Chapter 201

When they arrived at the hospital for a check up, the female doctor recognized the young man.She said in a stern and concerned tone, “Luke, your tumor can’t wait any longer. It’s growing in a precarious spot. There’s still a chance that you could be cured. However, if you stall any more time, the tumor would grow. Then that would be a bigger problem, you know that, right?”The young man was Luke Hiddleston. “Dr. Patricia, quick! I’d like to have a check up! Can you check if my tumor is still there?”The doctor froze. “If it's still there? Why would it disappear for no reason?”One of the guys pointed at Alex, smiling. “Doctor, you just don’t know. This man is a legendary doctor, he can cure any sickness. Even the California miracle doctor refers to him as his master. This legendary doctor poked his head and the tumor went poof! Gone!”His tone and expression was sarcastic, as if he was telling the world’s biggest joke.He wanted to see Alex humiliated.As expected, Dr. Patricia

The door opened and Alex walked into the villa on his own.Unexpectedly, the living room was completely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his usual room. There was a bathroom attached.He flung the bathroom door open and froze.There was someone inside of the bathroom—Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad on her underwear. Their eyes met.Beatrice was surprised too.After freezing in place for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. “Rockefeller, you jerk! I’ll kill you!”Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. “Hey, I didn't mean to! I didn’t see anything.”Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that Claire had come home.Hearing Beatrice’s screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily, “Hey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Don’t you dare run

Anderson rushed up to the client and pushed a worker—who was moving boxes—aside with full force.The worker lost balance and fell to the ground, along with the materials in the box. The box almost crushed his feet too.“What the f—” The worker was enraged and was about to yell at them. However, looked up and realized that it was the CEO of Assex Constructions, Anderson Assex, who pushed him. Behind Anderson was Joanne and six guards in uniforms.He immediately kept his mouth shut and swallowed his anger.After multiple slaps from Alex, Anderson’s face was swollen. Even now, his teeth were still hurting from the impact. His anger had welled up in his chest and he couldn’t wait to release all of it at the subsidiary company.He grabbed the worker by his collar and said angrily, “What? Are you trying to curse at me? Look at yourself. Do you want to get fired?”The young worker didn’t dare to fight back. “No, no! I didn’t curse!”Dorothy had given him a higher wage, so he really did

Dorothy didn’t know what to say. “Grandma, I…”The old lady continued. “And who said Anderson doesn’t have the right to give orders? What are these materials anyway? Aren’t they the new materials from Thousand Leaves? We had forfeited your company’s right to sell them, yet you’re still trying to. This is illegal, do you want to end up in jail?”Emma smiled smugly. “That’s right, Dorothy. I must say, you have quite the balls. You dare sell the new materials from Thousand Leaves without a permit. This is literally smuggling. I’ve contacted Mr. Roberts from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. He’ll be here at any moment to inspect your company.”“What?” Dorothy was scared and angry.They were family, yet Emma went overboard. She wanted to ruin her life!“Grandma, did you approve of this too?” Dorothy turned to the old lady.Joanne’s expression was cold. “Dorothy, Grandma had already given you a chance yesterday, but you didn’t listen to my advice. I’m truly disappointed. However, b

Dorothy initially wanted to believe them. They were family and her father was Grandma’s biological son after all.However, as she watched the business cars drive in, her beliefs and hopes were crushed in an instant.‘Police cars might show up next!‘Heh, what irony.’Mr. Roberts’ full name was Marshall Roberts. He greeted Joanne with a smile as soon as he got out of the car. The Assexes weren’t the most powerful family in California, but they were still fairly well known.Marshall signalled his underlings with a wave. His underlings checked the materials in the storage and reported back to him. “All the materials are indeed from Thousand Leaves.”Marshall nodded and turned to Dorothy. “Ms. Assex, I’ve received a report that your company is selling materials from the famous Thousand Leaves of California. However, this requires a permit from Thousand Leaves, or the regional distributing company, for it to be sold in the market. Please show us the permit for your company.Ander

“That’s right. This document is real. Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally signed it and passed it to me,” Alex Rockefeller said.Joanne spat in Alex’s face.“Who do you think you are? You’re just a useless shut-in. Why would Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally sign and send a document to you? That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard,” Joanne said.“Alright. We’ll eventually find out if he’s telling the truth or not. The police will be involved when the time comes. For now, we must temporarily shut Assex City South Subsidiary Company down. My apologies, Ms. Assex,” Marshall Roberts said.However, Dorothy Assex’s new secretary came running in. “Ms. Assex, Mr. Trent from Thousand Leaves is here,” she said.Dorothy was stunned. Emma Assex, on the other hand, started laughing loudly.“Mr. Trent must have found out that you forged the authorization letter and came to demand an apology. Dorothy, are you still in denial?”Dorothy was actually feeling very nervous, but Alex h

‘What’s going on here?‘Did Jack Trent actually sign a contract with this b*tch, Lady Dorothy Assex? Why? How could this happen?‘What did Lady Dorothy do to Jack? Could she have slept with him last night?’All these thoughts running through Anderson Assex’s mind made him feel as if he would soon have an emotional breakdown. When he looked at Lady Dorothy Assex, his eyes were filled with hatred. He felt that the only way Lady Dorothy could have convinced Jack to do what he did was because she slept with him. Otherwise, how could she have accomplished that?It couldn’t be anything else apart from her good looks and her willingness to take off her clothes.Madame Joanne and Lady Emma Assex both sensed something major was about to happen, and their facial expressions changed drastically.“Mr. Trent, here’s what happened. From what I know, Thousand Leaves only has one store in every main region. Our Assex Construction is the only primary distributor in California. The rest of the sec

Jack Trent was in his early thirties.He wasn’t considered old at all.When Emma Assex thought of this, she immediately felt jealous. She wished she could kick Dorothy out of the way and throw herself into Jack’s arms.But little did they know, Jack was only doing all of this to please Alex Rockefeller.Yesterday, Jack went to the hospital for a check-up and found out there indeed was something wrong with his kidney. Apart from traces of kidney stones being removed, the doctor discovered a slight infection in the area. That proved Jack’s kidney stone problem was quite serious. It had gotten to the point where hematuria was a concern. However, since his kidney stones had been thoroughly removed, the aftermaths were much easier to deal with.Jack no longer had reason to doubt Alex’s medical skills.“Mr. Rockefeller, can I have a moment with you?” Jack smiled as he asked Alex.Alex nodded.Alex and Jack walked slightly further away as members of the Assex family watched them with

“Why would you want to treat Cheryl Coney to a meal? That won’t be necessary!” Alex Rockefeller quickly rejected Dorothy Assex.This was the biggest joke he had ever heard. If these women were to meet, they might start fighting with each other. And Alex wouldn’t be right no matter who he sided with.Dorothy looked at Alex seriously. “It is very much necessary. She has helped our company tremendously. If I don’t express my gratitude, she might talk behind my back again. Call her. Do it right now,” Dorothy said.“Dorothy, she really didn’t help. We don’t have to do this,” Alex said and shook his head. In fact, he even wanted to use his ultimate skill of holding Dorothy and kissing her.However, Dorothy didn’t let him have his way. “Are you going to call her or not? If you don’t even have the courage to call her, then there’s definitely something going on between the two of you. Is that it?” She asked.“No, absolutely not,” Alex said.“In that case, call her and put the call on loud

Cheryl Coney exclaimed and seemed to be slightly more awake. “What do you mean sleep with me? Of course… Oh, I was talking about holding meetings in the hospital. There was an exceptional number of patients last night. I had to stay up all night. Who slept with you? Your wife has problems and won’t sleep with you, but she still gets defensive about other women being near you? I’m hanging up,” Cheryl said.Alex Rockefeller let out a long sigh.“Dorothy, did you hear that? She wasn’t referring to sex. She was talking about meetings in the hospital. You’ve wrongly incriminated me,” he said.However, Dorothy Assex pushed him away. “Do you think I would believe that? If you didn’t see her last night, why did Jack Trent come over? Did he receive a message in his sleep? Of course, she would help you cover things up since I’m around. Get lost. I don’t want to see you,” she said determinedly with a cold expression on her face.Seeing her like this, Alex knew she was just upset. There was no
