Chapter 5
Alex returns to the Assex family villa as if he is an undead. Although it was called a villa, it was just a mediocre little house. After demolishing the old family home, a three-story building was built from the ground up. It was far from the real villa.
Alex looks up and sees the lights in Dorothy's room light up. "Is Dorothy home? Alex wondered to himself.
"After all, he's not with Spark?"
At that moment of consciousness, it was as if a huge burden was lifted from his chest. She saw hope and realized Madame Claire's words were unbelievable. He's trickster. He likes to make things up just to fulfill the fantasy in his head Alex rushes through the entrance to the villa.
He saw Madame Claire in the living room, video calling someone while applying nail polish on her toes with her feet raised upwards. He hummed happily. Alex feels overwhelmed, knowing that Madame Claire is thrilled that her daughter is about to remarry. He had forgotten all the threats from Gaston Gates.
Upon seeing Alex, Claire jumped off the couch and said, "Who let this guy in? You still dare to come back here? You're getting divorced from Dorothy tomorrow.
"Get out!"
Alex ignored his comments and quickly rushed up the stairs. He wanted to make sure that Dorothy was in his room. He was determined not to lose it. Alex tries to open the door, but it's locked.
He knocked on the door loudly and pleaded, "Dorothy, please open the door. I know you're inside. There is something important to tell you.
Madame Claire followed Alex with her bare feet and shouted, "You trash, get out of our house. Who gave you permission to come here? You think you deserve to be here?"
"I have to see Dorothy, Alex said firmly.
"Don't I tell you that he went to spend the night with Spark? Maybe she'll carry her child. Stop being a burden to my daughter and our family. If you don't stop, and my daughter fails to marry Spark, I will hit you!" Madame Claire said angrily.
Alex grunting. If her overbearing mother-in-law knew by now that she had a ten billion dollar balance in banks and a trillion dollar empire, how would her mother-in-law feel? However, he decided it was not the right time to reveal it to her.
In time, he would inform him of his newfound wealth and influence! Suddenly, Dorothy's bedroom door opened.
Dorothy was at the door and said, "Mom, can you keep your mouth? Even if you're not shy, I can't possibly spend the night with Spark? I'm not divorced yet. If word spreads, how can I face anyone?"
As he spoke, Dorothy slowly walked out of the room. He looked at Alex without showing any emotion on his face.
Madame Claire quickly interjected when she saw Dorothy becoming agitated, "I just told her to let her give up and never bother us again."
Alex is relieved to know that he's not too late. With a smile on her face, she assured Dorothy, "Darling, I'm so glad you didn't spend the night with Spark."
He was filled with hope. He feels like a new person, who has the power to protect the people he loves. Alex thought to himself, "Dorothy my dear, you have never given up on me and endured so much for me over the past ten months. You can depend on me for the rest of our lives."
Not understanding the intent behind Alex's smile, Dorothy felt disappointed and angry. How could he smile after what happened? Did he really lose his mind?!
He angrily said, "What makes you smile? Even if I wasn't with him today, I might do it tomorrow. Are you happy about that?"
"Right now, I need to apologize and also thank you for not giving up on me. Finally, I can stand on my own two feet, I can protect you from that Gaston Thousand Miles Conglomerate if it is in front of me. I will avenge you. From now on, no one will bother you."
Just as Alex spoke enthusiastically, Madame Claire slapped her face. "Are you hallucinating?" ask Madame Claire, please,
"Are you brain dead? You must have gone crazy. Why don't you tell us that you're the owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Get out of our house now before spreading your madness here."
Alex glared at Madame Claire, He was eager to tell her that he really was the owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. However, even if she said so, no one would believe her, just like Dorothy who thought she was crazy when she told him that she had ten billion dollars as well. It is hard for anyone, even himself, to believe that it is true.
He took a deep breath and said, "Dorothy, just give me one day. Believe this. I can take care of everything. I found an old friend of my father who was willing to help me. The half million dollars you gave me, was it from Spark? I'll pay it back now."
Alex turned around and wanted to go look for Spark after finishing his sentence.
"Wait" Dorothy said, "Don't go!"
Alex replied, "Dorothy, please, just trust me this once. Disagree with Spark's proposal. One day is all I need. Let me prove it to you, if I fail, I'll agree to a divorce. No need to stop a million dollars from Spark."
Dorothy just looked at him calmly. He felt like he was a different person. He sighed and said, "I didn't take any money from Spark. I sold my wedding ring for the money."
"What did you say?"
Alex almost faints when he learns that Dorothy has sold the wedding ring they chose together, but is relieved to learn that the money is rotten and asks, "Who did you sell it to? I'll buy it back now."
Dorothy shook her head and said, "I sold it for half a million dollars, but if you want to buy it back, it might cost over a million dollars. Even if you don't use that money for your mother's medical bills, there's no way you can afford to buy it back. Maybe our life and marriage are destined to end.
Please wake up Alex, stop dreaming! I hope you can live well without me." As Dorothy finished her sentence, she turned around and slammed the door.
"Tears flowed down his cheeks."
Alex said, "No, I'm not going to let that happen. Who do you sell it to? I will buy it back soon! Even if it was a hundred million dollars, I would still buy it. Don't worry, I won't let our marriage end.
"LG. Balfour!" Dorothy answered from behind the door.
"okay! You have to wait for me" exclaimed Alex excitedly.
Dorothy shook her head and thought, "This guy must have gone crazy. He really thinks that he has a hundred million dollars?"
Madame Claire evicts Alex from their home. "Rockefeller, I say now, you're getting a divorce with Dorothy tomorrow."
If you dare to bother Dorothy marrying Spark, I will come after that Alex takes a deep breath and immediately rushes to LG Balfour.
