There was water in the pool since it hadnât been drained after the last use. Thump!
Claire Assex fell into the pool. âHelp! Help!â
âI⦠Ouch, thereâs a cramp in my legâ¦â Claire splashed around in the pool as she drank the pool water
in big mouthfuls. Brittany Rockefeller immediately became furious. âStop acting so miserable. Do you
think Iâm stupid? This
pool is so shallow.
You couldnât possibly drown even if you have a leg cramp!â Waltz Fleur nodded. âThatâs right. This
woman just did something Iâve never seen before, all just for money!
However, this is how she usually behaves anyway. Previously, she even forced my senior to get a
divorce so
that Dorothy Assex could get married to Spark Rockefeller, Alexâs cousin, the son of the culprit who
snatched
Rockefeller Group away!
Is this something a human would do?â
ââ¦â Brittany was dumbfounded. She had yet to hear about all that happened in the past!
Now that she had heard it, she was so angry that she could vomit blood. She then looked coldly at her
son. âWhy have you never told me about this? From now on, you must cut off all ties with Dorothy. I will
not
allow my son to be insulted like this,â Brittany said.
âUnderstood.â Alex Rockefeller nodded absent mindedly. Right then, Alex notices that Claire really was
sinking. âShe seems to have a real leg cramp,â he quickly said. Alex hurriedly took his phone and car
key out of his pockets before jumping into the pool. As soon as he grabbed Claire with his hand, she
latched on to Alex as if he was her lifeline. She wouldnât let
go no matter what. Meanwhile, Alexâs feet were touching the bottom of the pool, but half of his body
was above water. Thatâs
because this was only the shallow zone of the pool.
The water level was at most one meter high. âHey. Is your cramp fine now? You can let go of me!â
âYou wonât die.â But Claire was clinging onto Alex like a koala bear with a horrified look on her face.
This was awkward. Claire was only wearing a white t-shirt. Now that it was soaked, itâs almost as if she
wasnât wearing any
clothes. As such, not only did Alex feel awkward, but even Brittany, Waltz and Maya Howards had odd
expressions on their faces.
Claire only let go after Alex had carried her away from the pool. As soon as her feet landed on the
ground, she
reached out to hit Alex. Unfortunately, she missed. âGreat. Your entire family is trying to kill me, arenât
you? Brittany, you are ungrateful. Donât you know who
paid for you to stay in the hospital when you were in a coma? Me! Without me, youâd be dead long ago!
Would you even have the chance to show off here? Without me, your son would have been begging on
some
unknown street.
How dare you hit me? Alex, youâre a traitor. I was nice enough to come offer you a second
chance, but you didnât appreciate it. Iâm telling you, you wonât get another chance! Iâll find Dorothy a
better
family. Theyâll be a thousand times or ten thousand times better than you lotâ Claire yelled. Brittany felt
a burning sensation in her chest. She had found out everything that happened while she was in a
coma. Her son had to work like a horse in the Assex family but only earned ten thousand dollars in
salary.
The wedding gifts Brittany gave to the Assex family, on top of various other gifts, were already worth
more
than 30 million dollars. The total of 100,000 dollars was worth little in comparison. Brittany raised her
hand, about to slap Madame Claire. However, Alex knocked Claire out with a poke of his
finger before Brittany could do so
. Out of deference to Dorothy Assex, he couldnât allow things to go too far out of control. After all,
Dorothy
was his woman. âMom, this woman is being unruly here, so Iâll send her home!â Alex said. âWhy bother
sending her home? Just throw her out,â Brittany replied coldly.
âItâs not a good idea to leave her out there like thisâ¦â A huge problem would arise if someone took
Claire away and raped her. In the end, Alex drove Claire back
to the Assex familyâs villa in her car. Right then, Dorothy happened to be in the garden.
