“No problem, just give me the time and address, I’ll be there.” Alex smiled.“I can pick you up.”“There’s no need for that, the journey is quite troublesome.”“Alright!” Cheryl said softly, before adding, “I’m only inviting you because my grandpa wants to see you, don’t you dare misunderstand!”Alex froze. “I don’t, I know you don’t have other intentions.”“I… Just come over quickly, I’ll hang up now!” Cheryl’s cheeks were now painted in a slight shade of pink, she seemed annoyed.‘What do you mean by other intentions?’After obtaining the address, Alex looked it up online. Apparently Cheryl lives in a residential area in City South, California.After informing Brittany about the invite, he went to absorb some Chi from his emeralds to energize himself. He then headed towards his destination.Cheryl was picking an outfit in front of her mirror. Clothes were all over the room, yet she still couldn’t find the right one.Suddenly, an old lady walked in with a sweet smile. “Cherr

Patrick approached Alex and dragged him closer. “Hey brat, I don’t care who you are. Cherry is definitely going to be my granddaughter-in-law. Tell me, how much money is enough to make you leave her?”‘Pretty intimidating and ruthless, huh?’Alex furrowed his eyebrows, he was about to snap.Grandma yelled. “Stop it this instance, Patrick! My granddaughter hasn’t married yet, but their wedding is near. We’ve already agreed on giving him her hand in marriage long ago. What? Do you really want to become a homewrecker?”Patrick was furious. “Bullsh*t! Cherry is my granddaughter-in-law, her father gave us her hand in marriage back then. Are you trying to go back on your word? Do you need me to bring your son over to make things clear? Besides, Coney, don’t you dare forget who saved you from drowning back then. Are you that ungrateful? And you call yourself a miracle doctor?”Patrick seemed to have stunned everyone with his words.Alex noticed that Cheryl’s eyes were filled with hatred

However, the defeated opponent was not Alex Rockefeller.Cheryl looked at Alex with emotions pouring out of her eyes.However, Alex’s attention was on Patrick instead. “What do you think?”Patrick chuckled. “I go with whatever Zachary says. It’s all on you, little genius doctor.”Only then did Alex nod.Zachary’s ailment was nothing but a piece of cake for him.....An hour later at a neighbourhood park.“Your marriage arrangement is now annulled. You are free now, so you do not have to look for a man to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore.” Alex smiled at Cheryl, who had her hand wrapped around his arm.What Alex meant was a not-so-subtle hint for Cheryl to leave him alone.Yet, Cheryl seemed oblivious. “I do not care for the marriage arrangement anyway, it can’t constrain me. Whatever that man said has got nothing to do with me.”“That man… Your father?”“You can say so.”Alex did not say anything else as he knew that it must be a trauma that she did not want to mention

“I’ll be back by afternoon, and I’ll bring a watermelon for you later. Be a good boy at home!”Only now did Alex know that Waltz had a legitimate profession. Apparently, she was the head businesswoman of all maritime businesses in California.As the clock struck nine, Alex went down to the basement and attempted his pill concoction.Why would he need a cauldron for pill concoction?This was because pill concoction was different from medicinal cooking, in which the herbs just had to be thrown into a cooking pot in order to be cooked. After all, it was just medicine, so its effects were incomparable with concocted pills. Since each portion of medicinal herb had different properties, the purpose of pill concoction was to eliminate all the useless portions of the herbs, leaving only the essential portions. Then, the essential portions would be supplemented with Chi, or even the essence of heaven and earth, to be condensed into one single pill.Therefore, regular cooking pots could not

“So close, yet so far. I am almost there, though.” She started jumping around like an energetic maniac, running toward Alex and kissed him suddenly.Brittany was initially in her room on the second floor but came out after hearing Waltz’s voices. She just saw the scene unfolding in front of her eyes as she looked down from the helical staircase.Gently shaking her head, she retreated into her room.…Alex headed to the auction of precious medicinal herbs by himself at half-past five. The auction was held in the form of a cocktail party on the highest floor of California’s Splendor Center.He entered the auction hall without any hiccups after mentioning Michelle’s name at the entrance.At this moment at the entrance of Splendor Center, a group of young men and women were chatting among themselves as they entered the building. Among them was a young lady in a white dress, she was Alex’s sister-in-law — Beatrice Assex.The other three were the ones that Alex saw back at the car dea
