Bailey Melvis looked at her mother and older brother in disbelief. Soon, she found out approximately what the whole ordeal was about.
“Brother, Lush Cosmetics is a great company. I heard from my friend that this company has a limitless future. If it’s run well, it might even make a few ten trillion dollars in a year,” Bailey said.
“What?” This time, even Ruby Lamar was shocked. She dropped the cup of bird’s nest tea in her hands to the ground.
Bennett Melvis shook his head. “Sister, do you think of money as paper? Ten trillion dollars isn’t a small amount. Do you know how much that is? In Alaska, there are less than twenty companies that own assets up to ten trillion dollars. In fact, there are less than five companies that earn ten trillion dollars in a year,” he said.
Bailey chuckled. “Brother, that’s only because you don’t know how powerful Lush Cosmetics is. In this world, the easiest money to earn will always be from women! Since you’re going to deal with Brianna Melvis, you must acquire Lush Cosmetics first. Otherwise, it’d be a huge loss,” she said.
Before Bennett could say anything, Ruby offered her opinion first. “That’s right! What Bailey said is right! We must acquire Lush Cosmetics first. This will be our gold laying chicken! Hmph, regardless of anything else, Brianna still has ‘Melvis’ as her surname. Once she and her son are dead, their assets naturally belong to the Melvis family. It’s only right,” she said.
If Brittany Rockefeller heard this, she’d probably vomit blood from the rage she’d feel. There was nobody more despicable and shameless than Ruby!
“I’ve already asked Shadow to hurry over to California. However, apart from killing people, Shadow doesn’t know how to deal with business related matters,” Bennett said.
“Get Tucker to go with him! It’s about time he went out there to gain some experience,” Ruby said.
Tucker was Bennett Melvis’s youngest son, Tucker Melvis.
“But I heard about a shocking battle on Moonlight Lake in California. Since Brianna is involved in it, would it be dangerous?” Bailey asked.
Bennett snorted. “I’ve seen the video. The Grandmaster stuff is all an exaggeration! How could so many Martial Honors exist in the world? That explosion definitely happened because somebody buried a large number of explosives underneath Moonlight Lake in advance… Besides, we’re only dealing with Brianna and her son. Don’t worry,” he said.
Bailey instantly started clapping joyfully. “It’d be great if Lush Cosmetics fell into our hands! Previously, I couldn’t even buy the Beauty Cream I wanted! Once we acquire it, those noblewomen in the circle would all have to suck up to me!”
The family of three entertained themselves with happy thoughts, and they couldn’t resist laughing out loud.

Early next morning, Alex Rockefeller and Brittany Rockefeller went to the cemetery together. They cleaned up William Rockefeller’s tomb and made offerings.
Waltz Fleur, Maya Howards, Holly Yates, and even Xyla Stoermer went with them.
Waltz knew that the cinerary urn contained an old sow’s ashes. However, she had no reason not to come. They were occupied for up to half a day.
When Alex and Waltz saw Brittany crying in front of the old sow’s ashes, they really couldn’t look directly at her.
When it was close to noon, the group of people finally returned to Rockefeller Manor.
To their surprise, somebody was already waiting for them in front of the entrance. It was a young man with a cold and proud expression on his face. “Who among you is called Brianna Melvis?” he asked when he saw them.
Brittany’s heart shook fervently. “What do you want?” She looked at the young man in surprise.
“Does that mean you are Brianna Melvis?” The young man took out an invitation and tossed it over to Brittany. “Tonight, eight o’clock, at Shangri-La Hotel. Young Master Melvis has invited you to come over. If you dare to not show up, you’ll suffer the consequences!”
