His father’s bright smile was engraved into his brain, as if he was right there with him. Remembering his smile broke Alex’s heart.“Dad, you were the one who chose and bought this place. You lived here!“Your son will get it back for you,” Alex murmured to himself.He closed his eyes, engulfed by his thoughts.It was five in the evening by the time John rushed back to the manor from the hospital, feeling bloodthirsty. He blamed Alex and Brittany for the states his son and father were in. He wanted to let out his anger on and torture the two b*tches.But when he got to the entrance, he saw the guards.As Fred opened his mouth, John pushed him aside and asked coldly, “Is that pest Alex here?”Fred didn’t dare disobey him and said, “He’s here.”“Very good,” John said as he rushed into the manor. He had already thought of multiple ways to torture both the mother and son.However, there was no one around, not even Brock, when he walked into the manor. There was only Alex resting o

John snorted. “Don’t worry. Rockefeller Group and this manor are owned by our Rockefeller family. Since William is dead, there is no way Alex could take everything back. He can keep on dreaming. I will give him nothing, not even a single penny!”“But, he seems to have become more powerful. Did he actually train himself during the time he went missing? Look at the table… it is said that only fighters could do that,” replied Carol.As part of California’s high society, it was reasonable for Carol to know of the existence of such people—fighters.“So what if he is one? What decade is he living in? No matter how powerful he is at fighting, he’s still vulnerable and there’s no way he could dodge an actual bullet,” John snorted.He glared at Pepper Kimmich and thought, ‘Two months? Hmph, within these two months I’ll send both you and your cheap mom down to the depths of hell.’Instantly, he felt much better as his mind became clearer. However, he suddenly thought about Brock, who he had

He looked straight ahead, but his gaze fell under Waltz’s neck, and in that instant he felt as though he was greeted by an awe-inspiring view from a very high place.Even though his mind said no the entire time, his body was far more honest. Suddenly, his hands were placed on her waist.“Not that I refuse to teach you, it’s just that your basics are too horrible.” Alex was flustered with rapid breathing and could not think straight.“Oh, really? What should I do then? Senior, about the chakra pill you mentioned previously, what is it?” She rocked her body once again and spoke in a flirtatious voice.“Well, the chakra pill is…”Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cough coming from the stairs.It was Brittany, who had been standing by the staircase for some time, who looked at them with a surprised and awkward expression as she secretly thought, “Brat, she’s your junior in martial arts? Isn’t she just a bed-warming junior?” Alex hurriedly pushed Waltz away in shock and sa

Claire coldly snorted and threw a nasty glance at Alex. “So what? It was just a one-time favor. Furthermore, I suspect that Charles Carter of Waylon Realty signed the contract only because he was attracted to your beauty. Then, you wanted to give him the credit so that I’ll change my attitude toward him, am I right?”“Oh my god!”Dorothy was bereft of speech. Realizing that she could no longer communicate with Claire, she tugged at Alex’s hand and said, “Go to my room, now.”“Stop! What qualification does he even have to enter your room?” yelled Claire.“Because he is my legally-wedded husband.”“No, I won’t allow it. Only one person can ever step foot in your room, that is Felix Shepherd of Pegasus International. Now, I only recognize him as my son-in-law.”“Haha,” Alex laughed with an indifferent expression while looking at Claire calmly.He thought she would change her attitude a bit after all he had done for the Assex family. Yet, her arrogant countenance and those insults t

Smack! Smack!Alex did not go easy on Felix, and landed three heavy lashes on his back.Three lash wounds immediately surfaced on Felix’s back, and blood began seeping out from some of the wounds.Then, Alex threw the sprig away and said, “Get up, remember what you said today.”Words of gratitude came out of Felix’s mouth as he got up on his feet. He even took out a little gift box and handed it to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, thank you so much for the three lashes. I will always remember your teachings. Here’s a little gift for you as a token of appreciation! Mr. Rockefeller, sorry for the bother and I’ll be leaving! May you both live a long and happy life together.”After handing over the gift box to Alex, he turned around and left.Looking at Felix’s disappearing silhouette, Alex secretly thought, “He is a smart guy after all! Well, good for him, I will leave the Shepherds alone for now.”Felix was nowhere to be seen but Claire and Beatrice were still in a state of confusion. Even
