She was afraid that she might not be able to survive university if she were to expose them.
When they reached the parking lot, Alex realized that Michelle was giving him a red Aston Martin. Its
cool structure was quite trendy, but it wasnât designed to drive through potholes easily.
âSorry, I couldnât get the M8 you wanted. There are none of them left in California right now. You can
take this first and Iâll get you the M8 after itâs stocked up.â
âLook at her, how generous.â
She was able to buy a luxurious car that cost hundreds of thousands just like that, as if she was simply
buying a balloon.
âAlright!â Alex wasnât picky with cars.
They headed to a spicy stew restaurant.
Michelle was surprised. âYou wanted to treat me to this?â
Alex replied, âI was initially going to treat Priscilla, but she went home. Letâs just order something
simple.â
âAre you trying to pursue Priscilla? I can help you, you know? Iâll have her in your bed in just a few
days.â
Alex hit Michelle on her forehead with chopsticks.
âDo I look like that kind of person? I have a wife!â Alex wasnât interested in her nonsense and said, âI
have something to ask you. Does your family own this new material from Thousand Leaves?â
Michelle thought about it and nodded. âYeah, I think so. Why do you ask?â
Alex explained the whole situation to her.
Michelle thumped her chest and said, âThatâs easy, Iâll just make a call and have someone send a
permit now! How dare that Assex Construction company bully your wife? Iâll forfeit their permit for that, I
just need to say the word.â
Alex shook his head after putting in some thought.
The Assexes were still Dorothyâs family. If he were to agree to this, the Assexes would become restless
about it. The old lady would definitely rush to Claireâs place like a maniac and yell at him. He would
have to show them mercy this time.
Michelle immediately made a call.
Their employees were very efficient as well.
In just thirty minutes, a middle-aged man arrived with a document pouch.
Michelle pointed towards Alex. âHand it to him, heâs Alex Rockefeller, Grandpaâs VIP. If he ever asks
you for something, youâre obliged to follow his orders, got it?â
This man was Jack Trent, the general manager of Thousand Leaves, and thus an employee of the
Yowells as well. With Michelleâs words, he gave Alex his utmost respect and handed him the document.
He then pulled out a card, smiling widely. âMr. Rockefeller, this is my business card. If you need
anything, just give me a call. Iâve met Ms. Assex from Assex Construction City South Subsidiary
Company too. Sheâs very responsible and capable. This permit will allow you to sell our new material
throughout the country, you wonât be limited to just one area.â
Alex smiled and took the document. âThanks.â
He took a glance at the left side of Jackâs waist and asked, âMr. Trent, have you been experiencing
back pain?â
Jack was taken aback, he didnât expect Alex to ask such a question. âHow did you know, Mr.
Rockefeller? Itâs nothing really, I mustâve been cooped up in my office, sitting for long hours must have
caused me back pain. Itâs an occupational disease, but itâs not much of a bother to me.â
Alex shook his head. âMr. Trent, thatâs not any normal back pain. You have kidney stones. Think about
it, itâs not just the back, right? Havenât you been feeling nauseous and vomiting lately? Your urine most
likely has a slight tint of red too. Your kidney stone is getting pretty bad.â
âHuh?â Jack remembered that his urine was definitely light red this morning.
Alex said, âCome here.â
Jack froze again.
Michelle furrowed her eyebrows. âJack Trent, just do as he says. Heâs the master of Californiaâs miracle
doctor, a legendary doctor himself! Youâre very lucky to have him diagnose you.â
Jackâs mouth fell agape, he couldnât believe it at all.
Suddenly, a woman started laughing and spoke sarcastically. âThe master of Californiaâs miracle
doctor? A legendary doctor himself? What a joke! If heâs a legendary doctor, then Iâd be St Mary.â
