Claire coldly snorted and threw a nasty glance at Alex. “So what? It was just a one-time favor. Furthermore, I suspect that Charles Carter of Waylon Realty signed the contract only because virtual-novel.net was attracted to your beauty. Then, you wanted to give virtual-novel.net the credit so that I’ll change my attitude toward him, am I right?”
“Oh my god!”
Dorothy was bereft of speech. Realizing that virtual-novel.net could no longer communicate with Claire, virtual-novel.net tugged at Alex’s hand and said, “Go to my room, now.”
“Stop! What qualification does virtual-novel.net even have to enter your room?” yelled Claire.
“Because virtual-novel.net is my legally-wedded husband.”
“No, I won’t allow it. Only one person can ever step foot in your room, that is Felix Shepherd of Pegasus International. Now, I only recognize virtual-novel.net as my son-in-law.”
“Haha,” Alex laughed with an indifferent expression while looking at Claire calmly.
He thought virtual-novel.net would change virtual-novel.net attitude a bit after all virtual-novel.net had done for the Assex family. Yet, virtual-novel.net arrogant countenance and those insults that virtual-novel.net just threw were even worse… as if virtual-novel.net was showing virtual-novel.net true colors with a showdown! As virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net would never accept virtual-novel.net no matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried or awed virtual-novel.net with accomplishments.
Then, why should virtual-novel.net put in the effort to win virtual-novel.net approval?
After hearing virtual-novel.net words, Dorothy’s face turned pale as rage welled up inside her.
How could a mother utter such a word? How could virtual-novel.net face virtual-novel.net husband in the future?
“Fine!” She held Alex’s hand tightly. “I’m not going back to my room, okay? From now on, I’ll be moving out and I’ll be sleeping with Alex tonight, on the same bed, in the same room, and do the things we should have done ten months ago!”
Dorothy was a woman with dogged determination as well. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have stabbed virtual-novel.net chest with a knife on that wedding day.
“You… How dare you?!”
“Why won’t I?”
At that moment, a car stopped right in front of the manor’s entrance.
A young, well-dressed gentleman came out of the car—he was Felix, the young director of Pegasus International.
As virtual-novel.net saw Felix, virtual-novel.net rushed out barefoot to welcome him, as if virtual-novel.net just saw virtual-novel.net dear lover. Earlier virtual-novel.net face was full of rage, virtual-novel.net immediately donned a gentle and warm-hearted expression and said, “Oh my, it is you, Mr. Shepherd! What brings you here? I know it has been only a few days but Dorothy missed you a lot, and virtual-novel.net kept talking in my ear about you!”
Dorothy’s expression darkened as virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net mother’s statement.
Beatrice, on the other hand, came out leaping as virtual-novel.net heard voices from outside. “Look who it is, my beloved brother-in-law! I kept calling you, why didn’t you pick up my call? I thought something had happened to you. Come in, come in! I’ll brew tea for you.”
Alex looked at Felix, who was coming over, with an apathetic expression.
Never did virtual-novel.net expect that Felix, after what had transpired, would dare come and pester his wife.
Did virtual-novel.net really not fear death?
However, virtual-novel.net felt strange as virtual-novel.net did not understand why Felix had a sprig on his back.
Claire asked, “Mr. Shepherd, why do you have a sprig on your back? Hurry, let me get it off. It’s so dirty.”
Felix sidestepped Claire and scurried toward Alex instead. He kneeled on the ground with a thud and said, “Rock… Mr. Rockefeller, I came to offer my sincerest apologies!”
“What?!” Claire covered virtual-novel.net mouth in bewilderment, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
