The door opened and Alex walked into the villa on his own.
Unexpectedly, the living room was completely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his
usual room. There was a bathroom attached.
He flung the bathroom door open and froze.
There was someone inside of the bathroom, Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State
University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad
on her underwear.
Their eyes met.
Beatrice was surprised too.
After freezing in place for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. âRockefeller, you jerk! Iâll kill
you!â
Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. âHey, I didnât mean to! I didnât see anything.â
Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that Claire had come home.
Hearing Beatriceâs screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily,
âHey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Donât you dare run, I
need an explanation here.â
Beatrice came running, crying. âMom, this bastard saw my private parts!â
âWhat did you say?â Claire lifted an arm to slap Alex, screaming. âYou really are a bastard! Beatrice is
your sister-in-law! How dare you molest her? Iâll beat you to death!â
As a man, he knew he was unable to reason with them in this situation.
So, he just let Claireâs slap happen. But when Claire wanted to slap him again, he dodged and said,
âMom, donât be mad, this is all just a misunderstanding. I wanted to use the toilet, but Beatrice was in
there. How could I know that she was in the restroom downstairs? She didnât even lock the door!â
Beatrice was fuming. âThis is my house, I can be wherever I want! And itâs my choice whether to lock
the doors or not. You donât even live here.â
She was still mad about what happened in school earlier. Now, she wanted to kill Alex if she could.
Alex replied, âFine then, Iâll apologize, okay? I didnât mean it, and I just saw a black bush, I didnât see
anything else!â
âBlack bush?â
Beatrice was going to explode from anger.
Alex knew that he would never be able to reason with them. He found a chance and ran out the door.
âF*ck, what luckI have!â
âThese two will probably complain to Dorothy later!â
As expected, he received a call from Dorothy before he got back to Maple Villa.
Dorothy wasnât a madwoman like Claire.
âDid you get into an argument with my sister again? This timeâs worse, she said you molested her.
What happened?â
Alex immediately explained everything to Dorothy. After listening to him, Dorothy was still slightly
uncomfortable with what happened. However, Alex was not to blame for it, so she changed the topic.
She talked about the selling rights of Thousand Leaves.
Alex said, âDonât worry, I have the selling permit in hand. You donât have to feel threatened by the old
lady again.â
A day passed quickly.
The next morning, Joanne, Anderson and Emma arrived at the Assex Construction City South
Subsidiary Company.
At that same moment, a client came by to get their purchases.
Anderson yelled. âStop right there!â
