Adrianna kept slapping herself as virtual-novel.net apologized.
Felix huffed coldly. “You shouldn’t apologize to me, but to Mr. Rockefeller. I think I overheard you just said you would lick his shoe if virtual-novel.net were to have two million dollars, right?”
‘What?’
Adrianna was shocked. Her mouth was agape, yet no words could come out. She could kneel before Felix without hesitation because of his title as the young heir of Pegasus International. In virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net was a powerful figure who could dictate virtual-novel.net family’s fate with just one decision.
However, Alex was just a mere loser in virtual-novel.net eyes, who should be crushed under virtual-novel.net feet. How could virtual-novel.net bring herself to such humiliation by licking his shoe in exchange?
She just couldn’t accept this!
Just like anybody else, one could accept an irrelevant person who acted all high and mighty toward them. Yet they could never accept a relative whom they deemed trash and shunned away for the longest time, to suddenly become a being that many fell over each other to flatter.
Just then, everyone turned to look at Adrianna as they waited for virtual-novel.net decision.
Taylor pushed away Adrianna. “You said so yourself, so you have to keep this promise. Lick it!”
Adrianna put herself in a difficult position as tears started welling up in virtual-novel.net eyes. She stared at Alex with frustration and hatred. After a brief moment, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head. “Alright, I’ll…”
Just then, Alex interrupted virtual-novel.net sentence and said, “Get up. You’re still Dorothy’s aunt and also my mother-in-law’s sister no matter what.”
Felix froze. Only then did virtual-novel.net realize this woman was actually Dorothy‘s aunt. He was worried that virtual-novel.net might have stirred up trouble, hence virtual-novel.net hurriedly bid farewell to Alex. He had achieved his goal anyway.
After this incident, Adrianna and virtual-novel.net family were embarrassed and dared not stay any longer. After Felix rushed off, they headed back into their car gloomily as well.
As they drove off, Alex could sense the hateful gazes coming from Adrianna and Sharpay.
However, why would Alex care about what this family thought of him?
They were just mere nobodies to virtual-novel.net after all.
“Alex Rockefeller, the twenty million dollars are mine!”
After everyone had left, Claire immediately rushed toward Alex and tried to snatch the bank card from his pockets.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t touch me like that!” Alex shouted as virtual-novel.net pushed Claire away.
Dorothy spoke up, “Mom, what are you doing? That’s Alex’s money! How could you snatch it from him?”
Claire grabbed Alex as virtual-novel.net was unwilling to let virtual-novel.net go. “That was originally my money! It’s just that I accidentally made a crease on the check so I couldn’t cash it out! Why else would Felix come personally and hand us the money! It’s mine! It’s my money! Alex Rockefeller, I’m warning you. If you don’t give me the money, I won’t let you step foot into our home from now on!”
Dorothy was furious as virtual-novel.net said, “Mom, how could you be like this? When Alex and I got married, you used the twenty million dollars that you had received from my mother-in-law to buy futures, yet you lost all of them! I didn’t even tell you off after knowing that! How could you ask for another twenty million dollars now? Alex, if you dare to give the money to her, I won’t bear your children!”
“No, I definitely won’t give virtual-novel.net the money! Our children are more important!”
Claire angrily stomped virtual-novel.net feet as virtual-novel.net chided that virtual-novel.net raised Dorothy for nothing and virtual-novel.net rather sided with an outsider instead of virtual-novel.net own mother.
Just then, Beatrice received a call.
“What? You got us tickets to Daya’s concert? That’s amazing! Yay!”
She jumped in excitement. Her 1.2 meter long legs looked beautiful as virtual-novel.net danced joyously in the air.
Alex frowned after hearing virtual-novel.net words. “You’re going to Daya’s concert?”
Beatrice pouted. “Yeah, what about it? Has it got anything to do with you? You don’t even show filial respect to my mom after getting such a large amount of money! Hmph!”
Recalling Anna’s words, virtual-novel.net knew that Daya might be in danger during the concert due to assassins.
He tried convincing Beatrice, “You better not go to Daya’s concert.”
Beatrice huffed. “Tsk, you’re quite the control freak If you have the capabilities, control yourself for a change! Twenty million dollars wouldn’t be enough to defeat Rockefeller Group. If you couldn’t do it by then, you will drag down our family and turn us into a laughing stock too!”
