Alex smiled and said, âBe patient, Iâll definitely help you get 10% of the company shares and the
position of general manager.â
Dorothy said with her eyes sparkling, âI donât need those things. I only need to get back the subsidiary
company in City South.â
âSure!â
Seeing Alex being endowed with intellect and confidence in handling matters, the gloominess that had
lingered inside Dorothy for about half a year started to dissipate a little.
She concluded that it was because Brittany finally woke up from her coma.
Swiftly, they arrived at Assex Manor.
However, they seemed to have judged wrongly.
Anderson and Emma did not come to beg for a genuine apology. As Dorothy and Alex arrived at the
entrance, they could hear Andersonâs arrogant voice. âHey Claire, you should be aware that since
Henryâs death, you and your daughters have been able to live a comfortable life in such a villa with a
housekeeper, itâs all because of generosity by the Assexes.â
âBut, what has Dorothy done? She ruined the family business and do you think thatâs ethical?â
âYou now have only one choice: get your daughter to help Emma to get the contract signed. Otherwise,
all of you will be kicked out of the Assexes and this villa will be taken back! You all can stay under the
bridge!â
Claireâs face immediately turned pale and her legs were numb as she thought about the consequences.
At this moment, Alex and Dorothy entered the house.
âWow, Anderson, you sure really are majestic enough to show off your power at my house. Who do you
think you are?! Get out of my sight and leave as far as possible!â Alex said with an icy tone.
Furiously, Anderson cursed as he glared at Alex, âDo you think an abandoned child from the
Rockefellers and a useless person who lives off a woman like you would be even qualified to talk to
me? Kneel before me and apologize now for being rude to me! What now? Look at you, are you gonna
hit me? Come on!â
Alex said with a cold gaze, âAs you wish.â
Smack!
Alex slapped Anderson across his face.
Anderson slumped on the floor and half of his face was swollen.
âGosh! Dad!â
Emma was extremely shocked and glared at Alex with her eyes widened. âScoundrel! How dare you hit
my dad?â
Smack!
Alex did not say anything, but soon after, another slap landed on Emmaâs face.
âNot only I have the courage to slap your dad, but I can slap you as well! What now?â
âDo you think Iâm easy to be bullied after losing the favor of Lord Lex Gunther? In fact, all of you are
just trash in my eyes! Frankly, I donât mind ruining the Assexes and expelling you all out of California if
you continue being so unreasonable and disrespectful to my wife! Before that, I also donât mind making
the two of you vanish from this world.â
Claire was initially happy but she started to feel worried after a short while. What was so good about
her idiotic son-in-law slapping Anderson and Emma? He just made things worse for everyone!
Claire immediately stopped Alex. âHey! Who lets you hit them? Do you think youâre very capable by
slapping them? Youâre going to get our family killed. Get out now!â
Alex helplessly said, âCalm down, the Assexes are in deep sh*t now and no one can secure the deal
with Waylon Realty except Dorothy. Otherwise, why would these two people get Dorothy for help?â
Claire was stunned, âWhat? Only Dorothy can get it?â
âYes, Mr. Carter would only look at Dorothy. Therefore, if Iâm not wrong, Madame Joanne actually sent
them here for an apology. However, it turned out that they tried to force Dorothy to help them secure
the contract. Do they think that weâre fools?â
âAhhââ
Claire screamed with a shock, âIf Dorothy is the only one who can get it signed, then⦠we will get 10%
of the company share and the position of general manager? Oh gosh! Thatâs amazing!â
At this moment, Andersonâs phone rang.
It was from Madame Joanne, who called to check the progress.
Anderson said, âHi, Mom. Iâve apologized to Henryâs family, but Dorothy refuses to help us and her
trashy husband even boasted that he is going to get our family ruined and kicked out from California.â
Smack!
Once again, Alex slapped Anderson across his face. After snatching his phone, he said slowly, âYour
son is not here to apologize. Joanne, why donât you come over to help him with your walking stick!â
