The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 109
ire found it bemusing and utterly unbelievable.
On one side was a rich heir as well as young director of apany with a worth of tens of billions
of fortunes, while on the other side was a good-for-nothing trash who had to live off his wife’s money for
survival. Reasonably, should not the trash be the one to kneel down before the rich heir for an
apology? How did it be the other way round?
Just what had Alex done?
Beatrice, who just came out of the manor, saw the scene and immediately cried out, “My good brother-
inw, why are you on your knees? What qualification does this trash have to have you kneel? Stand
up, quickly stand up! Did the Rockefeller coerce you into doing this? Don’t worry, my mom and I will
always have your back.”
After hearing how Beatrice addressed him, Felix was scared senseless as his heart raced widely.
Earlier, Felix and Edgar left. After returning home, only then did Edgar let out a sigh and told him what
happened at Urasawa Restaurant and also the information gleaned from the phone conversation
between Lord Lex Gunther and Alex.
It was truly terrifying.

They had all the reason to believe that a cue from Alex was all it needed for Lord Lex to crush both
Pegasus International and the Shepherd family overnight, through the gathered force of Thousand
Miles Conglomerate.
It was not an exaggeration at all.
Therefore, Felix’s fear of Alex now had risen to its peak.
The more he thought, the more afraid and anxious he became, hence, he must quickly express his
standpoint on the matter, and repent, begging for Alex’s forgiveness.
He then noticed that Alex was looking at Beatrice with nothing but disgust and contempt.
Leaping immediately to his feet, Felix pped Beatrice on her face and roared, “Shut up! I’m not your
brother-inw, but Mr. Rockefeller is! What you just did, not only insulted him but also your sister! It’s a
blessing that Mr. Rockefeller can be your brother-inw. I’m warning you, do not cross the line.”
“What?” Beatrice was stupefied.
She could not fathom what just happened as she covered her face.
What happened to the man who wanted her sister so badly, that he exhausted every mean and gave
her favors just to glean more information from her?
How did it turn out this way?
ire, who was shocked as well, said, “Mr. Shepherd, what is going on? I thought you liked our
Dorothy and wanted to marry her so badly. Why the sudden change of heart? Did this trash coerce you
to do so? What has he done to you? I have your back, do not worry!”
“Mr. Rockefeller…”
Felix was just about to reply but Alex spoke while looking at him with a faint smile, “Felix, some things
are not meant to be said.”
Felix’s heart was in his throat. He instantly recalled Alex’s warning not to reveal his rtionship with
Lord Lex. So, he immediately got on his knees and said, “Mr. Rockefeller, I went home and thought
things through. It was my mistake. Ms. Assex here is Mr. Rockefeller’s legal wife, I was supposed to
offer my blessing. How could I have presumptuous thoughts about her? Am I even a person? I’m
extremely ashamed of what I did, hence, I muste and ask for your forgiveness. I’ll repent and
be a good person who positively contributes to society.”
Alex asked with a strange expression, “Really?”
“Definitely. I would never lie to Mr. Rockefeller.”
With that, Felix took off his shirt and respectfully handed Alex the sprig that he was carrying on his
back. “Mr. Rockefeller, pleasesh me with this! I’m at fault here. Lash me, so that it would be imprinted
on my mind, and serves as a reminder not to make the same mistake again.”
Everyone else, including Dorothy, was dumbfounded and thought if Felix had gone mad after getting hit
on the head.
Only Alex knew the reason. So, he took the sprig and said with a nod, “Since you asked for it, I will give
it to you.”
Smack!
