âWhat?â âIs that⦠Really grandpa?â
More importantly, they had noticed how their grandfather referred to Alex.
He called him âGrandmaster Alex.â
It was then that the two felt as if a hammer had smashed their hearts.
The main reason they had come to California was to see the new president of the SCBA Their
grandfather had told them that the new president was Grandmaster Alex.
Moreover, Frederick even strongly suggested that Yannis become grandmaster Alexâs secretary. If
anything at all, he hoped that she could become Alexâs wife.
Yone had been looking for information on Grandmaster Alex for the past two days as well. However, he
didnât get anything at all. There was just no information that could be obtained on this man.
Yet, now, he had found out that Alex, the ex-husband of the woman he was into, was Grandmaster
Alex. The expert who could cure his grandfather of his stomach cancer.
âI canât accept this!â
Alex said calmly, âCome to Maple Villa 8 right now, else both your grandchildren are done for.â
âHuh?â Frederick was shocked. âWhat happened, Grandmaster Alex? Did Yone and Yannis offend you
somehow?â
âJust come over now,â Alex said and hung up.
Frederick, who was dining with an old friend, immediately hopped out of his seat. He couldnât even
explain anything, ditching his friend without a word.
âYou⦠Youâre Grandmaster Alex?
Yone stared at Alex with disbelief and fear, stuttering over his words. Although be doubted Alexâs
abilities, he knew that his grandfather wholeheartedly trusted Alex.
Frederick was still the head of the family, the reason why the two siblings had to rush over to California.
They werenât his only grandchildren as well. Frederick had five grandsons and three granddaughters.
As Frederick continued to age, his stomach cancer was an indication that he didnât have much time left
in this world. Hence, his family started feuding against each other behind his back, wanting to gain
more of his inheritance and status within the family after Frederickâs death.
They knew that they couldnât afford to provoke Alex, an expert who could possibly cure their
grandfather. If so, their extended family would probably attack them, making them more insignificant in
their grandfatherâs eyes.
This was just too much of a consequence for them to bear.
However, Claire had no idea about this, not one bit.
Her eyes were filled with fury as she turned to Alex. âWhat are you trying to pull, Rockefeller? I refuse
to believe that youâd know my son-in-lawâs grandfather. Heâs the richest man in West California! Heâs
much more legendary than who your father used to be! Hmph! I know you too well. This is probably just
another actor you hired, right?â
Alex rubbed his temples. âClaire Assex, Iâll be frank. Iâve always seen you as a mere lunatic. Dorothy
feels the same too. Thatâs why I always endured your nonsense, but donât you dare cross the line over
and over again!â
âWhat did you say? Did you call me a lunatic?â Claire was so furious she scrunched her nose up.
Alex said, âYes, Dorothy told me herself. Youâve been traumatized in the past, so your brain is a little
wonky. Youâve lost your ability to feel normal emotions. All you have left is your obsession with money.â
âYou⦠Bullsli*t! I refuse to believe that Dorothy would speak about me in such a way! Iâm her mother!â
âIf youâre actually normal, then you donât deserve to be a mother!â
âBullsh*t!â
âI wonât argue with you any further. Didnât you say that you love money? How about this? Iâll give you
ten billion dollars if you promise to kowtow before me, and only me.â
âHuh?!â
With this, Claire, Waltz, and Daya were stunned.
Aunt Rockefellerâs expression darkened even further.
âThis is simply ridiculous.â
Smack!
Aunt Rockefeller approached him and slapped Alex on the back of his head. âHey Alex, arenât you
going a little too far? This woman used to be your mother-in-law, and youâre asking her to kowtow
before you and only you? What were you even thinking?â
Waltz took a glance at Claireâs beauty, and her eyes widened slightly.
She thought, âCould Alex really have some kind of fetish?â
Alex immediately explained. âNo, of course not! I simply meantâ¦â
However, he couldnât finish his sentence.
