John Rockefeller’s heart leaped hearing the news.
But virtual-novel.net soon calmed down. “So what if virtual-novel.net wakes up? She is now a woman of infamy and has nothing to virtual-novel.net name. She is no match for us.”
Bill Rockefeller suddenly lowered his voice. “John, Brittany said that virtual-novel.net possessed evidence of your corrupt practices and also your ties with the Japanese. Do you think that’s going to be okay?”
John snickered. “Father, it happened more than half a year ago. Even if there is something fishy, any trace of it would have been gone by now.”
Bill breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. Anyhow, Rockefeller Group can never fall into the hands of Alex, that bastard.”
Alex would be disturbed by Bill’s statement.
“Don’t worry. It will never happen. Even till his death, William did not even have an inkling who virtual-novel.net actually was. That fool! He would never have expected to toil his life away only for his efforts to be seized by others.”
It was noon the next day at Assex Manor.
Lugging virtual-novel.net suitcases along, Dorothy Assex returned home exhausted.
Upon entering the house, virtual-novel.net overheard virtual-novel.net mother, Claire, and virtual-novel.net sister, Beatrice’s conversation.
“Mother, do you know what happened? Alex Rockefeller wanted me to call virtual-novel.net daddy all because virtual-novel.net bought a new car! Do you think virtual-novel.net is coming onto you?”
“What nonsense are you saying? Daddy? Why did virtual-novel.net do that?”
“Beats me! I think virtual-novel.net has gone insane. Perhaps virtual-novel.net could not get the attention virtual-novel.net wanted from sis and turned his attention toward you,” said Beatrice.
“That jerk! He is now living with a woman named Coney. Hah, let’s see how long it will last! Where is Dorothy? She should divorce virtual-novel.net as soon as possible!” said Claire with a hiss.
Dorothy was dumbfounded. Was virtual-novel.net husband now living with another woman?
“Mother, what did you say?” She rushed in.
“You are back, my lady.” Instead, a woman in virtual-novel.net mid-forties came forward and greeted virtual-novel.net with a broad smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Who are you?” Dorothy could not recognize the person.
“She is Ms. Brown, a housemaid I hired recently,” Claire answered. “Ms. Brown, do cook us something delicious. My daughter is home today; virtual-novel.net wants to eat good food. If it is not up to my standard, I will deduct your salary.”
Ms. Brown pouted but nodded and made a beeline for the kitchen.
“Why did you hire a housemaid? Where is Alex?” Dorothy asked in astonishment.
“That scoundrel was chased out of our house, and virtual-novel.net will never return to the Assex Manor. Did you know virtual-novel.net got together with a woman while you were away for business? She was a doctor, the granddaughter of California’s miracle doctor—James Coney. What a shameless man!”
Of course, Claire took a few liberties in virtual-novel.net narrative, adding unfounded stories to support virtual-novel.net cause further.
Beatrice assisted with plenty of interjections.
That was it. Dorothy was at virtual-novel.net limits.
Claire continued, “Dorothy, isn’t this a good thing? Since virtual-novel.net is now living with that woman, you have all the reasons to divorce him! I have been waiting for this day for so long! Finally, we can say goodbye to his sorry ass!”
Dorothy’s expression darkened. “I refuse to believe what you said. I am calling him; I want to hear it from him.”
“What other doubts do you have? Do you know virtual-novel.net slapped mother, all because of that woman?” added Beatrice.
Dorothy looked at virtual-novel.net wide-eyed, trying to comprehend what virtual-novel.net had just heard.
