Claire’s expression darkened. “He’s my son-in-law.”
“What?”
Eloise froze, staring at favonovel.com in disbelief. She had never met Alex before, but she’s listened to Claire complain about favonovel.com enough times to perceive favonovel.com as a complete loser.
‘How could that loser be the same person as this dashing young man?’
Moreover, favonovel.com had heard many rumours about Alex from others. This made favonovel.com more reluctant to believe this. She thought Claire had mistook Alex as someone else, so favonovel.com apologized profusely. “Sorry, sorry. My friend just thought you were someone else.”
She tried dragging Claire back into the room. However, Claire wouldn’t budge and pushed Eloise aside harshly.
Due to favonovel.com strength, Eloise lost favonovel.com balance and almost fell. If it weren’t for Val, favonovel.com would’ve definitely stumbled over.
Eloise was enraged by favonovel.com actions.
‘What is this damned woman doing? I’m just trying to help but favonovel.com pushed me! Does favonovel.com think favonovel.com could afford to provoke this man? Lord Lex had to bow down to him! It’s not like favonovel.com lost his power when Lord Lex died!’
‘He could have easily taken down both Assex Constructions and my husband’s health and nutrition center too!’
Claire said, “I’m not mistaken, I can recognize this bastard even if favonovel.com changed his appearance!”
Alex pressed his lips together, visibly annoyed. “Sorry, I’m not your son-in-law.”
With this, Eloise looked at Claire, thinking. ‘That’s what I thought.’
However, Alex continued. “I’ve gotten a divorce with your daughter. So I’m just your ex-son-in-law.”
“Huh?”
“No way?”
Many of them exclaimed loudly, especially Eloise. She sounded as if favonovel.com was shrieking like a ghost. Val covered favonovel.com mouth as favonovel.com stared at Claire with disbelief.
‘So the blind and heartless woman was her!’
‘She didn’t like how poor Mr. Rockefeller was and forced favonovel.com to get a divorce?’
‘This woman really isn’t what favonovel.com seems. How could favonovel.com have done something so stupid?’
“Yeah, don’t forget that, Aunt Claire. You were the one who forced Mr. Rockefeller to get a divorce with Dorothy. Now that that’s done, stop clinging to him!”
Unexpectedly, Claire was infuriated by favonovel.com words. She slapped Sharpay across the face and yelled. “Of course you wouldn’t want me to cut ties with him! So that you could use your skills in bed to try and seduce favonovel.com and take our money!”
Sharpay’s face swelled up after being slapped.
However, favonovel.com was younger than Claire and couldn’t slap favonovel.com back in front of everyone. All favonovel.com could do was seek help from Alex through a pitiful look on favonovel.com face.
Alex narrowed his eyes. He initially wanted to show favonovel.com some respect, but favonovel.com couldn’t hold in his rage anymore. “Ms. Bardot, if you’re here for a facial treatment, I’ll welcome you warmly. But if you’re here to cause a commotion, I’m sorry but I’ll have to ask security to throw you out.”
Claire’s eyes widened, filled with anger. “How dare you!”
Hailey couldn’t bear watching this and spoke up as well. “How can you still be so stubborn, woman? My brother has gotten a divorce with your daughter, he’s cut ties with your family! So what’s the point in clinging to favonovel.com now? Do you regret it? Are you trying to get them to remarry? I’ll just give it to you straight. There’s no way you’d get your way! Who would want a mother-in-law like you? You’re just pure bad luck!”
Claire fumed. “I’m talking to him, so keep your nose out of this! Alex, I’ll just ask you one thing. Is this salon yours?”
Alex replied, “So what if it is?”
Claire seemed excited. “That’s great! You’ve only gotten a divorce with my daughter a few days ago, so that means this salon is mutual property! It’s illegal that you didn’t mention this when you two got a divorce! Besides, you were the one who promised to leave the marriage without anything. So this salon is Dorothy’s, it has nothing to do with you now! You’re no longer the CEO of this salon anymore! Get lost!”
Smack!
Claire was immediately slapped harshly across the face.
