The scene Alex hated the most was having dinner with her mother and grandfather.
"Dad, this is the soup Ive been simmering for a whole afternoon, I put a lot of Chinese medicine in it, it can prolong life, drink it while its hot." Linda Martin held a bowl of soup, her face full of flattering smiles.
Edward Walker nodded coldly, took the bowl and sipped it slowly, "You have a heart."
Seeing this, Linda Martins smile grew larger, only Alex sitting on the side lowered her head, her lips hanging a sneer.
No one would have thought that Linda Martin, who seemed filial and gentle, had been poisoning Edward Walkers soup for several years!
Perhaps it was because Alex was too quiet, after Edward Walker finished the soup, his sharp eyes glanced at her, and his voice was flat: "Did you finish the task I assigned to you last week?"
Alex put down her chopsticks, her expression solemn: "Im sorry, Grandpa, the person in charge of Summit Group is too cunning, Ive already given him 5% of the profit and he still wont let go, now... its still at a standstill."
Although Edward Walker was old and seriously ill, as a patriarch who only cared about the family, he wanted to choose the most capable person who could be controlled by him, so he always held on to power.
In order to test the strength of several younger generations, he would assign some tasks to them every month to complete, to assess their ability to work.
He didnt care about the competition between brothers and nephews, pressure makes people stronger!
"Hum, what a big deal, its been so long and you still cant handle it." Edward was displeased in his heart, his wrinkled fingers impatiently tapping on the table. Alex was the eldest grandson of the eldest son, his nominal successor, but if this successor was so useless, he would never hand over the family business to Alex!
Alex lowered her head and frowned slightly. If it wasnt for those uncles and brothers making trouble behind the scenes, she would have been able to handle Shengda by now!
Unfortunately, she couldnt say this in front of Edward, otherwise he would definitely get angry, and as the one who provoked him, Alex would naturally not be able to get the better of it.
Linda Martin was silent on the side, with a smile on her face, but in her heart she had already scolded the old man thousands of times.
Half of his body is already in the grave, but he doesnt enjoy his old age, but still holds on to power!
However... Linda Martin soon narrowed her eyes and sneered, Edward couldnt jump around for much longer, and the family business would be hers sooner or later!
A dinner ended unhappily, and Alex returned to her room, sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed in contemplation.
"The time is running out..." A sigh came out of the empty room, and Alex suddenly opened her tired eyes, her eyes full of bloodshot, full of desolation.
Alex was a child adopted by Linda Martin to fight for power for her, Linda Martin had been injecting male hormones into her since she was young, so at the age of thirteen, her female characteristics completely stopped developing, now she is neither a man nor a woman.
And this body that has been changed has already been collapsed by too many hormones, with not much time left.
Alex felt a little sad in her heart, her lifes mission was to fight for her adoptive mothers property.
She didnt expect that at the end of her life, she actually developed desire for her uncle!
Thinking of the little ambiguity with Jason yesterday, Alex couldnt help but raise her hand and touch her lips.
Such an ambitious and meticulous power grabber, even in the situation where Edward didnt like or even excluded him, he still had the ability to make a great career!
"Jason Stark, Im more and more obsessed with you, what should I do..."
