The door opened and Alex walked into the villa on his own.Unexpectedly, the living room was completely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his usual room. There was a bathroom attached.He flung the bathroom door open and froze.There was someone inside of the bathroom—Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad on her underwear. Their eyes met.Beatrice was surprised too.After freezing in place for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. “Rockefeller, you jerk! I’ll kill you!”Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. “Hey, I didn't mean to! I didn’t see anything.”Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that Claire had come home.Hearing Beatrice’s screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily, “Hey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Don’t you dare run

Dorothy didn’t know what to say. “Grandma, I…”The old lady continued. “And who said Anderson doesn’t have the right to give orders? What are these materials anyway? Aren’t they the new materials from Thousand Leaves? We had forfeited your company’s right to sell them, yet you’re still trying to. This is illegal, do you want to end up in jail?”Emma smiled smugly. “That’s right, Dorothy. I must say, you have quite the balls. You dare sell the new materials from Thousand Leaves without a permit. This is literally smuggling. I’ve contacted Mr. Roberts from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. He’ll be here at any moment to inspect your company.”“What?” Dorothy was scared and angry.They were family, yet Emma went overboard. She wanted to ruin her life!“Grandma, did you approve of this too?” Dorothy turned to the old lady.Joanne’s expression was cold. “Dorothy, Grandma had already given you a chance yesterday, but you didn’t listen to my advice. I’m truly disappointed. However, b

“That’s right. This document is real. Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally signed it and passed it to me,” Alex Rockefeller said.Joanne spat in Alex’s face.“Who do you think you are? You’re just a useless shut-in. Why would Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally sign and send a document to you? That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard,” Joanne said.“Alright. We’ll eventually find out if he’s telling the truth or not. The police will be involved when the time comes. For now, we must temporarily shut Assex City South Subsidiary Company down. My apologies, Ms. Assex,” Marshall Roberts said.However, Dorothy Assex’s new secretary came running in. “Ms. Assex, Mr. Trent from Thousand Leaves is here,” she said.Dorothy was stunned. Emma Assex, on the other hand, started laughing loudly.“Mr. Trent must have found out that you forged the authorization letter and came to demand an apology. Dorothy, are you still in denial?”Dorothy was actually feeling very nervous, but Alex h

Jack Trent was in his early thirties.He wasn’t considered old at all.When Emma Assex thought of this, she immediately felt jealous. She wished she could kick Dorothy out of the way and throw herself into Jack’s arms.But little did they know, Jack was only doing all of this to please Alex Rockefeller.Yesterday, Jack went to the hospital for a check-up and found out there indeed was something wrong with his kidney. Apart from traces of kidney stones being removed, the doctor discovered a slight infection in the area. That proved Jack’s kidney stone problem was quite serious. It had gotten to the point where hematuria was a concern. However, since his kidney stones had been thoroughly removed, the aftermaths were much easier to deal with.Jack no longer had reason to doubt Alex’s medical skills.“Mr. Rockefeller, can I have a moment with you?” Jack smiled as he asked Alex.Alex nodded.Alex and Jack walked slightly further away as members of the Assex family watched them with

Cheryl Coney exclaimed and seemed to be slightly more awake. “What do you mean sleep with me? Of course… Oh, I was talking about holding meetings in the hospital. There was an exceptional number of patients last night. I had to stay up all night. Who slept with you? Your wife has problems and won’t sleep with you, but she still gets defensive about other women being near you? I’m hanging up,” Cheryl said.Alex Rockefeller let out a long sigh.“Dorothy, did you hear that? She wasn’t referring to sex. She was talking about meetings in the hospital. You’ve wrongly incriminated me,” he said.However, Dorothy Assex pushed him away. “Do you think I would believe that? If you didn’t see her last night, why did Jack Trent come over? Did he receive a message in his sleep? Of course, she would help you cover things up since I’m around. Get lost. I don’t want to see you,” she said determinedly with a cold expression on her face.Seeing her like this, Alex knew she was just upset. There was no
