CHAPTER 774
Claire fell on her behind out of shock. She was appalled after hearing Hailey’s words. All she could think of were the words ‘100 billion’, ‘richest
woman in California’ and ‘richest woman in the world’. However, all these words were just mere dreams, vanishing in front of her eyes. She thumped her fist to her
chest, regretting her actions greatly. Eloise, on the other hand, was shocked to her core. She couldn’t help but scold Claire inside her head.
‘She used to be so smart back when we were classmates, yet now she just has the IQ of a rock. How could she
not want such a good son-in-law? Is she trying to get God to become her son-in-law or something?’ She was shocked and disappointed at the same time. ‘If Alex was still Claire’s son-in-law, our friendship could have helped bring our business to newer heights, yet…’ Just then, a gorgeous and alluring woman walked into the salon. She looked as if she was a beautiful woman
who came out of an ancient painting.
Her aura was intense. Although she was just wearing a white dress, she just seemed so seductive and dominant that most wouldn’t
dare to look her in the eye. Alex turned and welcomed her with a smile. “Waltz, what brings you here? Didn’t you say that you have a
meeting with the directors at noon?”
The woman who came was indeed Waltz Fleur. Waltz noticed Claire, who was still sitting on the ground. She froze and pretended that she didn’t see her.
With a bright smile, she said, “I’m here for a spot check. I wanted to see if you’ve been messing around with the
women in here, you charmer.” Alex rubbed his nose gently, feeling slightly awkward. Everyone else continued to stare at Waltz in disbelief. Some of the female employees had come to rubberneck
a while ago. They immediately felt ashamed as soon as they laid eyes on Waltz.
Sharpay was fairly disappointed as well. Dorothy, Alex’s ex-wife, was already one of the most beautiful women in California. Now this woman, who
seemed quite close to him, was just as gorgeous as well. ‘No wonder Alex isn’t interested in me.’ Eloise, on the other hand, was yet again appalled. She knew who Waltz was. She had seen just how powerful Waltz was during a dinner party. Moreover, she had watched the news this morning, saying that Thousand Miles Conglomerate was now being
managed by this insanely gorgeous woman.
She was their CEO. She walked up to her in slight fear. “Ms. Fleur, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Waltz took a glance at her. She didn’t know who Eloise was, hence she ignored her completely. Instead, she
turned to Alex with flirtatious eyes. “Like you said, we’re having a meeting with the directors, so how could
our biggest shareholder not attend? Without you, how would I be able to handle those punks? So, what do
you say? Let’s go now.”
She hugged Alex’s arm, clinging to him like a little koala hugging a tree. Everyone was shocked. Hailey couldn’t believe what she was hearing as well, wondering if she was hallucinating. ‘Alex is the biggest shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?’ ‘That’s a whole business empire!’ Claire was trembling, her heart felt like it was going to explode any moment and she felt drained. Just then, an
idea popped up in her head. This belongs to .
She crawled up to her feet and said, “Alex, you’re the biggest shareholder of
Thousand Miles Conglomerate, then… Isn’t that considered mutual property with my daughter?”
Waltz chuckled. “Claire Bardot, I still remember just how you used to bully my brother. Yet here you are
trying to take shares of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Let me ask you one thing, how many lives do you
have for me kill?”
