Claireâs expression darkened. âHeâs my son-in-law.â
âWhat?â Eloise froze, staring at her in disbelief. She had never met Alex before, but sheâs listened to
Claire complain
about him enough times to perceive him as a complete loser. âHow could that loser be the same person
as this dashing young man?â Moreover, she had heard many rumours about Alex from others. This
made her more reluctant to believe this. She thought Claire had mistook Alex as someone else, so she
apologized profusely.
âSorry, sorry. My friend
just thought you were someone else.â She tried dragging Claire back into the room. However, Claire
wouldnât budge and pushed Eloise aside
harshly. Due to her strength, Eloise lost her balance and almost fell. If it werenât for Val, she wouldâve
definitely
stumbled over. Eloise was enraged by her actions. âWhat is this damned woman doing? Iâm just trying
to help but she pushed me! Does she think she could
afford to provoke this man?
Lord Lex had to bow down to him! Itâs not like he lost his power when Lord Lex
died!â âHe could have easily taken down both Assex Constructions and my husbandâs health and
nutrition center
too!â
Claire said, âIâm not mistaken, I can recognize this bastard even if he changed his appearance!â Alex
pressed his lips together, visibly annoyed. âSorry, Iâm not your son-in-law.â
With this, Eloise looked at Claire, thinking. âThatâs what I thought.â However, Alex continued. âIâve gotten
a divorce with your daughter. So Iâm just your ex-son-in-law.â
âHuh?â
âNo way?â Many of them exclaimed loudly, especially Eloise. She sounded as if she was shrieking like
a ghost. Val
covered her mouth as she stared at Claire with disbelief. âSo the blind and heartless woman was her!â
âShe didnât like how poor Mr. Rockefeller was and forced him to get a divorce?â
âThis woman really isnât what she seems. How could she have done something so stupid?â âYeah, donât
forget that, Aunt Claire. You were the one who forced Mr. Rockefeller to get a divorce with
Dorothy. Now that thatâs done, stop clinging to him!â Unexpectedly, Claire was infuriated by her words.
She slapped Sharpay across the face and yelled. âOf course
you wouldnât want me to cut ties with him!
So that you could use your skills in bed to try and seduce him and
take our money!â
Sharpayâs face swelled up after being slapped. However, she was younger than Claire and couldnât
slap her back in front of everyone. All she could do was
seek help from Alex through a pitiful look on her face.
Alex narrowed his eyes. He initially wanted to show her some respect, but he couldnât hold in his rage
anymore. âMs. Bardot, if youâre here for a facial treatment, Iâll welcome you warmly. But if youâre here to
cause a commotion, Iâm sorry but Iâll have to ask security to throw you out.â Claireâs eyes widened, filled
with anger. âHow dare you!â Hailey couldnât bear watching this and spoke up as well.
âHow can you still be so stubborn, woman? My
brother has gotten a divorce with your daughter, heâs cut ties with your family! So whatâs the point in
clinging
to him now? Do you regret it? Are you trying to get them to remarry? Iâll just give it to you straight.
Thereâs
no way youâd get your way!
Who would want a mother-in-law like you? Youâre just pure bad luck!â Claire fumed. âIâm talking to him,
so keep your nose out of this! Alex, Iâll just ask you one thing. Is this salon
yours?â Alex replied, âSo what if it is?â Claire seemed excited. âThatâs great! Youâve only gotten a
divorce with my daughter a few days ago, so that
means this salon is mutual property!
Itâs illegal that you didnât mention this when you two got a divorce!
Besides, you were the one who promised to leave the marriage without anything. So this salon is
Dorothyâs,
it has nothing to do with you now! Youâre no longer the CEO of this salon anymore! Get lost!â Smack!
Claire was immediately slapped harshly across the face.
