Nicholas clinged to the woman’s legs. “Charis, money isn’t everything! What’s important is the love we have! There’s no one else on this earth who loves you more than I do!”The woman replied, “Bullsh*t! I don’t care about your love, it’s worthless!”Just then, a BMW 520 stopped in front of them. A young man poked his head out of the car window.The woman smiled brightly. “Hey babe, you’re finally here! I’ll get in the car in a bit, hold on.”She then kicked Nicholas over and over again. “Let go of me! Just let go of me! My boyfriend is here to pick me up, can’t you see? Now, this is a man who’s in my league. He wears Armani and he drives a BMW too! Unlike you, he doesn’t drive a secondhand Volkswagen! I don’t need garbage like that!”The man in the BMW seemed to know Nicholas as well and proceeded to mock him. “Nicholas, Charis is mine now. If you don’t let go of her this instant, I’ll make your life a living hell. F*ck, you don’t deserve to have a girlfriend, you impoverished fo

Charis scoffed. “You’re joking, right? Him? Any random stranger on the streets would be a better option than he ever will be!” She then kicked the Volkswagen which was parked at the side. It was Nicholas’s car.“Look at this, who the f*ck still drives a car like this? Only poor f*cks like him would!”Alex nodded. “You’re right, Nicholas deserves a much better car than this, it’s just way out of his league. That’s why a brand new BMW M8 is on its way. Now that’s what Nicholas truly deserves.”“He deserves a BMW M8? What a joke!”Fifteen minutes later, Chloe drove the car over to Alex’s location.Charis’s eyes widened upon seeing the BMW M8.Alex handed Nicholas the keys and said, “This car is now yours.”Nicholas was close to descending into a mental breakdown at the time. However, he was shocked as he received the keys. “Alex, you’re joking right? For me? Why would someone like me deserve to own a luxurious car like this?”“You can as long as I say so. Now take it or I’ll sma

“Well, you are silly! Alright, you serve it. You have pretty rough skin, so you won’t get burnt.”“Yeah, yeah, I’m just an ox, I won’t be fazed by the hot temperature.”Alex picked up the plate and walked out of the kitchen. He could hear Maya’s light chuckles behind him. But, he didn’t hear her mumble to herself later on. “This is fine. I’m happy that I get to see you every day like this.”After dessert, Brittany, Maya, Chloe and Nicholas started discussing about the new company.Alex could tell that Maya didn’t just resign to accompany Brittany, she wanted to help her out in the new company as well. Yet again, there’s a possibility that Brittany was the one who invited Maya along.Alex wasn’t interested in the business field, hence he made up an excuse to do some research on the Yowells’ Slunce Jauda. It was still flawed after all.Half an hour of researching later, Alex clenched a piece of cloth into his hand and activated his Chi.As he released his grip, the cloth had turne

Alex signalled towards downstairs, and Waltz immediately caught on to his message.The Rockefellers were on edge after all. Who knows when they’re going to send over hitmen again? Alex needed to make sure that Brittany was absolutely safe before leaving. Comment by Melisa Chan: not sure if this should be past or present?Due to Claire’s incident, Alex had to rush out this morning as well, leaving Brittany alone at home. This had already made him quite uneasy. And with Anthony’s death, he couldn’t bring himself to turn a blind eye to it.“I’ll make another call.” Waltz smiled.This time, Waltz called Azure.“Alright, Azure would be here in a bit. He’s bringing a few of our men to protect this place too.”Alex furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t cause too much of a ruckus. My mom might not like that I’m in contact with people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.”Waltz turned around and glared at him. “What’s wrong with Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Are you looking down on us?”Alex deci

She was wearing an expensive Chanel outfit, paired with an LV purse as well. She looked just like any other rich lady. She was clinging to a man, though the man was no longer the one he saw the last time. Instead, this time he was a greasy old man in his 40s.However, this was quite normal for Chloe—she could move on from one man to another with great speed.Just then, Chloe noticed Alex as well.Startled, she immediately put on a smug face and glared at him angrily.She had been slapped multiple times back in L.G. Balfour and put the blame on Alex completely. She later heard that Alex was only able to buy jewellery due to Thousand Miles Conglomerate owing a favor to his father. He was still the loser that relied on the Assexes after all.Why would she be scared of him now, then?She immediately said out loud, “Alex, why are you here? You useless loser of a sissy! Are you trying to get yourself a cheap deal? Can you even afford them?”Alex was expressionless. “What concern is th
