âWhat exactly happened to my mother?â Dorothy Assex pulled Alex Rockefeller aside while she asked.
Alex thought about it for a moment. âIâm afraid a part of her memory was affected when the angioma
ruptured. Now, sheâs lost a portion of her memory. I canât say for sure when sheâll recover her memory,
but her lesion is already gone.â
âIn that case, do you know which part of her memory was lost?â Dorothy asked.
âI really have no idea. Weâll have to experiment and find out gradually,â Alex said.
Dorothy and Alex looked at each other for a few seconds. She then nodded.
âIs your mother alright?â Dorothy then asked.
âMy mother? Did you find out about it too?â Alex asked.
âThe great battle on Moonlight Lake went viral. How could I not have found out?â Dorothy rolled her
eyes.
âItâs all fine now!â Alex said.
âThatâs good,â Dorothy said.
âHoney, I sense something odd with your body. I need to give you a thorough check-up,â Alex said.
Dorothy pushed Alexâs hand away. âGet lost! I think youâre just horny. Iâm not in the mood right now,â
she said.
âEhh, thatâs not what I meantâ¦â
âIf youâre really too energetic, go and cook us a meal. The stuff my mother cooks tastes like pigâs
food⦠Also, take care of the wound on her face. How could we let her go out like this?â Dorothy said
as she pointed at Beatrice.

âHow did you cut your face?â Alex brought Beatrice to her room.
This was the first time Alex entered her room. To his surprise, it was rather neat and clean. There were
quite many photos of herself. Most of thern were of her in weird poses.
Beatrice had a complicated look in her eyes when she faced Alex.
There was a tinge of sadness in them. However, she didnât answer Alexâs question. âDoes this mean I
still have to address you as my brother-in-law?â she asked.
Alex shook her head. âItâd be best if you didnât,â he said.
Beatriceâs eyes lit up. âWhy is that?â
âWhen I got a divorce from your sister, one of the reasons was because of your mother. Most
importantly, it was because I would put all of you in danger. Itâs fine if we got a divorce. That way, all of
you would also receive less harm,â Alex said.
âJust like how I was kidnapped by Carol last time?â Beatrice asked.
âThatâs right!â Alex said.
When Carol was mentioned, Alexâs gaze instantly turned cold. He had already found out that Carol
Rockefeller played a big part in Brittany Rockefeller being kidnapped by the ancestor of the Witch
Doctor Sect. Carol even instigated the ancestor to chop off Brittanyâs limbs.
This woman hated Alex and his family to the core. Meanwhile, her behavior seemed to have no limits to
be spoken of. Her target of revenge was not Alex himself but the people around him.
This person had to die!
When Beatrice saw Alex like this, she was a little scared.
Alex, on the other hand, took out a jade pendant from his fanny pack. It looked identical to the one he
gave Cheryl Coney previously. Coincidentally, there was still blood on Beatriceâs face. He directly
smeared some of her blood on the jade pendant.
A flash of light appeared briefly.
âWhat is thisâ¦?â
âThis is a defensive mystical tool. If you keep it on, it can protect you!â Alex said blandly.
At this point, there was already no reason to keep things a secret. It would be helpful for Beatrice to
find out a little more about these things.
âIf you donât need to remove it, keep this thing on you at all times, and donât take it off,â Alex added.
Beatriceâs eyes widened. She touched the jade pendant and seemed to be very fond of it.
âYour wound must have been cut by a certain sharp object, right? Did someone do it?â Alex looked at
Beatriceâs face.
âHuh? I⦠I went to Moonlight Lake earlier. A window exploded. Thatâs howâ¦â Beatrice said.
âYouâre too free, â Alex said.
âWas that⦠Was that person you?â Beatrice asked.
