I really do. Master Alex, please spare me!”The sight was difficult for John Gates to bear, but he could not mutter a word.Alex glanced at Gaston and said, “Keep him alive, he could still be useful to us.”Upon hearing Alex’s words, gratitude was written all over John’s face. He quickly kicked Gaston and said, “Quickly thank Master Alex. Remember, he’ll be your master from now on!”Gaston hastily groveled and said, “Thank you!

He just barely avoided being drowned.When he heard Spark questioning him, he couldn't help but felt like cussing. However, he remembered Alex’s instructions and told Spark, “Don’t ask me any questions about this, I have no answer for you. I’ll be going overseas. You can handle the situation on your own.”Click!

They knew something bad was going to happen.Alex had a bad feeling as he saw Spark in the hall. It was almost four o'clock and was already a crowd in the banquet hall. Madame Joanne with rosy cheeks in a plain moon-white dress stood under the spotlight. She stretched out both arms and everyone in the hall went silent. “Today is the fifteenth anniversary of Assex Constructions. I would like to thank all of our business partners for your presence tonight.” Clap…. Clap… Clap… The crowd applauded. "According to our usual practice, today, the younger generation of the Assex family will be rewarded based on their performance. But this time, there’s a little twist!

“What? Did Lord Lex actually address him as his Master?” “Isn't Alex an outcast by the Rockefeller family? How can he be associated with Lord Lex who is worth a trillion dollars?”“Is Alex the real owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? If that is true, he might be the richest man in California or the richest man in America.”“Oh my God, that’s a piece of big news! This is so entertaining!” Everyone was astonished.

Alex was frozen. She was stunning and her beauty did not pale in comparison to Dorothy’s. But Dr. Cheryl's figure was more voluptuous. Alex felt like he was dreaming. He thought to himself, ‘Does she know that the necklace is actually genuine and is worth thirty million dollars?
