As soon as Madame Joanne heard his mockery, she wished that she could hurry forward and kill Alex
with her walking stick.
However, it was a matter of life and death for the Assex family. Thus, she immediately got her eldest
son, Benny to pay a Claire visit with her.
They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutes later.
As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as she complained, âGrandma, Dorothy
and her trashy husband are simply rubbing salt in the wound! They are jealous of our familyâs
prosperity and deliberately want to destroy it! That bastard did not only hit me but dad too! He is a
brute!â
As Emma was just done complaining, Alex landed another slap on her beautiful face before Madame
Joanne even managed to express any opinion.
âEmma Assex, a woman like you has no right to insult me, Alex Rockefeller,â Alex said indifferently
after slapping Emma, âMy mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do
so, but youâre not qualified at all.â
Emmaâs face was reddened as she was extremely pissed off.
Anderson shouted furiously, âHow dare you act violently here, brute?!â
Alex shrugged his shoulder. âIâll make sure you have no teeth to eat tomorrow if you ever insult me
again.â
Madame Joanne was extremely angry as she gasped heavily with her eyes widened.
She said as she tried to suppress her anger, âStop being arrogant, Alex.â
âDid I? I think both of them are even worse though!â
Madame Joanne interrogated as she frowned, âAnderson, Emma. Have you apologized and reinstated
Dorothy just as I told you?â
Emma said, âWe did. Daddy and I had apologized to them sincerely and almost kneeled before them,
but they refused to forgive us and let us off the hook.â
Clack!
After switching on her phone and clicked on a video clip, Dorothy threw it on the table. âIs this how you
apologize sincerely?â
The video showed everything happened since Anderson and Emma entered the house.
In fact, after hiring the new housemaid, Claire secretly installed CCTVs at home as she was concerned
that the housemaid would steal things. Thus, the scene was coincidentally recorded.
Sincerely?
No way. In contrast, they were being arrogant and even threatened them.
Slap!
Madame Joanne slapped on Andersonâs face. âBastard, didnât you hear what I said? Now, apologize to
Dorothy and Claire.â
As Madame Joanne was truly angry, both Anderson and Emma could only follow her instruction to
placate her.
They bowed their heads and apologized obediently.
However, everyone knew that deep in their hearts they were unwilling to submit.
Soon after, Madame Joanne tried to sweet-talk a little before switching the topic to the contract
between Waylon Realty, with the expectation that Dorothy must secure the deal.
Claire said, âMom, earlier you passed down the word that whoever manages to get the deal will be
given 10% of the company shares and the position of general manager? Is it still valid?â
A dash of extreme disgust flickered in Madame Joanneâs eyes.
However, she still nodded. âYes.â
Emma snorted and said, âItâs still early to be happy about it. Do you really think Charles will definitely
agree to sign the contract? Heâs not even Dorothyâs man, so whatâs the point to sign it if itâs not
profitable to him?â
Alex said. âDonât worry. The contract is still exactly the same as before.â
Dorothy said, âGrandma, I donât need the 10% company shares from Assex Constructions nor the
position of general manager. I just want my company in City South.â
Madame Joanne was delighted. âSure.â
Alex added, âWe need to put the agreement in black and white that Dorothy will own 100% of the
subsidiary company shares in City South, and Assex Constructions has no right to interfere with its
operation.â
