Madame Claire Assex’s car was still around, but she was missing.
“Where’s my mother?”
“Where did she go?”
Lady Beatrice Assex was in a frenzy. She tugged at her hair and scratched her face. She was so worried that tears came streaming down her face. It was clear that she was on excellent terms with her mother.
Right then, a security guard quickly ran over. “Miss Assex, why are you covered in blood?”
Lady Beatrice couldn’t be bothered to explain. “Did you see my mother? Her car is here, but why isn’t she here?” she hurriedly asked.
“Your mother has been taken to the hospital. Now, she’s already at First City Hospital. My colleagues and I took her there together,” the security guard quickly said.
Alex and Lady Beatrice quickly got into the car and headed to First City Hospital.
Fortunately, Lady Beatrice’s phone was still in the car. She quickly gave her sister, Lady Dorothy Assex, a call. She didn’t expect to receive a notification that Lady Dorothy’s phone was turned off.
“Oh my goodness. This is worrying. Why does my sister always have her phone turned off these days?” Lady Beatrice mumbled.

Alex chuckled. “Don’t worry. With me around, your mother won’t die! Isn’t there a saying that goes, good people don’t live long, but terrible people live a thousand years? Your mother is such a terrible person. She’d at least live a few centuries,” he joked.
Lady Beatrice looked at Alex, dumbfounded.
“Alex, do you hate my mother a lot?” she asked after a while.
Alex chuckled softly. “I don’t have to.”
“She… To be honest, she used to be a really nice person. After a while, that b*stard cheated on her. She caught him with another woman in bed. That was what triggered her temper! She does actually deserve pity. If another woman went through what she has, she might have killed herself already,” Lady Beatrice said.
“Did you see it happen?” Alex was shocked.
Lady Beatrice nodded.
After a pause, her expressions turned sullen. There was an unusual emotion in her eyes. “That day, I happened to be checking out my mother’s art exhibition. After that, she received a call from some woman and rushed out. I followed her…”
Madame Claire used to be a painter. Alex knew a little about this. Her art pieces were quite good too. A few of those were in the villa.
However, ever since Alex knew her, he’d never seen her paint before. Perhaps, she was too severely affected by the fact that her husband cheated on her. That’s why she thoroughly gave up on painting.
“After that, I thought that the phone call might very likely be from that woman. She intentionally called my mother.”
“At the time, my mother broke in through the door angrily, and she wanted to hit that woman. In the end, my father even helped that woman. I’ve never seen him like that. He didn’t look like my father at all. He was like a madman!”
“He hit my mother as if he wanted to kill her. He pushed her to the ground, and she knocked her head against the table, and she bled profusely. However, he didn’t even care about her. He even hit me. From then on, I no longer had a father,” Lady Beatrice explained.
Alex felt his tongue tied after listening to what she said. This was the first time he heard about this. Lady Dorothy Assex had never told him about it.
“Didn’t you tell your sister?” Alex asked.
“No!” Lady Beatrice shook her head.
“Back then, my sister was preparing for her university entrance exam,” she added.
