There were countless experts beneath the number one fighter in Californiaâs underworld. Even in the
eyes of
the public, Lord Lex Gunther was to be considered among the most influential people.
But this man in front of Alex Rockefeller was bending over backward, trying his best to please him,
humbler
than a beggar. How could someone like this compare to Lord Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles
Conglomerate?
This man wasnât even worthy of being Lord Lex Guntherâs servant. Lord Lex Gunther was stunned for a
moment. He couldnât move. How many years had it been?
In California, he ruled the entire underworld. Who wouldnât show him respect? Even the mayor of
California
addressed him by name and bought him a cup of tea.
However, this annoying woman in front of him had the
audacity to actually spit in his face. If she had been someone else, he would have been enraged,
getting someone to chop her up and feed her to the
dogs. But this was Alex Rockefellerâs mother-in-law. Had he not just witnessed her yelling at Mr.
Rockefeller
too?
Lord Lex Gunther felt much better when he thought about how he and Mr. Rockefeller were on the
same level. In fact, he was even a little happy. Indeed, Madame Claire Assex pointed at Alex and
began yelling, âYouâre a loser. Did you really think that I
was stupid? Did you think Iâd fall for that? Lord Lex Gunther is a prominent Californian. Heâs a big shot
But
look at this manâs behavior. What difference are he and a pug?
Please, if youâre going to find someone to
behave this way, at least find one who looks more fitting⦠Okay, if you want to die, go ahead and do it,
but
donât drag our family into it. Sure, you can act all you want with a fake Lord Lex Gunther. Iâd like to see
what
youâd actually do if the real Lord Lex Gunther were here.â
âI am the real Lord Lex Gunther!â Lord Lex Gunther cried helplessly. Madame Claire pushed him away.
âAnd Iâm a real queen! Get lost!â Alex sighed. âYou should head back first!â he said to Lord Lex
Gunther. Of course, Lord Lex Gunther didnât want to deal with such a woman as annoying as Madame
Claire. He could
neither hit nor argue with her. Alex happened to speak his mind, and he hurriedly left. Lady Dorothy
Assex said nothing throughout the entire debacle.
She had become numb to her motherâs vices. For now, Lady Dorothy only had Cheryl Coney on her
mind. She felt incredibly jealous. In the end, Lady Beatrice Assex was the one who finally spoke up.
âMom, stop being so unreasonable all the
time. We really ought to thank Alex for what he did today. If he hadnât been around, who knows what
might
have happened to us? Vanya Tyler went after me specifically. Sheâs not a good person. Alex saved us.â
Alex was surprised. Since when Lady Beatrice took his side?
Madame Claire, on the other hand, was furious, never expecting her youngest daughter to take Alexâs
side. âAre you out of your mind? Donât you hate him a lot? Why are you helping him?â
âIâm not helping anyone. I only side with reason. Anyway, Iâm on my brother-in-lawâs side in this matter,â
Lady Beatrice said.
Madame Claire continued yelling for a long while. Finally, she still insisted on leaving. But the three of
them
had just recovered from the parasitic disease, and they didnât have a car. Only Alex could drive them.
Before leaving, Lady Dorothy walked up to Cheryl.
âDr. Coney, thank you for saving us today. One day, Iâll
definitely return the favor! However, Alex is my husband, and I wonât offer him to you. You should just
give
up!â Cheryl moved close to Lady Dorothyâs ear. âIâm not asking you to offer him up. Iâm just waiting for
the two
of you to get a divorce,â she whispered. âIn that case, you can wait until youâre old and gray!â
âThat wonât happen. Your mother will help me,â Cheryl said. ââ¦â Lady Dorothy was furious, but in the
end, she was dragged away by Madame Claire. Alex drove them to Senna Port. When they arrived,
Lady Beatrice took her sweet time to get out of the car. After both Madame Claire and Lady Dorothy got
out, she winked at Alex. âThank you, Alex! I believe that
Lord Lex Gunther wonât trouble you,â she said. âOh? Even your mother doesnât believe that, so why
must you?â Alex asked. âBecause⦠I simply believe,â Lady Beatrice said. âHehe⦠Well, let me show
you something,â Alex said. Alex took his phone out and showed her a video.
When she saw it, Lady Beatrice suddenly covered her mouth. With a look of disbelief on her face, tears
began
to roll down her cheeks. âThank you. Thank you for doing these for me,â she sobbed softly as she
embraced Alex.
