Alex Rockefeller suddenly laughed. âYou mentioned a royal bloodline. Which royal bloodline were you
referring to? Since the dawn of time until the golden era of America, I donât recall there ever was an
emperor
by the name of Stoermer,â he said. âDo you mean during the Dark Ages?
Wait a second. That canât be right. The Dark Ages emperor has
Charlemagne as his surname, not Stoermer. I happen to know an emperor by the name of Rockefeller
as
recorded in history. Hehe! Senior, this means that youâre truly a descendant of a royal bloodline, and
you are
of very noble statusâ¦
Your life is probably worth more than 100 million dollars!â Waltz Fleur said. Kazim Stoermer was so
enraged that he wanted to cough blood up. âHmph! Two uneducated fools! Itâs
impossible to reason with you both.
Thereâs no point saying anything further. Young man, just remember this. From now on, you shall have
nothing to do with my daughter, Zendaya. You donât deserve her,â he said. Alex laughed out loud. âIs
the Stoermer family from Michigan all that great? How did you know that I
consider the Stoermer family as mud on the ground?
Perhaps, you might one day kneel in front of me and
worship me!â Alex snapped. Kazim sneered several times. âYoung man, itâs good to be confident. But
arrogance might cost you your life!â
âForget it! I canât be bothered to waste my time talking to a narrow-minded person like you. That will be
all!â Kazim said. With that, he turned around and left.
Kazim had thought his daughter might have had a good eye for men. It turned out that Alex was just
another
egoistic kid. Compared to the other man from the Coleman family, he was way worse.
If it were not for Alex
saving Zendayaâs life three times, Kazim would have taught him a lesson and put Alex in his place.
Waltz picked up the check on the floor worth 300 million dollars, and she was about to tear it up.
However, Alex stopped her. âWhy would you turn down money?
Anyway, he came and gave it to us for free. We can use it to buy some rare herbs tomorrow. Iâll make
you another pot of chakra pills so you can speed up
the process of getting to Advanced-Mystic. As such, youâll have a higher chance of winning at South
Californiaâs major competition.â Waltz shrugged. âFine! But itâs getting late now. Why donât we go to bed
earlier?â Alex became speechless.
He wasnât in the mood at all. âDo you really think that my room is yours now? Sleep in your own room!â
Alex said. The next morning, Lady Dorothy Assex drove her BMW to Maple Villa. She had dark circles
under her eyes. She knocked on Alexâs door with a firm look in her eyes. âIâve made up my mind. We
are getting divorced
today.â
Alex looked at Lady Dorothy. After one full minute, he sighed and nodded gently. Of all the feelings
rummaging inside him, the most intense one was that of bitterness. âPack up and fetch your
documents. We leave right away,â Lady Dorothy urged. âThis early? Is the Civil Affairs Bureau even
open?â Alex frowned and asked.
âIt will be by the time we arrive. Hurry up, stop wasting time. We donât have a lot of it,â Lady Dorothy
said. Alex became speechless again.
Yesterday, she refused to get a divorce, even if it meant losing her life. Now, she was coaxing him to do
it. Could she have finally figured that in the end, love was not as important as a life?
On the road, Alex didnât say a single word. He just felt unusually irritated. Soon, the car stopped in front
of a huge hotelâs entrance. âGet out!â Lady Dorothy urged again. âArenât we going to the Civil Affairs
Bureau? Why are we here at a hotel?â Alex asked. âWeâve missed out on a ritual.
Follow me inside,â Lady Dorothy said with a stern face. Five minutes later, they entered a hotel room.
Lady Dorothy tossed her purse aside, removed her high heels, and undressed until she was fully
naked.
âAfter
eleven months of being married, you still owe me our first time together. Since weâre getting divorced
today, youâll make it up to me now!â
