Shermaine Ford betrayed her.

Dorothy Assex was infuriated. After all, she guided Shermaine to where she was today. From giving her an opportunity right after high school to entrust her with managerial roles and repay her loans, she was an immense help throughout it all.

At the end of the day, Shermaine chose to side with Emma Assex and played a nasty trick on Dorothy, embarrassing herself in an important meeting.

A true traitor.

Emma, who was Anderson’s daughter and the rumored person to replace Dorothy as the new general manager, looked at Dorothy with a smirk on her face. “Lady Assex, I believe your secretary gave you the right information. I think you overslept. Alas, that abandoned son of Rockefeller brought us a massive contract in exchange for a favor, but you had to mess it up. I know you were upset and chose to make up for it in the bedroom. However, please do not get caught up in your own desire. You have a company to run.”

Dorothy’s expression was as frosty as the winds

    She then left.Not long after, an email titled “Dorothy Assex dismissed due to incapability, to be replaced by Emma Assex” was blasted out to every employee’s email address.Many felt the unjust treatment dished out to Dorothy. Especially the ones who worked alongside Dorothy when she started and knew just how much effort she put into the company. Yet…When Dorothy left with her personal belongings, nobody came to say goodbye.Everyone lowered their heads as if she did not exist.When she stepped out of the office, tears welled up in her eyes.Shermaine Ford was waiting at the exit.“I treated you as best as I could, why did you betray me?” demanded Dorothy in disbelief.Shermaine smiled coldly. “I chose to side with the better party. You cannot blame me for the fault lies on you, for being such a weak and insignificant member of the Assex family.”“I hope you will not regret your actions.” Dorothy nodded.“Of course not, good riddance!” Shermaine turned and walked away, sw

    “What? Do you mean she’s daughter of Charles Carter, the CEO of Waylon Realty?”Dorothy ran a construction materials business and 70% of the Assex family’s income came from Waylon Realty. Hence, there was no way that she did not know Charles.However, Charles never heard about her.At the moment, feeling shocked, she was bereft of speech and could only stare blankly at Zoey Carter.As Zoey looked back at Dorothy, she asked softly, “Are you Uncle Rockefeller’s wife? Haven’t you both already divorced?”Again, Dorothy was in daze. “How did she… Hi, Zoey, I’m Dorothy Assex. You can address me as Auntie Dorothy. By the way, we haven’t divorced.”Immediately, Zoey pursed her lips and let out a sigh. “Sigh, why didn’t you divorce? In that case, I can’t marry Uncle Rockefeller. It’s annoying!”Dorothy’s eyes widened with a complete shock.Alex quickly explained, “She’s still a kid, Dorothy. She knows nothing about divorce, so just don’t take it personally.”Zoey argued loudly, “What m

    Then, she saw Brittany standing there lively with a couple beside her. She saw the photo of the man before—it was Charles Carter. The lady with a beautiful look, needless to say, was Charles’ wife, Hailey Lawson.At the moment, Charles and Hailey were helping out Brittany in the kitchen.Witnessing such a scene, Dorothy’s jaw almost dropped.“Mom! You, you’ve recovered! That’s great!” Dorothy said.“Dorothy.” Brittany smiled. “Awww, that’s kind so kind of you bringing so many gifts, you don’t have to do that.”Brittany had a differing opinion about Dorothy as she heard that her son lived as though a slave in the Assex family and even got humiliated by his mother-in-law. How could she not be angry when that was her one and only son? However, Alex had been strongly speaking well of Dorothy in front of her. He claimed that those were just rumors and he was the incapable one who failed to live up to expectations. Brittany decided to let it go, especially after hearing that Dorothy sta

    Charles would definitely reject her if it was the time before he met Dorothy.However, now that Alex and Dorothy decided not to divorce after reconciliation, so Charles could only think of seeking Alex’s opinion.When Alex heard that, he was a little shocked as he did not expect that Charles would do that for him.However, he shook his head as soon as he heard the name “Emma Assex”. “Just a while ago, my wife has just got fired by Assex Constructions and the one who replaces her seems to be Emma Assex.”“What?”Charles was shocked. Never did he believe that Dorothy would be fired by Assex Constructions despite she was a member of the Assex family.Alex smiled awkwardly. “It’s my fault. Now Dorothy has to suffer for me because I offended Madame Joanne a few days ago.”At this moment, Alex’s phone rang and the name “Beatrice Assex” appeared on the screen.After pondering for a while, he decided to answer the call.However, Claire’s voice was heard. “Hey, Alex, is Dorothy with yo

    Charles nodded and waved at Emma and Shermaine. “I think Assex Constructions is not suitable for Waylon Realty, both of you can leave now.”Emma said, “Ain’t you gonna say something, Dorothy? Even though you’re no longer an employee of Assex Constructions, you’re still part of the Assexes. Help me, I’ll pay you ten million dollars if we get the deal.”Dorothy lowered her head and continued with her meal. She was too lazy to even look at her due to the worrying intelligence of that woman.Charles chided, “Get out of here! Do you think you can just get anything from Waylon Realty solely with your connection?” Both women were kicked out of the villa.The door banged shut behind them.Emma was extremely pissed off and her eyes were filled with malice.Shermaine had a gloomy yet regretful expression on her face. If Dorothy had Charles to back her up, she would not have to worry about losing her position as a general manager. However, Shermaine herself would certainly lose her job if

    After the dinner, Alex and Dorothy left Maple Villa as Alex had to help Brittany to get an over hundred-year-old ginseng.Along the journey, Dorothy behaved like a curious baby.“How do you know Charles?“How come you are staying at Maple Villa?“Both of you seem to be extraordinarily close!“And, what about this car…”Alex asked with a smile, “I honestly have no idea how to answer you as you threw so many questions to me in one go. In fact, it was because of Zoey. When Zoey was eating mountain hawthorn and it got stuck in her throat, I was just there to help and take it out.”Dorothy asked with a frown, “Is that it? And he gave you such a big villa in return?”Alex said, “Uhmm... we are just staying temporarily. He knew that we had no accommodation when I was kicked out by your mom, hence, so he asked us to move in.”There was nothing wrong with his words. After all, his name was not registered on the property deed.Dorothy said, “It doesn’t seem to be appropriate. Why don’t

    Alex smiled and said, “Be patient, I’ll definitely help you get 10% of the company shares and the position of general manager.”Dorothy said with her eyes sparkling, “I don’t need those things. I only need to get back the subsidiary company in City South.” “Sure!”Seeing Alex being endowed with intellect and confidence in handling matters, the gloominess that had lingered inside Dorothy for about half a year started to dissipate a little.She concluded that it was because Brittany finally woke up from her coma.Swiftly, they arrived at Assex Manor.However, they seemed to have judged wrongly.Anderson and Emma did not come to beg for a genuine apology. As Dorothy and Alex arrived at the entrance, they could hear Anderson’s arrogant voice. “Hey Claire, you should be aware that since Henry’s death, you and your daughters have been able to live a comfortable life in such a villa with a housekeeper, it’s all because of generosity by the Assexes.”“But, what has Dorothy done?

    As soon as Madame Joanne heard his mockery, she wished that she could hurry forward and kill Alex with her walking stick.However, it was a matter of life and death for the Assex family. Thus, she immediately got her eldest son, Benny to pay a Claire visit with her.They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutes later.As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as she complained, “Grandma, Dorothy and her trashy husband are simply rubbing salt in the wound! They are jealous of our family’s prosperity and deliberately want to destroy it! That bastard did not only hit me but dad too! He is a brute!”As Emma was just done complaining, Alex landed another slap on her beautiful face before Madame Joanne even managed to express any opinion.“Emma Assex, a woman like you has no right to insult me, Alex Rockefeller,” Alex said indifferently after slapping Emma, “My mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do so, but you’re not qualified at

    The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.However...Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon.Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,

    Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress.She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life...“Honey! Dorothy... They are dead! They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out... It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.Looking at him, Alex cried louder.Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.Grand Emperor Rowan was crying.Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved o

    Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—!

    The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina! Daya Stoermer! Yukina is Daya Stoermer!“I finally remembered it. I finally remembered it. It turns out that the three lifetimes you’ve been ta

    Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities.Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly.However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good.Even Saria failed to escape.She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha.Everyone was in great sorrow.Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.Grand Emperor Ro

In the end, he had actually gone like that."I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!""Boom, boom—" Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him.

It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel.
