When Alex saw Dorothy appear in the room and faced Daya for the first time, he felt a huge headache
coming on. The extremely frosty look on Dorothyâs face made him feel especially uneasy.
He wasnât sure if he was thinking too much, but ever since the divorce, and although they two had
finally broken through, reaching the point where they joined flesh and spirit, where they should have
been a step closer than before, it seemed to have had the opposite effect, creating a wall between
them instead. They were supposed to be each otherâs closest person, but it felt like their souls were not
close at all.
For example, now, the frosty look on Dorothyâs face made it seem like she had an aura around her that
wouldnât stand to be questioned.
âCough. Dorothy, itâs actually like thisâ¦â
Just as Alex was about to speak, his phone rang.
He was quietly overjoyed when it happened, and thought to himself, âThis phone call came just at the
right time. No matter who it was, I can leave once I pick it up. I really have to show my thanks to this
person properly. This call is a real life-saver!â
When he looked at the caller, he found that it was Hailey.
âOh my, oh my. Sister Hailey, I really love you to death.â
He picked up the call immediately. âSister Hailey! calling me at this time⦠Anything urgent?â
But what came from the other side was the voice of an old man.
âRockefeller, your sister is in my hands. Whether she lives or dies depends on what you do in the next
moments.â
Woosh!
Alexâs brain felt like it was about to explode the moment he heard that. The embarrassed, frustrated
demeanor that he had displayed just a moment ago vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp aura that
was like a drawn blade.
A murderous look appeared on his face. âWho are you?â
âHahaha! Forgotten an old man so soon? When you were in the Stoermer residence in Michigan,
werenât you just so arrogant? Didnât you put on a good show, showing that you can summon thousands
of thunder gods? This old man will give you a chance. Iâm outside your house right now. Come and kill
me with your thunder. If you canât, then Iâll exterminate your entire family.â
âYou⦠Youâre Terrance Coleman?â
âThatâs right, itâs me. Iâll give you half an hour, if you donât reach within that time, your sister will lose her
life. If youâre still not here after forty minutes, then her daughter will also die.â
When Alex heard that, the anger welling in his chest became extremely intense. He gritted his teeth
and hissed, âYouâve even grabbed Zoey?!â
âHeh heh, you donât believe me? Come here, say something to your sister, then.â
Very soon, Alex could hear Haileyâs screams. It was from Terrance kicking her broken leg. How could
an ordinary woman like her endure such pain?
Then, Haileyâs cries came. âBrother, theyâve hurt Zoey. Zoey hit her head on the flower bed, and thereâs
a lot of blood. She wonât wake up⦠What do we do? Heâs really powerful, and he said heâs going to
destroy you. Y-Y-You better not come⦠Ahhh!â
There was a scream. Hailey had obviously been beaten up again.
Boom!
Almost instantly, the murderous aura leaked out from Alex.
When the aura burst out, the first thing to bear the brunt was the table next to him. It failed to withstand
the blow and even the dishes on it were thrown through the air.
It stunned everyone in the room.
âTerrance Coleman, you listen to me. If anything happens to them, I swear, I will uproot your entire
Coleman family, and not even a single piece of sh*t will be left behind.â
The call ended, and Daya nervously asked, âWas that the grand elder, Terrance Coleman? Has he
come looking for you?â
Alexâs eyes were as sharp as knives. âIâm leaving.â
Daya said, âIâll go with you, I can help.â
âNo need, you stay here.â
He turned to look at Dorothy, locking gazes with her for two seconds. Then, he immediately activated
his fast speed and was about to leave when Dorothy suddenly reached out to grab him.
âHuh⦠?â
âDonât push yourself too hard. Safety first.â
There are thousands of words in that beautiful eyes of hers as she looked at Alex.
Alex nodded, then rushed out of the restaurant in a blink of an eye.
Claire was momentarily surprised. She didnât know exactly what in the world just happened, but she
could guess that Alex had probably met with some trouble.
She gloated at his misfortune. âHeh heh, this guy must have stepped on somebodyâs shoes, why do
you care about him anyway? Heâs such an ungrateful ingrate, and if he dies, Iâm sure itâs because he
deserves it.â
Dorothy looked at her mother indifferently, âI suddenly remember that I have something to do at the
company, so Iâll be leaving first. You can tell Aunt that.â
âSigh, youâ¦â
However, Dorothy turned around and really left, just like that, seemingly very frustrated with her own
mother.
