“What? Did Lord Lex actually address him as his Master?”

“Isn't Alex an outcast by the Rockefeller family? How can he be associated with Lord Lex who is worth a trillion dollars?”

“Is Alex the real owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? If that is true, he might be the richest man in California or the richest man in America.”

“Oh my God, that’s a piece of big news! This is so entertaining!”

Everyone was astonished. They whispered to each other while looking on stage.

The whole Assex family was dumbfounded.

Madame Joanne’s body was trembling.

Madame Claire’s eyes were popping out of her head with astonishment.

Dorothy covered her mouth. She was perplexed.

Alex looked at Lord Lex apathetically and asked, “Lord Lex, why are you here?”

Lord Lex replied, “Master Alex, I heard about the Assex family’s annual banquet. I came to congratulate and at the same time, hand over the billion-dollar contract. But I didn’t expect to see this.”

Alex glanced over at Dorothy and smiled bit

    Gaston immediately knelt before Lady Dorothy, "Mrs. Rockefeller, I'm sorry, I came to beg you for forgiveness. I was blinded by my greed and took fifteen million dollars from Spark to do his bidding; to deliberately cause a ruckus and threaten you, all for him to appear as if he’s a hero. He wanted to steal you away from Master Alex. I was wrong, please forgive me.” Dorothy’s eyes were filled to the brim with tears and she couldn’t hold them back.Snap!Sir John forcefully grabbed the necklace on Madame Claire and threw it to the ground, breaking it and said, "This is a forgery of our Love in a Fallen City necklace. Not only is this illegal, it is also an insult to our company!”Everyone was shocked by the revelation. Everything Spark had said was a lie. All of Alex’s ridiculous claims were all true, but everyone had doubted him.At that very moment, Alex felt frustrated. His mind was filled with the scene of Dorothy nodding in agreement to Spark’s proposal. He shed a tear before

    Alex was frozen. She was stunning and her beauty did not pale in comparison to Dorothy’s. But Dr. Cheryl's figure was more voluptuous. Alex felt like he was dreaming. He thought to himself, ‘Does she know that the necklace is actually genuine and is worth thirty million dollars? Maybe she’s keeping quiet about it but is now aggressively pursuing me!’As Alex kept thinking, he wondered if Dr. Cheryl was lonely for the night. Should he agree to her request? As he recalled what had happened earlier, his heart was in anguish and he just couldn’t get over it. He decided to agree to Dr. Cheryl’s request.Dr. Cheryl said, “Well, I have a school reunion dinner tonight and there’s this guy who has been pursuing me for some time. I find him annoying. I would like you to pretend to be my boyfriend and make him stop. Would you be willing to help me?”Dr. Cheryl was aware that Alex was married and wouldn’t misunderstand her request. She wouldn’t have asked another person.Alex was a little star

    At that instant, Alex felt happiness come knocking.Deep down in his heart, he thought when God closed one door, He opened another. Dr. Cheryl had wanted to leave, but she couldn't move an inch. She felt embarrassed and blushed. When they arrived on the first floor, they walked out of the elevator. Dr. Cheryl glared at him and whispered, "Don’t you dare to mess with me again!"Alex was aggrieved and said, "Cheryl, the fault is not mine.”At half-past five, they arrived at Urasawa Restaurant. There were not many customers in the restaurant. But the cars that were parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end luxury cars, and cars that’s worth tens of millions."Urasawa Restaurant is the second most expensive restaurant to dine in in California.""Seems like you have wealthy classmates to have a reunion gathering here!" Alex said with a smile.Dr. Cheryl pouted. "The one who invited us here is the guy I dislike the most, and you’re going to deal with him tonight." “Okay

    Cheryl with a pair of beautiful eyes rested her head on Alex’s shoulder and smiled. "Well, Alex, my boyfriend. What do you think? Are we meant for each other?"Dr. Cheryl was so beautiful. Many men would dream of having a wife as beautiful as her. Every single move she made captured the hearts of men in the room. Benjamin looked at Alex with so much hatred as if he could kill Alex with his eyes.Everyone else in the room was confused and looked at Benjamin.Then, a man jumped out and said, "Are you kidding, Cheryl? A blind man could see that Benjamin has strong feelings for you! How could you choose a ‘nobody’ over Benjamin!"Some in the room nodded. "Yeah, he’s right! Benjamin is a young director of Golden Light Group. He’s worth several billion dollars. Whoever marries him can live in peace for the rest of their lives. Who is this man next to you? He is so poorly dressed as if he works at a construction site. How is he worthy of a goddess like you!" "I’m way better than you

    As Benjamin saw Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their dinner, he looked at Alex with fiery eyes. The main reason Benjamin had organized this reunion gathering was to pursue Cheryl. He couldn’t bear to watch Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their sweet moments over dinner.Bootlickers of Benjamin noticed his anger. Then, they turned and looked at Dr. Cheryl and Alex.Britney said, "Hey, your name is Alex, right? Have you never tasted such delicious food before? Do you usually eat lunch at the construction site? What is your occupation?"After Alex finished swallowing a piece of meat, he replied, "I don’t work at the construction site. I’m currently unemployed."Everyone laughed.Benjamin looked at Dr. Cheryl in deep thought. Since Benjamin had pursued Dr. Cheryl for years, he knew that Dr. Cheryl was a kind-hearted person. She had great insight into choosing the best partner for herself. Dr. Cheryl wouldn’t choose a person who was at the bottom of the social hierarchy like Alex as her p

    "Britney, what happened?"Benjamin frowned while he stood up and asked.Britney tried to cover her torn clothes that exposed her skin. She pointed at the middle-aged man who came in and shouted, "That bastard, molested me."The man yelled angrily, "B*tch, who molested you? Hurry up, take out my...”Before he could finish his words, a bootlicker of Benjamin, Dylan Minette, jumped and kicked the middle-aged man in the chest. The man fell to the ground."Goddammit! Who released this maniac? How dare you molest Britney! Why don’t you molest your own sister!"Other men also stepped forward. They punched and kicked the man.Then they kicked the man out of the dining room.Dylan laughed and said, "You son of a b*tch! Let me teach you a lesson! Don’t you dare to do it again!""Way to go, Dylan!" the crowd cheered.Alex shook his head. Others might not notice, but he noticed that the middle-aged man wasn’t any ordinary man. He wore a custom hand-made shirt from Italy with a small dark

    Benjamin’s heart trembled when he heard Manager Ramsay’s warning. He didn’t dare to continue speaking a word after that. Everyone else was afraid to speak after they saw Benjamin kept quiet. Especially those who had beaten up the middle-aged man just now, they were shivering."This bastard was the one that hit me the hardest."The man said while pointing at Dylan.Another few security guards immediately arrested Dylan with his hands cuffed behind."Where is my diamond ring? Give it back to me!" The man stared at Britney coldly."I... I didn't steal it." Britney said in fear.Manager Ramsay replied, "How about you admit it and give back the diamond ring. You can’t deny what you’ve done. There are surveillance cameras in our restaurant which have recorded everything."Britney shook her head in denial.The furious middle-aged man tore Britney's clothes and roughly searched her body.Britney yelled and burst into tears, seeking help from Benjamin desperately.But Benjamin stood

    “Who are you? How are you qualified to ask me to do a favor for you?”Edgar looked at Alex with a disgruntled look. He flashed an angry smile and said, “Is she yours? Very well, I’ll teach her a lesson in front of you. Are you going to just stand there and watch? Who is your patron? I’m really interested to know him!”“Hold him down!” Edgar said to the security guards.At this moment, Dr. Cheryl's classmates were entertained to see how Alex dug his own grave.Dr. Cheryl was unable to fend for herself while being publicly insulted. Even Benjamin was forced to keep quiet. “You'll regret this!” Alex said angrily.“Damn, this guy is still acting tough! I can't stand the sight of him, he’s obnoxious.

Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood.
