They were carrying a few boxes respectfully. When Alex and Cheryl stopped walking, they also
stopped at once and carefully waited.
âOh, we got delayed by an urgent matter!â Alex said with a smile, âAre you okay? You should get some
rest soon!â
Thea pursed her lips and said, âHubert was very worried about you. Good for you, do you think itâs fine
by saying a few simple words? Whatâs in these boxes?â
Cheryl let out a grunt.
If it werenât for Alex to rescue Hubert, it would be hard to say whether he could come back safely!
However, it was really a waste of breath to argue with this woman, so she did not even deign to explain
to her. Other than that, Alex seemed like he did not want to reveal the matter of his murder.
Alex said, âDidnât you see them before? These are all my jades. â
Then, he turned to the people behind him and said, âAlright, send them up for me! Room 206 on the
second floor!â
The leader of those subordinates immediately replied, âYes, Mr. Rockefeller!â
Thea thought that those few people seemed a bit familiar to her. In addition, they were all wearing the
same outfit, they were none other than the subordinates of the Golden Tower. She could not figure it
out at all. Why would the people treat Alex with so
much respect and they even personally helped him to send the jades over.
Why did they not snatch those jades, knowing that they were such valuable treasures?
Were they idiots?
However, if she were to find out that these people would even kneel down to lick Alexâs shoes with just
a word, it was unknown if she would faint on the spot.
After sending the jades to Room 206, the subordinates of Golden Tower put them down. After seeing
Alex waving his hand at them, they were immediately relieved, as if they had heard the good news of
amnesty. They hurriedly retreated with great gratitude, even their footsteps became much lighter.
âAlex, Thea said that you won a piece of one billion dollar emerald in stone gambling. Is it true?â Hubert
asked in an extreme amazement. He wanted to find out the accurate answer from him as well.
âWorth a billion dollars?â Alex nodded his head. He kicked one of the boxes. âYou must be talking about
this. This emerald is of good quality. Indeed, it should be able to be sold for more than a billion dollars if
it is auctioned.â
The box was kicked open, revealing the true appearance emerald inside it.
Hubert was stunned. âSo, itâs actually true?!â
Whereas, a strong sense of envy and jealousy flashed through Theaâs eyes. Even though she was now
Hubertâs girlfriend, she could not even expect to get one billion dollars. One hundred million dollars was
considered a huge amount of money for a lady from families of average income like her.
However, Alex did not take it seriously at all.
After that, he remembered something all of a sudden and said to Hubert, âHubert, I happen to have
something to tell you too. Previously, you said that your family used to sell Mr. Winnâs cosmeceutical
products, but now Iâve noticed a problem.â
Hubert replied, âWhat problem is it?â
âThe cosmeceuticals are poisonous!â
âHuh?â
âNonsense. Where did you hear the rumors from?â
Thea immediately scowled. âIâm using this brand of cosmeceutical product too. Moreover, Iâve used all
of their products before and they are all great, so where did the poison come from? I think you just hate
to see that Hubert is doing good, so you even dare to say such hypothetical things.â
Hubert asked, âAlex, how did you know about it?â
Alex replied, âI saw a document in Giovanni Winnâs safe keep. It was the core technical component in
the cosmeceutical products. Itâs a new venom that could make peopleâs human skin dependent on it. If
the product is not used for a period of time, the skin will fester. Moreover, psychologically, it will also
create a strong sense of dependency, just like taking those stuff.â
âNo way?â Hubertâs expression changed abruptly.
It was because he suddenly remembered that some people did have such side effects. However, after
they continued using the product, they were fine again.
At this time, Alex smiled. âBut, donât you worry. Thereâs a type of antidote that can detoxify the poison,
thatâs Lush Cosmetics.â
