Thud. Claire fell back to the ground again. This time, it wasnât out of shock nor disappointment, it was
out of fear. Money had blinded her thoughts a while ago. However, with Waltzâ s cruel words, she was
able to snap back
to reality. She finally realized that this woman in front of her was the CEO of Thousand Miles
Conglomerate. This
woman could easily have someone drown their whole family as long as she said so.
Claire knew that her greed had drowned her senses, otherwise she wouldnât even have thought of
trying to take
any of Thousand Miles Conglomerateâs shares. Even if she could take it, she wouldnât be able to live to
spend
it. She was so scared that her whole body was shivering. She couldnât even stand up and apologize
after
imagining the terrifying consequences of her actions. However, she couldnât understand how Alex
became the biggest shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
âWas William the founder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?â No matter What she was thinking,
everyone couldnât help but despise and feel disgusted by her, including
Eloise. Hailey gestured to someone and a security guard rushed over immediately. Hailey pointed to
Claire, who seemed uncivilised. âThis woman is Claire Bardot, remember what she looks like.
From now on, she is blacklisted from both City Salon and Belle Blossom. I prohibit her from coming
anywhere near both salons. Throw her out now!â
âYes, Miss!â Security dragged Claire to the door. Claire yelled. âAlex! Rockefeller! Iâm still your ex-
mother-in-law! How dare you treat me like this? Do you
think Dorothy would let this slide?â
Alex was put in a difficult position. He was worried that this woman would complain to Dorothy about
this, telling false truths about him. Narrowing his eyes, he turned to the guard. âDonât hurt her.â Waltz
glared at him and whispered into his ear. âYouâre too soft. If I had a say in this, I wouldâve broken both
of her legs.â Alex sighed. He thought, âI wonder how Waltz would react if she knew that Iâm still in a
relationship with Dorothy. She
would probably be very upset.â ***
After Claire left, Waltz wanted to take a tour within City Salon since this was the first time sheâs been
here. Alex asked, âArenât you going to the meeting? Have you changed your mind?â Waltz didnât seem
to care. âItâs just like a tea party anyway, so what if Iâm a little late? What can they do?
Besides, Thousand Miles Conglomerate is way too big, I canât handle it on my own. Youâve promised
that
youâd help.
Secretaries do everything, so youâll be my secretary from now on.â Hailey, who was following them,
couldnât help but let out a chuckle.
Sharpay was following them as well, but. she was visibly upset. Still, she admired Alex even more at
this
point. âThe CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate wanted to rely on and sleep with you. You really are
an amazing, heroic person. Youâre the drug of all women, itâs only reasonable that Iâve fallen deeply in
love with you!â Alex, however, didnât even take a glance at her. Just like Dorothy said, he wasnât
interested in women like
Sharpay.
She should know that sheâs been with way too many men at this point
She might think that her love life was better than Alexâs, since he was now a divorced man. Alex shook
his head as he stared at Waltz. âI canât be your secretary, I donât have the energy to handle
Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I donât even want to handle the SCBA. Letâs just find a spokesperson
for it. And you should go hire some reliable secretaries for yourself. Wouldnât that solve everything
then?â
Upon hearing this, Hailey interrupted out of shock. âBrother, whatâs with the SCBA? Iâve heard that
Hydra
Group of Michigan had provoked the Stoermers, causing them to be crushed in one night. I heard the
president
of the SCBA died too!â
âWell, letâs just say he asked for it.
He was the one who tried to steal something from the Stoermers, which
was the cause of his death.â
Just then, he remembered the Sky Tower. Since it was related to his fatherâs whereabouts, he had to
take it
seriously. However, he decided not to reveal too many details to Hailey and Sharpay. It was necessary
for him
to be cautious.
He turned to Hailey and said, âHailey, remember the thing Iâve mentioned to you and Charles? The Sky
Tower project of Michigan has been taken over by Thousand Miles Conglomerate. You can inform
Charles
about this and follow me to Michigan, weâll see how this project would be carried out.â
Hailey was shocked. âYouâve really won it?â
