The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 220


    “You don’t look good, what happened? Did the olddy wreak havoc in thepany again?”


    ire Assex immediately noticed Dorothy’s unusual demeanor. “Hey, didn’t Rockefeller say that he


    was going to get the permit for you? Did he lie to us and got a fraudulent document instead? What a


    fool!”


    “Where is he? I am going to give him a smackdown he will never forget!”


    Dorothy suddenly realized that returning home earlier was a bad decision on her part.


    “Why are you so anxious, mom? Thepany is doing just fine.”


    “So, the olddy wasn’t there?”


    “She was but with Alex’s permit, there was nothing she could do. Instead, we obtained apetitive


    advantage that will allow us to increase our profits!”

    ire was thrilled. “Are you sure?”


    “Of course! Mom, stop criticizing Alex for once! Without his help, we would have been done for!”


    “Hmph! He is your husband, right? He did what was expected from him.”


    “Look, it has been a while since he came home. Where the hell is he? I have to do all the chores at


    home, washing, cleaning, cooking, am I the maid now? Not just that, when he dide back, he saw


    Beatrice in…”


    As she spoke, Beatrice came down to the living room.


    “Mom, can you stop? Do you want every neighbor in the area to know that my brother-inw saw me


    naked?”


    Beatrice was livid remembering what happenedst night.


    “All right, all right, it was an ident,” said Dorothy. “Beatrice, Alex told me that he went to Michelle


    Yowell’s housest night, and you were there too. Um, do you know her? I want to thank her


    personally.”


    Beatrice was surprised. From her understanding, Michelle was Alex’s mistress. Why would her sister


    want to thank her? “Sis, I think that is unnecessary. She is my schoolmate but is quite the character.


    Also, I think I saw him treating her to a meal yesterday.”


    She was stuck in a dilemma. Maybe she should tell Dorothy the truth, but she did not want to suffer


    Michelle’s wrath.


    As for Dorothy, she felt so much better. Alex did not go to Cheryl Coney for help. What aboutst night?


    “Anyway, listen here, both of you. Iwant you home by seven at night. It is very dangerous out there,”


    said ire.


    “Why?”


    “Look at the news! A dozen young girls were assaulted and became unconscious after. This happened


    last night!” ire took out her phone and showed her daughters the news article.


    Not just that, the number of victims was still increasing, ording to the news report.


    They were found in an abandoned housest night and sent to Premier Hospital immediately. However,


    ording to Cheryl, who was in charge of the patients, the hospital also received simr patients a few


    days ago. There was a possibility that there were more victims out there.


    A picture of Cheryl being interviewed was attached to the news report.


    “This is scary!” Beatrice blurted out.


    Dorothy looked at the picture and thought to herself, ‘So she was telling the truth!’


    All suspicions in her mind vanished that instant. Yet, she still felt a little off and quickly decided that she


    woulde onto Alex that very night itself.
