The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 61


    John Rockefeller’s heart leaped hearing the news.


    But he soon calmed down. “So what if she wakes up? She is now a woman of infamy and has nothing


    to her name. She is no match for us.”


    Bill Rockefeller suddenly lowered his voice. “John, Brittany said that she possessed evidence of your


    corrupt practices and also your ties with the Japanese. Do you think that’s going to be okay?”


    John snickered. “Father, it happened more than half a year ago. Even if there is something fishy, any


    trace of it would have been gone by now.”


    Bill breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. Anyhow, Rockefeller Group can never fall into the


    hands of Alex, that bastard.”


    Alex would be disturbed by Bill’s statement.


    “Don’t worry. It will never happen. Even till his death, William did not even have an inkling who he


    actually was. That fool! He would never have expected to toil his life away only for his efforts to be


    seized by others.”


    It was noon the next day at Assex Manor.


    Lugging her suitcases along, Dorothy Assex returned home exhausted.


    Upon entering the house, she overheard her mother, ire, and her sister, Beatrice’s conversation.


    “Mother, do you know what happened? Alex Rockefeller wanted me to call him daddy all because he


    bought a new car! Do you think he ising onto you?”


    “What nonsense are you saying? Daddy? Why did he do that?”


    “Beats me! I think he has gone insane. Perhaps he could not get the attention he wanted from sis and


    turned his attention toward you,” said Beatrice.


    “That jerk! He is now living with a woman named Coney. Hah, let’s see how long it willst! Where is


    Dorothy? She should divorce him as soon as possible!” said ire with a hiss.


    Dorothy was dumbfounded. Was her husband now living with another woman?


    “Mother, what did you say?” She rushed in.


    “You are back, mydy.” Instead, a woman in her mid-forties came forward and greeted her with a


    broad smile on her face.


    “Who are you?” Dorothy could not recognize the person.


    “She is Ms. Brown, a housemaid I hired recently,” ire answered. “Ms. Brown, do cook us something


    delicious. My daughter is home today; she wants to eat good food. If it is not up to my standard, I will


    deduct your sry.”


    Ms. Brown pouted but nodded and made a beeline for the kitchen.


    “Why did you hire a housemaid? Where is Alex?” Dorothy asked in astonishment.


    “That scoundrel was chased out of our house, and he will never return to the Assex Manor. Did you


    know he got together with a woman while you were away for business? She was a doctor, the


    granddaughter of California’s miracle doctor—James Coney. What a shameless man!”

    Of course, ire took a few liberties in her narrative, adding unfounded stories to support her cause


    further.


    Beatrice assisted with plenty of interjections.


    That was it. Dorothy was at her limits.


    ire continued, “Dorothy, isn’t this a good thing? Since he is now living with that woman, you have all


    the reasons to divorce him! I have been waiting for this day for so long! Finally, we can say goodbye to


    his sorry ass!”


    Dorothy’s expression darkened. “I refuse to believe what you said. I am calling him; I want to hear it


    from him.”


    “What other doubts do you have? Do you know he pped mother, all because of that woman?” added


    Beatrice.


    Dorothy looked at her wide-eyed, trying toprehend what she had just heard.
