Beatrice stared at Alex in disbelief.
The pianist wore a mask on stage. However, by comparing the two and with the information that Alan
provided, she was sure that the pianist was her brother-in-law.
âHe knows how to play the piano and has mastered it! Even Alan had to step down for him! But wasnât
he just a loser?â
âIf he had such skills, why was be willing to slave away for us?â
She couldnât understand at all, but her gaze softened as she continued to stare at Alex.
Thinking back to when Zendaya performed âDoors of Fateâ on stage, the emotions she felt made her
feel
like Alex should break up with her sister and be with Zendaya instead.
âHow could he fall in love with someone else? He should be with Zendaya!â
Alex, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on in Beatriceâs head. He didnât expect Beatrice to
bump into Alan during the concert, let alone know that Lush Cosmetics would expose his identity as the
pianist.
âSo, Lush Cosmetics was invented by your mother? How long has it even been since she woke up from
her coma? How could she make any good quality cosmetics in such a short time? Donât tell me, she
rnustâve added some weird chemicals. Wouldnât want any health hazards now, do we?â
Claire threw the products aside, scornful.
Alex frowned slightly. âFine, whatever. I can save it for better use anyway.â
Claire was hostile. âYou never bought me any gifts marrying my daughter, and now youâre giving me
some hazardous products? I donât care if your mom wants to defeat Rockefeller Group, thatâs wishful
thinking anyway. But I wonât forgive you if you got us involved.â
Alexâs gaze turned cold, he remembered what his mother had said.
âWould I really be happy with such a mother-in-law? Can I really handle this life forever?â
âIf I canât keep my promise and make Dorothy the richest woman in California, wouldnât that mean I
wonât ever get her recognition?â
Dorothy spoke up. âMom, if you donât want it, Iâll have it.â
She took the bag and dragged Alex upstairs. âHubby, help me pick an outfit to attend the wedding in.â
Claire yelled behind them. âDorothy, you inherited my beauty. So donât let those hazardous products
destroy your looks! Otherwise, you wonât be able to remarry later on!â
After entering the room, Dorothy hugged Alex as she tried comforting him.
He still seemed quite gloomy, hence she used her trump card. Kissing his forehead and nose, she said,
âHubby, you know how my mom is, so donât take it to heart. If she ever does insult you again, you can
take it out on me. Iâm her daughter, so I have to pay for what she did.â
Alexâs anger and frustration went down. He grabbed her by the waist and pinned her to the bed. âHow
so?â
Dorothy was slightly startled, but she whispered a three letter word softly into his ears. Upon hearing it,
Alex was so excited that he almost jumped the gun.
However, they had to attend a wedding later. Otherwise, he wouldâve gone down to business right there
and then.
She then changed into different outfits in front of Alex, having him help her pick one out.
Alex, on the other hand, was slightly overwhelmed. He could feel his whole body warming up.
âDarling, youâre just so breathtaking, so it doesnât matter what you wear! Youâre bound to make
everything you wear look good. But Iâd suggest you wear something more lowkey, or you might steal
the
brideâs spotlight! And that wouldnât be good, right?â Alex suggested matter of factly.
âTell me then, what should I wear.â
âHow about nothing?â Alex joked.
Dorothy huffed. âI donât mind as long as you let me.â
