Chapter 161
Alex stole a glimpse at Beatrice for a second, then he slowly picked up a piece of Australian lobster meat and put it into his mouth. He continued eating his lobster with a content expression on his face, as if she did not exist.Beatrice was vexed as she thought, ‘What did he mean? Am I a non-existent dead person?’Beatrice was red-faced, with her eyes widened. “Rockefeller, you trash! Are you deaf? I am talking to you! Why are you here? How did you get in?”In her eyes, Alex was still a good-for-nothing trash who could do nothing else but lived off her sister. She just got angry every time she saw him, especially her temper got worse after he dared to hit her recently.Deigning to even look at her, Alex said indifferently, “What does it have to do with you? Stop bothering me.”What?Beatrice was infuriated and quite frankly, appalled at his attitude as she thought, ‘This trash just rides roughshod over others at home, by taking advantage of my sister’s help. Now that we are out

Beatrice decided that she should stay away from the trouble.Daniel arrived not long after.“Wilson, where is the uninvited guest you mentioned?”“Right there, it’s him.” Wilson pointed at Alex.Daniel looked toward the direction Wilson was pointing. His eyes turned cold as he saw Alex, who was wearing cheap casual clothes, devouring a large king crab.“Sir, I am the venue manager for tonight’s auction, Daniel Jordan. Please show your invitation.”Alex spat out the crab meat from his mouth. After pulling out a wet wipe from the side, he said as he slowly wiped his mouth, “The king crab was cooked for too long and lost its texture, it’s not tasty. Also, there are too few Australian lobsters here. Please get another plate of Australian lobsters over. Don’t forget to put on some ginger and vinegar.”Beatrice, who was five meters away from the scene, could not believe what she just saw as she thought, ‘Does this fella not know that he’s in a dire situation? What does he think this p

The crowd’s gaze followed the direction of the voice. It came from a youthful girl with huge busts, who dressed in a purple school dress, approaching them quickly from the entrance.The lady was Michelle Yowell.Some, who did not know who she was, laughed from the bottom of their hearts as they thought it was whimsical that a schoolgirl came to back Alex up.Meanwhile, some chatty ones could not help but speak, “Where did this kid come from? She must be a socially awkward bookworm, for coming here to display her superiority.”“Everyone present here has a rich background. This girl must have come to put up an ostentatious act by showing off her strength.”However, the person who spoke had his mouth covered by his companion as he whispered to warn him, “Are you nuts? She is that little devil from the Yowell family. Your family is finished if she sets her sights on you!”What?The man shivered and broke out in cold sweat. Earlier, he just said that the girl tried to show off her st

“But, he…”Before Daniel could utter another word, Michelle, who was fiery-tempered, kicked him again and said, “Get lost, you are fired!”“Argh!”Daniel was petrified and his face turned as white as a sheet.It took him years and consistent effort to get to the manager position of Splendor Center, but all it took was a minor misunderstanding to unravel all his hard work.At this moment, he glared at Wilson with a strong urge to strangle his nephew.Wilson was shocked. Mona, Sam and the rest of the crowd were astonished as well.Beatrice could not believe it herself. How did that trash get involved with Michelle and even became her VIP? It was impossible!‘Could it be that this trash cheated on Sis, and courted Michelle?’That could be the only plausible explanation.Daniel was quickly escorted out by the security guards under Michelle’s orders.She then glanced at Wilson and gave him a hard smack across the face. “Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller.”Fright

“Damn, what’s the situation now? Did she bring me here so that she could throw herself at me?” As Alex put all his attention to the Australian lobsters and did not notice Michelle’s face in agony, he was shocked to find her soft and warm body in his arms at the moment.More importantly, what should he do with a lady who came throwing herself at him?‘You are a sneaky fellow, Keith Yowell! Setting me up like this!’Alex gritted his teeth, and thought maybe he should…At this moment, Michelle groaned in pain again. While holding her chest, she spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly.What?Alex was shocked, as the throw up was almost spat on his face!“Hey, Michelle! Michelle!”Only then did Alex realize he was wrong, Michelle did not come onto him. Instead, she collapsed into his arms because of the sudden onset of her injuries, she could not stand firmly.“Damn, you should have told me earlier! You made me worry for nothing!”Alex muttered under his breath but kept his hands

At this moment, Michelle’s voice interrupted Alex’s concentration. “Alex, do you want the tuber fleeceflower?”That was because the tuber fleeceflower was the auction item that was currently displayed on the screen in the VIP room.Alex glanced at the screen and casually hummed in agreement.At this moment, the current price had reached seven million dollars, coincidentally it was bidded by Pepper.She seemed convinced in obtaining it.However, Michelle immediately put forward a price of ten million dollars.The auctioneer called, “VIP room No. 1 has bidded ten million dollars. Is there any bidder with a call higher than ten million dollars?”Most of the attendees knew that the little devil from the Yowell family and the Australian lobster guy were the occupants of VIP Room No. 1. Some people who wanted to contest the bid decided not to do it as they did not want to provoke the Yowell family. Pepper frowned and shouted again, “Eleven million dollars!”“Fifteen million dollars

“They are leaving early!”Alex’s eyes flashed as stood up and wanted to go after them instinctively.However, he was pulled back by Michelle. “Where are you going? The auction items will be delivered soon, I want you to check them out with me.”“Can’t you do it yourself?”“I am not a connoisseur of medicinal herbs. Plus, those old guys who put up the items for auction this time are sly as a fox. Who knows if they decide to cheat us with a fake imitation. These herbs are needed to save my grandfather, so I have to be extra careful.”Alex thought for a while and then nodded .With a Japanese fighter accompanying Pepper, he was unsure if he could capture her easily. Plus, Waltz already had surveillance set up on Pepper, he could always do it in the future.As it turned out, Michelle worried too much. After all, that was an extravagant hotel owned by the Yowells. Who would dare to cheat Michelle, who bidded those medicinal herbs at high price?Half an hour later, the two of them l

“You!” Michelle was so angry she could not say a thing.However, at the moment, the rear of the car was hit.“What happened? Did you hit someone? Jerk, I told you to focus on your driving! Oh great!” Michelle called out. Before she could make sense of what happened, another large car, driven against the traffic, headed for their car at full speed.The headlamps were so bright that one could hardly open his eyes.“Ah!” Michelle instinctively screamed.If being hit head-on with the car, even an M8 could not withstand the impact force and it might be squashed like a meatloaf.At this moment, Alex slammed his foot on the throttle and managed to dodge the oncoming car with a sharp left swerve. The large car scratched the rear of the M8 before crashing into the black Honda, which followed right behind.Bang!The situation was alarming.Without hesitation, Alex once again stepped on the throttle and sped away.Returning to her senses, Michelle said, “It was an accident, your car has

What would one feel when a car crashed into a river from a large bridge at a height of thirty meters?Anyway, it was a magnificent sight.A loud noise sounded with a boom, and the splashed water went up to a height of ten meters. It was no different from crashing into a concrete surface.The airbags were instantly deployed. Michelle fainted in a state of extreme fear.On the large bridge, a few passing cars stopped to check out what happened with a few people contacting the police as well. A woman, who wore a mask and a cap, came off from one of the dump trucks.She was Pepper Kimmich.Walking toward the edge of the bridge, she took a few glances down into the waters below before hurriedly speaking into her dedicated headset to give her orders, “Stand by the river in case they try to escape. Divers, prepare to get the items. The rest on the ground, retreat and watch for cover. The authorities will be here soon.”After firing off a few orders in quick succession, she left in

As the phone was hung up, Baldy yelled, “You are going to accompany the old man? Who does he think he is, why don't we just kill him?”“Not yet, he is still useful to us,” said Pepper.…Splash!On the north side of the East River, Alex crawled out of the water, with Michelle in his arms, onto the sandy banks.He immediately did cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Michelle, followed by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and stimulation of the electric Chi needle. In less than a half-minute, she coughed up the river water and woke up.“I am still alive?”“Just barely.” Alex struggled to sit down on the ground.What happened earlier was really treacherous.The deployed airbags were a hindrance to his escape. Moreover, after the impact of the collision earlier, the front car was deformed and Michelle’s legs were wedged in the car.After exerting tremendous effort, he managed to free her from the car, only to be swept away by the strong currents.Fortunately, they were both alive.Miche
