Claire’s expression darkened. “He’s my son-in-law.”

“What?”

Eloise froze, staring at her in disbelief. She had never met Alex before, but she’s listened to Claire complain about him enough times to perceive him as a complete loser.

‘How could that loser be the same person as this dashing young man?’

Moreover, she had heard many rumours about Alex from others.

This made her more reluctant to believe this. She thought Claire had mistook Alex as someone else, so she apologized profusely. “Sorry, sorry. My friend just thought you were someone else.”

She tried dragging Claire back into the room.

However, Claire wouldn’t budge and pushed Eloise aside harshly.

Due to her strength, Eloise lost her balance and almost fell. If it weren’t for Val, she would’ve definitely stumbled over.

Eloise was enraged by her actions.

‘What is this damned woman doing? I’m just trying to help but she pushed me! Does she think she could afford to provoke this man? Lord Lex had to bow down to him! It’s

    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

    Claire fell on her behind out of shock.She was appalled after hearing Hailey’s words. All she could think of were the words ‘100 billion’, ‘richest woman in California’ and ‘richest woman in the world’.However, all these words were just mere dreams, vanishing in front of her eyes.She thumped her fist to her chest, regretting her actions greatly.Eloise, on the other hand, was shocked to her core. She couldn’t help but scold Claire inside her head.‘She used to be so smart back when we were classmates, yet now she just has the IQ of a rock.‘How could she not want such a good son-in-law? Is she trying to get God to become her son-in-law or something?’She was shocked and disappointed at the same time.‘If Alex was still Claire’s son-in-law, our friendship could have helped bring our business to newer heights, yet…’Just then, a gorgeous and alluring woman walked into the salon. She looked as if she was a beautiful woman who came out of an ancient painting.Her aura was inte

    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

    “Yep!”“That’s great! Charles would be delighted to hear this!”In just a few moments, they finished the tour.Although City Salon was luxurious, Waltz was not just any woman. Since she grew up in luxury, she lost interest fairly quickly. She asked Alex, “Brother, are you done with work here? If you are, let’s go. We just need to show up. More importantly, we need you to sign the contract to transfer shares.”Alex found out that Waltz had transferred Jerry and Fabio’s shares to him from Frank’s account.She didn’t do anything to Lex’s shares, mainly because Clay wasn’t back yet.They decided to wait until he’s back to discuss how it’ll be distributed.“Give me half an hour!”The four then went into the CEO’s office.Alex read through Sharpay’s proposal, which she had put a lot of effort in.Poor Sharpay had dolled up just to meet Alex. She had specifically picked out her clothes and bought them with a large sum of money. She originally thought that this was a chance for

    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

    Alex was at the meeting when he received the call.The meeting was similar to what Waltz had said, ijust a mere meet-and-greet.The shareholders, managers and CEOs of the subsidiary companies were present in a large meeting hall. Many had seen just how powerful Alex and Waltz were, so they showed absolute respect towards them. Moreover, some fighters had been slightly scornful of Lex since he knew no martial arts.Fighters would tend to admire and worship the strong.Since Lex had no power nor skill, he basically built this business empire with the help of his three godchildren.However, now that Waltz had become the CEO, everything felt much more different. Moreover, Waltz’s man was almost as powerful as God itself.Their power was enough to have everyone bow down for them.Just then, a director said, “Mr. Rockefeller, you’re the president of the SCBA now, right? Their organization is based in Michigan all this while, so wouldn’t that mean that you’d have to stay in Michigan

    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

    The woman who got out of the car was Brittany, who hadn’t been back for quite a while.After realizing who it was, Claire almost wanted to run away and make an escape.Brittany noticed her nervousness and smiled coldly as she approached Claire. “So, Ms. Bardot, why have you been waiting at my house?”Claire clenched her fists to muster up more courage. She smiled and said, “Oh, hello, you just came back, my dear in-law, I—”Brittany interrupted her. “Stop right there, we’re no longer in-laws, don’t call me that.”Claire smiled awkwardly. “Oh don’t say that. Once in-laws, always in-laws, right?”Brittany’s expression darkened. “Claire Bardot, what are you even saying? My son has gotten a divorce with your daughter, so how are we still in-laws? Our family doesn’t have the luck to be your in-laws! Just tell me what you’re here for. But Ill have you know that we don’t welcome you.”Claire insulted Brittany in all the ways she could in her mind.However, she continued to put up a sm

    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—! That’s right. I understand it. The three thousand great spells and the c

    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

    Autumn fell to the ground and was grabbed by Brittany.William..., on the other hand, was immediately sucked out when the suction force was restored."Husband!""Grandpa!"Brittany and Autumn wept as they watched William enter the grimstone and transform into flesh and blood."Dad—""Dad ......"This was also seen by Dorothy, Zendaya, and Alex.They were taken aback all at once.Alex roared.It had been so difficult for him to find his father and restore him to normalcy, and for all these years, he had been away, and he hadn't had time to honor his filial piety properly. 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. The dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.At this time.Earth.The node of destruction grew in size

    The Earth was in peril, and everyone's life was on the line.Grand Emperor Rowan made a bold move and unleashed his most powerful attack...The gates of the Six Eternities all opened, and ghosts cried out from within the gusts of gloomy wind.It blasted straight towards the altar, which was being controlled by the Ancient Divinity and others, as well as the countless sacrificed flesh and blood."The Six Eternities?""Good guy, this magical treasure has vanished for countless years, but it has actually appeared in this mole's body. Not bad, not bad. With the Six Eternities, we can control the Everlasting Door more easily.""Go, kill them, and snatch the Six Eternities," the Ancient Divinity laughed and said to the Bull Demon King.The Bull Demon King quickly led his disciples and sons to attack Grand Emperor Rowan and the others."Come and help!"

    However, the suction was disrupted.People who flew up fell back down.The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. 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. They vanished.Then, there were more living things.Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level. However, a large number of creatures were sucked into the grimstone and ground into flesh and blood.There was no shortage of powerful and mighty individuals among them.Even mortals could see the situation clearly with the naked eye.Agatha hovered in the air, and her expression solemn.This was an e

    Diffracted Universe.Earth.It was now midday, and the sun beat down brightly.A group of young men and women swam, played, and sunbathed on a golden beach, interacting with each other and enhancing each other's feelings.For example, one of the youth, Autumn, was pushed down onto the beach chair by a hot woman, who said, "Brother, the sun is so hot, I will give you sunscreen!"Then.As the words were spoken.The sun went completely dark.Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, only to discover that the sun that had been shining brightly all day had turned blood red. So much so that the light shining down was dark red like blood, and everything appeared to be bathed in blood light."What's the problem?""How did the sun become this?""Is it a solar eclipse?"However, everyone soon noticed that a massive grimstone had appeared next to the blood-colored sun.Alex would have been surprised if he had been present.This was due to his familiarity with the grimstone.He and Phoe
