But the one who slapped her wasnât Alex, it was Hailey. She disliked this woman ever since sheâs
heard about
her. In fact, she would insult Claire behind her back multiple times. She really didnât expect her to be so
shameless as to bully Alex even after the divorce. âTo think this woman wants to take City Salon away
from him too. Well, she can dream on!â Hailey was fuming as she shouted at Claire. âDo you have no
shame?
What are you thinking? How dare you
try to take City Salon?â Alex stared at Claire coldly. If it werenât for Dorothyâs sake, he wouldâve slapped
her long ago. He really had not seen any woman this shameless. Claire yelled. âYou stupid b*tch, how
dare you slapâ¦â Smack!
Hailey slapped her once more. âIf you dare insult me any further, I will have the security guards beat
you up.
Donât believe me? Try me
then!â Claire opened her mouth, but no words came out. She still didnât dare to go against Hailey. Claire
was very biased, she feared the strong but bullied the weak.
Alex would endure her tantrums and insults for Dorothyâs sake, thatâs why her attitude continued to
worsen. She would cross the line over and over again, making his life a living hell. It was only back
when Joanne was still alive that she let the Assex family release their anger on her.
This time, Hailey, a strong headed CEO, didnât seem to be joking around. Since she said that she
would take
action, Claire was afraid. However, she couldnât bear knowing that she couldnât take City Salon. âThis
salon is like a goose that lays golden eggs!â âAlex, you have to be reasonable here! Dorothyâs been so
nice to you all this time! She was the one who fed
you, she let you live with her, she bought you clothes, she even gave you ten thousand dollars as
money every month!
How else would you have survived till this day? You canât just claim the mutual
property as your own, right? Even if youâre not leaving everything to her, you should at least give her
half of
the shares!â Claire said in calmly after taking a deep breath. Sharpayâs eyes widened, she was starting
to panic. If Claire were to take half of City Salonâs shares, she would definitely become her boss.
Sharpay would never
accept this. She would stop her if she could. âShe would definitely give me a hard time later on.â âAnd
my proposal would be all for naught! Iâve put in so much effort in the past few days! I was preparing to
become more successful! But all of that would be gone!â
âI would have to work my *ss off for my aunt if this happens!â
Hailey laughed. âWhat a great dream, but reality doesnât revolve around you. You can dream on if you
think
you can take half of City Salonâs shares. You want to know why? Thatâs because Alex still doesnât own
any
of the shares, I do.â
âWhat?â Claire was shocked. âNo way, he just said that he owned the salon! Everyone knows that heâs
the CEO of City Salon.â At the time, Alex was slightly confused as well.
âWhat is the meaning of this?â Hailey smiled. âFeel free to have someone investigate this if you donât
believe me! And of course heâs the
CEO, because I said so! All the shares of City Salon will now be transferred to him from now on! This
means
that this isnât mutual property, since heâs gotten a divorce. So City Salon has nothing to do with your
daughter!â Claireâs mouth was agape. âSo youâre saying that youâre just going to give City Salon to
him? Why?â Hailey replied, âWhy not? I want to and Iâd like to, so whatâs it to you anyway?â
Claire asked, âAre you his sugar mommy?â Smack!
Hailey slapped her again. Her voice was cold. âYou really do have mouth of a b*tch, huh? Are you
deaf? I just said that Alex is my
godbrother! His mother, Brittany, is my godmother! My godmother had single handedly built Lush
Cosmetics
and made it trend across the whole country! Iâm sure that it would trend across the whole world in time
too!
Our profits start from at least 100 million!
We would definitely have a working capital of 100 billion within a year!â
âToo bad you kicked your amazing son-in-law out with your very own hands. Claire Bardot, youâre the
one
who didnât know how to appreciate the ones around you. Your daughter could have become the richest
woman
in California. Heck, she could âve been the richest woman in the world! But your prejudice crushed her
chances of achieving that, you literally handed it to another woman.â Hailey then stared at her in
mockery. Thud.
