The old lady huffed. “You idiot. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”Benny explained. “The CEO of Waylon Realty, Mr. Carter actually lent a hand to Alex just to help Dorothy get the branch from City South. This means that they are quite close. If it was Dorothy who signed it, she might’ve just used her body to persuade him. But if Alex did it, then it could have been for a different reason. It could be that William Rockefeller had worked with Charles Carter when he was still alive. If we use their relationship, the Assex family would be better able to work with Waylon Realty.”Meanwhile, Dorothy had just gotten into their car. “Grandma’s sudden change in attitude was most likely due to your relationship with Mr. Carter. They’ll want to work with Mr. Carter through you as a way to improve their partnership.Alex huffed. “She can dream on. Now that you have full control over the branch in City South, you’ll be able to expand this business to its full potential… I know it’s best to no

Shermaine sobbed uncontrollably. However, Dorothy didn’t even want to look at her. “Inform all the higher-ups that we’re going to have a meeting in the first meeting room.”The news caused an uproar within the company. Numerous employees cheered loudly as well. Everyone didn’t dare go against Emma back then because they didn’t want any trouble. However, despite their cowardice, they still sided with Dorothy in spirit.Alex, on the other hand, didn’t have anything to do at the time.He looked at Shermaine who was extremely upset and still sobbing uncontrollably. Alex shook his head lightly and walked off.Just then, a luxurious car arrived in front of the company. A man and a woman got out of the car.The man was in a smart suit looking dashing, and the woman was Beatrice Assex.Why were they here?To propose.The security guards at the entrance of the building received the news of Dorothy regaining her position in the company. Hence, as Dorothy’s sister, Beatrice could enter th

Beatrice was overwhelmed. “Thanks Felix!”Felix was staring at the tall building, smiling proudly.However, little did he know that his father was already rushing towards them, despite having a cast on one of his legs. In the driver’s seat was his bodyguard, Jay Sanders.Jay was around his thirties and is quite skilled in fighting as he used to be the first runner-up in the national kickboxing competition. He was extremely confused as to why Edgar felt the need to rush to apologize to someone even with his leg broken. He asked, “Mr. Shepherd, you’re badly injured. Even if you did want to apologize, couldn’t you have waited until your wound healed? Your health is important.”Edgar was panicking. “What would you know? That bastard Felix is trying to dig our graves! He’s proposing to the wife of Lord Rockefeller. Now that Lord Lex Gunther wants me there, how could I not rush?”Upon hearing this, Jay fell speechless and sped up the car.At the same time, Alex and Maya had reached the

“I remember now. This middle-aged guy is the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. The one proposing is Felix Shepherd who’s been harassing Lady Dorothy for quite a while. Well, isn’t this great? Felix’s father is groveling before Alex.”“How could Alex have the CEO of Pegasus International kneel for him?”This was a mystery everyone was itching to unravel.Edgar immediately ordered Jay to hand him the check they had prepared earlier. Edgar handed it to Alex with the utmost respect and said, “Master Alex, this is twenty million dollars. Please accept it! It’s just a little gift. I won’t get up until you accept this!”Maya was shocked once again, watching Alex puzzledly.Alex stared at the check emotionlessly.Suddenly, Alex’s phone started ringing. It was a call from Lex Gunther.Alex took a glance in Edgar’s direction and picked up the phone calmly. “Hey, Lord Lex!”Upon hearing the name, cold sweat trickled down Edgar’s forehead. He raised the check higher, his face f

It was 1:30 P.M. by the time Alex arrived at Hell’s Angels owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate.A few underlings were waiting at the door. As soon as they noticed Alex, they bowed down respectfully. “Welcome, Master Alex!”Alex was starting to get used to this title and nodded. “Where’s Lord Lex?”“Lord Lex is inside. After you, sir.”Lex looked much better compared to when a demon was draining his Chi and blood. His cheeks were slightly flushed and he seemed to be quite energized as well.Alex noticed a strong aroma of traditional medicine and could miraculously tell which herbs and in what ratios were used just from scent… This was another ability that came with the Ultimate Book of Medicine.The medicine included ginseng, wild celery, chinese knotweed, saussurea, and many other expensive herbs. It seemed that Lex was taking this medicine to help restore blood flow.However, the ratios seemed a bit off—it was too concentrated. That was why Lex’s face was fairly flushed.Upon
