âBeatrice, it is absolutely impossible between us.â
âThings like this are hard to tell. Weâll see as we go. Anyway, Iâm not in a hurry!â
Alex felt a moment of helplessness. âLook at me, which part of me attracts you. Iâll change it, okay?â
âYouâll still attract me even if youâve changed!â
Soon after, the two people bought two watermelons at the entrance of the neighborhood and they
returned to Assex Villa. Unexpectedly, they saw a red BMW X5 at the entrance of the villa. At first
glance, the licensed plate was from Michigan.
âWasnât that the car driven by the ill-mannered woman earlier?â
Alex was astonished for a moment. âThis person canât be your relative, right?â
Beatrice said, âImpossible. My family doesnât know anyone from Michigan, let alone relatives.â
As a result, the two of them walked into the villa. At first glance, the atmosphere inside was rather odd
and depressing.
Especially Claire, who seemed to be irritated as her expression turned pale. Everyone else had an
awful look on their faces as well.
âMom, whatâs happening? Who is this woman? She was driving recklessly in the neighborhood just
now and almost hit Bro Alex!â Beatrice asked as she walked over to Claire and stood beside her.
However, the woman spoke first, âOh, so youâre the little girl a few years ago, Beatrice Assex! I havenât
seen you in years, you seem to have grown into a woman, arenât you? Is this your man?â
Beatrice screamed in shock, âYou know me? Youâreâ¦â
When she took a closer look at the personâs face, her expression changed abruptly in that instant. âAh,
itâs you! Youâre the shameless woman. How dare you show up at my house? Didnât that man come with
you?â
It turned out that the woman was Henry Assexâs secretary who had snatched Claireâs husband from her
back then, Maggie Jagger.
Back then, Beatrice saw her and her father was on the bed with her own eyes⦠It had irritated her little
heart. Now that she saw her again, how could she not be excited?
âSo, you are talking about your father! Heâs dead!â Maggie said it with an understatement.
âWhat?â The expressions of the few Assexes changed abruptly.
Even though they had long treated Henry like a dead man, they could not help feeling shocked when
they heard the news in person.
âHow did he die?â Beatrice asked.
âHe died of sickness.â
âHe died well! He reaped what he sowed and he deserved to die!â said Beatrice loudly. âHe abandoned
his wife and daughters, and was unfaithful in marriage. Heâs caught red handed having an affair in bed
and he even pushed my mom, which caused her to suffer from a brain illness for so many years. He
deserved it. God would be blind if he isnât dead!â
She shouted and vented the pain that was buried deep in her heart. However, after expressing herself,
she could not help crying.
Maggie shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, âYour father is already dead. Letâs not discuss
whether he deserves to die or not!â
âThen, why are you here?â
âMe?â Maggie looked around the surrounding in the villa with a satisfied expression. âI came here for
money! This house is pretty good, it fulfills my criteria and itâs also worthy of my status. You people
shall move out tomorrow and this place will belong to me.â
âWhat?â
Upon hearing it, everyone present was dumbfounded.
