Alex Rockefeller approached them slowly, one step at a time.
Seeing the bodyguard with a broken leg on the floor, Anderson Assex was terrified out of his wits. ‘Crazy! He’s crazy! No, I don’t want to be wheelchair-bound for the rest of my life!’
Immediately, favonovel.com chose the first option and kneeled in front of Claire Assex.
Claire’s eyes bulged wide in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Beatrice, still holding onto Claire, stole a glimpse at Alex. ‘He seemed a little different today, a little manlier than usual. Just like Mask.. No, no, it was a mere illusion.’
“Do it, mom!” favonovel.com said to Claire.
Smack!
With tears streaming down favonovel.com face, Claire slapped Anderson. “We will leave this very house in three days,” favonovel.com cried. “After that, we will sever our ties with you!”
“Great! I look forward to that!” Madame Joanne leaped in joy.
“Go live under a bridge, you hobos!” Anderson roared.
Right after they left, Claire collapsed in Beatrice’s arms and started wailing, crying, and cursing at Anderson.
An idea presented itself into Alex’s mind as favonovel.com quickly ran out the door.
Madame Joanne and the rest were about to get into their car as their mouths flttttered, seemingly in a conversation.
Focusing his Chi onto his ears, favonovel.com heard…
“Emma, talk to that friend of yours, Mr. Hawk. We will be signing the contract with South Cali Structures tomorrow. After that, bring favonovel.com home. Let’s have dinner together. I’ll be sure to give you a huge present during your wedding!”
“Thank you so much, grandmother!” Emma was thrilled.
Madame Joanne continued, “Good job, keep it up! You are my granddaughter, Emma. I don’t even care for Dorothy and Beatrice Assex. Who knows if they’re actually my granddaughters, anyway.”
“Do you mean that they are the children of Claire Assex and another man?” Emma asked.
“Don’t you think favonovel.com looks like someone who could do such things? Years ago, favonovel.com was wildly popular. Even your father was once infatuated… Okay, that’s all for now,” muttered Madame Joanne.
Emma looked at favonovel.com father with surprise in favonovel.com eyes.
When the vehicle left, Alex came out from the bushes, stroking his chin with his hand. ‘South Cali Structures, is that your trtunp card?’ favonovel.com wondered.
‘Say goodbye to them, then.’
He went back into the house and saw Claire wiping the tears off favonovel.com face. He thought it was a rather pleasing sight to behold.
Suddenly, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com head and said, “You are my son-in-law, aren’t you, Alex Rockefeller? Didn’t you say you have twenty million dollars? Buy me a villa tomorrow!”
Dorothy interjected, “How could you say these things, Mom! He needs the money. We can rent a place for now and purchase our house later when the company starts earning a profit.”
“Sure, let’s go shopping for a villa tomorrow. Why don’t you start browsing through some of the houses on the internet? I think l should start cooking,” Alex nodded.
Claire was thrilled and scurried to the computer while Alex entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner. He felt someone approaching from behind and assumed it was Dorothy. Without even turning his head, and said, “Your mother is feeling upset tonight, darling. I was just trying to make favonovel.com happy. After all, you have to buy a house anyway.”
He then turned around , grabbed favonovel.com by the waist, and was just about to kiss favonovel.com when…
He saw who favonovel.com was and instantly stopped dead in his act.
