Betty Dawson immediately shouted, “Nonsense! This crappy beauty salon is to be blamed for my swellings!”Once again, Ted Summers slapped her across the face. “Shut your mouth! If Mr. Rockefeller said it is an allergic reaction, then an allergic reaction it is! If you talk any more nonsense, I will hit you until you lose your teeth!”Shaking his head, Alex said, “If your swellings were from the products used by the beauty salon, you wouldn’t be suffering this much since the inflammation would be localized. I think you’re allergic to seafood. Did you eat any of those before coming here? Lobsters, crabs, fish, shrimps… didn’t your doctor tell you that you are severely allergic to seafood?”In an attempt to refute Alex’s assessment, Betty vehemently denied that she had consumed any seafood before coming here.Alex poked his finger on her stomach.Instinctively, Betty opened her mouth wide and started throwing up.The vomit was extremely disgusting and reeked of seafood, with pieces o

“I consider myself a good masseuse, Mr. Rockefeller. Won’t you give me a chance to show my skills?”“I want to scrub him clean in the bath…”Immediately the ladies crowded around Alex Rockefeller.Some even started touching him.Alex was shocked. No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he could resist the incessant seduction from these ladies. Fortunately, Hailey Lawson promptly came to his rescue.“Okay, okay, hold yourselves, my girls. He has a wife already, sorry!”Hailey led Alex into her office and breathed a sigh of relief after shutting the door. “I owe you so much, Alex. Thank you for today! Here, this check is for you.”Alex eyed her office before replying, “No way. This is the Summers family’s compensation for the damage done to your beauty salon. Why should I take it instead? Moreover, I do not require money.”“Well, your mother needs it! Destroying the Rockefeller Group in three months is no easy feat, and she needs all the money she can get. Without you,

Overhearing the phone conversation, Alex Rockefeller’s expression darkened.After the previous encounter, the Assex family had stopped for a while but returned to wreak havoc, just like cockroaches that wouldn't stop appearing even as they were exterminated.Both husband and wife rushed home as quickly as they could.Upon arriving at the doors, they heard Claire Assex’s wailing.She sat on the floor with a swollen left face, messy hair, and a lost slipper.Beatrice Assex stood haughtily by the side, cleaver in her hand.Obviously, she had been beaten as well, with blood streaming down her nose.“If you come any closer, you are all going down with me!” she yelled.Dorothy and Alex entered the house at that very moment.“Are you okay, mom?”“How could you, Uncle!”Dorothy teared up seeing Claire’s swollen face, while Alex went over to Beatrice and removed the cleaver from her grasp. He gently pulled her behind. “Stand down and get your nosebleed stopped. I will do the fighti

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, he 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!” she said to Claire.Smack!With tears streaming down her face, Claire slapped Anderson. “We will leave this very house in three days,” she 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.A

“Okay, okay, you should go and get prepared for tomorrow. We'll be signing a contract with Roadways and Bridges Inc. after all,” said Alex. His eyes shone with a ruthless twinkle.‘Suffer the consequences of pissing me off, Madame Joanne.’Dinner that night had the Assex sisters in tears.Dorothy Assex said to her mother, Claire, “Mom, this is what we call real food! The ones you cooked were inedible at best.”Beatrice’s stomach was chock full of food as she looked silently at Alex.After swallowing down the last piece of roasted pork in gravy, Claire licked her lips and said, “I came from a wealthy family and never had to do any household chores. Your father used to say that I should have been a hand model. Consider yourselves lucky that I even cooked for you!”She then turned to Alex. “Jer… Alex, why don’t you wash the dishes? Also, you’re still unemployed, right? Then it’s set. You’ll be cooking for us from now on.”Claire returned to her true self after having a sumptuous me
