CHAPTER 424
As the yelling continued, Ethan walked out of the office. Emma rushed over to him.
“Baby, this woman said that Dorothy-Alex Constructions had signed the contract for the
Five Rings Project. Is that true? Please tell your dad that he shouldn’t! Only Assex
Constructions could sign this contract. Didn’t you promise me that? Go, just go in and
tell…”
Ethan interrupted her. “Emma, please leave. Let’s not see each other ever again.”
Emma froze. “What? What did you just say, Ethan?”
Ethan turned to the guards. “If she won’t leave, make her.”
“Yes, master!”
Emma finally realized that he had broken up with her. She was infuriated. “Ethan Hawk,
you jerk! Don’t you remember what you promised me in bed last night? You bastard!
How could you break your promises? You’re inhumane, go rot in hell!”
Suddenly, a guard slapped her hard across the face. “How dare you insult our young
master? Do you have a death wish?”
“Throw her out now!”
Ten minutes later, at Assex Manor. owns all content.
The old lady was in a very good mood. She was able to take back the villa that Claire
was living in and was under the impression that they had been able to successfully sign
a contract with South Cali Constructions.
Once the contract is signed, they would be able to decrease the damage from the fallout
with Waylon Realty. They might be able to expand their business too. Besides, they had
just received a sales permit for another new type of construction material. So, they
would still earn lots without Thousand Leaves.
Just then, Emma called to give her the bad news.
“Grandma, I couldn’t sign the Five Ring Project contract.”
“What?”
The old lady was feeding her bird and lost grip of the bird cage upon hearing Emma’s
words.
“What happened? Why couldn’t you sign it? Wasn’t it set in stone?”
“That b*tch Dorothy signed it before I could.”
The old lady screamed and fainted from shock.
At the same time, Alex was driving Dorothy in her BMW M8 back to her office.
He then went to the Assex Villa to get Beatrice and Claire and headed toward a realty
center that sold villas in a specific area.
Claire had been up all night finding a nice area to live in. She finally found one, Senna
Port in City West of California. Next to the area was a famous five-star forest garden,
Floresta. As such, the favourable area had a fairly quiet environment.
Claire’s eyes were red due to the lack of sleep. Despite this, she was extremely
energetic. She just wanted to head to the realty center of Senna Port immediately.
Claire’s eyes glistened with excitement as she looked at the villa models. Beatrice was
very fond of the designs as well. They went back to the main hall to see which villa they
liked best.
Suddenly, a voice called out to them. “Hey, is that you, Claire Assex? So you’re here
with your son-in-law to look at the villa models? Can your son-in-law really buy such a
big villa?”
It was Claire’s old neighbour, the busybody whom she encountered at the bank when
she was depositing the cheque.
Next to her old neighbour was a young couple. The man was obviously her son-in-law.
