Now that the agreement between Assex Constructions and Waylon Realty has expired, hence
whoever junior from the Assex family manages to seal the new deal with Waylon Realty will be the next
general manager of Assex Constructions and acquire 10% of the company shares. You must inform
Dorothy and urge her to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, our family will be finished. Youâre also
finished, and so does your mom. Do you get it?â
Her voice was very loud to the extent that Charles could hear it.
As a strange smile appeared on his face, he said, âThe quality of the construction materials from Assex
Constructions are relatively good. I actually have an ideaâ¦â
A moment later.
Emma heard Charlesâ voice. âOkay, come in. Iâm at No. 8 Villa.â
Emma was very excited as she heard that.
A good start was equivalent to halfway mark on the road of success.
Shermaine was also very excited as if the ten million dollars were already waving their hands at her.
She even thought about how she could spend those ten million dollars and had psychologically
prepared to seduce Charles⦠She even wondered if she really managed to hook up with Mr. Carter,
would it not be a decent luck?
It seemed that it was really a fortunate year for her. She was glad that she picked the right alliance,
otherwise, she would not be so lucky now if she sided with Dorothy.
Therefore, they entered No. 8 Villa.
Both Emma and Shermaineâs eyes almost popped out of their heads as they saw Dorothy and Alex
were having dinner with Charlesâ family.
âHow is this possible? This isnât real.â
Both of them desperately winked their eyes but they definitely did not see them wrongly. They were
indeed Dorothy and Alex. However, they did not know Brittany.
Dorothy was shocked as well, as she did not expect Emmaâs arrival.
Charles said, âEmma, is it? We are having family dinner. You only have five minutes. Tell me, what is it
about?â
Emma regained her composure after a while.
Perhaps she had limited capability, hence, she got nervous when encountering such an unexpected
situation. While stuttering, she said, âCar⦠Mr. Carter, yes. Iâm the general manager of Assex
Constructionsâ subsidiary company in City Southâ¦â
Charles interrupted. âStraight to the point, please.â
Emma said after swallowing some saliva, âIâdâ¦. Iâd like to invite Mr. Carter to renew the contract with
Assex Constructions. Iâll try my best to fulfill any terms and conditions as per your request.â
Shermaine knew it was going to be difficult when Emma said that.
âHaha!â Hailey let out a sardonic laugh. âAny terms and conditions? Does that include sleeping with
someone else?â
Emma quickly explained, âNo, no, I donât mean that. I mean, Iâll try my best to fulfill the commercial
terms and conditions.â
Charles asked with a smile as he looked at Dorothy, âWhat do you think, sis-in-law?â
As soon as she heard what Charles addressed Dorothy, Shermaineâs facial expression changed
instantly as if her heart was being stabbed. Just a while ago, she even provoked Dorothy that she was
talented enough to pick a beneficial alliance. However, did it not seem that she had picked the wrong
alliance now?
How could Dorothy become Charlesâ sister-in-law?
Dorothy answered with derision, âCharles, I think Iâm not going to give my opinion on this matter since
Iâm no longer an employee of Assex Constructions.â
