The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 48


    Merida cackled and pinched Nichs’s ear. “Listen to your brother-inw, you naive child. What kind of


    people are you even befriending now? Do you know how expensive the vis are in Maple Vi? Your


    brother-inw wouldn’t even be able to afford one in a million years!”


    “Trying to trick us with a fake keycard? You are absolutely ridiculous!”

    Alex was speechless. He didn’t want his mother to face any insults. She had only just been discharged


    from the hospital. He turned to Nichs. “Nichs, you can talk it out with your family. We’ll be off.”


    Nichs asked, “Off to where?”


    Merida smirked and joked, “Where? They’re definitely going to Maple Vi and stay in some grand vi


    of course! Why would they stay in such a rundown ce, right? Will they even get used to such


    poverty?”


    Seanughed at them too, treating them like clowns in a circus.


    Alex replied, “My keycard is real. Mr. Carter gave it to me just a while ago. Nichs, it’s alright, I know


    how much you care about me. I’ll be off with my mom now.”


    He then helped Brittany out of the apartment.


    During the whole conversation, Brittany did not say a single word and watched her son navigate the


    whole situation. He was calm and collected, handling the situation maturely. Brittany was very d that


    he handled it so well.


    Nichs suggested, “I’ll drive you guys there.”


    The luggage was still in the car after all.


    Sean continued to make fun of them, “Does he really think he’s some hotshot? As if Mr. Carter would


    ever give him his vi. Babe, we should follow them and uncover his lies, just to prevent your brother


    from getting scammed.”


    “You’re right.”


    Nichs then drove towards Maple Vi. He even confirmed the destination with Alex multiple times on


    the way.


    Sean, Merida, and the others followed behind.


    “My family is following us too.”


    “I don’t mind!” Alex said. He initially intended to return the keycard to Charles. However, he changed


    his mind and wanted to buy the house instead.


    At the entrance security of Maple Vi, the keycard gave Nichs’ car ess immediately. However,


    Sean’s car was stopped by security. He then exined to the guards, “We’re together, rtives.”


    On the inside, Sean was extremely shocked. He thought to himself, ‘Is the keycard actually real?’


    Merida huffed, “Babe, didn’t you drive my brother’s car to work here? Maybe the system registered his


    car, so he could go in. Ours is new, so we can’t get in.”


    Sean pped his thigh out of realization, “Oh yeah, how could I forget?”


    Merida added, “Let’s see how they will face us once they find out that they can’t ess the property!


    These poor and cunning people don’t have the right to hang out with my brother.”


    They reached the property of the 8th vi.


    Sean was the first one to get out of the car. He pointed at the vi smugly and said, “This is number 8,


    I’ll see what tricks you can pull. If you really do have ess to this vi, I’ll eat all of the grass in this


    garden!”


    Alex helped Brittany out of the car and red at him, “Sure! If you don’t keep your promise, then you’re


    nothing more than a warthog-faced buffoon.”


    Alex then took the keycard out of his pocket and swiped it on the card reader.


    With a small beep, the door opened automatically.


    Sean froze. He was hoping to watch Alex humiliate himself in front of them. Merida and her parents,


    who were standing behind Sean, stared in disbelief as well.


    “Remember to keep your promise. Eat the whole garden up, all but the flowers.” Alex left them a


    reminder and helped Brittany into the vi.


    “There’s no way, no way!”


    “Number 8 was a gift from Mr. Carter to his wife! The furnishing was unique and personalised; it’s


    exceptionally grand and luxurious. How did you even get that keycard?


    “You must’ve found this keycard somewhere!” Sean yelled. He just couldn’t believe it at all and he


    definitely didn’t want to eat the grass.


    Merida added, “He might’ve stolen it! Babe, don’t you know Manager Miles from Waylon Realty? Call


    him and ask about this! If we managed to catch a thief, you would be rewarded! It’ll be much easier for


    you to get more projects to work on in Waylon!”


    Sean nodded and pulled out his phone, about to make a call. Someone jogged up to the vi entrance.


    It was Charles Carter.


    Sean was overjoyed, he immediately greeted Charles, “Mr. Carter, I’m Sean from Mob Furnishing.


    Has your keycard been stolen? Look, the thief is over there! He even intends to live in your vi. He’s


    got some balls to steal your vi, I’ll give him that.”


    Charles turned to look at Alex and Brittany, visibly puzzled.


    “You’re saying that he’s a thief?”


    “Yeah, he stole the keycard to Number 8.”


    “What the f*ck do you mean stole it?” Charles yelled as he pped Sean across the face. “Alex is my


    wife’s godbrother. Number 8 is indeed his, and you’re calling him a thief? Are you looking for a death


    wish? Scram!”
