The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 407


    Immediately, Alex was dragged away by an anxious Hailey Lawson.


    She was on her phone the entire time. “Hang in there, Cathay! Yes, yes, I understand!


    Don’t worry, my girl, I willpensate you with a hundred million dors for each p


    you receive. If she smacks you ten times, that’s a thousand million dors! You trust me,


    don’t you?”


    “Yes, yes! Whatever you do, just hang in there! The doctor ising with me. We will


    be there soon!”


    Alex found it amusing but realized that something terrible must have happened to


    Hailey’s beauty salon. They quickly got into the car as Hailey mmed her foot on the


    throttle. The car sped away and almost crashed into a little garden amongst the


    residences.


    “Should I drive, Hailey?”


    Alex swapped seats with Hailey and took the opportunity to find out more details on the


    incident. After instructing Alex where to go, she exined, “Something happened to one


    of my exclusive customers in the beauty salon.


    A rash broke out after using our new


    product. She got into a rage, pping my employees and threatening to close down my


    salon!”


    “That’s quite intimidating.” Alex raised his brows.


    Hailey smiled bitterly. “Unfortunately, she has the means to do it.”


    “What do you mean?” Alex was surprised.


    Charles Carter’s Waylon Realty was one of California’s biggest enterprises, and as his


    wife, Hailey had ess to plenty of capital to build her salon. It was one of the best


    salons in the state, if not the best, a ce of prominence and exclusivity.


    Only someone of immense caliber had the means to shut her business down.


    “Who is she?”


    “I don’t think you have heard of her name. She’s Betty Dawson, a prominent socialite in


    the circle of upper-ssdies and a member of the Summers family.”


    At that moment, Alex understood why Hailey was so distressed, why she even promised


    topensate her employees so handsomely.


    Among the four great California families, the Summers’ ranked first, while the Yowell


    family came inst. Positioned in between them were the Colemans and the


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Johanssons.


    The Summers’ patriarch was once a prominent politician and still wielded much


    influence, although now retired. And his eldest son was currently California’s governor.


    It came as no surprise that the daughter-inw of such an influential family could single


    handedly destroy a beauty salon with just words.


    “This is a life or death situation, Alex. And my life, no, the lives of my family are all in


    your hands!” Hailey was so distressed she began babbling.


    Grabbing onto Alex’s


    shoulder, she said, “If you straighten out the issue, I will do whatever you say!”


    Alex’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at her. Recollections of the time when


    he cleansed her body of the aphrodisiac came rushing into his mind. Coincidentally, it


    happened in this very car they were currently in too.


    “I will do my best, don’t worry,” Alex said. After a brief pause, he continued, “Oh, before I


    forget, has your father-inw been harassing youtely?”


    Hailey blushed and rolled her eyes. “Why do you have to talk about this? No, we cannot


    do it anymore! I cannot betray Charles’ love!”


    Alex’s expression froze. It was a misunderstanding!


    “Oh no, no! You have it all wrong! I was just concerned about you. Also, he might not


    have intended to do such a thing that day. Something evil influenced his actions, just


    like how you used to have really nasty dreams.”


    “What?! Are you taking his side now?” Hailey could not help feeling angry at the very


    mention of Zack Carter. “Fine, I will keep my mouth shut.” It wasn’t something he


    wanted to know about anyway.


    He drove very fast, urged by Hailey. Twenty minutester, they arrived at the entrance


    to the beauty salon.


    It was Alex’s first Visit, and he was immediately taken aback by the salon’s exterior and


    e architecture. It had been designed in a Gothic style and was as beautiful as one could


    imagine, reminding its visitors of a private, pristine garden.


    However, Hailey wasn’t in the mood to bring Alex around for a tour. She hastily entered


    the salon. Her employees were already waiting for her by the doors
