The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 489
“Take this!”
“Hurry and sign this settlement agreement and release my Anderson and Emma!”
Madame Joanne had a cold expression on her face as her vicious gaze swept across
everyone’s face in the room. She couldn’t stop thinking, ‘Just you guys wait. Today you
may have taken my money, but it won’ t take long for you guys to repay the full amount
of money plus interest!’
When ire saw the check, she was thrilled. She was about to reach out her hand to
snatch it and put it into her pocket. However, when she was halfway reaching the check,
Alex took the initiative and seized it.
At a nce, it was only sixty million dors.
“I am afraid the amount stated is wrong, Madame Joanne. Why is it only sixty million
dors?
Where did the remaining fifty million dors go? Did you embezzle them?”
Madame Joanne’s spiteful gaze was fixated on Alex. The person that she hated the
most was Alex. She wished clearly that she could tear his body into pieces, cut his flesh
into pieces, fry and grill them, and finally devour them.
However, soon after she smiled again. “How could an olddy like me be capable of
embezzling arge sum of fifty million dors?
However, our Assex Constructions
couldn’t find more cash in such a short time. Hence, for the remaining fifty million
dors, can we just mortgage the construction stocks we have? How about it, Mr.
Rockefeller? Can you have some mercy, please?”
Just moments ago, she acted resentfully but in the bat of an eye, she was amiable as a
spring sun. The drastic change in her attitude had surprised Dorothy and the rest.

However, they didn’t know that Madame Joanne saw Alex as a dying man.
Why would Madame Joanne get mad at a man who would die very soon?
Alex could not figure out what Madame Joanne was up to. Based on his understanding
of this olddy, he knew that she would never be so easily convinced. Yet, he was at a
loss for a while.
In the end, Dorothy made the decision to ept the deal.
Dorothy added, “That’s right, Mom, hurry and return it to me! It’s useless for you to hold
it. It just happens that ourpany is short of sixty million dors right now, and we
need the check for advance payment of projects with South Cali Structures. Otherwise,
we will have to borrow a bank loan, but look at how high the banks’ interest rates are
nowadays. If we were to do that, we will be ving away for the bank.”
ire took a look at the check, it was indeed a business check.
After examining the check and signing the mortgage agreement of fifty million dors,
Dorothy and her family put their signatures down on the settlement agreement.
With the settlement agreement, it would not be difficult for Benny to have Anderson and
Emma released, by spending some money to hire awyer for some interventions.
After leaving Dorothy-Alex Constructions, they entered the car. Benny asked Madame
Joanne, “When are you going to do it, Mom? Ourpany’s funds are running low, and
they won’tst long.”
Madame Joanne replied in a wicked tone, “Rx, I’ve contacted that elder sister. Just
wait for another three days, she will arrive in California. When the timees, that
Rockefeller brat will die, screaming in agony while that b*tch Dorothy will be fully
infested with maggots. As for ire and Beatrice, these two insignificant fools should be
easy targets.”
“Great, I will wait for three more days. Let me get prepared for what is toe,” Benny
said with an evil expression.
At the CEO’s office of Dorothy-Alex Constructions, Alex asked Dorothy, “You sure there
is no trap in the construction material contract?”
“No, it is legitimate.” She shook her head.
Alex frowned.
“This is weird, Madame Joanne suddenly became so courteous, and
she’s even willing to fork out more than a billion dors in exchange for the freedom of
her son and granddaughter? Assex Constructions is not argepany, but they
would suffer a great deal of damage by losing that much money… I don’t really trust her.
Be careful during this period of time, especially when you receive the construction
materialster. Look carefully if there is anything wrong with them.”
“I will!” Dorothy nodded eagerly.
Suddenly, ire snatched away the check from Alex’s grasp just when he was
distracted.
She held it by her chest. “Sixty million dors! I can reallyugh awake from my dream,
it has be mine so easily! None of you gets to take it away from me!”
Alex livid as he said, “Have you not learnt your lesson yet? Didn’t the twenty million
dor checkst time teach you a lesson?
What should we do if you were to make a
crease on the check again? Do you think that Madame Joanne will be willing to write a
new one for you?”
Shocked, ire hurriedly handled it in proper care. “There is no use holding onto the
check. It is a business check addressed to Dorothy-Alex Constructions. It’s just a nk
sheet of paper to you.” Alex was speechless at ire’s antics.
