After speaking, Dorothy went upstairs to get change while texting Alex. âBabe, I miss you!â Alex replied
immediately. âWhere do you miss me?â Dorothy was putting on lipstick while she replied with a smile.
âThere!â Alex replied with a tongue-licking emoji. âIâll meet you outside your housing area in half an
hour.â When Dorothy was done dressing up seductively and leaving the house with a small bag,
Beatrice stared at her
back as she talked to Claire, âMom, donât you think Sis is a bit odd?
Why would she dress up so beautifully
at this hour? Is she really out to talk about business?â Claire only hummed twice, her mind was not on
this matter at all. After a while, she suddenly looked at Beatrice and said, âBeatrice, do you think that
Alex could defeat
Rockefeller Group and take it back?â
Beatrice was dumbfounded. âWhy do you suddenly ask about this?â Claire said, âThink about it, even
the shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate had to bow down to that
ungrateful rascal. What qualification does he have? Donât you find it odd? It couldnât be because of
Lush
Cosmetics that was opened by his mother, right?⦠Also, the boss of Thousand Miles actually came
personally and apologized to us last time.
He even gave you many presents, how is that normal? Thinking
about it now, something is really wrong. Even with the help of your university classmate from the
Yowells, she couldnât possibly make Lord Lex speak to Alex humbly, right?â
Beatrice thought about it and her eyes were widened as she said, âDo you think Alex has been playing
dumb
to take advantages of others all this while?
In fact, heâs actually an heir of the royalties?â
âWhat are you talking about? What royalties?â
âMom, you donât understand it! I saw an entirely new world when I went to the Eastward Island. There
are
really martial artists in this world. They could break metals with a punch and even reach out their hands
to
summon lightning!
Furthermore, the royalties truly exist.â She thought of Mask when she spoke about this. Her face was
filled with admiration and fascination. Of course, Claire did not believe her. âI think youâre just addicted
to your martial arts novels. If they could
summon lightning with their bare hands, do you believe that I know Buddha Palm Technique and I
could slap
sh*t out of you with just a palm strike? Iâll give you a mission. Go and find out any hidden information
behind
Alex and to what extent the business of Lush
Cosmetics has reached.â
âSure. l just happen to have an omniscient classmate about California. Iâll just call him and ask!â While
both the mother and daughter were having their axes to grind with their plans, Alex picked up Dorothy
and went to Maple Villa. Once they entered the villa, the two people were excited to get together. Bags
were thrown to the side, shoes were flung to the corner of the wall and their clothes were all over the
place.
The temperature in the room was rising rapidly. After all, they were energetic young people. They
couldnât forget the taste once they had tried it and they wanted to try it again. Furthermore, short
partings made the reunion even sweeter than a honeymoon. How could they withstand the
temptation?
Soon after, everywhere in that villa had become a scene for them. Two hours later, Dorothy lay on
Alexâs chest lazily. She closed her eyes as she listened to his heartbeat. After
a while, she suddenly said, âI heard that Zendaya is engaged and her fiance is Colemanâs young
master of
Missouri. You should know about that, right?â Alexâs heart instantly skipped a beat. He thought,âWhy is
she talking about this?â He immediately sounded her out by asking, âI think I heard a bit of rumors, but
Iâm not sure about the
details.â
Dorothy smirked. âI thought you were planning to snatch the bride!â Alex was shocked and a trace of
panic flashed through his eyes. He hurriedly covered up for himself. âHowâs
that even possible? I canât afford to mess with the Colemans of Missouri nor the Stoerrners of
Michigan!â
âDoes that mean that you would go and snatch the bride if you could afford to mess with them?
