When Alex fetched Cheryl at the Coney familyâs residential unit, he could not help his eyes from
glistening. At this moment, he saw Cheryl wearing a white T-shirt with embroideries. She had on a pair
of sea blue jeans coupled with a pair of red sneakers. She looked young, beautiful, and full of vigor. He
could not tell that she was already a mature woman of twenty-six
years old. She was more like a college student walking out of the campus.
Alex poked out his head and whistled. âOh, my, whose sister is this? Are you taken yet?â
As soon as the voice fell, Jamesâs voice rang from the inside next to the unit door. âAlex, Iâm waiting for
you to come to our house for a marriage proposal.â
In that instant, Alex jumped in shock. He seemed a bit awkward.
Cheryl only smiled and pointed at the luggage near her feet. âKind brother, please help to carry my
luggage!â
âWhy are there so many luggage bags?â
âItâs more troublesome for girls to go out than you boys.â
Alex did not speak any further but moved the luggage bags into the car together with James.
Before leaving, James handed over a letter to Alex and said, âAlex, Iâll leave Cheryl to you. Although
sheâs older than you, sheâs very innocent. Just treat her as your sister. If she ever throws a tantrum,
you have to forgive her.â
âGrandpa, Iâm not a kid.â
âHaha, great. Thatâs great. The thing that you guys want is inside this envelope. Have a safe journey.â
Cheryl got into Alexâs car and headed to California airport. Cheryl was in an extremely good yet
nervous mood. She felt as if the two of them were going on a honeymoon. As a result, she did not care
if she could acquire the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy. Instead, she wondered if something special would
happen in this journey. For instance⦠Becoming a woman.
The flight was at ten thirty in the morning. It required three and a half hours to reach Puerto Rico airport
from California.
Cheryl had specially prepared a tablet and downloaded a few movies on it. She was ready to watch the
movies with Alex when the time came.
Each of them wore one side of the earphones. They were just like the usual couples.
However, after getting on the plane, Alex met an acquaintance.
âOh, Alex Rockefeller!â
âIs that you? What a coincidence. Why are you on this flight, too? Are you traveling to Puerto Rico?â
Alex was startled for a brief moment. Never did he expect to bump into someone he knew on the plane.
He took a look at the person.
âHubert Gordon, itâs you. And⦠Thea Stone? Are you two⦠Together?â
It turned out that the one who spoke earlier was a former university classmate.
Recalling those years back then, Alex was a wealthy heir of a 300 billion dollar listed company, and this
Hubert Gordon was also one of his lackeys. However, he was also born with a silver spoon. Moreover,
he did not hail from California but Missouri. After graduation, he went back to Missouri, and the two
drifted apart.
However, their relationship was still fine.
It was just that the beauty next to him, Thea Stone, had a bad relationship with Alex. She was one term
older than Alex and in the same term as Maya Howards. Moreover, this person was a rival to Maya in
the student council. She also bore a bit more animosity toward Alex because he was close to Maya.
At this moment, Thea recognized Alex and said contemptuously, âOh, itâs you, Alex Rockefeller. I heard
that your dad was involved in corruption and treason. You were kicked out of the Rockefellers and
became Assexâs live-in son-in-law. What are you doing here today? Youâre traveling to Puerto Rico with
another woman behind Dorothyâs back Are you trying to earn quick cash by becoming a kept man?â
