Dorothy stared at her sister coldly.
She had witnessed everything back in the meeting room.
Beatrice had brought Felix to her company to propose to Dorothy in public. Not only did it hurt and
insult Alex, but it extremely humiliated Dorothy as well.
How would she appear in public now?
Dorothy looked up and saw Alex walking in. âI wonât be interfering with this. Sheâs all yours.â
Alexâs deadly cold gaze landed on Beatrice.
âSis, youâre my sister! How could you do this to me?â
Without hesitation, Alex slapped her hard across the face, causing one of her cheeks to swell up.
Dorothy froze. However, she immediately averted her gazeâshe decided to not look at Beatrice.
Beatrice looked like she was about to cry as her mouth fell open.
Merciless, Alex slapped her on the other cheek.
Beatriceâs eyes were filled with fear and her body started to tremble. This version of Alex was
unfamiliar to her; she was terrified of him. This was no longer the useless loser who slaved away in
their house.
âDonât you remember? I said that if you donât see me as your brother-in-law, I will not hesitate to slap
you!
âSince you have no moral conscience, Iâll just have to teach you some,â Alex said as he lifted his hand
again.
âAh!â Beatrice covered both cheeks with her hands and hid behind Dorothy. âSis, I admit it, I was
wrong! Please stop him, heâs really going to kill me!â
Maya, who had been following Alex since the beginning, was appalled. She felt as if Alex had changed
drastically. He was now a cold and wild man, staring everyone down.
âWhat happened to him?â
âItâs like he has just awoken from decadencyâheâs changed so much.â
The receptionist on the ground floor and the other employees covered their mouths in shock as well.
Even if they didnât watch the Shepherds groveling before Alex from afar, watching him slap the absolute
hell out of his wifeâs sister was still immensely shocking.
However, they all knew that she deserved it.
The male employees could empathize with Alexâs situation. They wouldnât be able to hold in their anger
if this happened to them as well.
However, Dorothy was soft-hearted. This was her sister after all. She signaled Alex to stop.
Alex glared at Beatrice and asked, âDoes it hurt?â
Beatriceâs eyes were filled with fury, yet she still nodded profusely. âYeah!â
âThen remember that pain!â
Alex could tell that Beatrice didnât want to accept defeat. Her eyes said it all. However, he didnât care if
she wanted revenge on him. If this happened again, he would just have to keep going at her until she
was willing to admit defeat.
âDorothy, I have some things to take care of later. You can keep yourself busy while Iâm away. Iâll be off
now.â Alex turned to Dorothy with a warm and loving expression. âHereâre the keys to the red M8, you
can take it.â
Dorothy took the keys in confusion. âWhat about you?â
Alex signalled to the other car outside. âSomeone gave this out for free anyway. So Iâll make good use
of it,â he said as he waved and left the building.
Dorothy watched him walk out of the building. Her mind was filled with unanswered questionsâshe
couldnât figure him out at all.
