Alex was indeed walking along the hall outside the room.However, he wasn’t alone—there were two women next to him.One was Sharpay whereas the other was Hailey.Hailey found out that he was still in California. She decided to call him up to treat him to lunch, so they agreed to meet up at the salon. Hailey was smiling. “Brother, the scar removing cream that you invented is way too effective! I’ll bet that this product would be much more successful than the previous two. I just found some good customers who had scars to try it out and it’s already become quite a sensation online! I’ve received hundreds of texts from people trying to get their hands on that product!”Alex already knew that the development of the scar removing cream was a success since he last visited. That was why he decided to send some to City Salon.But, he never expected it to be this popular.Surprised, he said, “I thought the scar removing cream wouldn’t have that wide of a market.”Hailey shook her head.

But the one who slapped her wasn’t Alex, it was Hailey.She disliked this woman ever since she’s heard about her. In fact, she would insult Claire behind her back multiple times. She really didn’t expect her to be so shameless as to bully Alex even after the divorce. ‘To think this woman wants to take City Salon away from him too. Well, she can dream on!’Hailey was fuming as she shouted at Claire. “Do you have no shame? What are you thinking? How dare you try to take City Salon?”Alex stared at Claire coldly.If it weren't for Doorthy’s sake, he would’ve slapped her long ago.He really had not seen any woman this shameless.Claire yelled. “You stupid b*tch, how dare you slap—”Smack!Hailey slapped her once more.“If you dare insult me any further, I will have the security guards beat you up. Don’t believe me? Try me then.”Claire opened her mouth, but no words came out. She still didn’t dare to go against Hailey.Claire was very biased: she feared the strong but bullie

Thud.Claire fell back to the ground again. This time, it wasn’t out of shock nor disappointment, it was out of fear.Money had blinded her thoughts a while ago. However, with Waltz’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 wouldn’t even have thought of trying to take any of Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s shares.Even if she could take it, she wouldn’t be able to live to spend it.She was so scared that her whole body was shivering. She couldn’t even stand up and apologize after imagining the terrifying consequences of her actions.However, she couldn’t understand how Alex became the biggest shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.‘Was William the founder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?’No matter what she was thinking

Their mother’s words shocked them.Beatrice yelled. “Mom, what happened to you? Have you taken your meds?”The person who didn’t want the two to get back together the most was Beatrice.She knew that Alex was Mask, the man who had stolen her heart. She even dreamed about doing the deed with him in a forest clearing last night.When she woke up, she felt quite wet down there.Since Alex and Dorothy had gotten a divorce, she figured that it wouldn’t be a problem if she were to date him now. Moreover, she believed that they haven’t had sex during their marriage, so Dorothy wouldn’t be able to bash her for doing so.‘Yet Mom here wants them to get back together!‘Wouldn’t that mean I’d have no chance?’Claire scolded her. “You’re the one who hasn’t taken your meds! Do you think I’ve gone mad?”Beatrice said, “Why would you want them to remarry if you haven’t? You were the one who put a knife to your neck, forcing them to get a divorce! It’s not even been a few days and you’re regr

When Claire was on her way to Maple Villa, she was insanely confident in herself.She had analyzed Alex and Dorothy’s relationship thoroughly.From when they started dating in university until he came to live with them, she had remembered every single detail. This woman was extremely bigoted towards money, so she was able to recall all her memories just for money itself.She could remember just how Alex took care of Dorothy when she was sick.She even remembered how Alex massaged Dorothy’s feet when she felt tired.His expression filled with love was definitely not just a mere act.Back then, she saw Alex as just a mere loser for being willing to do such things for his woman. It’s like he didn’t have a man’s pride, as if he was willing to slave away for her.However, her attitude was much different this time—she figured that this could be her biggest trump card.‘There’s just no way that Alex could ever move on from my daughter.’With this, she came to a conclusion that Alex d
