âMom, Mom. What happened to you?â
âD*mn it. What did you do to my mother?â When Benny and Anderson Assex saw their mother had
passed out on the floor, they immediately panicked. Quickly, they picked her up. Enraged, Anderson
even shoved Granny Blackwood. Benny was horrified, and quickly, be restrained Anderson from going
any further.
Benny had heard from Madame Joanne that Granny Blackwood was a terrifying person. Her body was
supposedly covered in poison, and she could inflict parasitic diseases on anyone without even making
a sound. Hence, Benny knew Granny Blackwood must have done something to his mother. He also
didnât dare hit her. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and people would see that Granny
Blackwood didnât even do
anything to Madame Joanne from its footage.
There was nothing to accuse her of. Alex Rockefeller frowned a little. He had asked Granny Blackwood
to put Madame Joanne in a coma without being obvious about it, not
expecting her to act right away and in the plain sight of everyone too. Alex, however, didnât care
anymore. Granny Blackwood spat at Anderson before chuckling coldly. âWho are you?
How dare you push me? Indeed, Joanne can never give birth to anything nice. Youâre just like her when
she was a kid,â she said.
Granny Blackwood glanced at Alex before turning around and leaving. âHurry, send Mom to the
hospital!â The Assex family had shown up as if they owned the place, but now, they scurried away like
roaches. Madame Joanne, in particular, had arrived standing but left while getting carried horizontally.
âIf anything happens to my mother, I wonât let you off the hook,â Benny said coldly to Alex before he left.
Alex let out a cynical chuckle. âEverybody knows what happened to your mother. She offended too
many
people out there, and she deserved this. If you want to exact revenge on me, bring it on. Iâll be ready
for
anything,â Alex said. He really didnât think much of the Assex family. At this point, if Alex really wanted
to deal with them, he
simply had to make a few calls and the Assex family would be gone forever.
He simply just wasnât bothered. Once the Assex family had left, Jenny Cassidy raised her fair thumb at
Alex. âAlex, you really are amazing. You even scared Madame Joanne off.â
Jenny could be considered a long time employee of the company. She had already been around since
the time
Alex helped Lady Dorothy Assex establish the Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company.
Hence, she and Alex knew each other.
Previously, she was also Maya Howardsâ subordinate and shared an even
closer relationship with her. Alex snorted coldly. âThis old hag knows nothing but villainy. This time, she
asked for it. On the other hand, I feel bad that you were slapped because of all this. Does it still hurt?â
Alex asked.
âNo, itâs fine. Iâll be fine after a while. Well then⦠Ms. Assex, Iâll get back to work. Have a good chat,â
Jenny quickly said.
âAlright! â replied Lady Dorothy before pulling Alex into the CEOâs office. She then locked the door and
pounced on Alex. Lady Dorothy initiated a kiss. âHoney, you saved me again,â she cooed, adding softly,
âTell me. What do you want as your reward?â Alex pondered for a moment. A playful smile then
appeared on his face. He recalled that Lady Dorothy had promised to do something the other day.
Hence, he whispered something into her ear. âAhh!â When Lady Dorothy heard what he said, she
immediately blushed. Her body shuddered uncontrollably as she
covered her face in embarrassment. âNo, no. Absolutely notâ¦â She then peeked at Alex through the
gaps in her fingers before looking around at the room.
âWhy donât we go
over there?â Alex looked at where she was pointing. It was a built-in bathroom in the CEOâs office.
Suddenly, Alex could feel himself breathing harder, and his heart was beating faster.
