âAlex, do you think weâll acquire the subsidiary company shares in City South without a hitch?â
Dorothyâs heart was filled with daunting anticipation.
While patting on the briefcase, which he carried with him, Alex said, âRest assured, I promise.â
The contract that had been signed by Waylon Realty earlier was placed inside the briefcase.
Dorothy grinned from ear to ear as her beautiful eyes opened a sliver.
In that instant, Alex was a little stunned.
After all, it had been a very long time since Dorothy let out such a joyful laughter in front of him.
He suddenly drew closer. After reaching out to clasp her hand, he said, âDorothy, thank you for all your
support during this period of time. From now on, I wonât let you bear such a heavy burden by yourself.
Iâll help you to share the burden so that you donât have to suffer anymore.â
As Dorothy felt the sincerity in his grip, a gush of sorrow filled her and she wanted to cry.
âItâs fine, as long as you know that.â
After a pause, she said with a smile, âAfter acquiring the equity contract of the subsidiary company in
City South, Iâll treat you to a meal, with an add-on reward of a hundred thousand dollars.â
Speaking of a hundred thousand dollars, Alex recalled that the hospital had returned about ninety
thousand dollars to him when Brittany was discharged from the hospital. So, he said, âI donât need the
money. Last time, I didnât use the money that you gave for my momâs treatment at all. Furthermore, Iâm
not short of money.â
âThey are separate matters, so letâs not confuse them with each other. This is your reward for this
time.â
Alex did not utter another word but only laughed.
He still had about thirty million dollars in his bank account. However, Brittany needed to make a
comeback in their family business and they would definitely spend a large sum of money at the early
phase. Therefore, he did not tell Dorothy about it. As for the grievances in the Rockefeller family, He did
not plan to tell her either so that she could stop worrying unnecessarily.
Soon after, they entered Assex Constructions.
As they saw numerous descendants of the Assex family had congregated inside the chairpersonâs
office, with Madame Joanne sitting proudly on the black leather sofa, both of them could not help
getting a misleading impression that they had just entered a court trial.
It was suffocating by just being suppressed by the number of those people.
Alex calmly rested his hand at the back of Dorothyâs waist.
Benny took the lead and said, âDid you get the contract?â
Dorothy nodded as she said, âYes, we have it.â
Benny immediately said, âShow it to me.â
As Alex clapped on the briefcase, he said with a smile, âItâs here!â
âHurry and take it out,â Emma said as she glared at him.
âWhatâs the hurry?â Alex said as he dug his ear, âWhere is the equity transfer contract for the subsidiary
company in City South? We had come to an agreement yesterday that weâll hand over the contract and
youâll hand over yours at the same time. Fair and square.â
Benny chided, âAlex Rockefeller, youâre just an abandoned child of the Rockefellers and a kept man
who lives off Dorothy. Do you think itâs your turn to yell here? Get out of here.â
Alex said with his eyes squinted, âThe contract is with me, do you really want me to get out? Donât
blame me when the contract is gone later. Mr. Carter did say that this is the one and only contract. If
you lose it, youâll never get it again.â
âNonsense!â
Alex pursed his lips as he was too lazy to even speak to him.
Old Lady Assex said, âExchange the contracts now.â
Benny took out the prepared contract and placed it on the table.
Alex also took out his contract and put it on the table.
The exchange occurred.
Benny immediately took the contract to inspect the contract seal. After verifying that the seal was of
Waylon Realty, he said with a sigh, âItâs real.â
Finally, Madame Joanne felt relief and said, âKeep it properly.â
And immediately, Emma burst into laughter.
Dorothy said with a frown, âWhat are you laughing at?â
Emma said, âIâm just laughing someone avaricious who overrates her own abilities.â
