Stefan remained silent as he dropped the smile on his face.

"Alex, you animal! How dare you fool the Jones family? I'm going to be the one to break your legs today!" Desmond was the first to rush toward Alex when he saw the latter. He raised the steel pipe in his hands and swung it down in Alex's direction.

Alex's expression darkened as he raised his hand and slapped the other man.

Smack!

Desmond groaned as he flew several meters to the side from the force of the slap.

"Do you think you have the right to fight with me?" Alex scoffed.

Instantly, the Joneses were infuriated, and they charged toward Alex with a roar.

Right then, Damian uttered, "That's enough. None of you are good at fighting. Don't run headlong into hell now."

"Move aside!" Stefan bellowed, knowing that Alex was not someone they could cross without thinking.

The Joneses froze for a split second before they hurriedly retreated away from Alex.

Desmond crawled to his feet as blood trickled down the corner of his lips.

He wiped it away as he glared at Alex and threatened, "How dare you hit me? I'm going to make you leave this place on your hands and knees!" His words sounded ferocious, but he did not dare to do anything else now.

Alex looked away from Damian and Lexa, and he turned toward Stefan instead. With an icy tone, he said, "Mr. Jones, do give me an explanation."

A chill ran down Stefan's spine when he saw Alex's cold gaze. For a moment, he could not form the words in his mind.

"Alex, you're a f*cking fraud! You've been lying to my uncle. You cheated the Jones family's card from us, and you used it to pretend that you're a rich man at the auction. You're a f*cking animal!" Desmond yelled.

"Alex, my trust in you had been wrong. I shouldn't have convinced my dad to ask you for help with our family's matter. If Mr. Kline hadn't seen through your cunning plan, you would've still fooled us." Autumn glared at Alex as grief, disappointment, and regret overwhelmed her. She was beyond upset with the man.

If I didn't put my faith in Alex, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Alex, I'll say this now. If you don't return my family's card and compensate for our loss, we won't let you out of this house today!" Desmond roared again.

Alex was still staring at Stefan.

Stefan gritted out, "Mr. Jefferson, shouldn't you be the one to explain to me?"

"Me? Explaining to you?"

Alex laughed as he took out the black card and threw it at Stefan. He sneered, "I've only spent a little more than a hundred million. Give me your account number. I'll transfer the money to you now." Since the Jones family insisted on digging their own grave, Alex decided to leave them be.

Stefan caught the black card as his heart skipped a beat. Suspicion started to rose within his heart.

Have I been wrong to suspect Alex?

The Joneses were stunned when they realized that Alex was more than willing to return the hundred million he spent.

Isn't he a live-in son-in-law of the Jennings family?

Where did he get so much money?

Autumn was also staring at Alex in shock. Like her father, doubts were growing in her heart.

Alex was quick to act, and the Joneses were now in disbelief.

It's more than one hundred million.

That's a large amount for a live-in son-in-law.

“I'm sure there's a record of how much I've spent. We'll include that bracelet you've given to my mother-in-law. Let's just round up the bracelet's price to five million. Do your calculations quickly. I want to go home and continue my dinner," Alex muttered.

"M-Mr. Jefferson, I would like to ask you a question, if you don't mind." Stefan mumbled.

"Ask away." Alex was starting to become impatient.

"Didn't you buy a Monoceros bone from the auction yesterday? You said it's for the evil spirit in my family, so why haven't you come to my house today?" This was the thing that Stefan was most confused about, and this was what made him believe that Alex was fooling his family.

Alex looked into Stefan's eyes as a smirk grew on his face. "Who do you think you are to question my course of actions?"

Stefan's heart skipped a beat. Right now, Alex was exuding a terrifying aura of indifference that instilled fear in Stefan.

Just then, Damian huffed as he took a step forward, "Brat, stop pretending to be cool in front of the normal people. Let's settle our scores first."
