Lady Emma chimed in, "Yes, she was the one who tore up the contract first! He's really trash. It was a golden opportunity, but he decided to be calm and indifferent about it."
Dorothy immediately angrily, "It's enough, if it wasn't for all of you meeting Spark and Bill, none of this would have happened. How can you blame my husband? He's the one trying to help the family."
Lady Emma sneered, "Are you not the same? You even approved Spark's marriage proposal"
Dorothy was angry and embarrassed. The Assex family members go one by one, all berating Alex and their misfortunes. Although the billion dollar contract of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate had been canceled, at least Lord Lex would not pursue them.
After Madame Joanne left, Madame Claire immediately pointed at Alex and said, "Are you as stupid as a rock? Lord Lex owes your father a favor and you used him for the Construction of Assex? Why don't you use it for us, because of your family?"
Mrs Claire was sad. The gift of Lord Lex was almost in their grasp, but it was all gone now.
Alex did not feel angry at all but felt comfortable. Alex thought, I'm rich, but I'm not going to tell you that I'm not going to give you a penny.
Dorothy said, "Mom, don't talk about this anymore. Alex could've brought us wealth, but we didn't appreciate it."
"Him?"
Madame Claire's expression turned sour, "If she kept the nine million dollar gift from Lord Lex, I wouldn't be this angry at her. Why not just marry Spark? At least he's a young director of the Rockefeller Group. Not like this useless piece of junk."
Dorothy's face also turned sour. "Mom, don't ever mention that disgusting beast again, or you'll never see me again. He set up such a devious scheme for me to enter, yet you still think about it? Am I really your Princess?"
"Alright, alright!" Madame Claire finally stopped talking about Spark, "I won't mention that person anymore.
About the Love in a Fallen City necklace, is that the real one?"
Alex shook his head. "That's real."
Madame Claire and her daughters jumped from their seats when they heard what Alex said.
Beatrice's eyes widened. “Do you really buy a necklace that costs thirty million dollars? How much money did you receive from Lord Lex? Madame Claire was also curious.
Alex shrugged his shoulders. “I don't have much money. That necklace is a gift from Lord Lex. The wedding ring I got was also free."
Madame Claire violently slapped her own thigh. "Geez, how could you hand over that thirty million dollar necklace? Are you stupid?"
Alex replies, "You're the one who threw it away."
Madame Claire remembered that it was she who threw the necklace to the ground and deeply regretted it!
Madame Claire's eyes sparkled. "Oh yeah, we have to get it back."
Alex shook his head. He was too embarrassed to ask. She just pretended to be Dr.'s girlfriend. Chery, even more embarrassed by the incident in the elevator. So, he decided to lie, "I went to ask for it, but he thought it was just a clone made of giass and gave it to a little girl."
"Did?" Dorothy's jaw hit the floor.
Madame Claire was desperate. "Oh my God, that's thirty million dollars worth of jewelry. Are you looking for that little girl?"
Alex replied, "I went to look for him. But it had been days since he had accepted it. The little girl was only five years old, she threw it away and it was impossible for us to find her."
Madame Claire goes on a rampage and can barely contain her desire to kill Alex. Dorothy also felt a slight pinch in her heart as the necklace cost thirty million dollars. However, he was not greedy like his mother.
Dorothy said, "Because it's gone, we can't do anything." Then, he grabbed Alex's hand and brought her upstairs.
Mrs Claire was very upset. "You're not allowed to go to the second floor with him."
Dorothy said, "it's just a little talk to her." Upon entering the room, Alex was a little surprised. This was the first time she had set foot in Dorothy's room since their wedding.
"Alex, don't tell my mom. You know how he centers on money, I don't want that necklace, I just want you. Forget it, don't talk about it anymore."
Dorothy suddenly turned serious, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow for an exhibition. I'll be gone for three or four days."
Alex frowned, "Can't you send someone else? You're the boss."
Dorothy looked at him furiously. "I'm just a branch manager of a subsidiary. I have to handle almost all business matters myself. As a man, don't you think you should help me?"
Alex replied, "Dorothy dear, you can be sure that I will definitely help you. Although the billion dollar deal with Thousand Miles Conglomerate has failed, I will pull the strings to give you two or even three billion dollars. contract."
Dorothy frowned slightly and looked at Alex. "Why do I still feel like you're just spewing an empty promise? You should be more grounded and not blinded by your confidence. The favor of Lord Lex is not given away" Dorothy said.
Alex thought, If you knew that I was the boss of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, you wouldn't have said that. But now is not the time to reveal it.
Dorothy added, "I hope you take the time to think about what you even want to do in the future. You are a grown man, yet you do nothing with your life. I know what you're going to say, that you have to take care of your mother. But you can always hire a nanny, right? Just find a job, or you can work for my company."
Alex is placed in a tough spot, as she doesn't want to leave her mother for a nanny. However, under Dorothy's gaze, he nodded. "Okay, I'll think about it."
