*****Meanwhile, without knowing that his future father-in-law, or rather, one of his two future fathers-in-law had already seen him, Alex and Dami could be seen waiting for the door of the elevator that had just arrived at their destination to open.“Welcome, Sir President.”It was a beautiful, elegant, and youthful voice that welcomed them, or rather, Alex alone just as the door opened.Already knowing to whom the voice belonged, Alex flashed Rebecca a graceful smile and returned her greeting.Just at that moment, Rebecca who had no idea that Alex had someone with him hurriedly greeted the still-thunderstruck Dami who instantly became embarrassed.‘Holy Goodness! This is an extraordinarily influential figure in the society whose fame and power alone surpasses those of everybody in this city!’Dami, whose heart had begun to flutter, thought subconsciously as she hurriedly returned Rebecca’s greeting.Although Dami shouldn’t have been surprised at all, having already met some people o
“You… you’re selecting our company for the project?”At this moment, within Rebecca’s office, Jewel’s father was seen seated across from Rebecca with a bewildered expression on his face.He couldn’t believe what he had just heard, and never in his wildest imagination had he expected that this would genuinely happen.He felt that this was one of the dreams he’d been having for months now.His heartbeat was so loud that it felt as though it would genuinely leap out of his chest.He felt excited and apprehensive at the same time that he had simply misheard, and was utterly afraid and nervous now that he was just dreaming like every other night.Observing the overly thrilled Middle-aged man, Rebecca, who has once again regained her elegance and authoritative appearance, smiled kindly at him, and then she nodded her head at his question.“Yes.”She replied, then after a second thought of whether it was necessary or not, she added. “Initially, it wouldn’t have been you.”“Huh?”The moment t
*****To most of the Marshman family, that day was a day of joy and celebration, making them all forget all the plots they had devised for Jewel and her parents. Although the allure of Jewel's multibillion-dollar accessories remained much more compelling to them, the fact that they could now flaunt their cooperation with the colossal Crest Conglomerate openly was still much more significant.As for the rest of the people, they were initially filled to the brim with astonishment, like the others, and then an immense anger that could devastate the nation overwhelmed them. However, what could they do? Nothing but sulking silently in their misery.……Back to Alex and Dami. Upon leaving the company that day, Dami directly drove them home. However, before they arrived, Dami received an exhilarating call from Jewel, who shared the terrific news with her. With that, Alex finally felt utterly relieved, and like so, the duo returned home.As usual, Dami prepared the dinner while Alex went t
Like the previous day, the third-generation troublemakers of Alex's school had organized individuals outside the school premises who would deal with Alex for them once he arrived, and they were numerous and much more formidable than those sent the previous day.Regrettably for them, since Alex wasn't alone today and didn't need to walk to school, they were meant to be disappointed.Alex didn't even notice them at all as he entered the school gate in Dami’s car, as he was still lost and absorbed in his thoughts, from what Dami had told him on the way. Truth be told, Alex had contemplated revealing the same thing to Jewel for some time now. However, he had always been paralyzed by the profound fear that Jewel might despise him or want nothing more to do with him again. Now, after hearing Dami say she wants to reveal the truth, Alex recognizes that he has been excessively selfish in the past.Although Dami was the one who suggested not telling Jewel the truth from the start, Alex would
*****“I’ve finally formulated the impeccable strategy.”Back in the cave at the Burial ground.The eerie-looking elderly old man could be seen gazing intently at a group of young men and women.Although these young men and women were unquestionably unusual in appearance, if examined closely, the contrast between them and the elderly inhabitants of this cave was like night and day.Besides their completely pale skin, evidence of not having seen the sun for years, and their utterly dark and malevolent-looking eyes, they appeared somewhat more akin to human beings.These young ones were the individuals prepared to journey to the human world, or rather, to go confront Alex in the human world.Upon hearing what the scary-looking Old man stated, as per their senses, they listened attentively, their backs drenched in perspiration and their skin covered in goosebumps as they sensed the darkness in the Old man’s voice.They dared not to become lax or divert their attention elsewhere.Observin
It has always been said since ancient times that paying a visit to the In-laws tends to induce anxiety, particularly for men when they're visiting their Father-in-law, who was a strict individual.However, fortunately, or unfortunately, this wasn't the case for Alex at all.He wasn’t nervous at all that his father-in-law who hadn’t shown him any emotions the two times they saw actually requested to see him, why? Because Alex has something much more pressing in his mind right now.‘Didn’t it seem quite easy to explain initially? Why does it suddenly become this difficult?’Alex felt incredibly frustrated at this moment, struggling to keep his composure.‘Could it be because it was going to be only I and her present at the time of the confession?’Alex pondered, biting his lip. He blamed himself for being too timid to speak when Dami was present, which would have helped ease his anxiety substantially.Sighing deeply for the hundredth time that night, Alex rested his head against the ta
*****That night, Alex was well fed by his In-laws that if not for his extremely strong ability to digest food now, he would have long fainted for having been overfed.As though he was her child instead of Jewel, Jewel’s mother continued to place all sorts of delicacies on Alex’s plate from the beginning till the end.Poor Alex.Well, it wasn’t that it was exactly poor him though because even he couldn’t deny that he really enjoyed all the meals prepared by his future mother-in-law and fiancee, according to what his future mother-in-law said.After they were done eating, the family of three invited Alex to the living room, and there, they discussed all sorts of nothing before it was finally time for Alex to return home.“Remember to call once you reach home.”This was his future mother-in-law’s last words before she returned inside after seeing Alex off to the door.As for the majestic middle-aged man, Jewel’s father, he hadn’t said more than ten words since the discussion he
****** That night, Alex was neither able to sleep nor cultivate.He just kept rolling and rolling on the bed with a busy mind as if there was something wrong with him. And before he knew it, it was already morning.Thankfully, he was already a cultivator, so he wasn’t affected at all by this lack of sleep and he didn’t even feel it in the leastAfter a long time had passed, he forced himself to stand up to go take his bath and prepare for school.“Good morning, master.”He heard Dami’s voice in the kitchen as he went there.“How was it last night? Were you able to confess the truth to Sister Jewel?”Hearing her, Alex took out a chair from the dining and sat on it, then with a sigh, he recounted what occurred last night to Dami, to her deep shock.Even after a while, Dami wasn’t able to react.“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I feel like she already knew something?”Alex sighed heavily when he heard this.Just as the two were about to return to their deep thought, the
