Alex Rockefeller hugged his wife as if hugging a ball of flame. Without saying another word, he picked
Lady Dorothy Assex up. ***
âArgh!â After the Assex family had left, they quickly sent Madame Joanne to the hospital. While driving,
Benny Assex started going crazy, banging his hands against the steering wheel. Anderson and
Lady Emma Assex were so terrified they couldnât speak.
âBrother, what⦠What are you doing?â Anderson asked. Screech!!!
Benny suddenly stopped the car in the middle of the road and slapped Anderson across his face. âAll of
this
happened because of you and your daughter! You two losers! D*mn it! Resources spent on you two are
a
waste.
You bring nothing to the table and cause trouble all the time.â Anderson became enraged too. âBrother,
what does this have to do with Emma and me?â he protested. âItâs all because your daughter wants to
take over Lady Dorothyâs Dorothy-Alex Constructions, isnât it? If
that werenât the case, Dorothy-Assex Constructions wouldnât even exist. They would still be Assex
Construction City South Subsidiary Company, part of our Assex Construction conglomerate.
Assex Construction wouldnât have fallen from grace like it is now,â Benny spat. âUncle, isnât that a little
too funny? Youâre the one managing Assex Construction, and youâre the companyâs
CEO. What does it have to do with us?â cried Lady Emma. âWhich is why I said one of you is an idiot,
and the other is retarded. How could you possibly manage
Dorothy-Alex Constructions?
The company would definitely be finished within a month under your
leadership!â said Benny without holding back. âIf it werenât for you repeatedly messing with Lady
Dorothy
and Alex, bringing problems to Assex Construction, would we have lost the contract with Waylon
Realty?
Would we have lost the dealership from Thousand Leaves? Would we have failed to sign a contract
with
South Cali Structures?
The Assex family is going bankrupt!â Benny exclaimed. âWhat?â Anderson was shocked. âBrother, is
the Assex family going bankrupt? How could that be?â he asked. âItâs all thanks to you two idiots! You
destroyed Madame Claireâs villa, stole from her, and got yourself
locked up. To bail you out, the company had to lose all its liquefiable assets.
This time, weâve even taken a
loan worth 30 million dollars! Now, we canât even pay our employees. What do you think we should
do?â
asked Benny. While he spoke, Madame Joanne suddenly sat upright. âHuh? Mom, are you fine?â They
were all shocked. Madame Joanne looked around. âHas Granny Blackwood left? She didnât come after
us, did she?â
ââ¦â
âLook at the lot of you! I was just pretending to be unconscious. Otherwise, if Granny Blackwood really
did
poison me with a parasitic worm, Iâd be finished for sure,â Madame Joanne gushed. They all sighed in
relief. However, they had no idea that Granny Blackwoodâs breath did indeed contain poison. The only
thing was,
the parasitic disease would have to go through a process before it was activated.
Those afflicted would
instantly pass out, but they would regain consciousness for a while after that. Later⦠Things would end
in a
sorrowful state. Since Madame Joanne said she was only pretending, there was no longer the need to
go to the hospital. Hence,
they returned home right away.
However, on their way home, Benny received a call from his secretary. âMr. Assex, Citizen Bankâs
people are here, asking us to repay our debts right away. If we donât do so,
theyâre going to freeze our accounts and clear the loans by force.â
âWhat? How did this happen?â
âThey even said that youâve taken a high-interest loan, but thereâs a problem with your credit rating.â
âHow dare theyâ¦â Before Benny could say anything, the secretary continued. âAlso, Mr. Assex, when it
was time for the
company to pay our staff today, accountant Muller said the company doesnât have a single dime left.
Somehow, word got out, and now, all the employees are causing a scene.
Things are getting out of hand.â
Bennyâs head was throbbing. Quickly, he turned on the engine and headed to the company. Meanwhile,
something major had also happened to Alex Rockefeller.
He thought it would be a beautiful incident. Instead⦠The outcome was a terrible one!
Alex looked at his shirt that was covered in filth. âWhat should we do?â Lady Dorothy leaned against the
bathroom sink. Not saying a word, she shook her head slowly. âUghhâ¦â
