âAlright, Iâll be there later!â Alex thought for a while before agreeing.
He was going to head into Caesarâs tomb soon, and to be honest, the more he understood, the less
confidence he had. If even his father had been trapped in it, how could he return safely?
He wasnât sure. However, for the sake of his parents, Alex needed to make the trip.
This was an obligatory matter as the son of the man. Dorothy had been his original partner, and she
should understand this, and it was a matter Alex needed to explain clearly to her.
Claire heard his agreement and was happy. âOkay, Iâll go shopping now. What do you want to eat? If
you can tell me now, Iâll have some idea of what to shop for.â
âAnything is good. Iâm not a picky eater⦠Uh, or maybe itâs better if you wait for me to come over and
cook!â Alex said.
The things that Claire cooked couldnât be forced down the throat, and if they werenât careful, they might
end up being poisoned to death.

On the other side, Rhea Hauffer had returned to Michigan.
This woman was extremely decisive when doing things, just like how things were done in her industry.
Once she decided, she wouldnât change her mind again because she was extremely confident in
herself.
For example, this time, after drawing a clear line with Azure, she had completely put him out of her
mind.
The car was parked in an underground parking garage, and she didnât forget to glance at herself in the
mirror to laugh to herself. âRhea Hauffer, what kind of sickness in the head have you gotten? To have
given a glance at a man who was no different than an incompetent martial artist, what does he even
have? How can such a foolish man be worthy of you, Rhea Hauffer?
âAfter today, that guy will probably die. It was fortunate that I ran away fast!â
After that, she went upstairs to freshen herself up and entered the lobby of the Hauffer villa.
âRhea, youâre back!â
âCongratulations, congratulations! Rhea, you really have a good eye to have your eyes on Azure of
Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Heâs the godson of the late Lord Lex and now the brother of the current
president, Waltz. Thereâs no limit to how far you can go in the future.â
âSister Rhea, when will you invite us to the ceremony?â
âBy the way, Rhea, I heard that the Sky Tower project that Thousand Miles Conglomerate won has
officially been launched. This project is the largest shipping project in Michigan in the past ten years.
Since the relationship between you and Azure is almost a set deal, let us, Hauffer Group, also
participate in the project It should be fine to get the role to supply building materials, right?â
ââ¦â
Hearing the rushed well wishes and congratulations from her family members, Rhea was stunned.
She rolled her eyes and said dumbfoundedly, âYour news is too dated. Donât you know that Thousand
Miles has offended people who shouldnât be offended and that theyâve now most likely been cut off?
âThat was news that I got while I was in California, and now, theyâre probably all gone by now!â
âThat idiot, Azure, he didnât listen to me. I already dumped him a long time ago. People like him will
have no chance to be outstanding. They have too little knowledge and are too stupid. They donât have
a great future, and itâs easy to give trouble to me. This kind of person, I will never want them!â
âNow, he probably has already become a prisoner or killed by people from Department Six! He reaped
what he sowed, what an idiot!â
The moment Rhea finished speaking, a proud and arrogant expression appeared on her face.
However, she found that the people from her family were looking at her in shock.
Rhea smiled and said, âWhy are you guys looking at me like that? Do you admire the fact thatI chose to
withdraw at the most critical moment? Otherwise, I would have also been dragged in.â
Jack Hauffer said, âRhea, is that true? Youâve dumped Azure?â
âThatâs right, Grandpa. Iâm great, right?â
As a resultâ¦
Slap!
Jack raised his hand, sending her a slap on her face without warning. âYouâre calling others idiot when
youâre the real idiot! I thought you were a slick and crafty person, and Iâve just realized that youâre an
idiot that cannot be cured.â
Rhea was dazed from the slap.
âGrandpa, why the heck did you hit me? What have I done wrong?â Rhea held her face, tears rolling
from her eyes, and her face full of grief.
