Then, she saw Brittany standing there lively with a couple beside her. She saw the photo of the man before—it was Charles Carter. The lady with a beautiful look, needless to say, was Charles’ wife, Hailey Lawson.

At the moment, Charles and Hailey were helping out Brittany in the kitchen.

Witnessing such a scene, Dorothy’s jaw almost dropped.

“Mom! You, you’ve recovered! That’s great!” Dorothy said.

“Dorothy.” Brittany smiled. “Awww, that’s kind so kind of you bringing so many gifts, you don’t have to do that.”

Brittany had a differing opinion about Dorothy as she heard that her son lived as though a slave in the Assex family and even got humiliated by his mother-in-law. How could she not be angry when that was her one and only son? However, Alex had been strongly speaking well of Dorothy in front of her. He claimed that those were just rumors and he was the incapable one who failed to live up to expectations. Brittany decided to let it go, especially after hearing that Dorothy sta

    Charles would definitely reject her if it was the time before he met Dorothy.However, now that Alex and Dorothy decided not to divorce after reconciliation, so Charles could only think of seeking Alex’s opinion.When Alex heard that, he was a little shocked as he did not expect that Charles would do that for him.However, he shook his head as soon as he heard the name “Emma Assex”. “Just a while ago, my wife has just got fired by Assex Constructions and the one who replaces her seems to be Emma Assex.”“What?”Charles was shocked. Never did he believe that Dorothy would be fired by Assex Constructions despite she was a member of the Assex family.Alex smiled awkwardly. “It’s my fault. Now Dorothy has to suffer for me because I offended Madame Joanne a few days ago.”At this moment, Alex’s phone rang and the name “Beatrice Assex” appeared on the screen.After pondering for a while, he decided to answer the call.However, Claire’s voice was heard. “Hey, Alex, is Dorothy with yo

    Charles nodded and waved at Emma and Shermaine. “I think Assex Constructions is not suitable for Waylon Realty, both of you can leave now.”Emma said, “Ain’t you gonna say something, Dorothy? Even though you’re no longer an employee of Assex Constructions, you’re still part of the Assexes. Help me, I’ll pay you ten million dollars if we get the deal.”Dorothy lowered her head and continued with her meal. She was too lazy to even look at her due to the worrying intelligence of that woman.Charles chided, “Get out of here! Do you think you can just get anything from Waylon Realty solely with your connection?” Both women were kicked out of the villa.The door banged shut behind them.Emma was extremely pissed off and her eyes were filled with malice.Shermaine had a gloomy yet regretful expression on her face. If Dorothy had Charles to back her up, she would not have to worry about losing her position as a general manager. However, Shermaine herself would certainly lose her job if

    After the dinner, Alex and Dorothy left Maple Villa as Alex had to help Brittany to get an over hundred-year-old ginseng.Along the journey, Dorothy behaved like a curious baby.“How do you know Charles?“How come you are staying at Maple Villa?“Both of you seem to be extraordinarily close!“And, what about this car…”Alex asked with a smile, “I honestly have no idea how to answer you as you threw so many questions to me in one go. In fact, it was because of Zoey. When Zoey was eating mountain hawthorn and it got stuck in her throat, I was just there to help and take it out.”Dorothy asked with a frown, “Is that it? And he gave you such a big villa in return?”Alex said, “Uhmm... we are just staying temporarily. He knew that we had no accommodation when I was kicked out by your mom, hence, so he asked us to move in.”There was nothing wrong with his words. After all, his name was not registered on the property deed.Dorothy said, “It doesn’t seem to be appropriate. Why don’t

    Alex smiled and said, “Be patient, I’ll definitely help you get 10% of the company shares and the position of general manager.”Dorothy said with her eyes sparkling, “I don’t need those things. I only need to get back the subsidiary company in City South.” “Sure!”Seeing Alex being endowed with intellect and confidence in handling matters, the gloominess that had lingered inside Dorothy for about half a year started to dissipate a little.She concluded that it was because Brittany finally woke up from her coma.Swiftly, they arrived at Assex Manor.However, they seemed to have judged wrongly.Anderson and Emma did not come to beg for a genuine apology. As Dorothy and Alex arrived at the entrance, they could hear Anderson’s arrogant voice. “Hey Claire, you should be aware that since Henry’s death, you and your daughters have been able to live a comfortable life in such a villa with a housekeeper, it’s all because of generosity by the Assexes.”“But, what has Dorothy done?

    As soon as Madame Joanne heard his mockery, she wished that she could hurry forward and kill Alex with her walking stick.However, it was a matter of life and death for the Assex family. Thus, she immediately got her eldest son, Benny to pay a Claire visit with her.They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutes later.As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as she complained, “Grandma, Dorothy and her trashy husband are simply rubbing salt in the wound! They are jealous of our family’s prosperity and deliberately want to destroy it! That bastard did not only hit me but dad too! He is a brute!”As Emma was just done complaining, Alex landed another slap on her beautiful face before Madame Joanne even managed to express any opinion.“Emma Assex, a woman like you has no right to insult me, Alex Rockefeller,” Alex said indifferently after slapping Emma, “My mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do so, but you’re not qualified at

    “What? You want 100% shares? No way, 70% is the maximum.”“Deal.”“You…?”Alex said with a smile, “Grandma, the contract with Waylon Realty will be presented to you by tomorrow noon. Please get the equity contract of the subsidiary company in City South ready as well. It’s a deal. Goodbye, Grandma. I won’t be sending you off.”After leaving the villa, Madame Joanne lamented loudly while beating her chest and stamping her feet, “Brute! He is such a brute! What have the Assexes done to deserve this!” Meanwhile, inside the villa, Madame Claire asked with a frown, “Are you insane, Dorothy? How could you compare the 70% of subsidiary company shares in City South and the 10% shares from Assex Constructions? The difference is just too much. Also, the position of general manager at the headquarters is much more important. You are losing the big prize while grabbing trifles.”Dorothy shook her head and said, “Mom, it’s not easy to be a general manager in the headquarter. There’s CEO and

    Alex put down Claire’s fair, tender feet and said, “I need to answer a call.”Claire shouted, “Why are you in a hurry? It’s just a call! There’s one more foot to go! Well, you’re quite good at massaging.”Alex turned around with an annoyed look. “I’ll wash my hand first.” As soon as he answered the call, Cheryl asked, “Alex, have you gotten the hundred-year-old ginseng?”Alex sighed as he answered, “It’s seriously a rare item. I couldn’t find any even though I’ve searched quite a number of places.” Cheryl said with a smile, “I knew it. I’ve gotten one for you.”“Oh! Seriously?”“Yes, I just happened to see it and then immediately bought it.”“Where are you now? I’ll come over.”“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”After Alex finished the call, he saw Claire with one foot lying on the tea table, hinting that she wanted him to continue with the massage. Alex immediately said, “Dorothy, Mom, I have to go now because I have something to do.”Dorothy asked, “Where are you going?”

    “Ahhh--”In a state of shock, Cheryl screamed and even forgot to avoid the blow.Alex immediately wrapped Cheryl in his arms and endured the attack with his back. It was almost instantly that he felt the heavy blow on his back.Bang! Bang! Bang!Three consecutive blows were landed.Not only one man tried to attack them but the other two men did too, with all their might.Without any delay, they continued whacking him with wooden sticks.Cheryl finally regained her focus and realized that Alex was protecting her in his embrace, while he was the one to endure the attacks. Her heart raced and tears were gushing down from her eyes as she heard the loud clunks of the wooden sticks hitting on Alex’s back. However, as she raised her head, she saw the calm and determined look in Alex’s eyes.At that particular moment, the image of his face was rooted in her mind.Snap!One of the wooden sticks was broken.Afterward, someone said, “Enough, don’t kill him.”Under normal circumstances

He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,

They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out...

    Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... 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. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—!

    The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina!

Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other.
