《The Pinnacle Of Life》 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 1 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 1 As night fell in California, the Assex¡¯s residence was filled with brilliant light and cheerful noises. Today marked the birthday of Madame ire of the Assex family. Despite her age, she was still the epitome of elegance and beauty. More remarkably, was the beauty and grace of her two daughters. One of them was deemed California¡¯s most beautiful; and the other was said to be the best looking in her college. Countless men who had been drooling over their beauty seized the opportunity, and came to wish Madame ire a happy birthday. ¡°Madame ire, I present to you, The Pearl of the East Sea. Wearing it will help yourplexion. Happy birthday!¡± ¡°Madame, I present to you, a pair of jade scepters. Wishing you eternal youth and may all your wishes come true.¡± As the gifts were presented to her one by one, the look of delight could not be hidden on Madame ire¡¯s face. She was feeling overjoyed. Like a bolt from the blue, a young man wearing a pair of worn out jeans rushed into the vi looking distressed. He said to Madame ire, ¡°Mum, my mother is very sick and needs immediate attention. Could you please lend me half a million dors?¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Everyone was in shock and stared at the young man. The disgust on their faces was apparent. He had the audacity to not onlye in empty-handed, but to ask for half a million dors of hand out. Had he gone insane? A faint voice in the crowd asked, ¡°Who is this person?¡± A man in a suit arrogantly said, ¡°Who else can it be? He is Alex Rockefeller, the son-inw of the Assex family. The useless husband of Lady Dorothy! He is but a husband only in name, Lady Dorothy is a virgin. Otherwise, none of us will be here today!¡± The vi was bursting withughter as he finished his sentence. A beautifuldy sitting on the couch looked at Alex with disappointment. She was Alex¡¯s wife, Lady Dorothy Assex. They had been married for almost a year, but Alex¡¯s status in the family was worse than that of a nanny. He was never even allowed to enter his wife¡¯s room. A year ago, on the day of their wedding, Alex¡¯s parents were involved in a traffic ident. His father, William Rockefeller, was pronounced dead on the spot; his mother had been in aa up till now. To make matters worse, his father was framed for corruption, and hispany as well as all the properties had been seized. Alex was expelled from the house of Rockefeller. A man who was once treated as a young prince had turned into a nobody overnight. Naturally, his money-loving mother-in- law despised him to his very core. In order to afford his mother¡¯s medical bills, he had to sell off the only house that he had under his legal ownership, and it was still nowhere near enough to pay for the exorbitant fees incurred by her treatment. He had just been notified by the hospital that he had toe up with half a million dors for a critical operation immediately, otherwise, his mother would only have three days of life left. Alex had exhausted all other options, he had no choice but toe to beg the Assex family for money. Looking at Alex¡¯s desperate begging, embarrassing her in front of her guests on her birthday, Madame ire¡¯s face turned red with fury. She took a piece of her birthday cake and threw it at Alex and said, ¡°You are such garbage, the only thing you know how to do is beg for money from us every day. Do you think our money grows on trees? Is it not enough that we give you a stipend of ten thousand dors every month? You dare toe here begging for half a million dors? Your mother¡¯s medical expenses are like a bottomless pit. There¡¯s no need for an operation, just prepare for her funeral already!¡± Alex immediately let go of his tightly held hands. Lady Dorothy finally stood up and handed some tissue to Alex. She then said, ¡°Mom, you should be more civil about this, there¡¯s no need to get physical.¡± At this moment, Beatrice, the younger sister of Dorothy, said sneeringly, ¡°Sister, why are you still defending this trash? Look at him. Has he contributed a single cent since he came into our family? Has he ever given a gift to me and Mother? No! What else can he do apart from asking our family for money? I think you should leave him as soon as possible. There are many young, talented, and eligible men here today. Any one of them is a thousand fold better than him.¡± As they heard the words of Lady Beatrice Assex, all of the young men couldn¡¯t wait to speak up. ¡°I agree! Being married to this loser is truly unfortunate for Lady Dorothy, it¡¯s much better to get the marriage annulled immediately!¡± said one young man. ¡°I¡¯m willing to marry Lady Dorothy immediately, I will provide a dowry of a mansion in Beverly Hills worth thirty million dors and another twenty million dors in cash.¡± Someone else immediately shouted, ¡°Thirty million dors mansion in Beverly Hills? That has to be the cheapest home in the neighborhood! I am willing to give a mansion worth eighty million in Beverly Hills if you marry me, Lady Dorothy!¡± Another shouted, ¡°Me, me, me! As long as Lady Dorothy marries me, all of Jones¡¯s Family¡¯s billions in assets will be yours.¡± Alex¡¯s face had gone pale with humiliation. Dorothy¡¯s face had also turned pale. She was depressed because of the words her mother spoke next. Madame ire was pleased to see everyone offering such sky-high dowries for her daughter¡¯s hand in marriage and said, ¡°Gentlemen, please settle down and listen to what I have to say. Truth be told, my daughter Dorothy recently came upon a problem and identally ran into Sir Gaston Gates of Thousand Miles Corporation. Sir Gaston has threatened to run our Assex Construction out of business. Whoever is willing and able to help Dorothy out of this mess, you have my blessing for my daughter¡¯s hand in marriage.¡± She did not mention that Sir Gaston had asked for thepanionship of Lady Dorothy, otherwise, he would run the Assex family out of town. Alex was fuelled with anger and eximed loudly, ¡°I will not agree to that, Dorothy is my wife¡­¡± Madame ire pped Alex across his face and said, ¡°Who is your wife? Are you not aware that you are a nobody? You have no right to speak.¡± She asked again, ¡°Gentlemen, what do you say?¡± After hearing of the threat of Gaston Gates, all those who were vying to marry Lady Dorothy changed their attitude drastically and did not utter a single word. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was the leading corporation in California. Their assets were worth trillions of dors. A single word from the Gates family could make the world tremble. What was more frightening was the fact that Lex Gunther, the owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, known as Lord Lex, was the Don of California¡¯s underground world, with unfathomable power and influence. None of them were crazy enough to be making enemies of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate just for Lady Dorothy¡¯s hand in marriage. Witnessing the utter silence of the moment, Madame ire¡¯s heart sank a little with restlessness. Suddenly, someone said, ¡°Alright, I will settle this matter with Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and once it¡¯s done, I will marry Lady Dorothy.¡± Everyone¡¯s head turned and all eyes were on a young man wearing a Giorgio Armani suit with extraordinary temperament walking in with his head held high. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 2 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 2 ¡°Young Master Spark!¡± Madame ire quickly greeted the iing person enthusiastically. Everyone in the vi had respect written on their faces. He was Spark Rockefeller, the young director of Rockefeller Group. Although the real number was unknown to the world, it was estimated that the wealth of Rockefeller Group totaled up to three hundred billion dors, more than all of thembined. However when Alex saw this man, he charged towards him with angered eyes, grabbed him by the cor and yelled, ¡°You animal. Dorothy is your sister-inw. How can you call yourself a human when you want to marry your sister-inw?¡± As fate had it, Spark was Alex¡¯s cousin. He was the son of his uncle, John Rockefeller. Alex had deep hatred for them both. He recalled a little incident that urredst October, right after his parents were involved in the car ident, it was John who came out and framed his father for corruption and stole Rockefeller Group that was built by his parents, and kicked Alex out of the Rockefellers¡¯ residence. If it wasn¡¯t for them, Alex¡¯s situation would not be as dire as it currently was. Spark looked at Alex with contempt, and said, ¡°What sister-inw? You were kicked out of the Rockefellers¡¯ residence by your own grandfather, how can Lady Dorothy be considered as my sister-in- law? Besides, you do not deserve her.¡± Madame ire pulled Alex away and kicked him. She then turned around with a smile, said to Spark, ¡°Master Spark, I¡¯m so blessed a man of your esteem has managed to make time for me today.¡± Sparkughingly said, ¡°Madame, it is your birthday today, I came here to wish you personally. This is a 100-year-old ginseng, even I had to jump through hoops to buy it for three million dors, just to give it to you as a birthday gift.¡± Upon hearing that the ginseng was worth that much money, Madame ire could not contain her joy. She immediately received it with a greedy grin from ear to ear. As Spark gazed at Lady Dorothy, he was mesmerized by her beauty. It was obvious to everyone that he desired her. In fact, he had been yearning for her for a long time. He spoke softly, ¡°Dorothy, I¡¯ve heard about your little incident with the Gates family. It just so happens that my father has a close friend in the upper management of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I can help you to resolve this matter. Once it¡¯s done, I will give you a grand wedding beyond your imagination! Dorothy, I love you with all my heart and have loved you from the first time that I saw you. When we¡¯re married, the entire Rockefeller Group will be yours.¡± Lady Dorothy calmly shook her head and said, ¡°I will not get a divorce.¡± Madame ire was filled with excitement when she heard that the entire Rockefeller Group would belong to her daughter. She tugged at Lady Dorothy and said, ¡°Are you crazy? The odds ofnding a guy like Spark is lower than being struck by lightning. Why do you still want to stay married to this garbage?¡± Madame ire turned to Spark and said, ¡°Well, Mr. Spark, it seems like you are truly in love with my daughter. This is great. From now on, you will be my son-inw.¡± Spark was delighted to see Madame ire¡¯s reaction. ¡°I heard the news of your ill mother and you need half a million dors for her surgery. Here is the half a million dors, it is yours if you file for a divorce with Dorothy tomorrow.¡± Spark said to Alex as he nonchntly tossed an American Express card at Alex¡¯s feet. Alex¡¯s eyes turned red. He could not bear to take Spark¡¯s money. Lady Dorothy could not stand it any longer, she pulled Alex and said, ¡°I will go to the hospital with you to see your mother. I can¡¯t get the half a million dors right now, but I will find a way.¡± Madame ire pulled her and said, ¡°How will you figure it out? We don¡¯t have that much money, unless you sell the house! I am telling you now Dorothy, if you dare to step out of this door today, we will no longer be family!¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Lady Beatrice stood up and pushed Alex out of the door. ¡°Alex, you should leave now. You are embarrassing my sister with your presence. Get out of here!¡± Bang! Alex was out of the vi and the door was shut after him. He could hear Spark shouting from within the vi ¡°Alex, remember to get a divorce tomorrow!¡± and all the guests¡¯ughter filled the silent night. Alex was seething with rage and anxiously left the Assex¡¯s residence in despair. Although he was just a husband in name to Lady Dorothy, he was truly in love with her. They attended college together and had fallen in love with each other at that time. It was a match made in heaven, but everything came crashing down on their wedding day. He had hit rock bottom, losing his parents and his wealth. On top of that, he was despised by his mother-inw which made things much more difficult. At this very moment, a ck Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped beside him. ¡°Master Alex!¡± A man in a well-tailored suit in his fifties exited the car. Alex was confused as he did not know this man and said, ¡°Are you calling me? Do I know you?¡± The man walked up to him, took a slight bow and said, ¡°I am Lex Gunther of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I work for your father.¡± What? Alex was stunned. Just a few moments ago, he heard the Assex family anxiously selling their daughter to the highest bidder as they were worried that Thousand Miles Conglomerate would destroy them. Out of the blue, the infamous Lex Gunther of Thousand Miles Conglomerate suddenly appeared saying that he was working for his father. Was this all an borate prank? ¡°What business do you have with me?¡± Alex asked with a stoic face. ¡°I heard that you are facing some difficulties recently Mr. Rockefeller. I¡¯m here to offer you some help. The PIN is your birth date.¡± The old man said as he handed Alex a ck ATM card. Alex was bewildered, ¡°How much money is in the ount?¡± Lex Gunther answered, ¡°Not much, a measly ten billion dors.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 3 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 3 Alex was shocked. Ten billion dors? Who would pull this kind of prank? Rockefeller Group was formidable in its heyday, with a market value of three hundred billion, but most of them were fixed assets. From what he knew, even his father did not have ten billion dors cash in the bank. But more importantly, the old man imed that he worked for William Rockefeller. ¡°You said that you work for my father? That means that Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡­¡± Lord Lex nodded and said, ¡°Yes, the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate is yours, Master Alex.¡± p! Alex pped himself across the face. Lord Lex said in surprise, ¡°Master Alex, what are you doing?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I think I might be dreaming.¡± Lord Lex said, ¡°This is all true. Your father, Mr. William Rockefeller, saved my life. If it weren¡¯t for him, I would have been dead by now. Back then, it was Mr. Rockefeller who built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He then put me in charge of it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alex was dumbfounded, he still thought that it was just a dream. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was out of Rockefeller Group¡¯s league. It was rumored to have trillions of dors in assets, and it even had a huge influence in the underground world. Alex thought to himself, ¡®My father created such a behemoth? Yet I have never heard of it?¡¯ Lord Lex spoke again, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller was a genius, not long after he founded Rockefeller Group, he also built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. One for the light and the other in the shadows toplement each other! Besides that, Mr. Rockefeller asked me to give this to you.¡± With that being said, he took out a small antique box and handed it to Alex. With a perplexed look on his face, Alex replied, ¡°When did my father give it to you? Why are you only handing this over to me now?¡± Lord Lex said, ¡°Today is your twenty-fourth birthday. This is a birthday gift from your father. A year ago, Mr. Rockefeller had it arranged. Happy birthday, Master Alex!¡± Alex was dumbfounded. Lord Lex sighed and continued, ¡°Master Alex, your mother is in a dire situation right now. As for me, it is not convenient for me toe forward and help. You should hurry! If you need anything, just give a call. The number that I showed you just now is my personal phone number. I will always be on the line for you, master.¡± Lord Lex had a weary look on his face. After he was done speaking, he got into the Rolls Royce and left the scene. Alex was still in shock as if it was all a dream. The ATM card in his left hand and the small antique box in the right looked extremely real to him. As luck would have it, there was an ATM machine right next to him. Alex rushed over, inserted the card, and entered the PIN. The bnce showed $10,000,000,000¡ª10 billion dors! While looking at all the zeros, Alex¡¯s jaw dropped. He then opened up the antique box and found a pitch-ck ring inside. ¡°Why did Dad give this to me?¡± Alex questioned. He tried it on and it fit right on his finger. Now that he had the money, Alex rushed to the hospital. The most urgent business to take care of was to pay for his mother¡¯s surgery immediately. Her condition would be much better once the surgery was done. Alex¡¯s mother, Madame Brittany was hospitalized here and had been in aa since the traffic ident. The doctors pronounced her as brain dead and said that the chances of her ever waking up was only 5%. As Alex walked into the familiar hospital ward, he saw that it was empty. His mother was not in the bed. Where could she have gone? He quickly ran out of the ward and bumped into a familiar someone. ¡°Hey, are you crazy, are you blind? Oh, it¡¯s you. The famous piece of trash. Are you here to take advantage of me by bumping into me on purpose? Is it because you can¡¯t touch your own wife at home? Well good news, you used to look down on me, but now you don¡¯t even deserve me!¡± A woman dressed in a nurse¡¯s uniform loudly eximed. Her name was Chloe, an acquaintance of Alex¡¯s. Back in his college days, Alex had dated Chloe for a month. He had then discovered that Chloe was a gold digger and was flirting with many others behind his back and broke up with her. ¡°Where is my mother? Where has she gone?¡± Alex asked with urgency in his tone as he had no time to waste with her. Chloe smiled and said, ¡°Haha, you should ask yourself that. You can¡¯t even look after your own mother. You are useless. Do you only know how to beg for money from your wife and mother-inw like a dog?¡± Alex grabbed Chloe by the cor and yelled, ¡°I¡¯m asking you again, where is my mother? Where did you bring her to? You are the nurse on duty here, how can you not know?¡± Seeing him shouting with rage, Chloe was frightened. She replied, ¡°There¡­ She¡¯s right over there.¡± Alex looked at where Chloe pointed and there was a hospital bed in the aisle, and the person lying on the bed was his mother, Madame Brittany. ¡°Mom!¡± Alex let go of Chloe and ran over with his eyes turning red. Who was the one responsible for treating his mother like a piece of garbage? Alex was furious, ¡°Chloe, did you do this?¡± Chloe remembered that this was the hospital she worked at, why should she be afraid of him? He was the one who should be afraid of her! She snorted coldly, ¡°So what if it was me? You are the one who is poor, can¡¯t afford to pay her bills. This is a private hospital. Do you think we are running a charity? If you can¡¯t afford it, the only option is to leave! What are you still doing here? You are not special. If you have the money, then pay up! If you can¡¯t afford it, I¡¯m sorry but to tell you that you need to get your mother out of the hospital now!¡± Chloe looked at Alex with disdain. Then she sneered, ¡°Hey, how about this? Go back to grovel at your mother-inw and kneel down to your wife and beg them a few more times, maybe they will change their minds and give you some money. But that nasty woman Dorothy Assex might only give you a hundred dors. If you kneel and beg me, I will pay for your mother¡¯s hospital bed.¡± A woman¡¯s voice could be heard saying, ¡°Even if he kneels to me every day at home, he would never kneel to you for money.¡± Alex turned his head. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. He was shocked to see that it was Dorothy. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 4 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 4 Alex was stunned as he did not expect her to show up. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lady Dorothy looked at Chloe, then at Alex, with sadness in her eyes and said, ¡°I have already deposited half a million dors in your ount, that is all I can do.¡± Alex was surprised, ¡°Where did you get the money? Did you get it from Spark? Dorothy, you cannot take the money. What will happen to us after taking his money? Moreover, I have the money, more than you can imagine. I can take care of your problem.¡± p! Dorothy pped Alex across his face and said, ¡°Was ten months of day-dreaming not enough for you? Can you stop this nonsense? Forget it and do as you please. Tomorrow, we will go our separate ways!¡± After she¡¯s done speaking, Dorothy turned around and left the hospital abruptly. Alex tried to chase after her but was stopped by Chloe. She had a vile smile on her face. ¡°Oh my, what is going on here? Why is your cousin, Spark, involved? Could it be that Dorothy wanted to help you and decided to earn the money by spending a night with Spark? Oh my, this is such a greatedy!¡± Alex pped Chloe in the face. ¡°I will kill you if you keep spouting nonsense!¡± ¡°How dare you p me!¡± Chloe said as she rushed at Alex. The head nurse who saw what was going on rushed over and stopped Chloe. ¡°What are you two doing? Hold your horses, Chloe. Fighting in this hospital? Do you want me to fire you?¡± After being reprimanded by the head nurse, Chloe came to her senses, she pointed at Alex and said, ¡°This bastard pped me! Why can¡¯t I reciprocate?¡± The head nurse knew Alex. She asked, ¡°Why did you hit her?¡± Alex pointed at his mother and coldly said, ¡°She left my mother here like a piece of garbage, and you dare to ask me why? There¡¯s no reason for her to just leave my mother here! She¡¯s human, not trash. I know that there¡¯s no more money in my payment ount, but it does not mean that I can¡¯t afford to pay any longer.¡± The head nurse just only realized Lady Brittany was left in the corridor. She was furious and screamed. ¡°What in the world are you doing Chloe? Who gave you the authority to do this? Apologize to Mr. Alex and immediately return the patient to the ward.¡± Chloe wouldn¡¯t dare to defy the head nurse, so she could only obediently apologize and bring Lady Brittany back to her ward. Alex then went to find his mother¡¯s primary physician to arrange for the surgery as soon as possible. Lady Brittany¡¯s primary doctor was Dr. Cheryl and she was only twenty-six years old. Yet, she was already a renowned doctor with a great track record. She was the granddaughter of California¡¯s famous genius Dr. James Coney. Not only was she smart, she also had looks that would bring Troy to its knees. Alex was feeling anxious and troubled not only about the condition of his mother, but as well as the troubles that Dorothy was facing. Without a thought, he stormed into Dr. Cheryl¡¯s office without knocking and was shocked to see a beautiful woman with skin as fair as Snow White changing her clothes. Her hourss figure captivated him. Their eyes met and locked for a full three seconds before the woman could let out a scream. She quickly covered her body with her medical gown. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Dr. Cheryl! I swear it is not intentional. I¡¯m no peeping tom.¡± Alex apologized profusely. He hastily turned around and closed the door. The beautiful woman was Doctor Cheryl Coney, his mother¡¯s primary physician. She was changing her clothes as she was getting ready to get off work. Leaning against the door, Alex patted his chest and gasped. The scene that he just saw was still lingering in his mind, muttering to himself, ¡°Such a beautiful figure¡­¡± Suddenly, the door swung open and Alex almost fell on the ground face first. Then he saw Dr. Cheryl¡¯s mesmerizing face staring angrily at him. ¡°What were you saying?¡± Dr. Cheryl asked. ¡°Ah, that¡­¡± Alex was dumbfounded. He couldn¡¯t remember what important business he had with Dr. Cheryl. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, I was going to say was that idiot of a nurse Chloe left my mother in the corridor. If anything happened to my mother, I want her to pay me back with her life.¡± With that, he seeded in capturing Dr. Cheryl¡¯s attention. She was surprised and said, ¡°That happened?¡± She quickly ran over to the ward and saw Lady Brittany was being brought back to the ward. She immediately yelled at Nurse Chloe. Throughout the incident, Chloe¡¯s head stayed low and she dared not to say a single word. Then, Dr. Cheryl checked on Lady Brittany¡¯s condition and said to Alex, ¡°In light of your mother¡¯s condition, my rmendation is that we have the surgery as soon as possible. Do you have the money? If you are facing difficulties, I can lend you the money.¡± ¡°Ah, there¡¯s no need to do that. I have the money. Thank you, Dr. Cheryl.¡± Alex didn¡¯t expect that Dr. Cheryl would be kind enough to do that. Half a million dors was no small sum, even for a famous doctor like her. Chloe who overheard the conversation was also shocked and thought to herself, ¡°Is Dr. Cheryl stupid? She offered to lend money to this garbage, what does she see in him?¡± Dr. Cheryl answered, ¡°Great! I¡¯m d to hear that. I will arrange for your mother¡¯s surgery the first thing in the morning tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Alex gratefully said. ¡°Follow me, let¡¯s discuss some of the details to prepare for tomorrow¡¯s operation.¡± Dr. Cheryl told Alex and they both left the ward. She mumbled on and on, mostly about the preparations needed before and after the surgery, time arrangements and finally said, ¡°Please be early for tomorrow. There¡¯s nothing to worry about. I will personally do the surgery. The sess rate is very high! Moreover¡­¡± Alex was listening attentively. Dr. Cheryl suddenly whispered in his ears, ¡°Forget the image you saw in my office! Or I¡¯ll make you pay!¡± Alex nodded promptly signing to show that he¡¯ll make sure that the matter will only be between them. ¡°Go away!¡± she continued. Dr. Cheryl watched as Alex went back to his mother¡¯s ward, and she sighed. Of course, she did not fall for him, but was deeply touched by his filial piety. Over the past ten months, Alex had visited his mother every single day without fail. She knew only a few people would be able to do that. Soon, Alex ran to the payment counter to prepay one million dors to the hospital for his mother¡¯s medical expenses. The transaction went through without a hitch. Alex felt surreal when he took back the ATM card. Just like that, his life took another great turn. He was a master once again. Only this time, he¡¯s even richer than he used to be. ¡°Spark, just you wait. How dare you have such thoughts about my wife! I will show you no mercy!¡± While he thought of Spark, he remembered that Dorothy gave him the money for his mother¡¯s medical bills. He took Spark¡¯s money, that despicable Spark! Was he taking the opportunity to sleep with her? ¡°Damn it!¡± The thought of it filled him with rage. He quickly called Dorothy but her mobile phone was turned off. He felt that something was off. He immediately rang Madame ire, ¡°Mom, is Dorothy home?¡± Madame ire was furious when she heard his voice. ¡°Dorothy is none of your business! You still have the audacity to call me? Don¡¯t ever look for us again under any circumstances.¡± ¡°Mom, you cannot let Dorothy and Spark be together. I will take care of the money problem as well as Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Please leave them to me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make such ridiculous promises!¡± Madame ire angrily said, ¡°If you can take care of these problems, pigs might fly. Let me be clear, Spark is my son-inw, Dorothy and Spark are spending the night. You are nothing but a cuckold.¡± Click! Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Alex¡¯s felt as if his brain exploded upon hearing this. He felt disoriented as if the world was spinning under his feet. Madame ire had hung up the phone. Alex felt like his soul had left him. Although he was rich once again, it all meant nothing if Dorothy was not with him. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 5 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 5 Alex returned to the Assex family¡¯s vi as if he were a walking dead. Even though it was called a vi, it was just an unremarkable little house. After demolishing the old family home, a three-story building was built from the ground up. It was a far cry from a real vi. Alex looked up and saw that the light in Dorothy¡¯s room was on. ¡®Is Dorothy at home?¡¯ Alex wondered to himself. ¡®She¡¯s not with Spark after all?¡¯ At that moment of realization, it was as if a huge burden was lifted from his chest. He saw hope and realized Madame ire¡¯s words could not be trusted. She was deceitful. She liked to make things up just to fulfill the fantasies in her head. Alex rushed through the doors into the vi. He saw Madame ire in the living room, video calling someone while applying nail polish on her toes with her feet up in the air. She was humming happily. Alex felt overwhelmed, knowing that Madame ire was thrilled that her daughter was going to get remarried. She had forgotten all about the threats from Gaston Gates. Upon seeing Alex, Madame ire jumped out of the couch and said, ¡°Who let this person in? You still dare toe back here? You are going to get divorced from Dorothy tomorrow. Get out!¡± Alex ignored herments and quickly rushed up the stairs. He wanted to make sure that Dorothy was in her room. He was determined not to lose her. Alex tried to open the door, but it was locked. He knocked hard on the door and begged, ¡°Dorothy, please open the door. I know that you¡¯re in there. I have something important to tell you.¡± Madame ire followed Alex up with her bare feet and yelled, ¡°You garbage of a person, get out of our house. Who gave you permission toe up here? You think you have the right to be here?¡± ¡°I must see Dorothy,¡± Alex said with a firm voice.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Did I not tell you that she went to spend the night with Spark? Maybe she¡¯ll be pregnant with his child. Stop being a burden to my daughter and our family. If you stop my daughter from marrying Spark, I will hit you!¡± Madame ire said. Alex grunted. If his snobbish mother-inw knew now that he had ten billion dors in the bank and a trillion dors empire, how would she feel? However, he decided it was not the right time to reveal it to her. In time, he would let her know of his newfound wealth and influence! Suddenly, the door to Dorothy¡¯s room swung open. Dorothy was at the door and said, ¡°Mom, can you watch your mouth? Even if you have no shame, I do! Who is spending the night with Spark? I¡¯m not divorced yet. If word spreads, how can I face anyone?¡± As she spoke, Dorothy slowly came out of the room. She looked at Alex without showing any emotions on her face. Madame ire quickly interjected as she saw Dorothy became unsettled, ¡°I¡¯m just telling him so that he would give up and never bother us again.¡± Alex was relieved to know that he was not toote. With a smile on his face, he assured Dorothy, ¡°Darling, I¡¯m so d that you did not spend the night with Spark.¡± He was filled with hope. He felt like a brand-new person, who had the power to protect those that he loved. Alex thought to himself, ¡®My darling Dorothy! You¡¯ve never given up on me and endured so much for me over the past ten months. You can depend on me for the rest of our lives.¡¯ Not understanding the meaning behind Alex¡¯s smile, Dorothy felt disappointed and angry. How could he be smiling after what had transpired? Had he really lost his mind?! She angrily said, ¡°What are you smiling about? Even if I¡¯m not with him today, I might be tomorrow. Are you happy about that?¡± The expression on Alex¡¯s face changed immediately. He shook his head and said, ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I mean. I just want to let you know that I¡¯m not who I used to be! I admit that I had lost myself for the past ten months. Right now, I need to apologize and also thank you for not giving up on me. Finally, I can stand on my own two feet, I can protect you. That Gaston from Thousand Miles Conglomerate is nothing in front of me. I will avenge you. From now on, nobody will harass you¡­¡± Just as Alex was speaking enthusiastically, Madame ire pped him across his face. ¡°Are you hallucinating?¡± asked Madame ire, ¡°Are you brain dead? You must have gone insane. Why don¡¯t you just tell us that you own Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Get out of our home now before you spread your craziness around here!¡± Alex red at Madame ire. He wanted to tell her that he truly was the owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate so badly. However, even if he said it, no one would believe him, just as Dorothy thought he was crazy when he told her he had ten billion dors. It was indeed difficult for anyone, even himself, to believe it was true. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°Dorothy, just give me one day. Trust me. I can take care of everything. I¡­ I found an old friend of my father who is willing to help me. The half a million dors that you gave me, is it from Spark? I am going to repay him right now.¡± Alex turned around and wanted to go look for Spark after finishing his sentence. ¡°Hold on!¡± Dorothy said, ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± Alex answered, ¡°Dorothy, I¡¯m begging you, just trust me this once. Don¡¯t agree to Spark¡¯s proposal. One day is all I need. Let me prove it to you! If I fail, I would agree to a divorce! I do not need the half a million dors from Spark.¡± Dorothy just looked at him stoically. She felt like he was a different person. She sighed and said, ¡° I did not take the money from Spark. I sold off my wedding ring for the money.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Alex almost was about to faint as he learned that Dorothy had sold off the wedding ring the both of them had picked together, but was relieved knowing that the money was not Spark¡¯s and asked, ¡°Who did you sell it to? I¡¯m going to buy it back right now.¡± Dorothy shook her head and said, ¡°I sold it for half a million dors, but if you want to buy it back, it may cost more than a million dors. Even if you did not use the money for your mother¡¯s medical bills, there¡¯s no way you can afford to buy it back. Maybe our life and marriage are destined to end. Please wake up Alex, stop dreaming! I hope you can live well without me.¡± As Dorothy finished her sentence, she turned around and mmed the door. Tears were running down her cheeks. Alex said, ¡°No, I won¡¯t allow that to happen. Who did you sell it to? I will buy it back right away! Even if it costs me a hundred million dors, I would still buy it. Don¡¯t worry, I will not let our marriage end.¡± ¡°L.G. Balfour!¡± Dorothy replied from behind the door. ¡°Okay! You have to wait for me!¡± Alex eximed excitedly. Dorothy shook her head and thought to herself, ¡°This man must have gone mad. He really thinks that he has the hundred million dors?¡± Madame ire chased Alex out of their home. ¡°Rockefeller, I¡¯m telling you right now, you are getting a divorce with Dorothy tomorrow!¡± If you dare to interfere with Dorothy marrying Spark, I wille after you!¡± Alex took a deep breath and quickly rushed to L.G. Balfour. L.G. Balfour was the premier jewelry store in California. There¡¯s only one store in California, so it was easy to locate. It¡¯s already half-past eight as Alex reached the store. Luckily the store had not closed as there were quite a few customers still browsing inside. The store was enormous, with a total of three storeys. They were stocked to the brim with all kinds of expensive and exclusive jewelry. It was difficult to estimate the total value of all their goods. The security measurements in the store were absolutely top-notch. Alex wanted to look for a store assistant, but he ran into a familiar face. It was the nurse from the hospital¡ªhis ex-girlfriend, Chloe. Chloe was taken aback when she saw him and immediately walked towards him and said in a yful tone, ¡°My my, did I step on dog poop today? Why does my luck have to be so terrible to run into you again? What are you doing here? You cannot afford the jewelry here!¡± Chloe was not in her nurse uniform and was wearing a tight dress that disyed her alluring figure. She was with an obese man in a suit and leather shoes, and she was hanging on him as if she were part of his body. Alex replied, ¡°It is none of your business!¡± Chloe sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t forget what your wife had to do just to get the money for your mother¡¯s surgery. Don¡¯t tell me that you are using the money to buy a gift for her? You should just go home! This is not a ce that wees a pauper like you.¡± Alex angrily replied, ¡°You cannot even begin to imagine how much money I have. Would you believe that I can buy this right now?¡± pointing at the ne on the billboard, named Love in a Fallen City, with the price tag of thirty million dors. Chloeughed out loud and said, ¡°Are you daydreaming? If you can afford it, I will kneel down and lick your feet!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 6 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 6 Alex shook his head and sneered, ¡°Chloe, you are not qualified to lick my toes. You should go home and this fattie¡¯s toes. If you make him happy, he might buy you two thousand dors worth of rubbish.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Chloe¡¯s anger was so intense, she¡¯s like a ticking time bomb about to go off. The fattie finally chased Chloe, when he was about to coax her to bed, Alex made a fool out of him. The fattie said, ¡°You penniless bastard, take a petty look at yourself, do you think you can afford this ne with a thirty million dors price tag? What?! Do you think it is only three thousand dors?¡± ¡°What if I can afford to buy it? Can you afford one? Will you buy one too?¡± Asked Alex. Alex had made up his mind to purchase the jewelry. He had owed Lady Dorothy Assex too much for the past ten months. Buying a ne worth thirty million dors might make her happy, and gain her trust in his capability to protect her. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. The fattie said angrily, ¡°Where did this idiote from, a bunch of nonsense, Chloe, how did you know this kind of person? It demotes me every time talking to him.¡± Alex sneered, ¡°Tell me directly if you do not have money, there is no need to make excuses. I won¡¯t make things difficult for you. After all, there is only one ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯, only my wife is worthy of it, your girlfriend is unworthy of the ne. It is better if you could just buy the one beside it, which is three million dors, how about it, want to bet?¡± ¡°Wow, who do you think you are to threaten me?! Bring it on! But what if you can¡¯t afford it?¡± the fattie yelled. Alex didn¡¯t have the chance to speak yet. Chloe said, ¡°If you can¡¯t afford it, kneel and address me as your mother three times!¡± Alex stared at her coldly, ¡°Got it!¡± They randomly asked the nearest shop assistant. And they found out that they needed to go to the third floor if they wanted to buy the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne. The three of them arrived at the third floor in a blink of an eye, found the counter, and saw the person in charge of this ne was an acquaintance. She was Lady Dorothy¡¯s best friend, Cassandra. ¡°What? You want to buy the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne? Are you out of your mind?¡± After Cassandra heard about it, she looked at Alex and felt so angry. ¡°Alex, I don¡¯t understand, what right do you have to hold onto Dorothy, be a man, divorce Lady Dorothy immediately, don¡¯t be a burden to her anymore! Don¡¯t you know, Dorothy came to me a while ago and sold her wedding ring for half a million dors for your mother¡¯s medical expenses. Now you are telling me that you want to buy a thirty million dor ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne, do you think I am an idiot to believe in you?¡± Alex knew that something bad would happen if he met her, as she mocked him all the time. Chloe and the fattie that stood next to her burst intoughter. Chloe said, ¡°Alex, did you hear that your wife even sold the wedding ring, and you are still here, pretending to be rich? Just admit that you can¡¯t afford it. Kneel, lick the soles of my feet, and address me as your mother three times!¡± As soon as she finished talking, she took off her shoes and stretched out her feet. Alex didn¡¯t even take a nce at her, and said to Cassandra, ¡°What if I can afford to buy it?¡± Cassandra furiously replied, ¡°If you can afford to buy it, I will kneel before you and address you as my father!¡± Snap! Alex took out his credit card. ¡°Swipe the card!¡± Cassandra grabbed the bank card, threw it on Alex, and said resentfully, ¡°Would you cut it out, already? Stop interfering with my work here. Alex, I know you well enough! Don¡¯t even bother to think about that thirty million dors ne, you can¡¯t even afford a three thousand dors ne!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, I will ask the security guard to chase you out of here.¡± Alex frowned, ¡°I¡¯m here to buy things, why would you want to chase me out? Cassandra, are you trying to get yourself fired?¡± Cassandra waved, and the two security guards who had already noticed what happened earlier rushed over. A security guard said, ¡°Cassandra, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Cassandra said, ¡°This guy is here to cause trouble, please chase him out.¡± Alex said coldly, ¡°Cassandra, don¡¯t be shameless, I¡¯m here to buy things, not to cause trouble. If your boss gets to know about your service attitude, do you think you can continue to work here? Aren¡¯t you scared of me filing aint about you to your boss?¡± Cassandra red at him, ¡°Well if you wish to buy the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne, you will need the VIP membership card of L.G. Balfour or the star membership card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. If you have one of those, I can sell it to you.¡± ¡°Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± Alex was frozen for a while. One of the security guards said, ¡°Yes, L.G. Balfour is a subsidiary of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Think about the consequences, if you try to cause trouble here.¡± Alex frowned, he did not have any of those membership cards. Chloe teased, ¡°Are you shocked? ept your defeat. How about you kneel and lick the soles of my feet? This ce belongs to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. If you are trying to cheat out of a bet, you are trying to offend Lord Lex Gates. Deal with it.¡± Alex said, ¡°Give me a few minutes.¡± He took out his cell phone, dialed Lord Lex Gates¡¯s number, and said, ¡°I am at L.G. Balfour and I wish to purchase the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne, but I don¡¯t have a membership card, so I can¡¯t buy it.¡± Lord Lex Gates said immediately, ¡°Master, please give me two minutes, I will deal with it immediately.¡± Alex hung up the phone and nced at everyone, ¡°Please give me two minutes.¡± Cassandra sneered, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you two minutes to see what kind of tricks you are trying to y. If you are trying to cause trouble here intentionally, I will beat the hell out of you!¡± Finally, in less than two minutes. A middle-aged man hurried over. Cassandra and the two security guards saw that person and immediately greeted him respectfully. They eximed, ¡°Hello, Mr. Jefferson!¡± It turned out that he was the general manager of L.G. Balfour, Jefferson. Cassandra thought that Jefferson hade to check out what happened after hearing the noise. She quickly pointed at Alex and said, ¡°Mr. Jefferson, this guy came here to cause a fuss. He doesn¡¯t have a membership card but kept saying that he wished to buy the treasure of our store, the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡® ne. The security guards will chase him out from here now.¡± Without a word, Jefferson pped her in her face. ¡°You are ridiculous!¡± ¡°He is the Supreme VIP of L.G. Balfour!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was bbergasted and speechless. Meanwhile, Cassandra who was covering her face, was stunned. Jefferson walked up to Alex and said respectfully, ¡°Master Alex, I¡¯m sorry for beingte.¡± Alex looked at him, ¡°So, can I buy this ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne now?¡± Jefferson bowed and said, ¡°Yes, of course, you can. Oh wait you can have it if you like it, you don¡¯t need to pay anything for it.¡± ¡°What?¡± Chloe was speechless. Looking back and forth at Alex and the ne, there was envy in her eyes. The thirty million dors ne was being given away just like that. Why? Wasn¡¯t Alex a piece of trash? How was he qualified for L.G. Balfour to give him such an expensive gift? ¡°No, I will buy it myself!¡± Alex took out his ck credit card and threw it at Cassandra. ¡°Please, swipe the card!¡± ¡°Remember what you have said just now, I will be your father after I have bought the ne!¡± Cassandra took the credit card and her face turned pale. Alex pointed at Chloe and Fattie and said to Jefferson, ¡°Also, these two people here, they ced a bet with me just now that if I bought the ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ ne, they will buy the three million dors ne shown on the billboard. You bet, you pay, or you are showing no respect to Lord Lex.¡± The security immediately blocked the two people, intentionally or unintentionally. One minuteter. Beep¡­ Payment sessful. When Cassandra handed the credit card back to Alex, her hands were slightly shaking. Thirty million dors was paid sessfully. How much credit was actually avable on this card? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 7 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 7 Cassandra was startled. Unfortunately, the bnce of the card could not be disyed on the machine. ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable, why does Mr. Jefferson respect him so much, even saying that he is a supreme VIP, I do not think there has been any supreme card in L.G. Balfour?¡± Her mind was filled with questions. She could not seem to understand the reason. Alex had been living off the Assex¡¯s family and served the Assex¡¯s family as a nanny. Why was there such a huge contrast? In the past, Alex had even poured water for her to wash her feet! Chloe yelled, ¡°Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible. The machine must be broken. How can this garbage of a human have thirty million dors? He shouldn¡¯t even be able to withdraw three thousand dors! You guys, double-check the transaction! Hurry up!¡± Jefferson red at Chloe. ¡°So, are you trying to go back on your words here in the subsidiaries of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate? How dare you scold Master Alex? You dug your own grave! Guards, p her!¡± Thousand Miles Conglomerate had the most influence over the underworld in California. Of course, their security guards had to be extraordinary. Right after receiving the orders, Chloe was pinned down to the countertop and was pped a dozen times in a row. Her face was swollen and looked like a pig¡¯s head. The fattie that stood next to her didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. ¡°Fattie, don¡¯t forget about the jewelry with a three million dors price tag!¡± Alex reminded him. The fattie was about to cry. To him, three million dors was not a small amount. However being confronted by the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, he didn¡¯t have the guts to say no. He answered promptly, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll buy it right away.¡± When Chloe heard it, her eyes shone with excitement. After shopping for half of a day here, they only bought a bracelet for two thousand dors. She wanted to buy a jade bracelet, but the fattie had refused, he said that he would buy it after tonight¡­ Now that he was going to purchase a piece of jewelry for three million dors, she should thank Alex! As she was about to reach out to the jewelry, the fattie pushed her away. ¡°Go away, who said that this was for you?¡± Chloe shouted, ¡°If it was not for me, then whom is it for?¡± Fattie replied, ¡°I¡¯m buying this for my mother. From now on, this will be my family¡¯s heirloom. You are not worthy of being my wife. You¡¯re just a b*tch, stop daydreaming!¡± Chloe was furious. She lunged herself at Fattie and started a fight with him. Finally, Jefferson gave an order to drag and kick them all out. Cassandra looked at Alex with mixed emotions, atst, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°I don¡¯t understand. How can you be so rich, being able to casually buy a piece of jewelry worth thirty million dors, but yet allow Lady Dorothy to sell her wedding ring for the sake of your mother? Have you been lying to her to manipte her feelings?¡± Alex answered, ¡°That is my business, you won¡¯t understand.¡± Then he said, ¡°Bring out that wedding ring!¡± Jefferson said, ¡°Hurry up! How dare you! You should quickly take it out when the master has asked. Otherwise, you are going to pay the price.¡± Cassandra dared not to hesitate, she hurriedly took the ring out, and said, ¡°ording to thepany¡¯s policy, thepany paid half a million dors for this diamond ring. If you wish to purchase it back, the selling price must be doubled, so you will have to pay one million dors for it.¡± Jefferson pped Cassandra again and cursed, ¡°Double? Are you out of your mind? Don¡¯t you know Master Alex¡¯s identity? He is the owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Does he need to pay for a ring like this?¡± This guy was very rough and didn¡¯t look like a general manager of a jewelry store. He must be from the underworld. Cassandra¡¯s eyes bulged, doubting her ears. Mr. Jefferson had said that Alex owned the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate. How was it possible? He was not a loser. He was the secret boss after all. Alex said, ¡°That¡¯s enough Mr. Jefferson, no need to publicize this, it will only create unpleasant rumors.¡± Jefferson quickly pped himself. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Master. It was my mistake. Please deal with me as you please.¡± Alex was speechless. After that, he looked at Cassandra. ¡°What have you promised?¡± Cassandra was startled. After that, she lowered her head and said in extreme humiliation, ¡°Father!¡± Alex said, ¡°Remember, I don¡¯t want anyone to know my identity, including Lady Dorothy. Do make sure you keep it under wraps, otherwise, you will face the consequences.¡± Cassandra was aware of how powerful Thousand Miles Conglomerate was. She quickly nodded her head when she heard his words. Jefferson said, ¡°Master, shall we¡­¡± With his thumb, he drew an invisible line across his neck. When Cassandra saw and understood what it meant, she was so scared that her heart skipped a beat! Alex said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, she is my wife¡¯s best friend. Also, she is now my daughter. Give her a chance. Let her work here and please take good care of her.¡± ¡°Alright, then. Let¡¯s promote her to the manager on the third floor, what do you think?¡± Jefferson asked. ¡°Do as you please,¡± Alex replied. Alex carried jewelry worth millions of dors in his hands. Under the escort of Cassandra and Jefferson, he walked out of L.G. Balfour. Cassandra was dumbfounded. It was a blessing in disguise that she was promoted to manager. The way she looked at Alex had changed. Right at that moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared in front of them. The person in the car was Lord Lex Gunther. Cassandra saw Lord Lex escort Alex into the car respectfully before it drove away. Alex said to Lord Lex Gunther, ¡°Lord Lex, I have a favor to ask.¡± Lord Lex Gunther replied promptly, ¡°Young Master, your wish is mymand. I am always at your service.¡± ¡°Do you happen to know this person by the name Sir Gaston in Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Recently he signed a contract with my wife¡¯spany, Assex Constructions. At the reception, I saw him bullying my wife and asked her to sleep with him.¡± ¡°Son of a b*tch!¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Lord Lex Gunther was furious. ¡°Lady Dorothy got involved?! He practically signed his own death warrant, what is his full name?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Sir Gaston was all that I know. Is there no such person by your side?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t recall anyone with the family name of Gaston, but I will check it out right away. I will get to the bottom of this by tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for your news.¡± Alex nodded, and he said, ¡°By the way, about the fact that my dad is the founder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, don¡¯t publicize it. Keep it in the dark as it has always been and stop addressing me as master from now on, just Mr. Alex.¡± Lord Lex Gunther was stunned, then nodded. ¡°Very well, keeping it low may keep you safe. There are lots of opponents in Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I¡¯m afraid that it might lead to you and Lady Dorothy. I will address you Mr. Alex when we are outside.¡± Alex¡¯s eyes fluttered. He hadn¡¯t thought about it before. Come to think of it, he should try to keep a low profile. Lord Lex Gunther¡¯s name was well known to be the greatest gang leader in California. He must be living life under the glint of armors and sh of swords. He must have countless enemies. After that, Lord Lex Gunther took out another card. ¡°This is Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s Supreme VIP Card. Expenses in all the subsidiaries will be waived. Take it, it will save you a lot of trouble and may hide your identity.¡± ¡°Okay! I¡¯m leaving!¡± said Alex. ¡°Master, let me drive you home, going to the Assex¡¯s residence?¡± Lord Lex replied. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Alex pondered. He surely cannot enter the Assex¡¯s residence now as his mother-inw might lop his head off. ¡°Send me to a hotel, any hotel will do.¡± ¡°The Golden Age of Youth Hotel it is!¡± Lord Lex eximed. ¡°Is that necessary?¡± asked Alex. That was the most expensive and luxurious hotel in California. Lord Lex Gunther smiled and said, ¡°Master, that¡¯s your property too!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 8 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 8 As hey down on the bed of the most luxurious presidential suite in Ther Golden Age of Youth Hotel, Alex couldn¡¯t fall asleep. What happened today was too overwhelming. He didn¡¯t expect that his father had kept such a big secret, Thousand Miles Conglomerate, most powerful in the underworld of California. Would that mean that his father was the strongest underground boss too? Was it true that his death was due to a traffic ident? Or there¡¯s more to this than met the eye? Late in the midnight hours, when he finally fell into a deep sleep, he was woken up by his phone rm. He got up and rushed to the hospital. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g In the end, when he arrived at the hospital, he saw several doctors gathered around his mother¡¯s bed. Among them, Dr. Cheryl Coney, a beautiful doctor with a particrly hot body, was there too. He was shocked. He thought something bad happened to his mother. He quickly asked, ¡°Dr. Cheryl, what¡¯s wrong with my mother? Has her condition gotten worse?¡± Dr. Cheryl in a white coat and a mask turned around and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, her condition did not worsen, but has shown signs of improvement.¡± Alex froze for a while, and said in surprise, ¡°Really?¡± Dr. Cheryl nodded. ¡°Yes, before this we thought that your mother¡¯s condition was bad, and she needed surgery right away. Unexpectedly, it quickly stabilized, and all the indicators returned to normal. Your mother has a very strong will to survive. This is great.¡± ¡°So, there is no need for surgery?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do an inspection first. If everything is fine, there is no need for surgery. The surgery has its risks too.¡± Two hourster. The inspection report was out. Cheryl nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s good, no surgery is needed, and ording to our observation, your mother¡¯s chances of waking up has increased, indicating that she has her consciousness, and I will continue to treat her by acupuncture.¡± Alex was overjoyed and hugged her tightly. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Dr. Cheryl!¡± He was delighted. This was the first time that his mother¡¯s situation had shown any improvement in ten months. Dr. Cheryl, whom Alex suddenly hugged, frowned immediately. She perceived that he didn¡¯t intend to harass her, so she didn¡¯t me him, but patted him on his back, ¡°Okay, take good care of your mother, keep it up!¡± ¡°Okay,¡± said Alex. ¡°Can you let go of me?¡± Dr. Cheryl asked. ¡°Okay!¡± Alex replied. ¡°Let go now!¡± she eximed. ¡°No, Dr. Cheryl, your hair is stuck in my clothes¡­¡± Alex answered At the same time, at the Assex¡¯s vi¡­ Spark Rockefeller came in his Lamborghini, to see Lady Dorothy again. The car honked. Madame ire, who was wearing ck pajamas, opened the door and greeted him, ¡°Oh, Spark, my dear son-inw, it felt like I haven¡¯t seen you a long time, even though I haven¡¯t seen you for just one night, mom missed you so much.¡± She wore no make-up, and her hair tousled. She still looked as young as thirty years old, with a more matured temptation. Seeing such a lively and charming woman, Spark was so eager to rush forward and take her into his arms, but fortunately, he resisted, he thought in his mind, ¡®Just wait till I get Lady Dorothy. By that time none of you can run away. Alex Rockefeller, that good-for-nothing, can¡¯t get a hold of this treasure. Such a fool.¡¯ While thinking, Spark handed the gift he was holding to Madame ire. He also took the opportunity to touch her. Madame ire didn¡¯t realize it at all, but smiled. ¡°Aw, you¡¯re my best son-inw ever. Not only did you visit me but brought me gifts too! Compared to you, that trash Alex is nothing but rubbish. Both of you are Rockefellers, but there are such huge differences between the two of you!¡± Spark smiled and said, ¡°Mom, why would you bring up that trash, you¡¯re killing the mood.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, I say no more!¡± Both of them entered. Lady Dorothy and her sister, Lady Beatrice were both there. Lady Dorothy felt very ufortable when she heard Spark shamelessly address her mother as ¡°Mum¡±, what¡¯s done was done. She had no way out and was helpless. The night before, Alex vowed solemnly and said that he had the money and can easily solve the problem, but till now he was nowhere to be seen, not even a phone call, could she believe in him? Don¡¯t tell me! ¡°Mum, I hand-picked this jade bracelet for youst night. Do you like it? I think it is a perfect match with the fair skin on your beautiful hands!¡± ¡°While this diamond ne, Sis Beatrice, is for you. You are beautiful. Try it on. It will look great on you.¡± Spark took out the gifts, sweet-talking. The two women were dazed immediately. They couldn¡¯t wait to wear them on. Madame irepared Alex Rockefeller with Spark again and was determined to divorce Lady Dorothy from Alex. Comparing both Rockefeller brothers, they were worlds apart. The more she looked at the jade bracelet on her hand, the more she liked, but as she saw Lady Dorothy sitting on the sofa, who kept quiet, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, ¡°My dear son-in- Lady Dorothy felt uneasy and said, ¡°Mom, shame on you! Alex and I are not divorced yet. I am still Alex¡¯s wife.¡± Madame ire coldly snorted. ¡°Wife! Bullshit! Has he ever touched you? You have sold the wedding ring, what else is there to talk about? Since Spark Rockefeller is here now, ask the trash toe over now and get divorced. Then, get your marriage certificate with Spark, and be Spark Rockefeller¡¯s wife.¡± Spark heard it and was overjoyed. Lady Beatrice supported, ¡°Yes, Sis. I think that is such a good idea. Killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, I won¡¯t acknowledge Alex that trash as my brother-inw. Only a young man like Spark is worthy of being my brother-inw.¡± Lady Dorothy felt powerless and weak. She was speechless. Spark then said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go file for your divorce and register for our marriage right away.¡± Lady Dorothy felt extremely disgusted and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t solved the problem for me yet. Let¡¯s talk about it when the problem is solved!¡± Spark smiled and said, ¡°That is easy¡­ Hehe, there¡¯s nothing my parents couldn¡¯t handle, right? Easy! By the way, it¡¯s almost noon. How about we first grab some lunch, then you can divorce that trash. My dad can step in for you¡­ Dorothy, I am not threatening you, this is to show sincerity to my dad. Otherwise, how would he believe that I want to marry you when you are still married?¡± Madame ire nodded. Promptly said, ¡°Let me call up that trash.¡± ¡­ It was half-past eleven in the morning, Alex just came out from the hospital and was going to find out from Lord Lex Gunther if the problem had been resolved, but suddenly he received a call from Madame ire saying that they were having lunch with Spark Rockefeller and asked him to bring along his marriage certificate to meet them. She wanted them to head straight to the office to divorce after lunch. Alex¡¯s face darkened. Divorce? ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there!¡± He decided to bring along the Love in a Fallen City ne worth thirty million dors to shove it in both Madame ire and Spark Rockefeller¡¯s face. Half an hourter. Alex rushed to the restaurant. As soon as he walked in, he saw Spark taking out a jewelry box and said to his wife Lady Dorothy, ¡°Dorothy, my heart is for you. I call upon heaven and earth as my witness. Just like this only ne in the world, I want you in my life, you and no one else.¡± Then, he opened the jewelry box and showed it to Lady Dorothy. Lady Beatrice covered her mouth and eximed, ¡°Oh my God¡­Is this the treasure of L.G. Balfour, ¡®Love in a Fallen City¡¯ that is worth thirty million dors? I saw someone on the Inte saying that there was a mysterious guy who bought the nest night, and it turned out to be you, Brother Spark Rockefeller. Sister, you are so blessed!¡± Spark was stunned. The Love in a Fallen City ne he was holding was an imitation, but he didn¡¯t expect that someone would have bought that ne with a thirty million dor price tag. However, it would be better if the ne had been purchased, then there was no way to confirm that the ne he was holding was fake, and he said promptly, ¡°Yes, I bought it for thirty million dorsst night.¡± ¡°Hmmm, yours is fake!¡± ¡°The one that I am holding is the genuine Love in a Fallen City ne!¡± At that moment, Alex sneered. He walked in and threw the jewelry box in his hand on the table. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 9 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 9 There was pin-drop silence! Everyone in that private dining room was shocked. But a few secondster, a burst ofughter broke the silence. Everyoneughed. Only Lady Dorothy was deeply disappointed after being shocked. Madame ire then eximed, ¡°You can afford to buy the Love in a Fallen City ne worth thirty million dors? Did you sleep on the streetst night? You must be still asleep, still dreaming about it huh? If you can afford this ne, I will eat this table.¡± Alex replied indifferently, ¡°Mum, you don¡¯t need to eat the table, your teeth are not strong enough to bite it.¡± Madame ire raised her brows and red, ¡°Mum? Who is your mother? Your mother is still in the hospital, half-dead! From today onwards, Spark Rockefeller is my only son-inw, and he is the only one qualified to address me as a mum. You, divorce Dorothy in the afternoon.¡± Alex nced and clenched his fist. ¡°What? Are you angry? How dare trash like you be angry at me, dare to beat me up?¡± Madame ire pointed at her head, ¡°Come on, here, beat my head, if you dare to beat me, I lose!¡± Alex couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with this shrew. Instead, he looked at Lady Dorothy and said, ¡°Dorothy, I told you I am not who I used to be. Now I can protect you and everyone around me. The Love in a Fallen City ne inside of this jewelry box is the proof! L.G. Balfour only had one Love in a Fallen City ne, the only one in the world, which is exactly the one I bought, the rest are fake!¡± ¡°Also, I retrieved our wedding ring, and it¡¯s in this box.¡± As soon as he stopped talking, he heard Madame ire roaring withughter. ¡°Listen, Dorothy. Listen carefully, what kind of bullsh*t is he spouting? How shameless, he must have gone insane! How dare he say that Spark¡¯s Love in a Fallen City ne is fake. Is yours genuine? Yours must be fake too.¡± Spark said, ¡°Yes! Alex, this is a real eye-opener. Bunch of bullshit. With my current status as Spark Rockefeller, do you think I will use a fake ne to deceive people? Thirty million dors means nothing to me, but what about you? You knelt to Mum, begging for half a million dors yesterday. No one would believe in you.¡± Alex heard Spark addressing Madame ire as his mother. He was speechless. He looked at Lady Dorothy, ¡°Dorothy, do you believe in me?¡± Lady Dorothy couldn¡¯t believe in him. She asked, ¡°Let me ask you, you said you have a way to solve the threat by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, have you done it?¡± Alex said, ¡°My people are working on it, news will be here soon.¡± Sparkughed and said, ¡°You liar, do you know anyone from Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Even if you kneel in front of the entrance of Thousand Miles Conglomerate for three days and three nights, no one will help you. You are talking smack.¡± Lady Dorothy sighed and said nothing. She knew that she shouldn¡¯t have pinned her hopes on him at all. At this moment, Alex¡¯s cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID on the screen, and it was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Lord Lex Gunther. He picked up the call. Lord Lex Gunther said on the other side, ¡°Master, I have checked with the matter, and I¡¯ve found the person. Would you like me to drown this person? Alex was overjoyed and looked at Spark. He remembered Lady Dorothy had told him yesterday that she wanted to take revenge with her own hands. He said immediately, ¡°That¡¯s too easy on him, I will take care of him myself.¡± Lord Lex Gunther said, ¡°Okay, where are you, Master? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Alex said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother, I¡¯ll be there.¡± Lord Lex Gunther replied, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m at Hell¡¯s Angels.¡± He hung up. Alex said to Lady Dorothy, ¡°It has been resolved, Thousand Miles Conglomerate will no longer threaten you. That rascal Sir Gaston has been found. If he dares to think aboutying a finger on you again, I will take revenge on him myself! I will kill him!¡± Then right after that, he felt hungry. He sat down, grabbed a bowl of sd, and gobbled it up. When Madame ire saw him eating like a hungry hippo, she shot him a look of disdain. ¡°You can¡¯t even afford to have a proper meal, how dare you continue to daydream!¡± Lady Dorothy didn¡¯t believe it at all. Looking at Alex talking big and fantasizing, she was heartbroken. She stood up abruptly, took up a cup, and sshed it on his face, ¡°I beg you, would you please wake up? Stop dreaming! When will you stop making a fool of yourself? You should take care of your mother in the hospital!¡± Alex swallowed the food and wiped his face. ¡°Dorothy, you must trust me, just wait, you will receive the news soon!¡± Full of confidence, he turned around and left. Madame ire grabbed the jewelry box angrily, threw it out the door, and cursed, ¡°You¡¯re crazy! Take your bloody broken box with you. Who knows what is in there? Get out! If I knew you were trash back then, I would never have agreed to let you marry Dorothy.¡± Pop! The jewelry box was thrown open. Inside, both the wedding ring and the Love in a Fallen City ne fell out. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Madame ire was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect there to be a ne in the box. Alex picked up the wedding ring. As he was about to pick up the ne, a woman picked it up. Looking up, it turned out to be that beautiful Dr. Cheryl Coney. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, why are you here?¡± Alex was slightly startled. ¡°I¡¯m here to have a meal with a friend.¡± She was slightly surprised after ncing at the Love in a Fallen City ne, and smiled, ¡°Such a beautiful ne, you should take care of it, here you are.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it beautiful?¡± Alex smiled bitterly. He had spent thirty million dors on the ne, but it was thrown away like garbage, ¡°Here, you can have it, the rest think that it¡¯s fake anyway.¡± After speaking, he left without looking back. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Dr. Cheryl held the ne in a daze and finally looked at the people in the private dining room. She put away the ne and walked towards her private dining room. It was just a fake ne, take it and leave! Madame ire sneered. ¡°See? Giving it away easily to a passer-by like this, and he still dares to im that it is the Love in a Fallen City ne that is worth thirty million dors? Look who got hold of the genuine Love in a Fallen City ne now! Dorothy, you should thank Spark, keep the present! This ne is a token of Spark¡¯s love for you.¡± Lady Dorothy was moody and shook her head. ¡°This is too expensive, I cannot ept it.¡± Madame ire took the ne, and said, ¡°You silly girl. Alright, I will keep it for you, until the day you marry Spark.¡± At this moment, Cassandra walked in. ¡°Dorothy, you¡¯re here! I was looking for you all over!¡± She heard that Lady Dorothy and Alex Rockefeller might be divorcing, so she came to help keep their marriage together. She knew that Alex had Thousand Miles Conglomerate supporting him. That was a real big shot! If she could hold on to being a friend of Alex and Dorothy, she could be at peace of mind for the rest of her life¡­ But she didn¡¯t know the reason for Alex keeping his identity a secret. She could not let the cat out of the bag, the best that she could do was help them salvage their rtionship. In fact, in her heart, she wanted to marry Alex the most! ¡°Hey, this ne¡­¡± She suddenly saw the ne in Madame ire¡¯s hand, ¡°Why does it look like the Love in a Fallen City ne?¡± Madame ire bragged and said, ¡°Cassandra, you are right, this is the one and only Love in a Fallen City ne, and it is Spark¡¯s love token to Dorothy.¡± Cassandra looked at the ne, then at Spark Rockefeller. After that, she showed disdain and said, ¡°I think you are deceived by someone with ulterior motives. This is not the Love in a Fallen City ne at all, it¡¯s a replica. It¡¯s fake.¡± Spark stood up with a gloomy expression, ¡°Bullsh*t! What do you know about authenticity? This is the genuine Love in a Fallen City ne!¡± Cassandra sneered. ¡°I sold the genuine Love in a Fallen City ne. How can I not know? This ne is fake!¡± As soon as she said that, everyone in the Assex family was confused. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 10 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 10 Of course, Spark would never admit that what he had given was just a fake ne that was only worth two thousand dors. If he admitted it, wouldn¡¯t it be such a waste of his previous efforts? He stood up abruptly, pointed at Cassandra, and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what is the rtionship between you and that garbage Alex, for you to stand up for him, who are you to doubt the jewelry I gave? Do you know who I am?¡± Cassandra sneered and said, ¡°Of course I know who you are. You are a spoilt brat trying to take away Alex¡¯s family property. Frankly, everything you have now belongs to Lady Dorothy. You snatched her wealth and now give her a piece of fake jewelry to get her body, you are so shameless.¡± Now that she believed in Alex Rockefeller. She even addressed him as father so naturally she would stand up for him. Spark coldly snorted. ¡°You kept saying that you sold the Love in a Fallen City ne, then who did you sell it to?¡± Cassandra answered, ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡± As she was about to tell them that it was Alex, she suddenly remembered his warning. His identity couldn¡¯t be revealed so she kept her mouth shut. ¡°Why should I tell you?¡± Spark was furious. He mmed the table, which shook the water in the ss. He looked at Madame ire and said, ¡°Madame ire, I don¡¯t understand the rtionship between you and her. She came here to maliciously fabricate information and nder me. If that¡¯s the case, I take it as I overreacted, but I can do nothing to help if Thousand Miles Conglomeratees after you.¡± Cassandra scoffed. ¡°I can guarantee you that Thousand Miles Conglomerate will nevere after the Assex family¡­¡± Before she continued¡­ Madame ire picked up her ss and sshed the red wine on Cassandra¡¯s face. She scolded, ¡°You there, what benefit did that trash Alex gave you to destroy Dorothy and Spark¡¯s wonderful marriage? Get out of here! Don¡¯t you dare toe to the Assex family again!¡± Then, she quickly said to Spark, ¡°My dear son-inw, calm down, she is a mad woman, she doesn¡¯t mind her manners, she doesn¡¯t even know a single thing about the thirty million dors worth of jewelry! The jewelry you bought is the genuine one. ¡± Cassandra was thoroughly wet and embarrassed. She looked at Lady Dorothy and suddenlyughed. ¡°Dorothy, you will regret divorcing Alex.¡± She shook her head and said. Lady Dorothy quickly stood up and apologized. But Madame ire yelled, ¡°Regret my ass! Are you jealous of Dorothy, who will soon be the youngdy of Rockefeller Group, but you, no one wants you yet?¡± ¡°Get lost! I¡¯ll beat you up if I see you again!¡± Cassandra suddenly sympathized with Alex. Madame ire was such a money-minded fool. A mother who was willing to sell her daughter. But the funny part was, she too made fun of Alex. Madame ire was a case of greed gone too far. She was beyond saving. ¡­ Hell¡¯s Angels. Located on the most valuablend in the central city of California, it upied an area of one hectare. It was the legendaryrgest and top-notch clubhouse in California. Normally, it was only open to the executives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Otherwise, those who can enter the clubhouse were big shots. Alex took a taxi and told the driver to go to Hell¡¯s Angels, the driver looked at him in disbelief. He wanted to ask why he was going to Hell¡¯s Angels? However, out of fear, he didn¡¯t ask a thing. Throughout the journey, he kept quiet. He even turned off the radio. Alex held the wedding ring while sulking. He didn¡¯t bother about the driver¡¯s expression. ¡°Spark Rockefeller, you are so despicable and shameless, I will let you taste your own medicine. ¡°I will use the power of Thousand Miles Conglomerate to pin you to death. ¡°But that would be too boring! Let¡¯s have some fun and see what kind of tricks you can y! ¡°And you, Madame ire, I will show you that Spark Rockefeller you¡¯re ttering is worth nothing to me!¡± Come to think about it, he had figured it out. Alex opened his eyes; it was filled with resolute and confidence. He had this capital now. Soon after, they arrived at Hell¡¯s Angels. After getting out of the car, Alex held his head up high and walked towards the door¡­ ¡°Stop!¡± ¡°Unauthorized personnel cannot enter Hell¡¯s Angels!¡± A powerful and fierce voice shouted towards him. Alex startled, and thought, ¡®It¡¯s not easy to enter the Hell¡¯s Angels, a single bellboy has such vigor.¡¯ Legend had it that there are many masters, mercenaries, martial arts masters in Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡­ Was he one of those? However, he was the real boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. No matter what type of master he was, he still worked for him. He stayed calm, and said gently, ¡°I¡¯m not an unauthorized person, I¡¯m looking for Lord Lex Gunther!¡± The bellboy was enraged. ¡°Outrageous, who are you to address Master Lex by his name! Kneel and apologize!¡± Alex frowned. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Lord Lex Gunther. He invited me here. Trust me. Go in and tell him that Rockefeller is here.¡± At this moment, a young man in a suit walked in arrogantly while whistling. He saw Alex being blocked at the door and said with a smile, ¡°Oh, who is this? Isn¡¯t it the worst cuckold in California? Having a wife who doesn¡¯t allow her husband to touch her. An abandoned son of the Rockefellers.¡± Alex looked at him and did not recognize him at all. He said coldly, ¡°Who are you? Who are you to judge me?¡± ¡°D*mn!¡± The man scoffed. ¡°You still have a temper! I hear that your wife is going to divorce you. Tsk tsk tsk. Your wife, Lady Dorothy is a real beauty. But are you happy after your wife remarried? Or unhappy?¡± Alex looked at him coldly. ¡°Tell me who you are!¡± The young manughed. ¡°Hahaha, what about it? Do you want to take revenge on me? I¡¯m so scared!¡± He sarcastically said, ¡°Listen well, I am Gaston Gates! I am the person your wife offended at the reception a few days ago! How about it, are you angry? Flipping out for your confidence! Pity you, a cuckold, worthless to carry my shoes. Forget it, I don¡¯t want to fight with you.¡± Turns out, that was the Sir Gaston Gates. This person was not a big shot, just a nephew of an executive in a subsidiary of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Therefore, Lord Lex Gunther couldn¡¯t recognize him at all. It took a long time to look for this person. Then, Lord Lex Gunther called Alex up to Hell¡¯s Angels. What¡¯s funnier, Sir Gaston Gates had thought Lord Lex Gunther had called him up to the Hell¡¯s Angels for some good deed. He jeered at Alex. Alex sneered, ¡°So it¡¯s you! Anyst words?¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Gaston Gates was furious. ¡°You fool,st word for whom? Believe it or not, I won¡¯t let you die peacefully!¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± This was Hell¡¯s Angels, his yground. He believed that he could give him a lesson. At this moment there was another voice, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it either!¡± Gaston Gates was furious. ¡°Which fool is saying he doesn¡¯t believe it?¡± He turned his head. He saw who was talking and he was stunned. ¡°Master Lex¡­ Gunther?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 11 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 11 As Gaston began to recognize the old man standing behind, his facial expression took a drastic change. The old man was the chief of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and the alpha of the underground world, Lord Lex¡ªLex Gunther! He did not have the guts to berate Lord Lex. After all, he still valued his life. Gaston stood frozen for a moment, as he gathered his thoughts, he immediately smiled and apologized, ¡°Lord Lex, I¡¯m so, so, so sorry, I didn¡¯t know it was you! Please be the bigger man that I know you to be. Please forgive me for what I just said. I know you¡¯re arge-hearted man. Oh, I¡¯m Gaston, you sent someone to call for me? Is the purpose of this meeting to assign additional tasks to me? Perhaps to promote me to be a manager? I promise I will perform to the best of my abilities.¡± Lord Lex¡¯s face sank a little. His eyes were gloomy and cold. He said in a monotone voice, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it in the meeting room.¡± When Gaston saw that Lord Lex had notshed out at him, he felt a great sense of joy. Lord Lex could not hide his anger. He was fuming and everyone could see it on his face. Gaston guessed it had something to do with Alex who was standing next to Lord Lex. Gaston thought to himself, ¡®It¡¯s over for this fool!¡¯ Lord Lex spoke to one of the personnel standing at the door, ¡°Please show him to the meeting room.¡± The man was startled but he still nodded respectfully in agreement. Lord Lex¡¯s gaze slowly turned towards Alex and he called out, ¡°Master!¡± The voice was not loud, but the one who person manning the door was well trained in martial arts and had good hearing and sight. As he heard how Lord Lex had just addressed Alex, his body was frozen solid for a moment. The security personnel thought to himself, ¡°Master? Since when did the mighty Lord Lex have a master? Someone whomands such respect from Lord Lex must be exceptional.¡± As he recalled he had ordered the young man to kneel and apologize, he feared for his life. It¡¯s all over. Today¡¯s date would be marked as the anniversary of his death. The same could be said of Gaston walking next to him. The funny thing was, Gaston had no idea what just happened and was still joyously asking him, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s your name? My name¡¯s Gaston Gates. The owner of Rainbow City is my uncle. I can¡¯t believe Lord Lex has called for me today. It seems that I¡¯ve managed to catch his attention. I think I¡¯ll be here often in the future.¡± The security personnel thought to himself, ¡®Be here often? There¡¯s still a question mark over whether you¡¯ll be leaving this ce alive!¡¯ Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Gaston continued, ¡°Do you know who that fool is standing at the door? He¡¯s the son of William Rockefeller, the former boss of Rockefeller Group. His glory days are in the past and he¡¯s merely a wimp who depends on women now. He¡¯s been married for a year, but his wife is still a virgin. In fact, she is about to be taken away from him. Isn¡¯t this a funny story?¡± The security personnel remained silent. Gaston just hummed softly and did not speak another word to him. He cussed in his mind, ¡®Bloody fool, this guy is just another idiot. With the support of my uncle, I¡¯ll soon be among the upper management of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and when that timees, all it takes will be a gaze from me and you¡¯ll be crushed!¡¯ Soon, they arrived at the meeting room. There was a person who was already kneeling in there as they walked in. Gastonughingly said, ¡°Who is this guy kneeling here? Did Lord Lex call for me to kick his¡­¡± Gaston was not able to finish his sentence before the person kneeling on the ground turned around. ¡°Uncle! It¡¯s you? Why are you kneeling?¡± The person kneeling was John Gates, the owner of Rainbow City. He was the one who had signed the deal with Lady Dorothy, representing Assex Constructions. ¡°You b*stard!¡± John Gates screamed as he jumped up, walked across the room and pped Gaston so hard that Gaston¡¯s nose started bleeding. He was furious to see Gaston. Seeing Gaston, John Gates was immediately furious, jumped up, and pped him so hard. Gaston was shocked and he said, ¡°Uncle, why are you hitting me?¡± ¡°I will kill you!¡± John roared as he rushed forward, punching and kicking. At this moment, Alex and Lord Lex walked in together. ¡°Kneel down!¡± said John. ¡°Immediately kneel to the master, grovel and apologize! p yourself while doing it!¡± John Gates kicked Gaston so hard that he almost broke into two. Gaston took a peek at Alex¡¯s expressionless face. He was confused. He pointed at Alex and shouted, ¡°Uncle, are you crazy? I can overlook the fact that you hit me for no reason, but why do you want me to apologize to this dog? Do you know who he is? He¡¯s just a wimp, a worthless piece of shit. He does not deserve to kneel to me!¡± Alex¡¯s facial expression did not change. He¡¯s already gotten used to such insults from Madame ire over the past ten months. He had often heard this from Madame ire¡¯s mouth in the past ten months, and he was used to it. Lord Lex showed his killing intent and said coldly, ¡°John Gates, you¡¯ve helped raise a wonderful nephew!¡± As Lord Lex spoke, the surrounding air froze. John¡¯s heart ached and he had to make a decision on the spot. ¡°Master Lex,¡± John said, ¡°It is my fault for not teaching him well. I will deal with this animal myself.¡± ¡°What?¡± Gaston could not believe that his uncle had thrown him under the bus. ¡°Uncle John! Please do not go crazy! I¡¯m your only nephew!¡± Gaston shouted. John let out a sigh. He was actually hitting Gaston to protect him. He wanted him to show remorse so that Lord Lex might just spare his life. However, it didn¡¯t work ording to his n¡ªhis stubborn nephew just didn¡¯t understand the situation and John could only save himself. ¡°You filthy animal!¡± shouted John. ¡°You should not have made an enemy of Master Alex and coveted his wife! Today will be thest day of your life!¡± ¡°What?¡± Gaston responded in shock, ¡°He¡¯s no master. He¡¯s just a piece of garbage!¡± Lord Lex sneered. ¡°He is the son of an old friend of mine. You treat him as you treat me. Do you think I¡¯m a piece of garbage too?¡± Gaston¡¯s eyes opened wide and his mouth was gaping like a dead goldfish. He finally realized his mistake. He was really going to pay with his life for his stupidity! Gaston quickly kneeled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Master Alex! I¡¯m just putting up an act for money. Master Alex, I¡¯m not really lusting for your wife to apany me.¡± Alex was stunned for a moment, and Spark Rockefeller came to mind. ¡°Now tell me, who is behind the whole ordeal?¡± Alex asked while his gaze pierced through Gaston. Gaston knew the trouble he was in and dared not to hide anything from Alex. He said, ¡°It¡¯s Spark, the bastard said that as long as I did this favor for him, he would give me 10 million dors and three beauties! I was blinded by my greed. I promise I will never do it again. Master Alex, please spare my life! I swear, from now on, I am willing to be yourp dog. May I be struck by lightning if I¡¯m lying to you.¡± Alex was full of murderous intent. It was really that son of a b*tch Spark that was behind all of this. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 12 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 12 Lord Lex kicked Gaston and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s toote to beg for mercy now! Drag him out and drown him.¡± The security guard lunged forward. At this moment, Gaston¡¯s desire to live kicked into overdrive. He groveled over and over again. His forehead was split open by the force and blood gushed out. Gaston shouted, ¡°Lord Lex, please spare my life! Uncle John, please help me! I know I was in the wrong. I really do. Master Alex, please spare me!¡± The sight was difficult for John Gates to bear, but he could not mutter a word. Alex nced at Gaston and said, ¡°Keep him alive, he could still be useful to us.¡± Upon hearing Alex¡¯s words, gratitude was written all over John¡¯s face. He quickly kicked Gaston and said, ¡°Quickly thank Master Alex. Remember, he¡¯ll be your master from now on!¡± Gaston hastily groveled and said, ¡°Thank you! Thank you Master Alex!¡± Lord Lex could not hide the anger in this voice and said, ¡°Spark Rockefeller, he deserves a terrible death for his atrocities. I will send someone to bring him here. We will tear his body from limb to limb!¡± In his mind, Alex wanted to see how Spark would react once everyone knew what he had done. He also wanted to see the look on Madame ire¡¯s face when she realized she had been made a fool of. He waved off his hand and said, ¡°Hold it for now. I will deal with Spark personally. Isn¡¯t he trying to act like a hero, a good savior? I will ruin his reputation and his life.¡± Then he solemnly said to Gaston, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t you dare tell anyone of my identity. If my mother- inw knows about it, I will make sure you swim with the fishes.¡± Gaston hurriedly replied, ¡°Yes, yes, my lips are sealed! Master, you are smart, ying dumb to serve the best dish of revenge to Spark!¡± Alex was amused as Gaston was buttering him up with ttery while blood was still flowing down his forehead. In Alex¡¯s mind, the person that he wishes to deal with first was Madame ire. He nned to disgust her by pretending to be poor and not agreeing to a divorce. That should tick her off! ¡°Alright, we will contact you once you¡¯re needed. For now, make yourself scarce,¡± said Alex to Gaston. ¡°Yes Master, I will definitely cooperate and help you to humiliate spark! I never really liked him to begin with. He¡¯s only ying hero with money that he stole from you. He is nothingpared to you.¡± Alex added, ¡°Please issue an official apology to my wife from Rainbow City so that she can rest at ease. Do you know how much she has suffered due to your actions? Even if I killed him ten times over, you will still be unable to redeem yourself. Alex was not in a hurry to go home. He only had half a chicken drumstick; he was not feeling full yet. Apanied by Lord Lex, Alex had a bountiful feast for lunch. Then, they took a walk in Cali Mall before heading home in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which had to stop a stone¡¯s throw away from the Assex¡¯s vi. He just ate half of a bowl of sd in the afternoon and his stomach was not full yet. Apanied by Lord Lex, he had an extravagant lunch, and then walked around in Hell¡¯s Angels. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. After that, he took the Rolls-Royce Phantom car, got off at a few hundred meters away from the Assex¡¯s residence, and walked slowly to the vi. As Alex walked towards the vi, he saw some bags scattered in front of the vi¡¯s gates. Upon closer examination, it turned out that all his belongings had been thrown out. There was a broken photo frame on the ground too. It held Alex¡¯s family portrait of himself and his parents. It had a clear footprint on it; someone obviously stepped on it deliberately. Alex was enraged and he stormed into the vi yelling, ¡°Who did it? Who stepped on my family portrait?¡± Madame ire, Lady Beatrice, and Spark Rockefeller were in the living room when Alex stormed in. Madame ire angrily replied, ¡°I did it! So what if I did? You, piece of trash is about to be divorced, why are you still staying at our house?¡± Alex¡¯s eyes were cold and menacing, it was the first time Madame ire had seen him this way, making her feel uneasy. She fearfully asked, ¡°What are you going to do? Have you gone crazy? Are you going to murder me?¡± Lady Beatrice quickly grabbed Madame ire and said, ¡°My mom stepped on it identally.¡± Alex blinked andughingly said, ¡°Mum, you are my mother-inw, why would I want to kill you? Don¡¯t worry, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and serve you while living and give a proper burial after death.¡± When Madame ire heard it, she was so angry that she was hovering between life and death. She screamed, ¡°Son of a b*tch! Are you daydreaming? Who is your mother? You can go and give a proper burial for your mother!¡± Alex said, ¡°You are my mother!¡± ¡°You¡­ get divorced right away, Beatrice, call your sister and tell her to go to the registrar of marriage office immediately.¡± Alex shook his head and said, ¡°Mum, there¡¯s no need for that. Dorothy and I would not get divorced. Don¡¯t you wish to have the Rockefeller family¡¯s power? I¡¯m afraid if we get divorced, you will not get what you wish for.¡± Spark stood up and said, ¡°Alex, I really didn¡¯t expect that you to really behave like a dog! You still want to continue to milk your rtionship with Dorothy for money? It¡¯s just a waste of money keeping you and your mother alive. Let¡¯s just cut to the chase. If you and Dorothy file for divorce, I will give you another additional one million dors. I will personally see to it that you get a cleaning job in Rockefeller Group. I heard you have been a wonderful nanny here at the Assex family, I guess you do have a talent for cleaning.¡± Before Alex could reply, Lady Dorothy came running in. The sound her pumps were making was loud and clear. As Lady Dorothy walked in, she happily shouted, ¡°Mom! It has been resolved!¡± Madame ire was confused and asked, ¡°What has been resolved?¡± ¡°The problem with Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± Lady Dorothy replied. ¡°John Gates, the man in charge of Rainbow City called me personally and said that he knew of Gaston¡¯s evil deeds and had already given him severe punishment. He ensured that no one from their group will harass us again. I¡¯m so relieved!¡± As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Only god knows what she had to go through these past two days. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was putting too much pressure on her. The incident with the Thousand Miles Conglomerate was not the only thing exerting pressure on her, but when her own family found out about this, they didn¡¯t help her at all. Instead, they told her to sleep with Gaston as an apology. Additionally, there was also pressure from Spark and her disappointment in Alex. She was on the very edge of breaking down. Alex¡¯s heart sank when he saw Dorothy in this condition. He walked towards Dorothy and said aloud and earnestly, ¡°Darling Dorothy, as I told you, everything will be okay. I will protect you. Whoever dares to bully you will have to step over my dead body.¡± At this moment, Spark was ring daggers at him. Lady Dorothy looked at him with teary eyes, and said, ¡°Did you really help me solve it? Your father¡¯s friend already stepped in?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Alex replied. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Dorothy said, d that the situation was finally over. ¡°Silly. We are husband and wife, I will protect you for the rest of our lives.¡± Alex said as he reached his for Dorothy¡¯s face, wanting to wipe her tears away. Madame ire who was standing next to them suddenly gave Alex a push. Alex was not prepared for her sudden action and fell to the ground. His arms hit the edges and corners of the coffee table, bruising and hurting him. ¡°Mom, are you crazy?¡± Lady Dorothy said as she quickly helped Alex up, ¡°Alex, are you okay?¡± Madame ire rushed over and pulled Dorothy away and said, ¡°Who the hell is crazy? Do you think he¡¯s the one who helped you? What abilities does he have? All of this was resolved because of Spark!¡± Spark was still in a state of confusion from the news. He was thinking, ¡®What in the world is Gaston doing? He took my money and yet he couldn¡¯t pull off his part of the deal?¡¯ When he heard what Madame ire had just said, he immediately chuckled and said, ¡°Yes, I called my dad to meet John Gates. Alex, stop pretending you are capable of anything. Have you forgotten that your dad was sentenced for corruption? What kind of person is still his friend? Don¡¯t believe him Dorothy, he even lied about buying four million dors worth of jewelry, but it turned out to be made of ss!¡± Lady Dorothy¡¯s heart was filled with suspicion when she heard what Spark had to say. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 13 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 13 Lady Dorothy trusted in Alex, but what Alex said was hard to believe. Most importantly, he had spent ten months not being himself, and that impression lingered on in her mind. Alex stared at Spark coldly. ¡°Again with the lies. I want to see until when you¡¯d stop lying. Do you think your lies were wless? Will you use the Thousand Miles Conglomerate to force me to divorce Dorothy? What kind of joke is that! Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s John Gates, right? He was kneeling in front of me just now, begging for mercy.¡± Everyone sneered. Even Lady Dorothy was disappointed in Alex, thinking he was lying. Sparkughed loudly, ¡°Alex, I didn¡¯t expect that you are really so delusional and had such hallucinations in your mind. John Gates of Thousand Miles Conglomerate kneeled before you? Why don¡¯t you say that Lord Lex works for you?¡± Alex sneered. ¡®Lord Lex Gunther does work for me.¡¯ However, it was not time yet to let the cat out of the bag. He looked at Lady Dorothy and said, ¡°Dorothy, everything was caused by him. It was he who gave Gaston fifty million dors and promised him three beauties. He is trying to create a situation that will force you to be his wife. Am I right, Spark?¡± When Spark heard it, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. Alex had just exposed the truth in front of everybody. But at this moment, Madame ire grabbed a broom, hit Alex on the head, and cussed, ¡°Nonsense! It¡¯s all you, a bastard making up fairy tales in your mind! Stop spouting such nonsense. Fifty million dors and three women? Are you crazy? With so much money, he can get any woman he wants. Why would he do that just for a chance to get with my Dorothy?¡± Alex grabbed the broom and replied, ¡°Because he is a pervert that wants to marry his sister-inw.¡± Spark said angrily, ¡°You must have gone insane, I¡¯m not going to entertain you.¡± After that, Madame ire started to hit Alex furiously, chasing him out of the Assex¡¯s vi shouting, ¡°Get out, get out, do not take a single step into our family home from now on!¡± Alex tried to speak to Lady Dorothy that was still inside the house and said, ¡°Dorothy, think about it, I can bear being treated like trash, I can be beaten and scolded by your mother, and I have never lied to you.¡± Bang! Madame ire shut the gates. Alex took a deep breath, trying to calm his impulsiveness and anger, and picked up his luggage that was thrown outside the house. Spark smiled and looked at Lady Dorothy and said without shame, ¡°Dorothy, look. My dad has helped you solve the problem, you can file for divorce today!¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Lady Dorothy was suspicious. ¡°Spark, didn¡¯t you say that your dad wouldn¡¯t step in to help if I wasn¡¯t divorced? I don¡¯t know who to trust now!¡± Lady Beatrice said, ¡°Sister, are you possessed? Are you going to believe that crazy and delusional person?¡± Spark then said, ¡°You don¡¯t believe me, do you? I¡¯ll go to my dad and he¡¯ll prove it to you.¡± He left in a hurry after saying that. In fact, he was a little panicked and rushed to find Gaston to ask what the situation was. Madame ire quickly praised, ¡°Good son-inw, I believe you, tell him that I¡¯m so thankful!¡± Spark nodded, opened the door, and left. Alex saw Spark getting into his Lamborghini with a warm farewell from Madame ire and Lady Beatrice. ¡°Ew, can you move faster? Clean up your things and get out of here!¡± said Madame ire as she spat at Alex¡¯s feet when returning inside. Alex just finished packing up, he only took the things that were important for him. He threw away the rest of his belongings and nned to buy new ones. After all, he now had an unlimited amount of money. Just as he was about to leave, Lady Dorothy rushed over. ¡°Alex, please don¡¯t leave!¡± said Dorothy. Alex stopped and turned around. He was disappointed that Dorothy still had doubts regarding what he said. With a bitter smile, Alex said, ¡°All my belongings have been thrown out, should I sleep at the gates if I don¡¯t leave?¡± Dorothy replied, ¡°If what you told me is true, there¡¯s no need for you to feel guilty. If you are not guilty, why should you leave? My mother is determined to let Spark into our family. If he¡¯s the person behind all of this, why don¡¯t you stay and protect me? What if my mother drugs me before calling Spark over?¡± As Alex mulled over it, that old witch may really be able to pull it off just for the sake of money. Looking at Madame ire, who was staring at him fiercely as a tiger, he nodded and said, ¡°You are right, I shouldn¡¯t leave, I¡¯m still your husband, and I will be your husband forever.¡± Madame ire angrily rushed out with a broom. Lady Dorothy stood in front of Alex and said, ¡°Mom, if you want to kick him out, I will go with him. Maybe when our children grow up, I wille back to see you.¡± When Madame ire heard it, she was dumbfounded and returned to the room angrily. Deep down, she knew that Lady Dorothy could really do it, just like ten months ago, stab herself in the chest for Alex. Lady Dorothy said to Alex again, ¡°Prove it to me.¡± Alex replied, ¡°What do you want me to prove?¡± Lady Dorothy said, ¡°Prove that you can protect me in the future. Otherwise, you will still be driven away by my mother. I will still¡­be Spark¡¯s woman.¡± Alex smiled confidently and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will prove it to you. I remember that two days from now will be the anniversary celebration of Assex Constructions. The younger generation of the Assex family willpete with their annual performance. I have a gift for you before that.¡± ¡°What gift?¡± Dorothy asked curiously. ¡°I would rather not say it but prove to you with my actions,¡± Alex replied. Lady Dorothy was suspicious, but he didn¡¯t seem to be lying. Then she asked, ¡°Where is the wedding ring? Didn¡¯t you buy it back?¡± Alex quickly took the ring out of his pocket. ¡°Help me to put on!¡± Dorothymanded. Alex was very happy and shook in joy as he held her soft silky hands and gently put the ring on her finger. Lady Dorothy knew that it was really her wedding ring. Her eyes were teary as she said, ¡°Alex, I hope you are not lying to me. This is the second time I¡¯ve asked you to put on the ring, and it¡¯s thest time. If you lose it again, it will be over between us.¡± Madame ire rushed out again. ¡°Let go, who gave you permission to touch my daughter? If you want to stay at my house, go cook, mop the floor, and handwash all the clothes.¡± Meanwhile, Spark called Gaston Gates, ¡°Gaston, what are you doing? Why didn¡¯t you keep up your end of the bargain? You dropped the ball at thest minute.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 14 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 14 When Gaston received the call, he was having his wounds treated at the hospital. His forehead was split open and his face was swollen. His whole body was blue and purple with bruises. With every instance of pain that he felt, he kept cursing Spark in his mind. If it weren¡¯t for helping that scheming bastard, he would not have ended up in his current condition. He just barely avoided being drowned. When he heard Spark questioning him, he couldn¡¯t help but felt like cussing. However, he remembered Alex¡¯s instructions and told Spark, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me any questions about this, I have no answer for you. I¡¯ll be going overseas. You can handle the situation on your own.¡± Click! Gaston hung up on Spark and turned his phone off and couldn¡¯t be contacted again. Spark was furious. His gut ballooned with rage. Gaston took his money but didn¡¯t do as he asked. However, Gaston was the nephew of the powerful John Gates, a person of high status within Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Spark did not have the audacity to do anything to Gaston. Soon, he reached home. The Rockefeller family¡¯s home was a huge manor. On Alex¡¯s seventh birthday, his father William Rockefeller had spent a small fortune to purchase the manor as a birthday gift for Alex. The irony was that as the rest of the Rockefeller family moved in, Alex and Brittany were kicked out of the house. As soon as Spark entered, his grandfather, Bill Rockefeller smiled at him. ¡°Where did you go, Spark? Your face looks gloomy and angry. Is someone bothering you? Let me help you.¡± Spark instantly replied, ¡°Alex!¡± Bill Rockefeller snorted coldly. ¡°That useless son of a b*tch? How can he mess with you in his current state?¡± Alex was stunned. ¡°Son of a b*tch? Grandpa, isn¡¯t Alex, my uncle¡¯s son?¡± Bill¡¯s eyes blinked and he tried to back paddle, ¡°What I meant was that he was the bastard that I kicked out of this house. Tell me, how did he mess with you?¡± Spark said, ¡°That piece of human garbage obviously has no ability or power but refused to concede and divorce Lady Dorothy. Such a shameless guy! Disgusting!¡± Bill¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Spark, do you like that Lady Dorothy?¡± Spark admitted, ¡°Yes, I want to marry her.¡± If this conversation had happened between any other grandfather and grandson, Spark would have been pped for lusting over his own sister-inw. But Bill was not any other grandfather and he laughed. ¡°Spark, you have finally grown up. That Dorothy Assex is indeed a beauty. It is unfortunate that she¡¯s married to Alex. Since you like her that much, then I will go to the Assex family¡¯s residence and help you convince the olddy of the Assex family. I believe that you will have her blessings.¡± ¡°Really? Thank you, Grandpa!¡± Spark was happy to hear what his grandfather had said. ¡°You are my grandson, why wouldn¡¯t I help you? As long as you can give me a bunch of great- grandchildren! That Alex ispletely useless. He¡¯s the dark horse of my Rockefeller family. Our reputation has been tarnished by his existence. He is not worthy of having such a wife.¡± At the same time, Alex had just sent a message to Lord Lex, instructing him to sign a big contract with Dorothy as soon as possible. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was involved in practically every industry. Just by signing a deal with them, Dorothy would be able to stand tall with pride amongst the family elders. Come to think of it, things had not been easy for Madame ire in the Assex family. The head of the family was Madame Joanne, Dorothy¡¯s grandmother. The olddy had three sons, Benny, Anderson, and Henry Assex. Madame ire was the wife of the youngest son, Henry Assex. When Dorothy was sixteen years old, Madame ire had caught him cheating with his secretary. The very next day, Henry had run away with his mistress. No one had heard from him ever since and no one knew if he¡¯s still alive. The olddy med Madame ire for the disappearance of her son. She was never fond of Madame ire in the first ce and her opinion of Madame ire had only gotten worse ever since. Joanne even disliked Beatrice and Dorothy for this very reason. Soon, Alex received a response from Lord Lex, ¡°Noted Master. A contract worth a billion dors will be finalized with Lady Dorothy tomorrow.¡± Alex couldn¡¯t fall asleep as his mind was filled with regret. He owed Dorothy too much and wanted to talk to her. He mustered up his courage and went to the second floor to look for Dorothy. The door was unlocked, and it was open. Alex peeked inside. ¡°Dorothy¡­¡± He was shocked as he saw Madame ire coming out of the shower with only a towel covering her body. Madame ire screamed, ¡°You pervert! Who gave you permission toe up here? What do you intend to do in the middle of the night? Get out! Immediately!¡± This caused a great ruckus in the Assex¡¯s vi. Madame Joanne weed two unexpected guests at the old Assex manor the next morning. The head of the Rockefeller family, Bill Rockefeller and Spark Rockefeller, the young director of Rockefeller Group hade to visit her. Inparison to the hugely influential and powerful Rockefeller Group, Assex Constructions was but a smallpany. The olddy was surprised when she found out the reason for their visit. ¡°Sir Rockefeller, our Dorothy is already married. Are you sure that your grandson wants to marry her?¡± she asked. ¡°Yes, it is Lady Dorothy that I want to marry!¡± Spark chimed in. ¡°I¡¯ve fallen in love with Dorothy at first sight. Besides, her marriage to Alex is only on paper, they¡¯ve never been allowed to sleep together.¡± Madame Joanne replied, ¡°Your reputation will be tarnished. I have another granddaughter named Emma¡­¡± Spark shook his head and said, ¡°I only want Lady Dorothy.¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Bill Rockefeller smiled and chimed in, ¡°Madame Joanne, I hear that Assex Constructions has not been doing too well recently. I¡¯m willing to help you tide over your difficulties.¡± Just as Bill finished his sentence, Anderson Assex, the second son of Madame Joanne ran in and said with excitement, ¡°Mom! We have just received confirmation that Thousand Miles Conglomerate will be signing a deal worth a billion dors with us!¡± ¡°Oh, good news, really great news¡­¡± The olddy pped her hands and said happily. She then looked at Bill Rockefeller with a dazed expression, ¡°Sir Rockefeller, great! You¡¯ve pulled the strings for Thousand Miles Conglomerate to sign a business deal with us. It¡¯s vastly admirable, old man, thank you! You have my blessing for this marriage.¡± Bill Rockefeller was shocked. He didn¡¯t even know anyone in Thousand Miles Conglomerate. However, it was a wonderful opportunity that fate had given him. Bill said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Lord Lex of Thousand Miles Conglomerate is a personal friend of mine. I just asked for a small favor, nothing is too much as long as we can help the Assex family.¡± Madame Joanne smiled and said, ¡°This is great! Spark, I like you very much. Tomorrow will be the anniversary of our Assex Constructions. We will be hosting a banquet in celebration. Why don¡¯t I announce Dorothy¡¯s marriage to you and the banquet tomorrow?¡± Spark was overjoyed and said, ¡°Thank you, thank you Grandma!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 15 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 15 As they left the old Assex Manor, Spark looked admiringly at Bill, ¡°Grandpa, I didn¡¯t know you were so well connected that even Lord Lex is your friend. You even managed to hep pull the strings for a billion dors contract so quickly! No wonder you were confident that the olddy would ept your proposal!¡± Bill shook his head and said, ¡°The billion dors contract had nothing to do with me¡­¡± ¡°Huh?! Then didn¡¯t you just say¡­¡± Spark questioned. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°I was merely going with the flow,¡± Bill interjected. ¡°Fate has it to be our day. I didn¡¯t expect the Assex family could do business with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It seems that someone powerful must be helping them. It is a brilliant move for you to marry Dorothy. We might be able to connect with Thousand Miles Conglomerate through you in the future.¡± Spark smiled and nodded in agreement. The thought crossed his mind, who could be helping the Assex family? A billion dors was no small sum. Could it be Alex? He quickly dismissed the possibility. In his mind, Alex was just a useless person; there was no way he could pull it off. After all, no matter who it was, his marriage to Dorothy was going to be finalized the next day. At the other Assex vi, Lady Dorothy received notification that Thousand Miles Conglomerate had offered the Assex Constructions a billion dors deal and had specifically requested her to handle the negotiations of the contract. She couldn¡¯t believe it was real. After multiple confirmations, she finally epted the good news to be true. ¡°Alex!¡± she thought. ¡°He said that he is going to give me a big surprise! Could this billion-dor contract be his doing?¡± Lady Dorothy quickly went to the conference room to meet the representatives from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It was as though a miracle had happened; the negotiations went in her favor easily. It was as if the contract was a deal that fell from the sky. Assex Constructions would be able to obtain at least twenty percentrger profit margins than usual, and the deal would total at least three hundred million in profit for Assex Constructions. As Lady Dorothy managed to sign the contract before the anniversary banquet, it was without a doubt that she would be the top performer and would receive arge performance bonus. The representatives from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate shook hands with Lady Dorothy, and said, ¡°Thank you, Ms. Assex. The contract is set, I will take it back and go through the necessary process. It will be signed and stamped and be given back to youtest by tomorrow. After bidding farewell with the representatives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Lady Dorothy felt as if she were in a dream. She immediately called Alex, ¡°Alex, was that your doing? Is the billion-dor contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate the surprise you wanted to give me?¡± Alex grinned and said, ¡°Are the negotiations finalized? That¡¯s great! I¡¯ve owed you far too much over the past ten months. I will do my utmost to make it up to you. You¡¯ll have my full support from now on.¡± Upon hearing Alex¡¯s words, Lady Dorothy broke down and cried, ¡°Alex, I do not ask for much. As long as you remain positive in life and have the guts to keep on living, I would stay by your side no matter if we¡¯re rich or poor.¡± ¡°I promise you!¡± Alex promised. ¡­¡­ Meanwhile, the Assex family had also received the news that the billion-dor contract had been sessfully negotiated. They were extremely excited, especially when they learned of the various concessions Thousand Miles Conglomerate had made. The olddy of the Assex family took a bath before saying a prayer to God. Assex Constructions was worth around two to three hundred million dors. This single deal had doubled their worth. The Assex family would catapult from a third-rate business family to a second- rate business family, which meant that the outlook for the future of their business had just be much better. In the courtyard of the old Assex Manor, a couple of young members of the Assex family juniors were gossiping. ¡°Dorothy actually managed tond the billion-dor contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate, I really don¡¯t know how she managed to get it,¡± one said. ¡°I thought that I would be the top performer at this year¡¯s anniversary celebration, but this deal has totally changed the game!¡± ¡°Dorothy Assex, it¡¯s all just because she¡¯s a little pretty,¡± said Lady Emma Assex, the daughter of Anderson Assex, who had never taken a liking to Lady Dorothy. ¡°You know, she is a married woman¡­ But only on paper!¡± Madame Joanne walked into the yard at that very moment and interrupted them, ¡°What wicked gossip are you guys spreading?¡± Lady Emma replied, ¡°Grandma, the billion-dor contract sign by Dorothy is not due to her efforts, right? Thousand Miles Conglomerate took the initiative toe to us, and that is due to our brand and reputation. In fact, this deal should be credited to all of us who helped to build up the image of the company.¡± The olddy put her hand on Emma¡¯s face and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. This deal was brokered by the Rockefeller Family as dower for Dorothy.¡± ¡°The Rockefeller family? Hasn¡¯t that trash Alex been driven out by the Madame ire?¡± asked Emma. ¡°It¡¯s not Alex, it¡¯s the young director of Rockefeller Group, Spark Rockefeller!¡± Madame Joanne replied. ¡°What? Spark wants to marry Dorothy?!¡± Emma eximed in surprise. All the other young members of the Assex familyughed in unison. Lady Emma murmured softly under her breath, ¡°That b*tch Dorothy. She is really shameless and willing to do anything just to be the youngdy of Rockefeller Group.¡± The olddy then said, ¡°Emma, you go to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and raise the profile of our banquet tomorrow to a more luxurious level. This time, we will have a bountiful dinner for all our guests and build on the momentum to further the ambitions of the Assex family! We would also announce the billion-dor contract between Assex Constructions and Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± The day flew by and Assex Constructions¡¯ anniversary had arrived. Madame ire¡¯s family had just finished their lunch. Madame ire dropped the tes and utensils on the dining table and instructed Alex, ¡°Clean up the table. Do not leave a single drop of food!¡± Alex ignored herment. He had already gotten so used to it over the past ten months. ¡°By the way, we will be attending Assex Constructions¡¯ anniversary banquet in the afternoon. You don¡¯t have toe. You¡¯ll only bring shame to our family.¡± Alex didn¡¯t want to go. The olddy of the Assex family Madame Joanne, didn¡¯t like him at all. It would be very awkward if he did show up. Additionally, he would rather not see them as they were worthless in his eyes. Lady Dorothy quickly chimed in, ¡°No, Alex must go! Grandmother just gave me a call and asked me to make sure Alexes along.¡± Madame ire said, ¡°Is the olddy off her medication?¡± But since it was Madame Joanne¡¯s request, she had to obey it. Madame ire went up to her room to change into a more fitting outfit for the evening¡¯s event. The Ritz Carlton Hotel was one of the finest five-star hotels in California. They had a grand and retro design which looked magnificent. At half past three in the afternoon, the main entrance was already flying a huge banner that said, ¡°Warm celebration¨C15 years of Assex Constructions.¡± It was a grand event and many extremely famous and powerful guests arrived at the venue one after another. You see, Madame Joanne had let the news of Assex Constructions¡¯ deal with Thousand Miles Conglomerate spread. Many were hoping to join in on the deal, while others showed up as a sign of respect for Thousand Miles Conglomerate. When Madame Joanne saw that many of the rich and powerful were in attendance, she was extremely pleased. At this time, Lady Dorothy¡¯s family also arrived. Madame ire dressed up elegantly, and she had the Love in the Fallen City ne on. Both Lady Dorothy and Lady Beatrice were also dressed elegantly; only Alex wore casual clothing, as if he were on a vacation. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, Lady Dorothy met Lady Emma. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the bride! You¡¯re actuallyte!¡± Lady Emma said with a teasing smile. ¡°You are the starlet for the night! It¡¯s okay for you to bete, but why did you bring him to this banquet?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 16 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 16 Lady Emma smiled and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t have a clue? Interesting! You¡¯ll find out soon. By the way, congrattions in advance!¡± Dorothy¡¯s and Alex¡¯s eyes met. They knew something bad was going to happen. Alex had a bad feeling as he saw Spark in the hall. It was almost four o¡¯clock and was already a crowd in the banquet hall. Madame Joanne with rosy cheeks in a in moon-white dress stood under the spotlight. She stretched out both arms and everyone in the hall went silent. ¡°Today is the fifteenth anniversary of Assex Constructions. I would like to thank all of our business partners for your presence tonight.¡± p¡­. p¡­ p¡­ The crowd apuded. ¡°ording to our usual practice, today, the younger generation of the Assex family will be rewarded based on their performance. But this time, there¡¯s a little twist! Because, we have only one winner today, and that¡¯s¡­¡± Madame Joanne paused on purpose. Next, a light shone on Dorothy. ¡°My beautiful granddaughter, Dorothy!¡± ¡°Dorothy has signed a contract worth a billion-dor with Thousand Miles Conglomerate, so that makes her the winner of this year¡¯spetition!¡± ¡°Dorothy, you did well. I¡¯m very proud of you. Now,e up on stage.¡± At this moment, Dorothy became the center of attention. With the face of an angel and devilish figure, Dorothy looked like a symbol of purity and sex appeal. Dorothy¡¯s face blushed, she held Alex¡¯s hand and walked toward the stage. Alex wanted to let go of her hand, but she held on very tightly and said, ¡°You deserve all the credit, you shoulde with me.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Alex took her hand. Seeing this, made many men green with envy. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Finally, they went up on the stage. Madame Joanne gave Alex a nk stare. ¡°I only called for Dorothy. It has nothing to do with garbage like you. Why are you even here?¡± Dorothy said hurriedly, ¡°Grandma, Alex was the reason we managed to sign the contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He was the one who helped me with this project. Without him, I couldn¡¯tplete this billion-dor project.¡± Madame Joanne gave Alex a cold-eyed stare. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Alex nodded, ¡°Yes, Madame!¡± Madame Joanneughed. ¡°Alex, you piece of shit. How can you be so shameless to take credit for this? The billion-dor contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate is your doing? How is that even possible?¡± Dorothy said anxiously, ¡°Grandma, what he said is true.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Madame Joanne said sarcastically, ¡°Dorothy, you¡¯ve been deceived by this fraud. Do you know the meaning behind this billion-dor contract? It¡¯s a wedding gift for you from Rockefeller Group¡¯s young director, Spark! Yesterday, I witnessed and heard with my own eyes and ears that the contract was signed with the help of the head of the Rockefeller family, Sir Bill Rockefeller! Alex, how dare you take the credit! Shameless!¡± Both Alex and Dorothy were stunned. While the rest of the guests in the banquet hall burst intoughter. Then, Spark walked out, dressed in Armani, looking cool. He stood in front of Alex proudly. ¡°Why are you so shameless, Alex? Two days ago, you gave Dorothy a so-called Love in a Fallen City ne. Then, you spread rumors about Gaston Gates having been taken care of. And now you¡¯re taking credit for the contract? Excuse me?¡± Then, Madame ire appeared. Without a word, she pped Alex¡¯s face and shouted, ¡°You¡¯re such a disgrace! Who are you to pull off a billion-dor contract for Dorothy? Sure enough, full of lies! You¡¯re hopeless! You don¡¯t deserve to be my son-inw!¡± Alex had not expected Spark could be so shameless to this extent. How dare he spew nonsense in front of all the guests. But the only thing he cared about was Dorothy. Dorothy¡¯s face turned pale and her eyes became soulless. He hurriedly said, ¡°Dorothy, don¡¯t believe a word that he said, he is lying, I can prove to you the billion-dor contract was my doing.¡± ¡°You rascal!¡± Just then, an old man came up. He was the head of the Rockefeller family, Sir Bill Rockefeller. ¡°Grand¡­Grandfather?¡± Alex looked at Sir Bill Rockefeller in shock. He didn¡¯t expect Sir Bill Rockefeller to be there. ¡°Rascal, I¡¯m not your grandfather!¡± Sir Bill pointed to Alex and scolded, ¡°You¡¯re a disgrace to the Rockefellers! That billion-dor contract was clearly my doing. It was for my grandson, Spark, to give to the Assexes as a wedding gift. It has nothing to do with you! You piece of trash! You don¡¯t deserve to be a Rockefeller! Get lost!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 17 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 17 Alex felt humiliated by Bill Rockefeller. He recalled what happened ten months ago, where his father William had also been humiliated. He said, ¡°Grandpa, why are you lying? I don¡¯t understand. Both William and I are your family, but why are we an eyesore to you?¡± ¡°Why? Because both of you are a disgrace to mankind!¡± Buzz¡ª Alex felt so heartbroken as if a knife stabbed right through it. Tears rolled down his cheeks. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°Dorothy, please trust me, I¡¯ve never lied.¡± Alex looked at Dorothy with his lonely and helpless eyes. But Dorothy pped him and said in tears, ¡°You disappoint me! I thought that you¡¯ve changed, but you¡¯ve be more despicable and shameless. You¡¯re such a terrible liar! I¡¯m sick of you!¡± She took off her wedding ring and threw it at Alex. The ring hit Alex on his face then rolled down to the ground. Alex¡¯s face turned pale. Dorothy¡¯s words rang in his ears. She had said that Alex wouldn¡¯t have the chance to put that ring back on her hand if she took it off again one day. Disdain and insults from the guests were like swords stabbing through him. But Dorothy¡¯s contemptuous look hurt him the most. Madame Joanne said, ¡°Alex, all I ask of you is to divorce Dorothy tomorrow. I¡¯ve agreed to Spark and Dorothy¡¯s marriage! Now get lost! This is the Assex¡¯s party, you¡¯re uninvited!¡± ¡°Wait, Grandma!¡± Spark said, ¡°He is Dorothy¡¯s ex-husband. I want him to witness my proposal to Dorothy today.¡± Madame Joanne smiled and said, ¡°Very well, do as you please.¡± Then, Alex waspletely ignored. Alex witnessed Spark¡¯s proposal to Dorothy. Spark got down on one knee and asked, ¡°Dorothy, will you marry me?¡± The crowd cheered, ¡°Say yes! Say yes! Marry him! Marry him!¡± As Alex saw the proposal, his heart was in such anguish that he couldn¡¯t breathe. Dorothy looked at Alex in disgust and hate, then she slowly nodded. Just then, someone shouted from the main entrance of the hall. ¡°Lord Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate is here to congratte the newlyweds!¡± ¡°Here are some presents for the newlyweds. A pair of golden jade horses, an ancient painting from the Ancient Egyptian Vase from the time of Hatshepsut, a suitcase with 9.9 million dors of cash, and a billion-dor contract!¡± Everyone in the hall stood up instantly after they heard the entrance of Lord Lex Gunther. They were in awe of the gifts he had presented. Everyone wondered about the rtionship between the Assex family with Lord Lex Gunther for him to present them with such extraordinary gifts. The Assex family was thrilled. Madame Joanne hurried over to wee Lord Lex Gunther. Lord Lex Gunther entered the hall apanied by Sir John Gates, Sir Gary Gaston Gates, and a few executives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Madame Joanne with a big smile on her face said, ¡°Lord Lex, it¡¯s an honor to have you here, wee!¡± Lord Lex said, ¡°Madame Joanne, it¡¯s my pleasure. May I ask, where¡¯s Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller?¡± Madame Joanne thought he hade for Spark. She felt so proud of Spark. ¡°They are in the hall. He is proposing to Dorothy now!¡± Lord Lex was curious. ¡°Wow! I¡¯ve never thought that Mr. Rockefeller is so romantic! Interesting! Come, I must see it.¡± Soon, they arrived in front of the stage. Lord Lex Gunther, Sir John Gates, and Sir Gary Gaston Gates were stunned looking at Spark on one knee, with flowers and a ring in his hand proposing to Dorothy. They were confused. They hade here for Alex. Sir John Gates and Sir Gary Gaston Gates had speciallye to apologize to Dorothy. Alex was nowhere to be seen, but they saw Spark proposing to Alex¡¯s wife. Lord Lex puzzled and asked, ¡°Madame Joanne, what¡¯s going on?¡± Madame Joanne misunderstood his question. She smiled and said, ¡°Spark is proposing to Dorothy! Aren¡¯t they the perfect match for each other?¡± Sir John said, ¡°If I remember correctly, Dorothy is married to Mr. Alex¡­¡± Madame Joanne pointed to Alex who was being pushed to a corner andughed, ¡°Are you referring to that trash? He is not worthy to be Dorothy¡¯s husband! They are getting divorced tomorrow.¡± Lord Lex had realized Alex stood at the corner of the hall pitifully mocked. The crowd thenughed. ¡°Alex is a piece of shit. Even his grandfather has disowned him.¡± ¡°Hahaha. Witnessing his wife about to marry another man and couldn¡¯t do a thing about it. How useless!¡± ¡°This trash doesn¡¯t deserve a wife at all! He should be alone for the rest of his life!¡± As Lord Lex saw Master Alex being mistreated, tears rolled down his face. ¡°Shut up!¡± Lord Lex roared and pushed Madame Joanne aside. ¡°All of you are despicable! How dare you insult Master Alex!¡± Lord Gunter was trembling. He hurried over, bowed to Alex, and said, ¡°Master!¡± The crowd that was initiallyughing at Alex was shocked. Everyone kept quiet. They looked at Alex in confusion. Alex took a deep breath and he slowly looked up¡­ The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 18 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 18 ¡°What? Did Lord Lex actually address him as his Master?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Alex an outcast by the Rockefeller family? How can he be associated with Lord Lex who is worth a trillion dors?¡± ¡°Is Alex the real owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? If that is true, he might be the richest man in California or the richest man in America.¡± ¡°Oh my God, that¡¯s a piece of big news! This is so entertaining!¡± Everyone was astonished. They whispered to each other while looking on stage. The whole Assex family was dumbfounded. Madame Joanne¡¯s body was trembling. Madame ire¡¯s eyes were popping out of her head with astonishment. Dorothy covered her mouth. She was perplexed. Alex looked at Lord Lex apathetically and asked, ¡°Lord Lex, why are you here?¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Lord Lex replied, ¡°Master Alex, I heard about the Assex family¡¯s annual banquet. I came to congratte and at the same time, hand over the billion-dor contract. But I didn¡¯t expect to see this.¡± Alex nced over at Dorothy and smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what you have seen.¡± He took the billion-dor contract from Lord Lex and tore it in half. Madame Joanne¡¯s eyes were red in anger. She rushed up and shouted, ¡°Alex! What did you tear?¡± Alex said gently, ¡°This is the stamped billion-dor contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Madame Joanne shouted, ¡°You son of a b*tch! How dare you tear up the contract? You¡¯re dead meat!¡± Lord Lex took the torn contract from Alex¡¯s hand and tore it into pieces. Then he threw it on Madame Joanne¡¯s face, and roared, ¡°You should be the dead meat!¡± At that moment, there was pin-drop silence in the hall. Madame Joanne felt the pain on her face. She panicked and asked, ¡°Lord Lex, please calm down. What¡¯s going on? This billion-dor contract should be a proposal gift from Spark to the Assex family! Bill! Quick! Exin to Lord Lex that you pulled off the billion-dor contract! It must not be torn!¡± If the billion-dor contract was torn, there would be no guarantee for the Assex family¡¯s wealth and status. Madame Joanne pulled Sir Bill over, who was standing next to her. ¡°Haha, haha!¡± Lord Lexughed and stared at Sir Bill. ¡°What did you say? You pulled off the billion-dor contract, to give the Assex family as a gift?¡± Sir Bill had not expected Lord Lex¡¯s presence. He kept quiet and dared not make a sound. Lord Lex pped him angrily and said, ¡°You shameless old hag! Get lost! How are you qualified to pull this off?¡± Everyone started to doubt who was the one to pull off this billion-dor contract. Dorothy¡¯s eyes widened. She started to doubt if it was really a present from her husband, Alex. Madame Joanne panicked and asked, ¡°Lord Lex if it¡¯s not the Rockefeller family who pulled it off? Who did?¡± Lord Gates snorted coldly, ¡°Are you out of your mind? This billion-dor contract is a gift from Master Alex to Lady Dorothy! You don¡¯t deserve mypliment. I¡¯m here for Master Alex!¡± His statement struck like lightning! All doubts were cleared. p! Dorothy pped Spark¡¯s face. ¡°You liar!¡± At that time, Gaston Gates took the opportunity to kick Spark. ¡°Of course he is a liar!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 19 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 19 Gaston immediately knelt before Lady Dorothy, ¡°Mrs. Rockefeller, I¡¯m sorry, I came to beg you for forgiveness. I was blinded by my greed and took fifteen million dors from Spark to do his bidding; to deliberately cause a ruckus and threaten you, all for him to appear as if he¡¯s a hero. He wanted to steal you away from Master Alex. I was wrong, please forgive me.¡± Dorothy¡¯s eyes were filled to the brim with tears and she couldn¡¯t hold them back. Snap! Sir John forcefully grabbed the ne on Madame ire and threw it to the ground, breaking it and said, ¡°This is a forgery of our Love in a Fallen City ne. Not only is this illegal, it is also an insult to ourpany!¡± Everyone was shocked by the revtion. Everything Spark had said was a lie. All of Alex¡¯s ridiculous ims were all true, but everyone had doubted him. At that very moment, Alex felt frustrated. His mind was filled with the scene of Dorothy nodding in agreement to Spark¡¯s proposal. He shed a tear before leaving the hotel swiftly. Dorothy was so distressed that she couldn¡¯t breathe. Alex¡¯s earlier promise was ringing in her mind. ¡° I¡¯ve owed you far too much over the past ten months. I will do my utmost to make it up to you. You¡¯ll have my full support from now on!¡± However, she had not believed in him. She had chosen to believe in a scum. Dorothy was on the ground like a madwoman, frantically looking for the wedding ring that she had just thrown away. As she found it and put it back on, Dorothy ran out of the banquet hall shouting, ¡°My dear husband, it was all my fault! Where are you?¡± Madame Joanne was like a lost soul. ¡°It is all over for us!¡± she thought. It was originally meant to be a great day, but it was all turned upside down. Not only did the Assex family suffer great humiliation in front of many important guests, but they had also lost the billion-dor contract and offended Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Her dreams for the Assex family to achieve great heights hade to an end before it even started. ¡°All of this was caused by Bill and Spark Rockefeller!¡± Madame Joanne thought. She furiously picked up her walking stick and started hitting Bill while screaming, ¡°You damn liar! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± After witnessing this mess, Lord Lex let out an apathetic sigh and left with all his men and the gifts they had brought. After leaving the hotel, Alex went to the hospital. It was the only ce he could seekfort. He wanted to massage his mother¡¯s limbs. It had be part of his daily routine for the past ten months. If a patient in aa did not receive such treatment daily, they would experience muscle atrophy and osteoarthritis. Even if the patient did wake up in the future, they would be unable to move without significant work in physiotherapy. Alex knew all of this as he had read many books, articles, and medical journals on taking care of a comatose patient. Perhaps, he was more knowledgeable regarding the subject than most nurses. At this time, Dr. Cheryl walked in for her routine visit before going off work. Alex saw that she was wearing the Love in a Fallen City ne that he had given her. It really suited her beautiful face and thebination could only be described as angelic. When Dr. Cheryl saw Alex, she smiled and said, ¡°Alex, the ss jewelry that you had gifted me is really beautiful. Many people had been asking where I bought it!¡± ¡°Uh,¡± Alex didn¡¯t know how to respond to Dr. Cheryl¡¯sment. He was dumbfounded. Dr. Cheryl didn¡¯t pay much attention to his response orck of it and conducted the usual checkups for Madame Brittany. As she finished her work, Dr. Cheryl suddenly asked, ¡°Alex, are you free tonight?¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Why?¡± Alex replied. ¡°I want you to be my boyfriend,¡± said Dr. Cheryl. ¡°Huh?¡± Alex was stunned. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 20 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 20 Alex was frozen. She was stunning and her beauty did not pale inparison to Dorothy¡¯s. But Dr. Cheryl¡¯s figure was more voluptuous. Alex felt like he was dreaming. He thought to himself, ¡®Does she know that the ne is actually genuine and is worth thirty million dors? Maybe she¡¯s keeping quiet about it but is now aggressively pursuing me!¡¯ As Alex kept thinking, he wondered if Dr. Cheryl was lonely for the night. Should he agree to her request? As he recalled what had happened earlier, his heart was in anguish and he just couldn¡¯t get over it. He decided to agree to Dr. Cheryl¡¯s request. Dr. Cheryl said, ¡°Well, I have a school reunion dinner tonight and there¡¯s this guy who has been pursuing me for some time. I find him annoying. I would like you to pretend to be my boyfriend and make him stop. Would you be willing to help me?¡± Dr. Cheryl was aware that Alex was married and wouldn¡¯t misunderstand her request. She wouldn¡¯t have asked another person. Alex was a little startled but replied smilingly, ¡°I get it, so this would be just to get rid of a pest. Alright, I¡¯ll help you out.¡± He looked at her seductive body and felt a little disappointed yet relieved. What was he thinking? He was a married man. Suddenly, Alex¡¯s phone rang, and it was a call from Dorothy. It was already her thirteenth call but he¡¯s not ready to speak to her yet. As he recalled the scene of Dorothy nodding in agreement to Spark¡¯s proposal, he was in despair once again. He decided to switch off his phone so that he could have some time to regain his inner peace. Dr. Cheryl saw it all, she smiled and said, ¡°Alex, what¡¯s going on between you and your wife? Is it true that you both still sleep in separate rooms?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Did Chloe tell you that?¡± Dr. Cheryl just nodded. Alex said angrily, ¡°She is such a busybody. Why isn¡¯t she here today?¡± Dr. Cheryl shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I heard that she had an injury and took a few days off.¡± Alex just smiled. He knew what had happened to her. She was pped by the security guard at the L.G. Balfour store and her face was all swollen. She also had a huge fight with her greasy boyfriend. Alex assumed those were the causes of her injury. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Dr. Cheryl said, ¡°I don¡¯t mean to be nosy, but I think that you should have an honest talk with your wife. If you can findmon ground, then you can live on well together. Otherwise, just end the rtionship quickly. There¡¯s no need to prolong both of your suffering.¡± Alex just smiled because he did not know how to react. Dr. Cheryl was finally done with her work and was ready to leave. She politely asked Alex to wait for her to get her clothes changed. Ten minutester, Alex could not believe what was in front of his eyes. Dr. Cheryl was no longer wearing her doctor¡¯s gown. She had changed into a figure-hugging ck striped dress that showed off all her curves. She had let her silky-smooth hair down and her long pair of slender legs could be seen. On top of that, she was wearing the Love in a Fallen City ne that Alex had given her. She could only be described as a goddess among goddesses. Her voluptuous figure was extraordinary. With the figure-hugging dress, she¡¯s basically men¡¯s kryptonite! She noticed Alex staring at her and she immediately blushed, turning bright red. ¡°What are you looking at, silly?¡± She asked. Alex wiped his chin as if there were saliva running down. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, you are really¡­ Really beautiful. Dr. Cheryl happily replied, ¡°From this moment onwards, you are pretending to be my boyfriend, call me Cheryl.¡± ¡°Alright, good!¡± Alex answered. The pair headed out the door and left Dr. Cheryl¡¯s office. On their way down, the elevator was very crowded. When it stopped on the fifth floor, a delivery person entered, and the crowd had to squeeze to make space for him. Dr. Cheryl lost her bnce and could only lean against Alex. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 21 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 21 At that instant, Alex felt happinesse knocking. Deep down in his heart, he thought when God closed one door, He opened another. Dr. Cheryl had wanted to leave, but she couldn¡¯t move an inch. She felt embarrassed and blushed. When they arrived on the first floor, they walked out of the elevator. Dr. Cheryl red at him and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare to mess with me again!¡± Alex was aggrieved and said, ¡°Cheryl, the fault is not mine.¡± At half-past five, they arrived at Urasawa Restaurant. There were not many customers in the restaurant. But the cars that were parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end luxury cars, and cars that¡¯s worth tens of millions. ¡°Urasawa Restaurant is the second most expensive restaurant to dine in in California.¡± ¡°Seems like you have wealthy ssmates to have a reunion gathering here!¡± Alex said with a smile. Dr. Cheryl pouted. ¡°The one who invited us here is the guy I dislike the most, and you¡¯re going to deal with him tonight.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Alex replied. He knew the guy she mentioned was the one who had a crush on her. Right at that time, someone from behind shouted, ¡°Cheryl!¡± Alex saw a young man in a decent suit. He had a slim body figure and he looked excited but slightly nervous. ¡°Are you¡­ Chris Feller?¡± Dr. Cheryl asked. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°Yes, I am! I¡¯m d that you still remembered me! But who is this?¡± Chris looked at Alex anxiously. Chris was so shy that he couldn¡¯t look Dr. Cheryl in the eye. Alex realized that the suit that Chris was wearing wasn¡¯t an expensive branded suit. The color of the suit had slightly faded as if it had been washed many times. Maybe he couldn¡¯t afford to buy a brand new one. Dr. Cheryl said, ¡°He is my friend, Alex.¡± ¡°Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Chris Feller.¡± Alex shook his hand and replied, ¡°Nice to meet you too.¡± Dr. Cheryl asked, ¡°Chris, did youe here alone? Where is your girlfriend?¡± Chris said, ¡°Oh, we broke up! How about him? Is he your boyfriend?¡± With a smile on Dr. Cheryl¡¯s face, she slowly put her arm around Alex¡¯s arm. Alex felt the strangely warm touch on his arm, and he was on cloud nine. Chris nced at Alex and sighed silently. The goddess of their ss had been taken. He felt sad as he had a crush on her. Then, a waiter guided them to the private dining room where the reunion was held. As soon as Chris opened the door, he said excitedly, ¡°Everyone! Look, who I brought?¡± Someone immediately shouted, ¡°Hey nerd, why are you all hyped-up? As if you manage to bring our goddess here.¡± Then, Dr. Cheryl who was hiding behind him said, ¡°Hello everyone!¡± The crowd in the private dining room cheered, which stirred up the atmosphere instantly. ¡°Is this really you, Cheryl Coney, the goddess of our ss?¡± ¡°Well, well, well! It¡¯s been a while, our goddess! We¡¯ve missed you so much!¡± ¡°Come and sit next to Benjamin, he¡¯s missed you the most! He was still wondering if you will attend tonight¡¯s dinner!¡± ¡°Tonight¡¯s dinner is Benjamin¡¯s treat. Otherwise, we can¡¯t afford to dine in here. I heard that this is the best restaurant owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± The rest pushed Dr. Cheryl to sit next to Benjamin, which made her flustered. Alex followed Cheryl and nced at Benjamin. He wore exquisite Versace clothing, satfortably in his chair, and stared at Dr. Cheryl as she walked in. Right then, a female voice said, ¡°Hey, you bastards! Is Cheryl the only one qualified to be a goddess? Have you all forgotten about me? ¡± It was a slightly plump woman with a normal-looking appearance. While talking, she pushed Alex away, looked at him in disgust, and said, ¡°Cleaner, leave the room! You¡¯re in my way! We¡¯ll ask for you when we need you! Get lost now!¡± Alex frowned. Dr. Cheryl grabbed Alex¡¯s arm and said resentfully, ¡°Britney! He is not a cleaner, he is my friend!¡± Britney was startled. ¡°Your boyfriend?¡± At the same time, Benjamin looked at Alex with animosity. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 22 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 22 Cheryl with a pair of beautiful eyes rested her head on Alex¡¯s shoulder and smiled. ¡°Well, Alex, my boyfriend. What do you think? Are we meant for each other?¡± Dr. Cheryl was so beautiful. Many men would dream of having a wife as beautiful as her. Every single move she made captured the hearts of men in the room. Benjamin looked at Alex with so much hatred as if he could kill Alex with his eyes. Everyone else in the room was confused and looked at Benjamin. Then, a man jumped out and said, ¡°Are you kidding, Cheryl? A blind man could see that Benjamin has strong feelings for you! How could you choose a ¡®nobody¡¯ over Benjamin!¡± Some in the room nodded. ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s right! Benjamin is a young director of Golden Light Group. He¡¯s worth several billion dors. Whoever marries him can live in peace for the rest of their lives. Who is this man next to you? He is so poorly dressed as if he works at a construction site. How is he worthy of a goddess like you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m way better than you are. If I still don¡¯t deserve to be given the chance to be Cheryl¡¯s boyfriend, how could you deserve it?¡± ¡°Stop kidding, Cheryl! He doesn¡¯t deserve to be your boyfriend!¡± someone from the crowd shouted. The crowd became more furious and kept insulting both Dr. Cheryl and Alex. Alex stayed calm. He nced at Dr. Cheryl and said earnestly, ¡°Love is more valuable than money. Cheryl epted me because she knew that my love for her is true. She believes that I will be true to her in good times, sickness, and health. I will love and honor her all the days of my life. Moreover, who knows if I will be the richest man in the world in the next few years!¡± ¡°Oh please! Cut it out, can¡¯t you! That wedding vow makes me sick!¡± ¡°Richest man in the world my ass! Even Lord Lex Gunther won¡¯t approve of that. Why should we believe you?¡± ¡°Cheryl, where did you find this piece of shit? Is he a patient from your clinic whom you asked to pretend to be your boyfriend just to annoy Benjamin? Please kick him out, it¡¯s making me sick!¡± Cheryl said angrily, ¡°Enough! How could all of you insult my boyfriend! I¡¯m leaving. Alex, let¡¯s go.¡± Finally, Benjamin stood up from his chair. He ced his hands on the table and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. From now on, no more nonsense from anyone. Since he is Cheryl¡¯s friend, then he will be our friend too.¡± The crowd ate out of Benjamin¡¯s hand. They shut their mouths and kept quiet. Britney rolled her eyes, and immediatelyughed. ¡°Now that is how a real gentleman behaves! You bunch of useless men are just jealous of Cheryl being taken. Look! Even Benjamin could ept them with open arms, why couldn¡¯t you do the same?¡± Britney said that to help Dr. Cheryl relieve the tense atmosphere. It was a reunion gathering after all. Dr. Cheryl had no choice but to look at Alex apologetically and hinted at him to sit down. N?velDrama.Org content rights. Everyone started to chat again. But the topic revolved around ttering Benjamin. Alex couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to those ttering words. Instead, he indulged in the scrumptious food by Urasawa Restaurant. ¡°Alex, this steak is very delicious. Try it!¡± Dr. Cheryl passed him a piece of steak with a big smile on her face. Alex nodded. ¡°Mmm¡­ It tastes good! This fish is delicious too! Here, have more! It¡¯s good for your health too!¡± ¡°Okay! Here! Eat this. It will help to keep your kidney healthy.¡± Dr. Cheryl replied. Both Dr. Cheryl and Alex continued feasting without bothering about what¡¯s happening around them. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 23 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 23 As Benjamin saw Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their dinner, he looked at Alex with fiery eyes. The main reason Benjamin had organized this reunion gathering was to pursue Cheryl. He couldn¡¯t bear to watch Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their sweet moments over dinner. Bootlickers of Benjamin noticed his anger. Then, they turned and looked at Dr. Cheryl and Alex. Britney said, ¡°Hey, your name is Alex, right? Have you never tasted such delicious food before? Do you usually eat lunch at the construction site? What is your upation?¡± After Alex finished swallowing a piece of meat, he replied, ¡°I don¡¯t work at the construction site. I¡¯m currently unemployed.¡± Everyoneughed. Benjamin looked at Dr. Cheryl in deep thought. Since Benjamin had pursued Dr. Cheryl for years, he knew that Dr. Cheryl was a kind-hearted person. She had great insight into choosing the best partner for herself. Dr. Cheryl wouldn¡¯t choose a person who was at the bottom of the social hierarchy like Alex as her partner. Benjamin thought, maybe Dr. Cheryl and Alex were putting on an act to test his patience. So, he pretended to be generous. ¡°Is the food enough? Let me order more for you. Are you looking for a job? A true man should be responsible for his future.¡± Everyone smiled. Britney looked at Alex and said, ¡°Benjamin, it¡¯s hard for some to get a job in thispetitive society. Didn¡¯t Golden Light Group establish a new subsidiary recently? Maybe you can help Alex by arranging for him a cleaner position in thatpany. It¡¯s better than being jobless, staying at home all day.¡± Benjamin shook his head, ¡°No, I can¡¯t. Cheryl¡¯s friend is also my friend. He should at least get a white- cor job. Hey Alex, what is your profession? Let me arrange a decent position for you.¡± Alex sensed Benjamin¡¯s sarcasm. Benjamin was just trying to amuse himself at Alex¡¯s expense. He rolled his eyes and said, ¡°No thanks. I¡¯m fine. ¡± Britney sneered and said, ¡°You really can¡¯t tell chalk from cheese. Or do you really enjoy staying at home being jobless?¡± ¡°He is gluttonous andzy!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a good-for-nothing! Stop dreaming about bing Cheryl¡¯s boyfriend!¡± ¡°Cheryl, where did you find this piece of shit? Are we a fool for you?¡± Insults after insults were heard from the crowd. When Britney was about to excuse herself to the washroom, Benjamin said, ¡°Well, we have our own aspirations. Alex already mentioned that he doesn¡¯t want to work, let¡¯s not mention it anymore. Let¡¯s talk about the new subsidiary. This new subsidiary is a partnership with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It¡¯s a hugepany. We are recruiting five thousand employees and we are still short of managers. If anyone is interested do let me know. I¡¯m sure we can offer you some decent positions.¡± A woman replied, ¡°I never knew it was a partnership with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. That¡¯s incredible. Thousand Miles Conglomerate is thergest group and strongest in the underworld of California. Benjamin, I¡¯m interested!¡± ¡°Count me in too.¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°Me too! Benjamin, you¡¯re our life-saver.¡± ttering words continued to flood the hall. Benjamin looked at Dr. Cheryl arrogantly, but Dr. Cheryl put down the cutlery in her hand and stood up. ¡°Sorry, I have to excuse myself. I have night duties to attend to.¡± ¡°Cheryl, why are you leaving so soon?¡± Benjamin frowned. He was confused. It turned out to be different from what he thought. He thought that Dr. Cheryl should have continued her act with Alex and waited for him to ask permission from her to be his girlfriend. ¡°Sorry, my patient is waiting for me. Alex, let¡¯s go!¡± Dr. Cheryl said. Alex stood up, nodded, and burped after being full of dinner. Alexpletely ignored all the mockeries and focused on his act as Dr. Cheryl¡¯s boyfriend. He was happy that he had a great meal for free! Right then, there was a scream at the door, followed by a pping sound. Then, a woman ran into the room in a panic, her clothes were torn. It was Britney who had gone to the washroom. A man came in after her and cursed. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 24 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 24 ¡°Britney, what happened?¡± Benjamin frowned while he stood up and asked. Britney tried to cover her torn clothes that exposed her skin. She pointed at the middle-aged man who came in and shouted, ¡°That bastard, molested me.¡± The man yelled angrily, ¡°B*tch, who molested you? Hurry up, take out my¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, a bootlicker of Benjamin, Dn Mte, jumped and kicked the middle-aged man in the chest. The man fell to the ground. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡°Goddammit! Who released this maniac? How dare you molest Britney! Why don¡¯t you molest your own sister!¡± Other men also stepped forward. They punched and kicked the man. Then they kicked the man out of the dining room. Dnughed and said, ¡°You son of a b*tch! Let me teach you a lesson! Don¡¯t you dare to do it again!¡± ¡°Way to go, Dn!¡± the crowd cheered. Alex shook his head. Others might not notice, but he noticed that the middle-aged man wasn¡¯t any ordinary man. He wore a custom hand-made shirt from Italy with a small dark plum blossom cufflink. His father used to have one of them. He knew that it was worth three million dors. For someone who could afford this shirt couldn¡¯t be anybody. Besides, he knew Britney was lying from her expression. It couldn¡¯t be that simple. Many pretty women would voluntarily present themselves to a man that could afford a shirt worth three million dors like him. How would he fancy Britney with such an ordinary appearance? To prevent them from getting into something bad, Alex reminded them, ¡°He might be an extraordinary person, I think you guys should back off.¡± Unexpectedly, Dn sneered and said, ¡°Of course you will think that he is extraordinary. Who else in this room is not extraordinary to a low-ranked person like you! You¡¯re such a coward! Get lost! You¡¯re nothing but a toy-boy!¡± A woman said, ¡°Yeah! Even if that person is somebody, so what? This ce belongs to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. No one would dare to cause trouble here. Right, Benjamin?¡± Benjamin said proudly, ¡°Yes! The manager of this restaurant, Ramsay knows me. He respects me. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Alex shook his head and said to Cheryl, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± However, just as they were about to leave their seats, the door of the room was kicked open. About seven to eight security guards of Urasawa Restaurant rushed in aggressively, followed by several well- dressed men. One of them was the middle-aged man that had been beaten up just now. With an electric baton in his hand, the chief of security yelled, ¡°Whoever stole Mr. Edgar¡¯s diamond ring, take it out immediately! Also, whoever hit Mr. Edgar just now, show yourself.¡± Everyone in the dining room was shocked to see such a scene. Even Dn who had shown courage initially was trembling. He was shaking like a leaf as he saw the chief security¡¯s furious look. Britney lowered her head and her face turned pale. ¡°Hurry up!¡± The chief security roared again. Many people looked at Benjamin hoping that he could do something about it. Benjamin noticed a man behind the security guards. It was Manager Ramsay from Urasawa Restaurant. He immediately walked towards him and said, ¡°Manager Ramsay, I¡¯m Benjamin Smith from Golden Light Group. I believe there must be a misunderstanding!¡± Unfortunately, Manager Ramsay, who was usually polite to him, didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he stared at him coldly. Benjamin felt that something was wrong. The middle-aged man who was beaten up jumped out, pointed at Britney, and said, ¡°That¡¯s her! That b*tch stole my diamond ring and pped me!¡± Two security guards immediately rushed over and held Britney up. Britney struggled desperately, but she couldn¡¯t break free. She asked Benjamin for help repeatedly, ¡°Benjamin, please help me! I didn¡¯t steal the diamond ring! Please save me!¡± Benjamin was the host of this dinner gathering. If words about him being a coward spread, it would ruin his reputation and Dr. Cheryl might look down on him. As he was about to say, ¡°Manager Ramsay, my dad is¡­¡± Manager Ramsay red and interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t be a fool, liar.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 25 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 25 Benjamin¡¯s heart trembled when he heard Manager Ramsay¡¯s warning. He didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking a word after that. Everyone else was afraid to speak after they saw Benjamin kept quiet. Especially those who had beaten up the middle-aged man just now, they were shivering. ¡°This bastard was the one that hit me the hardest.¡± The man said while pointing at Dn. Another few security guards immediately arrested Dn with his hands cuffed behind. ¡°Where is my diamond ring? Give it back to me!¡± The man stared at Britney coldly. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t steal it.¡± Britney said in fear. Manager Ramsay replied, ¡°How about you admit it and give back the diamond ring. You can¡¯t deny what you¡¯ve done. There are surveince cameras in our restaurant which have recorded everything.¡± Britney shook her head in denial. The furious middle-aged man tore Britney¡¯s clothes and roughly searched her body. Britney yelled and burst into tears, seeking help from Benjamin desperately. But Benjamin stood there and did nothing. Alex took revenge by standing by and watched what happened to Britney who had mocked him a while ago. Dr. Cheryl was kind-hearted. She couldn¡¯t bear watching her ssmate being bullied. When she was about to speak, a ring fell out of Britney¡¯s pants. It fell to the ground and made a tinkling sound. It was a diamond ring. From the looks of it, the diamond at least weighed five carats, which was worth more than ten million dors. Dr. Cheryl was astounded. She swallowed her words. Everyone else was astounded too. They didn¡¯t expect Britney to steal and hide the diamond ring here. Who knew that she was a thief! Bam! Bam! Bam! The man punched Britney in her face and kicked her, ¡°What is this? Are you a magician? Can you make this ring that cost twenty million dors to appear out of nowhere?! You filthy thief!¡± Britney cried, ¡°I picked it up from the washroom.¡± Alex shook his head. Being caught red-handed for a twenty million dors worth of diamond ring, no wonder Britney took the risk to deny it. Did she really think that she could possess the diamond ring that she had picked up from the washroom? Manager Ramsay pped Britney. ¡°Take her out, I will deal with herter.¡± Edgar beat Dn up as revenge. He punched Dn¡¯s face with his fist. Then he grabbed the electric baton and swung it hard onto Dn¡¯s leg. Crack! Dn¡¯s calf bone broke. ¡°Arghhhhh!¡± Dn screamed. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Dr. Cheryl couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This is too much! Britney was the one who stole your diamond ring! Dn has nothing to do with this! How could you vent your anger and break his leg!¡± The middle-aged man raised his head and saw Dr. Cheryl, his eyes brightened. N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°Did I go overboard? Of course not!¡± He looked at Cheryl, ¡°There were more who beat me up just now. My initial idea was to break all their legs. But now I¡¯ve changed my mind. Since you begged for mercy, I will spare them if you apany me to Hilton Hotel.¡± Cheryl¡¯s face turned pale. She red in anger. Alex couldn¡¯t stay out of it anymore since Dr. Cheryl was involved. He put his hand in his pocket and said, ¡°Alright, stop it! What happened today, can you just let it go for my sake?¡± Everyone looked at Alex in confusion. The room was inplete silence. They felt like they were watching an idiot making a fool out of himself by thinking that Edgar would let things go for his sake! They thought that he would be dead meat. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 26 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 26 ¡°Who are you? How are you qualified to ask me to do a favor for you?¡± Edgar looked at Alex with a disgruntled look. He shed an angry smile and said, ¡°Is she yours? Very well, I¡¯ll teach her a lesson in front of you. Are you going to just stand there and watch? Who is your patron? I¡¯m really interested to know him!¡± ¡°Hold him down!¡± Edgar said to the security guards. At this moment, Dr. Cheryl¡¯s ssmates were entertained to see how Alex dug his own grave. Dr. Cheryl was unable to fend for herself while being publicly insulted. Even Benjamin was forced to keep quiet. ¡°You¡¯ll regret this!¡± Alex said angrily. ¡°Damn, this guy is still acting tough! I can¡¯t stand the sight of him, he¡¯s obnoxious. Hurry up and take him down!¡± said Edgar. Manager Ramsay answered Edgar¡¯s orders instantly. He didn¡¯t bother to look at Alex¡¯s expression. He was asking for trouble. Dr. Cheryl was scared to death. She was worried that Alex couldn¡¯t handle so many of them. Furthermore, these people worked for Thousand Miles Conglomerate, which was known to be the king of the underworld in California! No one would ever dare to mess with them. They were brutal and aggressive. Whoever got beaten up by these people would be dead meat. Even Dr. Cheryl¡¯s grandfather who was the best doctor in California couldn¡¯t save him. Just then, Alex threw out a ck card, ¡°Look. Do you recognize this?¡± ¡°A credit card? Are you trying to bribe me with money? How dare you insult me in my territory!¡± The manager mocked. He nced at the card and swiped it off Alex¡¯s hand. As the card fell on the ground, Manager Ramsay¡¯s smile was gone and his eyes were frozen, ¡°This is¡­¡± He picked the card up hurriedly and examined it carefully. He held the card in his trembling hands and asked, ¡°From where did you get this Supreme VIP Card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± At that moment, the security guards were about to rush upon Alex to take him down. Manager Ramsay stopped them, ¡°Stop! Hold your horses!¡± The crowd was shocked. Benjamin and the rest were extremely surprised. They couldn¡¯t believe that this trash had a Supreme VIP Card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It¡¯s said that this card was a memento from Lord Lex Gunther. Whoever possessed this card should be treated the same as how they would treat Lord Lex Gunther. They couldn¡¯t believe Alex had anything to do with Lord Lex Gunther. Edgar panicked. If the card really belonged to Alex, he would be in hot soup for what he had done to Dr. Cheryl a while ago! He couldn¡¯t ept it. Edgar said, ¡°Ramsay, are you certain that this Supreme VIP Card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate is genuine? It¡¯s not a fake?¡± Manager Ramsay wasn¡¯t sure about it. Alex said, ¡°You can give Lord Lex a call to confirm this.¡± Manager Ramsay dared not call up Lord Lex. Instead, he made a phone call to the main person in charge of Urasawa Restaurant, who was also an executive of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Since he couldn¡¯t confirm the authenticity of this card, the person that he was about to call could confirm it. Soon, a middle-aged man hurried over. He didn¡¯t bother to look at the card. As he saw Alex, his face changed instantly. He walked up to Alex and made a full ny-degree bow. Then, he said respectfully, ¡°Master Alex!¡± Everyone was so shocked. Especially Benjamin. His heart was beating like a wild animal trying to escape his chest. When he recalled what he had done to Alex throughout the dinner, he suddenly felt that he was lucky enough to still be alive. He had seen this person in charge of Urasawa Restaurant once. Even his father paid respect to this man. If he had offended this man, his family would be in big trouble! But this man, whom many respected, bowed down to Alex and addressed him as a master! ¡°I¡¯m Bernard, the person in charge of Urasawa Restaurant. Your wish is mymand,¡± said Bernard. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Bernard was at Hell¡¯s Angels that night, so he knew about Alex¡¯s identity. Therefore, he addressed Alex as master sincerely. Alex said, ¡°They suspect that my card is fake. Please confirm its authenticity!¡± Bernard looked up and scowled at Manager Ramsay. He gave Ramsay a hard p. ¡°How can you not recognize the Supreme VIP card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate! You¡¯re not qualified to be the manager of Urasawa Restaurant! You¡¯re fired, get out of here!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 27 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 27 Ramsay¡¯s face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat. But he dared not bleat. He nodded and walked away in despair. He left the room. Bernard then asked, ¡°Master Alex, did anyone here offend you?¡± Alex brushed his hair with his fingers and said, ¡°Nothing serious. But this dude here insulted my girlfriend in front of me. I¡¯m not sure how I should deal with him.¡± Bernard raged, ¡°You piece of shit! You signed your own death warrant. Guards! Throw him into the river and drown him!¡± Everyone was frightened. Edgar felt a shiver run down his spine. He hurriedly said, ¡°Wait! I am the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. I¡¯m associated with Lord Lex Gunther of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. You can¡¯t do this to me!¡± As he finished his words, Bernard pped his face. p! ¡°Do you think that Lord Gunther will bother to help you? Drown him!¡± said Bernard. Edgar panicked and he dropped on both knees pleading, ¡°No, please! I was wrong, I apologize! Let me compensate you, Mr. Bernard. Master¡­ Master Alex, please just give me a chance, I¡¯d owe you a big time.¡± He was really frightened. The king of the underworld would always suit the action to the words. Once a kill order was given, it would be executed. Dr. Cheryl couldn¡¯t bear to see a murder. She held Alex¡¯s hand. Then she shook her head gently. Alex nodded, smiled at her, and said, ¡°Forget about it. Exempt him from drowning. My girlfriend can¡¯t bear to see this kind of thing. Break one of his legs as a punishment so he will never forget what he did.¡± Snap! A security guard broke Edgar¡¯s left leg straight away. Dr. Cheryl covered her face as she couldn¡¯t bear to see it. Alex said, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a wrap! I ate too much, let¡¯s go for a walk!¡± Bernard handed back the Supreme VIP card and greeted, ¡°Goodbye, Master Alex.¡± The rest of the security guards bowed and greeted, ¡°Goodbye, Master Alex.¡± As Alex and Dr. Cheryl left the restaurant, Benjamin and the rest looked like they had just woken up from a dream. They were drenched in sweat. While Dr. Cheryl was strolling with Alex, she asked, ¡°Actually, who are you?¡± Alexughed. ¡°Look at you! Are you scared of me because of what just happened?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard about the famous Supreme VIP card of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Those with this card are as high ranked as Lord Lex Gunther. But he is not a good person. Are you close to him?¡± Dr. Cheryl asked. Alex shrugged and said, ¡°I¡¯m not! This card belongs to my father. My father has done business with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. That¡¯s how he got this card. But now, he¡¯s gone. So, you have nothing to worry about me being associated with him.¡± Dr. Cheryl patted herself on her voluptuous breast, ¡°So it is. Now, I¡¯m relieved.¡± She paused and continued, ¡°Thank you for what you did for me just now. If it weren¡¯t for you, I¡¯d be embarrassed.¡± Alex was flustered by the movement of her voluptuous breast. He blurted, ¡°Is that all?¡± Dr. Cheryl was annoyed. ¡°What do you want more from me? Marry you? Don¡¯t you dare!¡± ¡°Cough, cough, I was just pulling your leg,¡± Alex said. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Then, they bid farewell at the intersection. Alex sat alone on the side of the road and thought to himself, ¡®Where should I go? Should I stay in a hotel tonight? Or should I go back to the Assex family?¡¯ Deep down in his heart, he didn¡¯t want to go back to the Assex family. Alex thought that maybe Dorothy would be very worried about him since she rang upon him a dozen times and he did not respond for quite some time. ¡°You believed in the scum but not me! Even nodded and agreed to him! You fool!¡± Alex said to himself. After a while, he turned his phone back on. More than thirty text messages from Dorothy flooded in. All the messages were to apologize. Before he could finish reading them, Dorothy called. Alex hesitated. Then, he answered the call. ¡°Honey, where are you?!¡± Dorothy was crying. Alex felt heartbroken when he heard Dorothy¡¯s cry. But he held back and pped himself. He toughened up and said, ¡°Stop calling me honey. You¡¯re Spark¡¯s fianc¨¦ now. I¡¯m no longer your husband. I don¡¯t deserve to be your husband.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 28 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 28 ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. I never promised him. You¡¯re my husband!¡± cried Dorothy. Alex said, ¡°Do you think that I¡¯m blind? I witnessed it!¡± Dorothy said, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t, I didn¡¯t mean to do that. I¡¯m sorry, honey. Where are you? I want to see you. Let me exin and apologize to you. I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t believe Spark. You can punish me or hit me. Please, let¡¯s meet up.¡± When Alex heard Dorothy pleading so desperately on the phone, his anger subsided. But he gave it another thought. ¡®Oh, crap! When Lord Lex put on a show at the Assexes, he addressed me as Master Alex. Does it mean that my identity has been exposed? The Assex family are bloodsuckers, they certainly want me to go back. Then, they will want my help to re-sign the billion-dor contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. D*mn those fools, go to hell!¡¯ he thought in his mind. Then, he asked, ¡°Did youe to apologize because you were told to do so by Madame Joanne?¡± Dorothy said immediately, ¡°No, I want to apologize. Honey, have you already forgotten what kind of person I am? I was worried sick when you didn¡¯t answer my call. Tell me where you are now! You can make me do anything when we meet.¡± Alex sighed and told her his location. Then, he called Lord Lex. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°Master! Where are you? I¡¯ve tried to reach you but couldn¡¯t get through! Are you alright?¡± Lord Lex worriedly asked, ¡°I me myself for my negligence, I didn¡¯t know that you had to endure all these bullshit in the Assex¡¯s residence.¡± Alex said, ¡°It¡¯s alright! Well, the misunderstandings had been resolved. My wife asked me to return. But now that the Assexes are aware of our rtionship, they will force me to get back the billion-dor contract from you. If I¡¯d call you, you must not agree to it.¡± Lord Lex said, ¡°Should I burn thepany down instead?¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°No need.¡± Then they discussed the details and hung up. Twenty minutester. Dorothy arrived in a car. ¡°Honey!¡± Dorothy shouted. Dorothy came out of the car. She was in a panic and regret. She hugged Alex tightly and said, ¡°Honey, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have doubted you. You can punish me as you please!¡± p! Alex pped her hard on her back. ¡°Ouch!¡± Dorothy said with a cry, ¡°Did you just hit me?¡± Alex said coldly, ¡°Did you think that I was joking? Who told you not to believe me? What¡¯s worse, you agreed to Spark¡¯s proposal. Were you seriously considering leaving me? Don¡¯t you deserve that hit?¡± Dorothy felt bad and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry honey. I was wrong. I was confused. I don¡¯t know what I was doing. I was disappointed when I thought that you lied to me, that¡¯s why I agreed to Spark¡¯s proposal as revenge. I¡¯m sorry, you can hit me a little bit harder, don¡¯t feel bad about it!¡± Alex was frozen. All his rage was gone after hearing what she said. Alex embraced their hug, felt warm, and whispered, ¡°Forget it, you were just caught in the moment. It was Spark, that shameless asshole, that nned this fraud with Madame Joanne.¡± Then, he hugged her tightly and said, ¡°Dorothy, you seem to have gained weight.¡± ¡°Have I?¡± Dorothy blushed, and she tried to push away her husband, but eventually, she held back. Soon. They were back in the Assex¡¯s vi. They didn¡¯t expect toe back to a group of people gathering there. Madame Joanne, Benny Assex, Anderson Assex, Emma Assex, and many more of the Assex family were in the living room, restlessly and anxiously waiting for Alex¡¯s return. They were all present because they knew that they had offended Lord Lex of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. A single word from Lord Lex could destroy the Assex family instantly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 29 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 29 However, the opposite could also be said. Anyone who got on the good side of Thousand Miles Conglomerate would flourish. As Alex appeared, Madame Joanne was the first person to greet him. Contrary to her previous behavior, Madame Joanne was smiling from ear to ear. It was as if she¡¯s another person. She took Alex by his hand and said, ¡°Alex, it was all my fault. I was wrong to judge you so quickly; it was my mistake. This was all caused by Spark and Bill! We were all deceived by their words!¡± Standing behind her, Benny Assex, Anderson Assex and other members of the Assex family were all smiling apologetically. Alex said in a nonchnt voice, ¡°Since it is a misunderstanding, then it¡¯s no big deal. I am going to bed as I¡¯m feeling tired.¡± Madame Joanne hurriedly said, ¡°Please hold! Just now Lord Lex tore up the billion-dor contract that was promised to us. What is the rtionship between you and Lord Lex? Could you give him a call and ask him to sign the contract again?¡± Anderson Assex said, ¡°Yes, it seems that Lord Lex thinks very highly of you. Why don¡¯t you exin the situation to him? Forget the billion-dors contract, if he¡¯s willing to help our Assex family, we could really be a first-rate business family in California!¡± Anderson¡¯s words had Madame Joanne¡¯s face lighting up. ¡°Right! I also heard that Lord Lex has several godsons. Our Assex family also has several granddaughters who are yet to marry. You should mention it to Lord Lex! Maybe the Assex family and the Gunther family can be inws!¡± Alex was speechless. The members of the Assex family were truly shameless. He pretended to smile and replied, ¡°Lord Lex and I barely know each other. He owed my father a favor. When I went to look for him, he promised to return the favor to me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Madame Joanne asked. ¡°It was just a favor?¡± The Assexes were disappointed after hearing what Alex had said. Once the favor had been returned, they would have nothing left to gain from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Madame Joanne was restless and said, ¡°Since it is a favor, he should honor his words! Alex, try to call Lord Lex to exin that everything was Spark¡¯s fault. Please ask him to agree to the contract again.¡± Alex nodded and made the phone call. He also deliberately turned on the loudspeaker, so that everyone could hear what was being said. When the call was connected, Alex immediately tried to exin the matter to Lord Lex. After which Alex asked, ¡°Lord Lex, could you please re-sign the contract?¡± Lord Lex answered, ¡°Alex my boy, I went through the trouble of attending Assex Constructions¡¯ anniversary banquet. I consider the favor I owed to your father repaid. As for the contract that was ripped to pieces, the Assex family only have themselves to me. Do you think they deserve the contract? Those people are willing to sell their daughters for it. Do not bother to contact me again, or I shall eradicate the Assex family.¡± This of course was a ploy nned by Alex and Lord Lex. The faces of all members of the Assex family turned pale when they heard what Lord Lex had said. Madame Joanne signaled to Alex to stop his conversation. If the conversation was allowed to continue, it could spell the doom of the Assex family.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g After Alex hung up the phone, all members of the Assex Family kicked themselves repeatedly in remorse. ¡°Oh my god!¡± Madame Joanne gasped. ¡°Just like that, the billion-dor contract is gone! Our golden ticket to have a meteoric rise is gone. It is all Spark and Bill¡¯s fault!¡± Madame Joanne¡¯s expression was the worst, her face was furiously looking at Alex. She¡¯s nothing more than a two-faced snake. Just a moment ago, she was all smiles. She pointed at Alex and yelled, ¡°You useless piece of trash! Why didn¡¯t you tell us that Lord Lex was returning your father¡¯s favor? If you told us earlier, we would have known Spark and Bill were lying! Such a golden opportunity for the Assex family was lost and it¡¯s all your fault!¡± Lady Emma chimed in, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s the one who tore the contract first! He really is a piece of garbage. It was a golden opportunity, but he decided to act all cool and nonchnt about it.¡± Dorothy said angrily, ¡°That¡¯s enough, if it weren¡¯t for you all meeting up with Spark and Bill, none of this would have happened. How could you ce the me on my husband? He¡¯s the one who¡¯s trying to help the family.¡± Lady Emma sneered, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same? You even agreed to Spark¡¯s marriage proposal!¡± Dorothy was angry and embarrassed. The members of the Assex family left one by one, all cussing Alex and their misfortune. Although the billion-dor contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate had been cancelled, at least Lord Lex would note after them. After Madame Joanne had left, Madame ire immediately pointed at Alex and said, ¡°Are you as dumb as a rock? Lord Lex owes your father a favor and you used it for Assex Constructions? Why didn¡¯t you use it for us, for your family?¡± Madame ire was aggrieved. Lord Lex¡¯s gifts were almost in their clutches but it¡¯s all gone now. Alex was not feeling angry at all but felt at ease. Alex thought, ¡®I¡¯m rich but I won¡¯t tell you! I will not give you a single cent!¡¯ Dorothy said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t you bring up this matter again. Alex could have brought us riches, but we did not appreciate it.¡± Madame ire¡¯s expression turned sour, ¡°If he had kept the nine million dors gift from Lord Lex, I would not be this mad at him! Why not just marry Spark? At least he is the young director of Rockefeller Group. Unlike this useless piece of trash!¡± Dorothy¡¯s face also turned sour. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t you ever mention the name of that disgusting animal ever again, or you will never see me again. He set up such a deceitful scheme for me to step in, yet you are still thinking about him? Am I really your daughter?¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Madame ire finally stopped talking about Spark, ¡°I won¡¯t mention that person again. About the Love in a Fallen City ne, was it the real thing?¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°It was real.¡± Madame ire and her daughters jumped out of their seats as they heard what Alex had said. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 30 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 30 Beatrice¡¯s eyes immediately widened. ¡°Did you really buy a ne that costs thirty million dors? How much money did you receive from Lord Lex?¡± Madame ire was also curious. Alex shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t have much money. The ne was a gift from Lord Lex. The wedding ring that I got back was free of charge too.¡± Madame ire loudly pped her own thighs. ¡°Oh my god! How could you hand the thirty million dors ne away? Are you an imbecile?¡± Alex replied, ¡°It was you who threw it away.¡± Madame ire remembered that she was the one who had thrown the ne on the ground and deeply regretted it! Beatrice said, ¡°I remember that the woman who took the ne was someone you know. She is¡­ Dr. Cheryl, isn¡¯t it? Can you please ask for the ne back?¡± Madame ire¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Oh yes, we must get it back.¡± Alex shook his head. He was too embarrassed to ask! He had just pretended to be Dr. Cheryl¡¯s boyfriend. He¡¯s even more embarrassed by the incident in the elevator. So, he decided to tell a lie, ¡°I went to ask for it, but she thought it was just an imitation made of ss and gave it to a little girl.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Dorothy¡¯s jaw hit the floor. Madame ire felt hopeless. ¡°My god, that is thirty million dors¡¯ worth of jewelry. Did you look for the little girl?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I went to look for her¡­ But it has been days since she received it. The little girl is only five years old, she tossed it away and it was impossible for us to locate it.¡± Madame ire went berserk and almost couldn¡¯t contain her urge to kill Alex. Dorothy also felt a slight pinch in her heart as the ne was worth thirty million dors after all. However, she¡¯s not as greedy as her mother. Dorothy said, ¡°Since it¡¯s lost, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it.¡± Then, she took Alex by his hand and led him upstairs. Madame ire was exasperated. ¡°You are not allowed to go to the second floor with him.¡± Dorothy said, ¡°I¡¯ll just have a few words with him.¡± After entering the room, Alex was slightly taken aback. It was the first time he had ever stepped foot in Dorothy¡¯s room since their marriage. ¡°Alex, don¡¯t me my mother. You know how she is money-centric; I do not want that ne, I just want you¡­ Forget it, don¡¯t speak of it anymore.¡± Dorothy suddenly turned serious, ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip tomorrow for an exhibition. I¡¯ll be away for three or four days.¡± Alex frowned. ¡°Can¡¯t you send someone else? You¡¯re the boss.¡± N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Dorothy stared at him indignantly. ¡°I¡¯m just the branch manager of a subsidiarypany. I must handle almost all business matters on my own. As a man, don¡¯t you think you should be helping me out?¡± Alex replied, ¡°My dear Dorothy, you can rest assured that I will definitely help you. Even though the billion-dor deal with Thousand Miles Conglomerate has fallen apart, I¡¯ll pull the strings to get you two or even three billion-dor contracts.¡± Dorothy frowned a little and gazed at Alex. ¡°Why do I still feel like you are just spewing empty promises? You should be more down to earth and not be blinded by your confidence. The favor of Lord Lex is not given casually,¡± Dorothy said. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 31 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 31 Alex thought, ¡®If you knew that I was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, you wouldn¡¯t have said that.¡¯ However, now wasn¡¯t the time to reveal that yet. Dorothy added, ¡°I hope you take some time to think about what you even want to do in the future. You¡¯re a full grown man and yet you¡¯re doing nothing with your life! I know what you¡¯re going to say, that you need to take care of your mom. But you can always hire a caretaker, can¡¯t you? Just get a job, or you can work in mypany.¡± Alex was put in a difficult spot, as he didn¡¯t want to leave his mother to caretakers. However, under Dorothy¡¯s re, he nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll think about it.¡± The next morning, Alex gave a ride to Dorothy to the airport in her car. She met up with a few colleagues there as they were going to attend an exhibition in Block City. Alex then drove back home. On the way home, he received a call. It was from Cheryl. ¡°Alex, you need toe to the hospital now. It¡¯s about your mother.¡± Alex gasped, ¡°What happened to mom?¡± Cheryl replied seriously, ¡°We¡¯ll talk when you arrive.¡± Alex could feel his chest tightening. He immediately rushed to the hospital as fast as he could. Alex realized that Brittany¡¯s condition was worsening. He didn¡¯t need an exnation from Cheryl as the life support monitor showed her vital signs. Plus he had seen many cases of vegetative states in the past. He knew his mother was in thest hours of her life. This was the worst possible ending for them, and Alex felt helpless. She was like an extinguishing candlelight¡ªno one was able to change her fate. ¡°Mom¡ª¡± Alex cried aloud, as tears poured down like a storm. He wrapped his arms around Brittany¡¯s body, shaking it vigorously. ¡°Mom, wake up. Don¡¯t go, please don¡¯t go¡­¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Like a child, he cried and cried until his voice went hoarse. Cheryl pitied Alex. She ced her hand on his shoulder and said, ¡°Alex, we¡¯ve done all that we could. But I¡¯m afraid we are still not able to save her. I¡¯m really sorry. She has¡­ an hour at most.¡± Alex could hear his heart shattering. He stood up and grabbed Cheryl by the arm, still crying. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, isn¡¯t your grandfather the best doctor in California? Can¡¯t he save my mom? Please call your grandfather over, please hurry!¡± However, Cheryl shook her head. ¡°My grandpa dide by earlier. But he¡­ couldn¡¯t help either.¡± ¡°Ahhhh¡ª¡± Alex howled in anguish, pulling onto his hair and hitting himself on the head repeatedly. Cheryl immediately stepped in. ¡°Alex, get a hold of yourself.¡± Alex turned around and hugged Cheryl tightly. Her shoulder was damp from his tears. Cheryl could empathize with his pain. So, she wrapped her arms around him,forting him. Suddenly, ire walked into the ward. Seeing Alex and Cheryl hugging each other, ire could feel her blood boiling. She rushed over to them and pped both Alex and Cheryl hard across the face. She then red at Cheryl and scolded, ¡°Well isn¡¯t this just great? I caught you bastards red-handed this time! I can¡¯t believe you would do this in the ward! Have you no shame? Rockefeller, my daughter just boarded the ne not long ago and you¡¯re already cheating on her? Why don¡¯t you just kill yourself!!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 32 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 32 The p startled Cheryl. It made her cheek burn up. And the worst part was what ire had said. Cheryl knew that she was innocent¡ªshe was just a doctor, nothing else. Why did she have to endure such treatment? ire¡¯s loud yelling caught the attention of numerous nurses and families in the hospital. Cheryl was pissed off. ¡°Please mind your words, madam. Please do not spout such nonsense.¡± ire was an extremely hot-tempered woman, the type to hold a grudge and get revenge. She swung her hand again, pping Cheryl across the face. Cheryl couldn¡¯t even dodge it. ire yelled, ¡°Bullsh*t! Mind my words? Anyone would know that you¡¯re the one who should mind your words! Seducing someone else¡¯s husband like the sl*t that you are, and even hugging in public like this! Why don¡¯t you just admit to being a shameless sl*t? I saw everything! There¡¯s even saliva on your clothes! You guys just aren¡¯t naked yet¡­¡± Everyone was looking at them now, gossiping softly. Cheryl was so triggered she felt like bursting in anger. Alex was still in a daze just a while ago. But he snapped back to reality and pulled ire aside. ¡°Mum, don¡¯t use Dr. Cheryl. We didn¡¯t do anything. I¡­ I was just too sad and wanted a hug.¡± ¡°Sad and wanted a hug? So you¡¯re saying that you¡¯d get in bed with her if you¡¯re sadder, huh?¡± ire said. Suddenly, she noticed that the Love in a Fallen City ne was hanging around Cheryl¡¯s neck. Her expression darkened. ¡°And if you say you¡¯re not cheating, what is she wearing around her neck then? You lied to me yesterday. You said you gave it to a five-year-old girl. What is that then? Is she a five-year-old girl? You jerk, you¡¯ve been living off of us and yet you¡¯re here clinging to another woman. What kind of man are you?¡± Alex wasn¡¯t in the mood to quarrel. He yelled with reddened eyes, ¡°Can you just stop this please? My mom is dying, she¡¯s dying! Can¡¯t you see?¡± He brought his hands to his face and wiped his tears. ire turned to look at Brittany. Lacking sympathy, she huffed, ¡°She¡¯s better off dead. She¡¯s no different from being dead now anyway.¡± ¡°What did you say? I dare you to say that again!¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll say it again! I said, since your mom is better off dead, she won¡¯t be a burden then!¡± With a loud smack, Alex pped ire hard across her face. ire was very taken aback by his actions. She burst into fury, lunging forward to fight Alex. ¡°You bastard! How dare you p your mother-inw, you piece of trash! Karma¡¯s going to get you for this! You should just die along with your mother! I¡¯ll have my daughter divorce you as soon as shees back! I won¡¯t tolerate you and have your ungrateful ass under my roof. Get out of our lives!¡± She scratched Alex, formingcerations on his body. Alex¡¯s blood boiled with anger. He pinned her to the wall and swung his fist towards her direction. ire screamed in horror. With a loud thud, she realized that Alex¡¯s punchnded on the wall instead. She pushed Alex away immediately, running for her life. Alex¡¯s knuckles were now bleeding profusely¡ªit was an awfully gory sight. He suddenly felt numb and flopped to the ground with a pained expression. Blood was seeping into the ck ring he was wearing, but no one noticed. A dim light shone through the ring and entered Alex¡¯s body in a sh. ¡°Ah!¡± Alex could feel immense pain in his head. He screamed out loud as the pain engulfed his consciousness. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± ¡°Did he faint from crying too much?¡± ¡°Oh what a pity, Alex is such a filial child!¡± Everyone chattered in the back. They couldn¡¯t bear seeing Alex like this as they all knew what type of person Alex was. As for ire, no one believed any of the usations she had made. ¡°Alex? Alex!¡± Cheryl rushed to Alex and knelt down beside him. He wasn¡¯t moving at all. She then urged the crowd to give them some space and carried him onto a bed with the help of a few other nurses. One of the nurses asked, ¡°Dr. Coney, what happened to him?¡± Cheryl replied, ¡°It could be that he couldn¡¯t ept his mother¡¯s fate. Let¡¯s just let him rest here for a while.¡± Alex was in an unconscious trance. His consciousness seemed to have entered some weird space. A blurry figure appeared in front of him, and whispered into his ear, ¡°I am ine Rockefeller, the God of Medicine, your ancestor.¡± ¡°What? God of Medicine? Hey, hey, what are you saying? What ancestor?¡± Alex was in shock. ¡°You¡¯re wearing the ck dragon ring, and you have my blood in you. How am I not your ancestor?¡± The voice said. ¡°The ck dragon ring is something we leave to our descendants. With your blood, I hereby gift you a chance of a lifetime: the Ultimate Book of Medicine. With the breath of the gods, you, as my sessor, are to deliver all sentient beings from suffering¡­¡± ¡°Huh? What skills?¡± Alex was slightly taken back, yet arge amount of information rushed into his mind before he could even react. He could feel a strong gush of energy flowing through his entire body. Alex felt as if he was surrounded by ocean water. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. Suddenly, there was a stinging pain in his head. He jerked up from the bed with a scream. He rubbed the back of his head. He felt as if he just had a strange dream. However, he realized that he really received the Ultimate Book of Medicine. ¡°Holy sh*t, was that all real?¡± Alex murmured in disbelief. ¡°Right, what was that ck dragon ring the guy mentioned? ¡°Could it be the ring that dad gave me?¡± He immediately looked for his ring and realized that it had shattered into pieces. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 33 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 33 Holy sh*t! Alex explored his mind¡ªit literally felt like a book, the pages flipping on its own as the vast amount of information rearranged and presented themselves: Traditional medicine, witch doctors, voodoo, charms, even medicinal martial arts. Everything came to him just a blink of an eye, engulfing his thoughts. Alex¡¯s body rxed as he felt the warm energy course through his body. ¡°Alex, Alex?¡± Cheryl¡¯s voice rang in Alex¡¯s ears, snapping him back into reality. He blinked. ¡°Huh? Dr. Coney, where am I? Where¡¯s Mom?¡± Cheryl replied, ¡°Alex, you just fainted¡­¡± Just then, a nurse rushed over. ¡°Dr. Coney, the patient Brittany Rockefeller has stopped breathing¡­¡± The lot rushed towards Brittany¡¯s ward. Alex saw his mother lying still in the bed, her face as pale as a sheet and the ECG in a straight line. A doctor approached them, shaking her head. ¡°Mom! Oh Mom¡­¡± Alex cried loudly as he rushed to Brittany¡¯s bedside. However, a bundle of information shed through his mind: the vein of the brain was clogged by a blood clot; the stomach and the spleen were weakening; the lungs and heart had temporarily stopped functioning; all four limbs didn¡¯t have enough blood flow, hence causing unconsciousness. She was in a state of suspended animation. He could still save her with the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell! Alex had no idea how he knew any of this information, as if he was some medic expert. He could just identify everything with one look. ¡®Oh right, the Ultimate Book of Medicine! ¡®The book I had just received, it was to save others with this knowledge! ¡®Does it really work?¡¯ However, Alex knew that he had to give it a try. ¡°Get out! All of you! ¡°I can still save my mom, I have to! Get out!¡± Everyone was very taken aback by his sudden change in attitude. ¡°Hey!¡± ¡°Just leave him be, let him send his mother off!¡± Cheryl spoke up with a stern expression. This situation reminded her of her own mother¡ªshe had left this world as well. Cheryl was still very young then, yet she had to experience the pain of losing her mother first-hand. She would never forget how it shattered her heart. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. With Cheryl standing up for him, everyone left the ward. Alex was d that it was a single ward as well. He closed his eyes as he stood next to the bed. His mind was filled with information from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell was one of the treatments included in the book, and quite a legendary acupuncture method. ¡°Mom can be saved! ¡°I¡¯ll be able to wake her up immediately too!¡± Alex mumbled to himself as he came to a conclusion. It was amazing, simply unbelievable. Alex was sure that he was right. However, without silver needles, how could he perform it? Simple! All the acupuncture methods in the book didn¡¯t require silver needles. Silver needles were at the lowest rank out of all the needles he could use. Most of the methods required Chi or electricity, or he could transform his Chi into a flow of electricity. With the Chi from his ancestor, he would be able to achieve this. With a small thud, Alex poked his index finger onto Brittany¡¯s temple. He could feel his Chi flowing out of his finger, slowly forming into small flows of electricity. ¡®It is true, this is all true. Mom can be saved,¡¯ Alex thought. He was extremely excited as he carefully moved to the next acupuncture point. The middle of the top of her skull. Then, under her belly button. Cheryl was still standing in front of the ward, worried about Alex. She looked into the window of the ward, checking up on him without thinking. However, she was shocked by what she saw. She rushed into the ward, ¡°Alex, what are you doing? Stop!¡± Alex yelled, ¡°Don¡¯te near me, I¡¯m saving my mom!¡± He was now speeding up his pace as he poked into a few other vital acupuncture points on Brittany. Cheryl was speechless. ¡®If he really could save his mother, he would be a god,¡¯ she thought. Cheryl took a deep sigh. ¡®Fine, I¡¯ll let him do his thing!¡¯ Cheryl decided to stand aside and watch him. Alex was now pressing hard in the middle of Brittany¡¯s chest. With that, the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell waspleted. He just had to wait till she woke up. ¡°Mom, you have to wake up, you have to!¡± Alex closed his eyes and prayed. Just as he said that, a light beep echoed through the ward. Cheryl was startled and looked towards the monitor that was monitoring Brittany¡¯s heart rate. The ECG was just a straight line just a while ago, and yet her heart was now beating again. ¡°How¡­ how could this be?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 34 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 34 Cheryl stared in disbelief. She approached Brittany¡¯s bedside and noticed her eyelids fluttering, slowly opening up. Cheryl thought that she was hallucinating. After snapping back to reality, she eximed excitedly, ¡°Alex, Alex! Your mother woke up! She woke up!¡± Alex opened his eyes immediately, overjoyed. ¡°Mom! Mom! You woke up!¡± Alex eximed, holding Brittany¡¯s hand. His eyes turned red as he started to tear up. It was real, the book was real. Even his ancestor was real. This was all thanks to his ancestor. Cheryl was extremely excited and she started tearing up as well. She couldn¡¯t believe that Brittany actually woke up. They had announced her death not long ago, yet she just woke up suddenly. This was really a miracle in the medical field! ¡°Could it be that he really was trying to save her?¡± Cheryl murmured under her breath, staring at Alex with puzzled eyes. Brittany actually woke up and turned to Alex. ¡°Alex, where am I?¡± Cheryl ran out of the ward to call her colleagues to form a medical team to give Brittany a full body check up. Everything was fine with her now. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. News quickly spread throughout the hospital, causing an uproar. One of their doctors had just announced Brittany¡¯s time of death. However, in just a few minutes, someone saved her and she woke up from hera. Cheryl finally got the chance to ask Alex, ¡°You were poking your mom in random spots a while ago, with nothing in hand to refer to. What was that? Were you really saving her?¡± Alex smiled. ¡°What do you mean poking randomly? That was the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell.¡± ¡°What Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ well, I learned that online, it seemed to work on patients in vegetative states. I was panicking then, so I decided to try it out. But I didn¡¯t think it would work!¡± Alexughed nervously as he lied. He knew he shouldn¡¯t reveal anything about the Ultimate Book of Medicine. Frankly, he was very much confused as well. Cheryl was speechless. How could he believe everything online? Half an hourter, Alex and his mother were alone in the ward. Brittany stared at Alex and asked, ¡°Son, where¡¯s your father?¡± Alex¡¯s expression turned grim. ¡°Dad, he¡­ passed away.¡± Upon hearing that, Brittany hugged her son tightly and cried hysterically. After calming down, Brittany whispered to Alex, ¡°Son, you have to be careful of your third uncle.¡± Alex was taken aback. Brittany continued, ¡°I suspect that it was your third uncle who caused the incident that happened to your father and I. I did some digging on the night before your wedding and found out that your third uncle betrayed ourpany¡ªhe reaped benefits by selling information.¡± Alex could feel his blood boiling upon hearing this. Alex¡¯s father, William Rockefeller, was the head of the family. He had two younger brothers, Noah Rockefeller and John Rockefeller. He had a younger sister as well, Paige Rockefeller. William had decided to take a chance and start a business with someone at the age of thirteen. Twenty yearster, he had single-handedly started Rockefeller Group. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 35 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 35 Ten yearster, Rockefeller Group had a capital of 300 billion, bing a famous business in California. It was a fact that the Rockefellers¡¯s achievements were because of William and Brittany¡¯s hard work. However¡­ The Rockefellers ended up kicking the both of them out of the family and John took over their business. Spark even wanted to have Alex¡¯s wife. If this were really John¡¯s scheme, it would be terrifying. Alex clenched his fists tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. If Dad really died in vain because of Uncle¡¯s scheme, I¡¯ll make sure he pays for it with the worst punishments possible.¡± Alex decided to stay for the night in the hospital to apany his mom instead of going back to the Assex¡¯s residence. He knew that if he had gone home, he would end up in a terrible fate. Brittany had just woken up from hera so her body was still fairly weak. She fell asleep in just a few moments. Alex, on the other hand, couldn¡¯t calm down at all. The ring that his father had left him was truly incredible. ¡®Did Dad know about this?¡¯ Alex thought to himself as he sat next to the bed. He could still feel a strong flow of energy coursing through his entire body. ¡®Was this the Chi that my ancestor had given me? ¡®Oh right, training!¡¯ Alex immediately revised the moves in his head. They were from an unknown type of martial arts¡ªthe Force¡ªmainly used as medicinal martial arts. He had wanted to try it out, though he wasn¡¯t really hoping to get anything out of it. This was all still too surreal for him to process. However, as he started training, it was as if he was a natural at these moves. The training of the Force felt quite simple to him. He was able to gain control over the energy coursing through his veins, flowing to every part of his body. His training was extremely sessful¡ªhe was able to gain full control over his core and his Chi was stronger than before. He had mastered this unknown martial art. At the same time, Cheryl had reached home as well. She took off her shoes and jacket before flopping her beautiful figure onto the sofa. She eximed, ¡°I¡¯m spent!¡± Her grandmother handed her a bowl of soup. ¡°Here, Cherry. Grandma made some gosh in the evening. Have some, it¡¯ll enhance your beauty.¡± Cheryl rolled over and realized that there were two huge meatballsying in a bowl. She picked it up and drank the whole bowl of soup in one go. Her grandmother smiled as she watched her drink the soup. Just then, her grandfather, James Coney, walked into the living room. He furrowed his eyebrows, ¡°You should sit properly, youngdy! No wonder you still can¡¯t get yourself a boyfriend!¡± Grandma snapped back. ¡°Oh, shut it you old fart. What are you about? My dear little granddaughter is tired. So what if she¡¯s putting a leg up? It¡¯s not like she¡¯s putting it on top of your head! Cherry, just ignore him and sit however you like.¡± James decided not to argue any further. He then poured himself a cup of tea and asked, ¡°Was it busy at the hospital?¡± Cheryl replied, ¡°Not really, but there was a vegetative patient who just woke up all of a sudden today¡­¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g She smiled as she imitated Alex¡¯s poking and exined what he did. She recounted to her grandfather about the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell and how Brittany was revived. But James froze and asked immediately, ¡°The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell? Can you tell Grandpa more about that? How did he do it? What acupuncture points did he poke at?¡± Cheryl blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion, ¡°Grandpa, do you really believe in that kind of stuff? I haven¡¯t heard of anything called the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell.¡± However, she still listed out the acupuncture points he had poked. James¡¯s expression turned serious as he listened to her. In the end, he pped his thigh and eximed, ¡°The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell, it really is the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell! It¡¯s the legendary reviving method! Cherry, quick, contact the guy. Grandpa would like to meet this young man.¡± ¡°Huh¡­?¡± Cheryl¡¯s mouth was wide open as she stared at her grandfather in disbelief. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 36 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 36 The next morning, Alex found himself waking up at his mother¡¯s bedside. He realized that he had trained the whole night away. So, he felt sticky and ufortable. He looked down at himself and what met his eyes shocked him. His body was covered in sticky ck oil. It smelt disgusting and strong. He knew that he had used his ancestor¡¯s Chi to train for the Force. This helped him cleanse his entire body. Although he was ufortable from the sticky goop, he felt extremely energized despite training for the whole night. His body and mind were both refreshed and his core coursed with Chi. He turned to Brittany, she was still fast asleep. But her condition seemed better now. This made him believe that it was not a dream. He immediately rushed to the bathroom in the ward and took a shower. However, his clothes were dirty as well, and they smelt disgusting. ¡°Well, I guess I have to go back to the Assex¡¯s residence!¡± After Brittany woke up, Alex talked to her for a brief while and headed towards the Assexes¡¯s ce. However, he saw that his luggage had been thrown out of the Assexes¡¯s mansion yet again. ire was even cutting up his clothes into pieces. Alex could feel his anger exploding like a volcano in his head. He rushed over and snatched the scissors right out of her hands, ¡°What¡¯s your problem? Why are you cutting up my clothes?¡± ire was merciless. ¡°This is my house, so what if I¡¯m cutting them up? You¡¯re not part of our family from now on. We don¡¯t take pests in any way! Also, sign these divorce papers.¡± ire then took a small stack of divorce papers out from the mansion. Alex asked helplessly, ¡°Where did you get these?¡± ire replied, ¡°Dorothy wrote them. She prepared them from quite a while back.¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Alex didn¡¯t want to believe a word she said. He huffed, ¡°Oh don¡¯t you worry, I¡¯ll definitely move out. However, I won¡¯t be signing these, I want Dorothy to confront me herself!¡± After that, he picked up a few personal documents and left his other stuffying on the ground. He didn¡¯t need them anymore. ¡°Where are the keys? Give them back. You could live under a bridge for all I care!¡± Alex threw the keys at her and smiled. ¡°It doesn¡¯t concern you as to where I¡¯m living. Be it under a bridge or in a 5-star hotel!¡± ire scoffed, ¡°Hmph, a 5-star hotel? I bet you can¡¯t even afford living in a dog shelter! Get out of my house! I¡¯ll find a better husband for Dorothy, someone who is much, much better than you, you useless piece of sh*t! Even Spark is way better than you!¡± Alex was extremely triggered by the name ¡®Spark¡¯. He kicked the well at the side out of anger. With a loud crash, the well was smashed into pieces. ire¡¯s eyes widened in shock. She couldn¡¯t say a word and stared at Alex with a terrified expression. She waited until he had walked away from the mansion before she dared to continue yelling at him then. After leaving the Assex mansion, Alex received a phone call from Cheryl. He picked the call up immediately, ¡°Hello? Dr. Coney, did something happen to Mom?¡± Cheryl smiled. ¡°Nope, your mother is fine. She¡¯s doing pretty well actually. I¡¯m calling you because my grandfather wants to see you.¡± ¡°Huh? You grandfather? The legendary doctor of California, James Coney?¡± Medical experts were usually well known in the area. A legend was just a mere title. James Coney, however, was truly a legendary doctor in California. Everyone knew just how knowledgeable he was. Alex was confused and asked, ¡°Dr. Coney, what business does your grandfather have with me?¡± Cheryl didn¡¯t tell him straightforwardly, she only said, ¡°You¡¯ll know when you see him. Go visit your mother first, I¡¯ll pick you up at the hospital.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 37 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 37 ¡°Mom!¡± Alex came to the hospital and visited his mom again. She was awake at the time. His anger towards the Assexes dissolved as soon as he saw her. Examining Brittany with his knowledge of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he noticed that she was doing a lot better than the day before. Relieved, Alex smiled widely and said, ¡°I bought this porridge from a stall nearby. The doctor said that you could only eat soft foods as of now. I¡¯ll feed you, alright?¡± Brittany stared at him lovingly, ¡°Alex, I heard that you came to take care of me every day, you¡¯re even more professional than the nurses now. I¡¯m sorry that I¡¯ve been such a burden on you.¡± Alex could feel his chest tightening. His mother was the absolute sweetest. His mother-inw, ire, however, only treated him as a ve. He fed the porridge slowly to Brittany, then gave all four of her limbs a massage. Brittany had been in aa for more than six months, so her muscles had been slowly wasting away. However, Alex¡¯s massaging method was special: it had the help of the flow of Chi from the force as well. He knew that his mother would be able to heal and walk normally in just three days¡¯ time. ¡°Hello, Dr. Coney!¡± Brittany suddenly eximed. Alex turned around and realized that Cheryl had reallye to the ward. She looked puzzled and asked, ¡°Your massage technique has quite a unique style. Did you get that online as well?¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ Yeah.¡± ¡°Continue on then.¡± From Cheryl¡¯s point of view, Alex was just wasting his time and energy. He wasn¡¯t putting the right amount of strength into massaging, nor was he massaging the right pressure points. She thought that he was just clueless. However, what she didn¡¯t know was that Alex had used his Chi to unclog Brittany¡¯s veins and arteries. Due to the use of Chi, he shouldn¡¯t massage her limbs too roughly, or he would damage her veins. Cheryl shook her head and thought to herself, ¡®Grandpa wanted to see him to ask about that Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell thing. I guess he¡¯ll just end up disappointed; he doesn¡¯t know anything about the medical field at all.¡± After massaging, Brittany thanked her son. ¡°Alex, I feel so much better after that massage, I think I¡¯ll be able to walk soon.¡± Alex nodded and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll even be able to run in three days¡¯ time.¡± Cheryl had almostughed out loud, yet she decided to hold back and not expose him. At the hospital entrance, Cheryl took out her keys and pressed a button. The headlights of a red BMW X5 lit up. ¡°Get in.¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± Alex got into the car and asked curiously. He hadn¡¯t figured out why James wanted to see him. ¡°Ganoderma.¡± Alex knew that Ganoderma was the clinic that James had opened in California. Apart from James, a group of old doctors was working there as well. A lot of the sick would go to this clinic instead of hospitals. They even attracted customers from other cities due to their poprity. The two arrived at Ganoderma in just a few moments. Alex followed Cheryl from the back and couldn¡¯t help but stare. Cheryl was fairly tall, around 170 cm. She had curves in all the right ces, especially her behind. Her body was very alluring as his eyes fixated on her. Suddenly, Cheryl stopped in her tracks and turned around. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ Alex wasn¡¯t paying attention to anything she had said. He had been staring at her back the whole time. Without putting much thought into it, he blurted out, ¡°Very fertile.¡± Cheryl froze and she realized that the guy was still staring at her back. She knew that she was quite ¡®gifted¡¯ in some areas of her body. Her grandmother mentioned just as much too. However, receiving such ament from a guy was something that she couldn¡¯t tolerate at all. ¡°You¡­ shameless!¡± She then took a few steps forward and turned around once more, ¡°You walk in the front.¡± Alex wanted to smack himself there and then. He knew that it was wrong for him to say that she was ¡®very fertile¡¯.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material. ¡®Why couldn¡¯t you have said something else? What does it have to do with you that she¡¯s fertile or not?¡¯ He thought to himself. With Cheryl¡¯s guidance, they soon reached a clinic. Suddenly, Alex noticed that ire was waiting outside as well. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 38 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 38 ire was queuing up outside of the clinic with the other patients. She was at the very end of the line, currently talking to the woman next to her¡­ ¡°The legendary Dr. Coney is really something. I had to ask quite a few friends to help me get an appointment with him which I had to wait for another three months to happen.¡± ¡°Yeah, I had to wait for more than three months too. Well I can¡¯tin, no doctor is better than him!¡± As she conversed, ire felt someone approaching her and turned around. She frowned when she realized it was Alex. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Alex greeted her out of habit, ¡°Mum.¡± ire exploded with anger, ¡°What do you mean Mum? Who¡¯s your Mum? Let me tell you something, you useless piece of sh*t. My daughter will soon divorce you and we¡¯re cutting clean! Stop trying to crawl back to us! Heck, were you stalking me? You probably couldn¡¯t find a ce to stay, right? Are you going to beg me to take you back?¡± Alex shook his head and said, ¡°Ma¡¯am, don¡¯t you worry, I have a ce to stay. You¡¯re in my way, so will you please excuse me, ma¡¯am?¡± ¡°What did you call me?¡± ire was triggered. Mum and Ma¡¯am sounded slightly simr, but the meaning was one heck of a difference. ire was 46 years old at the time. But she had done her best to preserve her beauty and kept up with all the fashion trends just to look like she was in her early 30s. Thus, being called ¡®Ma¡¯am¡¯ triggered her tremendously. Frustration welled up in her chest. Suddenly, she noticed Chery walking behind Alex. Slightly startled, her expression changed as she said out loud, ¡°Oh I see how it is! I was wondering why this trash could agree to get out of my house without hesitation! So you¡¯re living with this b*tch now, huh? And you were saying that you had nothing to do with her. As if! ¡°Look at this woman. She¡¯s such a in Jane, unlike our darling Dorothy. Look at her clothes, they look so cheap! Alex, I really have to say, your taste in women is as low as your life. What you have is just another b*tch!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°Have some respect, please.¡± Cheryl¡¯s expression was stern. ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re the one who ruined my daughter¡¯s family. You¡¯re just a homewrecker, why should I respect you?¡± As she spoke, a hard p hit ire¡¯s fair face. It turned out that the one who pped her was the woman she was cheerily talking to just a while ago. ire was stunned. She held her face with her palm and asked, ¡°Why did you p me?¡± The woman was furious, ¡°Why? You just called the legendary doctor¡¯s granddaughter a b*tch! Dr. Coney shouldn¡¯t even give you a check up, you hot-tempered wench! Who are you to yell at them anyway? Just look at you, your daughter probably isn¡¯t any better as well. This young man is right to get a divorce!¡± The woman had seen Cheryl before, hence she knew her identity. She knew that she had to stand up for Cheryl. ¡°What? She¡­ she¡¯s the legendary doctor¡¯s granddaughter?¡± ire¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Cheryl brought Alex into the clinic, James had just finished checking up on a patient. Cheryl smiled, ¡°Grandpa, this is Alex.¡± James looked up and stood with a smile. ¡°I apologize, everyone. I have a guest to attend to so please excuse us! Harold, please get everyone¡¯s details while I¡¯m gone. I¡¯ll be back in a bit.¡± A sharp patient immediately said, ¡°Dr. Coney, is this guy your grandson-inw? No worries, doctor. Please go ahead! Your grandson-inw is paying you a visit after all, that must be important to you. We don¡¯t mind waiting!¡± Someone chimed in, ¡°Yeah, yeah! We don¡¯t minding back another day too.¡± ire stood by the door and looked extremely upset upon hearing those words. The legendary doctor, James Coney, was well known in California. His status was much higher than the Assexes¡¯s; everyone knew who he was. Even the politicians in California treated him with the utmost respect. He was a VIP in the whole country. If Alex were to be his grandson-inw, that would elevate his status greatly as well. How could she ever ept that? Alex, James, and Coney then walked past her and entered another room in the back. Alex didn¡¯t even nce in her direction, as if she was merely thin air. Alex had no idea as to why James was looking for him. He even noticed that James was a little too modest towards him. Was he really trying to get him to be his grandson-inw? Just then, Cheryl decided to speak up and exin that her grandfather wanted to know if the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell was real. She continued, ¡°Grandpa, Alex has absolutely no knowledge or experience in the medical field. He said so himself, that was just something he found online. You don¡¯t have to stress about this acupuncture thing this much. This was most likely something fictional; something from a novel or TV show!¡± She then turned to Alex. ¡°Alex, just look up the site and show it to Grandpa so we can get this over with.¡± In her point of view, Brittany¡¯s miracle wasn¡¯t because of Alex, it was because Brittany had a strong will to live and was able to wake herself up. James replied, ¡°Cherry, the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell isn¡¯t fictional, it¡¯s absolutely real. Our ancestors used to use this acupuncture method, but some of it got lost as it was handed down over generations. As of now, I only have nine of the acupuncture points. The other four are missing. This mystical acupuncture method would only work best with all points. The effect wouldn¡¯t be as great if it¡¯s iplete, let alone four! That¡¯s why I¡¯ve never taught you this.¡± James then turned to Alex. ¡°Young man, I¡¯m just very curious. That¡¯s why I asked to see you today.¡± Alex took a nce at Cheryl and nodded at James. ¡°Yes, I did use the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. It¡¯s the real deal. I¡¯m sorry that I lied to you yesterday, Dr. Coney.¡± Cheryl spoke up, ¡°There¡¯s no way. I mean, where did you even learn that acupuncture method? You didn¡¯t even attend medical school! Or did you manually learn traditional medicine? All you did was read a few books. What, did it just pop out of nowhere?¡± Alex thought to himself, ¡®Well you¡¯re right about that, it did pop out of nowhere.¡¯ Just then, hurried heavy footsteps could be heard from the outside. Someone shouted, ¡°Dr. Coney, Dr. Coney! Help! Please help my daughter!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 39 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 39 ¡°Huh, what happened?¡± ¡°A little girl! Her face is pale and bluish! She¡¯s not breathing!¡± ¡°This is terrifying¡­ would Dr. Coney be able to save her?¡± The crowd started discussing among themselves, hoping for the best. Just then, a middle-aged man carried a five-year-old-girl into the room. He was crying hysterically, with panic written all over his face. With a loud thud, he knelt down. Cheryl immediately got into action. She briefly checked the little girl¡¯s vitals. As she checked, her expression darkened. The little girl wasn¡¯t breathing and had no pulse. Cheryl immediately started doing CPR, asking the middle-aged man as to what had happened. The man cried, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I¡­ I was just paying at the counter. Then, my little girl just fainted behind me. She just fell unconscious.¡± James approached the little girl as well, he said, ¡°Examine her throat.¡± Cheryl did as she was told, yet she didn¡¯t find anything blocking the airway. James smacked the little girl¡¯s back a few times as well. However, nothing came out. In the end, all James could do was sigh and shook his head in grief. The man was still on his knees and cried even more hysterically. With a puzzled look, Alex watched by the side. He could see a faint figure that looked exactly like the little girl, standing next to him. She was staring at the man, calling him papa repeatedly. ¡°Is this her soul? ¡°Well damn, I can see spirits too now,¡± Alex muttered under his breath. As the saying goes, it is impossible to revive the deceased. However, in the Ultimate Book of Medicine, there¡¯s still hope for someone who had just passed. He tapped on Cheryl¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Can I have a go?¡± She didn¡¯t even look at him, ¡°Stop messing around.¡± Alex then dragged her harshly to the side, ¡°You¡¯re not helping.¡± Cheryl stumbled aside, annoyed by his actions. Alex then grabbed the little girl¡¯s soul and forced it back into her body¡­ Ghost doctor skills were included in the Ultimate Book of Medicine, including methods to cure the spirit. Thus, it wasn¡¯t too surprising that Alex was able to see spirits. The method he was using had a title as well. It was called Soul Shifting. ¡°Mr. Coney,e over here.¡± Alex said. ¡°Huh?¡± James immediately approached, he thought that Alex needed help. However, Alex continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t you learn the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell? I¡¯ll be using that to save her now. Just watch and learn.¡± He then started using his Chi and pressed down on the first acupuncture point. With the training of the Force, his Chi now had the element of electricity. Cheryl ced a hand to her chest, trying to calm down from anger. ¡®Is he really talking to Grandpa in such a tone? That¡¯s just being too arrogant now, isn¡¯t it? Does he really think he¡¯s some sort of legendary doctor?¡¯ She was more annoyed by the fact that she had witnessed him poke his mother in random spots, as if he were just a child messing around. This was all too ridiculous to her. ¡°Do we not need silver needles?¡± James was surprised. This was unbelievable to him as well. He was starting to doubt the young man, thinking that Alex might have a screw loose. He got too excited back then upon hearing the acupuncture method. ¡°Nope, silver needles are of the lowest rank, I¡¯m using my Chi.¡± Alex said as he continued poking. ¡°Alex, stop it, you¡¯re not a doctor. It was pure luck that your mother woke up. You¡¯re just wasting time here. She might be saved if you let me handle this.¡± Cheryl said loudly. The kneeling man was shocked. ¡°He¡­ He¡¯s not a doctor?¡± Cheryl replied, ¡°No.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. The man was now triggered, he yelled, ¡°You f*cker! Stop touching my daughter if you¡¯re not a doctor! Are you insane? F*ck off!¡± He thennded a kick on Alex¡¯s waist. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, or your daughter will really die. I still have one acupuncture point left.¡± Alex stayed in position and poked in the middle of the little girl¡¯s chest. ¡°Argh¡­ I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The man screamed and swung his arm, about to p Alex. However, his attack was blocked. Alex stared at him and said calmly, ¡°Look at your daughter, she has woken up.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 40 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 40 ¡°Huh?¡± Everyone stared at the little girl. Her eyshes fluttered gently as she slowly opened her eyes. She actually woke up. Cheryl¡¯s eyes widened, she couldn¡¯t believe what she was seeing. However, after waking up, the little girl felt extremely ufortable. She ced both of her hands on her neck area as if she was suffocating. ¡°There¡¯s something in her throat. It¡¯s still stuck!¡± James said panickedly. ¡°Let me handle this!¡± Alex said and pressed his hand against the little girl¡¯s chest. He lightly poked on her chest again, as if he were ying a lute. Cheryl recognized this method. Alex had massaged his mother¡¯s limbs the same. With a loud thud, Alex pressed down hard on the little girl¡¯s chest. An object flew out of her mouth as she spat it out. It was a kumquat. The man suddenly remembered something and eximed. ¡°It¡¯s the mountain hawthorn. I bought some for Zoey a while ago. I thought she had finished it earlier. I didn¡¯t think it¡­¡± Alex said, ¡°It was stuck too deep in her throat so it couldn¡¯t be pped out. No matter, everything¡¯s fine now.¡± As expected, the little girl was able to breathe normally again. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as well. She turned to the man. ¡°Papa!¡± The man hugged his daughter tightly. He thought that he had lost her. He sobbed uncontrobly as mixed emotions welled up in his heart. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Alex turned to James. ¡°Did you catch that, old man?¡± James seemed exceptionally excited. His eyes lit up. ¡°It¡­ It really is the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell! God, I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d be able to witness it firsthand in this lifetime! I can die in peace now! But¡­ I¡¯m old, my eyes aren¡¯t all that well. You were doing it a little too fast, so I¡­¡± Alex smiled, noticing that there were a pen and a few pieces of paper lying on the office desk. He walked over and immediately wrote on a random piece of paper. In just two minutes, he was done writing. Alex handed James the piece of paper and said, ¡°Here you go.¡± James retrieved it and examined it. His lower lip trembled in shock. ¡°This¡­ This is the full version of the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell? You¡­You¡¯re just going to give it to me?¡± Every doctor would only hope to get their hands on such a mystical acupuncture method¡ªit was priceless! How could this man just give it out like that? Was he a spendthrift? Alex didn¡¯t mind at all. The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell was just an insignificant method within the larger Ultimate Book of Medicine. All of this information came to him for free as well, hence he didn¡¯t think to keep all of this to himself. He said, ¡°Old man, you¡¯re the legendary doctor of California. You¡¯ve saved countless lives. If I gave this acupuncture method to you, more people could be saved. So, why shouldn¡¯t I give it to you? You can teach it to Dr. Cheryl Coney too.¡± James was old. But, he dropped to his knees and thanked Alex. ¡°I, James Coney, am forever grateful to you for entrusting me with this knowledge. I have nothing much to offer, but I thank you on the behalf of everyone else who is in need as well. Thank you, young man, for your generosity.¡± ¡°Oh please, don¡¯t kneel for me, old man. Get up, please, you really don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± Alex said as he helped James up. The little girl¡¯s father was incredibly thankful towards Alex as well. He felt especially regretful that he had just kicked Alex in the waist. He felt so embarrassed. ¡°Young doctor, I¡¯m so sorry for my behavior just a while ago. You saved my daughter; you revived her; you basically saved my whole family! I should be damned for life, to think that I wanted to beat you up! Oh, I haven¡¯t even introduced myself. I¡¯m Charles Carter, from Waylon Realty¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Alex interrupted. ¡°Please, don¡¯t me yourself. I understand how you felt. Your daughter just woke up, so you have to take better care of her now! Sir, Dr. Coney, if you will please excuse me, I have to go visit my mom in the hospital now.¡± He turned around and left the clinic so quickly James couldn¡¯t even catch up to him. Charles froze. ¡°Oh no, I forgot to ask for the young doctor¡¯s name. I have to repay him for saving my daughter somehow! Dr. Coney, you know him, right?¡± James looked towards Cheryl. Cheryl replied, ¡°He¡¯s the son of the founder of Rockefeller Group. His name is Alex Rockefeller.¡± Charles was stunned. ¡°Huh? That was him?¡± James immediately chimed in as well. ¡°Cherry, you should catch up to him! We can¡¯t just receive from him like this, we have to repay him too!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 41 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 41 Alex had just left Ganoderma, walking at a slow pace. He thought, ¡®Mom will be discharged in two days, but we lost our property. Plus, I was kicked out by ire, so we won¡¯t have a ce to stay. Buying a property is my priority now.¡¯ But he also knew that his father had hidden Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s existence from his mother. He had heard this from Lex himself. ¡®Should I tell her?¡¯ He thought. He wouldn¡¯t be able to use any of his funds if he didn¡¯t give her a proper exnation. He decided to keep it a secret for now. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was involved with underworld work, so most people would view them as mafias or thugs. This could be the reason his father had hidden the conglomerate from his mother. It wouldn¡¯t be wise to reveal the truth to her right now. ¡®Then¡­ I¡¯ll just get a small apartment. I¡¯ll tell her the money came from my savings.¡¯ It was decided. Just as Alex was about to call a cab to go back to the hospital, Cheryl yelled out to him from behind, ¡°Alex, Alex! Why are you in such a rush? God!¡± Cheryl was jogging over to him. Alex turned around and he could feel his eyes widen. As she jogged, Cheryl¡¯s chest was bouncing everywhere, as if it was about to bounce out. It was quite the sight. ¡°Ahem. Hey, Dr. Coney. Why did youe after me? Did something else happen? Is the little girl alright?¡± ¡°No, she¡¯s fine. Grandpa just wanted me to treat you to a meal.¡± ¡°Your grandpa? What about you?¡± ¡°Take a guess.¡± Alex smiled. Cheryl was exceptionally beautiful at this moment¡ªdrop-dead gorgeous. Alex couldn¡¯t help but be reminded of the intimate moment they had in the elevator a few days ago. Cheryl felt slightly embarrassed by his stare. Her cheeks flushed as she pointed towards her left. ¡°I know a restaurant over there. It serves some pretty good stuff. Why don¡¯t we eat there?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Cheryl eximed. ¡°Let¡¯s go, then! It¡¯s just behind this alleyway.¡± The two then walked into the alleyway. Just then, a group of five blocked their way. They were armed with bats like they were thugs. N?velDrama.Org content rights. Cheryl grabbed Alex¡¯s hand in panic. She whispered, ¡°Are they here for us?¡± Alex¡¯s heart dropped as well. He did inherit his ancestor¡¯s medical martial arts skills and learned the Force as well. ording to his ancestor, he would be quite the fighter now. However, he had never used any of this in an actual fight so he wasn¡¯t quite sure if it would work. He took Cheryl¡¯s hand and turned around, preparing to make a run for it. However, another four men showed up behind him. They were in the same clothes, holding the same bats. It was tantly obvious that these men were here to get them. ¡°What do we do now? Oh god,¡± Cheryl said as she trembled in fear. Chi was coursing through his entire body, flowing through his muscles and bones. That thunder-like feeling filled him with limitless energy. He stood in front of Cheryl. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯ll protect you.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t even protect yourself. Dream on!¡± The guyughed as he eyed Cheryl up and down. The teen leader had a scar on his face. His face was twisted horrifically. Seeing her beautiful features and curvy body, he couldn¡¯t help but want to make advances on her. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a beauty to be my reward. This woman is mine!¡± ¡°Bro, don¡¯t just keep her to yourself! Sharing is caring!¡± ¡°Hah! After I¡¯m done with her, I¡¯ll hand her to you guys!¡± The color drained from Cheryl¡¯s face as she felt increasingly frustrated and panicky. Alex¡¯s gaze was cold. ¡°What do you want?¡± Scarfaceughed. ¡°We want to screw you up! You¡¯re pretty expensive, you little brat. Someone gave us a total of two million to have both your legs broken. They want you to p yourself a hundred times too. Come on, if you know what¡¯s best for you, get on your knees and p away! Give us a good show, won¡¯t you? If you give us no choice but to do it ourselves, it wouldn¡¯t just cost you your legs.¡± ¡°Mark, get your phone out and start recording!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 42 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 42 Alex¡¯s expression turned colder. ¡°Who sent you?¡± Scarface scoffed. ¡°Do you really want to know? Kneel down and p yourself then. If you give me a good show, I might consider telling you.¡± Alex nodded. ¡°How about this? You kneel down and p yourself a hundred times. Then, I might consider letting you off easy.¡± ¡°What?¡± The thugs were confused as they thought they had heard wrong. Before arriving, they heard that this guy was a good for nothing bloke. He wasn¡¯t even allowed to be intimate with his own wife and he had to ve away for his mother-inw. How could someone as worthless as him dare to say such words to them? Was he out of his mind? ¡°You¡¯ve got some guts, I¡¯d give you that you brat. Looks like you¡¯re going to have to say goodbye to your lower half and your arms!¡± Scarface smirked cockily, raising the bat above his head, about to smash Alex¡¯s legs. There was a loud thud followed by cracking. The wooden bat smashed right into Alex¡¯s shin and into two halves from the impact. ¡°Ah! Stop!¡± Cheryl screamed out of terror. However, something felt odd. The thick bat was broken in half, yet Alex seemed oddly calm. He stood there, expressionless and not moving a muscle. It was as if he couldn¡¯t feel pain at all. Scarface was stunned as well. He had broken numerous legs, yet none of them could endure the impact of the bat, let alone an impact strong enough to break the bat in half. Alex stood there, shifting his weight to his other leg. He was overjoyed. The force his ancestor had given him did him well. He wasn¡¯t talking about the attack power of this skill, but the incredible defense that it provided. It was as if an invisible shield protected him from any attack. As he was being attacked on the shin, arge flow of Chi rushed to it. As if it mirrored the attack, it would protect that certain body part immediately without causing him any pain at all. ¡°You¡¯re unhurt?¡± Scarface was absolutely shocked. ¡°Yeah, but you¡¯re not going to be,¡± Alex said as he swung his leg towards Scarface¡¯s shin, he attacked the same spot where Scarface had attacked him. With a loud crack, Scarface¡¯s shin was fractured. A loud smack followed as Scarface¡¯s face was pped and he fell to the ground. ¡°F*ck, let¡¯s gang up on him!¡± The remaining thugs yelled, lunging towards Alex. Alex was confident in himself. His eyes and mind were sharp, focusing on both protecting Cheryl and taking down the enemy. He snatched one of their bats and started swinging vigorously at them. His strength was immense, it was as if he was on a killing spree. The remaining hitmen yelped in pain, no longer able to fight back. Cheryl initially thought that she was done for earlier. What she did not expect was Alex¡¯s strength. Her eyes were filled with admiration. When some of the thugs tried to harass her with their bats, he put himself between them as he fought to protect her. This left an extremely strong impression on her. ¡°Hey!¡± Alex poked Scarface on his fractured leg with a bat. ¡°Who sent you to break my legs?¡± Scarface refused to spill at first. However, Alex put more pressure onto his fractured shin, invoking an intense pain. He wasn¡¯t able to handle it anymore and pleaded, ¡°Please stop! Stop! I¡¯ll confess, I¡¯ll tell you! It was Spark Rockefeller from Rockefeller Group!¡± Alex felt extremely angry when he heard that name. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®You motherf*cker. I¡¯m not even seeking revenge yet, and here you are trying to get at me? ¡®Well then, so be it. I¡¯ll give you a life lesson too.¡¯ ¡°Call Spark now, tell him that you¡¯ve captured me, and a beauty!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 43 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 43 During the Assexes¡¯ annual celebration, Spark was incredibly shocked that Lord Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate had stood up for Alex. He couldn¡¯t understand why Lord Lex would ever help a useless piece of shit like Alex. If Lex ever wanted to beat up his grandfather, Bill Rockefeller, all Spark would be able to do was watch. He wouldn¡¯t ever dare to show any signs of vengeance. That would mean that he wouldn¡¯t be able to seek revenge on Alex for breaking his arm. Besides, Rockefeller Group was still worried about Thousand Miles Conglomerate seeking vengeance against them as well. However, heter found out that Lex owed William a favor. Now that he paid back the favor, he no longer owed the Rockefellers anything. Moreover, Alex had tried calling Lex once, yet he ended up being yelled at and threatened. Spark had nothing to fear then! So, he immediately hired some people to deal with Alex. Ring ring ring¡­ At that moment, a young model was massaging Spark in a club. When Spark received Scarface¡¯s call, his eyes lit up. ¡°So, has he been dealt with yet?¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Rockefeller! We¡¯ve captured the brat, and a beauty too! She¡¯s really quite the looker. This is the very first time I¡¯ve seen such a beauty!¡± Spark froze. ¡°You guys captured Dorothy?¡± Scarface nodded, ¡°Yeah, yeah! I think her name was Dorothy.¡± Spark was very much infatuated with Dorothy so he yelled into the phone, ¡°Do noty a finger on that woman! She¡¯s mine! Where are you guys? I¡¯ll head over right now¡­ Remember, do noty a finger on her. I¡¯ll hand you another two million as soon as I arrive.¡± After hanging up the call, Spark pushed the young model away. Compared to Dorothy, the young model was mere trash. ¡°Oh Dorothy, I didn¡¯t want to make a move on you so soon. You walked right into this, this must be fate!¡± Knowing that he was going to have sexual intercourse with Dorothy, he rushed to where Scarface was. He even decided to take a pill. ¡°Here Ie, sister-inw!¡¯ However, he was shocked when he arrived at their meeting ce. There wasn¡¯t any sister-inw around! In the rundown house, Scarface and the underlings were all kneeling down in a neat row. All of them were pping themselves hard across their own faces. Alex, on the other hand, was cockily sitting on a shelf, looking down at them. Spark became terrified by what he saw and tried to make a run for it. However, there was no way that he could outrun Alex. In just a few moments, Spark was captured. ¡°A-Alex, what are you doing? You can¡¯t do this!¡± Alex immediately pped him across the face. ¡°What do you mean? Why can¡¯t I do anything to you? Who set the rules, huh?¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Another four ps followed. Spark felt as if his head was spinning. He roared in anger, ¡°p me again and I¡¯ll make you regret it!¡± Smack! ¡°Why can¡¯t I p you?¡± Smack! ¡°See if I¡¯ll regret this!¡± Smack! ¡°Who¡¯s regretting now, huh?¡± Smack, smack, SMACK! Spark started noticing that his face was bing numb from all the ps. It was as if he had been electric shocked. He thought that he was going to die from all this beating. So, he decided to stop being stubborn and begged for mercy. ¡°Please Bro, please stop pping me! I¡¯ll admit it, I was wrong! I¡¯m sorry, please just stop! It hurts!¡± Alex pped again. ¡°Who¡¯s your bro, huh? What were you doing back then? Admit your faults! Your father is trying to take away my inheritance, and you want to take my wife away! Do you really think I, Alex Rockefeller, am some kind of weakling?¡± Alex then grabbed Spark by his neck and lifted him up. Alex stared straight into his eyes. ¡°No one can take anything from me as long as it¡¯s mine. I will take everything back with my own two hands. ¡°Go back and tell your dad, what goes aroundes around. Karma would soon befall him. The truth will soon prevail,¡± Alex continued. After that, Alex punched Spark right in the gut. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 44 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 44 The punch was filled with a strong flow of Chi. It would damage Spark¡¯s reproductive organs over time and in just a month, he would lose his ability to engage in sexual intercoursepletely. Alex left the rundown house and met up with Cheryl, who was waiting in the restaurant. They were going to have lunch together. Before dealing with Spark, Alex had asked Cheryl to order some food and wait for him. As he watched Alex walk away, Spark chided Scarface, ¡°F*ck! Scarface, you scammer! I agreed to pay you so much money, and you¡¯re trying to scam me? Didn¡¯t you say you were the best fighter in Teal Street? How are you the best if you can¡¯t even deal with a mere boy toy?¡± With a fractured shin, Scarface was just as angry. ¡°How dare you f*cking scold me? You said he was a weakling! But he was strong and his movements were swift too. He could tear you into pieces with one arm! You know what? I, Scarface, wouldn¡¯t just leave it this way. My big sister will be back in two days. We¡¯ll deal with that brat then!¡± At the same time, Beatrice had arrived at the Assex mansion. She didn¡¯t have any sses in the evening, so she came home earlier than usual. However, she noticed that her mother was mumbling to herself. ire was mentioning names like ¡®useless piece of shit¡¯, ¡®trash¡¯, and ¡®ingrate¡¯. Beatrice took off her shoes and asked, ¡°Mom, who are you muttering about? Didn¡¯t you kick out that Rockefeller idiot? Did hee to beg you to take him back?¡± Beatrice looked around the house, ready to kick Alex out again. ¡°No!¡± ire huffed. ¡°That idiot is doing pretty well now, he hooked up with the granddaughter of the legendary doctor of California. I even got pped at Ganoderma because of him! I¡¯m just so annoyed!¡± ¡°What? That useless piece of sh*t pped you? I¡¯ll rip him apart!¡± ¡°No, he wasn¡¯t the one who pped me. It was one of the female patients there. I scolded the granddaughter and got pped¡­ I wasn¡¯t angry because of the p. I was mad that that ingrate hooked up with another woman. That was why he agreed to move out and live with her.¡± Beatrice gave her mother a thumbs up as soon as she heard that ire had scolded the granddaughter of the legendary doctor of California. ¡°You¡¯re amazing, Mom! You scolded that b*tch just as you should! Besides, isn¡¯t this a good thing? If Sis knew about this, she would finally give up on him, and we¡¯ll be able to get him out of our lives once and for all! Come on, don¡¯t be mad. Let¡¯s just have dinner, I¡¯m so hungry.¡± ire had already prepared dinner, everything was served on the table. ¡°Ah! Bleh!¡± Beatrice spat out a mouthful of aubergine. ¡°Mom, what is this? Are you trying to poison me?¡± She then tried to wash it down with some soup. However she spat that out as well, spitting it all over ire¡¯s face, ¡°Mom, is this medicine or soup? Why is it so bitter? Do you even know how to cook? This is disgustingpared to what that ingrate can do!¡± ¡°Oh whatever, let¡¯s just order takeout!¡± Suddenly, Beatrice¡¯s voice echoed through the house again, ¡°Ugh, Mom! How could you? My white clothes are all stained ck! Did you even separate the dark and light colors?¡± ¡°What? Where?¡± ¡°Oh god, I think kicking out that ingrate was a mistake. Mom, please hire a maid, our house will end up in ruins if we don¡¯t!¡± Suddenly, the doorbell chimed. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± The two opened the door. A man and a woman, along with a little girl, were standing at their door. They were the Carter family. Their daughter was the one who had almost choked to death from a piece of mountain hawthorn at Ganoderma. Charles had exined everything to his wife, Hailey Lawson. Hailey broke into cold sweat out of fear. Alex had revived his daughter and gave Dr. Coney the acupuncture method for free, which was why the legendary doctor of California knelt down to him. So, Hailey felt like she should thank Alex personally and reward him greatly. Charles smiled and asked, ¡°May I ask, is the young doctor Rockefeller around?¡± Beatrice pouted, ¡°What young doctor Rockefeller? You¡¯re at the wrong ce.¡± ¡°Huh? Wait, is this not Dorothy Assex¡¯s house? We¡¯re looking for Alex Rockefeller, the young doctor.¡± ¡°Alex is just a useless piece of sh*t. When did he be some kind of young doctor? You¡¯re joking right? And no, he¡¯s not here, that Rockefeller ingrate has been kicked out of this house! Our daughter divorced him! If you¡¯d like to find him, go look under a bridge or something!¡± ¡°What?¡± Charles was shocked. ¡°Who are you? How dare you call the legendary young doctor useless?¡± Beatrice replied, ¡°What else is he? You guys must have been fooled. You should cut ties with him.¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Just then, ire recognized Charles and the little girl. She was surprised. ¡°Weren¡¯t you just at Ganoderma? Dr. Coney saved your daughter, right? Why are you looking for that useless ingrate?¡± Charles¡¯s expression darkened as the two continued insulting him. This whole family was insulting Alex over and over again. How did he even survive living in this household? He said coldly, ¡°My daughter wasn¡¯t saved by Dr. Coney, she was saved by Alex! We came here just to thank him personally, and we¡¯d like to give him a mansion and some pocket change. I didn¡¯t expect that the young doctor had been kicked out by you. So, please excuse us!¡± After that, the family of three turned around and left in their luxurious car, driving off in a hurry. ire and Beatrice turned to each other, both filled with disbelief. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 45 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 45 ¡°Papa, why did they call Uncle Alex useless? He isn¡¯t!¡± The little girl, Zoey Carter, pouted angrily. She was almost six years old so she was growing to be more thoughtful. She was able to escape death that afternoon all thanks to Alex. When she was still in her spirit state, all she felt was loneliness and coldness. Alex was like a campfire in the winter, keeping her warm, which was why it left a strong impression on her. Charles replied, ¡°They don¡¯t know what they¡¯re saying.¡± Hailey added, ¡°Let¡¯s help him out in some way, rather than babble on about those two. Let¡¯s see, how do we find him¡­ I heard after William¡¯s ident, his wife became vegetative, she¡¯s been in the hospital ever since.¡± Charles said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the main city to find Cheryl.¡± Just then, Alex and Cheryl went back to the hospital. Alex was going to help his mother discharge from the hospital. However, Cheryl felt like Brittany should stay for another few days just in case. Alex smiled, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. I¡¯m more familiar with my mom¡¯s condition than you.¡± Annoyed, Cheryl bit her lower lip and red at him, ¡°I¡¯m her primary physician, how could I not be familiar with her condition?¡± Alex was slightly flustered by the look that she was giving him. He waved dismissively, ¡°But it¡¯s the truth. You¡¯re not necessarily more familiar with her condition just because you¡¯re her primary physician. I mean, how about this? I know you frequently have period cramps, but you don¡¯t know how to deal with it, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Cheryl was extremely embarrassed as her face flushed into a bright shade of pink. She did indeed have period cramps, even now. ¡°How did you know about that?¡± ¡°I smelled it.¡± Alex touched his nose and stared at the area in between her thighs. ¡°You¡­ pervert!¡± Cheryl was so embarrassed that she picked up a file and flung it towards Alex. However, Alex dodged her attack easily, ¡°I can help you with it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need your help!¡± Suddenly, Charles and his family came to the hospital. Noticing Alex, Charles jogged over and grabbed Alex¡¯s hand, ¡°Dr. Rockefeller, I¡¯m so d that I found you!¡± Alex was slightly taken aback by his friendly gesture. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Realizing what the family was here for, Alex smiled, ¡°Oh don¡¯t sweat it Mr. Carter, it¡¯s not a big deal, you don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± Hailey spoke up, ¡°It may not be a big deal for you, Mr. Rockefeller. But you saved our whole family! If anything happened to my daughter, we would never be able to feel happiness in our lives. So, here¡¯s a little gift, please ept it! You¡¯d be looking down on us if you don¡¯t!¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Alex was in a difficult position and still slightly taken aback by their friendly gestures. Suddenly, Zoey hugged Alex¡¯s thigh and said, ¡°Mister, two meanies were bad-mouthing you! They said you were divorced too. When Zoey grows up, Zoey will marry Mister, okay?¡± The young child¡¯s innocent words lightened the atmosphere and everyoneughed cheerily. Hailey grabbed Alex¡¯s hand and shoved a document bag at him, smiling, ¡°So it¡¯s settled! Just have this little gift! Who knows? We might have to trouble you again someday!¡± Hailey was still fairly youthful, around the age of 27. She was beautiful and charming with a great fashion sense as well. She looked mature and alluring as she reached the peak of her blossoming youth and beauty. However, with just a gentle touch, Alex could tell that something was wrong. ¡°Mrs. Carter, have you been experiencing insomniately? Do you frequently sleepwalk and have nightmares? Do you feel extremely tired out?¡± Hailey froze, then nodded profusely, ¡°Yeah, yeah! I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s wrong with me! I just keep having nightmares, and¡­¡± Just then, Hailey let her words trail off, her face flushed. Charles was surprised. ¡°Oh my dear, why didn¡¯t you tell me? And sleepwalking too! Are you ill?¡± Hailey¡¯s expression turned odd as she replied, ¡°It only started a few days ago, they¡¯re just dreams, no big deal.¡± Cheryl spoke up, ¡°Can I try feeling your pulse?¡± Hailey smiled. ¡°Oh of course! Young Dr. Coney is pretty famous in the medical field too.¡± She then showed her fair wrist to Cheryl. After around half a minute, Cheryl narrowed her eyes, ¡°That¡¯s weird, this pulsing pattern¡­ how did you notice it?¡± She asked Alex but he just smiled and kept silent. Hailey wasn¡¯t ill. There was just an evil entity following her around. He immediately sensed its presence upon touching her hand. Moreover, Hailey¡¯s cheeks were abnormally flushed; her eyes were red; and she had dark circles under her eyes. Besides, Hailey seemed to not want to talk about her dreams earlier. The entity must be quite powerful now, torturing her in her dreams. Hailey was slightly shaken up. ¡°Alex, is this bad?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Not really, I¡¯ll help you get rid of itpletely.¡± He then pointed towards the stool at the side, ¡°Please sit here, Mrs. Carter.¡± Hailey smiled and said, ¡°Oh you don¡¯t have to call me Mrs. Carter, you can call me Lawson. Or if you don¡¯t mind, you can call me by my first name, Hailey.¡± It was obvious that Hailey was trying to grow closer to Alex. Alex didn¡¯t put much thought into it, ¡°Okay then, sit here, Hailey. I¡¯ll massage your head a little.¡± Cheryl thought, ¡®Is he going to use the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell again? Does this method work on everything?¡¯ Her eyes were fixated on them, focusing mainly on Alex¡¯s movements. However, Alex didn¡¯t use the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell on Hailey. Instead, he used the Bahiskara Acupuncture from the ghost doctor series in the Ultimate Book of Medicine. There were seven acupuncture points in it. With just seven points, the entity will vanish from her body. Hailey was dressed stylishly in a white blouse and tight jeans. Her skin was pale and smooth as well. Sitting down on the stool, she looked extremely stunning and elegant. However, Alex was standing right in front of her. Staring down at her from such a high angle, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but wander. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 46 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 46 Hailey was gorgeous and curvy; she looked like a beautiful painting. Alex immediately closed his eyes, forcing himself to not look or think about it. He tried remembering ire¡¯s twisted face as she yelled at him. This helped him calm himself down from the impure thoughts he had just a while ago. Within a minute, all seven acupuncture points had been pressed on The electric Chi needle only required seven seconds to take effect. After seven seconds, Alex asked, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m done Hailey. How do you feel?¡± Hailey rubbed her temples and eximed, ¡°Oh my god, my head doesn¡¯t hurt anymore! My temples used to hurt so badly before. Oh kiddo, you¡¯re absolutely amazing! If I fall ill again someday, I¡¯lle to you!¡± While talking, Hailey swayed her body side to side, causing her chest to jiggle slightly as well. Huh, in just a few minutes, Alex went from being called Dr. Rockefeller to Alex, and now kiddo. Their rtionship seemed to be getting more casual with each change in nickname. ¡°Mister, can you massage my head as well? I get headaches all the time too!¡± Zoey asked innocently as she looked up at Alex with her big doe-like eyes. ¡°You get headaches too?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± She cupped her face with her tiny hands, ¡°Whenever Mom tells me to y piano, I get headaches!¡± They allughed at Zoey¡¯s words. With that, the Carter family left Alex with the document bag. But before leaving the hospital, Hailey exchanged numbers with Alex. Cheryl, on the other hand, couldn¡¯t hold in her curiosity any longer. ¡°What was wrong with Lawson? You were using a different acupuncture method on her, and that wasn¡¯t the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. What was that?¡± Alex replied dismissively, ¡°You wouldn¡¯t understand it even if I told you.¡± ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re so petty!¡± Cheryl pouted. Alex thought that her angry expression looked quite adorable. Still staring at her, Alex smiled. ¡°When you¡¯ve learned the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell,e see me again. I¡¯ll teach you this one next.¡± ¡°Deal. Pinky promise?¡± She said as she reached out her pinky to him. Alex held in a chuckle. ¡°Pinky promise? Alright then, pinky promise.¡± After sealing their promise, Alex opened the document bag and found two cardsying inside. One was a bank card while the other was ck and thicker. There was an engraving on one side as well ¡ª¡®Maple Vi¡¯. Cheryl was shocked. ¡°This is the keycard from Maple Vi! Hailey gave you one of the vis there, what a gift!¡± Alex knew about it as well: Maple Vi was a small area filled with grand vis and considered one of the top ten upscale areas in California. The starting price for these vis was at least 80 thousand dors. So this vi would be easily over 100 million dors, and he didn¡¯t even know how much money was in the bank card either. Alex¡¯s family was extremely wealthy, and this was just merely pocket change to him. However, Alex shook his head and said, ¡°This gift is too much.¡± Cheryl smiled. ¡°Oh don¡¯t say that! Waylon Realty is very sessful and Maple Vi is one of the Carter family¡¯s properties as well. Giving a property as a gift is probably not that big of a deal to them. Besides, Lawson seemed pretty set on befriending you, you legendary doctor. You won¡¯t be able to refuse this offer now.¡± Suddenly, a tall chubby man came into the hospital. ¡°Alex, Alex! I heard that Madame Brittany woke up?¡± ¡°Oh, Nichs. You caught on with the news pretty quickly.¡± Alex smiled. The man was Nichs Hudson, Alex¡¯s high school ssmate. He also used to be one of hisckeys. Before the ident, Alex used to have quite arge group ofckeys. However, all of them stopped following him after the ident. Some even started insulting and making fun of him, as if degrading him would elevate their own status. Nichs was different from the others. He contacted Alex frequently despite Alex¡¯s situation. He was indeed a good man. However, he didn¡¯t have a wealthy or powerful background. He relied onpensations to survive. He would move to multiple different areas, and earned millions ofpensations frompanies who were trying to take over the property he was living in. Nichs would visit Brittany every now and then, so he knew Cheryl as well. His chubby face was stered with a bright smile. ¡°Oh hello, Dr. Coney!¡± He then turned to Alex. ¡°I befriended a nurse here and exchanged numbers with her. She was the one who informed me.¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Seeing that Alex hadpany, Cheryl made small talk with them and excused herself. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 47 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 47 Nichs ran into Brittany¡¯s ward and said, ¡°Madame Brittany, you¡¯re really awake! What a relief¡­¡± ¡°Oh it¡¯s you, Nichs!¡± They made small talk, catching up with each other. Alex said, ¡°You came here at just the right time. I¡¯m going to help my mom get discharged from the hospital. Would you please help me get the necessary paperwork?¡± Nichs pulled him aside. ¡°Alex, when Madame Brittany is discharged, where would you guys go? Are you going to bring her to the Asse mansion?¡± Nichs knew exactly how cruel the Assexes had been to Alex. Alex pondered and replied, ¡°We might stay in a hotel first. I¡¯ll buy a proper ceter.¡± Nichs¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°You have the money to buy one?¡± Alex fake coughed and lied, ¡°My mom does!¡± With this exnation, Nichs bought his liepletely. After all, Brittany used to be the CEO of Rockefeller Group, and everyone knew her as a strong and independent woman. Even if she were to be stingy with her wealth, her pocket change would still be much more than what normal people could earn. However, Nichs added, ¡°I think you guys should stay in a hotel. Juste to my ce! My family doesn¡¯t have much, but we have multiple properties. There¡¯s an empty one as of now, you can move in anytime you¡¯d like!¡± ¡°Sure!¡± After discharging his mother from the hospital, Alex bid Cheryl goodbye. Knowing that they were going to stay at Nichs¡¯s ce, Brittany didn¡¯t question anything. She had heard about her son¡¯s experiences with the Assexes after waking up. She was extremely angry about it, but she stayed silent. In an hour, they reached the ce riding Nichs¡¯s car. The building was 18 floors tall, and the apartment was on the 9th. It was around 150 square miles, a very ideal home. Alex furrowed his eyebrows upon seeing the interior of the apartment. It wasn¡¯t because it was too rundown, but on the contrary¡ªit just looked absolutely amazing. The interior design was extraordinary. It had everything that they needed as well. Nichs was right, anyone could just move in. ¡°Nichs, are all the units your family rents out well furnished like this too?¡± Nichs chuckled, ¡°Alex, you probably just didn¡¯t know that most rented apartments are well furnished. Who would want to rent them if they weren¡¯t?¡± Alex didn¡¯t question any further. He just thought the apartment was a little too well furnished. After checking the apartment out, Alex headed downstairs to get their luggage. Suddenly, a woman¡¯s voice echoed from the entrance, ¡°Nichs Hudson, are you out of your mind? You¡¯re letting these people stay in your wedding apartment? Who are they to you?¡± Alex turned around and saw a group of people walking in. The one yelling was a young woman. She looked infuriated with narrowed eyes.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Nichs¡¯s lower lip was trembling, ¡°Sis, Brother-in-Law, you- why are you guys here?¡± The ones who had barged in were Nichs¡¯s sister and her husband, Merida Hudson and Sean Wellington. Following behind them were Nichs¡¯s parents. The father approached Nichs and pped him across the face, scolding, ¡°You twat! Who gave you permission to do this? I bought this so that you¡¯d have a ce to move in with your significant other after getting married! Do you even want to marry? How could you let someone stay here this easily? I¡¯ll cut ties with you if you dare let them stay!¡± ¡°Dad, Alex is my close friend.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t! If you really were friends, he wouldn¡¯t be staying in your wedding apartment.¡± Alex felt a little awkward. He really didn¡¯t expect Nichs to offer his wedding apartment for the both of them to stay in. ¡°Please don¡¯t be mad, Mr. Hudson. We¡¯re not staying here. In fact, we already have somewhere else. We just wanted to check out Nichs¡¯s apartment.¡± Alex exined. ¡°Pfft, don¡¯t you dare lie to me. Patty from downstairs called just to inform me that my brother was going to let you guys stay here! Besides, you im that you have somewhere else to stay. So, where is that then, huh?¡± Merida yelled, visibly annoyed. Alex sighed, ¡°I really do have a ce to stay. It¡¯s at Maple Vi. Look, I have the keycard.¡± Sean looked at the keycard and realized that the number 8 was engraved into it. He smirked coldly. ¡°You¡¯re such a liar. Really? Maple Vi? This keycard is obviously a fake!¡± Merida turned to Sean and asked, ¡°How do you know that, babe?¡± Sean cockily looked down on Alex and exined, ¡°Mypany did the furnishing for every property in Maple Vi. Everyone knows that the 8th Vi is a gift from the owner of Maple Vi, Mr. Carter, to his wife. There¡¯s no way it¡¯s yours.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 48 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 48 Merida cackled and pinched Nichs¡¯s ear. ¡°Listen to your brother-inw, you naive child. What kind of people are you even befriending now? Do you know how expensive the vis are in Maple Vi? Your brother-inw wouldn¡¯t even be able to afford one in a million years!¡± ¡°Trying to trick us with a fake keycard? You are absolutely ridiculous!¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Alex was speechless. He didn¡¯t want his mother to face any insults. She had only just been discharged from the hospital. He turned to Nichs. ¡°Nichs, you can talk it out with your family. We¡¯ll be off.¡± Nichs asked, ¡°Off to where?¡± Merida smirked and joked, ¡°Where? They¡¯re definitely going to Maple Vi and stay in some grand vi of course! Why would they stay in such a rundown ce, right? Will they even get used to such poverty?¡± Seanughed at them too, treating them like clowns in a circus. Alex replied, ¡°My keycard is real. Mr. Carter gave it to me just a while ago. Nichs, it¡¯s alright, I know how much you care about me. I¡¯ll be off with my mom now.¡± He then helped Brittany out of the apartment. During the whole conversation, Brittany did not say a single word and watched her son navigate the whole situation. He was calm and collected, handling the situation maturely. Brittany was very d that he handled it so well. Nichs suggested, ¡°I¡¯ll drive you guys there.¡± The luggage was still in the car after all. Sean continued to make fun of them, ¡°Does he really think he¡¯s some hotshot? As if Mr. Carter would ever give him his vi. Babe, we should follow them and uncover his lies, just to prevent your brother from getting scammed.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Nichs then drove towards Maple Vi. He even confirmed the destination with Alex multiple times on the way. Sean, Merida, and the others followed behind. ¡°My family is following us too.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind!¡± Alex said. He initially intended to return the keycard to Charles. However, he changed his mind and wanted to buy the house instead. At the entrance security of Maple Vi, the keycard gave Nichs¡¯ car ess immediately. However, Sean¡¯s car was stopped by security. He then exined to the guards, ¡°We¡¯re together, rtives.¡± On the inside, Sean was extremely shocked. He thought to himself, ¡®Is the keycard actually real?¡¯ Merida huffed, ¡°Babe, didn¡¯t you drive my brother¡¯s car to work here? Maybe the system registered his car, so he could go in. Ours is new, so we can¡¯t get in.¡± Sean pped his thigh out of realization, ¡°Oh yeah, how could I forget?¡± Merida added, ¡°Let¡¯s see how they will face us once they find out that they can¡¯t ess the property! These poor and cunning people don¡¯t have the right to hang out with my brother.¡± They reached the property of the 8th vi. Sean was the first one to get out of the car. He pointed at the vi smugly and said, ¡°This is number 8, I¡¯ll see what tricks you can pull. If you really do have ess to this vi, I¡¯ll eat all of the grass in this garden!¡± Alex helped Brittany out of the car and red at him, ¡°Sure! If you don¡¯t keep your promise, then you¡¯re nothing more than a warthog-faced buffoon.¡± Alex then took the keycard out of his pocket and swiped it on the card reader. With a small beep, the door opened automatically. Sean froze. He was hoping to watch Alex humiliate himself in front of them. Merida and her parents, who were standing behind Sean, stared in disbelief as well. ¡°Remember to keep your promise. Eat the whole garden up, all but the flowers.¡± Alex left them a reminder and helped Brittany into the vi. ¡°There¡¯s no way, no way!¡± ¡°Number 8 was a gift from Mr. Carter to his wife! The furnishing was unique and personalised; it¡¯s exceptionally grand and luxurious. How did you even get that keycard? ¡°You must¡¯ve found this keycard somewhere!¡± Sean yelled. He just couldn¡¯t believe it at all and he definitely didn¡¯t want to eat the grass. Merida added, ¡°He might¡¯ve stolen it! Babe, don¡¯t you know Manager Miles from Waylon Realty? Call him and ask about this! If we managed to catch a thief, you would be rewarded! It¡¯ll be much easier for you to get more projects to work on in Waylon!¡± Sean nodded and pulled out his phone, about to make a call. Someone jogged up to the vi entrance. It was Charles Carter. Sean was overjoyed, he immediately greeted Charles, ¡°Mr. Carter, I¡¯m Sean from Mob Furnishing. Has your keycard been stolen? Look, the thief is over there! He even intends to live in your vi. He¡¯s got some balls to steal your vi, I¡¯ll give him that.¡± Charles turned to look at Alex and Brittany, visibly puzzled. ¡°You¡¯re saying that he¡¯s a thief?¡± ¡°Yeah, he stole the keycard to Number 8.¡± ¡°What the f*ck do you mean stole it?¡± Charles yelled as he pped Sean across the face. ¡°Alex is my wife¡¯s godbrother. Number 8 is indeed his, and you¡¯re calling him a thief? Are you looking for a death wish? Scram!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 49 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 49 Charles just witnessed Alex save his daughter and cure his wife¡¯s illness. Dr. Coney even knelt down to Alex! He could only dream to befriend such a powerful person, and yet this Sean guy was trying to destroy his chances. Both Sean and Merida were shocked to their core. Just then, Charles added, ¡°Mob Furnishing, huh? Your CEO, Mr. Edward, wanted to invite me to dinner earlier. Tell him that I have to refuse his offer and I¡¯d like to cancel our partnershippletely.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Sean was terrified; the color immediately drained from his face. N?velDrama.Org content rights. He was the manager of Mob Furnishing, but Mr. Edward was the CEO, the director of thepany. If Mr. Edward was to find out about this, there was no way that he¡¯d be let off easy! Being fired was the lightest punishment Sean could get. With a loud thud, Sean dropped his knees to the ground. ¡°Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, please spare me! I was wrong, I didn¡¯t know any better. Please spare me, I¡­ I¡¯ll p myself now.¡± With that, Sean pped himself hard on the face multiple times. Merida¡¯s face was pale as she was obviously terrified as well. They still had to pay off the loans of their new property and car. If Sean were to lose his job now, all of this would be all for naught. She immediately started pleading with Alex, and asked Nichs to help plead as well. Alex then spoke up. ¡°Charles, it¡¯s fine, just forget it. This guy is my friend¡¯s brother-inw. He¡¯s always looking down on others, and maybe just a little mental.¡± Since Alex spoke up, Charles immediately agreed to let Sean off easy. Sean and his family didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. They immediately thanked Alex and bid their goodbyes. Suddenly, Brittany spoke up. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to finish the grass in the garden.¡± Brittany used to be the wife of the CEO of apany that was worth 300 billion, she was a strong and independent woman herself as well. Although she didn¡¯t speak up earlier, she still had opinions. Sean and Merida had constantly insulted her darling little son, so how could she just sit back and watch? Upon hearing her words, Sean gulped bitterly. Yet all he could do was nod profusely. Sean then walked to the door and started eating the grass in the garden. ¡°He¡¯s¡­¡± Charles was slightly taken aback. Alex replied dismissively, ¡°Let him be. A little punishment would help him learn his lesson.¡± Just then, Hailey and Zoey came by the vi as well. It seemed that their family was living next door in Number 9. Hailey had put a lot of thought into giving him the vi. Who wouldn¡¯t want a legendary doctor living next to them? Zoey hugged Alex by his thighs whereas Hailey made small talk with Brittany. On the other hand, Nichs felt extremely awkward, so he bid Alex farewell. Alex walked him to the door and said, ¡°Nichs, we¡¯re homies, you get what I mean? If you ever need anything, you can always count on me.¡± Hailey then invited Alex and his mother to have dinner at their ce. Alex just couldn¡¯t refuse their offer. Hailey was too friendly and hospitable. During their meetup, Alex tried to return the bank card to Charles. However, Charles insisted on giving it to Alex, saying that Alex would be looking down on him if he returned it. Alex couldn¡¯t do anything else but hold onto the card. They proceeded with dinner as both families had a thoroughly amazing time. In Number 8, Alex gave Brittany another massage as they finally had time to have a long talk with each other. Brittany¡¯s was full of mixed emotions. ¡°My son, this past year must¡¯ve been so hard on you! ¡°I¡¯d like to visit your father¡¯s grave tomorrow.¡± Alex nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll have to buy a car first.¡± Alex went to a BMW dealership store in California the next morning. However, just as he entered the store, he bumped into Beatrice. Beatrice was with her clique. When she saw Alex, she approached him with a smug smirk. ¡°Heh, Rockefeller. What¡¯s a useless piece of sh*t like you doing here? Are you trying to look for a job?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 50 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 50 Beatrice and ire had met the Carters yesterday. Since Charles mentioned that he was going to give Alex a vi and ten million dors, she was in disbelief the entire day. However, after putting some thought into it, she figured that Charles was just lying to trigger them. ire had evene to a conclusion that Alex didn¡¯t like how he was kicked out, hence he asked Charles to help him out by stopping by their vi to trigger them. She even came up with a reason as to why Charles was willing to help as well. Alex hooked up with Cheryl after all. Since Dr. Coney saved Charles¡¯ daughter, it wasn¡¯t hard to ask him for help. Alex was still nothing more than a useless piece of sh*t in the eyes of the Assexes. Alex was somewhat surprised. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Beatrice huffed. ¡°I¡¯m here to buy a car. Why else would I be in a car dealership store? Do you think I¡¯m as lowly as you to be here to find a job? By the way, do you think just any loser can work in a BMW dealership store? Are you sure you came to the right ce? Are you sure you weren¡¯t actually looking for a Nissan instead?¡± ¡°Beatrice, who is he? Don¡¯t tell me, he¡¯s that useless brother-inw you keepining about?¡± A girl in a skirt snickered as she scanned Alex. She was Mona Weiss, Beatrice¡¯s university ssmate. They were in a group of four. The other two were guys. The one with a gold ne was Wilson Jordan while the other in casual clothing was Sam Culver. Beatrice clicked her tongue. ¡°You¡¯re right, it¡¯s that useless loser. But mind your words, soon he won¡¯t be my brother-inw anymore. He¡¯s such a loser that my family divorced him!¡± ¡°So he¡¯s your ex-brother-inw! Hey dude!¡± Wilson smiled. ¡°To be frank, the job application requirements of this store really is hard to achieve. Any average person wouldn¡¯t be able to get a job here. However, my brother is the manager, if you need some help with job applications, you just need to ask. An ex-brother-inw was still once a brother-inw, right?¡± Beatrice huffed again. ¡°What do you mean by that brother-inw bullsh*t? I¡¯ve never treated him like one. Why are you even helping him, Wilson?¡± Expressionless, Alex said calmly, ¡°Are you done? If you are, then get out of my way. I¡¯m trying to buy a car here.¡± ¡®What? Buy a car?¡¯ The four were stunned. ¡®Wasn¡¯t he here to get a job?¡¯ Beatrice was especially stunned and she became extremely annoyed by Alex¡¯s cocky tone and expression. She clenched her fists and yelled, ¡°Hey, you useless loser. Don¡¯t you dare try to bluff your way out of this. Can you even afford any of the cars here?¡± With a chilling gaze, Alex snapped. ¡°And what does that have to do with you? Since you want to cut ties with me, I don¡¯t owe you anything. And I definitely don¡¯t need to endure your tantrums. Mind your business or I¡¯ll put you in your ce by force.¡± Alex then barged his way through the group. He walked straight into the hall and called for one of the fairly attractive female employees there. He pointed to one of the cars and said, ¡°Hey you, I¡¯d like this car, the red one; the best one. I¡¯d like to take it on the road now, is that possible?¡± The salesdy was fairly young and she seemed inexperienced. She was puzzled by Alex¡¯s requests. The car that Alex wanted was one of the luxurious BMW cars, an imported M8. The base price was easily over two million dors. If she sessfully sold this car, she would earn thousands inmission. After a brief pause, the salesdy rushed over and nodded profusely. ¡°Ah yes, yes, that wouldn¡¯t be a problem. I¡¯ll run you through the process immediately. Would you like to apply for an installment or pay upfront?¡± ¡°Upfront.¡± ¡°Hold on.¡± Beatrice rushed over in disbelief. ¡°You don¡¯t have that kind of money. This thing costs two million dors. What, do you think this costs just a mere 200?¡± Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Alex was so fed up with her. ¡°What¡¯s it to you?¡± Beatrice huffed. ¡°I know everything about you. You even had to kneel before my mom just to get 500 thousand dors, pleading her like the lowly pest that you are. Do you even have two million dors?¡± Lord Lex Gunther did send him arge sum of money to pay the favor back a few days ago. However, it was returned to himter on. So, Alex should still be a poor lowly person. Beatrice then turned to the salesdy. ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled. I think he¡¯s just trying to flirt with you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The salesdy was surprised and confused. Maintaining a cold expression, Alex said, ¡°What would you do if I could afford it?¡± Beatrice red at him cockily. ¡°Keep bluffing, loser. If you really could afford it, I¡¯ll call you Daddy a hundred times! If you can¡¯t, you¡¯d have to kneel before me and lick my shoes!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 51 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 51 ¡®He does not deserve it; let me have it instead!¡¯ thought Wilson Jordan. Alex Rockefeller nodded. ¡°One hundred times is a lot. I will let you off easy this time. Saying it once is enough.¡± He then took out his bank card and gave it to the saleswoman. ¡°Swipe away!¡± Instantly, the saledy got to work. Thepany had ced a lot of attention on selling a two million dor car, thus making the transaction process easier. It was not long before the purchase went through. Beep! The sound of a sessful payment made. The saledy handed Alex his bankcard and various receipts in excitement. ¡°This is yours, brother. Please keep them safe. I will get to it right away. Be back in a half-hour!¡± Beatrice Assex was startled. ¡°How¡­how.. .did you get so much money?¡± Alex smirked. ¡°Well, well, Beatrice Assex. Can I count on you to keep your promise, especially as the campus belle of California State University? Hm, I wonder what will happen if news about you breaking promises starts spreading around campus? ¡°You!¡± Beatrice had a reputation to keep. She briefly contemted the severity of the consequence before calling out ¡°daddy¡± in rage. She then left immediately. How could she stay after the embarrassment she had been put through? Alex, Mona Weiss, and the rest looked at Alex with a strange expression before hurriedly going after Beatrice. Half an hourter, Alex was in his BMW M8. He mmed on the throttle and left the car dealership. He had gone for this model because Madame Brittany Rockefeller, used to drive this car. Beatrice and a few of her friends sat in their BMW 3-series parked right by the entrance and looked at Alex as he sped away in his brand new M8. Bam! N?velDrama.Org content rights. Beatrice punched the car window. ¡°Damn it! The audacity! How dare he! I will get my revenge one day!¡± ¡°Beatrice, you mentioned he was a poor and homeless dude. Where did he get the cash to buy a luxury car?¡± asked Mona. Beatrice snorted. ¡°Recently, that jerk got together with the granddaughter of California¡¯s Divine Doctor. She must have given him the money, that bitch!¡± Figuring that he would be visiting his father¡¯s grave, Alex took a detour to Gale Street, intending to buy a bouquet and fruits. After taking a turn, a ck Volkswagen came out of nowhere and rammed straight into the front of his minutes-old BMW. Bam! The front of the car was now twisted out of shape. The brand spanking new car was instantly reduced into a pile of scrap metal. The airbags that sprung out when the collision urred almost sent Alex into a concussion. Fortunately, the Force was there to protect him. The next instant, he became incessantly infuriated. A brand new car, worth a whopping two million dors, wrecked in less than half an hour after leaving the dealership. He did not get to warm up the seat yet. Suddenly, a loud noise exploded from behind, as the car was rattled once again. The rear of the car had been smashed in. ¡°Damn it! This is no ident!¡± Pushing open the door, he got out of the car. It was then that a dozen people came out of those cars and surrounded his BMW. Among them, a bald guy looked at Alex in disbelief. ¡°What luck you have!¡± he eximed. ¡°No blood nor bruises whatsoever! Come with us; Princess Fleur wants to see you.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 52 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 52 ¡°Princess Fleur? I do not know of any dumb princess here. Get out of my way!¡± Alex Rockefeller snorted. The bald guy became livid. ¡°You insulted Princess Fleur!¡± To which Alex smiled, ¡°Who knows, that bitch of a princess? Why is she looking for me? Perhaps she is an escort at the club? Sorry, I am not interested.¡± ¡°Get him, brothers!¡± Alex let out a curse and channeled his inner energy. The next second he was right in front of the bald guy. Smack! He pped him, right across the face, with full force. The bald guy did not expect Alex to take the offense and attack him first. He did not have time to react and was instantly on the floor, hacking out a few bloody teeth. His face had blown up, swollen like a pufferfish. After putting one down, Alex did not wait. Instead, he charged toward the next person. ¡°Argh!¡± ¡°Get our weapons! Surround him!¡± A few went back to their cars and got batons, sticks, and des. Upon their return, however, a few of theirrades were lying on the floor, grabbing their legs and moaning in pain. N?velDrama.Org content rights. Their legs had been broken. ¡°Argh!¡± One charged at Alex and hit his shoulder with a big club. Yet, Alex did not even flinch. He grabbed onto the club and turned it on its owner, driving it straight down on his head. A cracked skull now added to Alex¡¯s long list of injuries. He had been holding back half of his power, but it still felt too heavy-handed. The Force changed him completely, with his speed and strength increasing exponentially nowadays. Whoosh! A machete sliced through the air. It was then when Alex realized that he could clearly see the machete in motion and the trajectory it took. He struck the de hard with the club in his hand. nk! The machete flew away, embedding itself deep into the M8¡¯s window. Meanwhile, Alex grabbed hold of the man¡¯s head and ran full speed toward the hood of another car. Bam! The man did not even get to scream in pain as he was brutally knocked out by Alex, who smacked his head t out onto the hood of the car. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. These people exuded a murderous aura and were no stranger to brawls, skirmishes, blood, and gore. They did not expect things to turn out like this. Facing Alex, they were nothing but little mushrooms, harmless and defenseless. Swinging the club, Alex, once again, rushed toward his attackers. ¡°Hold on, let us talk!¡± Someone swung his machete around and said. nk! Alex parried his machete away, bringing down the club onto his leg, and breaking it. ¡°We will talk after we fight.¡± Another leg was broken. ¡°Thrashing my new car, eh? Who do you think you are?!¡± roared Alex. And another. ¡°Is this how you send an invitation?¡± Crack! Everyone else couldn¡¯t escape fate either as their legs too were shattered by Alex. Finally, he approached the bald guy, the only one who hadn¡¯t injured his legs yet. The bat was rather sturdy and remained unbroken after shattering many legs. Alex rested the club on the bald guy¡¯s belly and snickered, ¡°Well, well. I suppose the invitation did not work on me, eh? Tell me, why is this escort looking for me?¡± The bald guy stole a glimpse at the club, afraid that a slight motion from Alex would mean the end of him. He hurriedly replied, ¡°Scarface. You broke his leg. He is Princess Fleur¡¯s subordinate, and we were ordered toe and get you.¡± ¡°Oh, Scarface? I thought it was someone else.¡± Alex raised the club and jammed it downward, hard. ¡°Argh!¡± The bald guy shrieked in extreme pain. ¡°What the heck are you yelling for? I did not hit you,¡± Alex retorted. Two-thirds of the club were embedded deep into the concrete road between his thighs. The bald guy looked on in horror. Scarface messed with the wrong person this time. Not even Princess Fleur could take him down! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 53 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 53 Alex Rockefeller lifted the bald guy by his cor and said, ¡°You have to pay for the damages, three million dors!¡± ¡°Um, well, I do not have that much money!¡± ¡°Perhaps we have to pay Princess Escort a visit then!¡± Shoving the tied-up bald guy into his BMW M8, Alex pulled out the embedded machete from the window and punctured the deployed airbags. Vroom! The engines revved to life. Fortunately, although somewhat wrecked, it was still drivable. Nudging the Volkswagen out of his way, Alex drove the M8 away from the ident site, headed straight for Princess Fleur. His curiosity was piqued. Who exactly was Princess Fleur? On his way there, the car made all sorts of noises, itsponents falling apart as he drove along. It was quite a sight for onlookers and had attracted plenty of attention, more so than a brand-new BMW would. ¡°Gosh, isn¡¯t that an M8? What a pity!¡± ¡°Seems like a newly-bought car too, even the license te is not up yet. Hold on¡­Beatrice, could it be your ex-brother-inw¡¯s car?¡± It was a pure coincidence for them to witness the sight before them. Wilson Jordan elerated the car, and Beatrice Assex managed to get a good look. ¡°Hahaha! It¡¯s that idiot¡¯s new car! Oh, what joy!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even think it¡¯s insured yet. Wonderful! Serves him right!¡± added Sam Culver. It was not long before Alex arrived at a river pier. The bald guy pointed at a rustic wooden cabin by the riverbank and told Alex that Princess Fleur was currently inside. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! She lives there?¡± Dragging the bald guy along, Alex walked toward the cabin. With one forceful kick, he broke down the door and shoved the bald guy in. ¡°Argh!¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Within seconds, a few men rushed toward him. ¡°Who are you? Why are you here at the Blossom Mansion?¡¯ ¡°Do you know what this ce is?¡± Alex replied with a face of indifference, ¡°Well, Princess Escort, I am sorry, but Princess Fleur invited me over.¡± One of the men was taken aback. ¡°How dare you insult the princess? Die!¡± In a swift motion, Alex raised his leg and kicked the oing attacker. The man was sent flying like a cannonball, finallynding on the ground after crashing into a few chairs. Alex looked at a man standing next to him. ¡°Tell Princess Escort that I am here.¡± The man was rooted to the ground as he looked on in horror. ¡°Get over there!¡± With no respite, he was sent flying before crashnding onto hisrade¡¯s body. ¡°Get the hell out here, Princess Escort!¡± Alex roared. His voice reverberated in the cabin like a thunderous roar. ck! ck! ck! Footsteps could be hearding from a spiral staircase inside the cabin. Alex shifted his focus in the direction of the sound. A youngdy, dressed in a fiery red dress and red heels, descended from the staircase. As ck as coal, her hair was tied up into two buns, gently bobbing with her movements. It was a sight lovely to behold. Alex suddenly found himself quite distracted. Who would have expected a stunner here by the riverbanks? ¡°What did you call me?¡± She came to Alex, exuding a flirtatious vibe. With her tall, slender figure coupled with heels, she was only a tad shorter than Alex. ¡°You are Princess Fleur?? Alex found her sharp gaze a little unsettling. ¡°That is right, or as you said, Princess Escort. You seem like you know a thing or two. If you defeat me, I do not mind being your escort.¡± The moment she finished speaking, her expression abruptly changed. She leaped forward, raising her leg, and swiftly brought it down onto Alex, doing a dropkick all while in a dress. Alex was startled beyond belief. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 54 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 54 Thedy¡¯s heel smashed into Alex Rockefeller¡¯s shoulder. Yet, he seemed not at all affected. As the Force engaged its self-defense measures, it almost dislocated her ankles. The next moment, Alex grabbed hold of her feet and lifted her up. It was a funny sight to behold. The moment she leaped forward, she instantly regretted her decision. She totally forgot that she was wearing a dress. At that very moment, it was as embarrassing as it could get. She fought back with all her might but faced Alex, a strong, undefeatable character; her actions were nothing but a scratch on the back for him. He grasped her waist and mmed her down on a table nearby. Bam! A loud thud could be heard. Fortunately, she shielded her face from the impact with her hands. Otherwise, that face of hers would be gone. That being said, her chest hit the edge of the table hard upon impact, and she winced in pain. Pushing her down, Alex gave her a mighty p on the back. A loud crackle was heard, and a swollen bruise mark instantly appeared on thedy¡¯s body. ¡°Princess Fleur, right? I just cannot fathom your audacity, ordering people to thrash my car!¡± Another hard smack on her back followed the remark. Princess Fleur, with tear-filled eyes, cried out in pain. As one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld, she did not expect to suffer such humiliating defeat, particrly in front of all her subordinates. She was extremely livid. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g ¡°I am not a smart person, so tell me what kind of escort services do you provide?¡± Thedy was inches away from going insane. She twisted and turned, struggling to escape Alex¡¯s grip. Unfortunately, he held her down tight, and there was nothing she could do. All her subordinates were stupefied. Who was this man? How could he do it? Terrifying! Thedy screamed, ¡°Let me go, you jerk! Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me, be prepared to suffer the wrath of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate!¡± ¡°Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡¯ Alex was surprised. Did hee to their turf by ident? His grip loosened. Princess Fleur thought he was afraid. She rolled her eyes and smirked, ¡°Scared? Let me go then!¡± Alex snickered, ¡°So what about the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, huh? I am still going to give you a piece of my mind!¡± He sneered and gave her a good, hard p. At this conjecture, a middle-aged man came over hurriedly and said, ¡°Ms. Fleur, Ms. Fleur, things are¡­¡± He saw the scene unfolding in front of his eyes and was stunned. After realizing who Alex was, he was even more surprised. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I wasn¡¯t made aware that you came! Is this a misunderstanding?¡± The man was John Gates. Princess Fleur looked on in astonishment. ¡°You guys know each other?¡± John nodded, ¡°He is Lord Lex¡¯s guest.¡± ¡°I did not know Father had a guest! And an idiot to boot!¡± Princess Fleur remarked sharply. John remained silent. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 55 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 55 He knew better. After all, Lord Lex Gunther revered Alex Rockefeller, a close friend¡¯s offspring, ording to him. However, he had zero knowledge of Alex¡¯s actual identity. ¡°What¡¯s up? Why did youe?¡± asked Princess Fleur. ¡°My, I almost screwed things up. Lord Lex passed out suddenly.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Princess Fleur shrieked. ¡°Go, we need to get to Hell¡¯s Angels now!¡± She dashed out, limping a little, and quickly got into her Lamborghini. Following right behind her was Alex, who got into the passenger seat. ¡°Why are you here? Get off my car!¡± She was annoyed. Alex sat unperturbed. ¡°Start the engine; we are going to see your Father.¡± ¡°What has it got to do with you?¡± ¡°You will know when we get there.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. The Lamborghini sped away, leaving nothing but dust trails behind. Half an hourter, they arrived at Hell¡¯s Angels. As soon as the car was parked, Princess Fleur sprang out. ¡°Where is Father?¡± ¡°In the room by the backyard. Mr. Jakob is currently tending to him.¡± Alex followed right behind. He was a visitor here before, and under Lord Lex¡¯s orders to grant him free movement in and out of Hell¡¯s Angels, he was not stopped nor questioned by anyone. He saw Lord Lex and was shocked. A man in his fifties, Lord Lex, was the epitome of a man with power, exuding dominance and authority wherever he went. Yet, he now looked like a man in his seventies instead, frail and weak, devoid of energy and liveliness. It has only been a few days since theyst saw each other but he now looked like apletely different person. Something was off. Alex immediately understood why. It was all thanks to his Third Eye, an ability described in the Ultimate Book of Medicine that allowed the practitioner to identify every single issue within a human body, no matter the disease or the severity of it. An evil being was currentlytched onto Lord Lex¡¯s body. Princess Fleur asked a man dressed in a doctor¡¯s robe next to her, ¡°Mr. Jakob, what is wrong with Father?¡± Mr. Jakob knitted his eyebrows, looking disturbed. ¡°He fainted out of the blue and lost his energy and spirit. I checked everything, but I have no idea what is going on.¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you send him to the hospital then?¡± demanded Princess Fleur. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; I will take care of him. Please, leave the room,¡± said Alex. Princess Fleur was livid. ¡°Who the heck are you? This has nothing to do with you; get out!¡± This wasn¡¯t Mr. Jakob¡¯s first encounter with Alex, as he was stationed here as Lord Lex¡¯s personal doctor. He exined, ¡°Lady Fleur, Mr. Rockefeller here is Lord Lex¡¯s esteemed guest. Lord Lex instructed us to treat Mr. Rockefeller with the utmost respect and hospitality.¡± Princess Fleur was mindblown. ¡°What? How could I not know who he is? Anyway, Father is now unconscious, do you know how to treat him?¡± ¡°Yes, I do.¡± Alex nodded. His affirmation cast a few doubts on all present in the room, especially Princess Fleur and Mr. Jakob. Alex shook his head in resignation. They would have to see it with their own eyes to believe him. ¡°Well, if you refuse to leave, fine, I will tell you the truth. Lord Lex is the victim of a voodoo spell. Right now, a little demon istched onto his body, sucking the life out of him as we speak.¡± ¡°What?!¡± ¡°I beg your pardon?¡± How could they believe such a ridiculous exnation offered by Alex? ¡°I know you wouldn¡¯t believe me.¡± Alex turned Lord Lex on his belly and tore his shirt open. ¡°Look!¡± On Lord Lex¡¯s back were two little bloody footprints, while on his shoulders were two little bloody handprints. They looked like marks made by a little child on his back. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 56 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 56 Princess Fleur looked bewildered. ¡°Little demon? Where?!¡± ¡°Right in front of you, it¡¯s looking right into your eyes!¡± said Alex Rockefeller. He was curious about why he did not freak out since this was his first encounter with something like this. Perhaps, after acquiring the Ultimate Book of Medicine¡¯s wisdom, he gained the experience and knowledge of countless ancestors, as if he experienced it himself. Princess Fleur indeed felt an unknown being stroking her face at the moment. ¡°Argh!¡± She screamed and leaped onto Alex¡¯s back, clinging onto him as if her life depended on it. Alex felt a soft sensation on his back and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist. For a short while, he thought of sumbing to the temptation. ¡°Lady, I am not your husband. Keep your hands off me.¡± Alex patted her on the back. Cheekily, it was the same spot where she was injured just previously. Princess Fleur was embarrassed. After a moment of awkwardness, she hurriedly jumped down. Once she moved away, Alex gave Lord Lex Gunther¡¯s back a good, hard p. Reeeeee! A sound, unlike anything a person had ever heard, rang across the room. Princess Fleur shivered and was just about to jump onto Alex¡¯s back, only for him to push her away. He saw the little demon utch from Lord Lex¡¯s body and escape the room in a whiff of ck smoke. Alex quickly chased after it and saw it enter a painting. He got closer and immediately understood. Waving his hand at Mr. Jakob, he asked, ¡°Do you know where this painting came from?¡± Mr. Jakob shook his head. Princess Fleur, too, had never seen that painting before. Lord Lex regained consciousness then and said, ¡°This is a genuine artifact from centuries ago. It was gifted to me by a friend a few days ago. Why?¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°This painting right here is the problem. That thing lives here.¡± Lord Lex was a little confused until Princess Fleur exined everything. His expression darkened as he cursed, ¡°Xavier Young! You are trying to kill me, aren¡¯t you!¡± Alex continued, ¡°This painting is where the little demon lives. We cannot let it remain here. I will take it away with me and return it once everything is taken care of.¡± Lord Lex looked at him wide-eyed. He had no idea Alex was capable of doing things like this. Anyway, he wanted nothing to do with the painting and asked Alex to take it with him. Alex nodded and looked around the room before resting his gaze on Princess Fleur. ¡°I want to borrow something from you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Alex grabbed onto the bottom of her dress and tore a big piece of fabric out of it. Princess Fleur was stupefied. She did not expect the turn of events! Alex, however, retrieved three red threads from the fabric. He needed them. Tying them into an unusual knot, he then secured it onto the painting. It was a method to lock a supernatural being down. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 57 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 57 Afterward, Lord Lex Gunther was talking to Alex Rockefeller, with nothing but surprise in his voice. ¡°Just how did you do what you did then, sir?¡± ¡°I learned it from a wandering gypsy back when I was still in school. It¡¯s really nothing to be proud of, nothing to brag about.¡± Alex smiled. Lord Lex added, ¡°Sir, you are one-of-a-kind and truly destined to do great things in the future!¡± ¡°Oh gosh, stop with the ttering.¡± Alex rolled his eyes. ¡°I was just telling the truth,¡± replied Lord Lex. As the conversation progressed, Princess Fleur¡¯s name was mentioned. She was also known as Waltz Fleur. Lord Lex had two adopted sons and a daughter. They were Azure Storm, y Ember, and Waltz Fleur, also known as Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s main battle force in the underworld¡ªthe Three Great Chieftains and they all possessed incredible fighting prowess. ¡°I see.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sir, are you interested in Waltz? Should I send her your way?¡± ¡°No, no, hold on. I am at my wit¡¯s end with my wife, I need a break. By the way, my mother woke up. We are living in Maple Vi now. Please contact me if you are faced with simr problems again.¡± Lord Lex was thrilled. ¡°Amazing, she is awake! Thank the Gods! Unfortunately, I will not be visiting as after all, I am not weed there with my status.¡± ¡°You think my mother wants nothing to do with the underworld, that is why my father told her nothing about it?¡± Lord Lex nodded. ¡°It is a form of protection after all.¡± Alex sighed. ¡°You are not better off here too. Things are quite dangerous, please look out for yourself. If you need help, please let me know.¡± There was a glint in Lord Lex¡¯s eyes as he said, ¡°I will, thank you so much!¡± Alex took his leave then. He decided not to mention his dispute with Waltz. They were acquaintances now, hence there was no way he could get paid for the settlement for his car. Back at Hell¡¯s Angels. ¡°Father, who is that jerk? Howe I know nothing about him?¡± Waltzined. Lord Lex frowned. ¡°Show some respect for Mr. Rockefeller!¡± ¡°He had no respect for me! He hit me!¡± Waltz snorted in reply. ¡°Hold on, you are no match for him?¡± Lord Lex was surprised. ¡°I will defeat him when I see him again next time!¡± Waltz growled and promised. Lord Lex was shocked and took quite a while to return to his senses. ¡®Just how enigmatic can Alex Rockefeller be?¡¯ He wanted to reveal Alex¡¯s identity to Waltz but thought the better of it. After all, the fewer the people who know, the better. Alex returned to the pier in his wrecked M8. He stuttered to a halt in front of the car dealership. The saledy, who serviced Alex just a while ago, was Chloe Zea. Seeing the pathetic state of the M8, she covered her mouth in disbelief. ¡°Gosh! It has only been two hours! The car insurance is not ready yet, what can we do?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Do you have a simr car? Just rece it with mine.¡± ¡°We do have one, but sir, this is not possible.¡± Chloe was put in a difficult spot. ¡°What about the overhaul needed for your wrecked car?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it? I don¡¯t want this anymore and will buy another exact model of it.¡± Chloe looked at her client wide-eyed and dumbfounded, obviously finding it hard to believe what she just heard. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 58 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 58 Half an hourter, Alex Rockefeller arrived at Maple Vi in his new BMW M8. The previous wreck was left behind at the dealership. After some inspection, the staff found the mainponents of the car to be functioning as intended. It was as good as new after some overhaul. Upon Alex¡¯s departure, a small crowd quickly gathered around Chloe Zea, with envy and jealousy stered all over their faces. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Chloe, you are so lucky today! That is at least a hundred thousand dors inmission for you!¡± ¡°Where should I go to meet such a generous man?¡± ¡°You should keep in touch. He is such a young guy and a handsome one too! If you manage to entice him, your life is set!¡± Chloe¡¯s eyes twinkled as she started fantasizing. It was two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. California¡¯s West Hill Cemetery. Also the worst cemetery in the state. Run-down and neglected. Alex and his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, stood in front of a deste tombstone. The founder of the titr Rockefeller Group, with his worth amounting to hundreds of billions of dors before his death, could only be buried here in the most run-down and deste spot. It was extremely difficult on Brittany. Seconds in, she dropped to her knees and bawled her eyes out. Alex cried silently and hugged his mother. It took a while for her emotions to stabilize. Gently plucking the weeds off the grave, shemented, ¡°Why? Why was your father buried here? He loved havingpany more than anyone else when he was still alive. He is so lonely here.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Rockefeller family have their own cemetery? It was bought by your father when your grandmother passed away. Why wasn¡¯t he buried there?¡± Alex sighed. ¡°After the incident, John Rockefeller used Dad of corrupt practices and treason, selling sensitive research information to folks of other countries. The old man believed his usation and banished us from the family. John also said that Dad did not deserve to be buried in the Rockefeller cemetery and colluded with a few of California¡¯s major burial grounds to reject Dad¡¯s ashes. This was the only ce that epted him.¡± He continued after a brief pause. ¡°Do not worry, Mom, for I will avenge Dad. I will find out the truth and seek the one responsible for everything!¡± Brittany¡¯s expression darkened. Being an extremely capable woman, she knew how to control her emotions well as she said, ¡°Alex, John Rockefeller is a nasty character with many devious tricks up his sleeves. We have to n our actions carefully.¡± Alex nodded in acknowledgment even though he already knew what he needed to do. Brittany continued, ¡°John has perhaps misled your grandfather. Whatever happened, your father was his eldest son. The Rockefeller family¡¯s wealth was the result of your father and my blood, sweat, and tears, and we meant to pass it down to you. They do not deserve it. Our banishment is absurd. That being said, we need to see your grandfather.¡± They needed to do that to know what they were dealing with. ¡°The old man lives in Assex Manor. It will be quite a feat to see him without any interruptions,¡± said Alex. Brittany replied, ¡°We need Uncle Cole¡¯s help. Only he can get your grandfather out of his house.¡± Uncle Cole was also known by his full name, Gavin Cole. He was Bill Rockefeller¡¯s best buddy; after all, they had known each other since they were young. It should not be a problem with Gavin¡¯s help. That night, Alex and Brittany found themselves over at the Cole Residence, waiting for Bill¡¯s arrival. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 59 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 59 Bill Rockefeller had no prior knowledge of Alex and Brittany Rockefeller¡¯s presence. He arrived at six in the evening. Compared to a few days ago where he looked glum and morose after receiving a p on the face from Lord Lex Gunther, Bill was apletely different man today. He was in high spirits andughed as he entered the room. ¡°Gavin! What¡¯s up with you? Really rare of you to invite me for a drink, eh!¡± He then saw Alex standing at the side. His smile faded from his face. ¡°Traitor, what are you doing here?¡± Bill had the shock of his life the other day and pushed all me onto Alex, seeing that he was still a good-for-nothing brat. Alex looked straight ahead and remained silent. Instead, Brittany spoke, ¡°Father, Alex is still your grandson. How can you say those things to him?¡± ¡°Ah! Brittany¡­You¡¯re alive?¡± Bill was startled. ¡°Indeed, I am. You don¡¯t seem too happy about this, though?¡± Returning to his senses, Bill¡¯s expression darkened as he snapped angrily, ¡°The lot of you were banished a long time ago. You tramp! Don¡¯t you dare call me father, for I am not yours anymore. I do not care if you die; it has nothing to do with me!¡± Brittany still had her hopes up when she came, but now, they were all shattered. ¡°I want to ask you this. Why? Why did you banish us? Rockefeller Group and Rockefeller Manor are both ours. If there should be anything, it should be you lot to be the ones who should leave.¡± ¡°You sleazy fool! Both of you, mother and son, are nothing but dirt to me. Do not even fantasize about Rockefeller Group! Go about your miserable lives and leave us alone!¡± Gavin Cole interjected, wanting to defuse the situation. However, Bill was unyielding. If Gavin insisted on speaking, they would no longer be friends. Brittany tried to hold her rage in. Shuddering, she spoke, ¡°Father, I¡­¡± ¡°Do not call me, father. You do not exist in our family.¡± Bill cut her off coldly. ¡°Fine. Mr. Rockefeller, there are some things I would like to speak to you in private,¡± Brittany said through gritted teeth. ¡°Are you trying to bribe me? Say it now. I do not want to see you anymore after today!¡± Brittany took a deep breath. ¡°Fine, I will say it! Your eldest son, William, is innocent. It was all a conspiracy fabricated by John to frame him! The day before Alex¡¯s wedding, we found evidence of John defrauding money from thepany and having close ties with the Japanese!¡± ¡°What a load of bullshit! You are the one framing him! Keep spewing nonsense, and I will smack the living hell out of you!¡± An enraged Bill roared. Brittany was even angrier. ¡°You believe every single thing John says, but none of mine! Why are you so biased? William is your son too! We built Rockefeller Group from the ground up! How could you do this to us?! I have evidence!¡± Bill was slightly taken aback at her remark but scoffed in return. ¡°Evidence? You must have fabricated them too. I will never believe you! Your familymitted treason and should have been imprisoned for all you have done. If I hear any of this circting around, I will have you know that framing John is an offense I take seriously. You will suffer my wrath!¡± Alex was at his limit hearing Bill vilifying his mother with obscene remarks. He yelled in anger, ¡°You old fool! Are you mentally challenged? If I hear another insult from you, I will knock you out with my bare fists!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Bill was infuriated. He raised his hand on Alex. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 60 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 60 Alex Rockefeller quickly intercepted and grabbed Bill by the hand mid-air. He red and sneered. ¡°Old fool, enjoy thest days of standing up. Your happy days are numbered.¡± Earlier, he observed Bill Rockefeller having a serious case of blocked arteries in his brain. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he would suffer a stroke and be bedridden. To say Bill was mad was an understatement. He left in a rage. Gavin Cole sighed, ¡°I have no idea why he is in such a bad mood. You all are a family, aren¡¯t you? Don¡¯t worry, Brittany. I¡¯ll talk to him.¡± Brittany remained silent. Brittany and Alex wanted to meet Bill to find out his sentiment, but the response was even worse than expected. Bill did not take the death of William Rockefeller seriously. His attitude toward Brittany and Alex was atrocious. The truth did not matter. All he wanted was for them to leave the Rockefeller family, like trash being swept out of the house. It started drizzling when they left Cole Residence. The autumn weather was slightly chilly. ¡°Mother, are you telling the truth when you said that you have evidence of John¡¯s corrupt practices?¡± asked Alex after they got into their car. Brittany shook her head. ¡°It has been more than half a year. Even if they existed at one point, there is none left now. Plus, John is now legally Rockefeller Group¡¯s owner. He has ess torgeworks. Hence there is no way we can fight him head-on, given how weak we are. We have to bide our time.¡± ¡°That is a lot of work!¡± Alex remarked. With the Thousand Miles Conglomerate behind his back, he needed at most a few days to destroy Rockefeller Group. There were also specific tactics to be used to coerce members of the Rockefeller family. However, this would definitely expose the ties between Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Alex. That was unthinkable! Mostly since Lord Lex Gunther was the victim of the attempted murder, Alex knew he had to tread much more carefully. ¡°It is pretty manageable, to tell the truth. Rockefeller Group was started by your father and me years ago. Do you remember the basis for our sess and growth?¡± asked Brittany. After giving it some thought, Alex replied, ¡°The Bounty e Cream?¡± Brittany nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, Bounty e Cream. Or more urately, its secret form. Every other product manufactured by Rockefeller Group is designed as aplement to the cream. Years ago, your father obtained the secret form by chance, which spurred Rockefeller Group¡¯s rapid growth. Before the ident, we managed to refine the current form, giving it better efficacy. I have the updated form with me.¡± Alex winked. ¡°Which means that we could seize Rockefeller Group¡¯s market share just by releasing improved products?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Of course, there are a lot of details involved. I will get to it.¡± Alex chose to remain silent as he listened. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g His mother was once a capable businesswoman. She needed something to focus her attention on before she went insane, thinking about his deceased father everyday. Bill returned home in a fury. Throwing a tantrum around, he smashed a beautiful set of jade teapots. John Rockefeller hurriedly asked in astonishment, ¡°Father, what happened?¡± Bill replied angrily, ¡°It¡¯s Brittany, that good-for-nothing woman. She is alive! And came to interrogate me! I thought you said she was never going to regain consciousness?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 61 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¡ªJames Coney. What a shameless man!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. 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. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 62 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 62 Brittany Rockefeller was unconscious and bedridden for more than six months, during which she could only be kept alive with IV fluids. Even as she regained consciousness, it would take time for her to recuperate and recover. With that in mind, Alex Rockefeller wrote a prescription to hasten her recovery process. However, he did not possess a medical license. As such, he was not allowed to obtain the various drugs needed from pharmacies and hospitals alike. Only Cheryl Coney could help. Hence, he dialed her number. Cheryl was at the hospital as they spoke and agreed to it immediately. Plus, she was also very fascinated by Alex¡¯s prescription. Speeding along the streets in his M8, he arrived at the hospital in no time. Cheryl was talking to a family member of a patient in her office. It was pleasing to see her speak in a gentle voice and carry herself so graciously. Dorothy Assex, on the other hand. It had been a long time since Alex felt any warmth from her. Neglect and apathy were daily urrences, together with Beatrice and ire Assex¡¯s hatred toward him. As such, he¡¯d rather stay at the hospital. Of course, he did not resent Dorothy, for he yed a big part in it. While he was deep in thought, the patient¡¯s family left. Cheryl waved her hand in front of Alex¡¯s face and said, ¡°Hey! What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Alex returned to his senses and said casually, ¡°Nothing much; you look extremely gorgeous today; I got a little distracted.¡± Cheryl was taken aback by his witty remark and proceeded to kick him in the shins. ¡°Such a sweet talker! Where is the prescription? Can I see it?¡± Alex steadied his emotions and handed the prescription over to Cheryl. Cheryl¡¯s abilities were stillcking behind her grandfather¡¯s. That being said, she was not to be underestimated as she possessed at least sixty percent of James Coney¡¯s abilities. However, she could not fathom the prescription. ¡°What is this? I see many ingredients used to aid recovery. Although I do not think they are suitable for your mother since she just woke up. Did you obtain this from the inte? No, I cannot approve your prescription.¡± ¡°It will work. Look, I¡¯ve added a few ingredients to neutralize some of the more harmful effects of the drugs and to sustain their medicinal properties. With some acupuncture on the side, it should work fine¡­¡± said Alex convincingly. After listening to Alex¡¯s exnation, she gave it a thought before she decided to believe him. ¡°Alright, I will give my approval.¡± ¡°Thank you, pretty Doctor Coney. I knew you are a good person!¡± ¡°Hold on, and I am not done yet!¡± Cheryl rolled her eyes. ¡°I want to observe how your mother is going to consume it.¡± ¡°Of course, feel free.¡± ¡°One more thing, can I ask you about the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± Alex started demonstrating the techniques to Cheryl. In order to achieve a better didactic effect, Alex showed Cheryl the acupuncture points on her body. Thest needle was done on an acupuncture point roughly three inches above the chest. And just as he touched the spot with his finger, the office doors opened, with none other than Dorothy Assex standing on the other side. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. She saw Alex¡¯s hand on Cheryl¡¯s body, who was not showing any signs of resistance. She charged forward and swung her hand across Alex¡¯s face. Smack! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 63 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 63 pped by Dorothy Assex, Alex Rockefeller looked at her in astonishment while Cheryl Coney eximed, ¡°How could you hit him!¡± Dorothy red at the woman in the doctor¡¯s robe and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it, huh? We are still husband and wife, and you are nothing but a mistress!¡± A nurse came by then, wanting to see Cheryl, and was quickly distracted by the drama unfolding before her eyes. All she could think of was Cheryl Coney, the granddaughter of California¡¯s Miracle Doctor and the hospital¡¯s star, being somebody else¡¯s mistress. Alex frowned, seeing the nurse¡¯s presence. Hurriedly, he pulled Dorothy aside and said, ¡°Stop talking nonsense. There is nothing between Doctor Coney and me!¡± Dorothy violently shook her hand. ¡°Get your hands off me! What were you doing, huh? I saw everything!¡± The scene attracted the attention of a few more nurses. Alex understood the danger if things were left to their own ord. Dragging Dorothy behind him, Alex leaped for the exit. ¡°My apologies, Doctor Coney! I am counting on you for my mother! My wife must have bought into my psychotic mother-inw¡¯s nonsense. I am so sorry!¡± Trying his best to keep Cheryl¡¯s innocence, he dragged Dorothy away until they came to a secluded stairwell. He was just about to leave when she took the offense and bit him on his arm. Overwhelmed by a massive wave of pain, Alex managed to suppress the force. Otherwise, Dorothy¡¯s teeth would have chipped off. ¡°Aren¡¯t you sorry?!¡± Dorothy screeched, tears welling up in her eyes. Alex looked at her and smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned with that overreaction! You still care, don¡¯t you? What did your mother say? Was it something like, I was cheating with Doctor Coney, and we are currently living together? Of course, your sister was there to fan the mes too! Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what they said. Do you believe me?¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Dorothy red. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Oh no, I thought your mother says it every day?¡± ¡°But¡­ I saw it with my own eyes!¡± Alex summoned his courage and gently embraced her. ¡°You were mistaken. I was asking for advice on how some acupuncture techniques were to be used on mother.¡± ¡°You sure?¡± ¡°Why would I lie?¡± ¡°Well, I want you toe have lunch with me then.¡± ¡°Of course, the queen can never starve! Let¡¯s go. I know a good restaurant nearby.¡± They got into Dorothy¡¯s car with Alex in the driver¡¯s seat. Once again, he summoned his courage and gently grabbed her pale yet smooth hands. ¡°Dorothy, you must be exhausted from your business trip. Let me take care of you from now on.¡± It was a little awkward for a couple who had not been so intimate with each other all this while. Alex put his hand onto her shoulder and moved his head closer¡­ And the silence was broken by a ringing phone. Dorothy jolted back to her senses, and hurriedly pushed him away. ¡°All talk and no action is not the way. Why don¡¯t you ept the call first?¡± ¡°Cheryl Coney¡± was shown on the caller ID. Seeing that, her demeanor instantly became chilly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 64 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 64 Alex Rockefeller wanted to take the call outside of the car, but that would make him look guilty of any wrongdoing. He exined, ¡°It¡¯s Doctor Coney. I needed her help to prepare a prescription.¡± He should not have exined, as Dorothy Assex quickly added, ¡°Are you going to go on speaker mode?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± replied Alex. ¡°Hello, Doctor Coney!¡± He greeted me after epting the call and started to switch on the speaker mode. Unexpectedly, Cheryl replied in a slightly flirtatious voice, ¡°Why are you calling me Doctor Coney? Just call me Cheryl instead now that we are not in the hospital anymore.¡± Alex shivered. He noticed a murderous aura emanating from Dorothy. ¡°Uhm, is there anything you want to talk to me about?¡± ¡°I just want to know¡­ if you are okay?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Of course! Don¡¯t worry.¡± Cheryl smiled. ¡°Your ex-wife is quite the character, isn¡¯t she? I was a little frightened just now. So, how are things between you and her? I thought you were divorced, so why is she still meddling in your affairs?¡± That was thest straw on the camel¡¯s back as Dorothy erupted. She snatched the phone over and yelled, ¡°Listen here, I am not his ex-wife! We are not divorced and never will! Give up! As a doctor, aren¡¯t you embarrassed to be a mistress and destroy marriages?¡± Alex¡¯s worst fears came true. He felt a storm brewing. As the granddaughter of California¡¯s miracle doctor, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Growing up soft-spoken and well-tempered, Cheryl¡¯s upbringing did not stop her fromshing out as well. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what kind of life Alex leads in your house? Since you cannot fulfill your duty as a wife, why are you keeping him to yourself? You are a selfish woman, and you do not deserve him!¡± ¡°And you do?¡± Dorothy was livid. ¡°Of course, a little better than you!¡± Cheryl retorted with an air of arrogance. Alex was at his wit¡¯s end. ¡°Doctor Coney, please stop with your shenanigans! You are bringing nothing but trouble to me!¡± Dorothy shouted at the phone, ¡°Shameless!¡± and instantly terminated the call. She red at Alex and hurled the phone his way. ¡°And you said there is nothing between you two? Tell me, what is this then?¡± Alex hurriedly exined, ¡°Dorothy, it is nothing like you imagined. She meant no harm; it was all Chloe¡¯s doing!¡± ¡°Are you going to leave me alone?¡± Dorothy stared at him as if he were her prey. ¡°Okay, I will leave.¡± Alex scrambled out of the car. Dorothy shifted to the driver¡¯s seat and mmed her foot on the elerator. The car sped off, leaving a trail of smoke and dust behind. On the other side, Cheryl regretted everything she said over the phone. That was the stupidest move she could ever make! ¡®What if Alex thinks I have a crush on him?¡¯ A whileter, Alex called. Steadying her breathing, she epted the call. Alex mentioned nothing about what had happened, only about the prescription. Cheryl said, ¡°The prescription is ready. Although there is one ingredient I cannot get hold of, the wild ginseng. We do not have it here in the hospital, nor over at Ganoderma. Either you figure out a way yourself, or we switch it to regr ginseng.¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°That cannot do. This is the main ingredient for my prescription. I will think of a way to get it. No worries, thank you so much, Doctor Coney.¡± ¡°Did I trouble you just now?¡± Cheryl asked carefully. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You did. I was so close to getting ady into my bed. Now that thedy is gone, you need to look for one for me,¡± answered Alex. ¡°You¡­I am not talking to you, pervert.¡± Beep. Beep. The call ended. Alex looked at the sky and let out a deep sigh. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 65 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 65 An hourter at the Assex Manor. Dorothy Assex returned with a miserable expression. Seeing that, ire Assex was pleased and said smugly, ¡°I told you, right? The county courthouse opens at nine in the morning tomorrow. We are going to file your divorce immediately.¡± ¡°Nobody is getting a divorce here,¡± Dorothy said coldly. ire immediately jumped on her two feet. ¡°Dorothy, just how smitten are you? What is so good about him? Even after what he did to you? Look, I know Spark Rockefeller likes you. Let me talk to him tomorrow.¡± ¡°Mother, what is wrong with you? Did you forget what that jerk did to me?¡± ¡°At least he is better than Alex! He cheated on you!¡± replied ire. Dorothy stormed upstairs without saying anything else, and she was not in the mood to have dinner. It was seven o¡¯clock at night when Dorothy received a phone call from Shermaine Ford. ¡°Lady Assex, headquarters called saying that an important meeting will be held tomorrow at nine at ourpany. The board of directors is sending three of them over, and the entire upper management of thepany is required to attend. It will be held at Conference Room No. 3 in Tower 2.¡± ¡°Understood, thank you.¡± After ending the call, Dorothy rubbed her temples in irritation. ¡®Grandmother must be pissed. I am not getting out of this safely. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.¡¯ It was nine o¡¯clock, but Alex was still out. He was nowhere to be seen even as the clock struck eleven. Was he with the female doctor from this morning? The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. ¡°Where are you?¡± She dialed his number. ¡°At home!¡± answered Alex. ¡°Hah, what a joke. You mean, the doctor¡¯s home?¡± ¡°Yeah, right. Didn¡¯t I tell you already that there is nothing between us? I am in my own house taking care of Mother.¡± ¡°Hold on. Mother is awake?¡± ¡°She is. There is no other reason for her to stay at the hospital, hence why we decided to return home.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it?¡± demanded Dorothy. Alex replied, ¡°You gave me the boot before I could say anything.¡± Dorothy was speechless. Why did he hide such important news from her, his own wife? ¡°Send me your address. I am visiting Mother tomorrow.¡± ¡°Will do.¡± Alex was thrilled hearing Dorothy addressing Brittany as ¡®Mother¡¯ instead of ¡®your mother.¡¯ It was a good start. The next day, Dorothy arrived at the conference room just as the clock struck nine. To her surprise, it was empty. Calling out to an employee nearby, she asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t there supposed to be a meeting here? Where are the people?¡± ¡°Oh, Lady Assex, I think it is going on at Conference Room No. 1 over at Tower 1.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Dorothy rushed over, calling Shermaine multiple times on her way there. However, her call was not picked up. Something was clearly off. The meeting had been going on for more than half an hour when she arrived. Anderson Assex was the host of the meeting. He reprimanded Dorothy when she entered. ¡°Dorothy Assex, how can you bete? As the GM of this branch, your tardiness reflects your incapabilities and weakness. Clearly, you are not fit to run thepany!¡± Dorothy was shocked. She saw Shermaine among the attendees and asked, ¡°Shermaine, what is going on? I thought you told me it was going to be held at Conference Room No.3 over at Tower 2 at nine in the morning?¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°No, I said eight-thirty at Conference Room No.1 here at Tower 1.¡± Shermaine shook her head. And she hurriedly shifted her gaze to her feet. Emma Assex could be heard snickering. The sight of those was all Dorothy needed to know. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 66 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 66 Shermaine Ford betrayed her. Dorothy Assex was infuriated. After all, she guided Shermaine to where she was today. From giving her an opportunity right after high school to entrust her with managerial roles and repay her loans, she was an immense help throughout it all. At the end of the day, Shermaine chose to side with Emma Assex and yed a nasty trick on Dorothy, embarrassing herself in an important meeting. A true traitor. Emma, who was Anderson¡¯s daughter and the rumored person to rece Dorothy as the new general manager, looked at Dorothy with a smirk on her face. ¡°Lady Assex, I believe your secretary gave you the right information. I think you overslept. s, that abandoned son of Rockefeller brought us a massive contract in exchange for a favor, but you had to mess it up. I know you were upset and chose to make up for it in the bedroom. However, please do not get caught up in your own desire. You have a company to run.¡± Dorothy¡¯s expression was as frosty as the winds of winter. ¡°Emma Assex, quit with your nonsense! You are not a member of the board of directors nor thispany. Please leave.¡± Wham! Anderson mmed the table with his palm and pointed his finger at Dorothy. He roared, ¡°You are the one leaving this room. From now onwards, you are not the general manager anymore. Emma will be taking your ce.¡± Emma stood up and nodded at the crowd in the conference room. With a smile on her face, she said, ¡°I am Emma Assex. It is my pleasure to be of service to thepany.¡± She then looked at Dorothy mockingly. Anderson pped, followed by the directors. Thepany¡¯s upper management looked at each other in much confusion but started pping after initiating apuse. Dorothy grimaced. ¡°Uncle, I am the general manager here. It is not something you can decide on.¡± ¡°I knew you would say that. This is the document initiating the leadership change from the headquarters. The board of directors signed off on it. Read it with your own eyes,¡± said Anderson. He hurled a clipboard into Dorothy¡¯s way. A paper was attached to it and it was the document from the headquarters. Dorothy¡¯s heart was shredded to pieces as she read it. Sadness, anger, and disappointment were insufficient to describe how she felt at the moment. She put in tremendous effort, building thepany with her very own blood, sweat, and tears from the ground up. And what did she get at the end? Nothing. She clenched her teeth as she endured the mocking stares from the crowd. Anderson snorted and looked at his daughter with a smile. ¡°I hereby announce Emma Assex as the new general manager of Assex Constructions¡¯ branch here in City South. Please give her a round of apuse and wee her to the team!¡± Everyone stood up and apuded while congratting Emma. Only Dorothy stood motionless in the shadows. Emma sneered at Dorothy before pping her hands together and said, ¡°Please have a seat. Thank you. I want to announce a decision made by thepany. Starting from this month, all employees¡¯ wages will be increased by thirty percent, an appreciation for all the hard work and effort put in for the company.¡± Most of the time, spending sufficient money to please people was a tried and trusted method, and this time, it was no exception. The employees roared and cheered happily. She continued, ¡°Also, I hereby announce Shermaine Ford as the first secretary to the GM. Your compensation will be adjusted ordingly. From now onwards, you are my private secretary.¡± ¡°Thank you so much, Lady Assex! I will do my best!¡± Shermaine smiled. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Dorothy threw a filthy nce at Shermaine and snorted. The biggest impostor of the year had to be her! Emma stole a nce at Dorothy and said, ¡°The thirty percent wage increase does not apply to Dorothy Assex as it is only for the upper management. You are transferred to the customer service department with a starting wage of three thousand dors. We hope you will do your best for thepany. Now, please leave, as you are not allowed in here.¡± ¡°Cut the act, I quit!¡± Dorothy snapped coldly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 67 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 67 She then left. Not long after, an email titled ¡°Dorothy Assex dismissed due to incapability, to be reced by Emma Assex¡± was sted out to every employee¡¯s email address. Many felt the unjust treatment dished out to Dorothy. Especially the ones who worked alongside Dorothy when she started and knew just how much effort she put into thepany. Yet¡­ When Dorothy left with her personal belongings, nobody came to say goodbye. Everyone lowered their heads as if she did not exist. When she stepped out of the office, tears welled up in her eyes. Shermaine Ford was waiting at the exit. ¡°I treated you as best as I could, why did you betray me?¡± demanded Dorothy in disbelief. Shermaine smiled coldly. ¡°I chose to side with the better party. You cannot me me for the fault lies on you, for being such a weak and insignificant member of the Assex family.¡± ¡°I hope you will not regret your actions.¡± Dorothy nodded. ¡°Of course not, good riddance!¡± Shermaine turned and walked away, swaying her hips in a prideful manner. Over at the headquarters of Assex Constructions. The CEO¡¯s secretary, a prettydy herself, hurriedly knocked on the CEO¡¯s door. She said to Benny Assex, ¡°CEO, bad news. We just got news from the marketing department that Waylon Realty will not extend our contract.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Benny Assex was Madame Joanne¡¯s eldest son. He immediately jumped to his feet after hearing the news. Waylon Realty was California¡¯srgest real estatepany. Recently, they managed to purchase four massive lots ofnd at City North, with a total area of over a million square feet. It involved the development of residential areas,mercial buildings, business lots, and multipurpose towers, all to establish City North as California¡¯s newestndmark. The number of construction materials required to make it happen was astronomical. So the saying went, a contract to supply construction materials to Wayton Realty was every construction businesses¡¯ dream here in California. However, it was alsomon knowledge that the Assex Conglomerate had been dealing with Waylon Realty for a long time. There was nothing else the others could do. This meant that nobody else had doubts about Assex Constructions taking over this particr project. To prepare for this particr partnership, Assex Constructions made plenty of arrangements, such as purchasing their raw materials in massive quantities ahead of time. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. However, with the contract terminated, the capital spent was down the drains. With that came cash flow issues and the Assex Conglomerate would have to be dissolved within three months since they could not pay their loans. That was why Benny was in a huge shock. ¡°Arrange a meeting with Waylon Realty¡¯s CEO, Mr. Carter immediately. I need to see him personally!¡± ¡°But CEO, you have a meetinging up, you cannot miss that too!¡± ¡°What should we do? Call Anderson Assex and inform him to attend to the matter immediately!¡± Anderson received the call but was not at all worried. He was nning to send his daughter, Emma Assex over as the representative of Assex Constructions. If she could salvage the contract, it would mean a huge boost to her status in the family. Riding in his brand new M8, Alex Rockefeller was waiting for Dorothy outside of Assex Construction¡¯s City South branch office. He was to bring Dorothy over to visit Brittany Rockefeller. ¡°Is this a BMW M8?¡± Dorothy was surprised to see Alex¡¯s ride. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Alex smiled. She was even more surprised to find a little girl in the rear seat of his car. ¡°Who is this kid?¡± asked Dorothy. ¡°A child of my neighbor. Her name is Zoey Carter and her father happens to be Charles Carter. Do you know him?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 68 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 68 ¡°What? Do you mean she¡¯s daughter of Charles Carter, the CEO of Waylon Realty?¡± Dorothy ran a construction materials business and 70% of the Assex family¡¯s ie came from Waylon Realty. Hence, there was no way that she did not know Charles. However, Charles never heard about her. At the moment, feeling shocked, she was bereft of speech and could only stare nkly at Zoey Carter. As Zoey looked back at Dorothy, she asked softly, ¡°Are you Uncle Rockefeller¡¯s wife? Haven¡¯t you both already divorced?¡± Again, Dorothy was in daze. ¡°How did she¡­ Hi, Zoey, I¡¯m Dorothy Assex. You can address me as Auntie Dorothy. By the way, we haven¡¯t divorced.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Immediately, Zoey pursed her lips and let out a sigh. ¡°Sigh, why didn¡¯t you divorce? In that case, I can¡¯t marry Uncle Rockefeller. It¡¯s annoying!¡± Dorothy¡¯s eyes widened with aplete shock. Alex quickly exined, ¡°She¡¯s still a kid, Dorothy. She knows nothing about divorce, so just don¡¯t take it personally.¡± Zoey argued loudly, ¡°What makes you think I don¡¯t know? I know we can sleep together after getting married. My friend in kindergarten, Melvin, always thinks about marrying me but I don¡¯t want to because he will pee his pants and I¡¯m worried that he will make my dress wet!¡± ¡°Uhmmm.¡± Children¡¯s words carried no harm. However, it was interesting, so Alex and Dorothy burst intoughter. A moment after departure, Dorothy received a call from ire. ire panicked like a cat on a hot tin roof after learning that her daughter got fired. That also meant the three of them ¡ª mother and daughters ¡ª no longer had any ie, so how were they going to sustain themselves? ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you got fired, Dorothy, isn¡¯t it? Don¡¯t get me worried, please.¡± Alex clearly heard ire¡¯s voice from the phone. He looked at Dorothy with surprise and heard she answered destely, ¡°Yes.¡± The next second, ire screamed loudly as though someone had stepped on her toes. ¡°Gosh! It¡¯s true! What now? What should we do? We have no money for food, and we¡¯re going to live on air! Don¡¯t tell me that we¡¯re gonna beg for food? It¡¯s all that bad Alex¡¯s fault! That trash is incapable of doing anything but only creating problems! If it weren¡¯t for him ying dumb in the Assex family, would you get fired? Would our family be in such a dire situation now?¡± Dorothy replied as she glimpsed at Alex, ¡°Mom, this has nothing to do with Alex. I have something else, let¡¯s call it a day.¡± ¡°What¡¯s it? What else is more important than the loss of family ie? Come home now and we have to figure this out. Perhaps, we can seek help from Spark, we¡¯ll be fine if he¡¯s willing to help us.¡± Alex was speechless as he heard her words. He could not believe that his mother-inw was so realistic to that extent. Dorothy said, ¡°Mom, I really have to go, bye.¡± She switched off her phone as soon as she put down the call. However, Alex¡¯s phone rang soon after. Dorothy said, ¡°Don¡¯t answer!¡± Alex switched it to silent mode and said, ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid. She will definitely lecture me if I answer.¡± He then ced his hand on herp and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll support you financially as I made you lose your job.¡± Zoey, who was in the rear seat, screamed, ¡°Oh gosh! It¡¯s blinding me! My eyes! My eyes!¡± Alex asked helplessly, ¡°What did your teacher teach you in the kindergarten, Zoey? Your teacher set a bad example for you..¡± While resting her chin in her hands, Zoey answered, ¡°Sigh, our teacher knows nothing!¡± This child was impressive! Along the journey, Dorothy insisted on getting some gifts and they filled up half of the car boot as though she only had the gut to see Brittany with those gifts. They finally arrived at Maple Vi. Dorothy tried very hard to suppress her curiosity as she followed Alex and entered the vi. At first nce, the vi was a few times superior than what her family owned, with a bigger area and more luxurious furnishing. There was even an indoor swimming pool! Gosh! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 69 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 69 Then, she saw Brittany standing there lively with a couple beside her. She saw the photo of the man before¡ªit was Charles Carter. Thedy with a beautiful look, needless to say, was Charles¡¯ wife, Hailey Lawson. At the moment, Charles and Hailey were helping out Brittany in the kitchen. Witnessing such a scene, Dorothy¡¯s jaw almost dropped. ¡°Mom! You, you¡¯ve recovered! That¡¯s great!¡± Dorothy said. ¡°Dorothy.¡± Brittany smiled. ¡°A, that¡¯s kind so kind of you bringing so many gifts, you don¡¯t have to do that.¡± Brittany had a differing opinion about Dorothy as she heard that her son lived as though a ve in the Assex family and even got humiliated by his mother-inw. How could she not be angry when that was her one and only son? However, Alex had been strongly speaking well of Dorothy in front of her. He imed that those were just rumors and he was the incapable one who failed to live up to expectations. Brittany decided to let it go, especially after hearing that Dorothy stabbed her own chest in order to secure their marriage. ¡°Hey, Alex! Come and lend me a hand while I¡¯m cooking.¡± Hailey took Alex away with a smile and let Zoey to y with her father. Dorothy blinked her eyes, stunned and shocked with disbelief. How could Alex be so close to the Carters? She never heard that they had any connection! Meanwhile, Emma ambitiously arrived at Waylon Realty with her secretary, Shermaine Ford. Emma said, ¡°Shermaine, I brought you here because I trust your capability. Don¡¯t you ever screw up. When the timees, you will have to sacrifice yourself even if you have to sleep with someone. After the deal is sealed, I¡¯ll reward you with two millions dors and we will be best friends.¡± While gritting her teeth, Shermaine said with a nod, ¡°Alright!¡± However, after arriving at the entrance of Waylon Realty, the security guard kicked the two of them out as soon as he heard they were from Assex Constructions. ¡°Get the hell out of here. Waylon Realty doesn¡¯t wee you.¡± Emma immediately hinted at Shermaine with her eyes. Shermaine got the message. Hence, after pulling down her cor a little and exposing her fair skins, she took a step forward and said, ¡°Hey, sweetheart. I think there must be some misunderstanding. We are from Assex Constructions, and have a close working rtionship with Waylon Realty.¡± As she spoke, she drew closer and rubbed the guard¡¯s chest with her hand! Smack! Feeling shocked by her action, the guard then pped Shermaine across her face without hesitation. She was stunned by the sudden p. ¡°F*ck you, b*tch! My wife is working here, how dare you harass me!? Do you think I wouldn¡¯t beat the sh*t out of you? Get out of here now! Don¡¯t ever think that you guys from Assex Constructions will be allowed to enter. This is an order! Are you two deaf?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± While the two of them were getting shoved and chased out of the building by the guard, Emma writhed in pain as she sprained her ankle in high heels. Shermaine said while covering her face, ¡°GM, it seems that Assex Constructions has been cklisted. Is there a conflict with Waylon Realty? Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t treat us this way.¡± At this moment, Emma received a call from her father, Anderson. ¡°I just got this news, Emma. Charles is not in the office today but at Maple Vi. Be there as soon as possible and get the deal. Your granny is now aware of this matter and told the young ones in the Assex family that whoever manages to seal the deal with Waylon Realty, will be rewarded with 10% of the shares from Assex Constructions and be the next general manager. You have to seize this opportunity at all costs as Jonathan, Charlotte and Bernadette are aggressively fighting for it as well.¡± After hearing the news, Emma burst with excitement all of a sudden. Ignoring the intense pain of her ankle, she said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to Maple Vi now, Shermaine. Failure will not be tolerated this time. I¡¯ll reward you with ten million dors if we get the deal, otherwise, you¡¯re fired!¡± However, as they arrived at the entrance of Maple Vi, they were still blocked by the guard, leaving them no way to go in. Therefore, Emma lied and imed that it was a matter of life and death and she must see Charles as soon as possible. The security guard was helpful, hence, he hurriedly gave a call to Charles. ¡°Hi, Mr. Carter, a woman named Emma Assex has something urgent to see you¡­¡± Before he managed to finish his sentence, his phone was snatched by Emma. ¡°Hi, Mr. Carter, this is Emma from Assex Constructions. Can you give me five minutes for an important discussion?¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. On the other side, Charles, Alex, and a fewdies had already seated for dinner. After taking a glimpse at Dorothy, Charles said to the phone, ¡°A moment, please.¡± He then excused himself while pulling Alex aside. ¡°Hey, bro. Just to give you a heads up. Do you remember that I¡¯ve terminated the coboration with Assex Constructions out of anger when you were kicked out of the Assex family and got humiliated by your mother-inw earlier? Emma Assex is just outside the vi now. She must be here for this matter. Do you think we should let her in?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 70 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 70 Charles would definitely reject her if it was the time before he met Dorothy. However, now that Alex and Dorothy decided not to divorce after reconciliation, so Charles could only think of seeking Alex¡¯s opinion. When Alex heard that, he was a little shocked as he did not expect that Charles would do that for him. However, he shook his head as soon as he heard the name ¡°Emma Assex¡±. ¡°Just a while ago, my wife has just got fired by Assex Constructions and the one who reces her seems to be Emma Assex.¡± ¡°What?¡± Charles was shocked. Never did he believe that Dorothy would be fired by Assex Constructions despite she was a member of the Assex family. Alex smiled awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. Now Dorothy has to suffer for me because I offended Madame Joanne a few days ago.¡± At this moment, Alex¡¯s phone rang and the name ¡°Beatrice Assex¡± appeared on the screen. After pondering for a while, he decided to answer the call. However, ire¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°Hey, Alex, is Dorothy with you?¡± ¡°Anything urgent? Otherwise, I have to hang up.¡± ¡°Wait, wait! Let me tell you something urgent. Since Dorothy got fired, Madame Joanne has given her word. Now that the agreement between Assex Constructions and Waylon Realty has expired, hence whoever junior from the Assex family manages to seal the new deal with Waylon Realty will be the next general manager of Assex Constructions and acquire 10% of thepany shares. You must inform Dorothy and urge her to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, our family will be finished. You¡¯re also finished, and so does your mom. Do you get it?¡± Her voice was very loud to the extent that Charles could hear it. As a strange smile appeared on his face, he said, ¡°The quality of the construction materials from Assex Constructions are rtively good. I actually have an idea¡­¡± A momentter. Emma heard Charles¡¯ voice. ¡°Okay,e in. I¡¯m at No. 8 Vi.¡± Emma was very excited as she heard that. A good start was equivalent to halfway mark on the road of sess. Shermaine was also very excited as if the ten million dors were already waving their hands at her. She even thought about how she could spend those ten million dors and had psychologically prepared to seduce Charles¡­ She even wondered if she really managed to hook up with Mr. Carter, would it not be a decent luck? It seemed that it was really a fortunate year for her. She was d that she picked the right alliance, otherwise, she would not be so lucky now if she sided with Dorothy. Therefore, they entered No. 8 Vi. Both Emma and Shermaine¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their heads as they saw Dorothy and Alex were having dinner with Charles¡¯ family. ¡°How is this possible? This isn¡¯t real.¡± Both of them desperately winked their eyes but they definitely did not see them wrongly. They were indeed Dorothy and Alex. However, they did not know Brittany. Dorothy was shocked as well, as she did not expect Emma¡¯s arrival. Charles said, ¡°Emma, is it? We are having family dinner. You only have five minutes. Tell me, what is it about?¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Emma regained herposure after a while. Perhaps she had limited capability, hence, she got nervous when encountering such an unexpected situation. While stuttering, she said, ¡°Car¡­ Mr. Carter, yes. I¡¯m the general manager of Assex Constructions¡¯ subsidiarypany in City South¡­¡± Charles interrupted. ¡°Straight to the point, please.¡± Emma said after swallowing some saliva, ¡°I¡¯d¡­. I¡¯d like to invite Mr. Carter to renew the contract with Assex Constructions. I¡¯ll try my best to fulfill any terms and conditions as per your request.¡± Shermaine knew it was going to be difficult when Emma said that. ¡°Haha!¡± Hailey let out a sardonicugh. ¡°Any terms and conditions? Does that include sleeping with someone else?¡± Emma quickly exined, ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t mean that. I mean, I¡¯ll try my best to fulfill themercial terms and conditions.¡± Charles asked with a smile as he looked at Dorothy, ¡°What do you think, sis-inw?¡± As soon as she heard what Charles addressed Dorothy, Shermaine¡¯s facial expression changed instantly as if her heart was being stabbed. Just a while ago, she even provoked Dorothy that she was talented enough to pick a beneficial alliance. However, did it not seem that she had picked the wrong alliance now? How could Dorothy be Charles¡¯ sister-inw? Dorothy answered with derision, ¡°Charles, I think I¡¯m not going to give my opinion on this matter since I¡¯m no longer an employee of Assex Constructions.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 71 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 71 Charles nodded and waved at Emma and Shermaine. ¡°I think Assex Constructions is not suitable for Waylon Realty, both of you can leave now.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Emma said, ¡°Ain¡¯t you gonna say something, Dorothy? Even though you¡¯re no longer an employee of Assex Constructions, you¡¯re still part of the Assexes. Help me, I¡¯ll pay you ten million dors if we get the deal.¡± Dorothy lowered her head and continued with her meal. She was toozy to even look at her due to the worrying intelligence of that woman. Charles chided, ¡°Get out of here! Do you think you can just get anything from Waylon Realty solely with your connection?¡± Both women were kicked out of the vi. The door banged shut behind them. Emma was extremely pissed off and her eyes were filled with malice. Shermaine had a gloomy yet regretful expression on her face. If Dorothy had Charles to back her up, she would not have to worry about losing her position as a general manager. However, Shermaine herself would certainly lose her job if Charles refused to renew the contract with Assex Constructions. She thought about her newly bought property and the huge sum of loan. She would not be able to pay for the installments if she lost her job. At the moment, her legs gave away due to the extreme anxiety. ¡­ In Assex Manor, Madame Joanne was anxiously sitting on her usual elevated seat while the descendants of the Assexes were sitting there in fear and trepidation. They all knew that once they lost the coboration contract with Waylon Realty, the Assexes would be finished and they would face bankruptcy three monthster. ¡°What should we do now? We have spent so much and even borrowed a big amount of bank loans! Who¡¯s the idiot who decided to bulk purchase the materials in advance?!¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s better to sell off the materials at a cheaper price now to cut loss.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a big hassle and the value of Assexes¡¯ assets would be reduced by half. Besides that, who can afford to buy so many stocks in California?¡± Suddenly, Emma came in. Anderson quickly took a few steps forward. ¡°Hey girl, how was it? Did you manage to see Mr. Carter?¡± Emma nodded. ¡°Yes, I did.¡± The Assexes were instantly delighted and came closer. ¡°How was it? Did you get the contract?¡± Old Madame Assex asked nervously. Emma shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Everyone at the scene immediately looked disappointed. Emma continued and said, ¡°It¡¯s all because of that b*tch, Dorothy Assex! Waylon Realty refused to sign with Assex Constructions because of her doings. She threw a monkey wrench in the works so that Mr. Carter wouldn¡¯t sign the contract with us.¡± ¡°What? Dorothy? Why would she do that?¡± ¡°Because she got fired, so she messed this up out of anger.¡± ¡°Does Dorothy have this capability?¡± Anderson doubted. Emma continued angrily, ¡°Do you know what I saw when I met Mr. Carter? Dorothy and her trashy husband visited Mr. Carter and were having dinner with his family! He even asked Dorothy¡¯s opinion. He would sign the contract if she agreed, but she refused to!¡± Smack! Anderson hit hard on the table. ¡°This is absurd! This b*tch really deserves to die! Mom, I suggest kicking Dorothy, Beatrice, and ire out of the family and never allow them to return!¡± Madame Joanne remained expressionless. ¡°And then? We are all doomed together, waiting for bankruptcy?¡± The rest of the Assexes were left speechless. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Madame Joanne said coldly, ¡°Indeed, Dorothy deserves to die, but we can¡¯t kick them out of the family now. In contrast, we have to persuade her nicely! You¡¯re the one who decided to fire her and your daughter is the one who reced her position. Later, both of you should bow your head and apologize to her, and return the position of general manager to her.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Emma was shocked with disbelief as she could not ept it. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 72 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 72 After the dinner, Alex and Dorothy left Maple Vi as Alex had to help Brittany to get an over hundred- year-old ginseng. Along the journey, Dorothy behaved like a curious baby. ¡°How do you know Charles? ¡°Howe you are staying at Maple Vi? ¡°Both of you seem to be extraordinarily close! ¡°And, what about this car¡­¡± Alex asked with a smile, ¡°I honestly have no idea how to answer you as you threw so many questions to me in one go. In fact, it was because of Zoey. When Zoey was eating mountain hawthorn and it got stuck in her throat, I was just there to help and take it out.¡± Dorothy asked with a frown, ¡°Is that it? And he gave you such a big vi in return?¡± Alex said, ¡°Uhmm¡­ we are just staying temporarily. He knew that we had no amodation when I was kicked out by your mom, hence, so he asked us to move in.¡± There was nothing wrong with his words. After all, his name was not registered on the property deed. Dorothy said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to be appropriate. Why don¡¯t you move back with Mom?¡± Alex quickly shook his head. ¡°Your mom will kill me if I go back. Besides that, my mom is not a congenial person and both of them would end up fighting. Just leave it as it is. I¡¯ll figure something out. What about you? Do you want to move here?¡± ¡°Where do I sleep?¡± ¡°My room.¡± ¡°Go away.¡± She paused for a second as she thought that her words seemed somewhat unreasonable. Just like what Cheryl said, since she could not bear the responsibility of being a wife, what qualification did she have to hold back and refuse to divorce? Thus, she then said, ¡°Give me some time. I¡¯m not ready yet.¡± Alex said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m already used to it.¡± His reply made Dorothy even more depressed. She wondered if they should just look for spare time and settle the matter someday! In fact, it was quite challenging to find the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. After checking with a few pharmacies, Alex could not find it. Even if some sellers imed that they had the hundred-year-old ginseng, but after they were shown, only did he realize they were just a hoax. It would be great if the ginseng were at least fifty years old. At this time, Alex¡¯s phone rang. He took a look and saw ire¡¯s name on the screen again. Alex said, ¡°I think it¡¯s better for you to switch on your phone. Otherwise, your mom will be calling me all day and you know I¡¯ll get a headache whenever I hear her voice.¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You endured it for the past six months though.¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t give up on you.¡± With that, he finally answered the call after Dorothy red at him. ¡°Yes, Mom!¡± ¡°Get Dorothy to answer the call.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not here¡­¡± ¡°Stop fooling me, Emma saw both of you had dinner together and she¡¯s now at my ce with her father. Hurry and get her toe home. We have something urgent to discuss.¡± ire hung up the call as soon as she finished talking. Alex said with a smile, ¡°Anderson and Emma are at your ce now.¡± Dorothy said, ¡°Uncle Anderson has never paid a visit to my house as he thought that bad luck would fall on him if he everes over. Why are they at my house now?¡± Alex said, ¡°Do you still not see it? They certainly came over to apologize! Assex Constructions will be badly impacted if they lose the deal with Waylon Realty. Hence, Madame Joanne was driven to act desperately by offering the position of general manager and 10% of thepany shares. Emma must have gone back andined to Madame Joanne about you since she failed to get Charles¡¯ greenlight and saw you having dinner with him. However, Madame Joanne is too smart. She knows your words might get through Charles from your interaction, so she must have wanted your help to get the deal by forcing the father and daughter to apologize to you.¡± Dorothy said in surprise, ¡°But, what good would it do? It¡¯s such a big contract. Is Charles going to change his mind just because of me?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 73 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 73 Alex smiled and said, ¡°Be patient, I¡¯ll definitely help you get 10% of thepany shares and the position of general manager.¡± Dorothy said with her eyes sparkling, ¡°I don¡¯t need those things. I only need to get back the subsidiary company in City South.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Seeing Alex being endowed with intellect and confidence in handling matters, the gloominess that had lingered inside Dorothy for about half a year started to dissipate a little. She concluded that it was because Brittany finally woke up from hera. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Swiftly, they arrived at Assex Manor. However, they seemed to have judged wrongly. Anderson and Emma did note to beg for a genuine apology. As Dorothy and Alex arrived at the entrance, they could hear Anderson¡¯s arrogant voice. ¡°Hey ire, you should be aware that since Henry¡¯s death, you and your daughters have been able to live afortable life in such a vi with a housekeeper, it¡¯s all because of generosity by the Assexes.¡± ¡°But, what has Dorothy done? She ruined the family business and do you think that¡¯s ethical?¡± ¡°You now have only one choice: get your daughter to help Emma to get the contract signed. Otherwise, all of you will be kicked out of the Assexes and this vi will be taken back! You all can stay under the bridge!¡± ire¡¯s face immediately turned pale and her legs were numb as she thought about the consequences. At this moment, Alex and Dorothy entered the house. ¡°Wow, Anderson, you sure really are majestic enough to show off your power at my house. Who do you think you are?! Get out of my sight and leave as far as possible!¡± Alex said with an icy tone. Furiously, Anderson cursed as he red at Alex, ¡°Do you think an abandoned child from the Rockefellers and a useless person who lives off a woman like you would be even qualified to talk to me? Kneel before me and apologize now for being rude to me! What now? Look at you, are you gonna hit me? Come on!¡± Alex said with a cold gaze, ¡°As you wish.¡± Smack! Alex pped Anderson across his face. Anderson slumped on the floor and half of his face was swollen. ¡°Gosh! Dad!¡± Emma was extremely shocked and red at Alex with her eyes widened. ¡°Scoundrel! How dare you hit my dad?¡± Smack! Alex did not say anything, but soon after, another pnded on Emma¡¯s face. ¡°Not only I have the courage to p your dad, but I can p you as well! What now?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m easy to be bullied after losing the favor of Lord Lex Gunther? In fact, all of you are just trash in my eyes! Frankly, I don¡¯t mind ruining the Assexes and expelling you all out of California if you continue being so unreasonable and disrespectful to my wife! Before that, I also don¡¯t mind making the two of you vanish from this world.¡± ire was initially happy but she started to feel worried after a short while. What was so good about her idiotic son-inw pping Anderson and Emma? He just made things worse for everyone! ire immediately stopped Alex. ¡°Hey! Who lets you hit them? Do you think you¡¯re very capable by pping them? You¡¯re going to get our family killed. Get out now!¡± Alex helplessly said, ¡°Calm down, the Assexes are in deep sh*t now and no one can secure the deal with Waylon Realty except Dorothy. Otherwise, why would these two people get Dorothy for help?¡± ire was stunned, ¡°What? Only Dorothy can get it?¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Carter would only look at Dorothy. Therefore, if I¡¯m not wrong, Madame Joanne actually sent them here for an apology. However, it turned out that they tried to force Dorothy to help them secure the contract. Do they think that we¡¯re fools?¡± ¡°Ahh¨C¡± ire screamed with a shock, ¡°If Dorothy is the only one who can get it signed, then¡­ we will get 10% of thepany share and the position of general manager? Oh gosh! That¡¯s amazing!¡± At this moment, Anderson¡¯s phone rang. It was from Madame Joanne, who called to check the progress. Anderson said, ¡°Hi, Mom. I¡¯ve apologized to Henry¡¯s family, but Dorothy refuses to help us and her trashy husband even boasted that he is going to get our family ruined and kicked out from California.¡± Smack! Once again, Alex pped Anderson across his face. After snatching his phone, he said slowly, ¡°Your son is not here to apologize. Joanne, why don¡¯t youe over to help him with your walking stick!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 74 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 74 As soon as Madame Joanne heard his mockery, she wished that she could hurry forward and kill Alex with her walking stick. However, it was a matter of life and death for the Assex family. Thus, she immediately got her eldest son, Benny to pay a ire visit with her. They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutester. As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as sheined, ¡°Grandma, Dorothy and her trashy husband are simply rubbing salt in the wound! They are jealous of our family¡¯s prosperity and deliberately want to destroy it! That bastard did not only hit me but dad too! He is a brute!¡± As Emma was just doneining, Alexnded another p on her beautiful face before Madame Joanne even managed to express any opinion. ¡°Emma Assex, a woman like you has no right to insult me, Alex Rockefeller,¡± Alex said indifferently after pping Emma, ¡°My mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do so, but you¡¯re not qualified at all.¡± Emma¡¯s face was reddened as she was extremely pissed off. Anderson shouted furiously, ¡°How dare you act violently here, brute?!¡± Alex shrugged his shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure you have no teeth to eat tomorrow if you ever insult me again.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Madame Joanne was extremely angry as she gasped heavily with her eyes widened. She said as she tried to suppress her anger, ¡°Stop being arrogant, Alex.¡± ¡°Did I? I think both of them are even worse though!¡± Madame Joanne interrogated as she frowned, ¡°Anderson, Emma. Have you apologized and reinstated Dorothy just as I told you?¡± Emma said, ¡°We did. Daddy and I had apologized to them sincerely and almost kneeled before them, but they refused to forgive us and let us off the hook.¡± ck! After switching on her phone and clicked on a video clip, Dorothy threw it on the table. ¡°Is this how you apologize sincerely?¡± The video showed everything happened since Anderson and Emma entered the house. In fact, after hiring the new housemaid, ire secretly installed CCTVs at home as she was concerned that the housemaid would steal things. Thus, the scene was coincidentally recorded. Sincerely? No way. In contrast, they were being arrogant and even threatened them. p! Madame Joanne pped on Anderson¡¯s face. ¡°Bastard, didn¡¯t you hear what I said? Now, apologize to Dorothy and ire.¡± As Madame Joanne was truly angry, both Anderson and Emma could only follow her instruction to cate her. They bowed their heads and apologized obediently. However, everyone knew that deep in their hearts they were unwilling to submit. Soon after, Madame Joanne tried to sweet-talk a little before switching the topic to the contract between Waylon Realty, with the expectation that Dorothy must secure the deal. ire said, ¡°Mom, earlier you passed down the word that whoever manages to get the deal will be given 10% of thepany shares and the position of general manager? Is it still valid?¡± A dash of extreme disgust flickered in Madame Joanne¡¯s eyes. However, she still nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Emma snorted and said, ¡°It¡¯s still early to be happy about it. Do you really think Charles will definitely agree to sign the contract? He¡¯s not even Dorothy¡¯s man, so what¡¯s the point to sign it if it¡¯s not profitable to him?¡± Alex said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The contract is still exactly the same as before.¡± Dorothy said, ¡°Grandma, I don¡¯t need the 10%pany shares from Assex Constructions nor the position of general manager. I just want mypany in City South.¡± Madame Joanne was delighted. ¡°Sure.¡± Alex added, ¡°We need to put the agreement in ck and white that Dorothy will own 100% of the subsidiarypany shares in City South, and Assex Constructions has no right to interfere with its operation.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 75 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 75 ¡°What? You want 100% shares? No way, 70% is the maximum.¡± ¡°Deal.¡± ¡°You¡­?¡± Alex said with a smile, ¡°Grandma, the contract with Waylon Realty will be presented to you by tomorrow noon. Please get the equity contract of the subsidiarypany in City South ready as well. It¡¯s a deal. Goodbye, Grandma. I won¡¯t be sending you off.¡± After leaving the vi, Madame Joannemented loudly while beating her chest and stamping her feet, ¡°Brute! He is such a brute! What have the Assexes done to deserve this!¡± Meanwhile, inside the vi, Madame ire asked with a frown, ¡°Are you insane, Dorothy? How could youpare the 70% of subsidiarypany shares in City South and the 10% shares from Assex Constructions? The difference is just too much. Also, the position of general manager at the headquarters is much more important. You are losing the big prize while grabbing trifles.¡± Dorothy shook her head and said, ¡°Mom, it¡¯s not easy to be a general manager in the headquarter. There¡¯s CEO and deputy CEO, the general manager is just a puppet whose role is strenuous and unrewarding. Besides that, we are not even sure if we can sessfully get the 10% shares of Assex Constructions. What¡¯s the point if we manage to get the shares but we can¡¯t do anything about them?¡± Madame ire said, ¡°That¡¯s true, Madame Joanne is too smart! By the way, how did youe across Charles? Did you really have dinner together earlier?¡± Dorothy said, ¡°I don¡¯t know him, but Alex does. Alex has helped a lot this time.¡± With that, she sat on the couch. ¡°Ouch! My feet are very sore after walking so much today!¡± She looked at Alex as she massaged her feet. Burst with excitement, Alex said as he walked toward Dorothy, ¡°Let me help you, Dorothy.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Without waiting for Dorothy¡¯s approval, he took the seat beside Dorothy and ced her fair feet on his laps, and then began to gently massage one of her feet. Before marriage when they were still dating in university, Alex often helped Dorothy to massage her feet¡­ Dorothy¡¯s feet were of US 5.5 shoe size. Those fair, tender feet were small and exquisite with appealing, slender toes ¡ª the quality was the best of the best. Alex said as he massaged her feet, ¡°Dorothy, you¡¯ve been wearing high heels quite often recently, so that¡¯s the reason for poor blood cirction in your feet. Anyway, I¡¯ll help to give you a foot massage every day and I promise you¡¯ll get better.¡± As he said that, he applied an aura and began to stimte her blood cirction using a very unique technique. Dorothyfortably leaned on the couch as she enjoyed the process. Alex was very happy too. After ten months, their rtionship finally had a breakthrough and seemed to have improved. At this moment, ire also took a seat next to them. She ced both of her feet on the tea table and said, ¡°Hey Alex, after you¡¯re done with Dorothy, help and massage my feet too. My feet are sore too these two days.¡± ¡°What? You want me to massage your feet?¡± Alex was shocked with his lips trembling a little. He was willing to massage Dorothy¡¯s feet as he loved her. However, as for ire, she was not tactful enough. ire said, ¡°What now? Just give me a massage. I¡¯m your mom, can¡¯t you even show a bit of filiality? Otherwise, why do I even need a son-inw?¡± Dorothy said softly, ¡°Alex, just give a massage to my mom for a short while. You¡¯re really good at massage and it¡¯s reallyfortable.¡± Alex felt helpless and thought, ¡°That was because I¡¯m worried that she would feel toofortable and ask me to massage her feet every day. What should I do when ites to that?¡± Fortunately, ire looked like a 30-year-old beautiful madame instead of those olddies with stinky feet. Her feet were slightly bigger in size than Dorothy, with her toes painted with red nail polish but the remaining features were almost the same. ¡°Hey Alex, since you¡¯re so close to the boss of Waylon Realty, why don¡¯t we get Waylon Realty to buy all the construction materials from our subsidiarypany in City South? In that case, won¡¯t we make a lot of profit?¡± ire asked as she enjoyed the massage. Alex knew ire very well as she was a greedy person. Thus, he quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m not certain. Mr. Carter only offers a one-time favor and it might not even work after this.¡± Indeed, ire¡¯s facial expression changed immediately and she snorted, ¡°Hmph! So, it¡¯s just a one- time favor? I thought you will be able to make a good pile of money this time! Hurry up! Massage harder! Ouch! Too hard! Are you trying to kill me?¡± At this moment, Cheryl called. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 76 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 76 Alex put down ire¡¯s fair, tender feet and said, ¡°I need to answer a call.¡± ire shouted, ¡°Why are you in a hurry? It¡¯s just a call! There¡¯s one more foot to go! Well, you¡¯re quite good at massaging.¡± Alex turned around with an annoyed look. ¡°I¡¯ll wash my hand first.¡± As soon as he answered the call, Cheryl asked, ¡°Alex, have you gotten the hundred-year-old ginseng?¡± Alex sighed as he answered, ¡°It¡¯s seriously a rare item. I couldn¡¯t find any even though I¡¯ve searched quite a number of ces.¡± Cheryl said with a smile, ¡°I knew it. I¡¯ve gotten one for you.¡± ¡°Oh! Seriously?¡± ¡°Yes, I just happened to see it and then immediately bought it.¡± ¡°Where are you now? I¡¯lle over.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll send you the address.¡± After Alex finished the call, he saw ire with one foot lying on the tea table, hinting that she wanted him to continue with the massage. Alex immediately said, ¡°Dorothy, Mom, I have to go now because I have something to do.¡± Dorothy asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alex answered with a smile, ¡°Bro Charles is looking for me. I¡¯ll also discuss the contract with him by the way.¡±Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. He did not dare to mention that he was going to meet Cheryl. ¡°Alright, go ahead!¡± ¡°Alex, there¡¯s still one more to go. Why don¡¯t you finish the massage first before you leave? It¡¯s just about ten minutes¡¯ difference, isn¡¯t it?¡± ire swayed her foot in front of Alex as she said. ¡°Mom, Alex has something important to discuss. Is your foot more important than the contract?¡± Dorothy said as she frowned. ire immediately said, ¡°Of course the contract is more important. Okay, you can go and settle the contract matter. We can continue with the massage when youe back.¡± Alex almost fainted. ¡°There¡¯s a foot reflexology center near the gate of the neighbourhood. Just go there for a massage. The staff there are more professional than me.¡± ¡°I have to pay for that though.¡± ¡°Damnit! Does she think that I¡¯m a free-of-charge foot massage servant?¡± Alex thought as he was seriously worried that ire would always get him to massage her leet. Although her leet were not that bad, he could not bypass his psychological barrier. He did not perform the massage because he wanted to, but it was just for fun. Therefore, he quickly took out two thousand dors from his pocket and threw it on the tea table. ¡°Here you go, it¡¯s my treat. You can also get a membership card and go there every day.¡± He quickly left as soon as he ended the conversation. The address which Cheryl sent was a pedestrian street located nearby. Alex managed to find Cheryl at a bubble tea shop in less than twenty minutes. She was wearing navy jeans with decoration of small white flowers and there were a few lines of horizontal rips on her thighs. She wore a T-shirt with yellow and white stripes and a pair of sunsses, with her hair tied in a ponytail as she sat there drinking her bubble tea. She looked elegant yet casual. The high-traffic scene on the pedestrian street formed a beautiful scenery. Alex saw many people frequently turned back to enjoy the view as well. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, I could barely recognize you in this outfit,¡± Alex said with a smile as he walked toward her and sized up her physical appearance several times. Through her sunsses, Cheryl rolled her eyes before passing a bag, which contained a cup of bubble tea, to him. ¡°I bought you a beverage.¡± Alex took it with a smile. Many male passersby saw the scene. They could not help feeling jealous, much to their chagrin, and thought, ¡°Oh, darn! She is such a beautiful woman, but she has a boyfriend! Well, that guy is not that cool anyway!¡± Swiftly, Alex saw the ginseng. After taking a glimpse and sniff, Alex was certain that it was the hundred-year-old ginseng. Most importantly, it was a fresh, wild ginseng as a small amount of mud was left on its roots! That was more valuable than the processed ginseng. ¡°Good stuff! How much is it? I¡¯ll transfer the payment to you.¡± ¡°Just a small matter. It¡¯s a gift for you.¡± Cheryl said leisurely. Alex was stunned and shook his head. ¡°This won¡¯t do. This ginseng at least cost a million dors, so I can¡¯t just take it without any payment.¡± Cheryl said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you gift me the invaluable Thirteen Acupunture of Hell? This is nothingpared to that. Moreover, I didn¡¯t spend much.¡± She tried to give a brief derivation to the ginseng. In fact, a man tried to sell the ginseng earlier when she was at a pharmacy. However, the store owner tried to trick the seller and insisted that the ginseng was not of premium species, hence, only offered to buy at ten thousand dors. However, she intercepted the transaction by offering a hundred thousand dors. ¡°Mainly, I¡¯d like to bribe you with this ginseng, so that you can teach me more about acupuncture in the future,¡± Cheryl said with a smile. ¡°Sure! I think it¡¯s quitete now. Let me treat you to a meal!¡± Both of them exited the pedestrian street and headed to the parking lot. Suddenly, three men with masks rushed toward Alex and Cheryl, and one of them tried to hit Cheryl¡¯s head with a wooden stick. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 77 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 77 ¡°Ahhh¨C¡± In a state of shock, Cheryl screamed and even forgot to avoid the blow. Alex immediately wrapped Cheryl in his arms and endured the attack with his back. It was almost instantly that he felt the heavy blow on his back. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three consecutive blows werended. Not only one man tried to attack them but the other two men did too, with all their might. Without any dy, they continued whacking him with wooden sticks. Cheryl finally regained her focus and realized that Alex was protecting her in his embrace, while he was the one to endure the attacks. Her heart raced and tears were gushing down from her eyes as she heard the loud clunks of the wooden sticks hitting on Alex¡¯s back. However, as she raised her head, she saw the calm and determined look in Alex¡¯s eyes. At that particr moment, the image of his face was rooted in her mind. Snap! One of the wooden sticks was broken. Afterward, someone said, ¡°Enough, don¡¯t kill him.¡± Under normal circumstances, Alex would have at least four to five pieces of broken bones by now. However, Alex suddenly let go of Cheryl. As if nothing had happened to him, he turned around and said, ¡°Are you done? It¡¯s my turn then.¡± As soon as he finished talking, he kicked in the abdomen of one of the men. In an instant, that man flew away and crashed into the wall. As his arm was instantly broken, he howled while slumping on the floor. ¡°Ahhhh! My arm! My arm is broken! Kill that bastard, bro!¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. The remaining two men were shocked as they did not expect Alex to be that powerful and capable. Not only was hepletely fine after sustaining those blows, to the extent that the thick wooden stick was broken, but he could also initiate a counter attack. However, both of them got furious as the leader picked up the wooden stick and tried to hit Alex¡¯s head hard. If such a blownded on a normal human¡¯s head, he would have either been paralysed or died. Cheryl screamed in shock. Alex blocked the iing blow with his arm. The wooden stick was broken with a loud snap. In that instance that the leader was stunned, Alex grabbed the wooden stick and whacked his leg, causing his calf bone to be instantly broken. Thest man tried to escape as he knew that they were going to be defeated. Unfortunately, it was toote. Alex grabbed his hair and smashed his head hard to the wall. That man fainted immediately. The battle ended within ten seconds. Anxiously, Cheryl checked on Alex¡¯s injuries. ¡°How are you? Are you hurt? Are your bones alright?¡± Alex answered, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s not easy for them to hurt me,¡± ¡°How is it possible? Even the thick wooden stick was broken.¡± ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m hurt?¡± With that, Alex removed the leader¡¯s mask. Dr. Cheryl screamed, ¡°Ahh! I know him!¡± Alex asked, ¡°Who is he?¡± Cheryl replied, ¡°A wanted criminal. The police officials have announced reward for the capture of this man and I saw it outside the hospital entrance yesterday. He¡¯s very cruel and has killed a few people!¡± The leader¡¯s face turned furious and tried to stab them as he pulled out a dagger. Alex immediately pped him across his face as he snorted. He was concussed by the imbued aura in the p. His head crashed into the wall and then he fainted on the ground Cheryl asked anxiously, ¡°What should we do now?¡± Alex said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, didn¡¯t I just handle them? Look at you, your makeup is messed up by your tears. Why are you panicking?¡± With that, he involuntarily raised his hand and wiped away her tears. Cheryl was stunned but her eyes were immediately filled with gentleness. Only then, Alex awkwardly withdrew his hand. As he stomped on the leader, waking him up, he shouted, ¡°Say it! Who sent you here?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 78 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 78 The leader had a firm attitude. He red at Alex and refused to utter a word. Alex snapped his finger. ¡°Okay then. Let me see how firm you are. If you canst a minute, I¡¯ll let you guys go.¡± As the leader¡¯s eyes were filled with bemusement, Alex pressed his finger on his brow. It was imbued with a strange aura. In the next second, the homicide leader grimaced in fear and sweat bullets. A terrifying roar came out from his throat, as if he had encountered the worst suffering and torment in his life. As Cheryl witnessed such a scene, she was dumbfounded and unable toprehend the situation. Not even a minute ¡ª it was just three seconds ¡ª the homicide leader fell to the ground with a thud as his will copsed. ¡°I¡¯ll say! Ahh! I¡¯ll say anything! I beg you, please make it stop! Please spare my life!¡± Cheryl¡¯s eyes widened in bewilderment. His response was too exaggerated. Was he putting on a joint performance with Alex? Once again, Alex pressed his finger on the leader¡¯s brow and he finally calmed down afterwards. Enervated, he sat on the ground and sweat heavily. His face turned white as a sheet as he shuddered in fear, even his eyes were fully filled with dreads. Without waiting for Alex to ask, he said on his own initiative, ¡°Yes. It¡¯s from Mr. Lark from the pharmacy. He requested us to snatch that hundred-year-old ginseng from her hand.¡± Cheryl¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s him?! That¡¯s too evil!¡± Alex said, ¡°There is no need to resort to violence just to snatch a ginseng. Looking at your offensive stance earlier, not only you wanted to snatch the ginseng, but you also wanted to kill. Tell me everything, otherwise I¡¯ll let you the power of the Soul Banishing Touch.¡± What he had just used was a simple trick in The Ultimate Book of Medicine, which was specialized in inflicting torture. However, such a trick must not be looked down. Based on the inherited information, once Soul Banishing Touch was cast on the opponent, he would suffer an unbearable pain as if his soul was shattered by countless bugs. Needless to say, normal people would not be able to endure it. Even if they were trained experts, most of them would notst a minute. Alex was not proficient in Soul Banishing Touch as he only used it for the first time. Initially, he thought the leader couldst for several dozens of seconds but he did not know that he could not evenst for three seconds. The leader hurriedly exined, ¡°Yes. We saw your girlfriend. She¡¯s too beautiful and we like her very much. So, we wanted to grab her into the car¡­¡± When Cheryl heard it, her face turned pale as she broke out in a cold sweat. If Alex did not save her just now and once she was dragged into the car by the murderers, she would have suffered a fate worse than death. Earlier, she just had a narrow escape! ¡°Scumbag!¡± Wham! Alex knocked out the homicide leader with a single stomp. Police siren sounded. At this moment, a police car arrived. It turned out that a passerby had just made a call to the police after seeing several masked men beating Alex with sticks. So, the police hurried to the scene. At a nce, the three of them were actually A-ss wanted criminals ¡ª it was unbelievable. The police officers were headed by a young female captain. The captain, who was in great joy, immediately ordered her men to cuff the three wanted criminals. After asking for the testimony and being shown the video evidence captured by Alex¡¯s phone, she could understand the case easily. The captain immediately took her men and hurried to the pharmacy. With the presence of both testimony and evidence, denial would be impossible. Mr. Lark from the pharmacy was ashen-faced, as though he had lost his parents. Never did he expect that he would be defeated by such a little woman like Cheryl. The dust settled. Cheryl let out a long sigh as she covered her chest with her hands. She said to Alex with a smile, ¡°You saved my life. What should I do? Should I devote myself to you?¡± After taking a peek at that beautiful curvy body of hers, he said while averting his gaze, ¡°Don¡¯t tease me. I¡¯m weak to teases.¡± A dash of flicker appeared in Cheryl¡¯s eyes. ¡°What is it? Your wife, Dorothy still doesn¡¯t let you touch her? What is she thinking about? She should either live well with you or get divorced as soon as possible and give the opportunity to someone else.¡± Alex blurted out, ¡°To you?¡± Cheryl half-jokingly said, ¡°That¡¯s fine. If you dare to get divorced, I¡¯ll dare to marry you.¡± With that, Alex could not refute her. Cheryl said with a light hum, ¡°Coward, don¡¯t tease me next time.¡± They had dinner for about two hours. After that, both of them waved goodbyes at the junction and returned to their home respectively. Not only Cheryl had given him a hundred-year-old ginseng, but also the medicine that she had dispensed. After returning to Maple Vi, Alex immediately prepared to boil the medicine for Brittany. The wild ginseng weighed about a hundred grams. Since Brittany did not need such an amount of ginseng, so Alex only cut it into one fifth for her and stored the remaining portions in case of unforeseeable needs. After all, the hundred-year-old ginseng was decent enough to save lives. The next day, at the headquarters of Assex Constructions. Many higher-ups from the Assex family had gathered together, including the two Assexes brothers, the juniors and the head of the family, Madame Joanne. Although Alex and Dorothy had downyed that the deal with Waylon Realty had been irrevocably sealed. However, as long as the contract had not been seen by them, the seed of doubt would be sowed. ¡°Grandma. If Dorothy has actually signed the contract, then do we really need to give 70% of the subsidiarypany shares in City South?¡± Emma said with vitriol as she was embarrassed that after getting the position of general manager in the subsidiarypany, she was removed within a day. Madame Joanne gritted her teeth as she heard Dorothy¡¯s name. ¡°She¡¯s dreaming!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Emma danced in joy. ¡°That¡¯s right. We can kick out Dorothy as soon as we get hold of the contract.¡± Soon after, Dorothy came and Alex followed behind her. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 79 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 79 ¡°Alex, do you think we¡¯ll acquire the subsidiarypany shares in City South without a hitch?¡± Dorothy¡¯s heart was filled with daunting anticipation. While patting on the briefcase, which he carried with him, Alex said, ¡°Rest assured, I promise.¡± The contract that had been signed by Waylon Realty earlier was ced inside the briefcase. Dorothy grinned from ear to ear as her beautiful eyes opened a sliver. In that instant, Alex was a little stunned. After all, it had been a very long time since Dorothy let out such a joyfulughter in front of him. He suddenly drew closer. After reaching out to sp her hand, he said, ¡°Dorothy, thank you for all your support during this period of time. From now on, I won¡¯t let you bear such a heavy burden by yourself. I¡¯ll help you to share the burden so that you don¡¯t have to suffer anymore.¡± As Dorothy felt the sincerity in his grip, a gush of sorrow filled her and she wanted to cry. ¡°It¡¯s fine, as long as you know that.¡± After a pause, she said with a smile, ¡°After acquiring the equity contract of the subsidiarypany in City South, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal, with an add-on reward of a hundred thousand dors.¡± Speaking of a hundred thousand dors, Alex recalled that the hospital had returned about ny thousand dors to him when Brittany was discharged from the hospital. So, he said, ¡°I don¡¯t need the money. Last time, I didn¡¯t use the money that you gave for my mom¡¯s treatment at all. Furthermore, I¡¯m not short of money.¡± ¡°They are separate matters, so let¡¯s not confuse them with each other. This is your reward for this time.¡± Alex did not utter another word but onlyughed. He still had about thirty million dors in his bank ount. However, Brittany needed to make a comeback in their family business and they would definitely spend arge sum of money at the early phase. Therefore, he did not tell Dorothy about it. As for the grievances in the Rockefeller family, He did not n to tell her either so that she could stop worrying unnecessarily. Soon after, they entered Assex Constructions. As they saw numerous descendants of the Assex family had congregated inside the chairperson¡¯s office, with Madame Joanne sitting proudly on the ck leather sofa, both of them could not help getting a misleading impression that they had just entered a court trial. It was suffocating by just being suppressed by the number of those people. Alex calmly rested his hand at the back of Dorothy¡¯s waist. Benny took the lead and said, ¡°Did you get the contract?¡± Dorothy nodded as she said, ¡±Yes, we have it.¡± Benny immediately said, ¡°Show it to me.¡± As Alex pped on the briefcase, he said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± ¡°Hurry and take it out,¡± Emma said as she red at him. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± Alex said as he dug his ear, ¡°Where is the equity transfer contract for the subsidiary company in City South? We hade to an agreement yesterday that we¡¯ll hand over the contract and you¡¯ll hand over yours at the same time. Fair and square.¡± Benny chided, ¡°Alex Rockefeller, you¡¯re just an abandoned child of the Rockefellers and a kept man who lives off Dorothy. Do you think it¡¯s your turn to yell here? Get out of here.¡± Alex said with his eyes squinted, ¡°The contract is with me, do you really want me to get out? Don¡¯t me me when the contract is ger. Mr. Carter did say that this is the one and only contract. If you lose it, you¡¯ll never get it again.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Alex pursed his lips as he was toozy to even speak to him. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Old Lady Assex said, ¡°Exchange the contracts now.¡± Benny took out the prepared contract and ced it on the table. Alex also took out his contract and put it on the table. The exchange urred. Benny immediately took the contract to inspect the contract seal. After verifying that the seal was of Waylon Realty, he said with a sigh, ¡°It¡¯s real.¡± Finally, Madame Joanne felt relief and said, ¡°Keep it properly.¡± And immediately, Emma burst intoughter. Dorothy said with a frown, ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Emma said, ¡°I¡¯m justughing someone avaricious who overrates her own abilities.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 80 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 80 Benny also let out augh. ¡°Dorothy, do you really think that Assex Constructions will transfer 70% of the subsidiarypany shares in City South to you? You¡¯re too naive. Keep on dreaming.¡± ¡°What?¡± Dorothy eximed in surprise, ¡°This contract is fake?¡± Madame Joanne cackled like a hen. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s fake. The Assex family doesn¡¯t need ungrateful people like you. Dorothy, you¡¯re overambitious. How dare you try to dominate the subsidiarypany in City South? What qualification do you have? Who gave you the courage to do so? This trash who¡¯s standing beside you? From now on, your family line is no longer part of the Assexes. You are expelled from the Assexes.¡± ¡°What? Grandma, how could you break your promise?¡± Dorothy was on the verge of tears. Madame Joanne said, ¡°Why should I keep my promise when dealing with shameless and despicable people like you? You¡¯re unworthy of being a member of the Assexs.¡± Emma chided, ¡°We don¡¯t wee you both, so you can get out of here now. Otherwise, I¡¯ll call the security guard to have you both removed.¡± The rest of the Assexes proudly chortled, with a lofty look on their faces. Dorothy and Alex were detested by them, as if they were some low-lives. p! p! p! At this moment, thunderous ps were heard. The Assexes¡¯ gaze turned toward the direction of the sound. Unexpectedly, it was that trashy Alex who pped his hands whileughing. They were dumbfounded and thought Alex had gone mad due to irritation. ¡°What¡¯s with those handps andughters? Are you crazy?¡± said a junior from the Assexes. ¡°I think he has gone crazy, after waking from his dream and receiving such a blow,¡± said Emma as her face was full of mockery. Alex chuckled. ¡°Impressive. That¡¯s really a splendid performance. I didn¡¯t expect you people would trick us with a fake contract¡­ But, do you think you¡¯re only the ones who know such a trick?¡± With that, the rest of the Assexes were stunned. Emma also donned a surprised look. Emma asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Alex said indifferently, ¡°Just as its literal meaning.¡± As Madame Joanne was startled by his words, she hurriedly shouted, ¡°Hurry, hurry. Look at the contents of the contract.¡± Benny immediately opened up the contract and reviewed the contents meticulously, especially the several important terms and conditions. As he looked at the contents, he fell into despair and said with hastened breaths, ¡°It¡¯s wrong. It¡¯s wrong. These aren¡¯t the terms that we have agreed in the contract. The prices have changed, hence, if ording to these prices Assex Constructions will lose everything and face bankruptcy.¡± ¡°Ahh!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. Madame Joanne made a loud shriek as she wobbled and fell to the ground. In the midst of chaos, the rest of the Assexs pushed against each other and shouted as they hurriedly helped her to get up. It had finally calmed down after a while. Madame Joanne sat on the sofa with her eyes widened in anger. ¡°You¡­ You immoral couple.¡± Alex said with a sardonicugh, ¡°If you can fool us with a fake contract, can¡¯t we do the same too? Old Lady, do you think everyone else in this world is a fool? The real contract is here.¡± Then, he took out another contract from the briefcase. He even opened every page on the contract so that they could see the terms and conditions clearly. Benny shouted, ¡°Yes. It¡¯s real. It¡¯s the real contract.¡± Emma wanted to catch him off guard and snatch away the contract. However, Alex instantly gave her a spank. ¡°Now I¡¯ve changed my mind. I don¡¯t want the 70% subsidiary company shares in City South, but 100%. I¡¯ll give you fifteen minutes to prepare the new contract. If I don¡¯t see the contract after fifteen minutes, I¡¯ll tear this contract into pieces and don¡¯t you ever think about doing business with Waylon Realty in the future.¡± While covering her face with hands in disbelief, Emma said, ¡°Who do you think you are? What qualification do you have to speak such a thing? Is Waylon Realty owned by your family? Since Waylon Realty has willingly signed this contract, even if you tear the contract now, we¡¯ll just get a new one.¡± Alex snorted. ¡°You can try and do so.¡± Benny said, ¡°Dorothy, after all the blood of the Assex family flows inside your body. How could you just stand there and watch this outsider swaggering around?¡± Dorothy was on the verge of tears as she shook her head. ¡°He¡¯s not an outsider but my husband. You people don¡¯t even treat me as a member of the Assexes, and now you even want to expel my family line. The subsidiarypany in City South was established by myself from scratch. Even if I have borrowed the resources from Assex Constructions, I¡¯ll pay back the sum by tenfold or hundredfold within these few years. My request is not muchpared to the 10% of Assex Constructions¡¯ shares. ¡°Furthermore, I didn¡¯t sign the contract, but my husband did.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 81 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 81 ¡°What? This loser signed it?¡± ¡°How could he, of all people, have such power?¡± ¡°How could he sign this contract when no one else could?¡± The Assexes couldn¡¯t believe what they were hearing. Alex checked the time and said, ¡°Five minutes have passed. You still have ten minutes¡­ Also, I could sign this and you can¡¯t because Charles Carter owes me a favor.¡± Emma immediately started yelling. ¡°There¡¯s no way! Stop trying to bluff your way out of this! Who do you think you are anyway? You¡¯re a shame to the Rockefellers. Your parents betrayed our country, so you¡¯re no better than a street rat. If you haven¡¯t been sucking up to Dorothy, your mom would¡¯ve died ages ago! And you would have starved to death too. So, who do you think you are, huh? As if Charles Carter could ever owe you a favor. You¡¯re overestimating your worth¡­¡± With a cold gaze, Alex lunged towards Emma and grabbed her by the hair. He then smashed her head onto the table. Emma¡¯s front teeth were knocked out and her nose started bleeding profusely. ¡°No one is ever allowed to insult my parents. I will investigate what happened to them thoroughly. Emma Assex, if you dare insult them again, I¡¯ll make sure your life is a living hell,¡± Alex said with a cold gaze that sent a chill down anyone¡¯s spine. No one dared to approach him. Even Emma¡¯s father, Anderson, didn¡¯t dare to step in for his daughter. Alex said coldly, ¡°Eight more minutes.¡± Benny spoke up. ¡°I have Mr. Carter¡¯s number, I¡¯ll give him a call to confirm this.¡± The call went through immediately. After just a brief moment of conversation, Charles hung up. The olddy asked in panic, ¡°What did Mr. Carter say?¡± Benny nced quickly in Alex¡¯s direction and said, ¡°He¡¯s not lying. Carter said that this was the only contract avable. If it were to be destroyed, there wouldn¡¯t be a second one. Someone from Stoneworks is with him right now.¡± Stoneworks was the second-best building and furnishingpany in California. They were the Assexes¡¯s biggestpetitor. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. If the Assexes were to lose this contract, Stoneworks would be the biggest furnishingpany in California and crush the Assexes. It was clear that Charles had only signed this contract because of Alex. ¡°Five more minutes!¡± Alex reminded them. The olddy shot him a dirty re and mmed the table. ¡°Hand him the contract.¡± Alex smiled and said, ¡°Now that¡¯s more I like it. Everyone can earn money in peace and build a sessful business in California. You can go make your mad cash while we just run our small little business. Let¡¯s not cause anymore trouble, alright?¡± The Assexex¡¯s contract was immediately amended and printed out. Everything was set after the Assexes signed it. After Alex thoroughly confirmed that the Assexex¡¯s contract was true and fair, he threw the real Carter¡¯s contract to Benny. The olddy closed her eyes with knitted eyebrows as she fell deep in thought. As Alex was about to leave with Dorothy in hand, the olddy opened her eyes. ¡°Hold on.¡± The two turned around to look at her. The olddy¡¯s demeanor was different. Her cold re disappearedpletely and her face was stered with a sweet smile instead. ¡°Dorothy, I have to give it to you for saving ourpany. You¡¯re right, our branch in City South was built up with your blood, sweat, and tears. Grandma went over the line just now. We¡¯re a family, both you and Beatrice are still my dear little granddaughters. Henry has passed for quite some time too. So if you have any problems, you can alwayse to me.¡± Her tone was extremely calm, as if she couldn¡¯t even hear Emma¡¯s painful cries. Dorothy froze, but she still nodded and said, ¡°Thanks, Grandma.¡± Alex and Dorothy then rushed back to their branch in City South. Emma was covering her nose, hoping to stop the bleeding. Angered, she asked, ¡°Grandma, why didn¡¯t you kick them out of the Assex family? Did you forget how she treated you? That Rockefeller bastard doesn¡¯t respect you in the slightest too. They just took the branch from City South by force!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 82 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 82 The olddy huffed. ¡°You idiot. Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Benny exined. ¡°The CEO of Waylon Realty, Mr. Carter actually lent a hand to Alex just to help Dorothy get the branch from City South. This means that they are quite close. If it was Dorothy who signed it, she might¡¯ve just used her body to persuade him. But if Alex did it, then it could have been for a different reason. It could be that William Rockefeller had worked with Charles Carter when he was still alive. If we use their rtionship, the Assex family would be better able to work with Waylon Realty.¡± Meanwhile, Dorothy had just gotten into their car. ¡°Grandma¡¯s sudden change in attitude was most likely due to your rtionship with Mr. Carter. They¡¯ll want to work with Mr. Carter through you as a way to improve their partnership. Alex huffed. ¡°She can dream on. Now that you have full control over the branch in City South, you¡¯ll be able to expand this business to its full potential¡­ I know it¡¯s best to not cut ties with them immediately, since we can still take advantage of their tforms to grow the business first. Who wouldn¡¯t take this opportunity anyway? However, by the time that they realize they won¡¯t be able to get anything out of me, that old hag will immediately switch up her attitude again and not let you reap any benefits from their side.¡± Dorothy nodded in agreement. Alex had just helped Zoey by coincidence. Once he used up his favor, then the Carters would no longer see the need to help him anymore. ¡°Oh right, how did you know to prepare two different contracts? You didn¡¯t even tell me,¡± Dorothy asked. ¡°I know that old hag all too well. It was just precautionary measures. I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d actually have to use it, to be honest.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just so amazing!¡± Dorothy smiled. ¡°Do I get a reward then?¡± ¡°What would you like?¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Can¡­ can you give me a kiss?¡± Dorothy¡¯s eyes widened as she stared at him in surprise when she heard his words. Alex looked at her and smiled sadly. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Suddenly, Dorothy shifted to her side and pecked him on the cheek gently. Alex was overjoyed. He thought, ¡®This is great! I¡¯m one step closer to the fourth base!¡¯ In just a few minutes, the two arrived at the branch in City South. As soon as she became the general manager, Emma had ordered the staff to deny Dorothy ess to thepany yesterday. She even ordered the removal of Dorothy¡¯s work tag and keycard. Thus, Dorothy was prevented from entering by security. She couldn¡¯t get in at all. The employees had not been notified that Dorothy had regained ownership of thepany. ¡°Emma Assex went too far! What do we do now?¡± Dorothy huffed in anger. ¡°Kiss me one more time and I¡¯ll help you force your way in!¡± Alex smirked. ¡°Ugh, just don¡¯t. I¡¯m not in the mood for this.¡± Alex was just joking. He grabbed her by the hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you have me. Even if the sky comes crashing down, I¡¯ll be the shield to protect you.¡± Alex then dragged Dorothy into thepany, preparing to barge in by force. Just then, three security guards rushed over to stop them. ¡°Do you really want to stop us? I already told you that my wife is your new boss.¡± The three security guards were still blocking their way, refusing to let them pass. Why would they do this? This was all because Emma had given them a pay raise. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 83 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 83 Alex¡¯s eyes suddenly emitted a murderous re. He pulled Dorothy behind him, shielding her from the men. ¡°Be careful!¡± Dorothy was nervous and worried. She had no idea that Alex was no longer as weak as before. These security guards were nowhere nearly as powerful as he was. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. In just a bat of an eye, the guards were kicked in the guts. They fell to the ground harshly and weren¡¯t able to get back up at all. ¡°All three of you are fired!¡± Alex said as he walked into thepany with Dorothy in hand. Many of the employees who were sitting near the windows witnessed this incident. They were shocked and their mouths were agape. News quickly spread throughout the wholepany: ¡°Oh my god look! Ms. Assex is back! She even brought a guy along with her and he just beat up the security guards!¡± ¡°Wait, which Assex?¡± ¡°These are the photos, it¡¯s our previous general manager, Dorothy Assex.¡± ¡°What? Did she bring someone along to get her position back? I would too, to be honest.¡± ¡°Why would you even dare to say that?¡± Shermaine had heard the news from around thepany as well. She rushed to the window to see it for herself. However, Dorothy and Alex had already entered the building. Something didn¡¯t sit right with her and her heart started pounding nervously. She remembered that Emma had note to work since yesterday evening. She hadn¡¯t received any calls from Emma as well. She was feeling extremely uneasy. She was especially worried since she had arge loan to repay and she needed to support her entire family as well. Cold sweat trickled down Shermaine¡¯s forehead. She called Emma repeatedly. However, minutes passed and Emma still hadn¡¯t answered any of her calls. Beep, beep, beep¡­ ¡°Pick up, oh god, please pick up¡­¡± Shermaine murmured. Just then, Dorothy arrived at the secretary¡¯s office with a chilling expression. ¡°Are you trying to call Emma?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Shermaine was frightened. Her mouth opened wide in shock. ¡°There¡¯s no use doing that. Even if she did pick up, she wouldn¡¯te to save you.¡± ¡°Pack your things and get your remaining sry from the finance department,¡± Dorothy said coldly. She was disappointed in Shermaine. After all, she had worked with this woman for years. Shermaine, however, tried to cling on to herst fragment of hope. ¡°Why should I? You¡¯re no longer the general manager of thispany. You don¡¯t have the power to fire me.¡± Shermaine¡¯s loud protests had attracted quite a few employees. Even the vice president of the company and a few managers came rushing over. Frankly, everyone still wanted to work with Dorothy. Many employees have been working with Dorothy since thepany started. The trust they had in her was impable. However, this was just a mere branch in City South. They had to obey the Assex family¡¯s every order. Someone spoke up, asking Dorothy to stop causing a scene. They just didn¡¯t want Dorothy to make things worse for herself. Alex decided to stay silent this whole while. He stood aside and got himself a cup of tea. ¡°I don¡¯t have the power to?¡± Dorothy scoffed, staring down at Shermaine. ¡°Well, you are right about one thing. I¡¯m in fact, no longer the general manager of thepany. That¡¯s because I¡¯m the CEO of this company from now on. This is the contract for the transfer of shares. Are you convinced now, Shermaine Ford?¡± Everyone stared in disbelief when Dorothy pulled out the contract. It was unbelievable that Emma had been kicked out, after just securing her position as president. Oh, how the tables have turned. Dorothy had full control over thepany and none of the Assexes could interfere with thepany¡¯s decisions anymore. Everyone cheered and pped as they weed Dorothy back to thepany. When Shermaine realized that Dorothy was telling the truth, her heart dropped. Knowing that she would be fired, she dropped to her knees and clung to Dorothy¡¯s legs. ¡°Ms. Assex, please spare me! I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been so greedy; I was blinded by money. Please beat me up instead. Don¡¯t fire me! I have loans to pay for both an apartment and a car. I have to support my family too! I can¡¯t lose this job! ¡°Ms. Assex, I swear I¡¯ll be good, I¡¯ll be your loyalpdog!¡± Dorothy took a step back and kicked her away. ¡°I will not let the same dog bite me a second time. Pack your things and get out!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 84 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 84 Shermaine sobbed uncontrobly. However, Dorothy didn¡¯t even want to look at her. ¡°Inform all the higher-ups that we¡¯re going to have a meeting in the first meeting room.¡± The news caused an uproar within thepany. Numerous employees cheered loudly as well. Everyone didn¡¯t dare go against Emma back then because they didn¡¯t want any trouble. However, despite their cowardice, they still sided with Dorothy in spirit. Alex, on the other hand, didn¡¯t have anything to do at the time. He looked at Shermaine who was extremely upset and still sobbing uncontrobly. Alex shook his head lightly and walked off. Just then, a luxurious car arrived in front of thepany. A man and a woman got out of the car. The man was in a smart suit looking dashing, and the woman was Beatrice Assex. Why were they here? To propose. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. The security guards at the entrance of the building received the news of Dorothy regaining her position in thepany. Hence, as Dorothy¡¯s sister, Beatrice could enter the building and make preparations for a proposal. The security guards of thepany were curious by the appearance of Dorothy¡¯s sister. They rushed up to Beatrice and asked, ¡°Lady Beatrice, who are you proposing to?¡± However, Beatrice smirked and replied, ¡°You¡¯ll see.¡± With the help of the guards, the preparations wereplete. There were big bouquets of flowers and balloons of various colors surrounding a white luxurious car. Two drones flew up mid-air with the edges of a pink banner hung onto them. A line of words was written on the banner. The guards were shocked. The line of words was¡­ ¡°Marry me, Dorothy! I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you!¡± ¡®Dorothy, Dorothy Assex. Isn¡¯t that the name of the CEO of ourpany?¡¯ ¡®Isn¡¯t our CEO married?¡¯ Everyone in thepany witnessed the scene. Initially, it didn¡¯t cause such a hugemotion. They were just taking guesses on who this rich young man had his eyes on to propose so extravagantly. However, once the banner was revealed, everyone had their mouths wide open. Dorothy had been with Alex even before their marriage. Dorothy even resorted to death threats just so that she could marry Alex when the Rockefeller incident happened and rumors started spreading. That showed just how true their love was¡­ Why would anyone try to ruin such a beautiful rtionship? What¡¯s worse was that Dorothy¡¯s sister was helping this guy out as well. Rumors started spreading in the inofficialpany group chat as everyone seemed to have their opinions on this. Someone with the name ¡®Nightmare Husband¡¯ had spread the news¡­ [After that incident, Ms. Assex¡¯s husband had be a total loser. He worked as a ve in the Assex mansion. I heard he couldn¡¯t even step foot into Ms. Assex¡¯s bedroom!] [Ms. Assex probably didn¡¯t have any attraction towards that Alex guy. They may be married but that¡¯s probably just in name.] [Now that Ms. Assex¡¯s sister has lent this guy a hand, wouldn¡¯t that mean that this is the real deal? Alex is just helpless at this point. I think this guy had already asked for blessings from the Assexes! This proposal is just in courtesy. Ms. Assex will totally ept the proposal!] With this, everyone believed that this was all true. Why would Beatrice be doing this anyway? Meanwhile, Alex was drinking tea while reading the newspaper in the CEO¡¯s office. He paced around the room and walked towards the window. When he saw the proposal scene, his expression darkened. ¡°Who the f*ck is this? ¡°Gosh, it¡¯s such a bother to have a gorgeous wife. I always have to chase these pests away. ¡°And you, Beatrice. You seem like you¡¯re asking for a beating.¡± He put down his cup and turned around to go downstairs. ¡°Alex?¡± Suddenly, a female voice called out to him. He turned his head and realized that it was a woman in a dark grey uniform. She was in her mid- twenties and was wearing a pair of ck sses. She seemed well-developed with a curvy body. ¡°Maya?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 85 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 85 The woman was Maya Howards, Alex¡¯s university senior. She was a year older than him and one of the most popr girls in her year as well. She had both brains and brawns, literally a jewel at school. She was the student council president in her third year until she graduated; sessfully organized multiple major school events; a social butterfly; and had a strong spirit. She was praised by everyone at school as a truly amazing woman. After university, Alex had asked her to help Dorothy build up thispany, the branch in City South. And she did, building it to what it was now. Maya was Dorothy¡¯s best assistant. However, Maya wasn¡¯t at thepany often. She would usually be leading a team to organize events in other areas. Alex had not expected to bump into her today. ¡°Alex, what happened between you and Dorothy? ¡°Is your rtionship really in shambles? Why would your wife¡¯s sister be helping your rival to propose to your wife?¡± Alex looked cold. ¡°She has a death wish.¡± Maya nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right. If I were in your shoes, I would p her across the face right there and then.¡± Alex smiled. ¡°What do you think I¡¯m doing? Don¡¯t stop me, alright?¡± ¡°Sure, sure. You don¡¯t have to act all tough in front of me. It really is unfortunate that you have to deal with this family of three. If you really can¡¯t bear it anymore, you could just divorce Dorothy, you know? I don¡¯t want to see you upset.¡± Maya said as she looked at him with sympathy. But she also looked as if she was hiding something from him. Alex¡¯s attention was at the elevator door so he did not notice. He nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Maya, I¡¯m no longer a loser anymore. I have been reborn.¡± Maya¡¯s eyes lit up under her sses as she noticed that he did seem different today. ¡°Thanks, Maya!¡± Alex suddenly said. He was truly grateful toward her. Maya Howards was one of the very few people who still remained friends with him all this while. Even after his father¡¯s death and him getting kicked out of his family. She had onlye to work in this company because Alex had asked her to. She had many better options elsewhere than at thispany. So why else would she be working here? Maya then insisted. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t go down there. Everyone just wants tough at you. From what I heard, that Felix Shepherd guy helped ourpany sign quite a few projects during the Block City exhibition. If your wife has any interest in him, you¡¯d have to bear this shame in front of everyone!¡± Felix Shepherd? Alex frowned as soon as he heard this name. This guy had tried chasing after Dorothy in the past. He was the son of the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. Ugh¡­ This was the same guy who lost a diamond ring at the Urasawa Restaurant. Moreover, both ire and Beatrice were fond of him. ire had even wanted him to be her son- inw for the longest time. Since he hadn¡¯t appeared in quite a while, Alex thought that he had given up. He didn¡¯t expect Felix to pop up out of nowhere as well. Alex then texted Lord Lex. ¡°Edgar Shepherd¡¯s son is proposing to my wife in front of the branch of Assex Constructions in City South. Have hime by here to watch out for his son.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. With a gentle chime, they arrived at the ground floor. Alex immediately stepped out of the elevator. Maya caught up to Alex despite being in high heels. ¡°Why are you trying to humiliate yourself? Don¡¯t you know how harsh Beatrice can be with words?¡± However, Alex stayed silent though his eyes were cold and determined. Beatrice was getting cocky outside. ¡°Felix, we¡¯d be able to humiliate Alex Rockefeller publicly with this. He¡¯ll be theughing stock of this wholepany!¡± Beatrice was still being petty about having to call Alex ¡®daddy¡¯ the other day. That¡¯s why she helped Felix n this whole fiasco when he reached out to her, just so that he could propose to her sister in front of thepany. Felix was overjoyed when Beatrice epted him as her brother-inw. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry sis. When I do be your brother-inw, I¡¯ll be sure to pay the favor back. I¡¯ll even give you a BMW M8.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 86 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 86 Beatrice was overwhelmed. ¡°Thanks Felix!¡± Felix was staring at the tall building, smiling proudly. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. However, little did he know that his father was already rushing towards them, despite having a cast on one of his legs. In the driver¡¯s seat was his bodyguard, Jay Sanders. Jay was around his thirties and is quite skilled in fighting as he used to be the first runner-up in the national kickboxingpetition. He was extremely confused as to why Edgar felt the need to rush to apologize to someone even with his leg broken. He asked, ¡°Mr. Shepherd, you¡¯re badly injured. Even if you did want to apologize, couldn¡¯t you have waited until your wound healed? Your health is important.¡± Edgar was panicking. ¡°What would you know? That bastard Felix is trying to dig our graves! He¡¯s proposing to the wife of Lord Rockefeller. Now that Lord Lex Gunther wants me there, how could I not rush?¡± Upon hearing this, Jay fell speechless and sped up the car. At the same time, Alex and Maya had reached the ground floor. Some employees were shocked to see Alex. But they were equally as curious. Someone texted the group chat. [Alex is there too. He seems like he¡¯s walking out of the building. Do you think they¡¯re going to fight?] Many people pressed themselves against the window, hoping to see the incident go down. Beatrice looked up at the crowded windowsills, acting smug about this whole fiasco. She thought, ¡®Hmph, you loser, I¡¯ll have you humiliated in public and you¡¯ll be aughing stock forever. I¡¯ll have everyone call you the Ultimate Cuckold!¡± Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she realized that a man and a woman walked out of the entrance. With a closer look, she asked, ¡°Holy sh*t, what is the Ultimate Cuck doing here?¡± Thinking back to how violent Alex was with Emma and Anderson, Beatrice couldn¡¯t help but shudder. However, with Felix by her side, she was filled with courage and arrogance again. ¡°Felix, this loser actually showed up. If he were to hit me, you¡¯d protect me, right?¡± Beatrice said as she turned to Felix. ¡°Absolutely.¡± Alex stared at the luxurious car that was in the middle of all of the flowers. He was slightly surprised to see that it was yet another BMW M8. However, noticing both Felix¡¯s and Beatrice¡¯s smug smirks on their faces, Alex could feel his blood boiling. Alex approached them slowly and coldly. The crowd upstairs watched in anticipation as their hearts pounded with excitement. ¡°He¡¯s going for it. Alex is going for it!¡± ¡°They¡¯re actually going to fight. I wonder who will win?¡± ¡°One was here to take Ms. Assex¡¯s hand in marriage whereas the other is trying to protect her at all costs. This would be interesting!¡± Someone chimed in and said, ¡°That might not be right. Alex hadn¡¯t done anything for the past six months. I heard he couldn¡¯t even stand up for himself back when he was bullied by his wife¡¯s mother and sister. How will he have the courage to fight?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone sighed. Alex used to be the best of the best, but with that incident, he could never go back to that life anymore. 30m, 20m, 15m¡­ Everyone watched as the two narrowed their distance. Alex suddenly stopped and looked at the entrance. No one had any idea what he was up to. Someone pounded their chest and said, ¡°Oh god, this Alex guy really is hopeless. I thought he¡¯s manned up for once and will beat up this guy for wanting to steal his wife! Now that he chickened out midway, he really is a loser. He¡¯s just a loser!¡± Many of the female employees¡¯ faces were filled with disappointment and disdain. However, a ck Bentley appeared at the entrance. As the car slowed down, Edgar noticed Alex immediately. Before Jay could help him down the car, he pushed the door open and ran. With a loud thud, he kneeled before Alex. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I was wrong!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 87 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 87 Why would Edgar drop to his knees in public, throwing his dignity out like this? It was because he was terrified. He knew what Lord Lex Gunther was capable of doing. After all, Lord Lex Gunther¡¯s status and power were much higher than that of Pegasus International. Now that his goddaughter was being harassed, Edgar was definitely dead meat. Moreover, his family had been broken up and all his sessfulpanies had been ruined, taken over by others. Edgar was worried that he could be next. After kneeling down, he pped himself hard numerous times and didn¡¯t even look at his son. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. He didn¡¯t even go easy on himself as his face was swollen from merely eight ps. Everyone in the company was shocked, including Maya. ¡®What is happening?¡¯ Those with sharp eyes noticed that Edgar¡¯s ride was a Bentley worth 500 thousand dors. They couldn¡¯t help but gawk at it. Beatrice was stunned as well. However, she snapped herself back to reality and red at Alex. ¡°Hey, you loser, stop it! Do you think you¡¯d seem more powerful with this paid actor?¡± She turned to Felix. ¡°Felix, this guy must have been hired by this loser. Isn¡¯t he childish?¡± Beatrice¡¯s words snapped Felix back to reality as well. He froze upon Edgar¡¯s appearance. The fact that Edgar was down on his knees and pping himself had shocked Felix to his core. ¡®That is my father!¡¯ He thought. Felix immediately rushed towards Edgar to help him up. ¡°Dad, what are you doing?! Why are you doing this? Have you gone mental?!¡± Beatrice took a step back. She couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing. Edgar pped Felix across the face. His actions worsened the condition of his broken leg, but he didn¡¯t care about that at all. He scolded loudly. ¡°You bastard, how dare you try to woo Master Alex¡¯s wife? Do you have a death wish? Kneel down and grovel before Mr. Rockefeller.¡± Beatrice¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Alex then shot her a cold re. Beatrice was frightened and ran off to a distance. ¡°Ah!¡± Felix couldn¡¯t bring himself to grovel before Alex. The fact that he was pped was infuriating enough. ¡°Dad, are you insane?! Are you mistaken? This guy is just the Assexes¡¯s useless son-inw. He was even kicked out by his own family! Why do I have to kneel for him? Who is he anyway? I can defeat him in a blink of an eye!¡± Edgar was extremely furious, he screamed, ¡°Jay, pin him down and p him!¡± Jay came forward and grabbed Felix. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, young lord.¡± Felix didn¡¯t have a chance against Jay. He was pinned to the ground and pped across the face several times. Jay didn¡¯t dare go easy on Felix in front of Alex as Felix started bleeding profusely out of his mouth. Both Maya and Beatrice froze at the sight of this. The curious employees turned dead silent from where they stood watching. No one had expected it to end up like this. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 88 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 88 ¡°I remember now. This middle-aged guy is the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. The one proposing is Felix Shepherd who¡¯s been harassing Lady Dorothy for quite a while. Well, isn¡¯t this great? Felix¡¯s father is groveling before Alex.¡± ¡°How could Alex have the CEO of Pegasus International kneel for him?¡± This was a mystery everyone was itching to unravel. Edgar immediately ordered Jay to hand him the check they had prepared earlier. Edgar handed it to Alex with the utmost respect and said, ¡°Master Alex, this is twenty million dors. Please ept it! It¡¯s just a little gift. I won¡¯t get up until you ept this!¡± Maya was shocked once again, watching Alex puzzledly. Alex stared at the check emotionlessly. Suddenly, Alex¡¯s phone started ringing. It was a call from Lex Gunther. Alex took a nce in Edgar¡¯s direction and picked up the phone calmly. ¡°Hey, Lord Lex!¡± Upon hearing the name, cold sweat trickled down Edgar¡¯s forehead. He raised the check higher, his face filled with despair. Lex said, ¡°Master Alex, is Edgar Shepherd from Pegasus International there with you now?¡± With a slight smile, Alex stared at Edgar and said, ¡°Ah, Edgar Shepherd from Pegasus International¡­¡± Color drained from Edgar¡¯s face, his whole body trembled as if he was about to be executed. Alex calmly replied, ¡°He¡¯s kneeling before me now, begging for forgiveness. But¡­¡± He took the check from Edgar¡¯s hands and shoved it into his pocket. ¡°But I¡¯m fairly acquainted with his son, so I¡¯ll just let them off easy this time.¡± Edgar took a deep sigh of relief after hearing Alex¡¯s words. He felt as if he had been entirely drenched in sweat. Felix had finally understood their situation as well. The one who called Alex was Lord Lex Gunther, the most powerful man in the underground world of California. He felt as if his reality was being crushed. He didn¡¯t expect this loser to have any connections with Lord Lex. Felix feared for his life. ¡°Ah, well then, that¡¯s great,¡± Lex said. ¡°I was wondering if you¡¯re free this evening, Master Alex? I¡­ well, I¡¯d like to ask for a favor.¡± ¡°Oh? What favor?¡± ¡°Remember that demon fromst time? The person who put a curse on me is quite a handful. Besides, my goddaughter, Waltz has been hurt by that spirit too. I¡¯d like to ask you to check up on her, Master Alex.¡± ¡°Waltz is hurt?¡± Alex was briefly reminded of Waltz¡¯s beautiful figure in that red dress being pinned down by him. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there. Hell¡¯s Angels, right?¡± ¡°Yes, exactly. I¡¯ll have someone pick you up, if you¡¯d like.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, I¡¯ll drive over myself.¡± As Alex was having a light conversation with Lex, Edgar could feel his world copsing. Alex was much closer to Lord Lex than he expected. After hanging up, Alex turned to Edgar and said, ¡°Get up then!¡± He turned to the white BMW M8. ¡°I¡¯ll be taking this too, you guys may leave now!¡± ¡°Oh, and keep your mouths sealed tight. Don¡¯t spread any rumors. I don¡¯t want to reveal my identity, especially not to the Assexes.¡± He didn¡¯t want Dorothy to know his rtionship with Lex and worry. Lord Lex was known to be a brute, so not many people could ept that man¡¯s methods. Edgar stared at Alex with mixed emotions, yet he still nodded. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. After handing the keys of the M8 to Alex, the Shepherds crawled back into the Bentley and rushed off. Alex turned towards Beatrice with a cold and stern expression. Beatrice was watching them from a distance, so she had no idea what they talked about. However, with Alex¡¯s murderous re, she ran into the building screaming. Just then, she bumped into her sister, Dorothy. ¡°Sis, help! Alex is trying to kill me!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 89 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 89 Dorothy stared at her sister coldly. She had witnessed everything back in the meeting room. Beatrice had brought Felix to herpany to propose to Dorothy in public. Not only did it hurt and insult Alex, but it extremely humiliated Dorothy as well. How would she appear in public now? Dorothy looked up and saw Alex walking in. ¡°I won¡¯t be interfering with this. She¡¯s all yours.¡± Alex¡¯s deadly cold gazended on Beatrice. ¡°Sis, you¡¯re my sister! How could you do this to me?¡± Without hesitation, Alex pped her hard across the face, causing one of her cheeks to swell up. Dorothy froze. However, she immediately averted her gaze¡ªshe decided to not look at Beatrice. Beatrice looked like she was about to cry as her mouth fell open. Merciless, Alex pped her on the other cheek. Beatrice¡¯s eyes were filled with fear and her body started to tremble. This version of Alex was unfamiliar to her; she was terrified of him. This was no longer the useless loser who ved away in their house. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember? I said that if you don¡¯t see me as your brother-inw, I will not hesitate to p you! ¡°Since you have no moral conscience, I¡¯ll just have to teach you some,¡± Alex said as he lifted his hand again. ¡°Ah!¡± Beatrice covered both cheeks with her hands and hid behind Dorothy. ¡°Sis, I admit it, I was wrong! Please stop him, he¡¯s really going to kill me!¡± Maya, who had been following Alex since the beginning, was appalled. She felt as if Alex had changed drastically. He was now a cold and wild man, staring everyone down. ¡°What happened to him?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like he has just awoken from decadency¡ªhe¡¯s changed so much.¡± The receptionist on the ground floor and the other employees covered their mouths in shock as well. Even if they didn¡¯t watch the Shepherds groveling before Alex from afar, watching him p the absolute hell out of his wife¡¯s sister was still immensely shocking. However, they all knew that she deserved it. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. The male employees could empathize with Alex¡¯s situation. They wouldn¡¯t be able to hold in their anger if this happened to them as well. However, Dorothy was soft-hearted. This was her sister after all. She signaled Alex to stop. Alex red at Beatrice and asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Beatrice¡¯s eyes were filled with fury, yet she still nodded profusely. ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Then remember that pain!¡± Alex could tell that Beatrice didn¡¯t want to ept defeat. Her eyes said it all. However, he didn¡¯t care if she wanted revenge on him. If this happened again, he would just have to keep going at her until she was willing to admit defeat. ¡°Dorothy, I have some things to take care ofter. You can keep yourself busy while I¡¯m away. I¡¯ll be off now.¡± Alex turned to Dorothy with a warm and loving expression. ¡°Here¡¯re the keys to the red M8, you can take it.¡± Dorothy took the keys in confusion. ¡°What about you?¡± Alex signalled to the other car outside. ¡°Someone gave this out for free anyway. So I¡¯ll make good use of it,¡± he said as he waved and left the building. Dorothy watched him walk out of the building. Her mind was filled with unanswered questions¡ªshe couldn¡¯t figure him out at all. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 90 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 90 It was 1:30 P.M. by the time Alex arrived at Hell¡¯s Angels owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate. N?velDrama.Org content rights. A few underlings were waiting at the door. As soon as they noticed Alex, they bowed down respectfully. ¡°Wee, Master Alex!¡± Alex was starting to get used to this title and nodded. ¡°Where¡¯s Lord Lex?¡± ¡°Lord Lex is inside. After you, sir.¡± Lex looked much betterpared to when a demon was draining his Chi and blood. His cheeks were slightly flushed and he seemed to be quite energized as well. Alex noticed a strong aroma of traditional medicine and could miraculously tell which herbs and in what ratios were used just from scent¡­ This was another ability that came with the Ultimate Book of Medicine. The medicine included ginseng, wild celery, chinese knotweed, saussurea, and many other expensive herbs. It seemed that Lex was taking this medicine to help restore blood flow. However, the ratios seemed a bit off¡ªit was too concentrated. That was why Lex¡¯s face was fairly flushed. Upon Alex¡¯s arrival, Lex smiled. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re finally here! Can you please check up on Waltz? She¡¯s extremely ill.¡± Since there were others around, Lex knew that it wasn¡¯t appropriate to refer to Alex as master. Alex nodded and didn¡¯t question any further. Alex was shocked to see Waltz in this state. Her limbs were tied to all four corners of the bed as she screamed in pain, struggling to break free. The expensive rosewood bed was shaking vigorously from her drastic movements. Alex took a look into her Chi and identified the problem. She was poisoned after being bitten by a spirit. ¡°How did she get hurt?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, do you still remember that painting from before? That was a gift from Xavier Young at my birthday celebration. I thought he had good intentions, but apparently not. There is someone powerful backing him in order to kill me, just to get their hands on Thousand Miles Conglomerate,¡± Lex said furiously. ¡°Waltz brought some of our men to force the Youngs to talk, but they came back defeated. Waltz almost didn¡¯t make it all the way back here.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Alex nodded lightly. He wasn¡¯t interested in any of their underground conflicts. However, only a vengeful spirit would be able to make a living person suffer from just a mere bite. ¡°Ahhh, I can¡¯t take it anymore! Hey, Rockefeller, can you even save me?¡± Waltz yelled at Alex. She was still struggling, only managing to move her torso around. Her front view was quite the sight. ¡°Yeah, I can¡­¡± ¡°Then do it quick! If you want anything, you could just ask! I don¡¯t want to suffer anymore!¡± Alex calmly scanned the interior of the room that he was in. It was apparent that Waltz lived here as there were quite some feminine objects lying around. He even noticed a few undergarments too. ¡°Hey, what are you looking at? Can you please just help me now?¡± Waltz screamed. Her whole body was itchy and in sheer pain. She just wanted to make the itch go away, even if it meant she had to dig into her skin. Her thighs were quite a mess from her scratching. This was the reason Lex had someone tie her to the bed. Alex picked up a bag of melon seeds and ced one into his mouth. He asked, ¡°Is this how you ask for help?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Waltz was going insane. She¡¯d rather die than endure this. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Lex was panicking as well, yet he didn¡¯t dare to rush Alex. ¡°You have to be polite when asking for help. Isn¡¯t thatmon sense? How old are you, anyway?¡± Waltz screamed, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller! Master Alex! Big Brother Alex! Please, please just hurry and relieve me of this suffering!¡± ¡°That¡¯s more I like it.¡± Alex stood up and tore her shorts in half around her thigh area. Her skin was now exposed and there was a ck spot the size of a coin from which an ominous ck mist surrounded her thighs. Alex reached two fingers out, preparing to heal her. Suddenly, a young man rushed in and yelled, ¡°Stop!¡± Alex looked to the side and realized that there was a man in histe 20s at the door. His eyes were filled with energy and determination as his aura radiated intensely. The man said, ¡°Godfather, how could you let this inexperienced jerk heal Waltz? She¡¯s clinging on her lifeline now. What will we do if something goes wrong? This was why I had a real monke by, Jarsurya of Obloha Nuvem.¡± Just then, a monk in long robes and white hair entered the room. He really seemed like a holy saint. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 91 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 91 ¡°Oh? Azure, you actually invited Jarsurya of Obloha Nuvem?¡± Lex turned around, surprised by the appearance of the monk. A bright smile appeared on his face as he immediately showed his utmost respect towards the monk. ¡°Ah, Jarsurya the Venerable One! Thank you foring to my humble home. My ce isn¡¯t much, I apologize.¡± Alex had never seen Lex behave so respectfully. He froze and thought, ¡®Was this monk some sort of powerful figure?¡¯ Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Upon closer look, he noticed something. The monk had a fairly strong Chi¡ªhe really had a certain level of power. This was the first time Alex had seen anyone like him and couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. He wanted to look into the monk¡¯s Chi even more. As he finally had a good look at him, he felt a slight sense of disappointment. This monk indeed trained his Chi. However, his wasn¡¯t as strong as Alex¡¯s. Compared to Alex¡¯s Chi, the monk¡¯s was akin to a mere ant. Alex had the help of his ancestor¡¯s Chi to help train him. Despite already using up one-third of the Chi, he was at least able to improve his Force to second base. His Chi infinitely flowed within his body, concentrating on his core. On the other hand, Jarsurya had an empty core. His Chi was only flowing within his veins and out of his body slowly. He was like a broken balloon¡ªhe just couldn¡¯t contain it in his body. Hence, his training wouldn¡¯t be sufficient. Jarsurya noticed that Alex had been staring at him for quite a while though with slight disappointment. This angered the monk. Everyone had treated him like a demigod with the utmost respect since he became famous within this field. However, this young man dared to stare at him with such a gaze, as if he thought the monk a mere con artist. Jarsurya huffed. ¡°Get out, all of you!¡± After giving out such orders, Jarsurya didn¡¯t pay any more attention to Alex. He was a monk after all. Why should he be petty over a young boy? That would just lower his status after all. ¡°Uhm, this is Mr. Rockefeller, Venerable One. He is a legendary man too with quite the skills.¡± Lex exined. ¡°Legendary? Hah!¡± Jarsurya took a nce at Alex and smirked, as if Alex was nothing to him. ¡°Mr. Gunther, you may have been fooled. This man is still quite young and he looks quite average as well. I can¡¯t feel any energy flowing within him. What could he possibly do?¡± Lex felt extremely awkward. He couldn¡¯t risk revealing Alex¡¯s identity. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, well¡­¡± Alex waved dismissively. ¡°That¡¯s alright. I¡¯d like to see if this monk is biting more than he can chew.¡± Jarsurya huffed again. ¡°You¡¯re just a mere human, what would you know about my powers as a monk? Fine, I¡¯ll show you my power to save you from the humiliation of being so unknowledgeable.¡± Alex waved his hand dismissively once more, took a few steps back and watched nonchntly. He even picked up the bag of chips again and had a mouthful. It was salty, yet quite vorful. Alex enjoyed every bite of it. Azure Storm shot Alex a dirty re. If Jarsurya had not let Alex watch him, Azure would¡¯ve kicked Alex out of the room. As Lex¡¯s godson and the leader of the Three Great Chieftains of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, he had heard rumors of Alex¡¯s methods a few days ago. However, Azure was quite the fighter too. He even hardened his skin just for extra defense and was skilled in many fields. So, he didn¡¯t believe that Alex was any better than him, though they had never competed against each other. When Waltz mentioned that she was pped on her behind when she lost to Alex, Azure started to hold a grudge against Alex. Azure was quite fond of Waltz after all. Just then, Waltz was at her limit. Her whole body was trembling as she screamed like a beast. Jarsurya took a nce at Alex and said, ¡°Watch and learn, young man.¡± The monk then pulled out a talisman as he murmured a spell under his breath. His Chi was now flowing through his veins and out onto the talisman. As the talisman fell from his hand, it spun in mid-air and brimmed with light. This was quite a shock to everyone who witnessed it. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 92 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 92 Both Lex and Azure¡¯s eyes widened¡ªthey couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. Jarsurya took a brief nce at Alex, hoping to see Alex in absolute shock and disbelief as well. However, the young man was still eating chips, chuckling as he watched his work like a circus performance. The monk became so angry that he almost made a mistake in his spell. He immediately calmed himself and shouted once to control the talisman tond on the spot Waltz was bitten. The talisman became dull as soon as itnded on the wound. In just a sh, the talisman broke into shreds. The ck spot on Waltz¡¯s thigh had be lighter as well. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Waltz, how do you feel?¡± Azure asked Waltz worriedly. Waltz nodded lightly. ¡°A little better.¡± However, she still looked quite ill and upset. Jarsurya said, ¡°The poison in her body is quite strong. Even with my powers, it is impossible to remove all the poison in one day. However, you don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ll be able to cure her within a week.¡± Azure immediately rushed to the monk. ¡°Thank you for helping us, Venerable One.¡± Lex was extremely respectful as well. ¡°You have done very well, Venerable One. Thank you. Please have some rest.¡± The monk then let out a sigh of relief and turned to Alex with a smug look on his face. ¡°Hey, young man, I hope you¡¯ve learned something today! That¡¯s what we call power!¡± Alex couldn¡¯t hold in hisughter and let out a chuckle. He swallowed the chips in his mouth and pped. ¡°You were amazing, oh, Venerable One. I admire you.¡± Jarsurya¡¯s expression darkened. Although Alex seemed respectful, his words were filled with sarcasm and mockery. He made it sound as if Jarsurya was just a circus monkey in his eyes. The monk was about to erupt with anger like a volcano. Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the room, followed by terrified screams. Everyone in the room froze. Azure jumped out of his seat. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± In just a few seconds, fighting could be heard and a loud yell followed. ¡°Lex Gunther, get your *ss out here.¡± Lex¡¯s expression darkened and he immediately exited the room. Jarsurya followed behind with furrowed eyebrows. Alex took a nce at Waltz and walked out of the room as well. He didn¡¯t forget to bring his bag of chips along. Azure and a few members of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate were fighting with the intruders. With his hardened skin and steel-like bones, Azure was like a beast. He swung his strong fists at the intruders, causing them to fall back. Lex smiled coldly. ¡°Well, well, look who it is. Xavier Young, do you really think I, Lex Gunther, am a dead man? How dare you barge into Hell¡¯s Angels?¡± A forty-year-old man with a handlebar mustache stood at the door¡ªhe was Xavier Young. Xavier laughed. ¡°So what if I treat you as a dead man, Lex Gunther? You¡¯re about to die anyway!¡± ¡°Let us wee Master Vaudou!¡± Behind Xavier was a skinny middle-aged man with a chilling and ominous aura. He had bloodshot eyes with pupils smaller than that of the average person. As he scanned the area, Vaudou pulled out a ck bottle and swung it from side to side. A ck cloud of smoke came out from the bottle and formed into a skull before charging towards Azure. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 93 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 93 ¡°Ah! A ghost!¡± ¡°Help!¡± Everyone started screaming on the top of their lungs¡ªno average man would be able to stand such a horrifying scene. The skull formed by ck smoke controlled by Master Vaudou. With a loud shout, the skull bit onto Azure¡¯s arm. Although Azure was able to take a few hits with his beast-like body, he was no match against the bite of this evil spirit. Azure started screaming in pain and felt his soul trembling within his body. The evil spirit drained both a human¡¯s blood and soul. This caused Azure immense pain. Since Jarsurya was invited by Azure, he couldn¡¯t just stand there and do nothing. He howled at the spirit and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare hurt the innocent, you demon! You give me no choice but to get rid of thee!¡± Jarsurya pulled out another talisman and spat his Chi onto it. The lettering on the talisman glowed brightly in mid-air. ¡°Take that!¡± The talisman was thrown at the spirit. Alex was watching attentively and curiously from the sidelines. Although he knew about such methods when he received the Ultimate Book of Medicine, it was still shocking to watch someone perform it in real life, regardless of how experienced they were. ¡®Looks like there¡¯s another side to our world that remains unknown to most people. Huh, wouldn¡¯t that mean my ancestor, who imed that he was the God of Medicine, actually ended up being a God after all?¡¯ Just as Alex was deep in thought, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Master Vaudou chuckled. ¡°What a joke. As if you could handle my blood-sucking demon! You haven¡¯t even mastered your skills! I¡¯ll show you what my demon can really do then!¡± Just as he finished his sentence, Master Vaudou bit down on his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood into the bottle. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. The blood sucking demon screeched loudly and grew twice asrge in size before charging towards the monk. Jarsurya pulled out another talisman and stomped his feet as he cast a spell. ¡°Aing Kreem Kreem Khim Khim Khichi Khichi Bhootnathay Khim Khim Phat!¡± The talisman grew into a golden sword of light, charging towards the spirit. However, the evil spirit opened its mouth and swallowed the sword whole. It then charged towards the monk and bit down on him as well. ¡°Ah!¡± With a loud scream, Jarsurya fell to the ground and vomited blood. His terrified face was pale white. Xavier cackled. ¡°So, do you yield, Lex Gunther? If you know what¡¯s best for you, I¡¯d want a share of half the Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s stocks and all yournd south of Green River. If you refuse to cooperate, I¡¯ll have Master Vaudou destroy your puny little Hell¡¯s Angels!¡± Still under the control of Master Vaudou, the 3-meter-tall spirit red at Lex. Lex was horrified and felt helpless. He took a deep sigh and thought, ¡®I should cooperate with him for not even Jarsurya could defeat this thing. Looks like I have to give in to his demands this time.¡± Just as Lex was about to surrender, Alex walked towards the evil spirit, still crunching on some chips. Lex froze and immediately said, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, don¡¯t!¡± Jarsurya panicked as well. ¡°Are you insane, young man? You¡¯re digging your own grave. Not even I, Jarsurya, am able to defeat this spirit. Do you really think you¡¯re some sort of powerful legend?¡± Alex stared at the spirit, seemingly amused. He calmly replied, ¡°Maybe.¡± Jarsurya¡¯s blood boiled. ¡®What does he mean ¡®maybe¡¯? ¡®Maybe¡¯ my *ss! How can this brat joke around even at a time like this!¡¯ Master Vaudou smiled cunningly. ¡°Hey, young man, looks like you¡¯re pretty interested. Very well, then! I¡¯ll grant your wish and make you food for my little treasure! You¡¯ll be able to be one with it! Go, my treasure!¡± The spirit received the master¡¯s orders and screeched loudly. It rushed towards Alex, about to bite down on him. Alex shook his head. ¡°So, you really are feeding it with living humans. How immoral and twisted.¡± He then spat something out of his mouth. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 94 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 94 It was a piece of chip. However, this small piece of chip was concentrated with his Chi. After spitting it into the evil spirit¡¯s mouth, the spirit¡¯s mouth was sealed tight and it became paralyzed as if an immobility spell was cast on it. ¡°Huh, what happened?¡± Everyone was stunned. The spirit had never stopped mid-attack. Master Vaudou shook the spirit¡¯s bottle vigorously, shouting over and over again. However, the spirit was ignoring everymand, as if it could no longer listen to him. Alex spoke up, ¡°Such an evil spirit. You must¡¯ve taken so many lives. I can¡¯t let you roam around this earth any longer. He bit into his finger on his right hand and drew a symbol on his left palm with blood. This symbol seemed simple, yet it was fairly ancient. He pped the symbol onto the spirit, causing a bright light to snake from within with a thunderous roar. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. This was one of the skills that Alex had required to defeat spirits¡ªthe Thunder Palm Mantra. The tall spirit screamed in agony before turning into a mist of ck light as it became devoured by the mantra. This was an incredible skill for it had the ability to exorcise and cleanse the spirit, turning it into pure energy ready for one¡¯s own use. Alex could feel a pure flow of energy entering his core. It felt extremely soothing. ¡°What?¡± Jarsurya¡¯s eyes widened as he continued murmuring to himself. ¡°Was that the Thunder Palm Mantra of the Sanctuary of Light? How has he mastered such a skill at such a young age? Could he be one of the Sanctuary¡¯s disciples?¡± Jarsurya was in histe 70s, yet he hasn¡¯t mastered any of such skills yet. He thought back to when he ran his mouth arrogantly in front of Alex, and blushed in embarrassment. Although Lex was stunned, he immediately jumped out of joy. He had initially thought that he was going to lose everything today. But he did not expect things to y out in his favor. It would seem like his trump card wasn¡¯t Jarsurya, it was his master! He felt like he was meeting Alex for the first time, getting to know his other sides. As for Xavier, he was inplete shock and disbelief. Master Vaudou, on the other hand, knew that he was in great trouble. The blood-sucking demon that he had trained for ages was destroyed by Alex in a blink of an eye. Without hesitation, he made a run for the exit, hoping to escape. However, Alex was much faster than him. He blocked Vaudou¡¯s way and kicked him hard in the guts. Vaudounded on a table and the spirit¡¯s bottle fell to the ground from the impact. Alex then stomped on both of Vaudou¡¯s legs, crushing them. He said coldly, ¡°Using living humans to feed spirits, you really are a maniac. I have no idea how many people you¡¯ve killed, you warlock. I won¡¯t let you off this easily.¡± Alex mmed his hand onto Master Vaudou¡¯s core. His Chi was now crushed and his core was destroyed. Everything that he had worked for up until now was all for naught. Master Vaudou screamed in pain before he vomited blood and fainted. Xavier was infuriated. He thought that his n seeded. But this young man had to stand in his way and turn the tables. Moreover, his underlings were outnumbered if they got into a physical fight. Lex knew that as well, hence he immediately ordered a group of his best fighters to capture Xavier and his men. Jarsurya crawled back up to his feet and bowed to Alex. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, oh, Venerable One. You do have immense power and skills. I¡¯m truly sorry to have looked down on you just now. Please forgive me!¡± Relieved, Lex approached Alex and praised him. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, thank you for giving us a hand this time. I would¡¯ve died back there. I bow to you, oh, Venerable One.¡± Lex was really bowing to Alex out of gratitude and respect this time. Jarsurya asked, ¡°If I may ask, Mr. Rockefeller, are you a disciple of the Sanctuary of Light?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 95 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 95 Alex stared at Jarsurya. Thetter was just as respectful towards him as Lex was. However, Alex shook his head and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m not.¡± Jarsurya pped his own thigh and eximed, ¡°That¡¯s right! The Thunder Palm Mantra of the Sanctuary of Light can¡¯t convert the spirit¡¯s energy for their own use. Mr. Rockefeller is practically a demigod. You¡¯re much stronger than them.¡± Alex was speechless. This monk may be old, but he is great at kissing *sspared to Lex Gunther. However, Alex decided not to exin much. He took a nce at Azure and said, ¡°You guys can deal with everything else. I¡¯ll check up on Waltz now.¡± Azure was extremely jealous upon hearing those words. But he was powerlesspared to Alex¡¯s weird and mysterious methods. Moreover, he had been bitten by the evil spirit as well, so his condition was much worse than Waltz¡¯s. But Alex was not acquainted with him at all, so it was only normal that he¡¯d cure a beauty like Waltz first. ¡°What happened outside?¡± Waltz asked worriedly when she noticed Alex walk in. ¡°Nothing really.¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Alex sat at her bedside and stared at the wound on her thigh. He reached his hand out to touch it gently as well. Waltz was startled. ¡°Ah, what are you doing! You shameless bastard!¡± Alex ignored her since she was tied up. It was impossible for her to escape anyway. He decided to tease her a little, sliding his hand further in as he shot her a sly smile. ¡°Ah! If you dare to touch me there, Rockefeller, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Waltz screamed. She turned her head to the side and saw Lex frozen at the door. She immediately called out to him. ¡°Godfather!¡± Lex was amused¡ªhe was shocked yet overjoyed. He immediately replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything! Ah, I must be in the wrong room. Please continue!¡± He backed out of the room and closed the door, blocking Jarsurya¡¯s view. Jarsurya had wanted to see how Alex would cure Waltz. Jarsurya¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller¡­ Mr. Gunther, you¡¯re a lucky man!¡± Lex had almost let out a chuckle from joy as well. If Waltz and Alex were to be a thing, then he could be family with Alex. What more could he wish for? Azure, though, was extremely bitter and upset as he followed them. Alex was just ying a prank on Waltz. She may be extraordinarily beautiful, but he wouldn¡¯t do such things without her consent. He reached for her pulse. Alex then aimed at her thigh and carried out the Bahiskara Acupuncture. After just seven acupuncture points, the poison was removedpletely. The whole procedure onlysted for half a minute. ¡°The poison has been removed.¡± Alex smiled and freed her from her restraints. Waltz was astonished. When she was still in immense suffering, that monk had only relieved it slightly. Yet this man cured her just by poking on her thighs seven times. His medical skills were absolutely astounding. Alex opened the door and let both Lex and Jarsurya in. They were amazed as they checked up on Waltz, especially Jarsurya who just couldn¡¯t stop praising Alex. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller¡¯s methods are really out of this world.¡± Although Jarsurya had been bitten by the spirit, he didn¡¯t seem to be affected at all. Azure, on the contrary, was screaming like a beast, his expression became insanely twisted. Alex decided to cure him too since he started getting annoyed by the sounds he was making. ¡°Thank you¡­ Mr. Rockefeller.¡± Azure said, lowering his head as his whole body was drenched in sweat. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 96 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 96 Jarsurya bid his goodbyes and left Saintville. Alex pulled Lex to the side as he had wanted to speak to him alone. ¡°I¡¯d like you to help me with something.¡± Lex bowed and said, ¡°Yes, master.¡± Alex pulled Lex back up and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, you¡¯re getting on with age so you don¡¯t have to bow every single time you talk to me! Oh, and stop calling me master. All these titles just confuse me! Just call me Mr. Rockefeller from now on!¡± N?velDrama.Org content rights. ¡°Yes, master¡­Mr. Rockefeller.¡± ¡°By the way, here¡¯s your card.¡± Alex was returning a ck bank card with ten billion dors inside. Lex was shocked. ¡°This is your pocket change! How could you not have money in this economy?¡± To which Alex replied, ¡°I¡¯ve already transferred 30 million into my ount. This card is just way too eye-catching and ten billion is too much. If my wife or mom ever finds out about it, I wouldn¡¯t know how to exin! Besides, if I really need more money, I¡¯ll inform you.¡± Lex nodded. ¡°Sorry, that is very inconsiderate of me! Madame and Lady¡¯s safety is our top priority. I will be more careful in the future. I promise to never reveal your rtionship with Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it! Okay, back to business. I¡¯d like you to investigate the driver who was involved in my parent¡¯s ident, Anthony Pattingson. I suspect that he was ordered to do so.¡± Lex furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ve investigated this person, he didn¡¯t seem suspicious. However, I¡¯ll try to dig deeper this time. If I find anything, I¡¯ll inform you immediately.¡± Before he left, Alex took the spirit¡¯s bottle. This was a mystical tool after all. Meanwhile, a young man in tattered clothes stumbled into Rockefeller Manor. That man was Spark Rockefeller. A maid started screaming, ¡°Ah! Young Lord, what¡­what happened to you?¡± Within a few moments, the whole Rockefeller family came running out, including John and his wife, Noah¡¯s wife and the head of the Rockefeller family, Bill. ¡°Spark, where have you been for the past few days?¡± John¡¯s wife, Olivia Banks asked as she hugged Spark. She looked heartbroken as tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°We couldn¡¯t find you at all. Our calls couldn¡¯t go through too! I was going to report you as a missing person already!¡± ¡°Alex, it was Alex. I want him dead! I want him f*cking dead!¡± Spark screamed, slurring his words. He looked like a wounded beast¡ªhalf of his teeth were missing and his gums were swollen. It was difficult for him to even speak. ¡°What happened?¡± Olivia¡¯s eyes were filled with fury. After Alex broke Scarface¡¯s legs, he went to Waltz for back up. However, he didn¡¯t expect Alex to be Lord Lex¡¯s honored guest. Hence, the group captured Spark and beat him up. He was even locked up for two days before he could escape. Some of his bones were fractured as well. John was furious when he heard what happened. He wanted to kill Alex right there and then. Suddenly, the head of the family, Bill said, ¡°Alex, you bastard! I¡¯ll have both you and your mother dead in a ditch for hurting my grandson!¡± As soon as he finished, Bill suddenly copsed. They immediately sent him to the hospital. Apparently, he had be paralyzed from the neck down and would have to spend his remaining days in bed. ¡°Why? Why did this happen?¡± ¡®It¡¯s all because of that bastard, Alex! I want him dead!¡¯ John thought to himself. He called for his bodyguard as his eyes became filled with murderous intent. ¡°Brock, go get Alex and his mother. I want both of them kneeling before me by tonight!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 97 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 97 Alex was still thinking about the incident with Jarsurya and Vaudou on his way home. Jarsurya did indeed have a fairly strong Chi within him. And Vaudou also had simr energy flowing in his body though it was more sinister and evil. What had they meant by ¡®mastered¡¯? At the time, Vaudou had insulted Jarsurya as he controlled the spirit, saying that Jarsurya had not mastered his skills. Alex kept trying to find out about skill mastery within his mind, but he still couldn¡¯t find any answers. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ording to what he received from his ancestor, training the Force would refine his Chi. When the fourth level of the Force was achieved, then he would attain a stronger foundation. ¡®Oh well, I don¡¯t care. Whatever ¡®mastery¡¯ they meant would still be weaker than the Force that my ancestor gave me,¡¯ Alex thought and drove back to Maple Vi. However, he froze as soon as he entered his house. There was a big man with a gold dagger sitting on the sofa. He was calmly sipping on some red wine while watching television. ¡®Holy sh*t, who the hell is this? Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s mom¡¯s friend?¡¯ Suddenly, he noticed that Brittany had fallen unconscious next to the coffee table. He could tell from where he was standing that one side of her face was badly swollen with a p mark. ¡°Mom!¡± Alex was shocked as his murderous aura grew. Anger built up within his chest as if he was about to strike at any second. Alex rushed over to Brittany to check on her wounds. It seemed that she had only been pped. She must¡¯ve fainted from the impact. The man sat on the sofa, not moving a muscle the whole time. He stared confidently and condescendingly at Alex, as if he was a mere ant. ¡°Who, are you?¡± Alex asked calmly as he moved his mother to a safer ce. However, the calmer he looked on the outside, the angrier he grew inside. He regretted leaving his mother alone at home without any form of protection. But he was just d that nothing worse happened, or else he would¡¯ve med himself for the rest of his life. This man was John¡¯s bodyguard, Brock. He was almost two meters tall and had a build like a bear. He was a very skilled and powerful fighter. Brock smiled at Alex mockingly and said, ¡°You seem to be angry. You want to kill me, don¡¯t you? It¡¯s no use, you¡¯re just a mere ant when going up against me! Since everyone¡¯s here, let¡¯s go. Someone would like to meet you¡­ Oh, by the way, this wine tastes great, thanks!¡± Brock spoke softly, yet his words were conveyed arrogantly. He behaved as if he was a God everyone worshipped¡ªeven thanking someone should be considered charity. Alex suppressed the urge to fight him right then and there. ¡°Who wants to see me?¡± Brock replied, ¡°John Rockefeller.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Alex nodded. ¡°Sure, I¡¯d like to see him anyway. However, before that, I have something I¡¯d like to do.¡± ¡°Tell me then, I might be able to help with it.¡± ¡°Oh, you totally can. Well¡­ I¡¯d like to smash all four of your limbs and make sure you won¡¯t be able to train in martial arts again.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Brock was shocked and infuriated as he lunged towards Alex and swung his fists at him. Fighters were separated into four colored categories: Divine, Earth, Mystic and Royal, where Divine was the highest rank and Royal was the lowest. Brock was one of the best fighters within the Royal ranks. However, it would be unwise to look down upon Royal rankers as those who have achieved it would have great internal strength. Many fighters weren¡¯t even able to master the lowest rank in martial arts. For example, Edgar¡¯s bodyguard, Jay, was the first runner-up of the national kickboxingpetition. However, he couldn¡¯t even make it to Royal rank. If Jay were to go up against Brock, he would be crushed in an instant. But Alex didn¡¯t intend to dodge Brock¡¯s attacks at all. He maintained a calmposure the whole time though his eyes shone with determination. Brock thought that Alex was frozen from shock. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 98 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 98 Alex suddenly raised his arm and swung his fist as well. He moved so nimbly, as if his body was made of cotton. But when the two punches collided, Brock felt a strong flow of energy gushing out from Alex¡¯s fist. Suddenly, Brock heard the sound of bones crushing as his right arm broke, followed by a sudden rush of electric shock before his body went numb. Brock looked at his deformed arm as it sagged from his shoulder, yet he couldn¡¯t feel any pain at all. He couldn¡¯t believe that this was happening. Alex, who he had initially called an ant, had turned the tables on him and broke his arm. ¡°This¡­ This isn¡¯t real!¡± Alex sternly reached for Brock¡¯s other arm and gripped onto it. With another crack, his wrist was completely dislocated. He then proceeded to break his legs as well. With onest punch, he destroyed his corepletely. In just five seconds, Brock¡ªwho acted so almighty like a God¡ªwas now a mere useless pest. Brock started vomiting blood and felt an immense pain with thisst strike. He started to be paralyzed and just wanted it all to end. ¡°How¡­ How are you so strong? ¡°Who are you?¡± Brock asked. He looked shocked and reluctant to admit defeat despite being in pain and feeling embarrassed. Alex stared at him and ignored his question. He then dialed Lex¡¯s number. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, how can I help you?¡± ¡°I need a fighter who is smart and skilled to protect my mom. It would be better if the person is a woman.¡± Lex immediately replied, ¡°Waltz, the. Would Waltz be cut out for this?¡± Lex was holding in his smile. He had been slightly frustrated that Waltz and Alex couldn¡¯t spend more time together. However, now he¡¯s gotten himself a great opportunity to bring them together! Lex didn¡¯t mind that Alex was married at all. Traditions didn¡¯t matter in the underworld. Alex gave it some thought and replied, ¡°Sure.¡± Half an hourter, Waltz arrived at Number 8 in a Lamborghini. Her demeanor towards Alex had softened after hearing of how Alex defeated the evil spirit earlier and was worshipped by Jarsurya. She showed up in her usual red dress and Alex couldn¡¯t help but steal a few nces at her fair and long legs. ¡°Ahem, why¡­ why are you wearing this?¡± Alex asked calmly after fully taking in this beautiful sight. Waltz could feel the passion within his eyes when he was staring at her. She was slightly amused and decided to tease him. ¡°What¡¯s it to you? Did you want me to show up in a bikini instead?¡± Just then, she noticed Brock lying on the ground and screamed, ¡°Ah! Why is this guy here?¡± Alex was slightly surprised. ¡°You know him?¡± Waltz seemed slightly upset. ¡°Of course I do. This guy is the famous Knockout Brock in California¡¯s underworld. He¡¯s the fourth best fighter in his n. His full name is Brock Rousey. He¡¯s 36 years oldN?velDrama.Org content rights. and joined the Royal rank two years ago. He¡¯s also Frank ordo¡¯s right-hand man, but he disappeared six months ago. It is almost impossible to bump into him in the underworld.¡± Waltz seemed to be quite familiar with Brock as she was able to ry all of this man¡¯s information in one breath. He seemed to be quite a powerful person. Waltz then asked, ¡°What happened to him?¡± Alex replied calmly, ¡°I broke all his limbs.¡± Brock had not fainted yet. His expression became twisted as he scowled. ¡°Mr. ardo will surely seek revenge for me. You have no idea who you¡¯re messing with, Alex Rockefeller.¡± Alex turned to Waltz. ¡°Who is Frank ardo?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 99 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 99 Waltz exined. ¡°Frank ardo is the CEO of Valtameri Co. in California. He¡¯s possibly the only person who is equal to my godfather in California¡¯s underworld. However, this man likes keeping a low profile, so he¡¯s a pretty mysterious guy. We once had a conflict with Valtameri Co. and was about to lose. But he backed away for no reason and this was never mentioned ever again. ¡°Back then, Azure lost to him.¡± She said as she pointed to Brock. ¡°Oh?¡± Alex turned to Brock as well, tapping his fingers on the coffee table. ¡®If Frank ardo really is such a powerful figure, then why would his right-hand man be working as a bodyguard for John Rockefeller? They were in no way connected to each other. ¡®Looks like Mom was right, John must be hiding a deep dark secret. ¡®Could it be rted to Dad¡¯s death?¡¯ Alex thought as he red at Brock. He just wanted to murder him right now. He approached Brock and bent down. ¡°Tell me, why are you working as John¡¯s bodyguard? Was John the one who killed my father back then? What role did you y in all of this?¡± Brock smiled but remained silent. Alex smirked and ced a finger between Brock¡¯s eyebrows. He was using the Soul Banishing Touch once again! One second, two seconds¡­ four seconds passed. Brock had persisted for a second longer than that murderer. Just then, a stream of blood flowed out of his mouth. Alex was rmed and he immediately opened Brock¡¯s mouth by squeezing his lower jaw. However, it was toote. Brock had chewed on the poison he had hidden in his teeth¡ªhe had decided tomit suicide. ¡°God damn it!¡± This man had just poisoned himself in Alex¡¯s house. Though Alex was now a powerful figure with the skills he obtained from his ancestor and also someone Lex admired greatly, he was still nervous about having a corpse in his home. He had never experienced anything like this before after all. Waltz noticed him panicking. She was slightly puzzled at first, then she chuckled and cocked her head. ¡°Are you scared?¡± As one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld, Waltz was not fazed by a corpse at all. It was just another ordinary day for her¡ªthey see corpses every day when dealing in the underworld anyway. Alex¡¯s strength and mysterious method had made Waltz quite nervous around him. However, seeing him being scared of a corpse made her loosen up and relieved. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the almighty Mr. Rockefeller¡ªthe one who even Jarsurya groveled for¡ªto be scared of corpses. This is hrious.¡± Alex narrowed his eyes. ¡°This is my house. Why wouldn¡¯t it bother me that someone killed themselves here?¡± Waltz took a step forward and lifted Alex¡¯s chin slightly, smiling softly. ¡°It¡¯s not a bother. You just have to call me Big Sister and I¡¯ll take care of it for you. I promise that there wouldn¡¯t be any traces left. What do you say?¡± The two were just two inches away from each other and Waltz¡¯s chest was especially close to Alex. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Alex almost couldn¡¯t resist from locking her in his embrace. ¡®Could this be revenge for having her call me Big Brother?¡¯ Just then, Alex pped Waltz¡¯s behind. Waltz was startled and took a few steps back. Her cheeks were flushed. ¡°You¡­you pped me again?¡± Alex huffed. ¡°I¡¯m reminding you that you¡¯re here to work as my servant under your godfather¡¯s orders. If you don¡¯t want to, I could always have him send someone else.¡± Waltz was slightly annoyed. ¡°What? Did you just call me your servant?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Do you think just anyone can be my servant? You¡¯re lucky to be chosen so be grateful for this opportunity.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 100 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 100 Just as Waltz was about to snap, Alex said, ¡°Your right chest has been wounded in the past, right? So you¡¯d feel pain frequently under your third rib on the right. This would affect your training. Whenever you try to control your Chi, you¡¯d feel immense pain around your lungs.¡± Waltz was shocked. ¡°How did you know that?¡± Alex replied calmly, ¡°I can cure it for you, maybe even help you improve your fighting skills as well. But if you don¡¯t want to be my servant, then so be it.¡± Walt¡¯s eyes lit up and eximed. ¡°I¡¯ll do it, I¡¯ll totally do it!¡± After a momentary pause, she said shyly, ¡°But¡­ I don¡¯t know how to serve in bed.¡± Alex wanted to tease her even further. ¡®I¡¯ll teach you that!¡¯ He thought. But he suppressed that thought and acted nonchntly. ¡°Even if you did, I wouldn¡¯t let you. Just hurry up and deal with this.¡± Waltz made a brief call and ordered someone toe over to clean up the scene, easing Alex¡¯s anxious mind. Alex nodded towards the corpse and said, ¡°This Brock guy wanted to kidnap and have me and my mom brought to John.¡± Waltz huffed. ¡°He¡¯s such a poser. He asked for this anyway so he deserved to end up this way.¡± Alex smiled coldly. ¡°Since John would like to see me that much, I¡¯ll dly grant his wish. Stay here and protect my mom.¡± Waltz grinned. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m still a little worried. You¡¯re too weak. You know what? Here, let me help.¡± Alex then pped his hand onto Waltz¡¯s right shoulder. A warm gush of energy flowed into her body and her damaged veins. This warm flow of energy was the Chi that was formed from the Force. The Force was mainly used for medical purposes, so its healing effect was insanely effective. Waltz suddenly felt extremely rxed. Every part of her body felt warm and nice. Furthermore, her veins and blood vessels unclogged in just a blink of an eye as the energy flowed through her whole body. Her training had only let her reach the intermediate level of the Royal rank. But now, she was able to reach the advanced level. ¡°Here you go. Too bad this is all I could do since your veins are too weak. If you were to take two chakra pills, then your fighting abilities would surely improve.¡± Alex spoke calmly and matter-of-factly. ¡°I¡¯m leaving the house in your care. I¡¯ll be back in a bit.¡± Waltz snapped back to reality only after Alex drove off. She could feel an intense change in her body. In just a minute, her wounds had been healed entirely and all her vessels were unclogged. She was also now in the Advanced-Royal rank. It was like a dream. Normally, she would have to train for at least two years to reach this stage. ¡°Servant? Fine! I¡¯ll be your servant from now on! I¡¯ll serve you in bed if you need me to too!¡± Waltz smiled to herself and rushed to stay by Brittany¡¯s side.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Within a few minutes, Alex reached Rockefeller Manor. A luxurious Porsche drove up to the manor and parked at the side as well. A group of teens got out of the car. They were the younger generation of the Rockefellers: Carol and Natalie Rockefeller¡ªNoah¡¯s two daughters¡ªas well as Paige¡¯s son, Elijah Jefferson. Upon Alex¡¯s arrival, the three immediately switched up their attitude. William had betrayed their country and became aughing stock. Moreover, Alex threw his dignity out the window as he became a ve to his mother-inw. As those who shared the same family name, they had inadvertently be part of the public¡¯s gossip topics as well. This was why all of them seriously hated Alex. The eldest of the three, Carol was especially angry. She said, ¡°Hey Alex, you useless piece of crap! How dare youe back here? Were you the one who knocked Spark¡¯s teeth out? Grandpa is paralyzed because of you too! You¡¯re just a good for nothing curse to the family! You¡¯re no longer a part of the Rockefeller family. Get lost!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 101 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 101 Alex folded his arms behind his back and cocked his head as he stared at his cousin. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply. Back then, these people were exceptionally respectful to him. They even called him their big brother. However, with the recent events, this clingy cousin was now absolutely disgusted by and insulting him. It was as if she wanted to crush him under her feet. ¡®Oh well, since you treat me like trash, why would I hold on to our past rtionships?¡¯ He calmly said, ¡°That old man is now paralyzed? Well, that was quick. I guess that¡¯s what we call karma!¡± Carol was infuriated. ¡°What did you say? How dare you speak of Grandpa like that? Are you human or just a pest? Since your dad is a pest, then I guess you are one too!¡± Alex suddenly raised an arm and pped Carol across her face. It started swelling up from the impact. Alex¡¯s expression was cold and his eyes were as sharp as a dagger. ¡°When you were nine, your house was set on fire. The fire became so strong, even your parents abandoned you there. Tell me, who risked their lives to save you? The pest that you just mentioned! It doesn¡¯t even matter if my father wasn¡¯t framed. You have no right to insult him like that!¡± Carol¡¯s expression switched up again. She was filled with shame and hatred. Alex knew it would be a waste of time to talk to such people. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Remember this, all of you! I will not allow anyone to insult my father, William Rockefeller! Don¡¯t me me for being too harsh if you do!¡± He turned around and decided not to look at them any longer as he walked into the Rockefeller manor. But two security guards stopped him. ¡°The head of the family said that you do not have permission for entry! Get lost!¡± A man said. Alex recognized him. This person was Fred. He used to work for Alex¡¯s father. Back then, he was extremely respectful to Alex and would refer to him as his master. It was as if he was nothing more than William¡¯spdog. However, thispdog dared to tell him to get lost. ¡°You¡¯re telling me to get lost?¡± Alex stared straight into Fred¡¯s eyes. Carol and the others rushed up to them. She seemed to be holding a grudge against Alex for the p she received earlier. She just couldn¡¯t hold in her frustration. Now that the security guards were here to help, she feared nothing. ¡°Yeah, so what if we¡¯re telling you to get lost? Who do you think you are? Do you think you¡¯re still the young lord of the Rockefellers? You¡¯re just a mere street rat; a loser; someone who survives by relying solely on your wife! You can¡¯t even get in. How dare you p me? ¡°Fred, pin him down! I want him kneeling before me and licking my shoes clean!¡± Fred seemed to be quite excited and smug. ¡°Yes, Lady Carol.¡± He signalled his partner next to him and the two charged at Alex. With his arms still folded behind his back, Alex lifted his leg and kicked the guards hard in the guts. The two flew back as if they were bombs. One of the guards fell into the pond nearby while the other hit a tree. They couldn¡¯t even get back up on their knees. Carol and the rest were shocked and took a few steps back when she witnessed such a violent side of Alex. Natalie and Elijah were still fairly young¡ªone was in senior high while the other was in junior high. Hence, Alex would nevery a finger on them. ¡°John wanted to see me.¡± He said as he walked into the manor. No one dared to stand in his way this time. The Rockefeller manor was quiterge, upying acres and acres ofnd. The interior was picturesquely decorated. There was even a small bridge going over a small pond. It used to be the home of a famous minister in history books after all. Alex could still vaguely remember that they had bought this property when he was only eight years-old. His father, William, walked through the manor while holding his hand. He smiled and asked, ¡°Do you like this ce?¡± Back then, Alex pointed towards the pond and asked, ¡°Can we keep gold fishes here?¡± William nodded and Alex expressed how much he liked the manor. And that was how this property became the Rockefeller manor. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 102 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 102 His father¡¯s bright smile was engraved into his brain, as if he was right there with him. Remembering his smile broke Alex¡¯s heart. ¡°Dad, you were the one who chose and bought this ce. You lived here! ¡°Your son will get it back for you,¡± Alex murmured to himself. Original from N?velDrama.Org. He closed his eyes, engulfed by his thoughts. It was five in the evening by the time John rushed back to the manor from the hospital, feeling bloodthirsty. He med Alex and Brittany for the states his son and father were in. He wanted to let out his anger on and torture the two b*tches. But when he got to the entrance, he saw the guards. As Fred opened his mouth, John pushed him aside and asked coldly, ¡°Is that pest Alex here?¡± Fred didn¡¯t dare disobey him and said, ¡°He¡¯s here.¡± ¡°Very good,¡± John said as he rushed into the manor. He had already thought of multiple ways to torture both the mother and son. However, there was no one around, not even Brock, when he walked into the manor. There was only Alex resting on the grand master¡¯s chair, drinking tea. That was where Bill, the head of the family, normally sat. John became more furious. ¡°Who gave you permission to sit there? Who served you tea? Get up this instance!¡± Alex shot him a dirty re and drank the tea that he had prepared. He then said calmly, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Alex¡¯s calmness made John want to beat him up right there and then. However, he knew that something was up. He yelled, ¡°Brock, Brock! Come out! Where are you?¡± Since Brock had already died, it was impossible to have him present in the room. However, his loud yells caught the attention of the others in the manor. The guards, maids, Carol, Natalie and the others were all in the living room by now, followed by Noah and Paige. Familiar faces surrounded Alex. A fairly beautiful woman in a uniform was present as well. She had a curvy figure with quite long legs. Alex knew this person. She used to be William¡¯s secretary, Pepper Kimmich. Now that William had passed, she became John¡¯s secretary instead. Back then, Alex called her Sister Pepper. As he looked at her, Alex realized something strange¡ªthis woman was a fighter with great internal strength. Somehow, Alex just knew that his parent¡¯s ident was much more than just a mere ident. There must be some dark secret behind it. Carol was Noah¡¯s daughter. With her parents here, she startedining about Alex and making false usations. Carol¡¯s mother, Mariah Hamilton became extremely angry. She started pointing at and insulting Alex harshly and humiliatingly. She even started cursing about William and Brittany. Suddenly, Alex stood up and grabbed Mariah by her hair and pped her multiple times. Her face became as swollen as an obese pig. She was horrified and couldn¡¯t even say another word. She would have be angrier if she was only pped once. But with six ps, she chickened out. ¡°You deserve to be pped for insulting my parents! ¡°If you dare to run your mouth again, I¡¯ll break your limbs!¡± Alex flung Mariah to the side and stood up straight with his hands behind his back. His eyes were as deathly cold, sending chills down everyone¡¯s spine. Carol was terrified yet infuriated. ¡°You¡­ you would dare?¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare to?¡± Alex responded coldly and sharply. ¡°You Rockefellers dared to barge into my house and knock down my mom and kidnap us. So tell me, why shouldn¡¯t I dare to go up against you? ¡°John Rockefeller, tell me. Were you the one behind my parent¡¯s ident?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 103 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 103 ¡°What?¡± ¡°Behind their ident?¡± Alex stirred chaos among the Rockefellers with that one question. Everyone turned to John, waiting for an answer. Even Noah looked over in his direction. John snapped out of his daze and became more infuriated. ¡°Bullsh*t! Why would I be behind that ident? Do you suspect that I killed your dad? Do you think I¡¯d kill my own brother? Who do you take me for? ¡°Your father, William, betrayed our country and tried to make a run for it! He was the one who didn¡¯t pay attention to the road and panicked! He collided with some driver and got into that ident. He caused his own death. What does that have to do with me? ¡°Besides, his actions have caused us Rockefellers to endure shame and humiliation. We¡¯re now a laughing stock because of him. We can¡¯t even go by our lives in peace in California all because your father and mother Brittany just had to sumb to their greed!¡± Upon hearing John¡¯s words, the Rockefellers started ming and using them as well. ¡°That¡¯s right! Your father is the disappointment of the family!¡± ¡°I was made fun of at school for having a rtive who betrayed our country! They say that our wealth came from selling information about our country! I was so embarrassed!¡± ¡°How dare you use Uncle John for their shameful actions! You are the worst.¡± Everyone shifted their anger towards and ced the me on Alexpletely. Alex smiled to himself. If it weren¡¯t for his parents, how would the Rockefellers be where they were this day? How would Rockefeller Group be as sessful as they were now? How would they be able to live in such a big manor? If it weren¡¯t for his parents, these people would still be farming in the countryside, trying to reap benefits in every way like the greedy bastards they were. But Alex wasn¡¯t in the mood to argue. He stared at John and said, ¡°You know who betrayed our country. You¡¯d better be speaking truthfully if you imed that the car crash was just a mere ident. If I were to find out that you were the one behind it, then¡­¡± Alex raised his hand and mmed onto the table. The sturdy rosewood table was smashed into pieces. Everyone froze. No one dared to speak a word. Alex said in a calm tone, ¡°You would end up like this table.¡± John¡¯s eyes widened as goosebumps formed on his arm. Although it was still summer around this time of year, his body suddenly felt cold. The color drained from Carol¡¯s face and her legs went weak. She had wanted to call up some friends and outnumber Alex just to beat him up. However, after witnessing this, she was frightened to her core. If she were to call up those friends, they would just end up as minced meat. Pepper¡¯s eyes were glistening. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. Alex didn¡¯t care how the Rockefellers reacted and walked towards the exit. Just as they heaved a sigh of relief, Alex turned around and they tensed up again. ¡°My dad bought this manor for me. Rockefeller Group is mostly mine as well. John Rockefeller, I¡¯ll give you two months¡¯ time to return what you stole, every single penny of it. ¡°Your deadline is the 5th of October, on my dad¡¯s anniversary. I won¡¯t let you off easy if you fail to deliver.¡± Alex then turned around with his arms folded behind his back again and walked out of the manor. There was suddenly an uproar among the Rockefellers. ¡°Who does he think he is? Just who does he think he is? ¡°How dare he talk to me in such a tone?¡± John was furious, he started smashing anything he could get ahold of. He even smashed some expensive antiques into pieces. The other Rockefellers were angry as well. After William died, Rockefeller Group had been divided among the direct descendants of the Rockefeller family. Everyone had an equal share of the benefits and losses of thepany. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. If they were to obey Alex¡¯s orders and return Rockefeller Group to him, they would suffer a huge loss. Who would be willing to do so? ¡°Uncle, what do we do now?¡± ¡°He wants Rockefeller Group and the manor back, I will never agree to this!¡± All the Rockefellers started giving their opinions on this matter. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 104 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 104 John snorted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Rockefeller Group and this manor are owned by our Rockefeller family. Since William is dead, there is no way Alex could take everything back. He can keep on dreaming. I will give him nothing, not even a single penny!¡± ¡°But, he seems to have be more powerful. Did he actually train himself during the time he went missing? Look at the table¡­ it is said that only fighters could do that,¡± replied Carol. As part of California¡¯s high society, it was reasonable for Carol to know of the existence of such people ¡ªfighters. ¡°So what if he is one? What decade is he living in? No matter how powerful he is at fighting, he¡¯s still vulnerable and there¡¯s no way he could dodge an actual bullet,¡± John snorted. He red at Pepper Kimmich and thought, ¡®Two months? Hmph, within these two months I¡¯ll send both you and your cheap mom down to the depths of hell.¡¯ Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Instantly, he felt much better as his mind became clearer. However, he suddenly thought about Brock, who he had sent out, was yet to be seen. John immediately made a call to Brock, but it was not picked up. Looking at the shattered table, John had a bad feeling about it. ¡­. Driving, on his way to Maple Vi, Alex¡¯s cell phone rang. It was a call from Dorothy. ¡°Where are you now?¡± Dorothy wanted answers to the many questions she had in her head as she realized that she could not thoroughly understand Alex anymore. Alex said casually, ¡°Nowhere, I¡¯m at home.¡± Dorothy said, ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner tonight then, it is on me.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Alex thought for a while and said, ¡°Sure. I will bete though as I need to prepare Mom¡¯s medicine.¡± They agreed to meet in an Italian restaurant at seven o¡¯clock. Alex hurried home. At a nce, Brock¡¯s corpse had been cleared away and the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up. Charles Carter and his family were there as well, alongside Brittany and Waltz Fleur. The little girl Zoey was showing off her dancing moves, which were taught by her kindergarten teacher, in front of them. Seeing Alex, she ran over and hugged his leg and softly said, ¡°Uncle, you are finally here. Look what I got you? A chicken wing from KFC! It¡¯s really delicious but Mom is stingy and doesn¡¯t let me eat anymore. She said I can only have two every week. So, I ate one and saved the other for Uncle.¡± Alex lifted her up, his heart was full of warmth. Saving half of her favorite fried chicken wings for him was a big thing to the little girl. ¡°Thank you Zoey, but Uncle has already eaten a few fried chicken wings today. Why don¡¯t you have this yourself instead?¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± asked Zoey. ¡°Of course!¡± Alex replied. ¡°Well¡­well, I¡¯ll really eat it and there will be no more left!¡± The adults could not helpughing at Zoey¡¯s serious demeanor. Alex and Waltz¡¯s gazes met, and she silently gave him a look of relief, hinting that Brock¡¯s corpse had been taken care of without anyone from the Carter family noticing.¡± At this moment, Hailey Lawson said as she smiled, ¡°Alex, I was just talking to your mom about the freckle cream manufacturing factory that you¡¯re nning to open¡­ I happen to have a skincare products manufacturing nt, which is not in use now. You can just take it over first!¡± Alex was a little surprised. ¡°Hailey, what business do you actually run?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 105 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 105 Charles Carter answered the question instead with a smile, ¡°Hailey owns a beauty salon chain. Years ago, she wanted to develop her own products so she bought a small manufacturing nt with an R&D center to realize her ambitions. That being said, till now nothing everes of it, so it has been dormant for a while.¡± In fact, Hailey had actually discussed the matter with Brittany earlier. Otherwise, Hailey would not have mentioned it now. Brittany was also a capable businesswoman years ago so she could understand business operations very well. She said with a smile, ¡°Alex, after talking to Hailey, I think we can work together closely. Her beauty salon chain needs a gship product currently and I am confident we can just develop the right ultra- popr product for her.¡± What was the ultra-popr product? Something that would surpass the sales of the also-popr freckle cream produced by Rockefeller Group. That being said, Brittany did not reveal much about their ns. After all, only both her son and herself could intuitively understand some matters, and it was too early to make them public. ¡°Hailey¡¯s production facility is located in Michigan though.¡± Soon after, the Carters went on their ways, leaving Alex and Brittany in a private discussion. Brittany¡¯s gaze flitted momentarily at the door as she spoke in a low voice, ¡°So, who is that woman out there? Someone you had fun with while you were out drinking?¡± Earlier, she was knocked out by Brock, only to be moved into a room by Alex. She then woke up to find an unfamiliar beauty next to her, who said she was Alex¡¯s own bed- warming servant. It was quite the fright for Brittany nheless as she thought, ¡°Bed-warming servant? What decade is she living in? Most importantly, what is she here for? Think carefully, isn¡¯t she just a lover?¡± Alex was a married man and his wife was here before. It would not end well if she found out what went down here. Alex hurriedly exined, ¡°Mom, you have got it wrong. She¡¯s just my¡­ junior in martial arts. Yeah, she can be quite mischievous at times.¡± Alex had thought about the matter before. Lord Lex Gunther¡¯s identity was a littleplicated, and he wasmonly assumed to be a bad guy or a leader of an underground gang. Brittany would not want her son to get involved in any way whatsoever. Plus, Alex needed a suitable excuse to exin the derivation of his powers, which appeared all of a sudden. ¡°Junior? When did you start learning martial arts?¡± ¡°Back when you were still in aa. As for my master, he doesn¡¯t want his identity to be revealed, but I can say he is an extremely powerful character!¡± With that excuse, atst, Alex was no longer pursued on the topic. Then, Alex mentioned again the matter about Brock. Since John dared to order his men to kidnap both Brittany and Alex, he might actually do it again. Knowing his personality, he certainly would not let go of the fortunes in his hand easily¡­ Two months were given by Alex in order to apply psychological stress on John. When the time came, it would eventually turn into a mental torment. ¡°Rather than in California, I think it will be great for us to move our research and development efforts to Michigan, with Hailey¡¯s production facility over there. The Rockefellers have great influences and a network of contacts here in California, it will not be long until they find out what we are doing. We will make aeback when our product isunched.¡± After hearing his words, Brittany nodded as she felt the same. With that, Alex colluded with Waltz Fleur to make sure they were on the same page. ¡°I am your junior, huh?¡± Waltz was amused. ¡°Then, is it a bed-warming servant or junior?¡± Original from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You can be both a junior and bed-warming servant at the same time.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Can you teach me some of your moves then, senior?¡± Crap, Alex did not even know martial arts himself! All he had was the Force as his basics, while the rest were of medical arts. In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Waltz. Seeing Alex¡¯s inaction, Waltz gritted her teeth. After raising her legs and straddling on hisp, she said as she gently rocked her body, ¡°Senior, senior, can you teach me?¡± Alex was horrified by her actions. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 106 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 106 He looked straight ahead, but his gaze fell under Waltz¡¯s neck, and in that instant he felt as though he was greeted by an awe-inspiring view from a very high ce. Even though his mind said no the entire time, his body was far more honest. Suddenly, his hands were ced on her waist. ¡°Not that I refuse to teach you, it¡¯s just that your basics are too horrible.¡± Alex was flustered with rapid breathing and could not think straight. ¡°Oh, really? What should I do then? Senior, about the chakra pill you mentioned previously, what is it?¡± She rocked her body once again and spoke in a flirtatious voice. ¡°Well, the chakra pill is¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he heard a coughing from the stairs. It was Brittany, who had been standing by the staircase for some time, who looked at them with a surprised and awkward expression as she secretly thought, ¡°Brat, she¡¯s your junior in martial arts? Isn¡¯t she just a bed-warming junior?¡± Alex hurriedly pushed Waltz away in shock and said, ¡°Mom, that¡­. I¡¯ve made a dinner appointment with Dorothy. Got to go now!¡± ¡°Well, I just bought some takeaways on the way back. You both can have them for dinner tonight.¡± With that, he quickly escaped the vi. Aftering out of the vi, only then did he realize that he did not drive his car¡­ Reluctant to return, fearing that he might be nagged by his mother, so Alex took a taxi instead. Meanwhile, he was quite upset at his weak resolve. ¡°Am I a jerk who does not know how to refuse someone else¡¯s advances? But, wasn¡¯t Waltz a little too aggressive?¡± However, never did he ever think about the moment that he had helped Waltz to achieve an instant improvement in her powers, she made up her mind to be his bed-warming servant. After all, his capabilities were astounding and tempting to fighters, and they would definitely cause a huge stir if those cultivations were to be introduced to the realm of martial arts. When the time came, not only would beautifuldiese throwing themselves in his arms, but they would even willingly bear his children. Alex and Dorothy met at the entrance of the restaurant. Before they could enter the restaurant, Dorothy received an emergency call from ire. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Dorothy, is the Rockefeller currently with you?¡± Upset with her tone of voice, Dorothy retorted, ¡°Mom, what¡¯s with you? Alex is your son-inw, don¡¯t simply call him ¡®the Rockefeller¡¯.¡± ¡°Son-inw? I do not have such a son-inw! Would my son-inw hit my daughter? Ain¡¯t I tired of living for having such a son-inw? You two need to get yourselves home now so that I can punish him! Otherwise, don¡¯t you ever call me Mom!¡± ire was furious because she obviously knew that Beatrice was hit by Alex. Furthermore, knowing Beatrice, she would have exaggerated the entire incident. As Dorothy ended the call, she felt a throbbing headache. Alex heard all the conversations earlier, so he said, ¡°It is fine, let us go.¡± Dorothy looked at him apologetically. ¡°You just helped me take over the subsidiarypany in City South. I thought Mom would treat you better, yet¡­¡± ¡°Your sister must have said something. It is fine, what else can they do?¡± Alex made up his mind that Beatrice needed to learn her lesson, otherwise, she would take advantage of them, leaving them restless in the future. If he ever found that she fabricated nonsense this time, he would have to think of a way to restrain her. They entered the BMW M8, and Dorothy drove the car that was given by Alex. However, after entering the car, she drew closer and sniffed his clothes. She asked as her expression suddenly turned gloomy, ¡°I smell the perfume on your body, were you with Dr. Coney?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 107 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 107 The smell of perfume? Alex¡¯s mind buzzed for a while, and almost let the cat out of the bag. He could not possibly tell Dorothy that Waltz just sat on hisp and rocked her body on and on, infusing him with the scent of her perfume. He could still think straight, so he hurriedly exined, ¡°Of course not, I have not seen Dr. Coney at all today. As for the perfume¡­ I remember it now. It was Hailey¡¯s, I just hugged¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Beatrice eximed, ¡°You hugged Hailey?¡± Alex immediately corrected his words. ¡°Let me finish speaking. I hugged Hailey¡¯s daughter, Zoey. She had her mother¡¯s perfume scent on her too.¡± ¡°Is it so?¡± ¡°Of course, why don¡¯t you ask her yourself?¡± ¡°Nah, I trust you.¡± Alex quickly grabbed her delicate hands and said, ¡°Dorothy, I am so happy that you are so concerned for me, do you know that? During this period of time, I thought you didn¡¯t love me anymore, and I almost wanted to die.¡± Dorothy did not refuse his advances but looked at him affectionately instead. ¡°We are husband and wife and I will never fall for anyone else. Unless, you fall in love with someone else.¡± Slowly, Alex moved his lips closer to hers, and kissed her.Original from N?velDrama.Org. Of course, it was not their first kiss as their first kiss had already long gone. However, the moment their lips touched, a surge of ecstatic shock, in which a long time since felt, welled up in both of them. Just as Alex nned to move his hands upward, Dorothy¡¯s phone suddenly rang non-stop, as if urging her to answer. Both of them could not help but move apart. At a nce, it was a call from ire, demanding them to return home as soon as possible. Reluctantly, Alex started the car and headed for Assex Vi. However, even if ire were to verbally abuse himter, it had be the least of his worries as he reminisced the passionate kiss, after ten months, mere moments ago. He just needed to see her as a person who had gone mad. Smack! Never did Alex ever expect that ire charged at him and pped him on the face as he was about to remove Dorothy¡¯s heels, unguarded, after entering the house. She chided furiously, ¡°Trash! Ungrateful brat! You dared hit my daughter, I¡¯m going to kill you now!¡± Dorothy yelled, ¡°Mom, why did you hit him?¡± ire shouted, ¡°What about it, huh? I want to kill this trash too! This trash, who is he? How can he hit Beatrice again and again? If he¡¯s really that capable, go hit someone else or Lord Lex Gunther. What¡¯s so good about hitting women? Only trash would do that. Beatrice is only a student and your sister too! Only a brute like him would do such a thing!¡± Alex¡¯s eyes glistened and he was about to send his hand flying at ire but he held back with tremendous willpower. After all, that was his mother-inw. Dorothy was infuriated when she saw Beatrice, who was sitting on the couch and eating grapes, seemingly rejoicing in their misfortune. She immediately chided, ¡°Do you know what Beatrice did, Mom? She deserved it! I would have pped her if Alex did not do it. She dared to instigate Felix Shepherd to propose to me at mypany. I am a married woman, did she ever think about my feelings? Is she even a part of this family?¡± However, ire said, ¡°I knew it, what about it then? I was the one with the idea! Are you going to hit me too? I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so good about this trash! There¡¯s no future for both of you, you are only wasting your youth and life. He¡¯s not good for you at all. Felix is much better in many ways, plus, he is the young director of Pegasus International, with billions¡¯ worth of fortunes. You can have anything you want in the future, and you still have the opportunity to change your mind since you have not slept with this trash!¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Dorothy was truly livid. ¡°Mom, what do you see me as? Objects waiting to be sold? Don¡¯t you forget, only with Alex¡¯s help, I can only secure the subsidiarypany in City South, along with all its shares. Without him, we are living on nothing but air now!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 108 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 108 ire coldly snorted and threw a nasty nce at Alex. ¡°So what? It was just a one-time favor. Furthermore, I suspect that Charles Carter of Waylon Realty signed the contract only because he was attracted to your beauty. Then, you wanted to give him the credit so that I¡¯ll change my attitude toward him, am I right?¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± Dorothy was bereft of speech. Realizing that she could no longermunicate with ire, she tugged at Alex¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Go to my room, now.¡± ¡°Stop! What qualification does he even have to enter your room?¡± yelled ire. ¡°Because he is my legally-wedded husband.¡± ¡°No, I won¡¯t allow it. Only one person can ever step foot in your room, that is Felix Shepherd of Pegasus International. Now, I only recognize him as my son-inw.¡± ¡°Haha,¡± Alexughed with an indifferent expression while looking at ire calmly. He thought she would change her attitude a bit after all he had done for the Assex family. Yet, her arrogant countenance and those insults that she just threw were even worse¡­ as if she was showing her true colors with a showdown! As he thought about it, she would never ept him no matter how hard he tried or awed her with aplishments. Then, why should he put in the effort to win her approval? After hearing her words, Dorothy¡¯s face turned pale as rage welled up inside her. How could a mother utter such a word? How could she face her husband in the future? ¡°Fine!¡± She held Alex¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°I¡¯m not going back to my room, okay? From now on, I¡¯ll be moving out and I¡¯ll be sleeping with Alex tonight, on the same bed, in the same room, and do the things we should have done ten months ago!¡± Dorothy was a woman with dogged determination as well. Otherwise, she would not have stabbed her chest with a knife on that wedding day. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡­ How dare you?!¡± ¡°Why won¡¯t I?¡± At that moment, a car stopped right in front of the manor¡¯s entrance. A young, well-dressed gentleman came out of the car¡ªhe was Felix, the young director of Pegasus International. As she saw Felix, she rushed out barefoot to wee him, as if she just saw her dear lover. Earlier her face was full of rage, she immediately donned a gentle and warm-hearted expression and said, ¡°Oh my, it is you, Mr. Shepherd! What brings you here? I know it has been only a few days but Dorothy missed you a lot, and she kept talking in my ear about you!¡± Dorothy¡¯s expression darkened as she heard her mother¡¯s statement. Beatrice, on the other hand, came out leaping as she heard voices from outside. ¡°Look who it is, my beloved brother-inw! I kept calling you, why didn¡¯t you pick up my call? I thought something had happened to you. Come in,e in! I¡¯ll brew tea for you.¡± Alex looked at Felix, who wasing over, with an apathetic expression. Never did he expect that Felix, after what had transpired, would daree and pester his wife. Did he really not fear death? However, he felt strange as he did not understand why Felix had a sprig on his back. ire asked, ¡°Mr. Shepherd, why do you have a sprig on your back? Hurry, let me get it off. It¡¯s so dirty.¡± Felix sidestepped ire and scurried toward Alex instead. He kneeled on the ground with a thud and said, ¡°Rock¡­ Mr. Rockefeller, I came to offer my sincerest apologies!¡± ¡°What?!¡± ire covered her mouth in bewilderment, unable toprehend what had just happened. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 109 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. Original from N?velDrama.Org. 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! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 110 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 110 Smack! Smack! Alex did not go easy on Felix, andnded three heavyshes on his back. Threesh wounds immediately surfaced on Felix¡¯s back, and blood began seeping out from some of the wounds. Then, Alex threw the sprig away and said, ¡°Get up, remember what you said today.¡± Words of gratitude came out of Felix¡¯s mouth as he got up on his feet. He even took out a little gift box and handed it to Alex. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, thank you so much for the threeshes. I will always remember your teachings. Here¡¯s a little gift for you as a token of appreciation! Mr. Rockefeller, sorry for the bother and I¡¯ll be leaving! May you both live a long and happy life together.¡± After handing over the gift box to Alex, he turned around and left. Looking at Felix¡¯s disappearing silhouette, Alex secretly thought, ¡°He is a smart guy after all! Well, good for him, I will leave the Shepherds alone for now.¡± Felix was nowhere to be seen but ire and Beatrice were still in a state of confusion. Even Dorothy could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s with that guy, Alex? I do not understand.¡± Alex said with a smile, ¡°What do you not understand? Well, I had a little chat with him the other day and lectured him on life¡¯s philosophy, morals, and ethics. After all, he is a rough diamond that needs refinement. Immediately, after listening to my lectures, he realized his mistakes and came to apologize.¡± Beatrice rolled her eyes; as if she would believe him! Beatrice pointed at Alex and eximed, ¡°It is him! He must have used some dirty tricks to force bro¡­¡± She did not finish her sentence as Alex gave her a vicious re. ¡°Beatrice Assex, is your face feeling better?¡± asked Alex in a frigid voice. In that instant, Beatrice was reminded of the p previously. Realizing that the situation did not look good for her, as though her mother was powerless to protect her, she hurriedly ran into her room and locked herself in. Meanwhile, ire, who seemed to be greatly agitated, sat on the floor and wailed, ¡°Henry, what did I do to deserve this life? Why do I have to suffer such torment? Was I wrong? I only wanted a better life for our family and our daughter! Oh great, we have a useless son-inw who has contributed not a single penny to our family but just living off the family. Finally, there¡¯s a rich son-inw from the Shepherds but this trash just screwed up everything! I hate this trash!¡± Alex was infuriated listening to her rants. Even Dorothy was at a loss for words as her mother spoke of herte father like that. Enraged, Alex took out the check given to him by Edgar and mmed it on the table. ¡°You want money, right? Here are twenty million dors for you! Furthermore, I will prove to you that your daughter chose the right guy. I will make her the richest woman in California in a year¡¯s time! ¡°I am leaving now. Dorothy, get some rest.¡± ire finally returned to her senses long after Alex¡¯s departure. She looked at the check with glistening eyes and said, ¡°Twenty million dors, is it real or fake? It must be¡­ fake, right? How can that trash have so much money?¡± Dorothy inspected the check carefully and immediately frowned as the check was written by Pegasus International. Something came into her mind as she said, ¡°Mom, we cannot take this money.¡± ire snatched the check away and held it closely. ¡°Who says so? I don¡¯t care where the money comes from. Since he gave it to me, now it is mine! I have never seen so much money before! If it¡¯s real, I¡¯m going to be rich! I¡¯m going to the bank now.¡± ¡°Now it¡¯s night time and the bank is already closed.¡± ¡°I hope the dawn wille sooner¡­¡± Alex did not regret giving the check away. After all, the money was not his, to begin with. As long as it would shut ire up and make her treat him better in the future, that was all that mattered. Plus, his promise to make Dorothy the richest woman in California was not just an empty promise. With The Ultimate Book of Medicine¡¯s help, even if he could not use Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s fortune, he had the confidence to achieve it. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. It waste when he arrived home, after having his dinner somewhere else. His mother was asleep. He went back to his room. However, after switching on the lights to his room, he was almost shocked to death as a stunning beauty was lying on his bed. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 111 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 111 The stunning beauty in question was Waltz Fleur. At the moment, while lying in bed with a massive duvet wrapped around her body leaving only her head exposed and silky hair scattered, Waltz winked at Alex, who was walking in, with a sweet smile. Alex made sure that his mother was asleep before hurriedly shutting the door and said, in a lowered voice, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I am working!¡± Waltz replied with a faint smile. ¡°Work?¡± Alex was confused. ¡°Warming your bed! I¡¯m your bed-warming servant, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Alex¡¯s heart fluttered immediately, but he soon felt a headache due to the obstinate situation. Before he left the house previously, he was caught red-handed by Brittany and he had yet to make any exnation. If she saw them now, he would be in deep trouble and would not be able to convince her of his innocence! ¡°Warm your own bed! Get out of my room.¡± Alex grabbed the duvet and was just about to flip it open. However, Waltz held onto it tightly and said coyly, ¡°Don¡¯t do it, I am not wearing anything.¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± Alex¡¯s eyes were wide-opened, staring at the duvet, as if he could see through the incredible view beneath it. Hyperventting, a wild thought appeared in his mind. ¡°Just flip it open and pounce on her. She¡¯s already taken the initiative to invite you, what are you waiting for? Are you a eunuch?¡± Meanwhile, Waltz gently winked, as if enticing him to hurry and jump into the bed. Through tremendous perseverance, Alex smacked his lips and willed himself to hurriedly take a few steps back. ¡°Get out, otherwise, I¡¯ll get mad. Who needs a bed-warming servant in such hot weather?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Waltz responded and abruptly flipped the duvet open. ¡°Crap!¡± Alex yelled, instinctively wanting to turn his face away, but his gaze, like a ma, was fixated on Waltz. She did say that she did not wear anything underneath. Yet, he was greeted with immense disappointment. Liar! Was she not wearing clothes? Furthermore, she was bundled up in neat clothes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you are not wearing anything?¡± ¡°Oh senior, you look very disappointed! Come on, I was just testing you, but I didn¡¯t know you are such a pervert! Hmph!¡± teased Waltz. ¡°I¡­¡± She continued, ¡°Senior, you have yet to tell me all about the chakra pills! If you let me in on the secret, I will let you have a peek!¡± Smack! Alex sent his palm on Waltz¡¯s way. ¡°If you make such a joke again, I¡¯ll send you back,¡± Alex said irritatedly, not knowing if he was annoyed at Waltz¡¯s teasing or her being all dressed up. ¡°Chakra pills are elixirs that can enhance a fighter¡¯s chakra.¡± ¡°Elixirs, eh?¡± Waltz dejectedly sighed. ¡°Elixirs are rarely to be found nowadays. I heard that only those great families in martial arts and some renowned sect leaders could find them. Furthermore, only alchemists can refine those elixirs, it¡¯s not something you can possess even with a bucket load of money!¡± Alex could only nod and say, ¡°Indeed. It¡¯s rtively easy to produce chakra pills but the hardest part is the sourcing of ingredients, very rare ones to be exact.¡± ¡°You know how to make them? Are you an alchemist?¡± ¡°Umm¡­ I happen to know how to make the pills.¡± ¡°Awesome. Just tell me the ingredients, I¡¯ll go and collect them immediately.¡± Waltz was thrilled at the idea of enhancing her cultivation base. Waltz danced in joy. Then, she leaped onto Alex and wrapped her arms around his neck, with her body sticking close to his as if she was a girlfriend with tender loving care. ¡°Hey, try not to get that close to me.¡± Once again, the mes of lust, which was just suppressed, had immediately ignited in Alex¡¯s body. ¡°Tell me, and I will leave you alone.¡± ¡°Wild ginseng of above fifty years old, Ganoderma mushrooms of above twenty years old, Aleuritopteris grass, seven-leaves lotuses, and musks. If possible, for the first two ingredients, the older, the better. That¡¯s all you need, so can you get off my back now?¡± Waltz turned her eyes as if she was trying to remember the ingredients¡¯ names. Then, she copped a feel of Alex¡¯sher region as she chuckled before releasing her grasp on him. ¡°Senior, I heard that you are still a virgin even after marrying Dorothy Assex. I was skeptical at first, but not anymore! It¡¯s so incredible!¡±Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 112 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 112 Before Alex could get mad, Waltz opened the door. ¡°I will be leaving now. I¡¯lle tomorrow after gathering the ingredients.¡± Alex breathed a sigh of relief after Waltz¡¯s departure. He seemed rxed, but also a little rueful. ¡°That¡­ witch!¡± After getting teased by Waltz multiple times, Alex was at his limit. He quickly ran into the bathroom and took a cold shower. Waltz was actually a few years older than Alex. Being a carefree mature belle, a fighter and coupled with the fact that she was a powerful chieftain in the underworld, it was no surprise to see her to be a little more touchy-feely with others. Away from Alex¡¯s residence, Waltz felt slightly flustered as she touched her face. It was her first time teasing a man like that. However, when she recalled Alex¡¯s reaction when she flipped open the duvet, she could not help feeling amused and muttered, ¡°I should have stripped then.¡± Back at Hell¡¯s Angels, Waltz, who was unable to suppress her excitement at the transcendence of her cultivation base, went straight for the training ground. At this time, many people were sparring and training in the training ground. One of them was Azure Storm. He stood in a raised arena, facing three opponents. Wham! Wham! Wham! Three of the men from Thousand Miles Conglomeratested only a short while before being overwhelmed by Azure, and they could no longer get up. ¡°Master Azure is so mighty!¡± ¡°Master Azure, we are no match for you. Please, can we stop sparring?¡± The few men cowered timidly, reluctant to spar with Azure as that would only be a one-sided ughter. Azure said with a cold expression, ¡°No. don¡¯t you all dare to ck. I will fight five now!¡± A burst of bitterness was felt in the crowd. At the moment, Waltz gently leaped onto the arena. ¡°Brother Azure, what good is it to bully them? Let me fight you instead.¡±. ¡°Waltz, you are back?!¡± Why was Azure training in the training ground in the middle of the night? It was all because he was disturbed by the fact that Waltz went to Alex¡¯s and even wanted to stay overnight, so he, who felt dejected, needed an outlet to vent his frustration. As soon as he saw her, he said in joy, ¡°Great, I will give you an advantage by using only a single hand myself.¡± Waltz answered, ¡°No need.¡± As she finished speaking, she charged straight at Azure. Wham! Wham! Wham! Azure was initially arrogant and confident that he could beat her with just a single hand, without going all out, but never did he expect that he was almost sent flying out of the arena immediately by Waltz, to the delight of the spectators. Startled, Azure eximed, ¡°Waltz, you¡­ are already at Advanced Royal rank?¡± ¡°It¡¯s incredible, isn¡¯t it? So, you are still going to use one hand now?¡± ¡°Bring it on!¡± Both of them exchanged blows, and the battle ended in a draw. Even so, Azure was very surprised. Even Lord Lex was alerted and quickly came to the training ground. Azure was an Advanced Royal fighter, and because of his very presence, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was able to secure their dominance in California¡¯s underworld. Now that Waltz had reached Advanced Royal as well, their might would be redoubled. ¡°Alex helped me in the leveling of the cultivation base. Plus, he treated my wounds.¡± ¡°I came back to gather ingredients. ording to Alex, he can make something called the chakra pill, it can further improve my powers after consuming it.¡± ¡°Wha¡ª¡± Lord Lex and Azure¡¯s jaws dropped after listening to Waltz¡¯s reply. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you¡¯re a man of miracles!¡± muttered Lord Lex. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t there be a huge favor to pay for the things he did for you?¡± Azure¡¯s eyes glistened. Waltz blushed. ¡°Now, I am his¡­ bed-warming servant.¡± Azure clenched his fists with intense anger, while Lord Lex eximed in approval, ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡±Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 113 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 113 After taking a bath, Alex sat on his bed. In his hands was a gift box of unknown content, given by Felix Shepherd, which he did not open just yet. ¡°Could it be a watch?¡± Alex muttered to himself. He was not interested in watches at all as he found them cumbersome to be worn. As he opened the box, a green sh greeted his eyes. It was not a watch but a piece of lush green emerald. Born into a wealthy family, he was no stranger to luxurious gemstones. At a nce, the particr piece, sculptured into the form of a unicorn, looked extremely expensive and was as big as a child¡¯s fist. Original from N?velDrama.Org. Holding the emerald sculpture in his hand, he felt afortable sensation. In the next second, he was startled as he felt a stream of energy radiating from within the emerald. ¡°What is this? Could it be¡­ the essence?¡± The Ultimate Book of Medicine was an all-epassing approach to the cultivation of medical martial arts. It also described that the Force could be enhanced by absorbing the essence from heaven and earth and various forms of spiritual energy present in the human world, resulting in the enhancement of the cultivation base in one¡¯s self. He did not require the additional essence of heaven and earth to speed up his cultivation as he received the breath of the gods from his ancestors earlier. However, with the aid of the essence, he would have achieved greater results in his cultivation with minimal effort. Alex was shocked. Caressing the unicorn sculpture, he sucked the essence into his body using the Force. In that instant, the Chi inside his body fluctuated rapidly, as if a stream of pure, serene energy flowed throughout his body. It was reallyfortable. ¡°Amazing! It is indeed the essence! Again!¡± Alex sat on the bed and continuously absorbed the essence from the emerald; it took him a little over half an hour to finish absorbing all its essence. It was also at this moment a vibrating sound could be heard as the Force in his body had evolved, entering third base. ¡°The essence is wonderful, I need to get myself more of these!¡± The emerald unicorn sculpture, which looked lively in lustrous green earlier, now looked dull and subdued after having all of its energy siphoned away. The next day in Assex Vi. Dorothy left early for work and Beatrice went to school for sses, leaving only ire in the vi, sleeping through all the way to ten in the morning. Why? That was because the twenty-million-dor check kept her excitedly awakest night. Even though the mother-daughter trio lived in a vi, they survived solely on Dorothy¡¯s paycheck. Dorothy was previously the general manager of the subsidiarypany in City South, but most of the earned money was given to the Assex family, so they had not much money on hand. She would be content with just a few hundred thousand dors. Of course, she was thrilled to see the twenty-million-dor check. So, she stayed up until four in the morning, and fell asleep after she could no longer keep herself awake. Furthermore, the check was ced firmly under her pillow, fearing Dorothy would snatch and return it to Alex. The first thing that she did after waking up, was looking for the check. Fortunately, it was still there. However, there were a few creases on it. ire thought that was because she identally caused them during her sleep. ire did not put much thought into it. Skipping breakfast, she excitedly went straight to the bank wanting to cash out the check. And coincidentally met Madam White, her neighbor, at the bank. Madam White¡¯s daughter recently got married to a general manager of apany. Every time she saw ire, she would brag about her sessful son-inw while mocking ire¡¯s son-inw, Alex, with a disdained look. It angered ire every time, so much so that she would then vent her anger in Alex when she got home. As usual today, Madam White began bragging about her son-inw giving her two hundred thousand dors of pocket money for shopping and beauty care. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 114 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 114 Lastly, she said with a smug face, ¡°My daughter is really fortunate for having such an amazing and capable husband. She¡¯s just destined to live a rich life, unlike your Dorothy, she¡¯s pretty but she found a useless trash who only lives off her. What is the point of it? You can only me her for having poor taste in marrying such a man and living a hard and impoverished life. So, make sure your Dorothy has better taste in men in the future.¡± ire was bridled with anger and wanted to hit her really hard. Even though she hated Alex, to the extent that she hoped that he would divorce Dorothy as soon as possible, her dignity was at stake now. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Taking out immediately the twenty-million-dor check from her purse, she said, ¡°Who lives an impoverished life? What¡¯s so good about two hundred thousand dors? Gah! Look at what my son-in- law got me, a twenty-million-dor check! Have you ever seen twenty million dors? Two hundred thousand is all that¡¯s needed to get you high and mighty? I¡¯m living a super-rich life then? Haha!¡± Madam White drooled with envy seeing the check. ire was immensely pleased in joy, for the first time, she thought that Alex was not that despicable. However, when it was her turn at the bank counter, the bank teller looked at the creases on the check and shook her head. ¡°Madame, look at that crease here and the stamp has been defaced, we cannot process your check.¡± ¡°What do you mean I cannot cash it out?¡± ire was shocked and felt helpless. ¡°Why can¡¯t it be cashed out? Isn¡¯t it just a slight crease? It¡¯s not a big deal, or are you intentionally trying to give me trouble, huh? Cash it now, or else I¡¯ll file aint to your manager.¡± The bank teller shook her head again. ¡°I am sorry but there is really no way we can process it.¡± Madam White, who was standing aside, heartilyughed as she heard those words, ¡°So that¡¯s the twenty-million-dor check that your son-inw gave you, oh great! Super-rich life! But, it¡¯s too bad that you can¡¯t even cash out the check. It must be fake then! Hahaha! Just admit that you have a useless son-inw, how dare you put up an ostentatious act in front of me?¡± ire was livid as she asked the bank teller, ¡°Then¡­ Tell me, is this check legitimate?¡± She also began to doubt its authenticity. However, the bank teller said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, madame. I cannot verify it since the stamp on the check has been defaced. So, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a legitimate check.¡± Surrounded by Madam White¡¯s mockery and taunt, ire left the bank dejectedly. And immediately, intense hatred for Alex roared within herself. ¡°I knew it, it¡¯s fake! How dare this trash give me a fake check and make me happy for nothing while suffering such a great shame. Oh, you are in deep trouble, Alex!¡± Infuriated, ire got in her car and prepared to head home. However, a car came out of nowhere and stopped at the junction, resulting in driving difficulty as the broad road had been narrowed by it. ire was maneuvering the steering wheel as she continuously cursed Alex. However, with a slip of the hand, she hit the other car with a bang and shattered its heamps. ¡°Damn it, do you even know how to drive?¡± a tall, man chided. ¡°This is a Rolls-Royce that¡¯s worth twenty million dors!¡± ire was already in a bad mood as she immediately retorted, ¡°Why do you have to care about how I drive? Rather, why do you stop your car here? Who lets you park at such a ce? Serves you right! Now, move your car elsewhere or I am going to hit you again!¡± However, the man was incensed. After rushing forward and dragging her out of her car, he gave her four hard ps on the cheek. ¡°How dare you hit me?¡± ire was dumbfounded. ¡°I should say that to you! Damn, how dare you crash into the Yowell family¡¯s car and still be so smug afterward? Pay up two million dors for the damages, or I will break your leg!¡± With that, he smacked ire on the face again. ire¡¯s flesh was tender, so there was no way that she could endure those hard ps. She was, at the moment, battered and bruised, with blood streaming down her face. ire trembled with anger, but more so of fear. The onlookers began crowding around her and started discussing among themselves. ¡°Oh my, that is a Rolls-Royce Phantom! I heard it is sold in the market for twenty million dors. A single ram into the car could cost the price of a house!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this car owned by the Yowell family? Thisdy is really unfortunate for ramming into the car of the Yowell family, she¡¯s in deep trouble now.¡± The man looked at ire apathetically. ¡°I¡¯m giving you a huge favor with justpensation of two million dors. Hurry and pay up.¡± ire was stupefied after hearing thements made by the onlookers. The Yowell family was ranked second among the four prominent families of California, which was several times superior than the Assex family. How could she afford to anger them at all? ¡°I¡­. I don¡¯t have that much money. Ah, don¡¯t hit me, but my daughter has the money!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 115 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 115 ¡°What? Mom, say clearly. You were involved in a car ident? How are you, are you hurt?¡± Dorothy¡¯s heart raced wildly as she answered ire¡¯s phone call. ire replied stammeringly, ¡°Well, uh, I am fine, but, uh, I ¡­ crashed into a Rolls-Royce owned by the Yowell family.¡± ¡°A Rolls-Royce? Good lord!¡± Dorothy cried out. ire said, ¡°Come quick, my good daughter. I know you have a lot of cash on you. Get that ungrateful Alex toe over too, the owner is quite fierce.¡± Since Alex was the only male in the family, naturally he was the first person that came to her mind in situations like this. Alex was also shocked after receiving the news from Dorothy. They arrived at the crash site, almost at the same time, half an hourter. Seeing ire, who was hardly recognizable, sitting on the floor with a swollen face and a bleeding nose, Dorothy cried as she rushed forward, ¡°Mom, Mom! Are you okay?¡± Alex frowned. At first, he was a little delighted in ire¡¯s suffering, after all, he did not like her at all. However, he felt distressed by Dorothy¡¯s sorrowful cries. Plus, she was still his mother-inw. Hating her is one matter, but it was an entirely different matter when she got hit by someone else. Before Alex could speak, the owner of the Rolls-Royce spoke while looking at him with a hostile expression, ¡°So are you her family members? Finally you havee, so now pay for the damages! Four million dors!¡± ¡°What four million dors? Didn¡¯t you just say two million dors?¡± ire stood up immediately as she could not sit around and ept such extortion. Not even deigning to look at her, the man looked at his fingers as he said indifferently. ¡°Well, that was before. I had to wait for half an hour here for you all toe. Do you think that you don¡¯t need to pay for the waiting time? What is it, are you trying to rip the Yowells off?¡± As ire heard his words, she was left tongue-tied, with her mouth agape. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The onlookers shook their heads and looked at Alex and Dorothy with sympathy and condolence in their eyes. Those who offended the Yowell family might suffer a worse consequence than offending Lord Lex. How could normal people beparable with them? The difference was too vast. At the moment, the man looked at Alex with a faint smile. ¡°Since both of you drove M8 over here, you should be able to fork out four million dors, right? I am warning you, do not mess with the Yowells, or else you wille to a bad end!¡± Alex looked at him with a calm expression. Finally, he uttered, ¡°Did you hit my mother-inw?¡± ¡°I sure did! Why? Are you going to hit back?¡± The man replied gleefully in a provoking manner. ¡°I am d you are honest.¡± Alex nodded. He slowly approached the man, taking one step at a time. The man lifted the corner of his mouth and broke into a grin, as if he had seen the most absurd scene unfolding right in front of his eyes, but a dash of maliciousness glistered in the depth of his eyes. After all, he was a fighter¡ªa Beginner Royal fighter. Was it not a walk in the park to him in dealing with a normal person? An old man amidst the crowd spoke out, ¡°Hold your horses, young man. This is not worth it at all! Think about your family! Compromise will make a conflict much easier to be resolved.¡± Alex kindly smiled at him but kept walking ahead. The old man shook his head, ¡°Ignore the wisdom of your elders at your own peril!!¡± Some others in the crowd also disyed simr sentiments. ¡°This young man is vigorous yet ignorant!¡± The man from the Yowells grinned. He lunged forward with a kick just as Alex got closer in about a distance of two meters. ¡°Alex, watch out!¡± Dorothy yelled to warn him. The hearts of the onlookers raced wildly as well. In the eyes of other persons, the kick was done at lightning speed, but to Alex, it was as slow as a snail. After all, he was at the third base of the Force, not only his Chi had multiplied significantly, but his speed, strength and defense also had far surpassed the ones before. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 116 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 116 Alex gently raised his left hand and immediately intercepted the kick. He drew closer to the man as his body moved away from the kick. The man instinctively shivered in shock. ¡°He is fast, how did he do it?¡± In the next second, his face was engulfed by Alex¡¯s right hand and being pressed to the back. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Crash! The man¡¯s head was mmed into the window of the Rolls-Royce. The crowd watched the scene, with their mouths agape in astonishment. The kind old man, who gave his advice earlier, nearly had his eyes popped out of his head as he saw the scene. Then, Alex grabbed the man¡¯s head and drove it down the window again. In fact, it was a smash. Bang! Bang! Bang! He consecutively did it three more times until the Rolls-Royce¡¯s windows were shattered and the man¡¯s head was bloodied and badly bruised, then only did he stop. He said with a cold expression, ¡°She is my wife. How dare you make my wife cry, do you know how big of a sin you havemitted?¡± The crowd wailed, bereft of speech. So, the reason that guy went on a rampage was not because of his mother-inw, who was beaten to a pulp, but his teary-eyed wife. He must have loved his wife very much, did he not? Dorothy was at a loss for words. She clearly knew, just a single word from the great Yowell family could destroy the existence of the Assex family with a cinch. Now that Alex had hit a member of the Yowells, his actions might just be the impetus for the Assex family¡¯s downfall. Though after seeing her mother¡¯s miserable plight, Dorothy was all for Alex¡¯s retaliation. There were lines that should never be crossed. Yet, as ire was overflowing with fretfulness, she thought otherwise, ¡°Alex, you trash. Don¡¯t you know how powerful the Yowell family is?¡± After quickly getting on to her feet, she rushed forward and pped Alex¡¯s face. Damn! Never did he expect ire¡¯s sudden antics as he was busy dealing with the man from the Yowells, who acts ostentatiously. He managed to dodge most of the p, with the fingers gently brushed against his cheeks, but to the onlookers, it was a forceful blow on his face. Malicious insults came out of her mouth. ¡°Alex, You foolish trash! How dare you hit someone from the Yowell family, huh? Did you even look at yourself in the mirror? You are just an abandoned son from the Rockefeller family, without any capability or power. Now you¡¯re causing trouble to the Assex family, are you trying to lead us to our downfall? Get on your knees and apologize to him!¡± Alex opened his eyes wide. ¡°What did you say?¡± At the moment, someone in the crowd spoke up, ¡°I remember now, this man is the son ofte William Rockefeller from Rockefeller Group. After his father¡¯s death, he has been living off his wife in the Assex family for survival.¡± ¡°Damn, it¡¯s really him!¡± Suddenly, plenty of nasty looks and disrespectful gazes were cast at him. For someone like him to retaliate against the great Yowell family, was he trying to get himself killed? The man from the Yowells, who was fearful just a while ago, instantly found some courage in the onlookers¡¯ backing and looked at Alex with disdain as he raised his chin. ¡°Brat, you¡¯re dead meat if you ever offend the Yowells. So, you should listen to your mother-inw and prostrate before me for a humble apology. Perhaps I will let you off the hook this time. Otherwise, you, and your family members, will suffer the ruthlessness of the Yowell family!¡± The old man earlier interjected, ¡°Sigh, young man. I just advised you earlier but you refused to listen. Impulsive actions will only result in mistakes. Hope you¡¯ll know your failure to not act recklessly if you don¡¯t have the capability. A humble apology is the wisest choice now.¡± Alex grunted at the old man and then he turned his attention toward the man from the Yowells. ¡°You want me to prostrate before you and say sorry, or you will harm my family?¡± The man nodded. ¡°That is right! Trust me, the Yowells have such capabilities, you do not want to invoke the wrath of the Yowells!¡± ¡°Oooh, I am so scared!¡± Alex stuck his finger in his ear and said, ¡°But, I don¡¯t believe it, try me!¡± With that, he then proceeded to poke the man with his finger filled with earwax. After that, he gave him a good, hard p across the face, to the horror of the crowd. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 117 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 117 Alex despised the people who threatened his family the most. As such, it was an extra forceful p. Smack! The man from the Yowells was in a daze instantly, spitting blood along with a couple of teeth, after being hit with that heavy p. He was almost knocked out as his head hit the door of the car. The onlookers were dumbfounded at such a scene. Grieving at Alex¡¯s impulse action after refusing to listen to advice, many shook their heads in disappointment and secretly thought, ¡®This is nothing but an empty disy of strength. However, the Yowells are not someone that you should ever offend. The harder you hit, the worse the consequences you will sufferter.¡¯ ire screamed in disbelief, as if she was on the verge of going mad. Just because the trash knew some moves, he could be cocky and arrogant? He would only bring the Assex family down with his antics! She charged at him and was about to smack him, waking him up from his antics. Alex looked at her with a vicious gaze and said, ¡°Dorothy, bring her to the hospital, quick.¡± Dorothy was extremely worried but she had never seen such a solemn expression on Alex. Immediately, she nodded and dragged ire into her car. However, ire chided, ¡°I want everyone here to be my witness! This wretched, abandoned child of the Rockefellers has been staying at my house and living off my daughter solely ever since their marriage. Some time ago, my daughter had divorced him, so everything he did today has nothing to do with the Assex family!¡± Dorothy¡¯s expression darkened immediately and she dragged her mother into the car with great force, to prevent her from spewing more nonsense. At the instant, the crowd reacted differently after hearing the spicy statement by ire: some felt contempt; some felt disdain; some felt sympathy. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Who would have thought Alex, who was supposed to stand up for his mother-inw, would not only get beaten by her, but she also berated him in the public. ¡°I heard that ever since William Rockeller passed away in the car ident, Alex has be a decadent son-inw. Not only has he been working as a nanny at his mother-inw¡¯s house, but he also dares not retaliate against the scolding and humiliation by his mother-inw every day. It seems like the rumors are true after all.¡± Someone whispered among the crowd, but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone else. Alex nced at the crowd with an indifferent expression. Why should he bother himself with these normal people? With The Ultimate Book of Medicine¡¯s help, he would reach transcendence with extraordinary abilities in the future. When the time came, these people were nothing but little, harmless ants to him. In the car, Dorothy started the engine as she said, ¡°Mom, how could you say that to Alex? He came to help you, and we have not divorced yet.¡± ¡°Help? I beg to differ! Are the Yowells someone that he can piss off? It¡¯s fine if he¡¯s the only one to suffer the consequenceter, I do not want us to get dragged down because of his immature actions!¡± ire replied angrily. ¡°Tell me, what is going on?¡± ¡°You want to know? It¡¯s because that trash dared to give me a fake check, with twenty million dors! How dare he do that? Not only did I lose sleep over it for nothing, but I was also mocked by that cheap Madam White from the next door. So, I was in a fit of anger and identally crashed into the Rolls- Royce.¡± ¡°Fake check?¡± After taking a nce, Dorothy was immediately speechless. ¡°Mom, you folded the check, and it¡¯s Alex¡¯s fault?¡± Meanwhile, the crowd surrounding Alex began to disperse as they thought it was the end of the dispute. What awaited Alexter would be the severe punishment from the Yowell family. However, a youngdy with huge racks, wearing an exquisite suit and a pair of red high heels, exited the bank at the moment. Her dressing was not the main focus, but those that were beneath her on her white shirt, as if she had put two water polo balls underneath. Everyone else was afraid that she would fall down as she walked, due to the unstable bnce of her body. Seeing the state of the Rolls-Royce, she quickly rushed over. As thedy saw the injured man, she immediately eximed in surprise, ¡°Jeremiah Yowell?!¡± Thedy shouted at the man from the Yowells, but he lied on the ground, enervated, and unable to pick himself up after getting beaten by Alex. ¡°Did you hit my guy from the Yowells?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 118 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 118 Thedy took off her sunsses, ring viciously at Alex. Her grandeur changed instantly as well, with an overflowing hostile aura. Alex was a little taken aback as he did not expect that thedy was a fighter too. Furthermore, she was of Intermediate Royal, a rank higher than the man earlier, Jeremiah Yowell. ¡°Who are you?¡± asked Alex with an indifferent expression. Before thedy could speak, the old man earlier responded instead. ¡°She is the favorite granddaughter of the head of the Yowell family, Keith Yowell. I think she¡¯s Michelle Yowell!¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s really her!¡± ¡°To be that fortunate enough for offending the little devil from the Yowells, that Rockefeller guy is in deep trouble now¡­¡± ¡°Hush, keep your voice down. Don¡¯t you want to live?¡± A discussion broke out in the crowd of onlookers. Even though they spoke in hushed voices, Alex had no issue picking up what they said. After all, being born and raised in California, he was used to being a rich heir in California, so he was well informed about the news in the social circles. Of course, there was no way that he had not heard of the great name of Michelle Yowell from the Yowell family! However, Michelle¡¯s personality was opposite to the gentleness of her name. She was a gang leader in middle school, leading a bunch of schoolgirls and picking fights with high school students. Not just that, she was extremely adept at fighting and once brought Nichs Hudson, Alex¡¯s friend, to tears. Previously, Alex was oblivious but now he realized that she was a fighter herself. However, Michelle took off herrge sunsses, which covered about half of her face, revealing an attractive and youthful face, as if she was a belleing straight out of anime. ¡°I apud your courage for beating up my guy from the Yowells. Come, fight me instead!¡± Her beauty dovetailed nicely with the gentleness of her name though. After taking a nce at her, he shook his head and said, ¡°I am not fighting you. Man, you are sick.¡± ¡°What did you just say? How dare you humiliate me! You¡¯re the sick one!¡± Original from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You¡¯re really sick.¡± ¡°Ah, damn it! I don¡¯t care whoever you are, I, Michelle Yowell, am going to beat you into a pulp.¡± Michelle was livid. After letting out a loud shriek, she lunged at Alex with a heavy punch. ¡°Such a nimble, quick punch!¡± The onlookers eximed. Alex stood firm on his ground, until Michelle¡¯s fist was inches away from his body, only then did he gently raise his left hand and intercepted her punch. However much force she exerted, Alex was unmoved. ¡°What?!¡± Shocked, Michelle raised her leg, intending to kick Alex. Alex parried her kick with his leg and pushed forward, shoving her right up the car doors without any route of retreat. She did a left jab but was intercepted by Alex once again. It turned out that he leaned in on her against the car doors in the broad daylight. Everyone else was shocked, bereft of speech, seeing the scene unfolding in front of their eyes. The old man earlier had his beards trembled and his eyes were filled with fears. Alex Rockfeller dared to touch the little devil from the Yowell family, he was really beyond salvation. Even God would not be able to save him this time, he would be dead meat. ¡°Get your hands off me, jerk! Come fight me again if you dare!¡± Michelle yelled and spit at Alex, but his quick reflexes saved him. ¡°Michelle Yowell, right? A wild woman indeed. I see why Peter Walker wanted to serve under you. However, you are no match for me with such inept, mediocre talent.¡± Alex said indifferently. ¡°You know Peter Walker?¡± ¡°He is just trash.¡± Alex snickered. Michelle replied, ¡°You¡­¡± He took a nce at her chest again andmented, ¡°I was being honest when I said you are sick. Aren¡¯t you feeling shortness of breath, heart pain and palpitations, and shoulder cramps now? You¡¯re gravely sick! I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be dead after exerting yourself, and I¡¯ll be the responsible person for your death!¡± A brief pauseter, he continued. ¡°Let us call it a day. I do not see anything more from you. Hurry and pay up. Twenty million dors would be reasonablepensation for hitting my mother-inw, making my wife cry, and wasting my time.¡± What? After crashing the twenty-million-dor Rolls-Royce and beating the owner into a pulp, and now he asked for apensation of twenty million dors in return? The onlookers, who were standing aside, were bewildered with their mouth agape, as if they were in a dream. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 119 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 119 ¡°Let Michelle go! ¡°Brat, you have no idea what you did today! You, your entire family, your friends, and everyone you know will suffer the consequences of your foolish action!¡± Jeremiah got up on his feet and shouted with intense fury as he pointed at Alex. Alex¡¯s suppressed rage was once again ignited as he looked at Jeremiah like he was already dead. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°The Yowell family is going down just because of what you said just now!¡± Alex said coldly. Jeremiahughed. ¡°What a joke! The Yowell family is going down? Who do you think you are? How dare¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Alex sent another good, hard p his way. Jeremiah¡¯s head dropped and hit the hood of the car with a thud. The next moment, he slumped limply to the ground as he went unconscious. After releasing Michelle from his grasp, he proceeded to open the door of the Rolls-Royce and said, ¡°Get in, you drive.¡± Michelle was befuddled. ¡°What are you doing? Where are we going?¡± Alex said, ¡°To meet your grandfather at Yowell Manor, and reason the matter out.¡± The incident that happened today had to bepletely resolved from the root cause of the problem. After all, the Yowells were powerful presences. If they really wanted to execute their revenge on his loved ones, it would be troublesome even for Alex. Michelle¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Everything Alex did was truly outrageous andckedmon sense. What was his mind made of? Was he crazy? However, after rolling her eyes, she immediately nodded and secretly thought, ¡°To Yowell Manor, oh great. There are many fighters in the Lowell family who are even superior to me. You will taste their great power, don¡¯t even think that you will be able toe out unscathed.¡± Afterward, to everyone else¡¯s astonishment, Alex entered the Rolls-Royce Phantom as the car, driven by Michelle, and they sped away heading for Yowell Manor. The old man earlier sighed as he shook his head, ¡°Sigh, this son of William Rockefeller. I do not know if he is an omnipotent powerhouse or just a peerless lunatic.¡± Some said, ¡°Omnipotent powerhouse? Forget about it, I think he¡¯s most probably a peerless lunatic. If he is a powerhouse, he would not live off the Assexes in the first ce.¡± Some also said, ¡°Such madness. He¡¯s really a lunatic! Such a person usually won¡¯tst long!¡± ¡­ The Rolls-Royce sped along the streets. The other drivers were extremely frightened, seeing the Rolls-Royce speeding recklessly on the streets. identally hitting the car might cost a fortune. Many drivers were livid as they started cursing at the Rolls-Royce, ¡°Are you trying to get us killed? What¡¯s so great about being a rich fe? Hope you¡¯ll get into an ident soon.¡± Or so they thought. Michelle was a fierce driver but she was greatly skilled, so the twenty-million-dor Rolls-Royce Phantom really lived up to its name on the road with her driving skills. It took no time for them to reach Yowell Manor. Yowell Manor was reallyrge. Furthermore, it was muchvish and bigger than Rockefeller Manor. The car entered the gates and only stopped when it came upon arge crowd of people. Michelle honked a few times and then leaped out of the car. ¡°Mydy!¡± ¡°Is there any order, mydy?¡± ¡°Why are you in a rush, Michelle?¡± The crowd hurried forward and surrounded Michelle. That was not just because Michelle was a stunning beauty and her supreme identity, but also¡­ because of her devilish personality. Nobody dared to anger her in any way, so they usually coaxed her like a child, trying their best to be on her good side. Through the car window, Alex saw the crowd. Unexpectedly, everyone in the crowd was a fighter. The one with the greatest cultivation base among the crowd, to his surprise, was of Advanced Royal. ¡°Could it be that the Yowell family is a family in martial arts?¡± He really had no idea previously, but what difference did it make now? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 120 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 120 Michelle Yowell pointed at the Rolls-Royce. ¡°That idiot inside the car hit mine and even hurt Jeremiah. Not only does he want me topensate for twenty million dors, but he even cursed our family! He insisted on going to our house to seek justice for Grandpa!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone thought they had a hearing problem. They wondered how such an obnoxious person could survive in California! Out of nowhere, someone shouted, ¡°Are you still dreaming? Perhaps you¡¯re tired of living that you¡¯re here to challenge the Yowells! I¡¯m gonna find out what makes you so arrogant!¡± Sean Yowell was the one yelling, a generally hot-tempered man. He was the better martial arts practitioner amongst the rest at the scene. He yanked the car door open rudely and red in menace. ¡°Get out of the car now, you brute!¡± Alex was calm and expressionless as he remained seated inside the car. ¡°Who do you think you are to summon me out of my car? Get your leader here to see me.¡± What? Sean felt his blood rushing up to his head as his rage grew by the second. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. The rest of the Yowells immediately closed in on the both of them, their faces flushed in a fury. Woah! What an arrogant brute! They almost went mad. Sean stared at Alex with an ice-cold gaze, as if he was looking at a tiny ant. He reluctantly scoffed, ¡°Well done! You¡¯ve sessfully pissed me off. Well, let me prove if I¡¯m capable enough to drag you out of your damn car!¡± He growled and erupted into a thunderous roar. Grrrrr! As a whoosh of energy radiated from Sean¡¯s upper body, his white shirt immediately ripped apart. ¡°Get out now!¡± he shouted as he stretched out his hand to grab Alex. Alex, however, remained stationary even though Sean had grabbed his arm. ¡°I told you, you¡¯re not qualified,¡± Alex said, tilting his head a little to look at Sean. The moment he muttered those words, he generated his core energy and brushed off Sean¡¯s hand. Swiftly, he nted a smack right on Sean¡¯s chest. Bam! Sean felt an overpowering force prating his body, one that immediately sent him flying. All the other younger Yowells literally watched Sean thrown seven or eight meters away, not to mention the loud thud when hended after a few somersaults. Blood gushed out from his mouth. There was an instant pin-drop silence, where even the sound of light breathing could be heard. ¡°How¡­ How is that possible?!¡± Everyone looked at Alex in disbelief, now seated in his car, unfazed andposed. It was difficult for them toprehend anything when they saw how young he was. ¡°So, could you please get your leader here now?¡± Alex asked once again. A young, charming man who looked about 27 or 28 years old chuckled out loud. ¡°You have to defeat me first before getting my grandpa here. There¡¯s no way to prove your capability by just sitting inside the car. So, why not ept the challenge?¡± It was Colin Yowell. Among the practitioners, he was the best, which was Advanced Royal. He was the legitimate eldest grandson of Keith Yowell, as well as Michelle¡¯s elder brother. Michelle squealed in excitement, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a battle since youst achieved Advanced Royal rank, Colin! Ready for a show now? I can¡¯t wait to see it! That bastard almost pressed me against the car door earlier. You should give him a good beating until he surrenders. I¡¯m gonna cane him until he begs for mercy!¡± Colin often spoilt her with showers of love and care. Upon hearing her words, his face was flush with determination. ¡°Hey, Don. Get me a big hammer. I¡¯m gonna smash his car until he gets out!¡± Colin growled coldly. That luxury car cost twenty million dors, and without so much as a flinch, he said he was going to smash it. A tall and plump-looking teenager from the Yowell family acknowledged, leaving happily to retrieve a big hammer. It was as though Colin wasn¡¯t about to smash a Rolls-Royce Phantom, but a rusted old tractor. Soon after, the big hammer was delivered. Alex was shocked when Colin jumped onto the hood of his Rolls-Royce and lifted the big hammer in the air. Michelle and the other Yowells, on the other hand, didn¡¯t feel worried. Instead, they were excited. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 121 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 121 Alex was utterly speechless. Those kids indeed did not seem to take money seriously. Obviously, it was a given knowing how wealthy the Yowells were since they were among the four California nobles¡¯ wealthiest families. With an icy gaze, Colin lifted the big hammer above his head. As he noticed Alex, who still retained his calm and steady demeanor, he became brutally agitated. ¡°Are youing out or not?!¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯ll see how long you can pretend!¡± Roarrrr!! Like a furious dragon, he let out a ferocious roar, and his inner strength as a martial arts practitioner at Advanced Royal immediately emanated. The big hammer, which weighed approximately 20kg, smashed right into the passenger seat¡¯s windshield. At that instance, a few Yowells became very excited, while some panicked. Michelle who was initially full of menace, suddenly trembled. She didn¡¯t dare continue watching. She wondered if he was too shocked and terrified at Colin¡¯s blow. Coincidentally, she noticed Alex¡¯s gaze that was filled with annoyance. ¡®What? Is he looking down on my brother?¡¯ ¡®Or perhaps¡­ he has a better card up his sleeve?¡¯ The next second, Alex lifted his arm and brought it down, right upon the windshield. The point where he smashed was right on the spot where Colin had hammered. Bammm!! What sounded like a deafening explosion ensued. The hammer and fist collided with each other, the windscreen in between them. Everyone watched in shock and disbelief after seeing what Alex chose to do. Had he gone mad? He shed with the solid hammer by using his bare fist! Considering he was a martial artist at Advanced Royal rank, Colin¡¯s strength was not to be taken lightly, especially when angered. He could even smash through a ten centimeter thick steel te. At this rate, Alex¡¯s fist was likely to be a minced meatball. Michelle¡¯s eyes were gaping wide open. She knew, by rationale, that Alex¡¯s hand was going to be permanently disabled. But strangely, by observing his cold gaze, an absurd thought crossed her mind that perhaps Alex might have a better card. In a blink of an eye, the hammer in Colin¡¯s hand ricocheted toward him as hit by a speeding car. Fortunately, the hammer grazed past his hair, mere inches away from his face. If that didn¡¯t happen, this very day next year would have marked his death anniversary. Colin literally felt the hammer¡¯s inertia when it whizzed past him. His body turned numb, and the membrane between his thumb and index finger tore, causing him to bleed profusely. He fell off the car hood and his chest made contact with the ground. A strange and terrified expression clouded his face as he spat out a big mouthful of blood. There was pin-drop silence everywhere. What just happened turned out to be too overwhelming and shocking. In fact, it was an oue beyond expectation. Just how hard could his fist be? ¡°Colin! Colin! Are you okay?¡± Michelle ran toward Colin and hugged him with tears in her eyes. She turned back and red in fury at Alex. ¡°How dare you hurt my brother?! I¡¯ll definitely kill you if anything happens to him!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it if you survive the year.¡± Alex shook his head in regret as he looked at the shattered windscreen of his Rolls-Royce. Calmly, he got out of the car and slowly walked toward Colin, his hands ced behind his back. The other Yowells who watched on shuddered in fear. They began to lose allposure of themselves. Perhaps even Keith, the leader of the Yowells, couldn¡¯t have taken on a hammer with his fist like Alex. ¡°Stay away, stay away!¡± Michelle screamed, her teary eyes filled with raging mes. She was at her boiling point, yet fearful at the same time. ¡°Your brother is going to die if I don¡¯t go over,¡± said Alex calmly. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Colin, how are you feeling? Colin?!¡± The anxious Michelle started weeping. To her, her brother was the most important person in her life. He had been taking care of her like a parent, and since they had passed on early, she couldn¡¯t imagine life without Colin. Colin slowly propped himself up, trembling. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood again. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 122 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 122 Alex Rockefeller stepped forward and tugged Michelle Yowell out of the way before he mmed his palm against Colin Yowell¡¯s chest. Thinking that Alex was going to kill her brother, Michelle immediately started attacking Alex with everything she had. Alex¡¯s Force, however, was so immense that her attacks couldn¡¯t intimidate him at all. Much to his surprise, Michelle leaped onto his back and bit his lower left chin. ¡°D*mn it! Screw you!¡± Alex howled, before hurling Michelle away. ¡°You¡¯re nuts! If you bite me again, I¡¯m not going to save your brother!¡± Why did he want to save Colin? Naturally, it was because he didn¡¯t want to be the scapegoat. If Colin died now, the Yowell family would definitely think Alex was his murderer. When the time came, they wouldn¡¯t stop hunting him down. This wasn¡¯t what Alex wanted. In reality, Colin and his sister, Michelle, both suffered a simr condition. They had an internal wound in each of their hearts. Whenever they activated their Chi, their inner force would be affected, and it indirectly impacted their hearts. The stronger their power, the greater the damage to their bodies. Frankly, Colin and Michelle weren¡¯t the only ones to be affected by this condition. Sean had the same problem too. ¡®The entire family has this issue. They couldn¡¯t have all inherited heart disease, could they? It looks like it might have been caused by the way they practiced martial arts,¡¯ Alex thought to himself. With the help of Alex¡¯s Chi, Colin¡¯s wound was kept under control. Meanwhile, two disciples of the Yowell family started running toward the family¡¯s main house. Although Alex saw them, he didn¡¯t try to stop them. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. *** Right then, things weren¡¯t exactly quiet in the Yowell family¡¯s house either. Keith Yowell, leader of the Yowell family, perched himself calmly on a rattan chair. His upper body¡¯s posture, however, seemed odd. He appeared slightly hunched, and he asionally disyed an agonized expression on his face. ¡°Dr. Coney, how bad is my illness? How much time do I have left?¡± Keith looked at an old man next to him and asked. His voice was filled with anxiety. The old man was James Coney, a legendary doctor from California. A prettydy dressed in white stood next to him and went by the name of Dr. Cheryl. James sighed. ¡°Mr. Yowell, I¡¯ve examined you over a dozen times. Your condition seems to worsen each time. There really is nothing I can do to help you now,¡± he said. ¡°Huh? If you can¡¯t help my father, Dr. Coney, that means he¡¯ll¡­¡± blurted a middle-aged man, his face scrunched with pain and despair. His eyes welled up and turned red. This man was Keith¡¯s son, Liam Yowell. Keith waved his hand. ¡°Liam, don¡¯t be sad. Sickness at old age and dying is merely part of the life cycle. I¡¯ve already epted that fact. It¡¯s a shame that the South California martial artspetition will only be taking ce in a month. Sigh¡­¡± His voice was filled with regret. James sighed, simply shaking his head without saying a word. ¡°Grandpa, why don¡¯t we get Alex Rockefeller to try? Although his treatments are weird and difficult to comprehend, he usually performs miracles,¡± Dr. Cheryl suggested out of the blue. James pped his thigh. ¡°Oh, yeah! Why didn¡¯t I think of that? Mr. Rockefeller is known for his incredible needle-based treatment. He even managed to bring a dead person back to life! Perhaps, he might have a solution.¡± Keith and Liam instantly appeared to light up. ¡°Who are you talking about, Dr. Cheryl? Could there be someone even better than Dr. Coney?¡± Keith asked. ¡°He¡¯s a friend of mine with very capable medical skills. I¡¯ll give him a call right away,¡± Dr. Cheryl replied. She was just about to take out her phone to call Alex when two men ran in, yelling, ¡°Master, something terrible has happened! An outsider has injured Colin! It appears he might not make it.¡± ¡°What? That¡¯s impossible! ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go and find out what happened!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 123 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 123 Keith Yowell had two sons, Xavier and Liam. However, Xavier and his wife passed away when Michelle Yowell was only three. That meant Keith was left with only one son. Fortunately, Liam was romantically sessful. In and out of wedlock, Liam had over ten female partners in total, and as a result, bore quite arge number of children. His legal wife gave birth to three sons and two daughters, while his other femalepanions also gave birth to many children. All in all, Michelle had numerous brothers and sisters. The only thing Keith felt wrong about was that Liam¡¯s children had mediocre talents in martial arts. Sean Yowell was the only one of the family who managed to get to Intermediate Royal, in no thanks to the endless supplies of resources from his family. Meanwhile, Xavier¡¯s son, Colin, was the most talented among all the kids. At the age of 28, he had already reached Advanced Royal, and there was a good chance he would advance even further this year. Hence, Keith ced a lot of hope on Colin. In fact, he was secretly nning to hand over the Yowell family¡¯s leadership role to Colin. Original from N?velDrama.Org. Colin was the eldest grandson, whom Keith trusted the most. After hearing that the most talented grandson in the Yowell family was now critical thanks to his severe injuries, Keith started to panic. He was even more afraid of this happening than his own death. Hurriedly, he ran out of the house with the two disciples. James Coney and Dr. Cheryl were left slightly speechless, wondering just who had the guts to hurt someone from the Yowell family. ¡°Based on his current health condition, Mr. Yowell shouldn¡¯t get into a fight with anyone right now. If he does, his arteries might implode. Even God won¡¯t be able to save him if that happens. I must go after him,¡± James said. Out of curiosity, Dr. Cheryl also followed them out. Liam was in a very foul mood. His father was in critical condition, and now, someone had toe to their house to cause trouble. Did people really think that the Yowell family was that easy to mess with? Liam immediately scavenged the house for a long sword from one of the rooms before charging out the door angrily. ¡°Who dares to hurt my family? I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Liam was at a slightly higher rank than Colin in martial arts. He was at the peak of Royal, just shy of reaching Mystic-rank. Unfortunately, he still wasn¡¯t Mystic-ranked despite how close he was to it. Don Yowell, one of Liam¡¯s sons, immediately ran up to him. ¡°Dad, my third brother, got injured.¡± Don was talking about Sean Yowell, one of the brighter kids among Liam¡¯s children. ¡°What?¡± Liam was shocked. He quickly looked for Sean among the crowd. Finally, he found Sean, but with blood stains near his mouth and his chest. Liam immediately became enraged as he pointed his long sword at Alex Rockefeller, standing alone with his hands behind his back. Alex seemed to be enjoying the view of his surroundings. ¡°You brat! You¡¯ve gone too far. Do you think the Yowell family can be bullied? Kneel and die!¡± Liam screeched in a fury. Alex kept a cold gaze in his eyes while he scanned Liam briefly. A thought suddenly urred to Alex, ¡®This man has heart disease too. There has to be something wrong with the way the Yowell family practices martial arts. There has to be a serious w in their methods. Otherwise, this wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡¯ Although Alex had these thoughts running through his mind, he didn¡¯t say them aloud. ¡°Put your sword down. You can¡¯t beat me,¡± Alex said. ¡°Hmph. You¡¯re too proud!¡± screeched Liam before attempting to strike Alex with his sword. Dr. Cheryl happened to have witnessed what happened while she ran out. She felt as if her heart would soon leap out of her chest. Her entire body froze in ce. ¡°No!!!¡± She screamed in terror. But her cries couldn¡¯t stop Liam in time. Liam¡¯s sword swiftly descended upon Alex. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 124 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 124 It happened so quickly, and a crisp sound could be heard. Just as the Yowell¡¯s thought that even if Alex Rockefeller didn¡¯t die, that he might lose a limb, Alex suddenly extended a hand and pinched Liam Yowell¡¯s sword with two fingers. The sword stopped ten centimeters away from Alex. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Did he actually use two fingers to stop the sword?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s terrifying. Who the hell is this man?¡± The entire Yowell family was dumbfounded. Michelle Yowell¡¯s eyes nearly popped out of her head. She knew that Liam was very close to achieving Mystic-rank. The might of his sword was much greater than Colin Yowell¡¯s hammer. Could this man going by the name of Rockefeller be a Mystic-rank martial artist? Wasn¡¯t he a little too young? Even if he started training in his mother¡¯s womb, he couldn¡¯t possibly be this strong. ¡°I told you. You can¡¯t beat me,¡± Alex said ndly before snatching the sword and stabbing it into solid rock. He made it seem as if he was slicing through butter. ¡°Liam, get out of the way. Let me fight him!¡± Keith yelled loudly as he made his way forward. ¡°Stop, Mr. Yowell! If you go over the limit today, you¡¯ll lose your life!¡± James Coney quickly stepped forward to stop the fight. Dr. Cheryl, on the other hand, rushed over to Alex. ¡°Alex, are you okay? You scared me. Does your hand hurt?¡± she asked worriedly before grabbing his hand and examining it. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, why are you here?¡± Alex chuckled, acting as if he had just finished a round of badminton. However, he soon noticed tears in Dr. Cheryl¡¯s eyes. She was in so much anxiety that she started crying. Meanwhile, Keith Yowell looked at James with surprise before turning to face Dr. Cheryl and Alex. ¡°Dr. Coney, you know him?¡± Keith asked. James was not aware if there was any bad blood between Alex and the Yowell family. But he subconsciously felt that Alex couldn¡¯t possibly defeat the Yowells. If things turned for the worse, Alex would only be the losing party. ¡°Mr. Yowell, this is the legendary doctor I mentioned earlier, Alex¡­ To be precise, he¡¯s my teacher,¡± James hurriedly said. During such times, James needed to make Alex sound slightlymendable. James wasn¡¯t exactly lying. Alex had taught him the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. To a certain degree, Alex really was his teacher. As soon as James said this, the Yowells gasped in shock. James was nearly eighty years old. His teacher would have probably been at least over a hundred now. Could this young man before them actually be over a hundred years old? ¡°James, are you lying to me?¡± Keith asked, his tone hostile. ¡°Of course not. Mr. Rockefeller really did teach me medical skills. I respect him as my teacher. And yes, that¡¯s true. Mr. Yowell, if anyone was to help you recover, it¡¯s Mr. Rockefeller,¡± James replied calmly. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The Yowell family members were all stunned. Michelle¡¯s eyes were wide open in disbelief. ¡°Does he have medical skills? I¡¯m the first person to doubt that. This fellow is full of nonsense. He even said I¡¯m sick and that I wouldn¡¯t live past this year!¡± ¡°What?¡± Keith¡¯s facial expression changed. He loved Michelle the most. ¡°What proof do you have?¡± Keith asked. ¡°Do I need to provide you with proof? I¡¯m not here to check your health. I¡¯m here to get my money back. But what surprises me most is that all of you from the Yowell family are going to lead short lives. Old man, you only have three days left,¡± Alex replied with a nonchnt gaze. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 125 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 125 ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°You jerk! How dare you curse my grandfather? I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± The immature-looking Michelle Yowell immediately started throwing a fit. She red at Alex Rockefeller and charged at him. ¡°Michelle, stop!¡± Liam Yowell shouted. Finally, he recovered from the shock of Alex stopping his sword with only two fingers. This was the first time Liam met an opponent this powerful. He was thoroughly shaken. Liam knew very well that when Michelle faced Alex, it was like a three-year-old fighting a professional boxer. They were onpletely different levels altogether. More importantly, Dr. Cheryl revealed that Alex was the only person who could save Liam¡¯s father. Michelle stopped in her tracks. ¡°Uncle, this b*stard cursed my grandfather¡­ He said he¡¯ll only have only three days left to live. He even said that all of us would lead short lives. Even if you could tolerate such a thing, I can¡¯t!¡± She fumed. Liam looked at Alex with mixed emotions before sighing. ¡°Michelle, your grandfather, really doesn¡¯t have much time left,¡± Liam said. James Coney had said this earlier, but he had not given a precise estimation of how long. Liam did not expect Alex to tell how many days his father still had by only a single nce. He didn¡¯t think Alex was lying. After all, Alex seemed to be a very capable martial artist. There was no reason for him to lie.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Huh¡ª?¡± ¡°Is Grandpa going to die soon?¡± Liam¡¯s words not only shocked Michelle but the rest of Yowell family¡¯s disciples as well. This was the first time they found out about such news. Among the younger generations, Colin Yowell was the only one who somewhat knew about what was going on. Upon hearing this, he seemed equally upset. James quickly walked over to Alex. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you said that there¡¯s something wrong with the health of each Yowell family member. What¡­ What did you mean by that?¡± James asked. ¡°Dr. Coney, Cheryl, and I are good friends. You can address me by my first name,¡± Alex said. James looked over at his granddaughter and realized that her eyes were filled with tears. Smart as he was, James immediately realized what was going on. He startedughing out loud. ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll call you Alex if you don¡¯t mind¡­ Uhm, you can call me Grandpa, just like how Cheryl does. Speaking of Cheryl, I have to say that she¡¯s smart, pretty, and still single. Look at her hips. Her grandma had always said that she could bear healthy children¡­¡± James trailed off. Alex seemed dumbfounded. Subconsciously, he turned to look at Dr. Cheryl¡¯s hips. Frankly, it wasn¡¯t only Alex. Many others had done the same too. Embarrassed, Dr. Cheryl blushed and stomped her feet. ¡°Grandpa? What are you saying?! We¡¯re in public.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m so silly. You two should talk about these things in private,¡± James said. Keith, Liam, and the rest were all speechless. How had James ended up talking about his granddaughter¡¯s dating life? James finally realized there was still serious business to get down to, and he continued asking questions. The Yowell family was still angry and confused. If Alex hadn¡¯t shown his prowess in martial arts earlier, they would have attacked him without saying anything. ¡°Grandpa, are you very close to the Yowell family?¡± Alex asked, instead of answering James¡¯ questions. James knew what Alex was getting at. He wouldn¡¯t have told the truth if he didn¡¯t have a good rtionship with the Yowell family. ¡°My Grandpa and Yowell family¡¯s master have been friends for many years. Several years ago, the master helped my family out. Anyway, what¡¯s going on between you and the Yowells, Alex? If¡­¡± Dr. Cheryl spoke in a soft voice. ¡°I see!¡± Alex eximed. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 126 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 126 Alex Rockefeller scratched his chin and looked slightly below Dr. Cheryl¡¯s waist, making sure to look away before she noticed him. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll say it for your sake! I suspect the Yowell family has been practicing martial arts using the wrong methods, and it ended up affecting their hearts. The more intense the practice gets, the greater the strain on the organ. Each time they activate their Chi, they would get out of breath very quickly and feel pain in their chest. Worst-case scenario; they might even die,¡± Alex blurted. Alex¡¯s words caused the expressions on the Yowells¡¯ faces to change drastically. It was because everything he said was spot on. Michelle Yowell snorted coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. My grandfather is a Mystic-rank expert. He¡¯s already over seventy years old. I¡¯m much further behind him in terms of training, but you said I wouldn¡¯t live past this year. That¡¯s clearly bullsh*t,¡± Michelle argued. ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re a woman. The martial arts that your family practice aren¡¯t even suitable for women. I bet you can¡¯t find any other woman that looks like you. You can barely walk straight. Do you think all this was inherited?¡± Alex pursed his lips after finishing his sentence. Original from N?velDrama.Org. His merciless words made Michelle grit her teeth in anger. What could possibly be wrong with her? Many women had her as their envy, and men won¡¯t stop gawking at her. How could Alexin about the way she walked? He must be an abnormal man. The rest of the Yowell family were equally triggered and angry. Michelle was their most treasured girl. ¡°Your secret martial-arts technique is actually twice as bad for women who practice it. Your heart has been strained too much for it to function well, and it¡¯s severely damaged now. Sigh.¡± Alex continued. ¡°Is there a way to salvage this situation?¡± Keith Yowell asked. ¡°I think you¡¯re going off-topic. I¡¯m here to get my money back, not help you people recover from your illness,¡± Alex retorted. ¡°What do we owe you?¡± Liam asked. The Yowells finally remembered that they were supposed to find out why Alex was here. Michelle briefly exined what happened to them. The Yowells gritted their teeth angrily upon hearing her exnation. Wasn¡¯t Alex going too far? Not only had he damaged their Rolls-Royce, but he had also beaten up Jeremiah and bullied Michelle. How dare he ask them for money now? How unreasonable could the situation get? ¡°Fine, we will pay you back. We must do as Mr. Rockefeller says. We¡¯ll pay him twenty million¡­ Wait. Twenty million is too little. Jeremiah actually stopped his car by the road and blocked Mr. Rockefeller¡¯s way, frightening a poor elderly woman. How was twenty million enough? Let¡¯s double that. We have to pay him forty. I¡¯ll write a forty million dor cheque to Mr. Rockefeller as an apology,¡± Liam offered. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Michelle and the rest were all dumbfounded. *** Ten minutester, Alex sat coolly at the head of the table in the Yowell family house. It was the ce where Keith had sat earlier. Alex wasn¡¯t feeling pressured. He nced at Yowell family¡¯s core members standing in front of him. ¡°There is a way to cure your master¡¯s disease, but¡­¡± ¡°How much money do you want, Mr. Rockefeller? We¡¯ll pay you any amount,¡± Liam immediately interjected. Alex waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s not about money¡­ Alright, maybe it is. There¡¯s only one thing that can save your father¡¯s life. It¡¯s a Life Pill.¡± ¡°Life Pill? A pill?¡± Liam asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. By using acupuncture, I can extend your father¡¯s life by seven days. Hence, he¡¯ll have ten more days to live. You must bring me several types of medicinal herbs within ten days to make the pill. Your father¡¯s life will be saved then,¡± Alex said. Without any further thought, Liam immediately agreed to it. Alex then carried out the acupuncture treatment on Keith. When James Coney saw what was happening, he was in awe. Alexter made a list of medicinal herbs with remarks added to it. ¡°Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Rockefeller. As for my granddaughter¡­ is there any way you can help her?¡± Keith asked. Alex looked at Michelle and shook his head. ¡°As for her¡­ It¡¯s a little more troublesome. Her heart has been so severely damaged that it¡¯s deformed. She isn¡¯t in a better situation than you. On top of that, it¡¯s inappropriate for a man to do acupuncture on a woman,¡± Alex said. ¡°Dare I ask, Mr. Rockefeller, are you married?¡± Keith asked with a smile. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 127 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 127 As soon as Keith Yowell said this, James Coney looked upset. ¡°Mr. Yowell, you¡¯re being unreasonable. There is an order to things. I¡¯ve already expressed my interest in Alex as my future son-inw. How could you try to steal him away?¡± James quickly stepped forward and said. ¡°Why not? He isn¡¯t even engaged to your granddaughter yet. Besides, even if they were married, divorce is still possible. It depends on who¡¯s more capable. My granddaughter isn¡¯t bad, either. In fact, she¡¯s younger, and she can give birth to better children,¡± Keith said. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re full of crap,¡± James growled. ¡°So what if I am? What are you going to do about it? It¡¯s a fairpetition!¡± Keith eximed. Keith genuinely wanted a robust and capable person like Alex to be part of the Yowell family. Having Alex would be worth even more than earning a hundred billion dors. There was something Keith had not said. In the past, he used to be guided by an Earth-ranked martial artist. But after recalling how Alex caught Liam Yowell¡¯s sword with just two fingers, he secretly suspected that Alex¡¯s martial arts cultivation level might be even higher than that of an Earth expert. Could Alex be an Innate Grandmaster? Did such a young Innate Grandmaster really exist? On the other hand, Dr. Cheryl and Michelle Yowell blushed after hearing what those two old men said. This was mostly the case for Michelle, who had no interest in Alex at all. If anything, she hated Alex to the core. How could her grandfather ask her to bear his children? ¡°He¡¯s a jerk. I don¡¯t want to be with him! Hmph! Rockefeller, I don¡¯t need your help. If you call me weird again, I¡­ I¡¯ll bite you until you die!¡± Michelle screamed before hastily running out of the house. ¡°Dad, have you forgotten that Michelle is engaged?¡± Liam blinked and said suddenly. ¡°The Pattingson family,¡± Liam muttered softly, his eyes were looking toward a certain direction, gazing at nothing. Keith seemed stunned momentarily as if he had suddenly recalled something. His expressions became a little weary, and after letting out a sigh, he remained silent. Alex shook his head. He didn¡¯t expect the head of Yowell family to have such thoughts. Alex, however, wasn¡¯t interested in discussing this at all. ¡°Alright. I have work to do. I need to go. Once you¡¯ve gathered all the ingredients, give me a call,¡± said Alex as he stood. He was actually here to nip things in the bud with the Yowells. Now that the matter had been perfectly resolved, he was able to get his forty million dors. On top of that, he needed some of those medicinal ingredients on the list for himself. Hence, it was a very rewarding trip all in all. Keith quickly stood up and thanked Alex by saying he had more gifts in store. Alex felt a little embarrassed while he shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Let¡¯s talk after your illness has been cured. Also, you should all stop using your existing technique to practice martial arts.¡± Keith¡¯s facial expression darkened. The Yowell family had its roots deep in martial arts. Their inner Chi practice was something inherited from their ancestors. If they gave up practicing it, wouldn¡¯t that mean that the Yowell family would have to leave the martial arts realm from now on? Besides, they couldn¡¯t leave just because they wanted to. There wereplicated connections and benefits derived from these ties that they couldn¡¯t just walk away from. ¡°How about lending me your martial arts technique for a while? What do you think?¡± Alex frowned and said after seeing how depressed Keith looked. Original from N?velDrama.Org. This was actually a disrespectful request in the realm of martial arts. A family¡¯s technique was an heirloom each kept close to their chest. How could they just give it to just anyone? Keith¡¯s facial expression changed. He locked eyes with Alex for five seconds. Finally, Keith gritted his teeth in reluctance. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll fetch it right away.¡± Alex nodded slightly. He wanted to review their martial arts technique not because he wanted to seek out its secrets but simply because he wanted to help them out. Although Alex hadn¡¯t learned the most advanced martial-arts cultivation techniques, he was the heir of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, and had an in-depth knowledge of a human¡¯s inner organs and blood vessels. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 128 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 128 As an outsider, Alex Rockefeller could review the techniques. It wouldn¡¯t be too difficult to make some changes and create a viable inner Chi technique for them. Alex had not made it clear at first. He had asked directly for the technique because he wanted to test Keith Yowell. If Keith weren¡¯t willing to give it to him, it would only be his opportunity to miss. Very soon, Keith returned with a thin booklet and handed it over to Alex. Alex flipped through it casually, speed-reading through it. After a minute, he closed the booklet and shook his head. ¡°Mr. Yowell, if I¡¯m not mistaken, this technique isn¡¯tplete. Did someone add the final part to it afterward? Clearly, there are two different paths included. That exins why it had such negative side effects on those who practiced it,¡± Alex said. Keith¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you¡¯repletely right. This technique is called Slunce Jauda. It went missing at some point, and when we recovered it, a part of it had disappeared. Our ancestors tried to make it whole again based on their memory.¡± ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll do some research and try to improve it for you guys,¡± Alex said. Keith seemed shocked, repeatedly thanking Alex. Right then, one of the Yowell family¡¯s disciples came in. ¡°Master, someone is waiting outside going by the name of Lady Dorothy Assex. She said she¡¯s here to look for her husband.¡± Keith frowned. Alex was the most respected guest right now. How could they allow someone to interrupt them randomly? ¡°I don¡¯t care who she is. I don¡¯t know her. Ask her to leave,¡± Keith said. ¡°Wait. She¡¯s here to look for me,¡± Alex said. ¡°Huh¡ª ¡°She¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s my wife,¡± Alex added. Keith¡¯s eyes bulged wide open. It seemed Mr. Rockefeller was already married. He couldn¡¯t help but re at James Coney. It was funny how the old man was so eager to make Alex his son-inw. Didn¡¯t James try to find out if Alex was married before? Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Wait a second¡­ it appeared the old man wanted his granddaughter to seduce a married man! ¡°Hurry up and bring Mrs. Rockefeller inside. We must treat her with respect! Do you understand?¡± Keith quickly said. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m almost done here, and I should be leaving. Goodbye, Mr. Yowell.¡± Alex then stood up. ¡°Mr. Yowell, my granddaughter, and I will be leaving as well.¡± James stood up too. With Yowell family¡¯s grand escort, the trio began walking out of the house. Lady Dorothy seemed very panicky. She was very worried. The Yowell family of California was a much more powerful entitypared to her. They could easily gather countless people to attack the Assex family. Alex was definitely not about to have an easy time with the Yowells. In fact, when Lady Dorothy had returned to the bank, she had found out that Alex had even gotten into trouble with Michelle Yowell, the family¡¯s spoiled princess. When she heard that Alex went with Michelle to Yowell¡¯s family¡¯s house, she nearly passed out. ¡®It¡¯ll be fine. Nothing will go wrong. Please don¡¯t let anything happen to him!¡¯ Lady Dorothy repeated in her mind. After that, she saw a group of people walking out of the front door. Alex stood in the center, and he seemedpletely unharmed. Lady Dorothy instantly sighed in relief. However, in the next second, she saw the beautiful and elegantdy wearing a white robe next to Alex ¡ªit was Dr. Cheryl and James Coney, who frequently appeared on television. Lady Dorothy¡¯s heart was thumping in her chest. A strong wave of insecurity immediately surfaced from the depths of her heart. ¡°Honey!¡± Lady Dorothy called out softly. Alex was stunned. She called him so gently, and her tone was filled with love. Oh, how pleasant it sounded! Alex, however, had not noticed that Lady Dorothy was actually locking eyes with Dr. Cheryl. Despite being four meters apart, it was as if a strong electric current traveled back and forth between the two women. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 129 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 129 ¡°Grandpa, Cheryl, I¡¯ll be leaving now. Let¡¯s get together someday!¡± Alex Rockefeller told James Coney and Dr. Cheryl. After that, he gave a slight nod to Keith Yowell. Dr. Cheryl suddenly grabbed Alex by his arm. ¡°Wait,¡± she said. ¡°What is it?¡± Alex asked, confused. Dr. Cheryl suddenly reached out to adjust his cor before whispering into his ears, ¡°Your cor¡¯s a little messy.¡± She then chuckled and backed away. ¡®What¡¯s going on?¡¯ Alex thought to himself before looking over at Lady Assex. ¡®D*mn.¡¯ She was staring daggers at him. Even now, Alex had no idea that Dr. Cheryl was to make Lady Dorothy upset. Clearly, the doctor still held a grudge after Lady Dorothy called her out for being shameless. Lady Dorothy, unsurprisingly, showed that she was very upset by turning around and stomping away. Alex quickly ran after her. ¡°Hey, Dorothy. Dorothy, don¡¯t leave!¡± ¡°Alex, it¡¯s Cheryl¡¯s grandmother¡¯s birthday this Sunday. You muste to visit. Her grandmother misses you dearly,¡± James said. Alex nearly tripped as he ran after Lady Dorothy. After waving his hand, he quickly sped off after her again. Meanwhile, Keith tutted andughed. ¡°Dr. Cheryl. Dear, oh, dear. Looks like Mr. Rockefeller cares a lot about his wife. I think you¡¯ll have to try harder to steal him away,¡± he mocked. Dr. Cheryl¡¯s face flushed beet red, and she quickly left. *** ¡°Dorothy, Dorothy, listen to me.¡± Determined not to let her go, Alex finally caught up with Lady Dorothy and pulled her into his arms. Lady Dorothy tried her hardest to set herself free but to no avail. ¡°Let go of me! What else do you have to say? Go and be with that pretty doctor. The two of you can have your romantic time.¡± ¡°Why are you so jealous?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Who¡¯s jealous? Who would be jealous of a jerk like you? Get out of my way¡­ Mmph¡­¡± Lady Dorothy trailed off. To stop her from saying another word, Alex pressed his lips against hers. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Wasn¡¯t there a saying that described this? Whenever a woman got angry, it was pointless for a man to try to exin things. The only way to stop an argument was to kiss her. If it didn¡¯t work the first time, he would just have to do it again. Indeed, Lady Dorothy¡¯s defenses gave in after a while. Her body rxed, and she even leaned into Alex¡¯s embrace. Alex¡¯s heart began to beat faster, and he couldn¡¯t help but shift his hand downward¡­ Right then, they suddenly heard a voice nearby. ¡°Hey, Rockefeller. Aren¡¯t you embarrassed? How could you hold a woman like this under the sun? Yuck. Men really are disgusting pigs.¡± It was actually Michelle Yowell. Her arms were crossed over her chest while she watched them in action. At the end of the day, Lady Dorothy wasn¡¯t all that thick-skinned. After being made fun of by Michelle, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She pinched Alex on his waist before turning around and running away. Her pretty face had nowpletely reddened. Alex secretly cursed Michelle for getting in their way. If it wasn¡¯t for her sudden appearance, his intimacy with Lady Dorothy would have progressed further. Moreover, he had no idea when they would be able to get close again after today. ¡°Instead of butting your head into other people¡¯s business, why don¡¯t you find ways to resolve your weird figure?¡± Alex yfully looked at her chest. ¡°If they get any bigger, your life will be in danger. Remember not to use your inner Chi, otherwise¡­ boom!¡± Alex made a gesture to show something exploding with his hands before turning around and leaving. Michelle wished she could bite his head off¡­ She was super furious! At the same time, she was also a little worried. At only twenty-two years of age, Michelle was in the prime of her youth. Who would want to die at such a young age? She hadn¡¯t even had the chance to live a good life. In fact, she had never even been in love before. Wouldn¡¯t it be extremely sad for her to leave this world so soon? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 130 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 130 Alex Rockefeller got into Lady Dorothy Assex¡¯s car. Lady Dorothy still seemed embarrassed. ¡°Who was that?¡± ¡°A youngss named Michelle Yowell,¡± Alex answered. Lady Dorothy was shocked. ¡°Was that Michelle Yowell?! Did you know how worried I was when I heard you got into trouble with her? You even went with her to her family residence. I was so scared that you wouldn¡¯t make it back alive!¡± she eximed. Alex sat on the passenger seat and gently ced his hand on Lady Dorothy¡¯s thigh before giving it a gentle pat. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The Yowell family can¡¯t do anything to harm me,¡± he said. Lady Dorothy was in a set of office attire today, and she had on a pair of ck leggings. Alex suddenly felt excited. He slowly leaned toward Lady Dorothy, intending to carry on with their kissing game before this. Lady Dorothy immediately pushed him away. ¡°Don¡¯t overstep your boundaries. You still haven¡¯t told me how you managed to appease the Yowell family. Michelle Yowell isn¡¯t someone easy to deal with. Did you get help from that female doctor?¡± ¡°Of course not,¡± Alex said. ¡°Then how did you do it? Don¡¯t tell me that you managed to defeat the entire Yowell family by yourself, that the head of the family personally apologized to you and promised you his granddaughter¡¯s hand in marriage?¡± Lady Dorothy scowled. ¡°How¡­ How did you know all that?¡± Alex was stunned. ¡°Think I am dumb? Idiot.¡± Lady Dorothy snapped back. Even if Alex didn¡¯t say anything, she had guessed that he must have asked Dr. Cheryl to help smooth things over. Moreover, since Dr. Cheryl wasn¡¯t authoritative enough, James Coney probably got involved. Indeed, this was how Alex had managed to turn the situation around. Although Lady Dorothy hated Dr. Cheryl with all her heart, the entire matter had urred thanks to her mother, Madame ire Assex. Hence, Lady Dorothy couldn¡¯t me Alex for all of it. ¡°How is your mother doing?¡± Alex changed the topic. ¡°My mother? She¡¯s your mother too, alright?¡± Lady Dorothy fumed. ¡°I want to treat her like my mother. But the problem is, she doesn¡¯t think of me as her son-inw. You heard how she spoke to me earlier. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to stand her. I don¡¯t even want to talk to her.¡± Alex had feelings too. Although he was capable of being very affectionate and kind, it was hard to remain nice once someone got on his bad side. Lady Dorothy sighed. ¡°Alex, I know my mother hasn¡¯t been nice to you. I apologize on her behalf. To be honest, you know that she has these character ws. Ever since my dad disappeared with that woman, my mother has been mentally affected. She started cing greater emphasis on money and wealth, and she can sometimes be very difficult to warm up to. However, I hope you can¡­ be more epting. Treat her like a person with a mental health condition.¡± Alex nearly chuckled out loud. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll do as you say. I¡¯ll treat her like a mental patient,¡± Alex said. ¡°You must never say this in front of her,¡± Lady Dorothy warned.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You think I have such a low EQ?¡± Alex grinned. *** At first, Alex had thought Madame ire would be in the hospital. But Lady Dorothy told him that she was too embarrassed to go there after her face got swollen from being hit. Hence, Madame ire had returned home right away. Alex pursed his lips. ¡®That¡¯s Madame ire, alright. She would die to protect her reputation.¡¯ Upon arriving at Assex Vi, they could hear Madame ire yelling at someone as soon as they walked through the door. ¡°Who asked you to touch this vase?! Who asked you to put it here? Do you know that this vase is an antique? ¡°Now that it¡¯s broken, you owe me thirty thousand dors and not a single cent less. I¡¯ll send you to prison if you don¡¯t repay me the full amount.¡± The two of them saw Madame ire menacingly pointing at the nanny while shouting angrily at hte woman. She disyed a poor attitude that didn¡¯t quite fit her beautiful appearance. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong with you?! Aren¡¯t you tired of yelling all day?!¡± Lady Dorothy truly felt exhausted. Madame ire¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°What do you mean? Do you think I¡¯m annoying? Do you all think I¡¯m crazy? Can¡¯t I yell at her for breaking the vase?¡± Madame ire screeched. By now, the nanny had also gotten upset. She flung her apron onto the ground. ¡°You are unreasonable. I¡¯ve worked as a nanny for many years, but I¡¯ve never dealt with someone as difficult as you. I quit! I didn¡¯t break this vase. She bumped into it on her own. Give me my sry. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make things worse for your family.¡± In the end, it was Alex who had to pay the nanny. The nanny left, and nobody was there to cook anymore. Madame ire pointed at Alex. ¡°Go and cook. I want to eat meatballs today,¡± she snapped in a blind burst of rage. ¡®Cook it yourself!¡¯ Alex thought. ¡°I still have work to do. I¡¯m leaving now,¡± Alex replied with a snap of a finger. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 131 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 131 Alex stared at the big blue sky as he exited Assex Vi. He felt much better about himself after treating ire as a mere lunatic. ire, however, was extremely furious. She stomped her feet as she cursed Alex. ¡°Look what kind of man married yourself to? He doesn¡¯t have a stable ie, and now he¡¯s trying to trick me with a fake check? Does he think I¡¯m an idiot? Just look at how arrogant he is now! I told him to make me a meal and he refused! What is he so busy with anyway? Killing himself?¡± Just then, ire identally stepped on a porcin shard and immediately yelped in pain. Dorothy took a look at her wound and realized that it was just a scratch. She sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be going to work now. You should get yourself some lunch if you¡¯re hungry.¡± Alex returned to where ire¡¯s ident ured. Jeremiah was long gone and the crowd had dispersed. He got into his white BMW M8 and drove to a nearby bank. He wanted to deposit the check that the Yowells had given him. Everything went smoothly. At this moment, his bank ount had around 70 million dors¡¯ worth of savings. He was able to earn more than the average white-cor worker with the interest from this ount alone. Even William couldn¡¯t earn this much when he was alive. However, Alex was apletely changed man. To him, money was just mere numbers and nothing more. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, if you have any deposits or enquiries about loans in the future, you can alwayse to me. I¡¯ll be here for you any time, anywhere. I¡¯ll provide any other special services you¡¯d like too.¡± The one speaking was a mature woman in her 30s. Dimples were visible on her cheeks as she smiled brightly. She was the vice president of the bank, Lavender Davis. When Alex brought the check to be deposited, she was extremely surprised by therge amount it held. She excitedly volunteered to help him with the procedures as well. Alex had arge amount of funds after all so it was only normal for her to act in such a way. Every bank waspeting to get star customers. If they were to build a good rtionship with such customers, the bank would surely benefit. Besides, if she were to establish a personal connection with star customers like Alex, it would benefit her greatly. ¡°Yeah, okay,¡± Alex replied dismissively. ¡°This is my business card, my personal number is on it. If you¡¯re willing to, Mr. Rockefeller, you can always add my number into your contacts. You¡¯ll be able to contact me much easier in that way.¡± Lavender handed Alex a card. As Alex reached out to take the card, Lavender brushed her pinky gently against his palm, she had a mysterious smile stered on her face as well. Alex was slightly taken aback. Her eyes gave away her intentions¡ªshe was trying to invite him to¡­ However, Alex was not interested in her. He could tell that the woman was wearing thick makeup. She wasn¡¯t any prettier than ire, let alone Dorothy.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Thanks, but I won¡¯t need your number. My wife wouldn¡¯t like it if I have other women in my contacts.¡± Alex smiled and turned around, leaving the bank. A few momentster, he noticed a big and familiar figure. It was Nichs Hudson. Alex was overjoyed and rushed over to him. Just as he was about to call out to him, Nichs dropped to his knees and knelt before a woman in public. He noticed that Nichs¡¯s voice was trembling. ¡°Charis, please, don¡¯t go! I can¡¯t live on without you!¡± The woman was enraged. ¡°Let go of me! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you¡¯re good enough to date me? Look at yourself, you don¡¯t have the looks or the body! Most importantly, you¡¯re even poorer than I am. How would you pay for my expenses, then? You can¡¯t even get me a purse! Just let go of me and scram!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 132 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 132 Nichs clinged to the woman¡¯s legs. ¡°Charis, money isn¡¯t everything! What¡¯s important is the love we have! There¡¯s no one else on this earth who loves you more than I do!¡± The woman replied, ¡°Bullsh*t! I don¡¯t care about your love, it¡¯s worthless!¡± Just then, a BMW 520 stopped in front of them. A young man poked his head out of the car window. The woman smiled brightly. ¡°Hey babe, you¡¯re finally here! I¡¯ll get in the car in a bit, hold on.¡± She then kicked Nichs over and over again. ¡°Let go of me! Just let go of me! My boyfriend is here to pick me up, can¡¯t you see? Now, this is a man who¡¯s in my league. He wears Armani and he drives a BMW too! Unlike you, he doesn¡¯t drive a secondhand Volkswagen! I don¡¯t need garbage like that!¡± The man in the BMW seemed to know Nichs as well and proceeded to mock him. ¡°Nichs, Charis is mine now. If you don¡¯t let go of her this instant, I¡¯ll make your life a living hell. F*ck, you don¡¯t deserve to have a girlfriend, you impoverished fool.¡± Comment by Melisa Chan: changed this from mere meager as meager is an adjective, not a noun¡­ Charis huffed cockily. She kicked him hard on his thighs with her heels because she despised him. Suddenly, a cold voice spoke up. ¡°Huh, how boring. Driving a mere 520 and acting as if you own the world. You¡¯re nothing but an impoverished fool in others¡¯ eyes too, you know?¡± ¡°Who, who was that?¡± Charis yelled, she wanted to defend her boyfriend. But when she realized that it was Alex, her attitude immediately switched up. ¡°Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s you, Alex, the poor loser who lives off his wife. Both you and Nichs are just a pair of poor *sshats.¡± Alex and Charis knew each other as well¡ªthey used to study in the same high school. The man asked Charis, ¡°Who the hell is this guy?¡± Charis huffed again. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, the son of the previous CEO of Rockefeller Group. But he¡¯s just a loser now. He ves away in Assex Vi taking care of every little thing for the three women who live there. ¡°Alex, you have to get your facts right. You¡¯re no longer that almighty young lord of the Rockefeller. You¡¯re just a loser who had been kicked out by his own family. How dare you say that this BMW 520 is boring? Can you even afford it? If you could, then get one! If you really could get one for yourself, I¡¯ll swallow this rock whole right now!¡± Charis said as she kicked a stone that was as big as a fist. Alex scoffed. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that car model.¡± The man had got out of his car as well. He smirked smugly and said, ¡°You¡¯re not interested? So you¡¯re saying that you could afford a better model? Show us then!¡± He then noticed the BMW M8 that was parked at the side and chuckled. ¡°This BMW M8 is more expensive than mine, are you interested then? Is it yours? Gosh, you¡¯re scaring me!¡± Charis chimed in. ¡°This car is worth two million dors. If you really can afford this model, then pigs would be able to fly.¡± Just then, the white BMW M8 beeped and was unlocked. Alex was holding a beautifully crafted pair of M8 car keys. Original from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this is indeed mine. ¡°Eat up then. If you can¡¯t swallow it, I¡¯ll crush it into pieces for you.¡± Charis and her boyfriend were stunned. Their mouths were so wide open, it was as if they could fit a whole lightbulb in their mouths. After a brief pause, Charis yelled angrily, ¡°Who knows if this car is really yours? You could be just working as a valet here, or you have just borrowed this from someone! Do you really think I¡¯m that much of an idiot?¡± The man seemed cocky as well. ¡°Yeah, you have guts to make a bluff with someone else¡¯s car like that. You might as well say that you¡¯re the president of the country!¡± Suddenly, the vice president of the bank, Lavender approached them. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mr. Rockefeller? May I help you?¡± She asked. She then noticed the man and immediately switched up her attitude. Lavender scolded, ¡°Cedar Davis! What are you doing here? Who gave you the permission to drive my car?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 133 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 133 ¡°Uhm¡­¡± Alex was taken aback. He didn¡¯t expect Lavender to know this BMW guy. ¡®Cedar? Sounds like they¡¯re siblings.¡¯ Cedar started panicking. ¡°Sis, uhm, well, I¡­ my car broke down, so I¡¯m using your car for now.¡± He said as he kept signalling Lavender with his eyes. He had just got together with Charis after all, he wanted to show off in front of her! However, Lavender did not pick up any of his signals and said, ¡°Your motorcycle is broken? Then get it fixed! Don¡¯t you know that my car is off-limits for today? Oh, and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller now.¡± Charis¡¯ expression darkened. Cedar¡¯s BMW wasn¡¯t his own, he only owned a motorcycle all along. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. A motorcycle is nothingpared to Nichs¡¯ secondhand Volkswagen! Cedar pointed at Alex and asked, ¡°Why should I apologize to him? He doesn¡¯t deserve it! He¡¯s just a mere ve. I¡¯d rather apologize to a dog!¡± Suddenly, a loud pnded on Cedar¡¯s face. Lavender had pped him hard and yelled, ¡°You bastard! How dare you speak of Mr. Rockefeller like that? Mr. Rockefeller is a star customer of our bank! He¡¯s a VIP! Apologize now or else!¡± ¡®Star customer?¡¯ Cedar froze. Charis wasn¡¯t aware of what it meant to be a bank¡¯s star customer. However, Cedar knew that title all too well. A star customer had to have personal savings of over fifty million dors. And that was just their personal savings, not worth. If he were to offend his sister¡¯s star customer, Lavender would most definitely make his life miserable for a full year. He wouldn¡¯t be able to reap benefits off of her as well. He immediately apologized to Alex. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. It was all my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have insulted you, I shouldn¡¯t have yelled at you. Please forgive my actions.¡± He then grabbed Charis by her hair and started pping her across the face. ¡°It was all because of this b*tch! She was bad-mouthing you¡ªI was misled by her words!¡± Charis yelped in pain and pointed towards Nichs. ¡°Nichs Hudson! Are you really that useless? Stop him now!¡± Nichs¡¯s eyes were reddened but he seemed ready to lunge at Cedar. However, Alex pressed him down with one hand, immobilizing him. Alex was speechless. ¡°Charis Burr, are you really that shameless? You had just insulted Nichs, calling him worthless. Yet now you¡¯re ordering your ex to beat up your current boyfriend. Are you mental?¡± He then waved to Cedar dismissively and said, ¡°You, get lost!¡± If he were to p himself any more, Alex will soon be in the spotlight again. Lavender kicked Cedar on his leg. ¡°Now thank Mr. Rockefeller and get lost!¡± After Cedar had rushed off, Lavender smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m truly sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. My brother is just so reckless and ended up causing you trouble. I¡¯ll treat you to lunchter as an apology, will that be alright with you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. You two are different individuals. You should just go back to work, Ms. Davis,¡± Alex replied dismissively. Suddenly, Alex¡¯s phone started ringing. It was a call from the pretty saleswoman from the BMW dealership store, Chloe Zea. Chloe¡¯s soft and sweet voice came from the other side of the phone. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, your BMW M8 is now fixed. Would you like to pick it up yourself or would you like me to send it over to you?¡± Alex stared at Nichs who seemed distraught. ¡°Please send it over, I¡¯ll send you my location in a bit.¡± Chloe promised that the car will be sent over within 15 minutes. Alex turned to Charis, whose face was swollen from the pping. ¡°Charis Burr, you don¡¯t deserve Nichs. You¡¯re just a good for nothing gold digger. He deserves to be with a woman who is much better than you.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 134 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 134 Charis scoffed. ¡°You¡¯re joking, right? Him? Any random stranger on the streets would be a better option than he ever will be!¡± She then kicked the Volkswagen which was parked at the side. It was Nichs¡¯s car. ¡°Look at this, who the f*ck still drives a car like this? Only poor f*cks like him would!¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Alex nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right, Nichs deserves a much better car than this, it¡¯s just way out of his league. That¡¯s why a brand new BMW M8 is on its way. Now that¡¯s what Nichs truly deserves.¡± ¡°He deserves a BMW M8? What a joke!¡± Fifteen minutester, Chloe drove the car over to Alex¡¯s location. Charis¡¯s eyes widened upon seeing the BMW M8. Alex handed Nichs the keys and said, ¡°This car is now yours.¡± Nichs was close to descending into a mental breakdown at the time. However, he was shocked as he received the keys. ¡°Alex, you¡¯re joking right? For me? Why would someone like me deserve to own a luxurious car like this?¡± ¡°You can as long as I say so. Now take it or I¡¯ll smash the car.¡± A corner of Chloe¡¯s mouth twitched slightly as she stared at Alex nervously. ¡®This madman would definitely do such wild actions.¡¯ Nichs was still in a daze as Alex continued, ¡°Come on, aren¡¯t you ashamed of kneeling before a gold digger like Charis, and in public too? I¡¯m ashamed for you, you know? There¡¯re so many better girls out there, can¡¯t you see? Look, like this beauty here, Chloe Zea is so much better than her.¡± Chloe rubbed her face gently, a little embarrassed by the suddenpliment. ¡°Okay, so it¡¯s settled. This car is yours now. Besides, I¡¯m not giving it to you for free. I¡¯ve been trying to start a newpanytely. If you help me out, this car will be a gift.¡± After that, Alex invited Chloe and Nichs for lunch, leaving Charis stunned on the streets. She started regretting her choices, wishing she could change the past. Nichs still wasn¡¯t able to move on from Charis. However, with Alex¡¯s harsh scolding and Chloe¡¯s advice, he was able to let go of her. ¡°Alex, are you really going to start apany? Whatpany?¡± Nichs remembered and asked. ¡°When have I ever lied?¡± Alex red¡ªthe lies that he had told his wife did not count. ¡°I mean, it¡¯s not really mypany. My mom is the one who wants to start one up. It¡¯ll be in Michigan. Are you interested?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll consider.¡± ¡°Consider my *ss!¡± Alex said as he smacked Nichs on the back of his head. ¡°Look at you, all you do is y games at home now! Most you do is collect rent from your tenants. You¡¯re going to end up looking like a pig if this continues! Do you really want to just collect rent for the rest of your life? It¡¯s already settled. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t treat you poorly. I¡¯ll give you a share of our stocks too. If you don¡¯t agree to this, I¡¯ll go to your sister.¡± ¡°Oh f*ck. You¡ªyou¡¯re ruthless!¡± His brother-inw had to eat grass from Alex¡¯s garden thest time they met. If Nichs were to refuse this offer, his sister, Merida, would surely force him to eat the grass that Sean had puked out. Chloe batted her big doe-like eyes and asked, ¡°Yourpany must be pretty big, Mr. Rockefeller. I wonder if I have a chance to work for you?¡± Alex smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not really all that big. The initial investment funds only around fifty million, but it would definitely be able to grow in the future. If you really are interested, Ms. Zea, I¡¯ll wee you with open arms. I promise to give you a sry of over thirty thousand dors. As for the details, my mom will brief you.¡± Chloe replied, ¡°Alright, then! I ept your offer. By the way, my home is in Michigan too!¡± After lunch, Alex brought the two back to Maple Vi. Chloe was shocked to see such a gigantic vi. However, Alex noticed Maya as soon as he entered the house. ¡°Maya? ¡°Why¡­ are you here?¡± Brittany was holding onto Maya by her arm, smiling brightly. ¡°I asked Maya toe by. What? Are you against it?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 135 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 135 ¡°Why would I be against that? I wee you too!¡± Alex smiled immediately. Brittany rolled her eyes. ¡°That¡¯s more I like it.¡± She then greeted Nichs and Chloe, who followed behind Alex. ¡°Nichs, you came by too. Oh, what a beautiful girl. Is she your girlfriend?¡± Nichs shook his head and denied. ¡°No, no, Mrs. Rockefeller. She¡¯s Alex¡¯s friend.¡± Alex said, ¡°Mom, let me introduce you to her. This is Chloe Zea. I recruited her as an employee for your company. She¡¯s an amazing saleswoman, hard working too. Most importantly, she¡¯s a very nice person.¡± Brittany smiled brightly as she led Chloe to the table, asking her to take a seat. Maya smiled as well. ¡°Mom, dessert is almost ready, I¡¯ll serve it now!¡± Alex spat out the tea that he had just started drinking. ¡°What did you call her?¡± Maya lifted her gaze. ¡°Your mom is my mom from now on.¡± She then wore a pair of slippers and walked into the kitchen. Alex froze. Brittany smiled and didn¡¯t exin either. He chased after Maya and pulled her to the side. ¡°Maya, you¡­ you¡¯re confusing me. What do you mean by that? Could it be that you¡¯ve agreed to bing my second wife like mom asked you to?¡± This had been an ongoing joke between the three for more than a year. Maya and Brittany had been acquainted for quite a while, growing closer as time passed. Alex knew that Brittany preferred Maya over Dorothy. However, Alex liked Dorothy, so Brittany decided not to interfere with their rtionship. Back then, Brittany had joked about having Maya be Alex¡¯s second wife if they were to be living in ancient times. Maya turned to look at him and took a step forward. Her whole body was pressed against his. She wasn¡¯t afraid of such intimate touch at all. She smiled slyly and said, ¡°Yeah, I did. Are you happy?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alex was speechless. Suddenly, Maya pushed him away and took a nce at his pants, chuckling. ¡°Dream on! Did you really think you can have two at the same time? Listen up, I won¡¯t be your second wife! You¡¯d have to call me Sis from now on. Get it, Lil Bro?¡± ¡°What¡­ do you mean?¡± ¡°What I mean is that I have be Mrs. Rockefeller¡¯s goddaughter. So you¡¯re my godbrother now, dummy! Okay, enough talking,e help me out in the kitchen. I made arge batch of desserts!¡± ¡°Huh? Why aren¡¯t you at work?¡± ¡°I resigned. I¡¯ll be focusing on taking care of our mom from now on.¡± Alex was only able to understand the reason for Maya¡¯s actions after a long pause. Looking at Maya¡¯s beautiful figure, he started to understand¡­ His mother had just healed from her sickness, yet she lost her husband as well. Moreover, she was betrayed by her family, herpany had been devoured, and her reputation ruined. With all this going on, she must be in pain. However, Brittany was very headstrong. She would hide those negative feelings deep inside her heart and not express them in front of him. As a man, Alex wasn¡¯t as caring and loving as a woman. ¡°Thanks, M¡ªSis.¡± Maya picked up a te of brownies and said softly, ¡°Mom has had it roughtely. You should talk to her more if you have the time. She¡­ cried just a while ago.¡± Alex clenched his fists and released them slowly, nodding in agreement. After ting the brownies, Maya said, ¡°Okay now, I¡¯ll serve this. Wash up a few tes will you?¡± Suddenly, as she picked up the te, she whimpered. ¡°Ow, that¡¯s hot.¡± Her hands were slightly red as well. Alex immediately grabbed her hand and dragged her to the sink. He ran cold water on her burn and furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Why are you so clumsy?¡± After a brief while of running cold water, he lifted her hand up to check on the burn again. ¡°How do you feel? Does it still hurt?¡± Original from N?velDrama.Org. Maya stared at Alex, his stern yet caring expression melted her heartpletely. However, when he turned to look at her, she scrunched up her nose. ¡°It¡¯s just a little burn, it doesn¡¯t hurt at all. Look at you all panicky, aren¡¯t you just the silliest?¡± Alex flung her hand away. ¡°I was worried that you burnt your hand. Yet you¡¯re calling me silly. What do I do with you?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 136 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 136 ¡°Well, you are silly! Alright, you serve it. You have pretty rough skin, so you won¡¯t get burnt.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah, I¡¯m just an ox, I won¡¯t be fazed by the hot temperature.¡± Alex picked up the te and walked out of the kitchen. He could hear Maya¡¯s light chuckles behind him. But, he didn¡¯t hear her mumble to herselfter on. ¡°This is fine. I¡¯m happy that I get to see you every day like this.¡± After dessert, Brittany, Maya, Chloe and Nichs started discussing about the newpany. Alex could tell that Maya didn¡¯t just resign to apany Brittany, she wanted to help her out in the new company as well. Yet again, there¡¯s a possibility that Brittany was the one who invited Maya along. Alex wasn¡¯t interested in the business field, hence he made up an excuse to do some research on the Yowells¡¯ Slunce Jauda. It was still wed after all. Half an hour of researchingter, Alex clenched a piece of cloth into his hand and activated his Chi. As he released his grip, the cloth had turned into ashes. ¡°So this is The Slunce Jauda.¡± He mumbled to himself, shaking his head gently. Compared to the Force, this so-called Slunce Jauda of the Yowells is literal trash. If the Force were to be described as a big city with immediate ess to any transportation, the Slunce Jauda would be an outdated vige with just muddy paths. Another half an hourter, Alex was able toe up with ten or so different ways to amend the Yowells¡¯ traditional martial arts. In the end, he was able to pick one out that was most suitable for the Yowells, even the females would be able to train with this with ease. He noted the new amendments down on a piece of paper and left it on his table. It was already three in the afternoon when Waltz had arrived fashionablyte at the vi. Waltz was wearing a gorgeous bright red dress at the time. Maya couldn¡¯t help but stare in disbelief as Waltz got out of her Lamborghini. ¡°Ms. Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate? ¡°What is she doing here?¡± Back then, Maya had to meet up with the Thousand Miles Conglomerate due to work. She was able to meet Waltz as well. This gorgeous yet cruel woman had left quite an impression on Maya. As Lex Gunther¡¯s goddaughter, Waltz had made quite the name for herself as well. She was the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s sea freightpany and managed one-third of the water-borne trades in California. It was rumored that she was one of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld as well. ¡®Neither Alex nor Brittany should have connections to such a female boss, right? ¡®Is she here for me?¡¯ Maya immediately rushed up to wee her. ¡°Ms. F¡ª¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. However, Waltz held a bento in her hands and rushed up to Brittany instead, ignoring Maya. She cheerfully said, ¡°Madame, these are some pastries I bought from Aroma Patisserie of City South just for you! It¡¯s good for both health and beauty. Do try some, please!¡± She opened the bento and handed Brittany a pair of chopsticks. Maya was inplete shock. ¡®This¡­ is this really the Ms. Fleur I know?¡¯ ¡®Why would Ms. Fleur and Godmother know each other?¡¯ Just then, Waltz asked, ¡°Madame, where¡¯s Brother Alex? Is he not at home?¡± ¡°He¡¯s upstairs, I don¡¯t even know what he¡¯s doing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go check up on him.¡± After that, Waltz nodded gently towards Maya and went upstairs. Alex had already overheard their conversation downstairs. As Waltz knocked on the door, Alex responded, ¡°Come in. Have you been messing around the whole day? Your job as a ve seems quite easy.¡± Waltz closed the door and walked up to Alex with a serious expression. ¡°I went by West Hill Prison. The driver who got into an ident with your parentsst year diedst night. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 137 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 137 ¡°What? Died? ¡°How did he die?¡± Alex was extremely shocked. He almost jumped out of his seat. The truck driver, Anthony Pattingson was the most important lead to the truth about the ident. If he died, then that would mean they had lost their lead. ¡°I went there just to confirm it. They said that he tried escaping and ended up electrocuting himself. His whole body was charred, I even have photos of his corpse. Would you like to see?¡± Alex nodded. Waltz then scrolled through her phone to find the picture. The corpse really was charred ck, it was almost impossible to recognize him. ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°Not right?¡± Waltz turned to Alex. ¡°Is this not Anthony Pattingson?¡± ¡°No, it is him, but the cause of death isn¡¯t electrocution.¡± Others would not be able to notice if Anthony had been electrocuted or murdered. However, Alex was not like the average person¡ªhe was equipped with the ultimate knowledge of medicine. Just by looking at the picture, he could tell that this man was murdered, then electrocuted¡ªIt was to destroy evidence. ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that someone killed Pattingson?¡± Alex nodded and took her phone, zooming into the throat of the corpse. ¡°Do you see that? This bone looks out of ce, his neck was snapped. Look at his face too, people who have been electrocuted shouldn¡¯t have such an expression after death.¡± After exining, he passed the phone back to Waltz. However, his finger slipped and scrolled to the next picture in her gallery. Alex stared at the phone and his breathing became harder. It was a very ¡®special¡¯ selfie. ¡°Ahem, you have a great body.¡± Heplimented. Waltz¡¯s face turned red. ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m still wearing clothes in that picture, why are you so startled? You better do it with your wife soon, or you¡¯re going to end up getting reactions from anything that simply has holes in them!¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. After that, Waltz immediately dialed a number. She was calling one of her underlings back in Thousand Miles Conglomerate. She ordered them to keep investigating Anthony¡¯s death and that they must find his murderer. When the call ended, she turned to Alex and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if Pattingson really was murdered, we would definitely find the murderer.¡± Alex then walked towards the window and looked outside, his gaze was empty and hollow. He had just paid John a visit two days ago to warn him, yet Anthony died in such a short time after that. It would seem that John had vast connections if he was actually able to kill someone who was still in prison. Waltz approached Alex and said, ¡°Are you suspecting the Rockefellers?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I saw my dad¡¯s secretary just a while ago, she¡¯s in her 30s now. She became John¡¯s right-hand woman after my dad¡¯s death. One thing in particr was that I didn¡¯t expect her to be a fighter. She was pretty strong as well¡­ If I hadn¡¯t healed your wounds yesterday, even you wouldn¡¯t be able to match against her.¡± ¡°Oh? What¡¯s her name? I¡¯ll look into her for you.¡± ¡°Pepper Kimmich.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Just then, Waltz remembered what she was here for. ¡°Brother Alex, I already gathered all the materials you asked me to. So, when are we going to make those pills?¡± Alex was slightly taken aback. ¡°You¡¯re done gathering already?¡± She nodded enthusiastically. Alex replied, ¡°We have to get a special alchemy stove to make those pills. It¡¯s pretty hard to find one nowadays though. That¡¯s why I need to find a substitute, normal stoves won¡¯t cut it. We could always go to a silversmith and have one made.¡± Waltz folded her arms, tapping her chin with one finger. ¡°An alchemy stove? I think someone might have that, I¡¯ll give them a call.¡± This woman really is the underground tyrant of California¡ªher connections were far beyond belief. After the call, Waltz said, ¡°Yep, there¡¯re quite a few of those stoves in the Antique Market. Do you want to go take a look now?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 138 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 138 Alex signalled towards downstairs, and Waltz immediately caught on to his message. The Rockefellers were on edge after all. Who knows when they¡¯re going to send over hitmen again? Alex needed to make sure that Brittany was absolutely safe before leaving. Comment by Melisa Chan: not sure if this should be past or present? Due to ire¡¯s incident, Alex had to rush out this morning as well, leaving Brittany alone at home. This had already made him quite uneasy. And with Anthony¡¯s death, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to turn a blind eye to it. ¡°I¡¯ll make another call.¡± Waltz smiled. This time, Waltz called Azure. ¡°Alright, Azure would be here in a bit. He¡¯s bringing a few of our men to protect this ce too.¡± Alex furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Don¡¯t cause too much of a ruckus. My mom might not like that I¡¯m in contact with people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± Waltz turned around and red at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Are you looking down on us?¡± Alex decided to stay silent. Waltz then reassured him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they get it. They¡¯ll be secretly protecting her.¡± Alex nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, an idea came to mind¡­ finding someone to protect her would not make her any stronger so he still wasn¡¯tpletely reassured. ¡®I wonder if Mom could train with me as well? ¡®I don¡¯t need her to have great martial arts skills. I just need her to be able to protect herself. ¡®The Force is too hard and difficult to understand. I haven¡¯t been able to understand all of it too, so that¡¯s a no-go. ¡®A way to train her Chi¡­¡¯ Just then, his attentionnded on the paper on his table. It was the amended version of The Yowells¡¯ Slunce Jauda, suitable for all genders and ages. However¡­ his own mother required something more powerful, something with more potential to protect herself. He decided to try making more amendments with The Yowells¡¯ Slunce Jauda as the basics. He wanted to make something that would help strengthen Brittany¡¯s Chi. Within half an hour, Azure and his underlings arrived at Maple Vi. Thereafter, Alex and Waltz left and headed straight to the Antique Market. ¡°Tobias! I¡¯m here!¡± Waltz started yelling out loud as soon as she entered the store. She lifted her slender fingers and tapped on the counter. Everyone in the store seemed to be well acquainted with Waltz, referring to her as Ms. Fleur with the utmost respect. Alex was slightly weirded out, but he decided not to question anything. In just a few moments, a chubby man rushed out from the back. ¡°Ms. Fleur, you¡¯re here. I have prepared what you asked for. They¡¯re right inside. You¡­ and this good sir can go in and have a look.¡± Alex could tell that this man was speaking quite formally to Waltz. He was even bowing and nodding gently as well. It would seem that Waltz was quite powerful in this area. ¡°Shall we go in then, Brother Alex?¡± Waltz turned to Alex. ¡°Sure!¡± Tobias realized that Alex and Waltz were close from how she referred to him. Though he was surprised, he immediately became more respectful towards Alex as well. He had thought that Alex was just one of Waltz¡¯s underlings. He didn¡¯t expect him to be her ¡®Brother¡¯. As they went to the back room, three alchemy stoves were set out on the table. They were different in size and worn out. One of them seemed particrly shabbypared to the others¡ªit was missing a leg. It looked like something from the garbage bin. ¡°What¡¯s with this? How could you sell such trash?¡± ¡°Tobias, when did you start selling scrap metal, huh?¡± Tobias was trembling at this point. ¡°Ms. Fleur, didn¡¯t you ask me to bring out all the alchemy stoves I have? Alchemy stoves are quite rare now, they didn¡¯t have a market anyway. This is all I have. They¡¯re probably the only ones left in this market. Look at this one, this was consigned for sale.¡± Waltz turned to Alex. ¡°Brother, what do you say? Why don¡¯t we take this one? It looks the best out of the three.¡± Alex shook his head and said, ¡°No, I¡¯d like the shabbiest one.¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 139 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 139 ¡°What?¡± ¡°This one is missing a leg! It won¡¯t even stand upright, what use could it be?¡± Waltz spoke up, visibly confused. Alex¡¯s eyes lit up and replied calmly, ¡°It¡¯s the heaviest.¡± Waltz was speechless. ¡°I guess we¡¯re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What¡¯s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.¡± Alex smiled without saying a word, he was extremely excited. The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object. Tobias smiled. ¡°Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, he can just take it, I won¡¯t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would¡¯ve thrown it out if the base wasn¡¯t still intact.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be taking it then.¡± The stove wasn¡¯t big, yet it was quite heavy. However, such weight was nothing to Alex. Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in and eximed excitedly. ¡°Tobias, Tobias! We¡¯re in the green! In the green! A ssy imperial jadeite, it¡¯s quite ancient too! It¡¯s going to be a big deal!¡± Tobias¡¯ face flushed from excitement. ¡°Oh my god, really? A ssy jadeite too? How big is it? Where is it? Bring me to it now!¡± Suddenly, Tobias snapped back to reality, he realized that the two powerful figures, Waltz and Alex were still in his store. He turned around and apologized. ¡°Sorry, Ms. Fleur. I lost my senses for a second there.¡± Waltz asked, ¡°What were you guys talking about? What do you mean by ¡®in the green¡¯?¡± Tobias replied, ¡°That¡¯s a ng within the stone gamblingmunity. In the green means that someone found jadeite from the ores. A ssy imperial jadeite would be one of the best out there.¡± ¡®Jadeites?¡¯ Alex could feel his heart pounding harder. He was able to absorb some Chi from a jadest time, helping him improve The Force to the third level. He was able to sense the Chi flowing within the jade, hence he was wondering if he could feel it within the ores as well. With this thought still in mind, he turned to Waltz. ¡°Waltz, I¡¯m a little interested in stone gambling, can we go take a look too?¡± Waltz wasn¡¯t interested in any way. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Money didn¡¯t even matter to her, let alone stone gambling. The only thing she was interested in was martial arts. However, since Alex was so enthusiastic in going, she couldn¡¯t refuse. They left the stove back in the store again and headed towards the stone gambling store. The news about the ssy imperial jadeite spread like wildfire and the store had be extremely crowded. Everyone was talking about the lucky guy who bought the stone. The guy was still around too. It was an old man and he was jumping from excitement. His stone wasn¡¯tpletely cut yet and someone was using high water pressure to get the jade out carefully. Normally, ssy imperial jades were more expensive than the one that Felix gifted him, implying that Chi should be flowing within this jade too. However, Alex couldn¡¯t even sense a hint of Chi in the jade at all. He shook his head gently, he knew that he was getting too hopeful. If every piece of jade were to have Chi within them, he would be able to absorb an insane amount of Chi by paying a visit to a jade store. This meant that only a small number of jades would have Chi flowing in them. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice within the crowd. ¡°Honey, I¡¯d like to try stone gambling, I want to be in the green too!¡± Alex lifted his gaze and realized that the woman speaking was Chloe Marite. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 140 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 140 She was wearing an expensive Chanel outfit, paired with an LV purse as well. She looked just like any other richdy. She was clinging to a man, though the man was no longer the one he saw thest time. Instead, this time he was a greasy old man in his 40s. However, this was quite normal for Chloe¡ªshe could move on from one man to another with great speed. Just then, Chloe noticed Alex as well. Startled, she immediately put on a smug face and red at him angrily. She had been pped multiple times back in L.G. Balfour and put the me on Alexpletely. She later heard that Alex was only able to buy jewellery due to Thousand Miles Conglomerate owing a favor to his father. He was still the loser that relied on the Assexes after all. Why would she be scared of him now, then? She immediately said out loud, ¡°Alex, why are you here? You useless loser of a sissy! Are you trying to get yourself a cheap deal? Can you even afford them?¡± Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. Alex was expressionless. ¡°What concern is that to you?¡± Chloe replied, ¡°Of course it concerns me. This is a high ss ce. You rely on your wifepletely to survive so you¡¯re nothing but a useless loser! Your presence alone brings us down. You don¡¯t have the right to be here.¡± Chloe¡¯s voice was extremely loud and high-pitched. Everyone started staring at Alex, gossiping softly¡­ ¡°This man looks quite average but I didn¡¯t expect him to have to rely on his wife. I guess this is what people mean by ¡®don¡¯t judge a book by its cover¡¯.¡± ¡°Young people nowadays are just sozy. All they want is a meteoric rise, yet all they do is cut corners and rely on others.¡± The man next to Chloe spoke up, ¡°Honey, who is this man? Who is he to you?¡± Chloe decided not to mention that Alex broke up with her in university. If she were to reveal that, she would be admitting that Alex wasn¡¯t interested in her. That would just be extremely humiliating. Instead, she said, ¡°This bastard threw a tantrum in the hospital. He didn¡¯t have the money to pay for hospital bills, yet he resorted to violence to get what he wanted! He even pped me!¡± ¡®What? Tantrum?¡¯ This was not looking good. Everyone despised people who threw tantrums in hospitals. They started ring at Alex. Chloe¡¯s greasy husband huffed as well. ¡°Honey, just you wait. I¡¯ll get revenge for you.¡± He looked as if he was of high status and cockily walked up to the boss of the store. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Ryan Hunter. This person is nothing but a lowly pest who brings harm to our society. Could you please kick him out?¡± As a member of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Ryan was aware of how powerful his title was in California. The boss of the store, along with everyone else started paying their respects to Ryan, trying to get on his good side. Chloe loved this feeling of superiority. This was exactly how she wanted her man to be, someone who was idolised by many. The boss replied, ¡°Ah, Mr. Hunter. That won¡¯t be a problem. Men, kick this ugly pest out of the store. If he dares to defy us, break his legs.¡± The boss of the stone gambling store was fairly rich. Everything in his store was worth hundreds of millions, hence he had hired quite a few bodyguards as well. All of them were great fighters, and some had even served in the military. The bodyguards approached Alex, looking as if they were going to lift him up and throw him out of the store. Waltz, who had walked away for a brief while, immediately blocked their path as she protected him with her body. ¡°He¡¯s with me! ¡°Now let¡¯s see who would darey a finger on him?¡± She was infuriated. ¡®How dare these people treat Alex like this? Both Godfather and Jarsurya worshipped him! I¡¯m willing to be his special ve too. How dare they bully him like this, threatening to throw him out?¡¯ Chloe noticed Waltz¡¯s red dress, visibly envious. She would love to wear such dresses as well, but she didn¡¯t have the body for it. ¡°Yo, loser! So you¡¯ve switched women. Could it be that your wife kicked you out of the house? You probably couldn¡¯t bear ving away for the Assexes, huh? Well, good for you! You found yourself another to rely on! What does she do, huh? Does she work in a nightclub? Tsk tsk tsk, so you rely on women, and this one earns a living by pleasing men. You guys are the OTP!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 141 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 141 It was normal for someone like Chloe to not recognize Waltz. Besides, Ryan, who ims that he¡¯s the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate didn¡¯t recognize her as well. Waltz was Lex¡¯s goddaughter after all¡ªPrincess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡ª hence, only the core members in Hell¡¯s Angels were able to meet Waltz. Ryan, on the other hand, was just one of the insignificant managers within Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s manypanies. Tobias was fully aware of Waltz¡¯s identity. However, he didn¡¯t want to speak up. No one would listen to a chubby man like him anyway. Thus, he just stood silently in the crowd, watching Chloe dig her own grave. He couldn¡¯t help but put on a cold smirk¡ªhe knew he was in for a good show. ¡®This is so exciting!¡¯ Waltz was furious as she took five steps forward. However, the crowd was oblivious to Waltz¡¯s identity as well. Under Chloe¡¯s influence, they foolishly insulted Waltz¡­ ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this gorgeous girl to be working in a nightclub.¡± ¡°I wonder what nightclub she works at, I¡¯d love to support her.¡± ¡°Her looks and her body are priceless, I¡¯d be willing to pay ten thousand dor just for one night with her!¡± Alex took a nce at Waltz¡ªher beautiful eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent. She approached Chloe and said coldly, ¡°Are you done yet?¡± Chloe stared at her with disgust. ¡°What? Why would you be scared of gossip if you¡¯re working in that field? Look at you, wearing something like this out in the open. Nightclubs aren¡¯t open yet, and yet here you are spreading your legs open. Mighty professional, I must say! I know quite a few rich men if you¡¯d like, I¡¯ll introduce you to them.¡± ¡® Waltz was tall¡ª172 cm, a whole ten centimeters taller than Chloe. Simply with one hard p, Chloe¡¯s left cheek swelled up and a thin stream of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. She yelped in pain, spitting out blood along with a tooth. ¡°Ah! You b*tch! How dare you p me?¡± Chloe screamed in anger, looking as if she was about to explode. Another pnded on Chloe¡¯s face, causing her to spit out another two of her teeth. Her nose was now bleeding, her eyes swollen from the impact. She turned to Ryan. ¡°Honey, this b*tch pped me! Beat her up for me! No, wait, have your men from Thousand Miles Conglomerate help us out. Seems like that loser knows how to fight.¡± Ryan was incredibly infuriated from seeing his wife being pped. He stood out and said, ¡°How dare you p my wife, you b*tch? Do you have a death wish? Do you even know who I am? I¡¯m the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.¡± Waltz was expressionless. ¡°Correction, you ¡®were¡¯.¡±Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What? You b*tch of a prostitute, you probably don¡¯t even know what the Thousand Miles Conglomerate is? I¡ªAh¡­ Ahhhh! My leg!¡± Waltz had broken his leg with just one stomp¡ªit was aminuted fracture. ¡°You, you dare to break my leg? You¡¯re so dead, so dead! Just you wait, I¡¯ll have myrades over right now!¡± Waltz replied coldly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait.¡± Watching Waltz¡¯s brutal methods, a chill went down everyone¡¯s spine. Ryan immediately pulled out his phone and called for hisrades. One of Thousand Miles Conglomerate stations was nearby, staffed with a few underlings. Within 5 minutes, a big group of men barged into the store. There were easily more than twenty of them in the group. ¡°Who¡¯s Ryan Hunter? The manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± One of them asked. They had no idea who Ryan Hunter was. However, everyone had each other¡¯s backs when it came to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. If someone was in need of help, a whole group of them woulde to their rescue. This was one of the reasons why Thousand Miles Conglomerate was so sessful. Watching such a big group barge in, everyone was terrified. They immediately took a few steps back to make way for the group. ¡®They only have themselves to me for this. Why did they decide to go against Thousand Miles Conglomerate anyway?¡¯ A lot of men in the store were more furious at Alex. Waltz was a gorgeous woman¡ªwomen like her shouldn¡¯t be beaten up, but spared instead. If anything, the only one who should be beaten up was Alex. They didn¡¯t care if he ended up dying in a ditch. ¡°Me, me, me!¡± Chloe yelled out to them. ¡°Here! My husband is the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 142 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 142 The leader approached them and stared at Ryan. Ryan, on the other hand, had already prepared his worker tag for identification. The leader of the group yelled, ¡°So who was the one with the balls to break our fellow manager¡¯s leg? Own up to it now and I¡¯ll just break one of yours. If not, you¡¯ll have to bear further consequences.¡± Chloe couldn¡¯t hold in her anger anymore. She pointed at Waltz. ¡°It was her, that b*tch of a prostitute! She broke my husband¡¯s leg and knocked my teeth out! Beat her up now! Lock her up in a cage! Humiliate her in public! Just do something!¡± The group of men looked towards Waltz and were stunned. ¡°Ms¡­¡± ¡°It was me,¡± Waltz said dismissively without even lifting her gaze. The leader was sweating cold bullets. Ryan may not recognize Waltz. But, the leader was one of the members in the underground association. How could he not recognize her? ¡®This was truly a big mistake on Ryan¡¯s end due to his unfamiliarity with Waltz¡­ No, his wife called Princess Fleur a prostitute, that¡¯s just a death wish!¡¯ Chloe yelled, ¡°What are you waiting for? Get moving!¡± The man then pped hard across Chloe¡¯s face. This time, Chloe couldn¡¯t even open her left eye and spat out more teeth. ¡°Ahhhh! Why did you p me! You should¡¯ve pped that b*tch!¡± Another two psnded on Chloe¡¯s face. Chloe fell to the ground, she couldn¡¯t even speak due to the immense pain around her mouth. Ryan was shocked. ¡°What are you guys doing? I called you here to teach that b*tch a lesson. Why did you p my wife?¡± Exactly, why is that? Everyone fell speechless. This looked like something out of a drama scene. The leader replied, ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re ignorant.¡± He then stomped on Ryan¡¯s other leg, breaking it as well. ¡°As the sales manager of Thousand Miles Corp, how dare you not recognize Princess Fleur? How are you even the manager?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Ryan cried in pain. ¡°I really don¡¯t know her. I don¡¯t go to nightclubs often. I¡­ Ah, Princess Fleur, Ms.¡­ Fleur?¡± Realization finally hit Ryan in the head. Princess Fleur, this woman is the almighty Waltz Fleur. She was in a position that he could never reach, no matter what he did. Immediately, all Ryan could feel was helplessness and despair. Due to the immense pain in his legs, he cked out and fell unconscious. Everyone was silent, as if they could hear a pin drop in the store. No one expected this gorgeous woman in a red dress would be one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld, the almighty Princess Fleur. They had really thought that she was just some prostitute from a nightclub. This was too big of a mistake. Especially the men who had joked about using her services just a while ago. All of their faces were pale white, trembling with fear. Chloe finally realized who this woman was. At this moment, fear, regret, confusion and shock were all boiling up inside her. ¡°Alex, so you managed to hook up with Waltz Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Well aren¡¯t you just the greatest?¡± ¡°Princess Fleur, how would you like us to deal with these two?¡± The leader asked. ¡°Throw them out. Oh, by the way, this woman seems to be quite interested in working in a nightclub. Let¡¯s grant her wish!¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yes, Ms. Fleur.¡± Trembling, Chloe fell into the depths of despair as well. With this, everything was settled. The men from Thousand Miles Conglomerate left as soon as they¡¯re done. However, the crowd was now staring at Waltz with fear and respect. Alex had only taken a few nces at them this whole while. He was mainly focused on a few rocks that were lying by the side. He was able to sense a slight hint of Chiing from them. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 143 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 143 Waltz disliked being put in the spotlight in such a way. She pulled Alex to the side. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Brother! I heard stone gambling is highly risky. And to be honest, you don¡¯t need any more money. What¡¯s so great about this anyway? Let¡¯s just get those pills done!¡± ¡®Pills?¡¯ Taken out of context, many people misunderstood her words. Everyone stared at the two puzzledly. Could it be that Princess Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate was that type of person? However, no one dared to speak up against her. Alex shook his head. ¡°I¡¯d like to buy some for fun.¡± Waltz waved dismissively. ¡°Fine, have some fun then. Which one would you like? I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± ¡®Tsk tsk, just look at her, isn¡¯t she just wife material?¡¯ The men in the area took nces at Alex¡ªthey were extremely jealous of him. Apart from Waltz¡¯s status, her appearance was just etherealpared to most women. As someone who was able to win Waltz¡¯s heart over, they figured that Alex must be of high status and quite respected within Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡­ Back in ancient days, a princess¡¯s spouse wouldn¡¯t be regarded to be that far from royalty himself. Besides, Waltz referring to Alex as her Brother struck fear in the hearts of everyone in the crowd. Alex had briefly scanned all the ores in the stone gambling store and managed to identify three stones in particr that had Chi flowing within. He didn¡¯t need Waltz¡¯s help in getting any of them since there weren¡¯t too many. Alex walked up to the stones and picked out the three that had caught his eye. One was arger piece while the other two were smaller. Therge one was as big as a bench. While the other two were the sizes of basketballs. Tobias was fairly obsessed with stone gambling. However, as Alex picked out the stones, he shook his head and approached him. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, these three ores don¡¯t look so good. There¡¯s a low chance that you¡¯d be in the green with these. Why don¡¯t you choose some other ones? I¡¯ve gambled quite a few times, I might be of help.¡± Alex shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, I¡¯d like these three.¡± Tobias looked as if he had something to say, but he decided not to speak up. He couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡®Why is CEO Fleur¡¯s Brother so weird? He chose the shabbiest alchemy stove just a while ago. Now he¡¯s getting these useless rocks that won¡¯t ever get him in the green. Is he destined to have such bad luck?¡¯ ¡°Excuse me, how much are these in total? I¡¯ll have them.¡± Alex turned to the store owner. The store owner stared at Waltz and didn¡¯t dare to ask for money. So, he just told Alex that everything was for free. Alex shook his head. ¡°Just tell me how much they cost. I, Alex Rocekefeller, am not a cheapskate.¡± The store owner didn¡¯t have any opinions on Alex¡¯s decision, though he definitely didn¡¯t want to give it out for free. With precise calctions, the total cost of the stones was five hundred and thirty thousand dors. In just a few minutes, the trade was done. Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Princess Fleur? What brings such a beauty to our area? Do you know how to gamble on stones too?¡± A young man walked out of the crowd. He seemed scruffy, a devilish smirk was stered on his face. However, Alex could tell that he was a fighter with one look. He was in the Intermediate-Royal rank too. Waltz huffed as soon as she saw the young man. She didn¡¯t want to pay any further attention to him. She turned to Alex. ¡°Brother, this guy is just loathsome, I hate him. Just ignore him.¡± Alex smiled, he knew that he would never acknowledge such people. Seeing how close Alex and Waltz were, the man was shocked. He smiled and said, ¡°Woah, am I seeing things, Princess Fleur? You¡¯re here to gamble on stones with a man, and he isn¡¯t even Azure! Now this is some top tier gossip. Could it be that you¡¯re cheating on Azure?¡± Original from N?velDrama.Org. Waltz became angry. ¡°Shut your trap, Dicky! Azure is my brother, get your facts right!¡± It was obvious that Dicky wasn¡¯t his real name. His real name was Dickinson Cohen. Dickinson chuckled. ¡°You may treat him as a sibling, but he might not! Oh, no no no, he might be trying to get it on with you!¡± Suddenly, he noticed the ores that Alex bought. Dickinson said loudly again, ¡°Oh, Mr. Will, you actually sold that cesspool rock? What a miracle! How much did you sell them for? I guess there really is some rich fool wasting his money on such crap.¡± The ore that Dickinson was talking about was the bigger rock that Alex had bought. This rock had quite the journey when it was being transported to the store. During transportation, the ore fell off the truck and smashed a cesspool open, falling directly into the pit. Knowing that Alex had bought this rock, Dickinson found an opportunity to insult Waltz. Alex seemed like Waltz¡¯s close friend after all. Dickinson just couldn¡¯t help it. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 144 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 144 Waltz was infuriated. Even the crowd gathered up their courage to start gossiping about them upon Dickinson¡¯s appearance¡­ ¡°Mr. Will kept this ore here for more than a year but no one wanted to buy it.¡± ¡°Just look at it, it¡¯s so dull. How could it be in the green? Anyone with any gambling experience would know that that¡¯s just a useless rock. Only those who are inexperienced would think otherwise.¡± ¡°As Princess Fleur¡¯s brother, you¡¯d think he¡¯d know better. Who is this guy anyway?¡± Waltz red at Alex as she heard the insults, clearly frustrated and annoyed. Alex turned to Dickinson and said calmly, ¡°If there really was a jade within this rock, what would you do?¡± Dickinson cackled. ¡°If this cesspool rock does have a jade in it, I¡¯ll eat this rock up.¡± ¡°Okay then, you promised.¡± Suddenly, Alex remembered that Charis had said something simr before. He didn¡¯t really hold a grudge against her and let her off easy¡­ However, this guy was another case. ¡°Excuse me, cut it open for me. Remember to be careful.¡± Alex said to the stonecutter. Waltz pulled on the corner of his shirt. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just leave?¡± She was afraid of humiliation. More importantly, Dickinson was her enemy¡ªhe worked for Frank ardo after all. The two had fought in the past and Waltz was defeated. Alex replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Dickinson smiled as he watched Waltz, as if he was looking at a clown. He didn¡¯t even dare Alex to do anything if the rock were to be empty. Waltz¡¯s humiliation was enough for him¡­ He wasn¡¯t even worried of losing. Only a fool would actually eat a rock. With loud buzzing, the rock was being cut open with a machine. It was extremely intriguing to watch two of the best fighters in California gambling on stones, everyone wanted to see if the ore really contained a jadeite. However, most of them just wanted to see Waltz¡¯s brother publicly humiliated. Why? ¡®You already have Princess Fleur by your side. How could it be possible for your luck to be any greater?¡¯ The stonecutter suddenly eximed. ¡°There¡¯s misting out!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°How could mist being out so quickly? This is the first cut, isn¡¯t it? How would miste out from this side?¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Dickinson was shocked, he rushed to the rock and bent over next to it, staring at it intently. Waltz was surprised as well. She turned to Alex and asked, ¡°Are you really that lucky?¡± Alex smiled softly. ¡°I¡¯ve had pretty good luck my whole life.¡± The stone cutting proceeded. Three minutester, the stonecutter eximed again. ¡°Oh my god! Yes, yes! We¡¯re in the green!¡± Five minutester, he shouted out once more. ¡°We really are in the green! This is an amazing find!¡± At this moment, everyone was appalled upon the sight of a green surfaceing out of the ore. Everyone didn¡¯t expect such a dull rock to contain any jadeites. However, the show had just started. Another ten minutester, Tobias yelled, ¡°Holy sh*t! Oh my god! This is unreal! This is¡­ a ssy emerald! This is especially rare!¡± Yet another ten minutes passed and the stonecutter had cut up the ore from three different sides. A large emerald that was about the size of a basketball surfaced though, only a small part of the ore had been cut open. Dickinson sat on the damp ground, shocked to his core. ¡°How¡­ just how big is this thing?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 145 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 145 Dickinson wasn¡¯t the only one who was appalled. Everyone in the crowd had widened eyes and mouths agape. They were pushing against each other, trying to peek at the stone as much as they could. Some even took out their phones to take pictures¡ªthey wanted to post about it on their social media pages. This was a once in a lifetime experience. As for the store owner, Mr. Will, he was turning green as soon as he saw the emerald in the ore. Even just from its slightly exposed surface, he could see it¡¯s magnificent glow and vibrant color. This was an exceptionally rare piece. Based on its market value, it could be sold for more than 100 million. This was 100 million that they were talking about! He had stored this ore for more than a year, yet he didn¡¯t realize its value at all. He regretted his decision immensely. However, gambling was solely based on luck after all. As someone who had been in the mining industry for quite some time, this was the first time that Mr. Will had ever seen such a precious gem. Suddenly, a middle-aged man spoke up. ¡°Are you selling this emerald? I¡¯ll buy it for 80 million!¡± Alex continued to stare at the emerald¡ªhe was able to sense a strong saturated core of Chi stored within the gem. He was satisfied andpletely ignored the middle-aged man¡¯s offer. Tobias huffed. ¡°Kayden Park, are you trying to fool innocent sellers again? 80 million? Just look at this thing¡ªjust its mere surface would cost 100 million. Don¡¯t you dare touch it.¡± Kayden smiled coldly with darkened eyes. ¡°Do you want it too, Tobias? Can you even afford this?¡± Alex turned to the stonecutter and said, ¡°Please continue.¡± Kayden offered once more. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it with 100 million dors, kiddo. You should be grateful with this amount.¡± Kayden had just arrived, so he had not recognized Waltz. He even tried to pat Alex on the shoulder. Alex blocked his hand instinctively. ¡°No, I¡¯m not selling it. I wouldn¡¯t even if you offered me a billion.¡± Kayden huffed, his expression was grim. ¡°Hey kiddo, beware of the consequences of sudden wealth. You¡¯ll never know when you¡¯ll lose it all.¡± Kayden wanted toe up with an evil scheme, to hire someone to rob Alex as he was on his way home. Everyone looked at Kayden, treating him like an idiot. Princess Fleur was standing right by his side, yet this man was openly threatening Alex like that. The stone cutting process continued. Another twenty minutester, the entire piece of emerald had been extracted from the ore. It was as big as two basketballsbined. This would mean that the rare gemstone upied one-third of this ore. Many were gasped in shock, while some took pictures with their phones. Tobias gulped. ¡°This is a rare emerald gemstone. Such a big one too. This is priceless, this is just priceless!¡± It was impossible to estimate this gemstone¡¯s value ording to the market price. This could easily be valued at 300 million or more. However, this was not some simple math question that could be easily solved. Waltz was stunned this time round too. She excitedly pounced on Alex and smiled. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re rich!¡± Dickinson stood up immediately. He looked confident¡ªas the sixth best fighter in the underworld, money wasn¡¯t important to him. He noticed that Waltz really wasn¡¯t interested in Azure and was now closer to another man. Dickinson was extremely excited about this and took out his phone to take a picture, smiling to himself. ¡°Oh poor, poor Azure. You really have been cheated on, huh?¡± Waltz looked over coldly. ¡°Hey Dicky, bon app¨¦tit. Enjoy your rocks.¡± Dickinson was taken aback. ¡°Why should I eat rocks? I¡¯m no fool.¡± Alex¡¯s expression turned cold as well. ¡°You lost, suck it up.¡± Dickinson looked extremely smug. ¡°So what if I don¡¯t want to admit defeat? What did I say just now? Do you have proof? No, right? But hey brat, I admire you. You¡¯re daring enough to take Azure¡¯s woman. He¡¯s from Thousand Miles Conglomerate too, you know? Wouldn¡¯t you be scared of getting your d*ck cut off the next day as revenge?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I admire you too, you¡¯re still smiling, even now.¡± Dickinson cackled. ¡°So what if I¡¯m smiling? What can you even do to me? Square up if you will,e at me!¡± Suddenly, Waltz went up to him and pped Dickinson hard across his face. Dickinson couldn¡¯t dodge it at all, she was way too fast. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Appalled, he said, ¡°There¡¯s no way you were able to p me.¡± Waltz huffed. ¡°I can cripple you if I wanted to.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 146 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 146 Due to Waltz¡¯spetitiveness and sudden improvement in fighting, she had wanted to teach this loathsome piece of sh*t a lesson. Thus, she didn¡¯t hold back when she pped him. ¡°Heh, you¡¯ve lost to me before, Fleur. Did you forget? Does your arm no longer hurt?¡± Back then, he had dislocated Waltz¡¯s arm. Upon hearing the exchange in provocation, the crowd dispersed immediately. However, the big fight didn¡¯t happen as expected. Dickinson flung his leg towards Waltz, yet she was able to grab him by the ankle and threw him to the ground. Dickinson¡¯s arm smashed against one of the ores. With a loud crunch, his arm was fractured. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Holy sh*t! You, you¡¯re advanced now!¡± Waltz appeared proud, a smug look was stered on her face. ¡°Hey Dicky, remember to avoid me if you can. Oh, by the way, suck it up, loser.¡± She picked up a small stone and shoved it into Dickinson¡¯s mouth. The sharp ends cut the insides of his mouth, causing it to bleed profusely. The color drained from Kayden¡¯s face, his jaw trembled slightly. He finally realized that the woman next to Alex was Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. To think he wanted to hire someone to rob them clean. He couldn¡¯t help but sweat cold bullets. Half an hourter, the two smaller ores that Alex bought were cut open as well. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but gasp and cry with envy. ¡°This can¡¯t be possible, there¡¯s just no way!¡± ¡°How could this be?¡± ¡°All three of them, all three of them had emeralds in them, oh my god!¡± Lots of people had posted the pictures onto their social media pages as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Alex turned to Waltz. The two brought the priceless emeralds with them as they stopped by Tobias¡¯ store to get the alchemy stove and headed back to Maple Vi. It was a relief that the stove wasn¡¯t too big and they weren¡¯t driving Waltz¡¯s Lanborghini. Otherwise, they¡¯d have to have another car sent over. ¡°Brother!¡± Waltz said in a sweet voice, her eyes were glistening. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°How are you so amazing? You¡¯re a fighter, a medic, an alchemist and you know how to gamble on stones too! Oh, what do I do? I¡¯m falling in love with you!¡± Alex flicked her cheeks. ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°Ow!¡± Waltz cocked her head as she covered her cheek with one hand. ¡°You¡¯re just so great, Brother. But look at your little sister, I¡¯m just so weak! I would be an embarrassment to you with such weakness, wouldn¡¯t I? So Brother, can you do me a favor and improve my fighting skills again? I don¡¯t need you to help me improve drastically, I¡¯d just like to rank up to the Mystic rank.¡± ¡®Ah f*ck, so that¡¯s the catch.¡¯ Alex said crossly, ¡°Do you think this is a game? You think you could just rank up as if you¡¯re buying in- game VIP purchases? There aren¡¯t many shortcuts in the martial arts. If we were to force growth upon your skills, you¡¯d be limited from further growth in the future. Don¡¯t worry, as soon as the chakra pills are done, I¡¯ll help you out once more. As for ranking up, that¡¯ll depend on how talented you are.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°Oh, and don¡¯t tell anyone about the stone gambling incident. The emeralds are useful to me.¡± When he returned home, Alex realized that Azure and the others who were secretly protecting the house had left. With the stove and the materials, they attempted to make the chakra pills. However, the stove required some maintenance, it was missing a leg after all. Alex was excited to look more into the energy flowing in the stove as well. However, just as he was about to start his research, Dorothy gave him a call. ¡°Alex, can youe by my ce?¡± Dorothy sounded gloomy. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°My mom went stone gambling at the Antique Street and lost 500 thousand dors. She¡¯s in debt now because of this. The lenders havee to our house demanding their money back. Do¡­ you have enough money?¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Alex replied understandingly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 147 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 147 Alex excused himself and rushed off to Assex Vi by car. He couldn¡¯t help but mumbleints in his mind on the way there. ¡®Who knew ire was stone gambling at the Antique Street too? Did she see me? If she knew that I got myself rare ssy emeralds from all three ores I bought, she would surely force me to hand them over like she always does!¡¯ Unfortunately, Alex ran into California¡¯s rush hour¡ªevery road was as jammed up as they could be. Alex took forty-five minutes to reach Assex Vi. Upon entry, he realized that all three members of the family were present. There were another two men and a woman in the vi too. Alex was able to recognize the woman¡ªa middle-aged woman and one of ire¡¯s best friends. They often hung out together. He vaguely remembered that her name was Lucia Whitney. Lucia was speaking to ire. ¡°Oh ire, Brandon is a good man. I watched him grow, you know? He¡¯s now the department manager of a listedpany and his yearly sry is over a million. Where could you ever find such a catch? Just say yes and you won¡¯t have to pay back the 500 thousand dors. We¡¯d be family then, right?¡± Upon listening to those words, Alex was furious. ¡®Who the hell is this Brandon guy? He looks like he¡¯s in his thirties. Who is he proposing to? ¡®Dorothy? ¡®Well it couldn¡¯t be Beatrice, right? She¡¯s still studying at university.¡¯ He rushed up to them angrily. ¡°If any of you dare to f*cking try stealing my wife, I¡¯ll make sure you regret making that decision for life.¡± Lucia shot a few dirty res at Alex and huffed. ¡°Why are you here, you loser? Were we talking to you? Who do you think you are?¡± Lucia had no respect for Alex as ire often bad-mouthed about Alex to her. Dorothy pulled Alex to the side and whispered, ¡°Not me, it¡¯s my mom.¡± ¡°What¡­ what do you mean ¡®your mom¡¯?¡± Dorothy stared at Brandon, visibly annoyed. ¡°That guy likes my mom.¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ Alex was shocked. ire was most likely forty-six years old by now, but this Brandon was only in his early thirties. Why would he like someone with such arge age difference? They were sixteen years apart. This was just outrageous. However, ire didn¡¯t look bad herself. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans and a white bodycon tshirt. She may look younger than Brandon, but the maturity was definitely there. ¡®No wonder this guy was into her.¡¯ Alex was puzzled and said, ¡°Well, that¡¯s great. Your mom has been single for quite a few years, right? She¡¯s so bored that she has to pick fights with me. Maybe getting a date would redirect her energy towards love instead of yelling.¡± Dorothy was infuriated. ¡°How old is he anyway? Do I have to call him ¡®Dad¡¯?¡± Beatrice joined in on their conversation as well. ¡°I don¡¯t care, I just won¡¯t agree to this! Look at that guy, he looks oddly cunning. He¡¯s definitely up to no good. He lent Mom money just so he could force her into marriage. Hey, Rockefeller, aren¡¯t you quite the fighter? Kick them out now!¡± Alex took a nce at Beatrice and decided that it was a waste of energy and time to even speak to her. ¡°Your mom went stone gambling? Did she mention anything when she came back?¡± Alex asked. He was concerned about his emeralds, there was a lot of Chi stored in them after all. If he were to absorb all the Chi within them, he would be able to strengthen his core. Strengthening his core was the first step to mastering the Force. ¡°Not really!¡± At this moment. ire rejected Lucia¡¯s offer. She might be greedy and might not have a lot of savings, but she still had high standards for men. This Brandon guy was nothingpared to Felix, why would she be into him? Realizing that his proposal had failed, Brandon showed his true colors. ¡°You¡¯re rejecting me? Fine then, give me my money back!¡± ire pointed towards Alex. ¡°I don¡¯t have any money. If you guys want your money back, get it from him. He¡¯s my son-inw. You can kidnap him to be your ve or whatever, sell him to human traffickers if you will. Oh, and look at his car, it¡¯s probably of value too right? Just don¡¯te for me.¡± Alex was speechless. She really was a one-of-a-kind mother-inw.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Brandon turned to look at the car and realized that it was a BMW M8. He was shocked. He had always wanted to buy this model, but didn¡¯t have the money to. If they were to pay him back with this car, he would be able to benefit greatly from this. ¡°Alright then, you guys can pay me back with this. It¡¯s mine now.¡± Brandonughed as he patted the hood of the car. ¡°Get your hands off of it. What are you, stupid? Or do you think I¡¯m a fool? This car costs two million, and how much does she owe you again?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 148 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 148 ire jumped up from her seat, her eyes lit up. ¡°What? This car costs two million? Where did you get all that money from?¡± Alex paid no attention to her. All he wanted to do was resolve the issue and head home immediately. He wanted to keep researching on the alchemy stove. ¡°Show me the IOU and give me your bank ount number. I¡¯ll pay you back for the amount she owes.¡± Lucia stared back at him in disbelief. ¡°Do you even have the money? Everyone knows that you begged and grovelled for 100 thousand dors. Don¡¯t make such a bluff if you can¡¯t bear the consequences!¡± Alex red coldly at Lucia, as if he was looking right into her soul. She trembled, a chill went down her spine. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Lucia, my mother-inw may not be the brightest bulb, but don¡¯t you dare try to scam her. If I were to find out that you two were working together to scam both her and her money, you¡¯re dead meat. No one would save your sorry *sses.¡± Alex said in a cold tone. ire stomped her feet. ¡°Who are you calling dumb?¡± Alex ignored her yells once again. ¡°You brat, how dare you threaten us?¡± Lucia¡¯s husband, who was standing next to her, raised his hand to p Alex. Alex pped his hand away and grabbed him by the neck. He then lifted his whole body up, as if he was as light as a feather. ¡°Remember these words. No one can take advantage of my family!¡± After releasing his grip, the man choked on his breath, his eyes were filled with terror. With a light beep, the transaction wasplete. Alex had transferred 500 thousand to Brandon and destroyed the IOU. And so the Whitneys rushed off after receiving the money. Alex pulled Dorothy to the side and asked, ¡°Dorothy, do you not have any money?¡± Dorothy replied, ¡°Mypany had just signed a few contracts recently. We didn¡¯t have enough money to get a new batch of materials, so I used my money first and don¡¯t have much on me now. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll pay you back as soon as we make money from the contracts.¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay me back, my money is yours too. Here, I have ten million, you can spend it however you like.¡± Dorothy was shocked, yet she seemed to have remembered something. ¡°Wasn¡¯t this a gift from Mr. Carter? No, we can¡¯t use this. We might not have much money now, but we¡¯ll earn more as we go. We have to return this money to them, or else we¡¯ll always be of a lower ss than them.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Alex had almost forgotten about the bank card that Charles gave him. He didn¡¯t even check how much was in the card. However, Alex couldn¡¯t find a better way to exin the money he had on him as of now. Since Dorothy insisted on not taking it, he gave up trying to persuade her. After the Whitneys left, Dorothy scolded ire. ¡°Mom, what were you thinking? Do you even know anything about stone gambling? How could you just blindly follow others like that? Well, look how that turned out, we don¡¯t have much money left now.¡± ire sat on the sofa nonchntly and replied, ¡°It¡¯s just 500 thousand. You¡¯re the CEO of a big company. The wholepany is yours and your profit would most likely be more than millions or so. I¡¯m your mom, how could you be so stingy with me? I thought I raised you to be better than that.¡± Dorothy wanted to m her own head against a wall. ire then started scolding Alex again. ¡°And you! You¡¯re driving a luxurious car that¡¯s worth two million, and you¡¯re able to just give 500 thousand out like that! How much personal savings do you actually have? Hand it all over now, Dorothy must have given you that money.¡± Dorothy retorted. ¡°I never gave him any money, it¡¯s his own savings.¡± ¡°He¡¯s my son-inw, his money is mine too.¡± Dorothy fell speechless and changed the topic. ¡°No, back to stone gambling. Just don¡¯t ever go stone gambling again! You don¡¯t know anything about gambling, do you? Sure, you might be able to hit the jackpot, but you¡¯d lose everything with just one bet too!¡± ire replied, ¡°It¡¯s all just based on luck. Someone was able to get rare emeralds just today! Like, god damn, that person was insane! He bought three ores with just 500 thousand dors and all of the ores had rare emeralds inside, they¡¯re all priceless! I heard the market price for them would easily be over 500 million. Everyone is calling him the Stone Gambling Prince now. Do you know how amazing it would be to have him as my son-inw? Too bad I didn¡¯t bump into him.¡± Alex rubbed his nose gently. ¡®Phew, that was close. Thank god, you didn¡¯t bump into me. That would¡¯ve been quite a mess.¡¯ Suddenly, Beatrice screamed excitedly. ¡°Oh my god, Mom is telling the truth! There really is a Stone Gambling Prince! Everyone in my ss group chat is going nuts about him. There¡¯s a video of him too. Look, Sis.¡± ¡®What the f*ck?¡¯ Alex felt extremely uneasy. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 149 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 149 Beatrice took out her phone and opened up her ss group chat. She then found the video that she was talking about. Original from N?velDrama.Org. Both Dorothy and ire huddled closer to watch the video together. Even the CEO of the City South Branch of Assex Constructions, Dorothy, was interested in making 500 million from 500 thousand dors. Her heart was pounding hard. She wanted to see how great this Stone Gambling Prince was as well. She had looked into the stone gambling industry after all. Back then, she had a friend who loved to gamble on stones. But now they¡¯ve lost everything; their debts were all over the ce; and all they could do now was abandon the life they had to hide from loan sharks. They were nowhere to be seen now¡­ Thus, Dorothy knew how stone gambling works¡ªit really does rely solely on luck. Even their most advanced technology couldn¡¯t tell if the ores had jadeites within before cutting them open. However, this Stone Gambling Prince was able to get rare emeralds from all three ores he bought. ¡®Was this based on luck too? ¡®If it was, then he must really have the ultimate luck!¡¯ Beatrice exined excitedly. ¡°Any average person wouldn¡¯t be able to pick out three ores that all contained emeralds. My ssmate¡¯s father is fairly well-known in the stone gamblingmunity. He said that there¡¯s no way anyone could achieve this under normal circumstances. This guy either has the ultimate luck or superpowers!¡± Alex stared at Beatrice, who was excitedly babbling on about ¡®the Prince¡¯, her eyes filled with hope. However, Alex was mainly concerned about the video, he wanted to know if anyone had caught his face on camera. At the end of the video, Alex let out a deep sigh of relief. He wasn¡¯t caught on camera. However, Waltz was. The person holding the camera had intentionally zoomed in on Waltz as well. It was clear that he admired Waltz¡¯s beauty and body. Alex, on the other hand, was standing slightly behind Waltz, his face was blocked by the massive crowd. Dorothy said, ¡°Why are they recording a woman? Weren¡¯t you guys talking about a Stone Ganbling Prince? Is she the prince then?¡± Beatrice replied, ¡°Of course not, Sis. Do you not know who this woman is? This woman really is something else, you¡¯ll definitely be shocked. She has a nickname¡ªPrincess Fleur.¡± ¡°Princess Fleur?¡± Dorothy paused for a brief moment before eximing. ¡°You¡¯re saying, she¡¯s Waltz Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± Beatrice eximed as well. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s her! The Stone Gambling Prince is her boyfriend¡­ What an amazing duo. If I were to get myself a boyfriend like him, I wouldn¡¯t have to worry about anything and just enjoy life! I¡¯ll be able to live in a big manor and go for fine dining in the best restaurants in town. I¡¯ll get a luxurious bed to sleep on too¡­ Ah, how I wish!¡± Alex almost let out a chuckle as Beatrice continued gushing on and on about the prince. ¡®You¡¯ve been going on and on about this man, yet he is standing right in front of you. This exact man was the one you called a loser. If you were to find out about this, I wonder how shocked you will be?¡¯ ire was extremely fond of the prince as well. She sighed. ¡°Everyone said that Mr. Will¡¯s stone gambling store had many ores that contained rare jades. So that means that he¡¯s hit the mining jackpot this time. If there were lots of ores that were in the green, there would be a high percentage of getting such jades. Lucia persuaded me to use up all my savings, I even had to get a loan of 500 thousand from them. Yet, all I got was¡­¡± Dorothy took a deep breath and calmed herself. ¡°Alright, dream¡¯s over. Let¡¯s just treat this as any other normal news. We have to be humble and work towards our goals. There¡¯s no way such luck exists within all of us. All you guys see is the Stone Gambling Prince making lots of money, yet don¡¯t you see many others who lost everything to stone gambling? Mom, you yourself are an example of this, aren¡¯t you? Haven¡¯t you learned your lesson? I¡¯d have to work for at least half a year to earn 500 thousand dors!¡± With this, both ire and Beatrice snapped back to reality. Just then, Beatrice realized that Alex was standing right behind her. He was fairly close as well. She elbowed him in the gut and nudged him away. Disgusted, she said, ¡°What are you looking at? Are you trying to molest me? Why were you standing so close to me? Get lost! Look at Princess Fleur¡¯s boyfriend, he was able to earn a few hundreds of millions just like that. And you? You haven¡¯t earned jack sh*t! You¡¯re such a failurepared to him!¡± Alex scanned Beatrice up and down and chuckled coldly. ¡°Hmph, you look like a bamboo stick. I wouldn¡¯t want you even if you pushed yourself on to me. You¡¯re so annoying too. If it weren¡¯t for your sister, I would¡¯ve pushed your face into the toilet.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± ¡°Oh, shut up. He¡¯s your brother-inw. If it weren¡¯t for his help, I don¡¯t know what we¡¯d do!¡± Dorothy defended Alex. She was starting to get possessive over Alex. Cheryl was a major threat to her. Both her and her grandfather seemed to be very fond of Alex, they wanted him as family. Marriage didn¡¯t exactly tie one down as they all said, divorce was still an option. Dorothy felt extremely threatened. After all, the Assexes weren¡¯t exactly fond of Alex and Cheryl was gorgeous. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 150 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 150 With both ire and Beatrice being as unhelpful as they could, it was just a disaster to Dorothy. ire pointed to Alex. ¡°Go make us some dinner, we haven¡¯t cooked anything yet!¡± Dorothy said, ¡°It¡¯s quitete already, you don¡¯t have to cook. Let¡¯s just eat out, I¡¯ll treat all of you to hotpot.¡± Suddenly, ire turned to Alex and said, ¡°You may leave now, we don¡¯t treat outsiders to dinner.¡± Beatrice added. ¡°Exactly, we¡¯re no charity.¡± Dorothy was losing her mind. ¡®Alex came all the way here to help us out, spending 500 thousand just because of you. How could you still say that with a straight face? Have you no shame?¡¯ Just as Dorothy was about to speak up, Alex said, ¡°That¡¯s alright, I have other things to tend to anyway. I¡¯ll be off now. Dorothy¡­ don¡¯t push yourself too hard. If you don¡¯t have enough money, I¡¯lle up with something.¡± ire huffed. ¡°You¡¯lle up with something? And what would that be? Another fake check? All you will ever be is a loser. Get lost! I¡¯m annoyed just from seeing your face.¡± Alex thought. ¡®This woman is literally unreasonable.¡¯ He didn¡¯t want to waste any more energy arguing with them. Alex hopped into his car and drove off immediately. Time flew by as quickly as it usually would. In a sh, two days had passed. The title Stone Gambling Prince had only trended on California social media for one night. Everyone went on with their normal lives the next day and stopped talking about him. Only the stone gambling community would mention the prince once in a while, just to show adoration towards him. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org. For the past two days, Alex had not left his house as well. He had been researching on the alchemy stove with a missing leg¡­ After deep cleansing the stove, he realized that the stove had a carving of an ancient sigil. The Ultimate Book of Medicine had introduced sigils as well. Especially the Witch Doctor Series¡ªmost of their methods used sigils to utilize elements of the earth to heal the patient. Waltz was eating a bucket of ice cream in the vi¡¯s basement. She was wearing her usual red dress outfit, sitting on a stool elegantly with her legs slightly tucked under. As she continued to eat the ice cream, she asked Alex, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve been looking at that shabby stove for two days. Did you manage to get anything out of it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t rush me, I don¡¯t work well under pressure.¡± Alex was poking his head into the stove. His voice echoed out of the stove. Waltz stretched her legs out and adjusted her sitting position. ¡°Do you still want ice cream? I¡¯m going to finish it.¡± ¡°Just finish it yourself¡­ or you could finish it outside. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡± ¡°Are you stone-hearted? I was worried that you¡¯d be bored, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here to keep youpany.¡± Waltz then kicked Alex on his behind. Alex was not prepared for her sudden attack. His head collided with the base of the stove with a loud bang echoing throughout the basement. Alex was extremely frustrated and annoyed. Standing up, he realized that he wasn¡¯t able to take the stove off of his head. The stove was pitch ck on the inside, he couldn¡¯t see anything at all. ¡°Oh, f*ck¡­¡± Waltz jumped out of her stool and was ready to make a run for it. Suddenly, Alex said, ¡°I finally figured it out.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 151 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 151 Alex grabbed the stove and pulled his head out of it. He then rushed to the table excitedly and started scribbling on a notebook. He had used up seven notebooks for the past two days. All of them were filled with weird symbols that Waltz did not recognize. ¡°I love nerds. Brother, you look so cool when you¡¯re focused on work!¡± Waltz sat on the table and shoved a spoonful of ice cream into Alex¡¯s mouth. Alex was still focused on writing, hence hepletely ignored her. After noting down all the sigils that he had figured out, he put down the pen and let out a sigh of relief, as if a boulder had been lifted off his chest. Suddenly, he felt extremely thirsty. A spoonful of ice cream wasn¡¯t enough for him, hence he snatched the whole bucket of ice cream and gobbled it all up. ¡°Brother, I couldn¡¯t finish the ice cream in the bucket, so I actually spat the rest out back into it.¡± Alex froze. He immediately spat out the mint ice cream onto Waltz¡¯s face. Half an hourter, Alex started repairing the shabby alchemy stove. Alex was only able to grasp a brief understanding of the ancient sigil as it was quite advanced. He figured out that this sigil was to help engage the Chi from natural elements in alchemy. They were lucky that only a small part of the sigil was damaged. ording to the knowledge he acquired from the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he was able to use reverse identification and reasoning from his vast knowledge to restore the ancient sigil. Restoring the sigil used up some of his Chi as well. It took him three hours to be able to restore the whole thing. As soon as the sigil within the stove was restored, the energy flowing within it grew immensely. ¡°Well, that was tiring. I¡¯ll have to rest a little.¡± Alex put the stove aside and left the basement. Just then, he heard lightughtering from the indoor swimming pool on the first floor. Following the noise, he couldn¡¯t look away from what met his eyes. Three gorgeous women were hanging out in the pool, wearing different swimsuits. These three gorgeous women were Waltz, Maya and Brittany. The first two women were extremely charming, there was no doubt about that. Even Brittany, who was middle-aged, looked amazing in a swimsuit. She took good care of her figure and beauty, she usually practiced yoga at home too. ¡°Hey, Alex, want to join us?¡± Maya asked. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯ve been cooped up in the basement for two days, you must smell bad. Come in here to wash up.¡± Waltz waved to Alex. She was wearing a ck bikini. When Waltz came out of the water, Alex felt as if there was a spotlight shining on her. Alex felt exhrated. If he were to swim in the pool with such eye candy, Alex just knew that he¡¯d feel refreshed and energized. Brittany turned to look at Maya and Waltz, and she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. These two girls were both equally amazing, yet Alex was married. But this man was secretly hanging out with Waltz too. She didn¡¯t know what to do with her son. And just like any other mother, she wanted a grandchild. But Dorothy¡­ Even if Brittany was blind, she could sense that her son and Dorothy were facing problems in their rtionship. ¡®What kind of wife wouldn¡¯t want to spend more time with her own husband?¡¯ Dorothy had not evene by once since that time they had a meal together. When Brittany was still in a vegatative state, ire didn¡¯te by to visit her as well. All of these indicated that the Assexes were not on good terms with them. Brittany would rather Alex have an affair with Maya or Waltz¡­ She didn¡¯t intend to stop her son at all. She¡¯d rather her son just choose one of them and produce a grandchild. That way, it would be toote for Dorothy to stop anything. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go get changed.¡± Alex smiled. Just then, Alex received a call. It was from Cheryl. ¡°Alex, are you free tonight?¡± Cheryl asked from the other end of the line. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Today¡¯s my grandma¡¯s birthday. Well, uhm, my grandpa wants to have you over for a meal.¡± Cheryl could feel her cheeks burning up. Alex froze. He remembered that James had mentioned that when he was at the Yowells¡¯. He had thought Cheryl only invited him out of spite, just to mess with Dorothy. He really didn¡¯t expect her to mean it. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 152 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 152 ¡°No problem, just give me the time and address, I¡¯ll be there.¡± Alex smiled. ¡°I can pick you up.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, the journey is quite troublesome.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Cheryl said softly, before adding, ¡°I¡¯m only inviting you because my grandpa wants to see you, don¡¯t you dare misunderstand!¡± Alex froze. ¡°I don¡¯t, I know you don¡¯t have other intentions.¡± ¡°I¡­ Juste over quickly, I¡¯ll hang up now!¡± Cheryl¡¯s cheeks were now painted in a slight shade of pink, she seemed annoyed. ¡®What do you mean by other intentions?¡¯ After obtaining the address, Alex looked it up online. Apparently Cheryl lives in a residential area in City South, California. After informing Brittany about the invite, he went to absorb some Chi from his emeralds to energize himself. He then headed towards his destination. Cheryl was picking an outfit in front of her mirror. Clothes were all over the room, yet she still couldn¡¯t find the right one. Suddenly, an olddy walked in with a sweet smile. ¡°Cherry, picking an outfit, I see?¡± Cheryl was frustrated. ¡°Grandma, I don¡¯t think I have any suitable clothes.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The olddy hugged Cheryl¡¯s arm. ¡°Aw, my dear granddaughter is all grown up now. It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t have any suitable clothes, it¡¯s just that you think you don¡¯t have the perfect outfit. You¡¯re perfect in any clothes, my dear, that¡¯s how I see it.¡± ¡°Grandma!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the same for him too. If that boy really likes you, he¡¯d still see you as a beautiful angel, even if you were in rags.¡± Cheryl¡¯s face was bright red, her heart was pounding out of her chest. Grandma then said, ¡°I¡¯d really like to see just how amazing this boy is. He¡¯s managed to charm both of you for some reason.¡± Cheryl wasn¡¯t the only one who was acting differently. James had been constantly praising Alex as well. Grandma was starting to get jealous of Alex. The doorbell chimed, it would seem that Alex had finally arrived. Cheryl had never felt her heart race so much when she opened the door. Alex looked calm, holding a basket of fruits. However, he froze as soon as he saw Cheryl. ¡°Dr. Coney, is your shirt inside out?¡± Cheryl looked down at her shirt. She wanted to curl up into a ball of embarrassment. She had been picking an outfit out for more than half an hour, yet she ended up wearing it inside out. She felt extremely awkward. ¡°Come in, I just randomly put something on. Did you think I¡¯d doll up for you?¡± Cheryl rolled her eyes. ¡°Uhm, no. You don¡¯t even have to wear anything if you¡¯d like.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Ahem, I mean, you do you.¡± Just then, James rushed to the door to wee Alex as well. After scanning the room, Alex realized that he was the only guest invited. After sitting down at the table, Grandma couldn¡¯t take her eyes off of Alex. She was smiling brightly, as if she was looking at her son-inw. ¡°Uhm¡­ Happy birthday, Grandma! I hope all your wishese true!¡± Alex said as he handed her a present. He bought it on the way here. It was a jade buddha statue, but it wasn¡¯t all that expensive. Suddenly, someone else had arrived at the Coney household. It was an old man with his grandson. The old man seemed energetic, his gaze was as sharp as daggers. The young man on the other hand looked like he was extremely full of himself. The old man yelled out loud. ¡°Hey Coney, I¡¯ve got you the best grandson-inw ever. Look at my grandson, he just came back from overseas. Your granddaughter seems to still be unmarried, so I¡¯ll give you a hand. If this keeps up, she¡¯ll end up bing a spinster!¡± Comment by Melisa Chan: reced ¡°Christmas Cake¡± with this just cause not many in the west would be familiar with the term since it originated (and probably mainly used) in Japan. An alternative is ¡°old maid¡±? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 153 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 153 James was clearly unhappy with their sudden appearance. Cheryl was exceptionally annoyed by the old man¡¯s words too, her face was filled with disgust. ¡®What do you mean by ¡®spinster¡¯? This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡®I just have high standards for men!¡¯ James replied, ¡°What brings you here, Wilson? What makes you think I¡¯d wee you at my doorstep? Were you banned from working in Michigan? Is that why?¡± This old man was Patrick Wilson, he had quite a history with James. The two used to be apprentices under a famous doctor, they were like godbrothers. James was older than Patrick, so became the older brother. However, Patrick didn¡¯t learn medicine to save lives, he wanted the money. Back then, he would use his master¡¯s title to scam others. This was why their master expelled him and was no longer deemed as one of his disciples. However, Patrick had the mind of a businessman. Even though he couldn¡¯t be a famous doctor, he managed to start up a health care centre, selling ancient spa treatments. To their surprise, his business was extremely sessful, and he managed to open a few more branches in other states. James knew exactly how his spa treatment worked. It wasn¡¯t entirely a scam, yet the advertised effectiveness was way too misleading. The price for said treatment was off the roof too. Patrick¡¯s grandson was Zachary Wilson, an actual doctor. He graduated from a prestigious medical university overseas as well. Zachary had met Cheryl before and was absolutely mesmerized by her beauty. He had many dreams about her as well, and he enjoyed every second of those dreams. He couldn¡¯t help but burn up when he thought about her exceptionally curvy body. He noticed Alex, aplete stranger, was handing Grandma a jade statue. He felt upset and competitiveness grew within him as his gaze turned cold. Patrick huffed. ¡°Coney, are you deaf? I said I¡¯ve got you a grandson-inw. Cheryl will be the Wilsons¡¯ daughter-inw from now on.¡± Cheryl just couldn¡¯t bear listening any further. ¡°Did I agree to this?¡± Patrick was shocked. ¡°My grandson is a postgraduate from the prestigious Mediziner University, his future is bright! With our family¡¯s wealth, you won¡¯t have to worry about anything for life! How dare you reject our offer? You haven¡¯t even found anyone at this age. Do you really want to be a spinster?¡± James replied, ¡°You¡¯re toote, Cherry already has a husband. This man, Alex Rockefeller, is my grandson-inw.¡± ¡°What?¡± When Zachary realized that his doubts were true, his feelings for Cheryl immediately turned into anger. ¡®How dare you marry someone else? ¡®I¡¯d already decided to have you as my wife!¡¯ Alex was puzzled, he turned to Cheryl and met eyes with her. Cheryl inched closer towards him and nudged his arm gently, her eyes pleading. Alex smiled softly and nodded. He had agreed to be Cheryl¡¯s pretend-husband temporarily. Suddenly, Patrick snapped. ¡°Coney, what are you bullsh*tting about? How would I not know if your granddaughter had gotten married? If she really did, you would¡¯ve definitely sent wedding invitations to Baker and the others! Listen, stop making unbelievable lies up. What? Do you think my grandson doesn¡¯t deserve your granddaughter?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 154 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 154 Patrick approached Alex and dragged him closer. ¡°Hey brat, I don¡¯t care who you are. Cherry is definitely going to be my granddaughter-inw. Tell me, how much money is enough to make you leave her?¡± ¡®Pretty intimidating and ruthless, huh?¡¯ Alex furrowed his eyebrows, he was about to snap. Grandma yelled. ¡°Stop it this instance, Patrick! My granddaughter hasn¡¯t married yet, but their wedding is near. We¡¯ve already agreed on giving him her hand in marriage long ago. What? Do you really want to be a homewrecker?¡± Patrick was furious. ¡°Bullsh*t! Cherry is my granddaughter-inw, her father gave us her hand in marriage back then. Are you trying to go back on your word? Do you need me to bring your son over to make things clear? Besides, Coney, don¡¯t you dare forget who saved you from drowning back then. Are you that ungrateful? And you call yourself a miracle doctor?¡± Patrick seemed to have stunned everyone with his words. Alex noticed that Cheryl¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred when Patrick mentioned her father. ¡®Ah, it would seem that this is an unresolved trauma in this family.¡¯ James fell silent upon hearing Patrick¡¯s words. Grandma was so angry that she couldn¡¯t speak as well. Cheryl¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°I¡¯m the one who decides who I marry, I don¡¯t care what that man promised you.¡±Original from N?velDrama.Org. Zachary said, ¡°Cherry, we¡¯re childhood friends, you know? I¡¯ve missed you so much for the past few years. Besides, we really are engaged, you can¡¯t just go back on your word like that. You know what? How about Ipete against this guy? What does he work as?¡± ¡®Compete?¡¯ James¡¯ eyes lit up. ¡°Alright, then so be it. You guys canpete against each other. Alex is a doctor as well, you canpete on medical expertise.¡± James was very confident about Alex¡¯s medical skills, even more so than his own. Moreover, if Alex were to defeat Zachary and have him give up on his own, then there wouldn¡¯t be any more problems from now on. They¡¯d be able to live a peaceful life. This was just great! Zachary huffed at Alex. ¡°You¡¯re a doctor too? Then tell me, which prestigious medical school did you graduate from?¡± Alex folded his arms behind his back. ¡°I never studied in a medical school.¡± Zachary asked again, ¡°Oh? So that means you were a disciple. Then who was the famous doctor that taught you?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I never had a teacher too.¡± Zachary¡¯s expression became more smug. ¡°You¡¯ve never graduated from a medical school, or learned from a famous doctor. Then, how are you a doctor? Are you just a bluff? Don¡¯t tell me, you don¡¯t have a doctor¡¯s license?¡± Alex nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right, I don¡¯t.¡± Both Patrick and Zachary startedughing out loud. James and Cheryl seemed upset too. They had originally asked Alex to help them kick these two out, yet he lost before thepetition even started. How would he be able to fight them off now? Cheryl red at Alex, extremely frustrated. She thought, ¡®You could have helped me if you just made up some sort of lie! Do you really want to cut ties with me that much?¡¯ As theughing continued on, Alex spoke up once again. ¡°I¡¯ve never been to a medical school, because none of these universities deserve to have me as one of their students. I have no teacher, because no doctor deserves to have me as their apprentice. As for the doctor¡¯s license, is that thing really all that important? Can you really be a famous doctor as soon as you get the license?¡± Zachary cackled harder. ¡°That¡¯s the biggest bluff I¡¯ve ever heard! Really now? No university in the world deserves to have you as one of their students? You probably can¡¯t even get in. Do you really think it¡¯s that easy to get enrolled? ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what, I¡¯ve been learning medicine since I was three. I memorized the prescription verse at the age of four. I even memorized the whole Compendium of Materia Medica at the age of eight too! I¡¯m one of the best graduates from Worthington Medical University and also one of the best Master¡¯s students in Mediziner University. All my theses earned me multiple awards. Just look at you, you¡¯re dirt compared to me. You don¡¯t even have anything to go up against me.¡± Alex took a nce at him and said, ¡°Really now? If you¡¯re so great, then why can¡¯t you cure your wet- dream problem?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 155 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 155 Gasp! Zachary¡¯s heartyughter stopped abruptly, as if a lively aged duck that had its neck suddenly pinched, waiting to be ughtered. In that instant, he was flushed with anger. Alex nonchntly said, ¡°Aha, did I just expose the truth?¡± ¡°Nonsense! You¡¯re the one with wet dreams, same goes to all your family members!¡± Zachary was infuriated. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. It was his greatest pain as it happened almost every night. In the middle of the night, he was always jolted awake by the discharge, and had to clean up after himself. It was so bad that he dared not share a bedroom with his ssmates when he was studying overseas, fearing his condition would be exposed. However, Alex exposed his woe right in front of Cheryl, so he felt searing pain in humiliation as if his skin was being torn off. Therefore, he would never admit to it. Cheryl and James looked at Zachary amusingly. James said, ¡°Zachary, why don¡¯t I check your pulse and see if it is legitimate? If it is true, it might affect your reproductivity, and you need to be treated as quickly as possible.¡± ¡°I said, I am healthy and there is nothing wrong with my body!¡± Zachary was extremely frustrated. ¡°You¡¯re a doctor as well. It is an illness, don¡¯t you know it? Your refusal to let me check your pulse is a sign that you have a guilty conscience. A little discharge here and there is fine. Then, is it possible that your conditions are very severe? How could I possibly let Cheryl marry you, knowing that you are having issues with your manhood?¡± James said. Zachary snorted. ¡°Fine, just check it if you want to. The traditional medicine practice is nothing but wizardry. During my time overseas, I had spent time in research and proved that traditional medicine is pseudoscience, just like the practices by those witch doctors. Such practice ispletely out of touch and it should be phased out.¡± However, after checking his pulse, James shook his head. ¡°Zachary, you need to pay attention to your condition. Do you have wet dreams every night? It is quite severe already, you have to get it treated soon!¡± Zachary was so embarrassed that he had an impulse to hit himself against the corner of the table. Zachary was not convinced and said, ¡°I am strong and energetic. Please do not speak nonsense.¡± Cheryl snorted. ¡°My grandfather is known as the genius doctor of California. How dare you question his abilities? I think you¡¯re the one who knows nothing! Don¡¯t ever think that studying overseas for a few years gives you the right and confidence to doubt our practice! How dare you actually say that traditional medicine is pseudoscience, it¡¯s preposterous!¡± ¡°Other than wet dreams, you have severe renal insufficiency too.¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°You¡­ Nonsense!¡± Zachary rebutted as his face turned grim. Alex said with a faint snort, ¡°Nobody can endure such over-frequent discharge every day. No matter how healthy you are, the over-frequent discharge will put a tremendous strain on your body, eventually you will be wasted! I daresay the modern practice that you admire so much would not be able to diagnose your illness. In the end, only traditional medicinal practice that you im fraud can cure your ailment. Now it¡¯s just renal insufficiency, but it might turn into renal failure a monthter. When the time comes¡­¡± Zachary knew what would happen without Alex continued saying. That would be an unbearable consequence ¡ª uremia! He had secretly visited countless hospitals and specialists but to no avail. The reason he came to visit James today was to consult his expertise on the matter and cure his ailment. Who would have thought Alex woulde right in and ruin his ns. James looked at Alex. ¡°I do not have a good solution to his issue, Alex. The only way is to remove his manhood, to prevent worsening of his conditions.¡± Zachary was on the verge of copse after hearing James¡¯ suggestion. It meant that he would be castrated, and that would be even worse than death. ¡°I can cure it,¡± said Alex. ¡°Really?¡± Zachary¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Of course.¡± Alex nodded and said, ¡°I did not say I will cure you, though.¡± Zachary was immediately dumbfounded. However, he thought again. If he were in Alex¡¯s position, seeing his girlfriend being so concerned by another guy, he would not lend a hand too. However, it did not matter anymore. As long as he could restore his body to its healthy state, he would no longer have to worry about having a girlfriend. After all, there were plenty more fishes in the sea. As he thought about it, he immediately dropped onto his knees in front of Alex with a thud. ¡°Genius Doctor Rockefeller, please, you have to save me! If you can cure my ailment, I promise I will leave Cheryl alone and cancel the arranged marriage, I will call you brother and Cheryl will be my sister-in- law. May you both be blessed with a happy and harmonious marriage until old age.¡± The sudden change of events was out of everyone¡¯s expectation. The opponent had lost before thepetition. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 156 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 156 However, the defeated opponent was not Alex Rockefeller. Cheryl looked at Alex with emotions pouring out of her eyes. However, Alex¡¯s attention was on Patrick instead. ¡°What do you think?¡± Patrick chuckled. ¡°I go with whatever Zachary says. It¡¯s all on you, little genius doctor.¡± Only then did Alex nod. Zachary¡¯s ailment was nothing but a piece of cake for him. ¡­. An hourter at a neighbourhood park. ¡°Your marriage arrangement is now annulled. You are free now, so you do not have to look for a man to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore.¡± Alex smiled at Cheryl, who had her hand wrapped around his arm. What Alex meant was a not-so-subtle hint for Cheryl to leave him alone. Yet, Cheryl seemed oblivious. ¡°I do not care for the marriage arrangement anyway, it can¡¯t constrain me. Whatever that man said has got nothing to do with me.¡± ¡°That man¡­ Your father?¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You can say so.¡± Alex did not say anything else as he knew that it must be a trauma that she did not want to mention. ¡°Would you like to hear my story?¡± She looked up into the night sky. Looking at her little sorrowful expression, Alex said, ¡°If you are okay with sharing. I think I am a good listener.¡± ¡°It all began with my mother¡­¡± It was not aplicated story, but one would say it was a clich¨¦. It was a story about a romantic tragedy between a wonderfuldy and an awful man. Cheryl¡¯s mother, who hailed from the countryside, was a sweet-faced, prim and properdy. One day, she went to James Coney for a doctor¡¯s visit and got to know Cheryl¡¯s father. The rtionship progressed from there, and eventually they got married. It was a happy life at first but it all changed after the man met a woman named Kiki. That man cheated on her mother. That woman was unscrupulous. She introduced him to drugs and led him astray. Eventually, he started beating his wife, his daughter, and even his parents. Cheryl¡¯s mother was severely injured after one such beating, when he was drugged, and passed away after a year of suffering. As for the man, he fled the country and was never heard again. As Alex listened to Cheryl¡¯s words, she recounted the story like it was someone else¡¯s, but she could not hold the sorrowful emotion and the tears began streaming down her face. So, Alex patted her on the shoulder tofort her. Instead, Cheryl rested her head on his shoulder. A heavy stillness hung in the air, punctured by the asional crickets¡¯ chirps. It was quiet all of a sudden, but silence spoke louder than words. Alex broke the silence after a while. ¡°You will be happy.¡± ¡°That is why I am very hesitant in having a partner or getting married. What if he treats me like how my father treated my mother?¡± said Cheryl. Alex replied, ¡°You will be fine. After all, those people are of the minority.¡± ¡°Then, will you hit me in the future?¡± asked Cheryl. Wait a minute. What did she just mean? Alex was a married man! Dorothy called right at the moment. ¡°Alex, it has been a while since we watched a movie together at midnight. Would you like to go tonight?¡± asked Dorothy. She decided to go to the hotel right after the movies. ¡°Of course!¡± Alex¡¯s eyes lit up. Suddenly, Cheryl gave him a peck on the cheeks and whispered to the phone, ¡°I am leaving now, don¡¯t miss me!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 157 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 157 What? As Cheryl headed back to her house after finishing her speech, Alex¡¯s anxious voice could be heard from behind. ¡°Dorothy! Dorothy! Hello! Listen to me, it¡¯s not what you think! I¡­. Hello, hello! Hello¡­¡± Cheryl¡¯s sweet stir had destroyed Alex¡¯s hope in an instant. Not to mention going on a midnight movie date with Dorothy, he feared that she might not let him enter the house next time. How could Dorothy feel good after hearing Cheryl¡¯s loving yet ambiguous voice over the phone in such late night? So, she was infuriated and immediately ended the call. Immediately, Alex dialed her number but it was not picked up. Then, he called again but her phone had been turned off. Helplessly, he could only send her a message exining that he was invited by Dr. James Coney to a birthday celebration, conveniently leaving out the fact that he was the only outsider invited and he pretended to be Cheryl¡¯s boyfriend. The night passed. The next morning, he called Dorothy again. As a general manager of her subsidiarypany, she could not possibly leave her phone turned off at the time. That being said, every time he tried to make a call, the call failed to be connected. ¡°Crap, could it be that I have been blocked?¡± He thought of going to Dorothy¡¯s office and giving her an exnation in person. However, he thought again. She was still mad now and would not ept his exnations at all. Furthermore, his rtionship with Cheryl was not something that could be cleared up with just verbal exnation. ¡°Why don¡¯t I wait for another two days?¡± After all, they were not on speaking terms for ten months previously. A few days now meant nothing to Alex. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. More importantly, Brittany¡¯s safety had to be enhanced. He was a little insomniac after recalling that kiss by Cheryl, so he buried himself deep in thought instead, trying to figure out a way for Brittany to start training. He also wanted to work on the Slunce Jauda from the Yowells but changed his mindter. Although he had revised the working route of Slunce Jauda so that it could no longer harm the heart of the user, it was still a little too much for female practitioners. This was because of their feminine attributes, so even with increased efforts, they could not reap the benefits as much as the male practitioners. An extremely aggressive martial art like Slunce Jauda was unsuitable for females, but something a little more gentle would be better. Therefore, he spent the entire night to create an all-new cultivation method, based on the Slunce Jauda and the Force ¡ª Silver Frost. It was a remarkable feat, for only the greatest of masters could create a new cultivation method from the ground up. Yet, for Alex, who had an extraordinary cultivation method like the Force, it was nothing but a piece of cake. The reason he spent the entire night was to incorporate a technique from the Force into Silver Frost, in order to give it a room for upgrade. In the future, if necessary, he could even integrate it into a more powerful cultivation method. ¡°Senior!¡± The restroom¡¯s door was busted open right after Alex sat down on the toilet. Waltz, who dressed in a suit and tie, appeared in front of him. Getting used to seeing her in dresses, it was rather surprising for Alex to see her in such an outfit. She seemed to have the capability to look good in whatever she wore, unlike some seedy-looking people, who could not change their seedy looks no matter how expensive the clothes they wore. Alex was shocked by her sudden entry. ¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong with you, can¡¯t you at least knock before you enter?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t lock the door anyway, why the fuss?¡± Waltz snorted. ¡°Anything?¡± Alex quickly covered his exposed body. ¡°Are you going to make the chakra pills today?¡± Alex¡¯s expression darkened, he thought it was something urgent. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Well, that is what I intend to do. I came to ask for my leave.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Work, to earn money. Senior, are you going to pay for me instead?¡± Waltz leaned onto the door frame as she provoked Alex with a brazen look in her eyes. Soon after, she nced at her wristwatch. ¡°I am the general manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s maritime business. There is a board of directors meeting today that I absolutely cannot miss. Time¡¯s almost up, I have to go now!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 158 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 158 ¡°I¡¯ll be back by afternoon, and I¡¯ll bring a watermelon for youter. Be a good boy at home!¡± Only now did Alex know that Waltz had a legitimate profession. Apparently, she was the head businesswoman of all maritime businesses in California. As the clock struck nine, Alex went down to the basement and attempted his pill concoction. Why would he need a cauldron for pill concoction? This was because pill concoction was different from medicinal cooking, in which the herbs just had to be thrown into a cooking pot in order to be cooked. After all, it was just medicine, so its effects were iparable with concocted pills. Since each portion of medicinal herb had different properties, the purpose of pill concoction was to eliminate all the useless portions of the herbs, leaving only the essential portions. Then, the essential portions would be supplemented with Chi, or even the essence of heaven and earth, to be condensed into one single pill. Therefore, regr cooking pots could not be used for pill concoction as they would shatter the moment Chi was exerted into the pill. Three hourster, Alex finallypleted his first batch of chakra pills. The first two attempts had failed. Fortunately, Waltz had gathered sufficient medicinal herbs. Alex also made sure to be prudent with his usage of the ingredients since it was his first attempt at pill concoction. He continued with another few attempts after that. Original from N?velDrama.Org. As his sess rate increased with more attempts, subsequently he managed toplete seven more batches of chakra pills in the two hours. A total of eight chakra pills were concocted, including the first batch. It was worth noting that the alchemy circle inside the cauldron, which shimmered during the pill concoction, had greatly helped to stabilize the process. Alex took one himself and found it to be working just as he expected. After that, he went to Brittany, and with some persuading and convincing, she finally agreed to take up Silver Frost. ¡°This is a martial art to improve your blood cirction. It is quite simr to yoga, which you used to practice, but brings in greater benefits. The more you practice it, the healthier you get and the younger you look!¡± Alex meant well. ¡°Your body is still frail after just waking up from a longa, so it¡¯s necessary to pick it up.¡± ¡°All right, I will do whatever you say, Son!¡± ¡°First, swallow this pill. Let me help you.¡± An hourter, Brittany was propelled from a regrdy into a Beginner-Royal ranked fighter. With consistent training, her body defense could only get stronger. ¡°That was a good workout, but I feel much more energetic now! Let me take a shower first, I will prepare braised porkter, it¡¯s both you and your father¡¯s favorite¡­¡± Brittany¡¯s voice halted all of a sudden, after all, she had yet to get used to life without her husband. Seeing his mother¡¯s wistful silhouette entering the bathroom, a dash of sparkles flickered in Alex¡¯s eyes as he thought, ¡°John Rockefeller, have you made your decision?¡± At this moment, Waltz made a call to him. ¡°Senior, I found the culprit responsible for Anthony Pattingson¡¯s murder,¡± she said. ¡°Oh? Who was it?¡± Waltz said, ¡°An inmate from the same cell. Based on the intel from my guys, this person was imprisoned for negligent homicide and killed Anthony during a violent altercation. I suspect he most probably acted on orders given his history as an underling for underworld gangs. ¡°Senior, rest assured. I will track him down and force him to tell the truth,¡± promised Waltz. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Well then, do I get a reward?¡± Waltz asked. ¡°The chakra pill is ready,¡± said Alex. ¡°Really? Wonderful! I will be back soon!¡± Waltz said as she was thrilled. After a moment of pause, she thought about something. ¡°Before I forget, I also found intel on your father¡¯s former secretary, Pepper Kimmich.¡± ¡°What about her?¡± Alex asked. Waltz said, ¡°She is a mysterious character. We checked her files but most of the information in them is fake. ording to reports, her supposed birthce recorded no such person. Also, she was noted to have made frequent trips to Japan.¡± Indeed, it was very suspicious. ¡°Oh, she will be attending an auction of precious medicinal herbs tonight.¡± A call came in right after Waltz ended hers. It was Michelle Yowell, the little devil from the Yowell family. ¡°Hey, Alex. Come with me to an auction of medicinal herbs tonight.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 159 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 159 Why would Michelle want Alex to apany her to an auction of medicinal herbs? That was because during the period of time, the Yowell family had been mobilizing their people to gather the medicinal herbs requested by Alex. Yet, a few precious herbs slipped through their grasp. She heard that a good number of century-old medicinal herbs would be auctioned in this particr auction, so she had to check it out. As for the herbs¡¯ efficacy, only Alex knew best. Alex was thrilled. Just moments ago, he was told by Waltz that Pepper Kimmich would be attending the auction of medicinal herbs, and now Michelle came to invite him to it. Everything just happened ording to his wish. That being said¡­ ¡°Are you the only one left? Why did the Yowell family send you, a little girl, instead?¡± replied Alex indifferently. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Little girl? I am not little!¡± ¡°Um, indeed you aren¡¯t.¡± Alex had to concur with her. There was a reason that she was known to have a youthful face with huge busts. If a mature belle like Cheryl was to stand beside Michelle, obvious physical differences in some areas would be observed at first nce. ¡°Where are you now? Do you want me to give you a ride?¡± Michelle urged as it was her grandfather¡¯s order, so she dared not disobey him. It was Keith¡¯s intention for Michelle to have more interactions with Alex. Even if she had a marriage arrangement and could not have a rtionship with another man, he would not mind their intimate rtionship as long as Alex could treat her heart problems. However, Alex did not want Michelle toe to Maple Vi, in fact, he wanted nothing to do with her. Alex immediately said, ¡°Text me the address, I will see you there.¡± Michelle snorted secretly as she thought, ¡°Dumbass, you really thought that I¡¯d like to fetch you? It¡¯s even better if I don¡¯t have to do so.¡± So, she immediately texted the address to Alex and said, ¡°You need an invitation to attend the auction, but my name works better than it. Just mention my name, you will be through in no time. I will be waiting inside then.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Soon after, Waltz returned, and she really had arge watermelon in her arms. After putting down the watermelon, she hurriedly rushed to Alex and said, ¡°Can you let me swallow your pills?¡± At this moment, Brittany, who just was right there, heard it but she seemed to have got the wrong idea, thinking that Waltz wanted to swallow the ones on Alex¡¯s¡­ Alex rolled his eyes and said, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? I¡¯d like to devour your huge melons first.¡± Shocked, Brittany subconsciously moved her gaze to Waltz¡¯s chest as she thought, ¡°Who knew that my son prefers this type.¡± She felt awkward. ¡°Ahem, well, uh, I will be in my room. You both¡­ just assume I am not here at all!¡± Looking at Brittany who had a blushed face as she fled the scene, Waltz was surprised but immediately came to her senses. ¡°Oh no, Madame must have thought you were talking dirty!¡± ¡°Get lost, you were to one who did it, not me.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we just get into it?¡± In the end, Alex let Waltz consume a chakra pill and at the same time assisted her in strengthening her cultivation base. The entire process took a full quarter of an hour. Alex retracted his palm. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Waltz felt an intense stir in her body, so she smashed a hole barefist through a solid marble rock in front of Alex. There were cracks all over the rock. ¡°A¡­ Amazing!¡± Even she felt it was unbelievable, as she could never do it before. ¡°Are you at Mystic rank now?¡± Alex asked. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 160 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 160 ¡°So close, yet so far. I am almost there, though.¡± She started jumping around like an energetic maniac, running toward Alex and kissed him suddenly. Brittany was initially in her room on the second floor but came out after hearing Waltz¡¯s voices. She just saw the scene unfolding in front of her eyes as she looked down from the helical staircase. Gently shaking her head, she retreated into her room. ¡­ Alex headed to the auction of precious medicinal herbs by himself at half-past five. The auction was held in the form of a cocktail party on the highest floor of California¡¯s Splendor Center. He entered the auction hall without any hups after mentioning Michelle¡¯s name at the entrance. At this moment at the entrance of Splendor Center, a group of young men and women were chatting among themselves as they entered the building. Among them was a youngdy in a white dress, she was Alex¡¯s sister-inw ¡ª Beatrice Assex. The other three were the ones that Alex saw back at the car dealership days ago: Mona Weiss, Wilson Jordan, and Sam Culver. The four of them were a little coterie. Dressed smartly in a suit, Wilson took a few nces affectionately at Beatrice as he bragged, ¡°The auction of precious medicinal herbs this time is the most prestigious auction in South California. I heard that the items that will be put up for auction tonight are tonics, which are worth at least a million dors, and many century-old medicinal herbs that can hardly be found in the market.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mona asked as she flitted her fakeshes while looking at Wilson. The look of adoration and secret admiration in her eyes were unable to be concealed. However, Wilson liked Beatrice instead. Seeing Beatrice¡¯s curious expression, Wilson continued, ¡°It¡¯s because medicinal herbs like the century- old ginseng and Ganoderma are extremely rare items. Over the years, humans have been excavating them, so they are nearly extinct. Even if they are discovered asionally, they will be seized by the rich and powerful people, and they will not be sold in the market at all. Therefore, don¡¯t ever trust those so-called century-old ginseng sold in pharmacies, they are nothing but fakes.¡± Mona looked at Wilson adoringly. ¡°Wilson, you are so knowledgeable.¡± Wilson smiled humbly and looked at Beatrice, he found that she did not seem to pay much attention to their conversation. ¡°Okay then, let¡¯s go in. There is a buffet inside and it serves Australian lobsters!¡± said Wilson. ¡°Don¡¯t you like Australian lobsters, Beatrice? That¡¯s why I got myself a few more entrance tickets to the auction from my uncle. These are not something that ordinary people can get a hand on.¡± Beatrice¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of lobsters. ¡°Thank you!¡± Sam asked, ¡°Wilson, what does your uncle do?¡± ¡°He is the manager of Splendor Center. This auction this time could be said to be mainly arranged by him.¡± The four of them entered the building. After showing the entrance tickets, they entered the auction hall smoothly. It was a crowded venue, with plenty of people socializing, chatting, eating, and such. Wilson did not forget to remind, ¡°There are a lot of VIPs tonight, please behave yourselves and don¡¯t get into trouble.¡± And then, they went straight to the buffet. Alex was there too, hungrily devouring an Australian lobster. He was now famished as he was previously upied with concocting chakra pills and helping both Brittany and Waltz strengthen their cultivation base. Furthermore, the lobsters looked delicious and tantalizing, so he quickly gobbled them up without scruple. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Beatrice, who was holding a dining te, went straight for the Australian lobsters. However, she was greeted with a miserable sight of a few leftover heads and tails. Next to her was a man brazenly devouring a te of lobster meat, which was filled to the brim. ¡°What a glutton!¡± Beatrice was irritated but she could only remain silent and curse secretly. After all, she could not afford to offend anyone here because of her identity. However, as she looked toward the man and he turned his head at the same time, she was dumbfounded in disbelief, with her mouth agape after their gazes met. ¡°What, it¡¯s you? Why are you here?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 161 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 161 Alex stole a glimpse at Beatrice for a second, then he slowly picked up a piece of Australian lobster meat and put it into his mouth. He continued eating his lobster with a content expression on his face, as if she did not exist. Beatrice was vexed as she thought, ¡®What did he mean? Am I a non-existent dead person?¡¯ Beatrice was red-faced, with her eyes widened. ¡°Rockefeller, you trash! Are you deaf? I am talking to you! Why are you here? How did you get in?¡± In her eyes, Alex was still a good-for-nothing trash who could do nothing else but lived off her sister. She just got angry every time she saw him, especially her temper got worse after he dared to hit her recently. Deigning to even look at her, Alex said indifferently, ¡°What does it have to do with you? Stop bothering me.¡± What? Beatrice was infuriated and quite frankly, appalled at his attitude as she thought, ¡®This trash just rides roughshod over others at home, by taking advantage of my sister¡¯s help. Now that we are outside, how can you be so cruel to me?¡¯ At this moment, Beatrice¡¯s friends came over after hearing themotion. Mona eximed as she recognized Alex, ¡°Beatrice, isn¡¯t this your trashy brother-inw that you failed to drive away? Why is he here? Did you invite him?¡± Beatrice was infuriated. ¡°Nonsense! I would never invite him! Who knows how he got in, perhaps he came in without permission!¡± ¡°Oh, I know. You must have not given him food at home, so he must have slipped in after knowing there is free food here. That being said, Beatrice, isn¡¯t your family a little too mean? He is still your brother-inw, but you don¡¯t even feed him. Isn¡¯t it a bit too much?¡± Monaughed. She saw Beatrice as her love rival, so she would grab any opportunity to deride her in front of Wilson. Alex did not even bother with these people. He turned his attention toward the next delicacy on the table ¡ª king crab. However, someone stood in his way as he headed for the crabs: it was Wilson Jordan. Wilson, who wanted to back up Beatrice, blocked Alex as he said, ¡°Only VIPs are invited to the auction. Nobody can enter without an invitation. Where is your invitation? Show it to me!¡± ¡°Get lost, don¡¯te looking for trouble, kid,¡± Alex red at him. ¡°What? Trouble? Humph, a kept man like you is no match for me, Wilson Jordan.¡± Wilson said condescendingly, ¡°Let me tell you frankly, my uncle is the manager for Splendor Center and is the main organizer for tonight¡¯s auction. If we find out you came in uninvited and finished all of Beatrice¡¯s favorite lobsters, you are done for!¡± Alex did not bother to care about his words and casually shoved him away. Wilson made two turns and almost crashed into a nearby guest. Wilson was furious. ¡°You trash! How dare you touch me?! You are dead meat now!¡± Wilson quickly dialed his uncle¡¯s phone number. ¡°Uncle, I caught an uninvited guest here at the buffet section, devouring the food like a lunatic!¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What? I will be right there!¡± Wilson¡¯s uncle, Daniel Jordan was outraged after hearing it. After all, this was a prestigious auction and all kinds of big shots were invited. If anything went wrong, he would be held responsible. Therefore, he quickly rushed over to the buffet section, followed by three security guards. Meanwhile, Beatrice slightly frowned. That was because once Alex was caught sneaking into the auction hall for free food, his identity would be exposed. When the time came, everyone else would know that the bastard was her brother-inw, leaving her in great humiliation. So, she walked toward Alex. ¡°Rockefeller, you better leave now before Wilson¡¯s uncle arrives with security guards!¡± ¡°Why should I leave?¡± Alex smiled faintly. Beatrice stomped her feet angrily. ¡°How can you be so shameless?! When you are booted outter, not only will you embarrass yourself, but also my sister and me!¡± ¡°Rx, I will be okay.¡± ¡°You¡­ Fine. What a shame.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 162 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 162 Beatrice decided that she should stay away from the trouble. Daniel arrived not long after. ¡°Wilson, where is the uninvited guest you mentioned?¡± ¡°Right there, it¡¯s him.¡± Wilson pointed at Alex. Daniel looked toward the direction Wilson was pointing. His eyes turned cold as he saw Alex, who was wearing cheap casual clothes, devouring arge king crab. ¡°Sir, I am the venue manager for tonight¡¯s auction, Daniel Jordan. Please show your invitation.¡± Alex spat out the crab meat from his mouth. After pulling out a wet wipe from the side, he said as he slowly wiped his mouth, ¡°The king crab was cooked for too long and lost its texture, it¡¯s not tasty. Also, there are too few Australian lobsters here. Please get another te of Australian lobsters over. Don¡¯t forget to put on some ginger and vinegar.¡± Beatrice, who was five meters away from the scene, could not believe what she just saw as she thought, ¡®Does this fe not know that he¡¯s in a dire situation? What does he think this ce is? Back garden at home?¡¯ Even Wilson was dumbfounded, as he had never seen someone like this. Daniel waited for about thirty seconds, only to hear such words from Alex. In that instant, he was at his bursting point but managed to hold it in. With a cool voice, he said, ¡°Sir, you have to understand that if you cannot show us your invitation, I have the right to boot you out and perhaps even get you locked up.¡± He spoke a little too loud and attracted the attention of nearby guests. Soon, a crowd formed around them as it was the nature of country folks to enjoy watching bustling scenes. As the crowd inquired about the details, Wilson retold the story, with some exaggerations. Instantly, Alex was showered with looks of disgust. Alex was oblivious and said to Daniel, ¡°There are so many people here. Why don¡¯t you ask for their invitation as well? Why mine specifically? All I can say is this is discriminatory behavior, are you targeting me? Think carefully before you answer, or else you might not be able to bear the consequence.¡± As Alex spoke, he shoved the wet wipe, which he just used to clean his lips, into Daniel¡¯s suit pocket. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Such audacity! He was insane! Then, Beatrice took a few steps back for another three meters and secretly thought, ¡®You trash, just drop dead already. If you ever drag down our Assex family, I will never let you off the hook.¡¯ Wilson roared, ¡°Damn, what is wrong with you?¡± ¡°Uncle, I can prove that he came in uninvited. He is just a kept man at the Assex family who lives off his wife. He came here for the free food because he was starved at home.¡± ¡°Look, my friend over there is from the Assex family. She¡¯s his sister-inw.¡± All eyes were instantly on Beatrice. She was exasperated as she thought, ¡®Dumb Wilson, are you retard? You want to court me with such a low emotional quotient? Just get lost as far as possible.¡¯ Danielughed heartily as he said, ¡°Yes, I suspect you came in uninvited, please show me your invitation immediately. Otherwise, the security guards will escort you out of the hall.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have an invitation.¡± Alex shook his head, with a cold look in his eyes. ¡°You heard it? He admitted to it himself. Since he doesn¡¯t have an invitation, it means that he sneaked into the auction. How dare he make a ruckus here? Uncle, hurry and take him down!¡± Wilsonughed loudly. Daniel motioned to the three security guards, and they were just about to tackle Alex. ¡°Stop what you are doing!¡± At this moment, a crisp scream of a girl rang out. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 163 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 163 The crowd¡¯s gaze followed the direction of the voice. It came from a youthful girl with huge busts, who dressed in a purple school dress, approaching them quickly from the entrance. Thedy was Michelle Yowell. Some, who did not know who she was,ughed from the bottom of their hearts as they thought it was whimsical that a schoolgirl came to back Alex up. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Meanwhile, some chatty ones could not help but speak, ¡°Where did this kide from? She must be a socially awkward bookworm, foring here to disy her superiority.¡± ¡°Everyone present here has a rich background. This girl must havee to put up an ostentatious act by showing off her strength.¡± However, the person who spoke had his mouth covered by hispanion as he whispered to warn him, ¡°Are you nuts? She is that little devil from the Yowell family. Your family is finished if she sets her sights on you!¡± What? The man shivered and broke out in cold sweat. Earlier, he just said that the girl tried to show off her strength ostentatiously, but in the end, he was the one who tried to put up an ostentatious act! The man dared not utter another word. Quickly, he retreated, wishing that he could turn invisible right then and there so that no one else could notice him. On the other hand, Beatrice and her friends were shocked to find Michelle here, with a look of fear appearing on their faces. ¡°She came here as well,¡± Beatrice cursed silently as she retreated further. Of course, she knew Michelle. After all, they were both students of California State University. Beatrice was currently in her sophomore year while Michelle was a junior, but there was a vast difference between their status at the university. Although Beatrice was considered a campus belle, the Assex family was at best a mid-tier gentry in California. Furthermore, her family was at rock bottom of the Assex family as her family was disliked by Madame Joanne. Therefore, she was nothing but an ordinary campus belle. Meanwhile, Michelle was different. She was a campus belle, but her youthful face with huge busts made her topped the campus belle list. Coupled with her background as the heiress of one of the four great families in California, her presence at the university was godlike. More importantly, she was a hot-tempered character with many subordinates, who could respond en masse to her orders, so nobody in their right mind would think to anger her in any way. ¡°Michelle Yowell is not only fierce and ruthless in her actions, but she also likes to be meddlesome. Could it be that she is on Alex¡¯s side?¡± As Beatrice was trying to figure out the whole situation, Daniel suddenly greeted Michelle with smiles on his face and said courteously, ¡°Miss, this man right here does not have an invitation. He sneaked in here for free food and drinks. I am going to escort him out, so that his shenanigans will not disrupt our auction tonight.¡± Something dawned on the crowd. Some eximed, ¡°Oh, I remember now. Splendor Center is one of the Yowell family¡¯s ventures.¡± Because of that, the crowd looked at Alex with pity and derision in their eyes. To them, Alex was a finished man. Beatrice was even horrified and kept cursing Alex in her heart. He really brought his own destruction by offending Michelle. She was afraid that her family might be dragged down because of him. What a bearer of ill luck! Wilson Jordanughed. ¡°Oh Rockefeller, you trash. Looks like your cover has been blown, right? How dare you ask my uncle to think carefully before answering your question. Oh great, let me hear more of your nonsense then!¡± Daniel waved his hand, ¡°Get him!¡± However, as Daniel just finished speaking, Michelle suddenly rushed forward and leaped high before kicking him in the chest and sending him tumbling on the floor. She said coldly, ¡°Are you deaf? I said stop what you are doing, did you not hear me?¡± What? The crowd startled in confusion. Michelle continued, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller is my esteemed guest, how dare you kick him out? Who are you? What qualification do you have to do so?¡± She was livid. Her grandfather wanted her to treat Alex well. Even though she did not want to, her grandfather¡¯s life and the fate of their family¡¯s martial arts tradition allid in Alex¡¯s hand. It was not an understatement to say he controlled the lifeblood of the Yowell family. Even Michelle had to swallow the dissatisfaction. How could that bastard Daniel offend Alex again and again? He was going to be dead meat. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 164 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 164 ¡°But, he¡­¡± Before Daniel could utter another word, Michelle, who was fiery-tempered, kicked him again and said, ¡°Get lost, you are fired!¡± ¡°Argh!¡± Daniel was petrified and his face turned as white as a sheet. It took him years and consistent effort to get to the manager position of Splendor Center, but all it took was a minor misunderstanding to unravel all his hard work. At this moment, he red at Wilson with a strong urge to strangle his nephew. Wilson was shocked. Mona, Sam and the rest of the crowd were astonished as well. Beatrice could not believe it herself. How did that trash get involved with Michelle and even became her VIP? It was impossible! ¡®Could it be that this trash cheated on Sis, and courted Michelle?¡¯ That could be the only usible exnation. Daniel was quickly escorted out by the security guards under Michelle¡¯s orders. She then nced at Wilson and gave him a hard smack across the face. ¡°Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller.¡± Frightened, Wilson dared not utter a word as he faced the famous little devil from the Yowell family. He immediately dropped onto his knees and said, ¡°I am sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. I must be blind, failing to recognize that you are a VIP as well. I know you are a generous man, please forgive me!¡± Alex waved his hand without even deigning to look at Wilson. Michelle immediately yelled, ¡°Out!¡± Wilson dared not stay there, so he quickly left with his tails between his legs but his eyes were full of hatred. After that, both Mona and Sam also tactfully retreated, as they knew it would be dangerous to remain in the auction hall. They were here in the first ce because of Wilson, after all. Beatrice nced at Alex with a grim yet discontent expression and then left too. Only then did Michelle turn toward Alex and asked softly, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll be perturbed?¡± He retorted. Michelle pouted her lips as she did not know what to say. She suddenly got caught up with an urgent matter and arrivedte. Never did she expect that Alex would be treated badly. Yet, she wanted to apologize but she found it was extremely difficult to do so. ¡°The auction will start in a half-hour. Let me bring you to the VIP room on the second floor to take a rest. You can engage in the auction there too,¡± said Michelle. ¡°Do you have more Australian lobsters?¡± Alex pointed at the empty te, which was used to be filled up with Australian lobsters. Michelle was taken aback a little. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I want a dozen.¡± said Alex. Both Alex and Michelle headed for the VIP room. On the way, the people backed off as soon as they saw the both of them. After taking a turn in the corridors, Alex saw ady dressed in a ck evening gown. Thedy was Pepper Kimmich. Next to her was a bald guy. ¡°Advanced-Royal!¡± Alex immediately recognized the man¡¯s powers. There was even a serious and calm look on his face. Afterward, they went upstairs and entered the VIP room. The VIP room had a window that looked down into the actual auction floor. There was arge television screen as well, which was probably used to live-stream the bidding process on the auction block. Alex found it delightful. What was more satisfying was that the hotel staff really brought a dozen of Australian lobsters on his request. Now, he could enjoy the feast. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. However, just as he was about to dive into the crustacean feast, Michelle suddenly sped her hand on her chest and let out a painful groan before copsing onto him. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 165 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 165 ¡°Damn, what¡¯s the situation now? Did she bring me here so that she could throw herself at me?¡± As Alex put all his attention to the Australian lobsters and did not notice Michelle¡¯s face in agony, he was shocked to find her soft and warm body in his arms at the moment. More importantly, what should he do with ady who came throwing herself at him? ¡®You are a sneaky fellow, Keith Yowell! Setting me up like this!¡¯ Alex gritted his teeth, and thought maybe he should¡­ At this moment, Michelle groaned in pain again. While holding her chest, she spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly. What? Alex was shocked, as the throw up was almost spat on his face! ¡°Hey, Michelle! Michelle!¡± Only then did Alex realize he was wrong, Michelle did note onto him. Instead, she copsed into his arms because of the sudden onset of her injuries, she could not stand firmly. ¡°Damn, you should have told me earlier! You made me worry for nothing!¡± Alex muttered under his breath but kept his hands busy as he immediately took her pulse. With that, he could quickly understand her physical condition. It was probably because she overexerted herself and disrupted her internal energy when she kicked Daniel earlier. He gently shook his head. He was bereft of speech for a while, but he could not just stand there and do nothing. So, he lifted her up andid her down on a luxury couch, which was made of genuine leather, and forcefully pushed her sped hands away from her chest. ¡°Ah! Rockefeller, what are you trying to do to me? How dare you try taking advantage of me at this time. You¡¯re unscrupulous. I¡­ I will never forgive you!¡± ¡°No! I am on my period!¡± Alex was dejected. ¡°You crazy girl, what does your period have anything to do with me? You really thought I am going to sleep with you? Keep on dreaming. You are just having wishful thoughts, nobody in their right mind will sleep with you!¡± Michelle was vexed and wanted to spit another mouthful of blood. ¡°You dumbass, how dare you say that I am just having wishful thoughts. I am the top-notch campus belle in California State University. You are the blind one. How dare you¡­ ouch!¡± Alex realized that he could not waste any moment longer and quickly ced his palms down on Michelle¡¯s chest. With a push, he continuously poured in his restorative essence into her body. In just less than a half-minute, Michelle, who had intense heart palpitations and asthmatic attacks earlier, felt relieved as she let out a long sigh. Alex then stopped his first aid and went back to the Australian lobsters. Michelle just started to feel good but he had stopped the healing and went for Australian lobsters. She was a little upset as she was a stunning beauty, yet she was iparable with a few Australian lobsters. ¡°Hey, it felt great, can you do it again?¡± ¡°I¡¯m busy,¡± said Alex. She was riled up as she thought, ¡®You are not free but you have the time to eat lobsters? You obviously don¡¯t want to do it again!¡¯ That being said, at this moment, she finally believed his prowess as a doctor. She realized that she should not provoke him whatsoever, so she could only hold back her anger and sat on the couch while staring at him, who was enjoying the lobsters. ¡°Hello, this is Michelle Yowell, I would like a dozen Australian lobsters delivered to VIP room No 1.¡± ¡°I have had enough, thank you,¡± said Alex. ¡°Well, I have not!¡± Michelle retorted angrily. Finally, the auction began. As expected, the screen in the room was used to stream the happenings of the auction. It was even better and clearer than sitting in the auction hall. ¡°Splendor Center is owned by your family, why do you have to organize an auction? Can¡¯t you just take those useful medicinal herbs that you want?¡± Alex suddenly asked Michelle. Michelle replied, ¡°Of course not, we only provide the venue, but we are not the actual organizer. The actual auction is organized by the Southern California Business Association, or moremonly known as the SCBA. The authority is involved in this auction too.¡± Alex nodded in understanding. At this moment, he noticed Pepper Kimmich, who sat right below them, sat next to the bald fighter. They were in intimate contact. The bald fighter even ced his hand on Pepper¡¯s thigh, and chatted with her from time to time.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Is he Pepper Kimmich¡¯s husband?¡± He condensed the essence in his ears to sharpen his hearing, wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation. However, the soundproof system of the VIP room was very well done. Aside from some random chatter, he could not pick anything up from their conversation at all. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 166 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 166 At this moment, Michelle¡¯s voice interrupted Alex¡¯s concentration. ¡°Alex, do you want the tuber fleeceflower?¡± That was because the tuber fleeceflower was the auction item that was currently disyed on the screen in the VIP room. Alex nced at the screen and casually hummed in agreement. At this moment, the current price had reached seven million dors, coincidentally it was bidded by Pepper. She seemed convinced in obtaining it. However, Michelle immediately put forward a price of ten million dors. The auctioneer called, ¡°VIP room No. 1 has bidded ten million dors. Is there any bidder with a call higher than ten million dors?¡± Most of the attendees knew that the little devil from the Yowell family and the Australian lobster guy were the upants of VIP Room No. 1. Some people who wanted to contest the bid decided not to do it as they did not want to provoke the Yowell family. Pepper frowned and shouted again, ¡°Eleven million dors!¡± ¡°Fifteen million dors!¡± Michelle added. ¡°Sixteen million dors!¡± ¡°Twenty million dors!¡± Alex saw Baldy beside Pepper whispering in her ears as she hesitated, to which she gave up the bidding. The tuber fleeceflower was sold to Michelle at a hammer price of twenty million dors. The next three lots were of minor importance. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Then, a wild snow lotus, which was huge sized and cultivated a long time ago, was auctioned. ¡°Get this,¡± said Alex. The snow lotus was not needed for the Yowell family but was extremely helpful for Brittany¡¯s cultivation of Silver Frost. Apparently, Pepper and Baldy had their sights set on the snow lotus as well, with the bidding price soaring to a staggering thirty million dors. Throughout the auction, Alex had his cold eyes set on Pepper. Where did all her moneye from? Who was she actually? He knew, by intuition, that she had an ulterior motive working for his father. She was definitely involved in his death. Alex decided that he would like to ask her a few questions after the auction. ¡°Fifty million!¡± Michelle bidded another high price without blinking an eye, as though that was a meager amount of five dors. ¡°Crap!¡± Baldy was livid and fiercely mmed his fist down on the seat. Alex was a little surprised as he realized that Baldy was Japanese. Meanwhile, Pepper raised her head and red fiercely at the VIP room No. 1, as though she could see through the ss window and meet gaze with Alex. Unfortunately, the window was covered with two- way mirrors, so she could not see anything behind it. In the end, Michelle had sessfully bidded the snow lotus. The star of the show tonight was a two-century-old ginseng that Michelle wanted adamantly. The auction of the lot started aggressively, with its price soaring hastily. Pepper and Baldy were part of the group as well, aggressively outbidding each other. ¡°One hundred million!¡± Pepper bidded a high price of one hundred million dors, and immediately dwarfed everyone else¡¯s attempts. Apparently, the tuber fleeceflower and snow lotus were not her actual targets, but the ginseng was the main reason she attended the auction tonight. Seeing that no one else tried to outbid Pepper, Alex saw Pepper exuded a proud smile of victory, as though the item had already belonged to her. She even threw a cold nce at his direction. Suddenly, the auctioneer called, ¡°VIP room No. 1 has bidded 150 million dors, calling once!¡± What? In that instant, Pepper was flushed with intense anger. One hundred million dors was her limit, and she could not bid at a higher price. At this moment, Baldy turned around and ced his hand on her thigh as he whispered, ¡°It¡¯s fine if we can¡¯t bid it, we will get it free of charge from that trash. Let¡¯s go and get prepared.¡± A glint of wickedness shed across Pepper¡¯s eyes as she snickered. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 167 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 167 ¡°They are leaving early!¡± Alex¡¯s eyes shed as stood up and wanted to go after them instinctively. However, he was pulled back by Michelle. ¡°Where are you going? The auction items will be delivered soon, I want you to check them out with me.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you do it yourself?¡± ¡°I am not a connoisseur of medicinal herbs. Plus, those old guys who put up the items for auction this time are sly as a fox. Who knows if they decide to cheat us with a fake imitation. These herbs are needed to save my grandfather, so I have to be extra careful.¡± Alex thought for a while and then nodded . With a Japanese fighter apanying Pepper, he was unsure if he could capture her easily. Plus, Waltz already had surveince set up on Pepper, he could always do it in the future. As it turned out, Michelle worried too much. After all, that was an extravagant hotel owned by the Yowells. Who would dare to cheat Michelle, who bidded those medicinal herbs at high price? Half an hourter, the two of them left Splendor Center together with their auctioned items. ¡°Alex, why don¡¯t you give me a ride home?¡± Michelle requested. After all, she arrived at Splendor Center from California State University by someone else¡¯s car as her magnificent Rolls-Royce on the other day was totalled. Moreover, there were so many invaluable items, which were worth several hundred million dors, in her hands now, so she really needed a ride. ¡°Sure.¡± Alex agreed as he was not an unreasonable person.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. At this moment, Michelle¡¯s attitude toward him had improved and it did not feel ufortable to get along with him. He revved his M8 and headed for Yowell Manor. However, they did not realize that they were being watched at the entrance of the hotel. Immediately after they left, a ck Honda followed right behind them. While maneuvering the steering wheel and tracking them, the man spoke into his headset, ¡°Target acquired. This is Nine, I am now headed for Sunrise Boulevard, going eastward.¡± A woman replied, ¡°Do not lose them.¡± It was Pepper Kimmich¡¯s voice. ¡°Miss Kimmich, the target is not alone. Other than Alex Rockefeller, the abandoned son of the Rockefellers, Michelle Yowell, the heiress of the Yowell family is with him too.¡± ¡°Hmph, consider her unlucky then, what else can we do? Stick to the n, get it done clean and neat. I do not want any survivors.¡± ¡°Roger that!¡± Seated in the M8, Michelle could not but ask Alex, ¡°Is it true that I will not live past this year?¡± Alex nodded with a hum. ¡°I still do not believe it, you must be pulling my leg.¡± Michelle snorted. Alex did not answer as he looked into the rearview mirror. ¡°Hey, I am still feeling a little unwell, can you touch me again?¡± Michelle suddenly raised her chest and got closer to Alex. ¡°What?¡± Alex¡¯s eyes trembled a little as he quickly answered, ¡°Your seduction does not work on me. Do you think I will sleep with you because of that? Just give up, I will not fall into your trap.¡± He remembered Keith Yowell mentioning that he wanted Alex to be his grandson-inw. The Yowells were powerful, they would never let him go if there was something going on between Michelle and him. Even if he was not afraid of the Yowells, things could get worse with Dorothy. They might even divorce, and he did not want to see such results. After all, he could not abandon Dorothy, after what she had done for him. What a sly character Michelle was, foring onto him with this trick. ¡°What are you saying? How can a man like you be so selfish?¡± Michelle was livid. Alex red at her. ¡°Get out from my sights! Why are you acting like a slut? We have only met twice, I cannot believe you came up with such an indecent request. I am a proper man and will never fall into your trap.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Michelle wanted to kick him in his face badly as she thought that that jerk must have deliberately tried to provoke her. Suddenly, Alex jerked the steering wheel. In the midst of cursing Alex, Michelle, who did not wear her seatbelt, hit face-first into Alex¡¯s thigh. She jumped in shock. ¡°What are you doing, jerk!¡± As she returned to her seat, Alex did the same thing again, and sent her crashing forward. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 168 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 168 ¡°You!¡± Michelle was so angry she could not say a thing. However, at the moment, the rear of the car was hit. ¡°What happened? Did you hit someone? Jerk, I told you to focus on your driving! Oh great!¡± Michelle called out. Before she could make sense of what happened, anotherrge car, driven against the traffic, headed for their car at full speed. The heamps were so bright that one could hardly open his eyes. ¡°Ah!¡± Michelle instinctively screamed. If being hit head-on with the car, even an M8 could not withstand the impact force and it might be squashed like a meatloaf. At this moment, Alex mmed his foot on the throttle and managed to dodge the oing car with a sharp left swerve. Therge car scratched the rear of the M8 before crashing into the ck Honda, which followed right behind. Bang! The situation was rming. Without hesitation, Alex once again stepped on the throttle and sped away. Returning to her senses, Michelle said, ¡°It was an ident, your car has been hit. Why are you running away from it? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being held ountable for a hit-and-run?¡± Alex said with a cold look in his eyes, ¡°They wereing after us.¡± Alex immediately thought of John Rockefeller, and then Pepper Kimmich. ¡°What did you say? They wereing after us?¡± Michelle was livid after regaining herposure. ¡°Turn back, turn back! I have unfinished business with those people!¡± Alex ignored her. ¡°Are all youthfuldies with huge busts stupid?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Look ahead.¡± Michelle trained her sights on the road in front and saw at least a dozen cars headed their way full speed with their heamps set on high. Instantly, they lost vision of the road ahead as their eyes were illuminated by those bright lights. ¡°Go!¡± Alex forcefully turned the steering wheel and sped down a narrowne. ¡°Hurry and chase after them!¡± A real-life version of The Fast and Furious unfolded in the streets of California. The opponents had at least twenty-odd cars chasing after them. Under such circumstances, even if Alex was to get off the car and fight them, he did not think he could win the battle with certainty. Not to mention that there was also Michelle whom he had to take care of, after all, he was just a person but not an omnipotent god. Crack! The side mirror of his car was knocked off by a nearby car that managed to get close. Michelle yelled, ¡°Hit him! Pull the emergency brake! Idiot, do you know how to race? Don¡¯t you even know how to hit a car? Get off the seat, let me do it instead.¡± Crap! Alex had to admit that he was not good at drag racingpared to Michelle, who had been doing drag racing skillfully since she was young. ¡°Okay, get over here!¡± Alex nudged the seat backward as Michelle immediately climbed over. Suddenly, they were hit by a car on the left. Michelle swayed before dropping into the seat hard. ¡°Damn!¡± Alex screamed, ¡°Hey, little girl. Are you trying to kill me?¡± At this moment, he nced outside the window, only to see Baldy in the driver¡¯s seat: he was the same bald fighter who apanied Pepper Kimmich earlier. A sudden burst of murderous intent welled up inside Alex. Finally, he moved to the passenger seat. Michelle was really good at drag racing, skilfully maneuvering the car as if she was born to do it. After all, this little girl was notpletely useless. Michelle managed to send Baldy¡¯s car flying into a ditch with a sudden stop. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hey! That was a good one!¡± She eximed with a proud look on her face. However, as they drove onto a bridge, three dump trucks suddenly came speeding toward them. Bang! Even if Michelle had decent driving skills, it was impossible to fly over those trucks. After getting hit hard, the M8 was knocked out of the bridge and sent flying into the waters at a height of thirty meters. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 169 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 169 What would one feel when a car crashed into a river from arge bridge at a height of thirty meters? Anyway, it was a magnificent sight. A loud noise sounded with a boom, and the sshed water went up to a height of ten meters. It was no different from crashing into a concrete surface. The airbags were instantly deployed. Michelle fainted in a state of extreme fear. On therge bridge, a few passing cars stopped to check out what happened with a few people contacting the police as well. A woman, who wore a mask and a cap, came off from one of the dump trucks. She was Pepper Kimmich. Walking toward the edge of the bridge, she took a few nces down into the waters below before hurriedly speaking into her dedicated headset to give her orders, ¡°Stand by the river in case they try to escape. Divers, prepare to get the items. The rest on the ground, retreat and watch for cover. The authorities will be here soon.¡± After firing off a few orders in quick session, she left in a ck car. Soon after, the dump trucks on the bridge hurriedly left. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Those men, who were arranged by Pepper for the chase earlier, evacuated in just a few minutes¡¯ time. ¡­. Half an hourter, the divers reported to Pepper that Alex¡¯s car was empty. They could neither find the two of them nor the century-old medicinal herbs from auction earlier. ¡°What? How could this happen?¡¯ In a luxurious vi, Pepper was livid after hearing the reports. After all, she had nned such a huge operation and invested countless manpower, causing such a huge stir, as well as spending extra effort to prevent the leak of the incident, but it was all in vain. ¡°Where are the targets? Where did they go? Didn¡¯t I order you to keep a watch? How could you lose them, are you guys blind?¡± The century-old medicinal herbs, particrly the two-hundred-year-old ginseng, was very important to Pepper and it must not be lost. Her subordinate replied, ¡°Miss Kimmich, our men were vignt and scanned the perimeter multiple times but they did not see anyoneing out of the water at all. We guessed that¡¯s because the river is connected to the ocean, and at that time, the gate holding the ocean was opened, the river current became swift as the tide flew into the river. They were probably flushed away by the swift current after climbing out of their car, and they are most probably dead by now.¡± ¡°A bunch of fools! Why do I need you guys if you can¡¯t evenplete such a simple task?!¡± Pepper was very angry. She did not care for Alex and Michelle¡¯s lives at all, what she cared the most was the century-old medicinal herbs. After ending the call, she angrily shattered a coffee with a kick. Baldy came up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. ¡°Rx, my dear. There¡¯s no need to be angry. Even if the century-old medicinal herbs are gone, we can always search for them. In fact, I¡¯d rather take it easy, as I don¡¯t want to go back and serve the old man that quickly. Come, let us rx.¡± At this moment, Pepper¡¯s cell phone rang once again. It was a call from John Rockefeller. ¡°Pepper, I have something to discuss with you. Can youe to the teahouse?¡± said John. Immediately, Pepper motioned Baldy to be quiet. Earlier, she was cursing angrily but her expression changed instantly. Putting on a sweet voice, she said, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you¡¯re looking for me? Is there anything? Today, I¡­ my body is not really up for it!¡± John replied, ¡°Pepper, do you think I¡¯m looking for you because of that kind of business? I am thinking of ways to kill that brat, Alex. I don¡¯t know where that brat learned martial arts, he¡¯s actually a fighter now. I can never get a good night¡¯s sleep as long as he is alive and kicking!¡± Pepper cackled like a hen. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you can sleep well tonight. I just received news that Alex¡¯s car crashed into the East River. He¡¯s dead.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°This is good news! Come to the teahouse now, Pepper, I want to thank you!¡± ¡°Well¡­ uh¡­ okay!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 170 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 170 As the phone was hung up, Baldy yelled, ¡°You are going to apany the old man? Who does he think he is, why don¡¯t we just kill him?¡± ¡°Not yet, he is still useful to us,¡± said Pepper. ¡­ Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Ssh! On the north side of the East River, Alex crawled out of the water, with Michelle in his arms, onto the sandy banks. He immediately did cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Michelle, followed by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and stimtion of the electric Chi needle. In less than a half-minute, she coughed up the river water and woke up. ¡°I am still alive?¡± ¡°Just barely.¡± Alex struggled to sit down on the ground. What happened earlier was really treacherous. The deployed airbags were a hindrance to his escape. Moreover, after the impact of the collision earlier, the front car was deformed and Michelle¡¯s legs were wedged in the car. After exerting tremendous effort, he managed to free her from the car, only to be swept away by the strong currents. Fortunately, they were both alive. Michelle licked her lips and felt a little strange. ¡°You¡­ kissed me?¡± ¡°Kiss? Who kissed you? It was mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!¡± ¡°You¡­You jerk!¡± Michelle was on the verge of crying. ¡°It was my first kiss!¡± ¡°Are you crazy? What is more important? Your life or your first kiss?¡± ¡°Oh, what is there to live if my first kiss is tainted just like that?¡± Alex was speechless for a while. He found it was extremely difficult tomunicate with such a post- millennial youthful girl with huge busts, after all there was a massive gap between them, which was even bigger than Mariana Trench. ¡°They came after us for the century-old medicinal herbs. I saved both your life and the herbs in exchange for my car. You have topensate me,¡± said Alex. ¡°What about my first kiss? How are you going to atone for that?¡± ¡°Damn¡­¡± ¡°Alright, alright! I will send you a new car tomorrow.¡± It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night when Alex arrived home. Never did he expect to see Brittany and Waltz were still up watching television while waiting for him to return. ¡°Son, why did youe backte?¡± ¡°Exactly, Madame was worried sick! The news earlier reported an ident on the East River Bridge where a collision happened between a car and a dump truck, and the car ended up crashing into the river. No bodies were found, the driver is perhaps dead. We could not reach you and thought it was you!¡± eximed Waltz. ¡®Great guess, it was me indeed!¡¯ thought Alex. However, he said, ¡°Of course it wasn¡¯t me. Anyway, it is gettingte, try not to stay up toote.¡± Brittany looked at the duo and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep now. Young people like you are pretty energetic, right? You can sleep whenever you want.¡± Alex was dumbfounded. What did his mother imply? At the same time, Spark Rockefeller, after learning of Alex¡¯s death from his father, immediately leaped in delight. He quickly came up with an idea and dialed a number. ¡°Go and buy a coffin tonight, Abe. I want it by tomorrow morning.¡± Carol was right there when Spark made the phone call. She asked, ¡°What do you need a coffin for?¡± Spark snickered. ¡°Alex is our rtive anyhow. Now that he is dead, isn¡¯t it appropriate for us to send them a coffin? Just think about it, he used to be a kept man who lives off his wife and Brittany just woke up. I don¡¯t think they have the money to buy one.¡± After listening to his words, hatred welled up in Carol as she recalled Alex¡¯s beating. ¡°Great idea. I am going with you too.¡± said Carol hurriedly. ¡°How can you leave me out? I aming too!¡± Olivia Banks, John¡¯s wife, chimed in. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 171 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 171 The next day, two cars arrived at Maple Vi¡¯s entrance before 7 am. Inside the front car, a luxurious Porsche, was Spark, Carol, Olivia, and Mariah. Spark¡¯s arm hadn¡¯t completely healed yet, hence Carol was the one who drove. Following them was a box truck, within it, a coffin they had boughtst night. Bursting with excitement and joyst night, Spark could barely get any sleep at all. Theck of sleep had caused him to have a pair of bloodshot eyes. Nheless, he still seemed pretty energized. He just couldn¡¯t sleep, thinking about Alex¡¯s death. Now, he was sending a coffin to his house, and he would be able to insult Brittany harshly as well. It was all so exciting, more exciting than sleeping with any woman¡­ That, however, reminded him about something unfortunate. After previously unable to get it on with a model, Spark felt as if he was experiencing a mental block. Lately, he hadn¡¯t been able to get a physical reaction at all. The other two women sitting in the back chattered among themselves. ¡°Brittany used to call herself the Steel Woman, bossing us around all the time. Tsk! What a joke!¡± ¡°Right? She should¡¯ve just stayed a vegetable. Why did she even wake up from hera? Just look at her now. First, her husband died, and now, her son too! It would¡¯ve been so much better if she didn¡¯t wake up. They could have a family reunion down there!¡± It was then that security guards stopped their car. In an attempt to get away, Carol tried leveraging her status. ¡°I¡¯m Carol Rockefeller from Rockefeller Group. Open the gates, I need to go in there.¡± The guard refused. ¡°If you don¡¯t own a property here, you¡¯re not allowed in. You may only enter if a resident here lets you in. In the end, Spark was able to contact a friend who owned a property in Maple Vi. They lied that they were here to deliver some furniture, hence they were let in. After getting through the gates, they drove closer to the eighth vi. Spark was so excited that he started trembling. ¡°Spark, we¡¯re here at Number 8. Do we need to ring the doorbell?¡± Carol asked. Spark harrumphed. ¡°What doorbell? Just drive right in.¡± John had arranged an underground fighter to apany them, he was currently driving the box truck that was behind. This was a much more reliable fighter than the one Spark had found himself. It was all because John supported Spark¡¯s idea to send a coffin to their doorstep. If he weren¡¯t busy, John would¡¯ve gone with them as well. With a loud crash, the steel gates to Number 8 flew right off. The truck crashed right into the pavement. Spark started jumping in absolute joy, cheering in ecstasy. He then ordered Carol to follow the truck immediately. Before they could properly stop the car, however, he rushed out and yelled, ¡°Brittany, my good old aunt, I have a gift for you!¡± Olivia and Patricia turned to each other, their eyes filled with excitement and delight as well. Brittany and Waltz, who had just woken up from their slumber, rushed out of the vi. ¡°Spark, you little brat! How dare you ram our gate? What do you want?¡± barked a fuming Brittany. Olivia got out of the car. ¡°What? How dare you call my son a little brat? Have you gonepletely mental from losing your husband and son, Brittany? And just look at what you¡¯re wearing. Attending a funeral or remarrying some random ?¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. ¡®What did you say?¡¯ Brittany froze and turned to Waltz. Spark cackled. ¡°Brittany, you actually don¡¯t know? What a great mother you are. Your son died, yet here you are dressing up nicely. Unlike you, we¡¯re very sad about his death. Just look, we came early just to give you this present!¡± ¡°What present?¡± Spark had been waiting for this moment, he yelled as soon as he heard her question. ¡°Mr. Greg, open the truck box. It¡¯s gift time!¡± Bam! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 172 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 172 The two fighters then moved a rosewood coffin out from the truck. As they ced it on the ground, it thudded loudly, shaking up a cloud of dust from the pavement. ¡°Ah!¡± Even Waltz screamed upon the sight of the coffin, the expression on her face grim. In their culture, giving a coffin as a gift was an extreme taboo. Brittany¡¯s face drained of color, her whole body trembling. Spark cackled once more and croaked pretentiously, ¡°So? Do you like the gift? Just so you know, this coffin is made out of high-quality rosewood. It¡¯s a pity that Alex, my dear cousin, had to die at such a young age!¡± ¡°It was such a pity that he had to toil away for the Assex¡¯. His wife wouldn¡¯t even let him sleep with her! All he could do was lie in a crummy room, taking care of the three women¡¯s daily necessities. He got insulted every single day too! Oh, what a shame!¡± ¡°My cousin was so poor; I bet he couldn¡¯t even buy himself a coffin, which is why I¡¯m here with this gift! I¡¯m so sorry for your loss, Aunt Brittany!¡± Brittany¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. She had reached her wit¡¯s end. ¡°Shut up, you bastard! My son is in his room right now, well and alive. My son wouldn¡¯t die even if you did!¡± Mariah shook her head. ¡°Oh Brittany, looks like you¡¯re really oblivious about what happened, huh? Alex was involved in a car crash. He really died. It was all over the news too. How could you not know? You¡¯re his mother, for god¡¯s sake.¡± Upon hearing those words, Brittany¡¯s heart tumbled into an abyss.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. They didn¡¯t seem like they were kidding, as if something bad really did happen to her son. ¡®But Alex is still sleeping in his room!¡¯ Waltz spoke up, ¡°I¡¯ll go check on him.¡± Her movements were swift and quick. She whispered into Brittany¡¯s ear. ¡°He¡¯s not in his room, neither is he in the basement. I¡¯ve looked everywhere¡­ He really isn¡¯t around.¡± ¡®What?!¡¯ Brittany was beginning to be stricken by panic. ¡®Did he get into a car crash this morning after going out?¡¯ she thought. She then went to check the garage, and the M8 really wasn¡¯t there. He wasn¡¯t picking his phone up as well. She turned to the bright red coffin. Brittany¡¯s legs became like jelly, and she copsed onto the ground. ¡°Well do you believe us now?¡± Olivia stared down on Brittany, now as white as a sheet. Olivia¡¯s expression came off as smug, an evil grin stered across her face. ¡°I said so, didn¡¯t I? You¡¯re just bad luck, woman. Your bad luck killed your husband, and now you killed your son too. Thank god you¡¯re no longer a Rockefeller, else our whole family would¡¯ve fallen victim to your bad luck as well. See? Why did you have to wake up from thata, huh? You should¡¯ve stayed a vegetable. Look at what you¡¯ve done! Are you happy now?¡± Waltz helped Brittany up. ¡°Madame, don¡¯t listen to them. Brother won¡¯t die so easily. He has miraculous skills after all.¡± With a cold re, Waltz turned to Spark. ¡°You! Tell us everything you know. Don¡¯t you dare lie or leave out any details.¡± She didn¡¯t want to intrude initially, they were all Alex¡¯s rtives after all. However, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to keep quiet after witnessing their attitude. ¡®If Alex really did die, are you guys even grieving?¡¯ ¡®Just look at yourselves, you appear so overjoyed, I would be fooled to think you were here for a wedding!¡¯ Spark gave Waltz the side-eye, not knowing who she was after all. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± he roared. ¡°How dare you speak to me like that? You must be the maid huh? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!¡± Without so much as a warning, Waltz pped Spark across the face, hard and tight. For a moment, Spark saw stars twinkling above his head before he flopped to the ground. ¡°Sparky!¡± Olivia shrieked. ¡°You little bi¡®tch! How dare you p my son? Mr. Greg, Mr. Joey! Hold this b*tch down, I want to break her arms!!!¡± ¡°Yes, Madame!¡± The two fighters lunged towards Waltz. Waltz, however, swung her leg toward the two and sent them flying. ¡°Hmph, wimps!¡± The Rockefellers were shocked. Before arriving at Alex¡¯s house, they knew that there¡¯d be conflict. They thought bringing along these two experienced fighters would assure their safety. That said, this was thest thing they expected. Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke softly behind them. ¡°What happened? Who is this coffin for?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 173 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 173 Alex strolled into the gate, holding a bag of breakfast biscuits. He had gone out to train early in the morning and decided to get some breakfast afterward. He didn¡¯t expect toe back to a bright red coffin at his doorstep, let alone meeting Spark and the others. His tone was calm, yet his gaze extremely chilling. ¡®Who the heck would just send a coffin to someone¡¯s doorstep when there wasn¡¯t a funeral, to begin with?¡¯ ¡°Son..!¡± Brittany rushed to Alex and hugged him tightly as soon as she saw him. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she just couldn¡¯t hold them in anymore. Before Alex came back, she had been truly terrified by the news. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Brittany was emotionally fragile at this point. She just couldn¡¯t bear losing another loved one. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong? Am I not standing here in front of you, alive and well? I was just worried that you¡¯d be stressed out from making breakfast every day. That¡¯s why I got some for us.¡± Alex smiled. On the other hand, Spark and the others just couldn¡¯t believe their eyes, their joy overturned by terror, disbelief and shock. ¡°No way¡­ there¡¯s absolutely no way!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be dead? How are you still alive?¡± Spark yelled out loud, losing his cool. ¡°Dead?¡± Alex paused for a moment. He stepped out of his mother¡¯s embrace and approached Spark. His fingers ran lightly on the bright red coffin as he walked past it. Carol and the others took a few steps back Having witnessed how Alex had smashed the table into pieces just a few days ago, thest thing they wanted was to get pped by him. How could their fragile bodies hold up against such an impact? ¡°These people ran over our gates early in the morning, gave us a coffin, and lied about you getting into a car crash! Can you believe them?¡± said Waltz. ¡°Oh, really?¡± Alex stared down at Spark, who had slumped to the ground. He shook his head gently. ¡°I thought you would¡¯ve learned your lesson after that punishment. Looks like you haven¡¯t, huh?¡± Olivia¡¯s motherly instincts were immediately triggered, as she quickly used her own body to protect Spark. ¡°Alex, don¡¯t you dare do anything rash! We just heard that you died, so we sent a coffin over because we¡¯re rtives. Since this was all just a misunderstanding, we¡¯ll leave now.¡± She then helped Spark up and was ready to make a run for it. ¡°Who said you could leave?¡± snapped Alex. Waltz, on the other hand, stood in front of Spark and Olivia, blocking their way out. Carol growled, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare cross the line, Alex!¡± Upon hearing those words, Alex smiled. ¡°You were the ones who came running into my gate so early in the morning and even sent a coffin to my doorstep. Yet, you think I¡¯m the one who crossed the line? Aren¡¯t you just full of sh*t, Carol Rockefeller?¡± Alex immediately took a step forward and walked up to Carol. ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Carol wanted to escape, but Alex grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back. With his other hand, he opened the bright red coffin and stuffed Carol inside. ¡°Arghhhhh!¡± Carol shrieked in hysteria. Although it was a brand new coffin, the very fact that she was forced to lie inside alive sent chills down her spine. Watching her daughter getting stuffed into the coffin, Mariah screamed, ¡°Help! Murder!¡± Alex huffed, ¡°Waltz, stuff all of them into the coffin.¡± ¡°Alright..!¡± Waltz got the job done easily as if she wanted the chaos to ensue. She had seen worse after all. No matter how much Olivia or Mariah screamed, all three of them were stuffed into the coffin within a few minutes. Thank god the coffin that Spark bought was pretty big in size, or else it wouldn¡¯t have fit all four of them. With a loud thud, the coffin was shut tightly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 174 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 174 Waltz pped to remove the dust off her hands. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m done.¡± Brittany, however, was slightly shaken at the scene. ¡°Alex, would they suffocate in there? We are still rtives, after all, and a light punishment would suffice. If something bad were to happen to them, then this wouldn¡¯t be the end of it.¡± Alex replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom, nothing bad would happen to them.¡± He used his index finger to poke a few holes into the coffin, ensuring that they had enough oxygen to breathe. ¡°Waltz, take care of mom. I¡¯ll be sending this coffin back, along with these bastards.¡± Brittany knew that if she let her son go alone, he might make matters worse. She immediately said, ¡°Alex, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Waltz wanted to tag along as well, seemingly excited. ¡°Then¡­ Alright! But let¡¯s have breakfast first before we go. It won¡¯t hurt to take a short break.¡± A few momentster, arge Mercedes Benz drove right in front of Rockefeller Manor. Noah and one of their security guards carefully lifted Bill out of the car. The old man was diagnosed with paresis following a stroke. Due to his old age, it was almost impossible for him to stand anymore. After staying in the hospital for a few days, he had been constantlyining about their service and demanded to be discharged. He¡¯d rather recuperate back at home. Upon entering the manor, Bill leaned against the back of his wheelchair and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Olivia? Mariah too. Why didn¡¯t theye to help out today? Are they disgusted by me because I¡¯m paralyzed now? Do they think I¡¯m dead?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Noah replied, ¡°No dad, that¡¯s not it.¡± ¡°How is that not it?¡± ¡°Dad, Alex died in a car crashst night, so Spark bought a coffin and sent it over. Olivia and Mariah tagged along for fun.¡± ¡°What?¡± The statement took Bill by surprise, yet he didn¡¯t look sad at all. He even started cackling after a brief moment of pause. ¡°Amazing! This is amazing! That little pest finally died! He was an embarrassment to the Rockefellers. That useless loser should¡¯ve died long ago! What about Brittany? Has the b*tch died yet?¡± Noah was taken aback. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Bill huffed. ¡°She deserves death more than anyone else.¡± Just then, a loud crash came from the door of their manor. One of the doors flung wide open and fell right in front of Bill and the others with a deafening bang. They were so shocked that they were almost wet themselves. What followed right after was a man with a bright red coffin on his shoulders. He walked briskly into the manor with a smug look stered on his face. It was Alex, followed by Brittany and Waltz. Realizing that the man was Alex, Noah asked in a stupor, ¡°Alex, aren¡¯t you dead?!¡± Stretching out his neck, Bill pointed at the coffin with trembling hands. ¡°You pest, you f*cking pest! How dare you send a coffin to the Rockefellers? What are you even doing?! What do you want? I¡¯m not dead yet!¡± Alex was extremely disappointed in his grandfather. Before kicking down the door, he overheard their conversation. As an elderly, he shouldn¡¯t have said anything as such. This meant that Bill had never actually treated them like family. ¡°You may be near death, old man, but you don¡¯t deserve to have this coffin.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s John? Have hime out this instant!¡± Alex said as he mmed the coffin to the ground. Screams wereing from inside of the coffin. ¡°Ahhhh!¡± ¡°Some¡­ someone¡¯s inside?¡± Appalled, everyone froze on their feet. Noah definitely recognized his wife and daughter¡¯s screams from inside the coffin as well. ¡°Let them go! Now!¡± Noah yelled hysterically. Alex said calmly, ¡°You should¡¯ve thought twice before sending this coffin to my doorstep. I¡¯m just returning the favor. If you want them all out alive, then call John over.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 175 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 175 John¡¯s meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about how his family had sent Brittany a coffin. He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-inw. Back when William was still alive, Brittany was second-in-charge of the sales and finances of Rockefeller Group. It was extremely difficult to pull tricks behind her back when he was working under her. She had scolded him multiple times for tampering with documents, and humiliating him. He had always wanted to hire some men to kidnap her and humiliate her twice as much as she did to him. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. However, due to a meeting with the directors, it was regretful that he had to miss out on a great show. He immediately called his son, yet Spark didn¡¯t pick up. ¡®This little brat, how dare he ignore my calls? Is he having too good of a time insulting that b*tch? Hence why he couldn¡¯t hear his phone ring?¡¯ Just then, Pepper walked into the office, and she had on an elegant ck uniform, with a pair of heels. She was holding a cup of fresh ground Brazilian coffee. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, your coffee¡­¡± John, however, didn¡¯t take the coffee. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her body against his. ¡°Sparky bought a coffin to send off that useless pest, Alex. Why don¡¯t we go over and check it out?¡± Pepper smiled. ¡°To Brittany¡¯s? Sure!¡± Brittany used to be her boss¡¯ wife, hence Pepper had to be at her service back then. Since she could insult her openly now, she was overjoyed to join in the fun. Just as the two were preparing to leave, Noah called John. ¡°John, pleasee back home quickly! Things are bad!¡± ¡°Huh? What could possibly go wrong back home?¡± ¡°Ugh, juste back now! Quickly!¡± Noah sounded like a mess, he didn¡¯t even exin anything in the call. Yet John didn¡¯t care about that at all. He knew that his second brother had always been a talentless bloke and would freak out over the smallest things. Hence, Noah had no clue that William was not blood-rted to them. ¡°He wants you home?¡± Pepper smiled. ¡°To hell with it! Noah has always been a wimp, we¡¯ll just go enjoy the show.¡± John and Pepper headed straight for Maple Vi. With his status, he was easily let in. Upon reaching Alex¡¯s vi, however, there wasn¡¯t a single person in sight. Just then, Noah called again. ¡°John, where are you?! Why aren¡¯t you back yet?¡± John raged at his persistence. ¡°What¡¯s up with you? You may have a ton of free time, but I¡¯m a busy man.¡± Noah fumbled over his words hastily, ¡°John, please, you have toe back home now, no matter how busy you are. Both your son and wife are in a coffin, and my wife and daughter are in there too.¡± ¡°What? My son died?!¡± He couldn¡¯t be bothered even if Olivia fell into a ditch and died. ¡°Not yet. But if you don te home now, then things would be much worse. Both Alex and Brittany are here.¡± ¡°Alex? Isn¡¯t he dead already?¡± ¡°No! He¡¯s well and alive!¡± ¡®Oh f*ck!¡¯ John felt as if his heart had dropped into his stomach after the call ended. It was as if he was about to hook up with an ethereal beauty and even with the additional pills to heat things up, he realized that the beauty was a trap all along. ¡°Alex isn¡¯t dead yet?¡± Pepper¡¯s eyes lit up. She didn¡¯t seem disappointed at all but instead looked extremely delighted. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that the Ancient Medicine is still with him?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 176 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 176 ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, Alex is a fighter, and a pretty skilled one too. He must be fuming now, and it would be dangerous to meet him without any backup. I know a guy. He¡¯s a fairly skilled fighter too. It¡¯d be better if I asked him to back us up.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Pepper immediately dialed Baldy¡¯s number. She started nning in her head immediately. Since Alex wasn¡¯t dead yet, it could only mean that he still had the medicine with him, and she would be able to take it from him forcefully. She knew she didn¡¯t have the skills to snatch it from the Yowells. However, if it was just Alex that she had to deal with, everything felt much morefortable. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. At the same time, a crowd had formed around the coffin at the Rockefeller Manor. Almost everyone in the manor hade out to watch. The maids, guards, and even Paige and her husband rushed out as soon as they got the news. Paige stomped her feet in fury. ¡°How dare you, Brittany? You ¡¯ve gone too far¡­ You¡¯ve crossed the line! How dare you lock them up in a coffin? Do you not have a single sense of humanity left? How inhumane are you?¡± Brittany wasn¡¯t fazed by Paige at all. ¡°You should speak for yourself, as well as every Rockefeller in this household. If it weren¡¯t for your big brother, and if it weren¡¯t for me, none of you would be living such blissful lives. Look at you. Givenchy outfit, Prada purse¡­ You¡¯re even wearing Cartier essories. Your whole outfit costs millions. Do you think you¡¯d be able to wear such luxury with your own abilities? All of this was because of how hard your brother and I had to work for the family.¡± ¡°Besides, when you were neen, you almost ended up in a pyramid scheme just because you wanted to meet up with an online friend. Who was the one who risked his life to save you? Your big brother, William! He ended up with a scar on his back because of you! If you have any sense of humanity at all, do you even remember that happening?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the inhumane one? Reflect on yourself!¡± Paige fell silent, and her face went dark at Brittany¡¯s harsh mockery. She didn¡¯t know what else to say. Brittany turned to Noah. ¡°And you! You¡¯re the weakest among all the Rockefeller brothers. You¡¯re the softest hearted too! Every time you were bullied, William was the one who stood up for you. If it weren¡¯t for your brother, why would the Hamiltons give Mariah¡¯s hand in marriage to you? And how did you repay him? The moment your brother died, you agreed to drive us out of the Rockefeller family. Do you know how much my son had to endure? Where¡¯s your sense of humanity, huh?¡± Noah was trembling. ¡°That.. that was father¡¯s and John¡¯s decision. I don¡¯t have a say in that.¡± Brittany snapped in anger, ¡°No, you¡¯re just in useless.¡± Lastly, she turned to Bill. However, Bill had no remorse at all. All he did was re at Brittany, and it was as if he wanted to skin her alive and drain her of all blood. Hatred was seeping out of his soul. Brittany knew that Bill was never fond of her, and he had been bad mouthing her behind her back too. Now that William had passed, he spared no mercy. Brittany took a nce at him, not saying a word. She knew that he wouldn¡¯t listen to a word she said. The entire time this was happening, Waltz stood by Brittany¡¯s side, whereas Alex stood next to the pond, not moving a muscle. He was staring at fishes as they swam freely, and his gaze was nk as if he was in deep thought. Suddenly, loud and fast-paced footsteps could be hearding from the entrance. Alex turned around as soon as John, Pepper, and a bald fighter barged into the manor. John rushed in and noticed the bright red coffin. As terrified screams emanated from within it, John¡¯s blood boiled, and he raised his voice. ¡°How dare you, Brittany? Open the coffin right now and let them go!¡± Just then, Spark, who was still in the coffin, screamed for help. ¡°Dad, help me! Get me out of here! I¡¯m going to die from suffocation!¡± Carol yelled hysterically too. ¡°Uncle, please help! I¡­ I¡¯m getting crushed!¡± She was at the very bottom and hence had to endure the most weight as well. Olivia screamed, ¡°Honey, I can¡¯t take it anymore! I need to pee!¡± The other three in the coffin gasped for air. The color drained from their faces. Oliviay at the very top of the human pile. ¡®If she were to pee in there, wouldn¡¯t that mean they¡¯d be getting a golden shower?¡¯ John immediately rushed over to open the coffin. However, a delicate hand firmly pushed the coffin lid down. It was Waltz. Her pinkish cherry lips curved into a soft smile. ¡°Not yet.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 177 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 177 ¡®What?¡¯ John red at Waltz. His veins were bulging through his forehead. ¡°Who do you think you are? You don¡¯t deserve to even speak to me. Get lost!¡± From his point of view, Waltz was just like any other woman, perhaps slightly better looking. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have tried to flirt with such a beauty. However, given the current circumstances where his wife and son were both locked in a coffin, he wasn¡¯t in the mood for that. John pushed hard on the coffin cover. However, it didn¡¯t budge at all. It was sealed shut with nails. After all, his strength alone would never be enough to open the coffin. ¡°Guards? Guards! Come and help me out here! Are you all f*cking braindead? I didn¡¯t pay you just to stand there and do nothing!¡± John roared, spitting his saliva all over the ce with every syble uttered. The guards just looked at each other and didn¡¯t dare to help. They¡¯ve learned their lesson after going up against Waltz. This gorgeous vixen was someone they feared, for she had the ability to make them suffer in immense pain. Compared to a few thousand dors, they valued their lives much more. John was furious. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Are you guys deaf? Or are you idiots?¡± A guard replied, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I¡­ I quit. I can¡¯t do this anymore. I¡¯ve gotten my sry forst month too, so I don¡¯t need you to pay me back for the past few days of this month. Goodbye!¡± He then dashed out of Rockefeller Manor and was out of sight in a blink of an eye. ¡°What?!¡± John was stunned, he just couldn¡¯t believe it. Just then, all their security guards resigned as well. They did the same thing, refusing to take this month¡¯s sry and just left. ¡°This..? What the f*ck..!¡± John was about to explode. He couldn¡¯t fathom their actions at all. ¡®Were they scared of Alex?¡¯ Just then, Pepper signaled Baldy to take action. Baldy clicked his tongue but nodded obediently. He had analyzed the situation. Among Alex, Waltz, and Brittany, he noticed that only Brittany was a ranked fighter. Baldy assumed that she was weak and thought he could deal with her with just one hand. He wasn¡¯t worried about dealing with Alex and Waltz as he thought they probably didn¡¯t have any strength. ¡®Just these three alone were able to stir up chaos within the Rockefellers?¡¯ This made Baldy look down on the Rockefeller family even more. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Moreover, he had slept with Pepper before and treated her as his partner. As such, John naturally was his rival, and Baldy despised him. He walked over to the coffin and said, ¡°Such a big family, yet none of you are of use. Every single one of you are losers! You¡¯re being humiliated by a bunch of wimps. Get out of my way!¡± Baldy pushed John to the side roughly. He stared at Waltz, who was standing at the other side of the coffin. He looked askance, yet he was attracted to her beauty. With an evil grin, he said, ¡°Well, well. You¡¯ve caught my eye. I¡¯ll be bringing you hometer.¡± Alex gave him the side-eye. His eyes were as cold as the North Pole. Waltz, however, giggled and responded, ¡°You didn¡¯t catch my eyes, though. You¡¯re far too ugly.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Baldy fumed and grabbed the coffin cover with both hands, using his inner core¡¯s strength of the Advanced Royal fighter that he was. ¡°Up we go!¡± With a loud explosion, the long nails around the rim of the coffin ripped out instantly. As Baldy lifted the coffin cover, the Rockefellers let out a deep sigh of relief, smiling gratefully. Suddenly, Waltz mmed her palm onto the coffin cover. With another deafening thud, the coffin cover mmed shut in ce again. ¡°Ahhhh..!¡± A loud, shrill scream followed. The cover had crushed Baldy¡¯s fingers. He was extremely shocked and terrified, and even as an Advanced Royal fighter, he couldn¡¯t seem to pull his fingers out, even after he had used all of his might. The more he tugged, the more painful it became. His fingers were slowly looking more and more like minced meat. It was a horrifying, gory sight to behold. This woman, whom he assumed was weak, was, in fact, an extremely powerful and skilled fighter. She was able to crush him with just one hand. ¡°Arghhh!!! Let go! Let go of me! Who are you?!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 178 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 178 Baldy couldn¡¯t stop screaming in pain. Cold beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. The entire Rockefeller family looked immensely disappointed. Baldy hade up to them all smug and cocky, throwing harsh insults without a care in the world. They thought he was a legendary fighter, yet all he was, was a bluff. Waltz chuckled. ¡°Who am I? I am my master¡¯s special servant. If you can¡¯t even fight off a servant, how dare you think that you could stand up for someone else? Get lost! ¡± Waltz, smiling sweetly a moment ago, suddenly transformed into a psychopath and pped Baldy hard twice. She managed to knock two of his teeth out. Baldy¡¯s expression was twisted. Obviously horrified, he even spat out a small pool of blood. He didn¡¯t dare say a single word as he took a defeated nce at Pepper. With a darkened face, he prepared to retreat and leave. ¡°Who said you could go?¡± a soft voice asked from behind him. Everyone looked toward the pond. It was Alex, staring at the fishes in the pond intently just a while ago. Now looking at Baldy, his re was extremely chilling. Alex knew that Baldy was the guy who led the fleet in pursuit of his car and Michelle in it. It had sent their car flying off a bridge, and they had almost died. It would be far too generous should Alex let him off the hook so easily. However, with so many people watching, he couldn¡¯t kill this man. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Baldy red at him. ¡°I admitted defeat. What more do you want from me?¡± Alex replied, ¡°As if admitting defeat can resolve everything. If so, why else would we need thew? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already forgotten what you didst night? You may leave, only after you¡¯ve destroyed your own core.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Baldy¡¯s expressions turned grim. Pepper averted her eyes as well, her face darkened. Any ranked fighter relied mainly on their core to decide on how good they were. If one¡¯s core were to be destroyed, all the training for the past ten years would be for naught. To him, it was utterly uneptable. Just then, Baldy turned around immediately and dashed towards the exit. He knew that he would be able to escape once he got out of the gates. He didn¡¯t think that Waltz would be able to catch up to him. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s toote to escape now, my friend,¡± Alex said calmly. He reached out an arm and clenched his fists tightly as if capturing something midair. With the flick of a finger, a flow of electrifying Chi pointed toward Badly, striking him on the back like lightning. ¡°Argh..!¡± Baldy spat out another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground immediately. The rest who watched on had thought that Baldy¡¯s internal wounds were ripping apart from Waltz¡¯s previous attack. It was why he fell to the ground and started vomiting blood. They had no idea how Alex attacked him as they couldn¡¯t see the Chi¡¯s flow after all. Waltz rushed in front of Baldy and flung her leg towards him swiftly, causing him to be cast to the side. She then stomped mercilessly on Baldy¡¯s stomach. Baldy screamed out loud in pain. His face twisted tighter than it had ever done before. With just one hard stomp, his core waspletely destroyed. All his inner strength simply disappeared into thin air. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re cruel!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll seek revenge. I¡¯ll definitely seek revenge someday. You won¡¯t hear the end of this unless you kill me off right now!¡± Waltz¡¯s tone remained cold and calm. ¡°You think I don¡¯t dare to do that?¡± Alex spoke up. ¡°Waltz,e back here.¡± Alex knew that it would be troublesome if they killed anyone in the Rockefeller Manor, despite Waltz¡¯s status as one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld. Knowing Bill, he was still furious that he had nothing on them. Hence he would most definitely cling on to any opportunity given. All they could do now was to shock them a little and induce fear among them. If they really wanted to take action, they would have to wait for the right time. ¡°Secretary Kimmich!¡± Alex turned to Pepper and walked toward her. Pepper immediately panicked, stumbling back a few steps when Alex approached her. She might have been an Intermediate Royal fighter, but Baldy, an Advanced Royal rank, ended up with such a miserable fate. How could she end up any better than him? ¡°Alex, I¡¯m just Mr. Rockefeller¡¯s secretary. I don¡¯t have anything to do with your family!¡± Alex was expressionless. ¡°Oh really? I beg to differ. I think I saw you at the medicine auction yesterday. Was that you?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 179 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 179 ¡°Medicine auction? Heh, Alex, you must be mistaken. I have no knowledge of medicine at all, why would I be at some auction? I¡¯d usually just go to the hospital if I needed medicine. Why would I even dare to get some random medicine? Who knows what effects it might have?¡± Pepper smiled, denying Alex¡¯s usations. Alex returned her smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re right, who knows what effects it might have? You should know better, right, Secretary Kimmich? Remember to watch your step. You have four eyes, so you should be able to see much clearer than most of us. I hope you won¡¯t take another wrong step.¡± He then turned to John. ¡°You¡¯re a few days closer to the deadline. You¡¯d have to think this through.¡± ¡°If you refuse to return what I asked for, you probably won¡¯t be able to have this coffin opened. Forever..!¡± Alex ced his hand gently onto the coffin cover. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. With a gentle pat, the whole cover turned into pieces of wooden shards. Pepper¡¯s face had turned extremely pale, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. She was a fighter herself. Hence she knew just how powerful Alex¡¯s actions were. Even if Baldy, who was an Advanced Royal fighter, used all his might, he wouldn¡¯t be able to achieve such strength. ¡®Could it be that Alex had be a Mystic ranked fighter at such a young age?¡¯ All of the Rockefellers were appalled from seeing such a horrifying scene as well. No one dared even to breathe louder than they were supposed to. On the other hand, the four who were in the coffin couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. As soon as the cover was lifted, they started pushing each other out of the way, just so they could get out of the coffin as soon as possible. Suddenly, Olivia held on to the coffin and screamed. Her whole body trembled. The woman was unable to hold it in any longer, wetting herself. ¡°Ugh, oh my god!¡± ¡°Oh god no, ew! That¡¯s disgusting!¡± Everyone else who was still stacked under her started screaming as well. Just as Alex was about to leave with Waltz and Brittany, Bill¡¯s eyes opened wide, almost as if they were bulging out of his eye sockets. His expression was twisted, and he seemed to be going through an epilepsy attack. He couldn¡¯t stop gasping for air, unable to regte his breathing. He looked as if he was about to take hisst breath. ¡°Dad! What¡¯s wrong with dad?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t scare me!¡± ¡°Grandpa¡­¡± Alex turned around to look at them and narrowed his eyes. The old man had a cardiac arrest, barely clinging on to life. If no one gave him proper treatment immediately, all that was waiting for him was death. Waltz shook her head. ¡°Well, would you look at that? That¡¯s karma. Serves him right.¡± Brittany, however, seemed worried. She was kind-hearted. Bill had always called her a b*tch, hoping for her death, yet Brittany still treated him as a father. Bill was William¡¯s father, after all. Alex sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll help him then¡­¡± As Alex walked towards Bill, the younger Rockefellers immediately retreated and stepped aside. Noah was panicking. ¡°Alex, what are you doing? He¡¯s still your grandfather, no matter what. Are you trying to harm him? Aren¡¯t you afraid of karma?¡± Alex huffed coldly. ¡°Do I really need to harm him? If I were just to stand by and watch, he would¡¯ve died within two minutes.¡± Noah was still hesitant. Hence Alex pushed him aside and poked deep into Bill¡¯s chest. A flow of his Chi started unclogging his arteries with great speed. The old man was able to regte his breathing immediately after. He let out a long breath, and his expression rxed. Brittany¡¯s eyes lit up. This was the first time she realized that her son had abilities not of this earth. Noah was relieved upon seeing Bill and hastily said, ¡°Thank god you¡¯re here to help out, Alex. Or else the worst could¡¯ve happened.¡± He was aware that his past actions were wrong and were ashamed. However, Bill suddenly spat on Alex, ring as he yelled at him. ¡°You little pest, who do you think you are? Sending a coffin to us Rockefellers and stuffing my grandson into it too. Why don¡¯t you just kill yourself? You should die. Both you and that b*tch you call mother should die!¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Bill¡¯s reaction had Brittany staring at him in disbelief, even some of the Rockefellers were left confused. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 180 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 180 Anyone in their right mind wouldn¡¯t have said such things, all the more right after being saved. Waltz had wanted to beat Bill up right there and then but was stopped by Alex. Alex ripped off his shirt that had been soiled by the spit and threw it onto the ground. ¡°This indicates that we no longer owe you anything. We¡¯re cutting it clean with you, old man. From now on, I have no rtions to the Rockefellers. I don¡¯t owe you anything, but you do. If you didn¡¯t return what used to be my father¡¯s before the 5th of October, all of you would have to pay with your lives.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, mom!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Bill raged, yelling at him with bloodshot eyes. ¡°Well,e and take my life right here, right now! You ungrateful little pest, I will not hand you a single penny from our family! Do you really think you¡¯re a Rockefeller? Dream on! You were never my grandson, to begin with, and your father isn¡¯t even my son! Both of you are mere outsiders!¡± ¡°What?!¡± This shocked Alex and Brittany to their core. Even the Rockefellers were taken aback. John was the only one who knew that William was not Bill¡¯s son. No one else knew about this. Brittany rushed over to Bill and grabbed him by the cor, lifting him up. ¡°Are you telling the truth?¡± Olivia and the others were appalled by Brittany¡¯s strength. She seemed just like any other fragile woman, yet she was able to lift Bill up from his wheelchair. Bill replied, ¡°Why would I lie to you, b*tch? William was never my son. He¡¯s been adopted. I raised him, so it was only right for him to pay back the favor by earning money for the family. Now you¡¯re demanding it back? You don¡¯t deserve to! Think again!¡± Noah probed, ¡°Dad, are you really telling the truth? Then¡­ Then why didn¡¯t you say so back then?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Brittany let go of Bill. She seemed slightly shaken up. Waltz held her arm, supporting her as she helped Brittany stand up. ¡°No wonder¡­ So that¡®s why you never recognized his efforts, it didn¡¯t matter how hard he worked for the family. You just wanted to use him, to use us, so that you can reap the benefits from us!¡± Brittany started sobbing. Bill replied, ¡°So what if we did? I raised him. He should be grateful that I did. Earning money for us was the only way he could pay us back.¡± Brittany blinked her tears away, and she seemed more determined now. ¡°Alright then, you raised William. You can have the Rockefeller Group as repayment. We have no business with each other from now on.¡± ¡°However¡­¡± ¡°If I were ever to find out that you, or John, caused William¡¯s death, then don¡¯t me me for being cruel. I will make sure you pay for what you did!¡± Brittany then walked out of the manor, followed by Alex and Waltz. After taking ten steps forward, Alex stopped in his tracks and stared at the pond again. A few koi fish were swimming in the pond merrily. One of them was white with colorful spots. It looked quite plump as well. He remembered that William specifically brought this fish back from Japan because Alex liked fishes. It was toote, however, to show his gratitude towards his father. ¡®Dad, did you know about your true identity?¡¯ He wondered to himself. Alex snapped back into reality and said calmly, ¡°Rockefeller Group is yours. However, this manor was my birthday present. I will take it back. I don¡¯t want to see any of you still lingering around this manor by October 5th. If you refuse to listen, you¡¯ll end up just like this very floor.¡± He stomped hard on to the ground, causing the ground to shake. He then caught up to Brittany and Waltz, and the three walked out the gates together. One of the younger Rockefellers was confused and went to inspect the ground. ¡°What happened to the floor?¡± Suddenly, in the middle of the spot Alex had stomped on, a hole with a radius of 20 meters caved into the ground. The young teen screamed as he fell into the pit. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The Rockefellers remained deathly silent. On the other hand, Brittany was still extremely upset after returning to Maple Vi, hence she went straight to her room to get some rest. Waltzforted Alex. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll keep herpany.¡± ¡°Thanks¡­¡± ¡°If you¡¯re really thankful, you should give me a kiss.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 181 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 181 After staring at her intently, Alex reached his hand out, touching her soft and smooth face. Waltz smiled sweetly and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons as though she was ready to wee Alex¡¯s lips on hers. However, Alex spoke up, ¡°I know that you¡¯re trying tofort me, to help me feel better. To be honest, you¡¯re worrying too much. I¡¯ve managed to pull through worse, furthermore this isn¡¯t a big deal at all.¡± ¡°I¡¯m actually relieved that I¡¯m not rted to the Rockefellers. I wouldn¡¯t have to worry too much when I need to fightback.¡± ¡°But, being stabbed by your family in the back is the most uneptable thing, isn¡¯t it?¡± Waltz nodded gently. Their eyes met again. The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambivalent as their gazes turned hot and seductive. Waltz leaned closer to Alex, puckering up her lips. Suddenly, Alex started pinching her with the hand that he ced on her face. Puzzled, he asked, ¡°What are you doing? You¡¯re just my ve. Are you trying to take advantage and seduce your master?¡± ¡°Ow, that hurts!¡± ¡°As you should.¡± Alex smiled and let her go. He sat on the sofa and unboxed a phone. He had just bought it a while ago, since his old phone was busted after falling into the riverst night. After inputting his sim card and turning on the phone, a call came in. At first nce, it was a call from Dorothy. Alex was overjoyed. Ever since Cheryl¡¯s prank that day, Dorothy had been giving him the cold shoulder by ignoring his calls for quite a few days. Now that she¡¯s calling, Alex felt like he still had a chance to reconcile with her. He picked up the call immediately. ¡°Dorothy!¡± However, all he heard was Dorothy¡¯s crying. Alex was shocked. ¡°What happened? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I¡¯ll stand up for you.¡± Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Waltz approached Alex on tiptoe and was about to lean against his back so that she could hear their conversation too. However, Alex was taken aback Dorothy was already quite jealous after hearing Cheryl¡¯s voicest time. If Waltz were to do the same now, Dorothy might actually divorce him. On the other side of the phone, Dorothy sobbed uncontrobly. ¡°Are you okay? Did you get hurt? I saw the news that your car fell into the river. What happened?¡± Alex froze as he did not expect that his car had been dragged out of the river in such a short time, let alone ended up on the news. So, he immediately exined, ¡°I¡¯m alright. My car was stolen. F*ck whoever the bastard thief, how dare they steal my car and drive it into the river¡­ Don¡¯t cry, oh don¡¯t cry please. Where are you? I¡¯ll head over right now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m at home.¡± ¡°Okay, wait for me!¡± After hanging up the phone, only then did Alex push away Waltz. He wanted to give her a small lecture about her actions earlier, but he seemed to enjoy those touch sensations. Waltz, on the other hand, had a stern expression stered on her face. ¡°So it really was you who fell into the riverst night?¡± Alex rubbed his nose. ¡°It was just a small ident.¡± ¡°Who did it? I¡¯ll avenge you.¡± ¡°You already did. It was that bald guy a while ago.¡± After that, Alex stood up and prepared to head to Assex Vi. Waltz seemed slightly upset and said, ¡°Why are you going over to the Assexes? Why would you want a wife like Dorothy anyway? She wouldn¡¯t even let you sleep with her! She¡¯s just a dog in the manger who keeps hogging you! Why don¡¯t you just divorce her and marry me instead? I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to, I can do it in many different positions too! Do you want to try that?¡± Just as Waltz was about to crawl up to him, Alex could feel himself losing restraint. Hence, he immediately stopped her and said, ¡°Take care of my mom, I¡¯ll be off now.¡± ¡°Hmph, you are lecherous but you don¡¯t have the courage to do it!¡± In just a few moments, he reached Assex Vi. Upon entering the vi, he realized that only ire and Beatrice were in the living room but Dorothy was nowhere to be seen. Beatrice had seen Alexst night and saw that he was with the little devil from the Yowell family. That was quite a shocker to her. Hence, she felt surreal, seeing him arrive at their doorstep at this moment. ire, on the other hand, started acting like a maniac as she jumped out of her seat. ¡°Why are you in my house, you useless piece of sh*t? Are you here because you¡¯re starved and trying to beg us for food? Keep on dreaming! We don¡¯t have anything for you!¡± Alex paid no attention to her harsh words. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not going to eat any of your food. I¡¯m here for Dorothy.¡± ire took one of her slippers off and threw it at Alex. ¡°You won¡¯t get anything from Dorothy either. Get lost! Your face annoys me too much!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 182 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 182 Of course, Alex was able to dodge the slipper easily. Just then, Dorothy called out to him from the staircase on the second floor, ¡°Alex,e upstairs.¡± Just as Alex wanted to walk up the stairs, ire held him off by pulling his arm. ¡°No way! Dorothy, are you insane? How could you let this loser go up to your room? That¡¯ll ruin your reputation if this news ever gets out! How are you supposed to get married after this?¡± Dorothy replied coldly, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to repeat myself. I¡¯m already married, Alex is my husband. On the contrary, your tantrums would really ruin my reputation. What do you even want? Do you really want me to stab myself in the heart, only then you¡¯ll be satisfied?¡± Realizing that Dorothy was really mad, ire, who was livid, could only let go of Alex and yelled to the sky, ¡°Oh God, what did I do in my previous life to deserve this?!¡± Deigning to even look at her, Alex went upstairs. In fact, Alex had been in Dorothy¡¯s room in the past, but it was a long time ago. However, the decoration in her room had not changed much since then. Upon entering the room, Dorothy pounced onto Alex passionately. Alex was slightly taken aback, but he quickly matched up her passion. Since he was already quite flustered from Waltz¡¯s teases back at home, now he could finally unleash his carnal desires. The twonded on the bed as their lips tightly smashed into each other¡¯s. However, they had not realized Beatrice, who had followed Alex upstairs quietly. She opened the door gently and peeked into the room¡­ With just one look, her face started burning up as she let out a scream. Thud! Out of panic, Dorothy kicked Alex off the bed. However, her action led to Beatrice¡¯s misunderstanding of the whole situation. She thought that Alex was trying to force himself onto Dorothy, so she grabbed a nearby vase and smashed it in Alex¡¯s head. With a loud crash, the vase was smashed into pieces. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Dorothy was startled and screamed loudly, ¡°Beatrice Assex, are you crazy?!¡± She rushed to check if there were any wounds on Alex¡¯s head. It was fortunate that Alex had the Force as an automatic defense, of course, a mere vase wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt him one bit. However, he was absolutely pissed off. So, he got back up on his feet and red at Beatrice. ire, who was rmed by the noise as well, rushed up to Dorothy¡¯s room, barefooted. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What in the world happened?¡± Beatrice yelled, ¡°Rockefeller! This bastard was trying to rape Sis!¡± ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Bastard! You f*cking bastard!¡± ire was left fuming. She lunged toward Alex and wanted to give him a smack in the face, but one of her feet stepped onto the broken pieces of the porcin vase, and she immediately cried in pain. ¡°Oh no! Mom, you¡¯re bleeding so much! What do we do? What do we do?¡± ¡°Call an ambnce!¡± The two sisters fell to pieces in the midst of chaos. Alex was speechless for a while. ¡°It¡¯s just a small wound, why the fuss? I¡¯ll tend to it. Dorothy, get the first aid kit¡± In just a brief moment, Alex quickly bandaged ire¡¯s wound. However, he still had to endure another round of her insults. Even though Dorothy tried exining that it was her idea, ire just wouldn¡¯t stop scolding Alex. Alex knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to continue doing the things with Dorothy earlier, even if he stayed any longer. Hence, he decided to head back home. Unexpectedly at this moment, Madame Joanne, along with Benny, Anderson and Emma, walked into the vi. ¡°Grandma!¡± ire and the others were ashen-faced with shock upon Madame Joanne¡¯s arrival. They knew she wouldn¡¯te by for no reason. Nothing good would evere out of their arrival, especially with such threatening expressions on their faces. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 183 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 183 As soon as Madame Joanne arrogantly walked through the door, she took a quick scan of the interior of the vi, with a look of disgust and disdain on her face. Her presence was as if a great gift bestowed upon them. ire had bad-mouthed Madame Joanne behind her back many times. Upon seeing her arrival, she immediately jumped up from the sofa to give her a warm wee, despite the pain in her feet. ¡°Mom, what brings you here? Here, take a seat!¡± She held Madame Joanne¡¯s arm, guiding her to the sofa. However, Madame Joanne didn¡¯t move an inch and forcefully flung her hands away. Emma stared at them in disgust. ¡°Ugh, really? Just look at how dirty your sofa is. There¡¯s blood on the floor too! Where did that blood evene from? Could it be syphilis? How could you let her sit there? Are you trying to infect Grandma with such filthy diseases?¡± ire froze with her hands still in the mid-air. Her expression immediately turned grim as well. Both Dorothy and Beatrice were bridled with anger as they thought, ¡®What does Emma mean by that? Is she saying that the three of us are sl*ts that mess around with some random men? How could we endure such an insult?¡¯ Suddenly, a loud p could be heard. Emma¡¯s face turned to the side upon being pped hard, with one of her teeth flying out of her mouth. ¡°Ah! My new porcin teeth!¡± ¡°You jerk! You pped me again! ¡± Emma shouted as she cupped her face with one hand. The one who pped Emma was none other than Alex. After pping her, Alex sat down on the sofa and said coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t have anything nice to say, then shut up. If all you say is bullsh*t, then I¡¯ll just have to teach you basic human decency.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Just then, Alex¡¯s action had gained a rare support and praise from Beatrice, even ire was not as upset as before. ¡°Grandma!¡± Emma turned to Madame Joanne for help. Madame Joanne mmed her walking stick to the ground, ring at Alex furiously. ¡°How dare you! Who do you think you are, Alex Rockefeller? How dare you p my granddaughter out of nowhere? Do you not know how to respect elders?¡± Alex replied dismissively, ¡°My respect is earned depending on the elders themselves. If the elder is polite and humble, I¡¯d give her my utmost respect. If the elder is shameless and biased, I will not give a sh*t about her and I¡¯ll p the living hell out of her too.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Madame Joanne was so furious, to the point that her whole body started trembling. After a gentle reminder from Benny, only then did Madame Joanne calm down. Dorothy asked, ¡°Grandma, Uncle Benny and Uncle Anderson, why did youe by our ce today?¡± Anderson huffed. ¡°Is this how you treat your guests, by leaving your grandmother standing like this? Is this sense of propriety you guys are talking about? More like discourtesy and unfilial ness!¡± Dorothy felt aggrieved, yet she still took a chair out of the dining room and let Madame Joanne sit. Madame Joanne spoke up, ¡°I¡¯m here for two things.¡± Dorothy nodded. ¡°Yes, Grandma, please continue.¡± Madame Joanne said, ¡°First things first. Dorothy, I need you to find Charles Carter again. Mr. Carter is a sworn brother with Thomas Hawk from South Cali Structures. The Assexes want to sign a contract with South Cali Structures, but Stoneworks has connections with South Cali Structures too. However, if Mr. Carter were to give us a hand, Assex Constructions would surely be able to sign the contract.¡± Dorothy was taken aback and shook her head. ¡°Grandma, you overestimated me. I can¡¯t just go up to Mr. Carter and ask him for that. Moreover, Mr. Carter wouldn¡¯t go that far just for me!¡± Madame Joanne¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°You just don¡¯t want to. If Mr. Carter could help you to forge a fake contract just so you could get back the subsidiarypany in City Southst time, why wouldn¡¯t he help you this time?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 184 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 184 Dorothy was speechless as she didn¡¯t know what to say. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alex spoke up, ¡°Mr. Carter helped usst time because of me.¡± Andersonughed out loud. ¡°Because of you? You¡¯re just an abandoned kid from the Rockefellers, a loser who lives off his wife! Why would Mr. Carter help you? Everyone knows that Dorothy was just bluffingst time. Why would Mr. Carter know a loser like you? Dorothy must have given you all the credit after she signed the contract!¡± Dorothy replied, ¡°I don¡¯t have the ability to have Mr. Carter at my beck and call. It really was because of Alex.¡± Anderson cackled even louder. ¡°You do have the ability, because you¡¯re pretty! As long as you spread your legs, Mr. Carter will definitely help you. Otherwise, why were you the only one who was able to secure the contract with him when the others failed to do so? Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t let your help in vain. After signing this contract, the Assexes will give you five hundred thousand dors¡­ Five hundred thousand dors! Just think about it, not even the top rated models could earn this much in one night. It¡¯s an amazing deal just for you!¡± Dorothy trembled in anger, with her eyes reddened. ¡°You! Stop this nonsense! I didn¡¯t do anything!¡± Anderson replied, ¡°Only you know what you did. I mean, why do you care about it so much anyway? If you¡¯ve slept with him once, you might as well do it for the second time.¡± ¡°Motherf*cker! ¡± Alex, who couldn¡¯t hold his anger anymore, jumped out of his seat and grabbed Anderson by his hair, rubbing his face against the rough mat after pressing him onto the ground. Anderson¡¯s face soon began bleeding as his skin was abraded. ¡°How dare you harm me! I¡¯m your elder!¡± Anderson was livid. ¡°I ¡¯ve already warned you, haven¡¯t I? I¡¯ll beat the living sh*t out of you if a trash like you spew any bullsh*ts.¡± Two psnded on Anderson¡¯s face. ¡°You f*cker, why don¡¯t you let your wife sell her body? Why don¡¯t you let your mom or your daughter do it too?¡± Another two psnded on Anderson¡¯s face. ¡°If you dare to bullsh*t again, I¡¯ll gouge out your tongue. Don¡¯t believe me? Try your luck then!¡± Extremely angered, Alex pped Anderson till he fainted away and flung him out of the door. How could Madame Joanne endure such humiliation after watching her own son being pped by Alex? He even asked Anderson to send an olddy like her to sell her body, that was just preposterous! Joanne yelled, ¡°How dare you, you little pest!¡± Alex took a step forward and yelled back, ¡°Who are you calling names, you old hag?¡± Shocked by his anger, Madame Joanne screamed out of fear and was on the verge of copse. Benny finally exploded in anger. ¡°That¡¯s enough! She¡¯s still your grandmother, Alex Rockefeller. Have you gone mental? Do you really think no one would be able to put you in your ce? Do you think you¡¯re bulletproof huh?¡± Alex smiled coldly, ¡°You can try, I dare you. Besides, I haven¡¯t gone mental, but you¡¯re the ones who crossed the line. Putting aside Dorothy¡¯s ability to convince Mr. Carter, even if she could, she isn¡¯t obligated to help you. But, what about you guys? All you know is to spew insults, ruining her reputation. Hmph, are you guys even here to ask for help?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear anything about this. Just get on with the second thing that you have to say.¡± Madame Jo anne¡¯s eyelids twitched with anger, but she managed to calm herself down and said, ¡°Secondly, from now on, all the new material contracts of the City South branch will now be taken over by Assex Constructions. The rights to sell off the new materials in the City South branch will now be forfeited.¡± ¡°What? How could you do that?¡± Dorothy jumped up from her seat as cold sweat trickled down her forehead. That was because all the contracts that she had just signed recently were all new material contracts. She made an advance payment for the procurement of the materials, and even bet all her fortune on them. Once her rights were to be forfeited, she wouldn¡¯t be able to sell them and everything would be all for naught. Madame Joanne huffed. ¡°Why couldn¡¯t I? I can do whatever I want as long as I say so.¡± Dorothy spoke up, ¡°Grandma, you have to be reasonable. All of the contracts we have at hand at the City South branch are for the new materials. If we were to hand them over to the main branch, it¡¯s akin to forcing us to cease thepany¡¯s operations. I still have so many materials stocked up, what do I do with them?¡± Benny replied, ¡°I¡¯ll buy all of them from you at half the market price.¡± ¡®Half?¡¯ Dorothy was about to snap. If she were to sell them at half the market price, she wouldn¡¯t be able to cover her losses, even if she had to sell her body. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 185 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 185 ¡°Uncle Benny, mypany would be ruined if I were to sell the materials at half the market price! That wouldn¡¯t be able to cover the advance expense that we forked out for the materials. You¡¯re trying to ruin our lives!¡± Dorothy was in such a panic that she reared up, after all, this was all too much for her. Alex did not understand much about Assex Constructions¡¯ new materials. Although he felt sorry for his wife, he could not find any excuse to stand up for his wife. So, he could only wait and think of another way to help her. Madame Joanne smiled coldly. ¡°What does that have to do with us? Yourpany can go into shambles for all I care. Grandma wants to help you, since you¡¯re my granddaughter. If you could achieve the first request, we wouldn¡¯t take action on the second.¡± Dorothy understood their intentions now, it was a simultaneous pressure to force her into submission. Madame Joanne looked confident, knowing that she was going to get what she wanted. Benny said, ¡°Dorothy, I¡¯ll give you a day to think about this. If you don¡¯t give me an answer by this time tomorrow, I will forfeit your sales rights of the new materials at the City South branch. Just decide for your sake.¡± After that, the Assexes walked out of the vi immediately, as though they would be tainted by the contaminated air in the vi if they stayed there any longer. After walking out of the vi, Emma lent an arm to support her father, Anderson as she viciously cursed, ¡°That bastard Rockefeller! One day, I¡¯ll have him kneel before me and make his life a living hell!¡± Anderson said, ¡°I want to kill him..!¡± However, Benny shook his head. ¡°Anderson, you¡¯re at fault too. Couldn¡¯t you have kept your foul mouth shut? Saying things like that would definitely piss Dorothy off. That bastard Alex is a mad man too, he¡¯d beat anyone up as long as he has a reason to. You and Emma better stay away from him in the future.¡± Madame Joanne said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as we sign the contract with South Cali Structures, I¡¯ll avenge the both of you and make that Rockefeller brat regret his actions for life.¡± They then got into their car and drove off. Dorothy, on the other hand, helplessly flopped onto the sofa. Aggrieved, tears began streaming down her face as she bit her lower lip. However, in just a few moments, Dorothy curled up into a ball and sobbed uncontrobly. Alex was heartbroken, so he hurriedly approached her and squatted down tofort her. ¡°Dorothy, don¡¯t worry. Tell me what¡¯s with the sales rights of the new materials, we¡¯ll face this issue together.¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ire pushed Alex aside. ¡°What do you know? What good would it do even if we tell you? Get lost, this is your fault! If you hadn¡¯t beaten Emma and Anderson up, Madame Joanne wouldn¡¯t have made things difficult for Dorothy! It¡¯s all your fault, you¡¯re nothing but a bearer of bad luck! You¡¯re just here to scourge our family!¡± Alex was ticked off and wanted to shove this woman into a toilet as he thought, ¡°She looks alright, yet she¡¯s just full of sh*t.¡± ¡°ire Assex, can you just shut up for one second? All you know is to yell, what does this even have to do with Alex? He¡¯s just helping us, can¡¯t you use your brain for once?!¡± Dorothy was about to fall apart but she couldn¡¯t bear ire¡¯s nonsense anymore. ire said, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll stop, okay? Umm¡­ is it really that bad?¡± Dorothy replied, ¡°If that were to happen, we¡¯d have to sell the vi, we¡¯d be homeless.¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± ire immediately screamed. The situation was far worse than she had expected. Alex ced his hand on Dorothy¡¯s knee. ¡°Don¡¯t be so negative, you still have me, don¡¯t you? I¡¯ll help you.¡± ire yelled out of habit, ¡°I¡¯d be d if a loser like you wouldn¡¯t make things more difficult. You¡­ alright, I¡¯ll just stop talking!¡± Dorothy proceeded to exin their whole situation and the sales rights of the new materials. In fact, such construction materials could only be sold in fixed areas after getting authorization. Moreover, each area would only have one official sales agency. In California, Assex Constructions was the designated sales agency for the new materials. Besides that, it would be illegal to sell the materials without permission. Alex asked, ¡°Whichpany is the main manufacturer of the new materials?¡± Dorothy replied, ¡°Apany in California, which is owned by the Yowells.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 186 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 186 The Yowells? Alex froze a little, then let out a sigh of relief. Since it was Keith¡¯s property, whatever rule regarding the materials would be set by the Yowells. He believed that Keith would definitely help him out with such a trivial matter. Alex immediately said, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t you worry. Just leave it to me, I¡¯ll help you resolve this issue.¡± Dorothy asked, ¡°What n do you have? Are you going to beg Mr. Carter?¡± Alex smiled mysteriously. ¡°Just wait and see.¡± Throughout their conversation, Beatrice observed Alex with a puzzled look. She suddenly remembered that youthfuldy with huge busts, as known as the top-notch campus belle in California State University, Michelle Yowell. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. She immediately spoke up, ¡°Alex, I¡¯d like to talk to you. Follow me outside.¡± With that, Beatrice turned around and walked out of the vi. Dorothy and ire looked toward Beatrice in bemusement before turning their gaze to Alex. Both of them thought that something impossible had happened. After all, what could Beatrice and Alex possibly talk about in private? Even Alex was extremely puzzled, yet in the end he still followed her outside the vi. They stopped under the parasol tree in the Vi¡¯s garden. ¡°What do you want to talk about?¡± Alex shoved his hands into his pocket, standing three metres away from Beatrice. Beatrice was wearing a pair of overalls, with a white t-shirt underneath. Her legs were fair and long, to be frank, she looked quite gorgeous. At first sight, anyone would be attracted to such a beauty. However, Alex had lived in Assex Vi for more than half a year. He was way too familiar with his sister-inw. She had numerous ws just like her mother. For instance, she waszy, harsh, insulting and snobbish. No matter how pretty she was, Alex had no interest in her at all. Hence, he was grateful that Dorothy was nothing like them. Beatrice asked, ¡°Who is Michelle Yowell to you?¡± Alex chuckled coldly. ¡°So that¡¯s what you wanted to ask? Why should I tell you?¡± He then turned around, preparing to leave. Beatrice yelled, ¡°Stop right there, Alex Rockefeller! Do you even know what you¡¯re doing? Do you know who Michelle Yowell is? She has a title in California as the little devil of the Yowells. This person is cruel, she¡¯s not someone you should mess with! Why are you pursuing her when you¡¯re already married to my sister? Do you know that this would ruin your life? It might ruin ours too!¡± Alex stopped in his tracks. ¡°So you¡¯re saying I¡¯m pursuing Michelle?¡± Beatrice replied, ¡°Are you not? You must¡¯ve lured her with sweet lies! You may be able to fool her for now, but you can¡¯t fool her forever. Once she finds out your true identity someday, not only will you dig your own grave, but you will also scourge our family too!¡± Alex let out a sardonicugh. Beatrice continued, ¡°Are you going to look for Michelle? Are you trying to fool her into helping you get the sales rights of the new materials? Do you not know that you will walk right into the trap by revealing your identity to her?¡± Alex replied, ¡°You have no idea at all. Moreover, I¡¯m not pursuing Michelle.¡± ¡°Then tell me, what is your rtionship with her?¡± ¡°Rtionship huh?¡± Alex¡¯s gaze turned sharp. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you then. It¡¯s because Michelle¡¯s grandfather is about to die, and I¡¯m the only one who can save him. All the lineal descendants of the Yowell family have been diagnosed with a very serious sickness and I¡¯m the only one who can help them. Michelle almost died yesterday too, and I saved her. Are you satisfied with this answer yet?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 187 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 187 Upon listening to his words, Beatrice burst in anger as she thought, ¡®How dare he utter such nonsense?! Does he think that I, Beatrice Assex, am a dumbass?!¡¯ However, this bastard looked extremely arrogant and smug, so Beatrice couldn¡¯t hold in her fury any longer. ¡°Do you think I¡¯d believe that? Do you think you¡¯re some kind of miracle doctor? That you¡¯re a reincarnation of Hippocrates? Why don¡¯t you just say that you saved the earth, or better, the entire universe? Really¡­ Is this the dream of a loser?¡± ¡°I really dislike you, you don¡¯t deserve my sister at all. Yet my sister is just so infatuated with you, both Mom and I can¡¯t do anything about you at all! So, I hope you cane back to your senses and be down-to-earth. Don¡¯t ever hurt my sister, or even my family.¡± ¡°You can continue to be our nanny in this vi, but you have to cut ties with Michelle Yowell.¡± Beatrice said with a cold expression on her face. After letting out a sardonicugh, Alex turned around, looking toward the golden crown of the parasol tree, and said, ¡°Grasses could only look up to the parasol tree. How could themon people know the goals of a great man?¡± Beatrice understood the hidden meaning behind his words. Just as she was about to snap, Alex¡¯s phone rang. Since he just got a new phone and had not synced his contacts, so only a local number was disyed on the screen. ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± A sweet voice came from the other side of the phone. ¡°How could you not know who I am? Did you not save my number?¡± Alex recognized her voice. ¡°Michelle Yowell?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s me. Gosh, I¡¯m so pissed, you stole my first kiss! It would be treacherous if you couldn¡¯t even recognize my voice,¡± Michelle replied. Beatrice, on the other hand, frowned as soon as she heard Michelle¡¯s name. She tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she couldn¡¯t hear anything at all. All she could hear was Alex¡¯s voice. ¡°Do you have a death wish? Fine, just tell me, what do you want? I¡¯m busy you know!¡± ¡°What? Head to the Taekwondo club of California State University? For what..? I¡¯m not free.¡± ¡°Uhm, wait.. I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ll go take a look!¡± Michelle, who was on the other side of the phone, seemed to be in the Taekwondo club in California State University. She might be in trouble, hence she called Alex for help. Alex didn¡¯t want to help her initially. However, thinking about Dorothy¡¯s situation with the new materials, he decided to lend Michelle a hand. Beatrice, who was standing aside, was extremely shocked. How could Alex talk to Michelle in such a despicable tone? She thought, ¡®Damn, this jerk has some tricks up his sleeve in pursuing girls. How did he even pursue Michelle? Could it be that Michelle likes hot-tempered guys like him? That might be true. Michelle isn¡¯t a nicedy, and her temper is odd too, so there¡¯s still a possibility that she likes guys like that. I guess this loser really has a way with women. Otherwise, why would Sis be so infatuated with him? A jerk! He¡¯s such a jerk!¡¯ Alex gritted his teeth and took a nce at Beatrice, who seemed annoyed, before heading back into Assex Vi. He turned to Dorothy and said, ¡°Dorothy, I got caught in something, and I have to go out for a bit. Don¡¯t worry about thepany¡¯s situation, I¡¯ll deal with it for you.¡± ire said, ¡°Don¡¯t make things worse, just go back into the kitchen and cook us a meal.¡± Without the maid, ire was unable to get anything good down her stomach for the past few days since she didn¡¯t know how to cook at all and she was sick of ordering takeouts. Alex stared at ire for three seconds and folded his arms behind his back, exiting the vi. ¡°He¡­ What an ungrateful loser! What attitude was that? I¡¯m his mother-inw, for god¡¯s sake! Who on earth would treat his mother-inw like this?¡± ¡°Mom, just order takeouts!¡± Dorothy suggested. ¡°I won¡¯t order takeouts! I¡¯m not going to eat them, I¡¯ll barf as soon as I smell them!¡± ire buffed as she watched Beatrice walk in. ¡°Beatrice, go make us something to eat. You cook better than I do.¡± Beatrice took a nce at Dorothy and hurriedly said, ¡°I need to go to school, I just remembered that I have something to do.¡± *** N?velDrama.Org owns this. At this moment, the Taekwondo club in California State University was teeming with people. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 188 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 188 At this time of the year, California State University was already closed for holidays but lots of students stayed back at the university, especially the seniors and club members. As for the top-notch and extremely popr campus belle, Michelle, as soon as the news of her challenging someone spread, it immediately led arge crowd. There were quite a few outsiders in the crowd as well. Wham! On the half-meter high stage, a young teen with a mohawk, was sent flying off the stage with just one kick from his opponent, falling hard onto the ground. It was fortunate that the stage was surrounded by soft mats, hence he didn¡¯t end up injured. Loud cheers and ps echoed through the clubhouse. The young teen with a mohawk gloomily walked up to a youthfuldy with huge busts, who had a stern expression stered on her face. ¡°Sorry, Ms. Yowell, I was no match for him.¡± The winner on the stage, who was a young man with long hair, pointed toward Michelle. He stared at her mockingly and said, ¡°Michelle Yowell, didn¡¯t you im that you¡¯re the best fighter in California? What now, are you chickening out? Are you scared of fighting me up here? Or are you on your period that you can¡¯t even walk properly? Hahaha!¡± With the young man¡¯s arrogantughter, many in the crowd started gossiping as well¡­ ¡°This Michelle Yowell girl always acts all high and mighty. I guess she just puts up a bold front, but in reality she¡¯s just a weak girl.¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Right? Everyone knows she¡¯s the best fighter in California State University. Looks like she bribed some students to spread such lies. Look at her, I bet the rest of the Yowells aren¡¯t any better too.¡± ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s just a ssic bully, picking on the weak but avoiding the strong. She puts on an ostentatious act whenever she beats a weakling. To be frank, who couldn¡¯t beat someone weaker? Now that a strong opponent shows up, she¡¯s just sending her club member up there, avoiding all confrontation on her own. Such a person¡­ Hrnph! And, they even call her the campus belle!¡± Voices filled with disgust and disdain drowned Michelle¡¯s senses. With her hot temper, she managed to hold up well and had not vomited blood yet due to anger. However, she really had no choice. After all, she vomited blood just yesterday and almost died after falling into a river. She also had to spar with one of her club members earlier too, which caused the recurrence of her injury and her vomiting blood again. Helpless, she had to ask for Alex¡¯s help. Her right hand men couldn¡¯t stand by and watch, so they shouted, ¡°What are you so cocky about? Ms. Yowell is hurt and vomited blood earlier, that¡¯s why she can¡¯t fight you now. If you really want a fair fight, you shoulde back in a month.¡± Upon hearing these words,ughter and mockeries roared inside the hall. The long haired guy, who was still on stage, cackled. ¡°Hurt and vomited blood? Did you really vomit blood, or you just bled down there? Vomit some blood for us now then! We¡¯ll only believe you after you do!¡± ¡°Or you coulde up here and prostrate before me, and give me three hard knocks to the ground to show your allegiance. From now on, your Devil Coven will belong to my Green Dragons. How about that?¡± Michelle¡¯s face turned grim. As the little devil of the Yowells, she had never experienced such humiliation. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll fight you! ¡± With that, she walked up the stage. At this moment, Alex finally arrived at California State University by cab. However, it was his first timeing to California State University, so he was not familiar with the ce at all, let alone found the Taekwondo club. Moreover, the university was fairly quiet and empty, he couldn¡¯t even find a living soul to ask for directions. Just then, he noticed a group of three guys and two girls rushing off to some ce. So, he hurriedly caught up to them and asked, ¡°Hello, excuse me, how can I get to the Taekwondo club?¡± An elegant and tall girl quickly scanned Alex up and down and said with a cold expression, ¡°You¡¯re not a student here, are you?¡± ¡°Uhm, no. I¡¯m here to look for Michelle Yowell.¡± ¡°You¡¯re here to look for Ms. Yowell? Do you know her?¡± One of the guys replied. Alex replied, ¡°Kind of!¡± The guy smiled. ¡°I guess you¡¯re here on ount of her reputation, to watch Devil Coven defeat Green Dragons! Okay, follow us, we¡¯re from Devil Coven.¡± A girl with chubby cheeks pointed at the tall girl. ¡°She¡¯s Annalise Henderson, the second best fighter in Devil Coven, whereas Ms. Yowell is the best fighter. We¡¯re going to the clubhouse now, so you can tag along!¡± Annalise shot a dissatisfied re at the chubby-faced girl and huffed. ¡°Come on, stop the idle chatter and get walking!¡± She then nced at Alex. ¡°All you need to do is follow us, just don¡¯ t be talkative.¡± Alex rubbed his nose. ¡°Oh, alright.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 189 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 189 Alex followed the five in the back and listened in on their conversation. ¡°Sis Henderson, I heard the president of Green Dragons, Trevor Newman, was the one who challenged us. He even brought a skilled fighter along this time. I wonder if Ms. Yowell can handle them,¡± one of the guys said worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Newman is just all talk. He looks impressive but he¡¯s just a weakling. He couldn¡¯t even beat mest time, let alone Michelle. He has no chance against her,¡± Annalise said confidently. ¡°But I heard Newman went for a special training for a duration of three months!¡± ¡°You guys might not understand martial art even if I were to exin it to you. Three months? Even if he has trained for three years, he¡¯s still no match for Michelle, and can¡¯t even beat me. That¡¯s because both Michelle and I are experts in inner force after intensive training.¡± ¡°So, it¡¯s really because of inner force? Then, aren¡¯t you guys as strong as Shooriyojou?¡± ¡°Besides, Sis Henderson, you¡¯re so gorgeous. You really do have the simr elegance as Shooriyojou. I wish I was your Condor Hero!¡± Another guy ttered. Annalise replied, ¡°I¡¯m no Shooriyojou, but my inner force may be almost as strong as hers.¡± Alex couldn¡¯t hold in hisughter and let out a chuckle. In fact, from his point of view, Annalise was no more than a Beginner- Royal ranked fighter. Her inner force was no stronger than his mother, Brittany. Yet she was here, bragging her strength. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Annalise turned around and red at him. Alex immediately replied, ¡°Oh, nothing¡­¡± ¡°Hmph..!¡± It was clear that Annalise was an egoistic person and hard to be befriended. While trying to suppress hisughter, Alex curiously asked the girl with chubby cheeks and dimples, ¡°What¡¯s Devil Coven, and what¡¯s Green Dragons?¡± The girl was shocked. ¡°You don¡¯t even know them? Looks like you really don¡¯t know much about our club president. Devil Coven is a club that we started, with Ms. Yowell as the club president. As for Green Dragons, they¡¯re a club from Technology and Business University. Both our clubs have been at each other¡¯s throats for the longest time, especially after Trevor Newman bullied one of our club members, and that was how we became rivals.¡± Annalise scolded again, ¡°Prisci Paytas! Can¡¯t you just keep your mouth shut?¡± Prisci Paytas was the girl with chubby cheeks. She stuck her tongue out at Alex and shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she could not say anything more. However, she protested timidly and said, ¡°Sis Henderson, this isn¡¯t a secret anyway. He would know about this once he asks anyone else in school.¡± Annalise huffed coldly again. In just a few minutes, they finally reached the Taekwondo club. Alex was taken aback by therge crowd. He thought there would be tens of people inside, but he did not expect that the clubhouse was filled with people, blocking the entrancepletely. At first nce, there were definitely more than a thousand people here. Suddenly, someone yelled out loud, ¡°Annalise Henderson of Devil Coven has arrived! Everyone, hurry and make way for her!¡± Upon hearing those words, the whole crowd started gossiping, some even cheered loudly. ¡°Annalise Henderson is here! She¡¯s the second best fighter of Devil Coven! Hurry and make way!¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°With Annalise here, Devil Coven couldn¡¯t possibly lose, right?¡± Alex noticed that Annalise held her head up, with a pleasurable look on her face as though she were satisfied with such praises. As they walked into the clubhouse, Prisci pulled Alex¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Follow behind me, or else you won¡¯t be able to get in.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Alex nodded as he stared at her intently. Prisci didn¡¯t have a tall figure and elegance like Annalise, yet her pinkish chubby cheeks made her unique. She was adorable, her face looked like a full moon with a hint of sakura petals. Just then, the crowd started screaming loudly, Alex turned to the stage. Michelle, who was wearing a white uniform, kicked her opponent away. However, she started vomiting blood with a pale face, kneeling on the ground. Everyone gasped loudly, especially the Devil Coven members. All of them had shocked expressions stered on their faces. However, the long haired guy, Trevor Newman, waspletely fine. He walked up to Michelle and stared down at her. ¡°Michelle Yowell, didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re strong? Why did you get defeated so quickly? I had you vomiting blood with just one punch. Looks like you¡¯re no match for me either.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 190 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 190 While sping her chest in pain, Michelle coughed up blood and couldn¡¯t answer at all. Meanwhile, Trevor scanned the crowd and yelled, ¡°Hey, everyone in Devil Coven and California State University, did you see that? Michelle Yowell, the one you im as queen, is now kneeling before me, Trevor Newman from Green Dragons! Do you guys yield?¡± Alex frowned. He could tell that Michelle had acted recklessly again by using her inner force, resulting in the recurrence of her injury. If it was not treated in time, it could leave serious repercussions on her health. When the time came, she might not be able to recoverpletely, even with his help. However, just as he was about to give Michelle a hand, the members of Devil Coven rushed up the stage and helped her get down. Annalise and the others rushed to her and asked about the situation. Only then did they realize that Michelle had been wounded before the fight. Annalise huffed. ¡°I¡¯ll take him down.¡± Michelle replied, ¡°Be careful, Newman¡¯s strength has improved quite a lot.¡± Annalise nodded and went up to the stage. Alex didn¡¯t care about the fight onstage, he knew he must immediately tend to Michelle¡¯s wounds. Just as he took a step forward, Prisci hurriedly pulled him back and whispered, ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t go over there, Ms. Yowell has a bad temper and she¡¯s hurt now.¡± Alex smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m here for her in the first ce.¡± Prisci, not knowing whether tough or to cry at his silliness, said, ¡°Dude, please don¡¯t cause any trouble for me. I¡¯m begging you, just stand here and watch the fight Don¡¯t move a muscle.¡± Just then, Michelle noticed Alex and hurriedly waved at him. ¡°You! Oh my god, you¡¯re finally here! Come here quick, I¡¯m dying in pain!¡± Huh? This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Prisci froze, with her mouth agape. She looked at Alex, then turned to Michelle as she thought, ¡°Why does it feel like I¡¯ve done something stupid?¡± The members of Devil Coven next to Michelle also looked at Alex in bewilderment as they thought, ¡°Who is this guy?¡± Alex winked at Prisci and said, ¡°See? I didn¡¯t lie to you, I really know Michelle.¡± He then walked over to Michelle with furrowed eyebrows. ¡°Were you trying to end your life because it¡¯s not long to begin with?¡± Michelle grimaced in pain, with blood still dripping off of her chin. She grabbed Alex¡¯s hand and pressed it against her chest. ¡°Quick, touch me now! Come on! I can¡¯t stand it anymore! I can¡¯t!¡± What? Everyone else nearby was astonished by such a scene, with their eyes widened. What had just happened? Their queen, their best fighter, was now cing a man¡¯s hand on her¡­ Ahem. Asking someone to touch that body part was atrocious, everyone just couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. Prisci was left tongue-tied, with her mouth agape. Yet, she came up with a theory that Alex might be Michelle¡¯s boyfriend. Alex shook his head and sighed. However, he then pressed his hand on Michelle¡¯s heart and channelled his Chi to cepression on the wound. After that, he used the electrical acupuncture to heal her. Her wound was able to heal up pretty well in just a brief moment. Suddenly, the crowd screamed again, the members of Devil Coven gasped in shock as well. Annalise had been kicked out of the stage, she lost! Trevorughed. ¡°How was that? Devil Coven, your two best fighters have lost to me! Why aren¡¯t you guys admitting defeat yet? What are you waiting for?¡± ¡°Michelle Yowell, do you yield?¡± ¡°All of you from Devil Coven are just a bunch of useless weaklings!¡± Michelle was fuming, she was about to rush up stage to fight him again but Alex stopped her. He waved at Prisci. ¡°You¡¯re Prisci Paytas, right? Do you trust me?¡± Prisci nodded and responded with a hum. Alex replied, ¡°Alright!¡± He grabbed her hands and channelled a special form of Chi. After letting her hands go in just three seconds, he pped her hands gently and said, ¡°Now go up there and beat him up.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 191 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 191 Upon hearing Alex¡¯s words, everyone widened their eyes, as if they had just hallucinated. Prisci had always been a nobody in Devil Coven, she was just a side character. They only asked her to join the club because she looked like a pushover, so they could order her around to run errands for them, just like a ve. However, it must be a joke for sending a nobody like her onstage to defeat Trevor. After all, anyone bulkier in California State University could defeat Prisci in a sh! Prisci was stunned as well, she hurriedly waved her hands in denial. ¡°I, I¡­ I can¡¯t do that! I can¡¯t fight onstage, let alone defeat him. How could I possibly go up there and fight him when Sis Henderson lost to him too?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll believe me? Trust me, you will definitely win the fight. Annalise lost, but that doesn¡¯t mean you will too. Go on, you can do it.¡± Everyone from Devil Coven stared at Alex with a puzzled look on their faces, thinking that he was insane. Just then, Annalise, who limped over with the help of some club members, scoffed, ¡°Prisci Paytas is weak, she can¡¯t even defeat me even if I just used a finger. Having her onstage is akin to leading her to her demise.¡± While speaking, Annalise sized Alex up thoroughly. When they were walking to the clubhouse earlier, Annalise paid no attention to him at all. Only now did this outsider catch her attention after his intimate rtionship with Michelle was revealed. However, no matter how she looked at him, the man was just way too average. She could not sense anything out of ordinary about the man. Michelle was appalled too, so she asked Alex, ¡°Hey, what are you up to? Prisci can¡¯t fight at all, she¡¯s just an errand girl.¡± The little devil¡¯s personality was just as blunt as can be. Anyone else wouldn¡¯t be so blunt, especially in front of the person that they were talking about. However, she did not care about that. Prisci¡¯s face flushed, her eyes were filled with a hint of determination. Clenching her teeth, she said, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go up there.¡± She didn¡¯t want to be looked down upon by Annalise and Michelle any longer. Their words had pierced her heart, those scornful stares from the rest of Devil Coven had her struggling for the longest time. Worse came to worst, she would be beaten up but that was not a big deal. Alex smiled, as if he were praising her. ¡°That¡¯s right, go up there. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal after you defeat him.¡± Prisci nodded her head profusely. ¡°I trust you.¡± With that, she walked up to the stage without any hesitation. The members of Devil Coven were shocked, with their mouth agape. Narrowing her eyes, Annalise stared at Prisci and huffed. She shook her head and thought, ¡°What an idiot. Does she really think she¡¯s some blessed child? If you want to go up there and suffer, then so be it.¡± Michelle, however, was unsure about her doubts. After all, she had seen Alex¡¯s unworldly powers. She believed that Alex had something up his sleeve, but she just couldn¡¯t figure it out. She also wanted to see how Prisci could defeat Trevor, hence she didn¡¯t utter a word to stop her. Just then, the whole clubhouse was heated, because lots of students in the university recognized Prisci. Shocked, they eximed. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t that Prisci Paytas? A nobody in Devil Coven, I think she¡¯s an errand girl.¡± ¡°What is she doing up there? To clean up?¡± ¡°She¡¯s probably there to wipe off the blood. There are blood stains on the stage, isn¡¯t there?¡± ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s why.¡± Everyone sounded like they had just solved a mystery. Trevor heard the audiences¡¯ chatters as well. So, he took a nce at Prisci before taking a few steps back and said, ¡°You¡¯re here to wipe the blood right? Do it quickly then, get off the stage immediately after you¡¯re done.¡± Prisci gulped, she was very nervous. After all, she did not give up and run away after mustering up the courage. After stepping foot on the stage, she did a ridiculous stance. It was Chuck Norris¡¯s ssic stance in the movies! She spoke up, ¡°I, I¡¯m not here to wipe up the blood. I¡¯m, I¡¯m here to fight you!¡± Huh? What? Everyone in the hall burst intoughter. Trevor paused for a brief moment. ¡°Who are you? Are you from Devil Coven too?¡±N?velDrama.Org owns this. Prisci nodded. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right I¡¯m Prici Paytas from Devil Coven.¡± Her voice slowly trailed off, as if she was mumbling to herself. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of anyone called Prisci Paytas. What makes you think that you can challenge me? What¡¯s your rank on Devil Coven¡¯s leaderboard?¡± ¡°I rank, this.¡± Prisci reached a finger out, it was her pinky. Her expression was slightly goofy as well. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 192 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 192 ¡°How dare you fool around?!¡± Trevor was fuming as he thought that was Devil Coven¡¯s scheme, by sending some nobody to the stage, or trying to stall for some time. He lunged at Prisci and swung a p toward her. Trevor wanted to put the useless trash¡¯s lights out with a p, in order to show the power and majesty of the president of Green Dragons. ¡°Ah!¡± Prisci screamed and blocked it with her hands instinctively. A flow of Chi gushed out of her body. Smack! Trevor¡¯s pnded on Prisci¡¯s wrists. Just then, Trevor suddenly felt an extremely powerful and numbing flow of energy rushing toward him. Wham! Trevor¡¯s whole body flew high over the stage¡¯s rails and fell hard to the ground, with his long hair standing straight up on his head. His whole body was trembling, with his mouth agape as though a mist of ck miasmaing out of his mouth. Everyone in the hall fell silent due to shock, they couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. Michelle widened her eyes as well, staring in disbelief. Annalise¡¯s eyes widened, with her mouth agape, she could not believe it at all as she watched the scene unfolded. Even Prisci herself was appalled. She just closed her eyes and blocked his p. However, just as she opened her eyes, she realized that Trevor was gone, he was now off the stage. She rushed to the side of the stage and asked timidly, ¡°Why¡­ why are you down there?¡± Barf! Trevor vomited a pool of blood and lost consciousness. Prisci Paytas versus Trevor Newman. Prisci won! The members of Devil Coven were shocked, some even had their palms on their foreheads. No one could describe their feelings at that moment. Michelle turned to Alex. ¡°What have you done to her?¡± Alex smiled. Suddenly, a loud huff came from the crowd. Everyone was startled by the huff as their hearts raced wildly in fear. This was a phenomenon due to the burst of inner force, which could terrorize others with the power of a voice. Soon after, a man in his thirties with immense aura jumped onto the stage. ¡°You, how dare you hurt my disciple! Chop off one of your hands right now and get lost!¡± The man red coldly at Prisci. Prisci trembled in fear due to the man¡¯s terrifying stare, she couldn¡¯t say a word at all. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. More importantly, the Chi that Alex had channelled into her body was depleted since that was just a one time use of Chi. If they were to fight now, Prisci would be in grave danger. Alex took a cold nce at the man onstage, extremely infuriated. Even though the man was just an Advanced-Royal ranked fighter, he darede to the university campus and got involved with their club fights. Alex thought that this man was nothing but shameful. ¡°That¡¯s your call.¡± Alex turned to Michelle and said, ¡°Substitute Prisci and go up there.¡± Michelle was startled. ¡°I¡¯m not fully healed yet. If I use my inner force now, I¡¯d¡­¡± Alex interrupted, ¡°You¡¯re cured.¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± ¡°Try it out.¡± Michelle tried activating her Chi. It would seem that the immense pain in her heart had disappeared, she was so relieved that she wanted to cheer out loud. ¡°Haha! I am really cured! I knew it, I¡¯ll be cured as long as you touch me! Alright then, since you have cured me with your touch, I won¡¯t haggle about my first kiss that was stolen by youst night,¡± Michelle said loudly and screamed as she charged for the stage. However, Alex was red at by multiple pairs of eyes. Some thought, ¡®This jerk, how dare he steal Michelle¡¯s first kiss! Oh my god, this brute!¡¯ Within the crowd were Beatrice¡¯s eyes, she had been watching their interactions the whole time. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 193 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 193 Thud! Under the crowd¡¯s gasps, Michelle leaped over the rails andnded on the stage. As Michellended on the stage, the bouncy movements of her huge busts awed everyone, widening their eyes, especially the male students, they were even more jealous of Alex upon seeing such a view. Michelle grabbed Prisci and shifted her to the back. She red at the arrogant middle-aged man and said, ¡°I¡¯m your opponent now!¡± Prisci dared not stay on the stage any longer. Hence, she hurriedly ran off, holding her hands together, terrified. Alex patted her on her shoulder and smiled warmly. ¡°You did great, I told you that you¡¯d win.¡± ¡°Did¡­ I really win?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Many people, who were standing aside, stared at Prisci and rolled their eyes. Annalise frowned and stared at Prisci, she couldn¡¯t understand the sudden burst of her ability at all. She then came to a conclusion that Trevor went off the deep end from overworking his powers. She couldn¡¯t think of any other way that Prisci was able to defeat Trevor. However, never did she think that Alex was the wirepuller and helped her win. After all, that was completely out of her thinking box, she couldn¡¯t possiblye to that conclusion unless she had gone mad. At this moment, the man on the stage stared at Michelle¡¯s chest. He looked fairly eager and said, ¡°You¡¯re Michelle Yowell? You really are packing huh? You can¡¯t even beat my disciple, are you sure you want to fight me, young girl? How about this, I¡¯ll give you a great offer. Admit defeat and be mine for three days, then I¡¯ll let you go.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Such words not only caused an uproar within Devil Coven, but the students of California State University were enraged too. This was a school and they were still students. However, this old man strutted around as if he ruled the campus, and even wanted the top-notch campus belle to sleep with him for three days. This was absolutely atrocious and immoral. Even Alex red at him with murderous intent. However, after analyzing the man, Alex was able to sense something. The man on the stage had strong Chi, but it was gloomy and dark Even the man¡¯s eyes were filled with evil and lust as he continued staring at Michelle. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°A shadowman!¡± Alex was startled upon identifying the man¡¯s identity. Furthermore, this shadowman was the lowest of the low, who was specialized in stealing Yin from women. Since Michelle practiced Slunce Jauda, her Yin was strong. That was the reason that the man had his eyes on her. In the next second, Michelle attacked the man immediately. She was hot-tempered after all, how could she endure such humiliation by a disgusting man? Moreover, anger had been welled up inside her for quite a while but she could not find a way to vent it. So, this man was the perfect punching bag. ¡°Die!¡± Michelle jumped into mid air and spun vigorously, focusing all the energy of Slunce Jauda onto her legs. She then flung her legs toward the evil, lustful man. The man, on the other hand, was there to watch her battle with Trevor. He thought that her skills were no match for him, hence, he decided to block her attack with just one hand. However, just from this impact, his arm was almost fractured. Her inner force that was filled with Slunce Jauda flowed out of her meridians, converting into a powerful energy. The man was shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back. Witnessing such a wild and enjoyable performance, the crowd was uplifted. Everyone started eximing, they were amazed by Michelle¡¯s skills. The members of Devil Coven screamed and cheered loudly for Michelle as well. Meanwhile, the members of Green Dragons were ashen-faced, staring in disbelief. The man on stage was Steven Musker, he was indeed Trevor¡¯s master. He contributed much to Trevor¡¯s improvement in martial arts, by several levels in such a short time. Yet, a powerful man like him retreated after being struck by Michelle. The crowd thought, ¡°How did she do it?¡± However, Steven looked even more excited than before, as if his interest toward Michelle grew with the increasing headstrongness in Michelle. When the time came, stealing her Yin would be better than those that he had collected from dozens of TBU students recently. ¡°Ha!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s end this, youngdy!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 194 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 194 Steven smiled slyly and roared. He was supplemented with the sudden burst of odd, evil inner force inside his body as red shes flickered in his eyes. Just as Michelle was about to strike him with her palm, he countered her attack with his as well. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Bang! A loud explosion echoed through the hall. Steven had a condensed special energy hidden in his palm, prating into Michelle¡¯s meridians. It was his most powerful skill as a shadowman, a skill with the effect of seduction. Hence, he didn¡¯t care at all that Michelle knocked him back with a palm strike, because he knew he would win in the end. He even snapped his fingers and said, ¡°Stop!¡± However, his all-winning skill lost its effect today. Michelle lunged at him with extremely fierce and sharp movements. She flung a leg up and hit his head hard. ¡°What?¡± Bam! Steven fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back and fainted. As his consciousness started fading, onest thought appeared in his mind. ¡°How could this be?¡± He didn¡¯t know that Alex had left a flow of his Chi in Michelle as well. Alex¡¯s Chi from the Force mostly came from his ancestor¡¯s celestial breath. The Chi had a lightning element and healing properties, it was to help him learn the basics of The Ultimate Book of Medicine. At the same time, it had a great advantage in exorcising evil spirits and corrupted energy. Steven¡¯s seduction power was extinguished as soon as it entered Michelle¡¯s body, hence the effect was invalid. With just one kick, the oue was determined! Everyone from Devil Coven cheered out loud. The rest of California State University pped loudly as well. Michelle had turned the tables around, she went from vomiting blood to staring down at Trevor, who was off the stage. With a sweet baby-like voice, she said, ¡°Trevor Newman, I, Michelle Yowell, will protect California State University! If you dare to bully anyone from our university again, I¡¯ll make sure to terminate everyone from Green Dragons!¡± Thunderous ps followed afterwards. Many students started chanting, ¡°Get out of California State University!¡± Someone yelled, ¡°Green Dragons? More like Green Pests! You guys don¡¯t have the skills nor morals! How dare you ask an old gangster to bully our students. Look at you now! You lost, huh? All hail Devil Coven! All hail Michelle Yowell!¡± Loud and enthusiastic cheers echoed in the clubhouse. At this moment, even Beatrice, who was standing in the crowd, stared at Michelle with admiration. Her eyes glistened with excitement. Even though she was just a powerless, feminine maiden, she still dreamed of bing a hero or fighter. She wanted to be a just and empowering martial art master too. The dust settled, the members of Green Dragons retreated gloomily. Michelle jumped off the stage and approached Alex, folding her arms behind her back. Her prideful yet gorgeous expression stunned everyone in the hall. ¡°How did I do?¡± She asked proudly. ¡°So so!¡± Alex said, ¡°But you have to beware of that old man, he¡¯s a dangerous fellow.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve beaten him, so why should I be afraid of him? He should fear me instead!¡± Michelle replied dismissively. Alex couldn¡¯t tell exactly the threats that Steven had up his sleeve. After all, he wasn¡¯t an all-knowing god, he had never seen Steven¡¯s seduction powers too. Hence, he couldn¡¯t give an opinion on it and just nodded. ¡°You did good!¡± He then continued, ¡°Are you busyter? I have something to ask of you, let¡¯s get something to eat together then?¡± ¡°Sure¡­¡± Michelle was extremely popr in California State University. She had to greet quite a few people before leaving. However, Alex had promised to treat Prisci to a meal, so he invited her along. Michelle invited Annalise along as well. As they were still choosing the location of the eatery, a girl rushed up to them and called out to Alex, ¡°Brother-inw!¡± In that instant, Alex froze. Never did he expect that Beatrice came to the imiversity too. Most surprisingly of all, Beatrice called him brother-inw, so he thought that she might have gone mad. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 195 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 195 ¡°The bourgeois campus belle, Beatrice Assex?¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­¡± Both Annalise and Prisci stared at Beatrice in disbelief, they then turned to Alex. Based on their observation, they perceived that Alex was Michelle¡¯s boyfriend. Why else would they be touching and kissing? They thought that Michelle would snap and beat Alex up, even Beatrice thought so. She referred to Alex as her brother-inw just to expose Alex¡¯s identity. She wanted to tell Michelle that he was a married man, who was ying with her feelings. From what she knew of Michelle, she would definitely beat him up. However, to her demise, nothing happened at all. Michelle was slightly surprised as she said, ¡°Beatrice Assex, you¡¯re Alex¡¯s sister-inw? You should have said so sooner! If someone troubles you in the university, you can mention my name and I¡¯ll protect you.¡± ¡°What?¡± The threedies were appalled with her words as they thought, ¡°What¡¯s happening here? Your boyfriend is someone else¡¯s brother-inw. How could you not get mad at all? Could it be that you..? Like being a homewrecker?¡± Alex indifferently took a nce at Beatrice, he knew what she was up to with just one look. He asked, ¡°Do you need something?¡± Beatrice¡¯s mouth was agape, yet no words coulde out. The events unfolded in a way that was beyond her expectation. She was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t answer his question, all she could do was freeze in ce.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Alex said, ¡°You should go home as quickly as possible if you don¡¯t need anything. Your sister must be working to her core. You have nothing to do all daylong, yet you don¡¯t even help out at home. Your mom can¡¯t cook, then you should learn to do so. Go home! Oh, and mind your mouth, don¡¯t you dare spew nonsense. Or else¡­ Hmph!¡± Everyone at the scene was dead silent, especially Annalise and Prisci, they wondered if their ears were malfunctioning. Why else would such a ridiculous thing happen right in front of their eyes? Michelle suggested, ¡°Beatrice, we¡¯re going to go somewhere outside for a meal. Do you want toe with us?¡± Before Beatrice could reply, Alex said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. No appetite for the meal if we were to eat together.¡± Michelle froze, as she wasn¡¯t sure if he was talking about himself or Beatrice. However, she didn¡¯t mind at all. After waving at Beatrice to bid farewell, she turned to Alex and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then. I bought you a car, it¡¯s parked in the east parking lot. Go take a look If you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll buy you another one.¡± Alex nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Annalise, who couldn¡¯t bear watching them acting lovey-dovey any further, thought, ¡°Who even is this Alex guy?¡± She hated such people, he should be grateful that she had not beaten him up yet. Annalise spoke up, ¡°Michelle, are you out of your mind? Did he drug you? What do you even like about this useless trash? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to eat with him at the same table. I¡¯ll be off now, take care.¡± She then turned around and left immediately. Prisci blinked her eyes innocently and said, ¡°Uhm, Ms. Yowell. I just remembered that l have some things to tend to. My mom told me to eat dinner at home too, so I¡¯ll go home now. You guys can¡­ Yeah!¡± She left as well. Alex watched Prisci¡¯s back as she walked away and shook his head gently. The girl was a little special. When Alex channelled his special Chi into her body, he had realized something unique within her, she had the extremely rare Kyuhelios Pulse. People with such a rare pulse would be able to practice the Yowell¡¯s Slunce Jauda with less effort and multiplying results. If he were to give her a hand, her future in the realm of martial arts would be boundless. Hence, he wanted to bring Prisci to Yowell Manor and ask for Keith¡¯s permission to let her train in their martial art. However, now that she¡¯s gone, Alex couldn¡¯t help her. Watching Alex and Michelle left together, Beatrice was extremely upset, clenching her teeth. Never did she expect that Michelle would be such a b*tch and did not care about her boyfriend being a married man. She secretly thought, ¡®Alex Rockefeller is the worst. How dare he pursue other girls behind Sis¡¯ back?¡¯ However, did she even have the courage to tell her sister about it? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 196 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 196 She was afraid that she might not be able to survive university if she were to expose them. When they reached the parking lot, Alex realized that Michelle was giving him a red Aston Martin. Its cool structure was quite trendy, but it wasn¡¯t designed to drive through potholes easily. ¡°Sorry, I couldn¡¯t get the M8 you wanted. There are none of them left in California right now. You can take this first and I¡¯ll get you the M8 after it¡¯s stocked up.¡± ¡®Look at her, how generous.¡¯ She was able to buy a luxurious car that cost hundreds of thousands just like that, as if she was simply buying a balloon. ¡°Alright!¡± Alex wasn¡¯t picky with cars. They headed to a spicy stew restaurant. Michelle was surprised. ¡°You wanted to treat me to this?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I was initially going to treat Prisci, but she went home. Let¡¯s just order something simple.¡± ¡°Are you trying to pursue Prisci? I can help you, you know? I¡¯ll have her in your bed in just a few days.¡± Alex hit Michelle on her forehead with chopsticks. ¡°Do I look like that kind of person? I have a wife!¡± Alex wasn¡¯t interested in her nonsense and said, ¡°I have something to ask you. Does your family own this new material from Thousand Leaves?¡± Michelle thought about it and nodded. ¡°Yeah, I think so. Why do you ask?¡± Alex exined the whole situation to her. Michelle thumped her chest and said, ¡°That¡¯s easy, I¡¯ll just make a call and have someone send a permit now! How dare that Assex Constructionpany bully your wife? I¡¯ll forfeit their permit for that, I just need to say the word.¡± Alex shook his head after putting in some thought. The Assexes were still Dorothy¡¯s family. If he were to agree to this, the Assexes would be restless about it. The olddy would definitely rush to ire¡¯s ce like a maniac and yell at him. He would have to show them mercy this time. Michelle immediately made a call. Their employees were very efficient as well. In just thirty minutes, a middle-aged man arrived with a document pouch. Michelle pointed towards Alex. ¡°Hand it to him, he¡¯s Alex Rockefeller, Grandpa¡¯s VIP. If he ever asks you for something, you¡¯re obliged to follow his orders, got it?¡± This man was Jack Trent, the general manager of Thousand Leaves, and thus an employee of the Yowells as well. With Michelle¡¯s words, he gave Alex his utmost respect and handed him the document. He then pulled out a card, smiling widely. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, this is my business card. If you need anything, just give me a call. I¡¯ve met Ms. Assex from Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company too. She¡¯s very responsible and capable. This permit will allow you to sell our new material throughout the country, you won¡¯t be limited to just one area.¡± Alex smiled and took the document. ¡°Thanks.¡± He took a nce at the left side of Jack¡¯s waist and asked, ¡°Mr. Trent, have you been experiencing back pain?¡± Jack was taken aback, he didn¡¯t expect Alex to ask such a question. ¡°How did you know, Mr. Rockefeller? It¡¯s nothing really, I must¡¯ve been cooped up in my office, sitting for long hours must have caused me back pain. It¡¯s an upational disease, but it¡¯s not much of a bother to me.¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°Mr. Trent, that¡¯s not any normal back pain. You have kidney stones. Think about it, it¡¯s not just the back, right? Haven¡¯t you been feeling nauseous and vomitingtely? Your urine most likely has a slight tint of red too. Your kidney stone is getting pretty bad.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jack remembered that his urine was definitely light red this morning. Alex said, ¡°Come here.¡± Jack froze again. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Michelle furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°Jack Trent, just do as he says. He¡¯s the master of California¡¯s miracle doctor, a legendary doctor himself! You¡¯re very lucky to have him diagnose you.¡± Jack¡¯s mouth fell agape, he couldn¡¯t believe it at all. Suddenly, a woman startedughing and spoke sarcastically. ¡°The master of California¡¯s miracle doctor? A legendary doctor himself? What a joke! If he¡¯s a legendary doctor, then I¡¯d be St Mary.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 197 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 197 The woman who spoke up was sitting behind Alex and seemed to be in her thirties. She overheard their conversation since she was sitting so close by. She had been listening to them since Michelle said she¡¯d have Prisci in Alex¡¯s bed. She absolutely despised the two, and even wanted to call the cops on them. It was a relief that Alex turned down the offer. Later on, she heard them talking about Thousand Leaves, saying that they¡¯d be able to get the permit with just a word. Upon listening to this, she almost spat out her spicy stew. She just so happened to know about Thousand Leaves. Her husband sold building materials too, though he was just a small distributor working under the California franchise. She knew that Thousand Leaves was owned by the Yowells, one of the four richest families in California. Thepany was also well advertised. Her husband distributed hundreds of different brands of building materials, yet Thousand Leaves contributed seventy percent of their sales. How could that youngdy say that she¡¯d be able to get the sales permit from such a famous brand with one word? This was clearly a joke. What¡¯s more appalling was that she started bluffing that the young man was the master of California¡¯s miracle doctor. Michelle rolled her eyes and red at the woman. ¡°Who the heck are you?¡± The womanughed again. ¡°I¡¯m St. Mary!¡± They had already caught the attention of all the customers who startedughing at them as well.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What the f*ck Are you looking for a fight, b*tch?¡± Michelle said as she mmed the table, she was ready to p. Alex held her hand down. ¡°Why are you so triggered? They¡¯ll just have to see it for themselves. Why would a nobody¡¯s words anger the Yowell diva? That just goes to show your ws. You have to start learning how to control your emotions. It would benefit your health greatly.¡± Michelle sat back down though her eyes still gave out a re. However, that woman wouldn¡¯t stop taunting. ¡°You tried to p me? Just look at yourself! Even going as far as calling her the Yowell diva, what a f*cking bluff! Don¡¯t tell me your sorry *ss is from one of the four richest families, the Yowells. You wish! Why would a Yowelle to such a shabby ce to eat spicy stew? Is your life just based on such lies? If you¡¯re a Yowell, then I¡¯m the queen of the United Nations!¡± Just then, the woman was pped hard across the face. It was Jack Trent. His expression was darkened. ¡°How dare you insult the youngdy? Do you have a death wish?¡± After being pped, the woman fumed and screamed like a maniac. But she was outnumbered as they had three people from their side. She said, ¡°You¡¯re dead meat for pping me! Don¡¯t you dare run, you bunch of liars!¡± She rushed out to call for help. Alex and the others didn¡¯t care at all. Alex turned to Jack and said, ¡°Mr. Trent, your kidney stones are worsening. If you don¡¯t take them out, the stones would damage your kidneys permanently and they wouldn¡¯t function normally anymore. It would damage your urinary system too. Come here and I¡¯ll treat it for you. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll only take a minute.¡± Jack¡¯s eyelids twitched lightly. He took a few nces at Michelle as he was starting to doubt Alex¡¯s identity as well. If Michelle weren¡¯t here, he would¡¯ve exploded¡­ ¡®He said it was a bad case of kidney stone, yet now he¡¯s saying that he can cure me in just a minute. Does he really think he¡¯s some kind of god?¡¯ Moreover, he didn¡¯t believe it when Michelle said that Alex was the master of California¡¯s miracle doctor. Suddenly, a young man stepped up andughed. ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t take this anymore! I really had tough for at least a minute! Hey dude, I¡¯m not making fun of you, but I really can¡¯t hold in myughter anymore. Kidney stones aren¡¯t that easy to cure. A minute? You must be joking, really!¡± Jack said, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, well¡­ uhm, I¡¯ll just go to the hospital!¡± Michelle gave Jack a light kick on his thigh. ¡°Go, let Alex cure you. If it¡¯s something he can do in a minute, then why bother going to the hospital? Besides, we can help this guy broaden his horizons and shut him up.¡± Jack didn¡¯t know how to refuse Michelle, so he walked up to Alex determinedly. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 198 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 198 Alex had only suggested curing him since Jack helped him out. He smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Trent, it takes fate to save someone. If you really have doubts, it¡¯s alright. You can always go to a hospital for a check up. You have to be quick though, your kidney stone is situated in a very bad position, it might lead to other infections.¡± Everyone couldn¡¯t help butugh again. ¡®You didn¡¯t use ultrasounds or X-rays, you didn¡¯t even check his pulse. How could you know that the kidney stone was in a bad spot? Do you have X-ray vision?¡¯ This time, Michelle¡¯s eyes widened as well. She crossed her arms across her chest in doubt. ¡°Alex, do you have X-ray vision?¡± Alex ignored her. Suddenly, Jack spoke up. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I believe in you¡­¡± He wasn¡¯t using a surgical knife anyway, so Jack knew that it would be worth a try. Alex didn¡¯t say anything more and ced his hand on the lesion, inserting his Chi into his body. By creating a vibrating energy, he was able to crush Jack¡¯s kidney stones into pieces through the skin. He was even able to force it out of his kidneys into his intestines. Alex then retrieved his hand a minuteter. ¡°Okay, now tell me, does your back still hurt?¡± Jack touched his back, twisting his waist as well, he eximed excitedly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore! I feel so much better now. So, I really did get kidney stones! Mr. Rockefeller, you really are a legendary doctor, you¡¯re literally Hippocrates reborn! To think I doubted you just now, I¡¯m so sorry.¡± The young man blew a noodle out of his nostrils from choking. He spoke up. ¡°Oh please, at least make it realistic! Your act is just too much. Do you really think you¡¯re making some kind of drama?¡± Jack replied, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller really cured my kidney stones just now.¡± The young man waved dismissively, ¡°Fine, whatever, I lost, okay? Continue acting all you want.¡± Suddenly, a group of men barged into the restaurant. The leader was buff, wearing a top with short sleeves. His arms were covered with tiger tattoos as well. ¡°Who in the f*ck pped my wife? Come out here this instant!¡± It would seem that he was that woman¡¯s husband. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Before Jack could step forward, the woman rushed to them and pointed at him. ¡°It was him! These three lying losers! iming that he¡¯s the master of California¡¯s miracle doctor, and calling her a Yowell! What a joke! Just go look at yourselves in the mirror! The oldest one was the one who pped me! Hubby, make him regret it! p him a hundred times or something!¡± The man scowled. ¡°Okay, stand aside. I¡¯ ll seek revenge for you. You motherf*cker, how dare you p my wife? Who gave you the per¡­ Uhm¡­¡± Suddenly, his words trailed off. His eyes widened. mouth agape. The woman gave him a light nudge. ¡°Hubby, why are you just standing there? Beat him, beat up this damn loser!¡± The man swung his arm and pped a face. However, he didn¡¯t p Jack, but his wife instead. ¡°Are you mad? I told you to p him! Why are you pping me?¡± The women fumed. Another pnded on the woman¡¯s face. The man said, ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± The man kneeled with a thud before them with a bitter expression. ¡°Mr. Trent, Ms. Yowell, my wife didn¡¯t know any better and offended you greatly. I¡¯m sorry, I sincerely apologize for her. I¡¯m truly sorry.¡± He then proceeded to p himself multiple times. Everyone in the restaurant fell silent. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 199 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 199 The young man who choked on his noodles fell off his seat butt first. ¡°Ms. Yowell, the California diva? Is this true?¡± Someone took out their phone secretly and searched for the California Diva. Lots of photos and results popped up. Michelle had always kept a high profile and didn¡¯t care for the paparazzis. The Yowells didn¡¯t do anything about it as well, they just let her be. So, it was fairly easy to look her up. Suddenly, someone screamed¡­ ¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s true! She really is Ms. Yowell, Michelle Yowell!¡± ¡°So, it is true! Ms. Yowell actually came to my restaurant to eat spicy stew. I¡­ I wonder if I could get a picture with her?¡± ¡°Mister, are you blind? Look at her, she¡¯s fuming. Why would you even ask for a photo now?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. After the man had pped himself more than ten times, Jack spoke up. ¡°Do you know me?¡± The man nodded. Jack asked another question, ¡°Who are you?¡± This put the man in a difficult position. His building material store was one of the smaller distributors of Thousand Leaves. Which was why he was familiar with Thousand Leaves, he even had their brochures. This was how he knew about Jack. However, if he were to reveal his identity now, Thousand Leaves could possibly forfeit his selling license and he would sustain a great loss. But, he didn¡¯t dare lie in front of the Yowell Diva. He had to tell the truth. Jack nodded and looked at the woman with a swollen face filled with fear. ¡°Just go, and keep an eye on your wife. If she dares to offend the youngdy again, you¡¯ll die a horrible death.¡± The man was overjoyed, he didn¡¯t expect Jack to let him off so easily. He immediately gave him a few kowtows and left. He didn¡¯t know that they were as insignificant as ants to Jack. Jack didn¡¯t want to have someone grove! in public for such a small matter. If he let them off easily, then this family would be indebted to him, and consequently lead them to work harder for theirpany. Moreover, it would benefit Thousand Leaves and the Yowells¡¯ reputation. Just then, the young man crawled back up on his feet and stared at Alex. ¡°So, you¡¯re really a legendary doctor?¡± ¡®Surely, Ms. Yowell wouldn¡¯t make up such lies out of boredom?¡¯ Alex took a few nces at him. Although he had made fun of him, his words didn¡¯t cross any boundaries and he was quite humorous too. Moreover, Alex had looked into his Chi and realized that the man was ill. If he were to waste any more time, the young man would be in grave danger. With a good heart, Alex said, ¡°Have you been experiencing headaches? Does your head feel heavy and you sometimes ck out? The young man froze. ¡°How did you know that?¡± Michelle said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say so earlier? He¡¯s the master of California¡¯s miracle doctor. Why would I lie to a nobody like you?¡± The young man was appalled. ¡°But¡­ this¡­ this is just ridiculous! Dr. Coney is almost in his eighties. He looks like he could be Dr. Coney¡¯s grandson, how could he be his master?¡± Alex didn¡¯t want to use James¡¯ reputation as well, he waved dismissively. ¡°Michelle, stop telling others that I¡¯m Dr. Coney¡¯s master! I just taught him an acupuncture method, it¡¯s nothing really! Young man, there¡¯s a tumor in your brain. If you go to a hospital now, you may have a chance at surviving. If you keep stalling time, no one would be able to save you. It¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m full now, let¡¯s go!¡± Suddenly, the young man turned gloomy. ¡°So you really are a legendary doctor. You¡¯re right, I do have a tumor in my brain.¡± The store owner of the spicy stew restaurant was surprised. ¡°Huh? Luke, you have a brain tumor? What happened?¡± Apparently, they all knew each other. Luke smiled bitterly. ¡°Well, Mr. Dex, it is what it is.¡± ¡°Then shouldn¡¯t you go to the hospital now? What are you waiting for?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 200 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 200 ¡°Do you really think I want to wait? The surgery fee is at least half a million dors. And there are risks to the surgery as well, it¡¯s a fifty-fifty gamble. I might not be able to survive the surgery. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know the condition of my family. If something were to happen to me, my mom and sister would be done for. It¡¯s alright, no more talking, I¡¯ll be off now. I have lots of parcels to deliver at noon.¡± The store owner sighed, his eyes filled with sympathy. Looks like this was yet another tragedy. ¡°Hold on!¡± Alex spoke up. ¡°Do you trust me?¡± The young man paused for three seconds and smiled as he nodded. ¡°I do. As Ms. Yowell¡¯s friend, you wouldn¡¯t have the leisure to trick a poor lowly guy like me.¡± Alex stood up. ¡°Believe me, and I¡¯ll show you the light.¡± He walked over and took a finger out, cing it an inch above the young man¡¯s temples. That was where the tumor was, underneath his skull. Just then, Alex¡¯s finger shone like a jade, as if there was electricity surrounding it. He pressed on the young man¡¯s head gently. Michelle and Jack widened their eyes. Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they were still appalled. This was an actual tumor that might mutate at any point. What was Alex even doing? Was he going to use such a method to help remove the tumor? Putting the uracy of locating the tumor aside, how¡­? How would he even remove it? This looked like a big joke. However, they didn¡¯t know that the Ultimate Book of Medicine was not from the mortal realm. The Force¡¯s healing Chi was powerful, able to cure many illnesses. Besides, Alex researched the book out of fun and realized that this medical book was made for many different types of martial arts practitioners. The best part was that it could help regrow limbs and recollect souls. This was literally a god¡¯s power. A small tumor was nothingpared to that. It was just caused by clogged blood vessels. ¡°Ah!¡± The young man screamed. Everyone in the restaurant was startled, thinking that something bad had happened. The young man struggled to shake Alex¡¯s finger off. However, Alex¡¯s finger was attached to his head, he couldn¡¯t get out of its touch at all. To prevent the man from moving around, Alex restricted him with his other hand and ordered sternly. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Someone couldn¡¯t bear watching him any longer and tried stopping him. ¡°Hey, do you even know your stuff? What are you doing? Can¡¯t you see he¡¯s in pain? Are you trying to kill him?¡± ¡°Yeah! Stop that now! Or I¡¯m going to call the cops!¡± ¡°What the f* ck, what kind of person are you? Why would we need hospitals if you could cure his tumor with just a poke?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Just as someone pulled out their phone to call the cops, Alex let go of the young man and smiled. ¡°Alright, your tumor is gone.¡± The young man wiped the sweat off of his forehead as he was drenched in cold sweat from the pain he had just experienced. Since he forced the removal of the tumor, it was only natural that the process was painful to endure. ¡°Really?¡± The man seemed doubtful. Everyone couldn¡¯t believe it, not even Michelle. Alex said, ¡°You can go to the hospital for a check up.¡± Someone came up to check on the young man. ¡°I think there¡¯s a wound here. Look, it¡¯s a bruise! Let¡¯s go to the hospital now, he might have made things worse! I think there¡¯s a hospital nearby, you can get a check up there.¡± Someone else turned to Alex. ¡°You can¡¯t leave. If something happens, you have to take responsibility.¡± Alex smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 201 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 201 When they arrived at the hospital for a check up, the female doctor recognized the young man. She said in a stern and concerned tone, ¡°Luke, your tumor can¡¯t wait any longer. It¡¯s growing in a precarious spot. There¡¯s still a chance that you could be cured. However, if you stall any more time, the tumor would grow. Then that would be a bigger problem, you know that, right?¡± The young man was Luke Hiddleston. ¡°Dr. Patricia, quick! I¡¯d like to have a check up! Can you check if my tumor is still there?¡± The doctor froze. ¡°If it¡¯s still there? Why would it disappear for no reason?¡± One of the guys pointed at Alex, smiling. ¡°Doctor, you just don¡¯t know. This man is a legendary doctor, he can cure any sickness. Even the California miracle doctor refers to him as his master. This legendary doctor poked his head and the tumor went poof! Gone!¡± His tone and expression was sarcastic, as if he was telling the world¡¯s biggest joke. He wanted to see Alex humiliated. As expected, Dr. Patricia was annoyed. ¡°Luke, you must¡¯ve been scammed! I guess there are lots of bad people in this world. Oh Luke, you¡¯re a university graduate, how are you still so childish? How could you believe such a tant lie? If you can poke a tumor away, then I could st the moon down with one fart!¡± After saying this, she realized she had been slightly vulgar with her words. Michelle said, ¡°Just give him a check up. What¡¯s the use of talking so much?¡± Dr. Patricia huffed. ¡°Alright then! Once I expose your lie, I¡¯ll call the cops.¡± Half an hourter, the results came in. Dr. Patricia stared at the results for quite a while, she furrowed her eyebrows. ¡°That¡¯s weird. Why can¡¯t I see it anymore? It should be here, was there a mistake?¡± Luke was overwhelmed. ¡°Dr. Patricia, how is it? Is it still there?¡± Dr. Patricia shook her head and said, ¡°Well, I can¡¯t see it on the scan anymore, but there¡¯s just no way!¡± With a loud thud, Luke kneeled before Alex and sobbed uncontrobly. ¡°You¡¯re a miracle, you really are a miracle! Thank you, thank you so much! You¡¯re my saviour, you saved my whole family!¡± He didn¡¯t know how else to express how grateful he was towards Alex. This scene made Alex reminisce about the past. He remembered how helpless he was when his mother was still in aa. ¡°Get up, you don¡¯t have to thank me this much. Please live a great life from now on.¡± Alex didn¡¯t stay any longer, he just left the hospital with Michelle and Jack. Luke had wanted to thank him with money, but Alex refused to ept it. He could tell that Luke was filial, despite his family¡¯s condition. After Alex and the others had left, the group started discussing about them. Dr. Patricia was sure that Luke had a brain tumor, she even gave him two body checkups. It was impossible for it to just disappear into thin air. She decided to give Luke a full body checkup again. The results were the same, there was no tumor. Luke was so excited that he immediately went on his social media to post about Alex, telling his story. It was unfortunate that he didn¡¯t take a photo of him. However, with just his simple post, everyone on his social media was overjoyed. ¡°Alex, would you like to go home with me?¡± Michelle invited Alex in front of Jack. Jack was now more respectful towards Alex. As someone who could just go in and out of the Yowell Manor as they please, he knew that Alex was not someone he could afford to offend. Moreover, he was able to witness Alex¡¯s unworldly skills. He admired him wholeheartedly. He, too, decided to get a full body checkup at a hospital, especially for his kidneys. Besides, he felt as if he would be the biggest third wheel in history if he stayed, so he excused himself. Alex turned to Michelle. ¡°Have you collected everything I asked of you?¡± Michelle nodded. ¡°Almost, there¡¯s still one herb on its way from North Tokyo. I think it¡¯ll arrive tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright, call me when it arrives.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. Then, he drove off in the Aston Martin to Assex Vi. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 202 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 202 The door opened and Alex walked into the vi on his own. Unexpectedly, the living room waspletely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his usual room. There was a bathroom attached. He flung the bathroom door open and froze. There was someone inside of the bathroom, Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad on her underwear. Their eyes met. Beatrice was surprised too. After freezing in ce for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. ¡°Rockefeller, you jerk! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. ¡°Hey, I didn¡®t mean to! I didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that ire hade home. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Hearing Beatrice¡¯s screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily, ¡°Hey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Don¡¯t you dare run, I need an exnation here.¡± Beatrice came running, crying. ¡°Mom, this bastard saw my private parts!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ire lifted an arm to p Alex, screaming. ¡°You really are a bastard! Beatrice is your sister-inw! How dare you molest her? I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± As a man, he knew he was unable to reason with them in this situation. So, he just let ire¡¯s p happen. But when ire wanted to p him again, he dodged and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be mad, this is all just a misunderstanding. I wanted to use the toilet, but Beatrice was in there. How could I know that she was in the restroom downstairs? She didn¡¯t even lock the door!¡± Beatrice was fuming. ¡°This is my house, I can be wherever I want! And it¡¯s my choice whether to lock the doors or not. You don¡¯t even live here.¡± She was still mad about what happened in school earlier. Now, she wanted to kill Alex if she could. Alex replied, ¡°Fine then, I¡¯ll apologize, okay? I didn¡¯t mean it, and I just saw a ck bush, I didn¡¯t see anything else!¡± ¡®ck bush?¡¯ Beatrice was going to explode from anger. Alex knew that he would never be able to reason with them. He found a chance and ran out the door. ¡®F*ck, what luckI have!¡¯ ¡®These two will probablyin to Dorothyter!¡¯ As expected, he received a call from Dorothy before he got back to Maple Vi. Dorothy wasn¡¯t a madwoman like ire. ¡°Did you get into an argument with my sister again? This time¡¯s worse, she said you molested her. What happened?¡± Alex immediately exined everything to Dorothy. After listening to him, Dorothy was still slightly ufortable with what happened. However, Alex was not to me for it, so she changed the topic. She talked about the selling rights of Thousand Leaves. Alex said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have the selling permit in hand. You don¡¯t have to feel threatened by the old lady again.¡± A day passed quickly. The next morning, Joanne, Anderson and Emma arrived at the Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company. At that same moment, a client came by to get their purchases. Anderson yelled. ¡°Stop right there!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 203 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 203 Anderson rushed up to the client and pushed a worker who was moving boxes aside with full force. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The worker lost bnce and fell to the ground, along with the materials in the box. The box almost crushed his feet too. ¡°What the f¡­¡± The worker was enraged and was about to yell at them. However, looked up and realized that it was the CEO of Assex Constructions, Anderson Assex, who pushed him. Behind Anderson was Joanne and six guards in uniforms. He immediately kept his mouth shut and swallowed his anger. After multiple ps from Alex, Anderson¡¯s face was swollen. Even now, his teeth were still hurting from the impact. His anger had welled up in his chest and he couldn¡¯t wait to release all of it at the subsidiary company. He grabbed the worker by his cor and said angrily, ¡°What? Are you trying to curse at me? Look at yourself. Do you want to get fired?¡± The young worker didn¡¯t dare to fight back. ¡°No, no! I didn¡¯t curse!¡± Dorothy had given him a higher wage, so he really didn¡¯t want to get fired. Anderson huffed and let him go with a smug look. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± He then yelled out loud. ¡°Everyone, stop! Stop what you¡¯re doing right now! Stop moving the new materials from Thousand Leaves!¡± ¡®What?¡¯ The client was shocked, he rushed up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why can¡¯t they move these? Ourpany needs these materials forter, we can¡¯t afford to waste any time.¡± Anderson said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care what yourpany is. Don¡¯t you dare take any of these materials today.¡± The man was enraged by the insult. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? We signed a contract. Are you trying to breach the contract? I don¡¯t care, I will be taking these materials now! Boys, get to work!¡± Suddenly, Anderson pped the man hard across his face. The client fumed and lunged towards Anderson, ready to fight. However, Anderson had the help of multiple security guards. The client lost and was pinned to the ground. Anderson kicked the client arrogantly and chuckled. ¡°Hey kiddo, how¡¯s that for a change, huh? You don¡¯t even have what it takes to fight me. Throw him out!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Dorothy rushed over as soon as she heard the news. Following behind her was Alex. Alex predicted that the Assexes woulde by thepany to cause a disturbance. So, he contacted Dorothy earlier and arrived at thepany together. Dorothy was infuriated when she saw her client getting beaten up and thrown out. ¡°Uncle Anderson, you¡¯ve crossed the line! How could you beat him up and throw him out? Why are you doing this?¡± Anderson noticed that Alex was standing behind Dorothy, and backed away instinctively. Emma spoke up. ¡°Why are we doing this? You¡¯re really asking why my dad is doing this? We¡¯re here to drive out the thieves! My dad made it clear that no one can take any of the materials here, yet he insisted on doing so! How is he not a thief, then? Is he a thug? Why should we be nice to a thug, then?¡± Dorothy was about to snap. ¡°Let me make it clear for you. This is mypany now. Uncle Anderson, what makes you think you can do as you please here?¡± Suddenly, the olddy scolded her. ¡°Dorothy Assex, how dare you! How dare you speak to your uncle like that? Have you no respect for your elder?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 204 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 204 Dorothy didn¡¯t know what to say, ¡°Grandma, I¡­¡± The olddy continued. ¡°And who said Anderson doesn¡¯t have the right to give orders? What are these materials anyway? Aren¡¯t they the new materials from Thousand Leaves? We had forfeited your company¡¯s right to sell them, yet you¡¯re still trying to. This is illegal, do you want to end up in jail?¡± Emma smiled smugly. ¡°That¡¯s right, Dorothy. I must say, you have quite the balls. You dare sell the new materials from Thousand Leaves without a permit. This is literally smuggling. I¡¯ve contacted Mr. Roberts from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. He¡¯ll be here at any moment to inspect your company.¡± ¡°What?¡± Dorothy was scared and angry. They were family, yet Emma went overboard. She wanted to ruin her life! ¡°Grandma, did you approve of this too?¡± Dorothy turned to the olddy. Joanne¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Dorothy, Grandma had already given you a chance yesterday, but you didn¡¯t listen to my advice. I¡¯m truly disappointed. However, before Mr. Roberts arrives, I¡¯m willing to give you another chance. Go help Assex Constructions sign the contract with South Cali Structures. You know what to do. Or else, prepare to go to jail!¡± The color drained from Dorothy¡¯s face and her whole body started trembling. It wasn¡¯t due to the threat of jail, but Joanne¡¯s actions. ¡®We¡¯re still blood rtives, how could you be so cruel?¡¯ ¡°Grandma, I really can¡¯t do what you ask of me. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not willing to, I really don¡¯t have the ability for that.¡± Dorothy said sadly, her eyes turning red. ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± The olddy said with a cold smile and turned around,pletely ignoring Dorothy¡¯s sobs. Emma smiled coldly, overjoyed to see Dorothy like this. She could already see Dorothy getting locked in a jail cell. Alex walked over to Dorothy and wiped her tears gently. His voice was gentle and soft. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, don¡¯t cry. We can get through anything, it¡¯s just that we can no longer go back in time. Since they decided to cross the line, then we should turn the tables around.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. Dorothy understood what Alex meant. She looked at the olddy¡¯s back. Joanne was merciless. Dorothy nodded to Alex. Emma smiled despicably. ¡°Still trying to act tough? Dorothy, do you know what I hate about you? You¡¯re always acting like a damsel in distress. You¡¯re the b*tchiest person ever, yet you¡¯re acting as if you¡¯re a pure and innocent young girl. You married this loser for more than half a year, yet you wouldn¡¯t even let him sleep with you! You must be making yourself open to second choices. You¡¯ve already decided to remarry, you just don¡¯t have any options right now.¡± ¡°And you, Alex Rockefeller, I pity you.¡± ¡°Back then, your dad was the CEO of apany that was worth 300 billion. Now look at you! You¡¯re a disappointment! If your dad knew how you ve away for those three women. Oh, if he just knew how you became aplete loser, having to endure the beating and scolding every single day; if he knew you had to kneel before them and act as if everything¡¯s fine, he wouldn¡¯t be able to rest in peace.¡± Dorothy¡¯s face became pale, she didn¡¯t know how to fight back. Alex held Dorothy¡¯s hand and shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re wrong, Emma. You don¡¯t know anything about true love, you have no idea how great it is. Back then, I couldn¡¯t bear the weight, I was depressed, I gave her misery. Yet she waited for me, and she¡¯s still waiting for me, even now. I¡¯ll be protecting her from now on. I would crush anyone who dares to hurt her. I would not show mercy for those who hurt my wife.¡± Emma cackled. ¡°This must be the funniest joke I¡¯ve heard this year! What makes you think a loser like you can make such bluffs? Try getting through today, genius! You might need to protect her from going to jail now.¡± Just then, two cars arrived at the entrance. A few men in suits got out. Anderson rushed up to them. ¡°Mr. Roberts, you¡¯re finally here! Come this way and take a look. They¡¯re illegally trading-they¡¯ve been caught red-handed doing so! Please arrest Dorothy Assex and close this company down.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 205 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 205 Dorothy initially wanted to believe them. They were family and her father was Grandma¡¯s biological son after all. However, as she watched the business cars drive in, her beliefs and hopes were crushed in an instant. ¡®Police cars might show up next!¡¯ ¡®Heh, what irony.¡¯ Mr. Roberts¡¯ full name was Marshall Roberts. He greeted Joanne with a smile as soon as he got out of the car. The Assexes weren¡¯t the most powerful family in California, but they were still fairly well known. Marshall signalled his underlings with a wave. His underlings checked the materials in the storage and reported back to him. ¡°All the materials are indeed from Thousand Leaves.¡± Marshall nodded and turned to Dorothy. ¡°Ms. Assex, I¡¯ve received a report that yourpany is selling materials from the famous Thousand Leaves of California. However, this requires a permit from Thousand Leaves, or the regional distributing Anderson and Emma watched Dorothy excitedly. Even the olddy looked on smugly. Sending Dorothy to jail was nothing to Joanne. She despised how Dorothy teamed up with an outsider to steal the subsidiarypany in City South. To her, this was an absolute disrespect to her and the family. She didn¡¯t need such an ungrateful granddaughter. Suddenly, Alex took out a document and handed it to Marshall. The Assexes¡¯ smiles faded and their expressions froze. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be a permit, right?¡± Marshall looked at the document thoroughly and realized that it really was a permit from Thousand Leaves. Although he had the heart to help Joanne, he was a public official. He couldn¡¯t afford to be biased at times like these unless he wanted to get fired. ¡°Let me have a look! ¡± The olddy snatched the document out of Marshall¡¯s hands. Joanne¡¯s face turned pale. If this was a permit from Assex Constructions, she would be able to dismiss it with a random excuse. However, this permit was from the main branch of Thousand Leaves. Anderson and Emma rushed over to check the document out as well. With just one look, they were shocked too. After a short pause, Emma screamed. ¡°No way, there¡¯s just no way! This must be fake. Thousand Leaves would only give permits to one main distributor for every state. And Assex Constructions is the main distributor of California! This document must be a fake!¡± Anderson¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You¡¯re right, it must be a fake! Dorothy, you really do have some guts. To think you¡¯d make a fake permit! You¡¯re done for! Be ready for jail!¡± He said as he tore the document into pieces. Dorothy screamed. ¡°Uncle Anderson, how could you destroy our permit?¡± Anderson smiled coldly. ¡°Permit? This is literally a fake document. You must¡¯ve forged the stamp on the permit too. Dorothy Assex, Alex Rockefeller, you¡¯ve really got some guts. Are you happy now? You¡¯ve dug your own grave. Mr. Roberts, this is enough evidence to arrest them, right?¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Marshall nodded. ¡°Yes, Thousand Leaves do indeed provide just one permit for each state. This permit must be fake. Ms. Assex, please follow us to give your statement.¡± Dorothy looked towards Alex in panic ¡°I didn¡¯t forge it. It¡¯s real.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 206 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 206 ¡°That¡¯s right. This document is real. Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally signed it and passed it to me,¡± Alex Rockefeller said. Joanne spat in Alex¡¯s face. ¡°Who do you think you are? You¡¯re just a useless shut-in. Why would Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves personally sign and send a document to you? That¡¯s the biggest lie I¡¯ve ever heard,¡± Joanne said. ¡°Alright. We¡¯ll eventually find out if he¡¯s telling the truth or not. The police will be involved when the time comes. For now, we must temporarily shut Assex City South Subsidiary Company down. My apologies, Ms. Assex,¡± Marshall Roberts said. However, Dorothy Assex¡¯s new secretary came running in. ¡°Ms. Assex, Mr. Trent from Thousand Leaves is here,¡± she said. Dorothy was stunned. Emma Assex, on the other hand, startedughing loudly. ¡°Mr. Trent must have found out that you forged the authorization letter and came to demand an apology. Dorothy, are you still in denial?¡± Dorothy was actually feeling very nervous, but Alex held her soft hands to calm her down. Soon, Jack Trent arrived. When Anderson Assex saw Jack, he immediately greeted the man with a warm smile on his face. Anderson knew that Jack was backed by the Yowell family who was a hundred times more powerful than the Assex family. ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr. Trent. It¡¯s my pleasure to meet you here. You must be here because of Dorothy¡¯s nasty forgery of the permit. She really did go too far. Fortunately, I have already tom the document,¡± Anderson said with a smile. Jack looked shocked. The document had been torn? What was going on? However, Jack wasn¡¯t in the mood to think about it. He circled past Anderson and quickly walked up to Alex and Dorothy with a smile on his face. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, Ms. Rockefeller, I apologize for showing up without an invitation, ¡± Jack said humbly. Suddenly, Anderson¡¯s body tensed up. He was in disbelief. Joanne couldn¡¯t believe what she was seeing. Her eyes were wide with surprise. ¡°Impossible. How is this possible?¡± Emma mumbled to herself. ¡°Mr. Trent, you¡¯re here at the right time. These people suspect that I forged the document from yesterday, they even tore it apart. Mr. Marshall here even wanted to shut down my wife¡¯spany just now. But there are so many employees that rely on thepany for an ie. They have mouths to feed. What would they do if thepany shut down? That¡¯s why you must help exin things to Mr. Marshall over here,¡± Alex said with a smile. When Marshall saw how Jack greeted Alex, he was already dumbfounded. Marshall¡¯s heart was beating wildly. Even he wouldn¡¯t dare get in trouble with someone from the Yowell family. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Marshall started cursing Anderson for setting him up. ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Mr. Marshall. You look as good as ever! But I really did personally sign the permit. It¡¯s a binding agreement. We, Thousand Leaves, have a working rtionship with Ms. Assex¡¯spany,¡± Jack said calmly. Marshall¡¯s expression froze momentarily. ¡°To be honest, I believed the document was real when I saw it. Unfortunately, Anderson over here tore it apart. I was only asking Ms. Assex to exin things clearly,¡± Marshall said. ¡°I see,¡± Jack murmured. ¡°That¡¯s exactly what happened. But now that you¡¯ve personally shown up and exined things, Mr. Trent, it¡¯s all clear now. It¡¯s merely a misunderstanding¡­ In that case, I shall leave to deal with other business. Farewell,¡± Marshall said quickly. ¡°Farewell, Mr. Marshall.¡± Jack nodded. Jack immediately red at Anderson coldly. ¡°Why did you tear the permit I signed for Ms. Assex on behalf of Thousand Leaves? You have to give me a reasonable exnation,¡± he said. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 207 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 207 ¡®What¡¯s going on here?¡¯ ¡®Did Jack Trent actually sign a contract with this b*tch, Lady Dorothy Assex? Why? How could this happen?¡¯ ¡®What did Lady Dorothy do to Jack? Could she have slept with himst night?¡¯ All these thoughts running through Anderson Assex¡¯s mind made him feel as if he would soon have an emotional breakdown. When he looked at Lady Dorothy Assex, his eyes were filled with hatred. He felt that the only way Lady Dorothy could have convinced Jack to do what he did was because she slept with him. Otherwise, how could she have aplished that? It couldn¡¯t be anything else apart from her good looks and her willingness to take off her clothes. Madame Joanne and Lady Emma Assex both sensed something major was about to happen, and their facial expressions changed drastically. ¡°Mr. Trent, here¡¯s what happened. From what I know, Thousand Leaves only has one store in every main region. Our Assex Construction is the only primary distributor in California. The rest of the secondary distributors would need to go through us. But Lady Dorothy¡¯spany didn¡¯t get our approval. That¡¯s why I thought she forged the permit and tore it apart.¡± Anderson quickly smiled apologetically. ¡°I really had no idea that Mr. Trent signed the authorization letter for Lady Dorothy. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to destroy it.¡± Anderson added. At this point, Anderson was still very self-aware. He didn¡¯t start shouting right away. If he did, he would¡¯ve made Jack Trent upset and Assex Construction¡¯s business would be affected. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Trent. That¡¯s exactly what we intended. We were trying to protect Thousand Leaves¡¯ reputation as the primary distributor in this region,¡± Madame Joanne quickly said. ¡°Lady Dorothy Assex is my granddaughter. As her grandmother, I¡¯m very aware that she doesn¡¯t have what it takes to run a business. She was selling Thousand Leaves¡¯ products without our permission. We were worried it might affect Thousand Leaves¡¯ reputation. That¡¯s why we rushed over here. It turned out to be a misunderstanding,¡± she added. When Alex Rockefeller saw how Madame Joanne¡¯s tone changed to one of extreme politeness in front of Jack, he found it ridiculously funny. Since Madame Joanne said those things, Jack had no reason to be too mad. ¡°Since it¡¯s a misunderstanding, let¡¯s end it here! Coincidentally, I¡¯ve signed a new permit for you, Ms. Assex. On top of what the primary distributor is earning in the main region, Thousand Leaves is willing to offer your company an extra 10% share of profits. In fact, this will be an international permit, ¡± Jack said. ¡°What?¡± Anderson eximed. He nearly tripped and fell. Was Jack crazy? A 10% profit share was a lot of money. With a snowball effect, it could amount to a sum they could only dream of. Madame Joanne began to panic. If Lady Dorothy received this permit , Assex Construction would definitely be affected. What if Lady Dorothy received a better price and developed further as a lower- level distributor? Would the Assex family be forced out of business? Madame Joanne immediately spoke up. ¡°Mr. Trent, the City South Subsidiary is one of our branches. I think you should transfer this permit to Assex Construction!¡± ¡°Madame Joanne, I don¡¯t know what you think of Ms. Assex, but I personally find her a very capable person. To be honest, just based on sales, Thousand Leaves hasn¡¯t seen too much development from Assex Construction. On the other hand, Ms. Assex¡¯spany has been performing well. In the pas t six months, 70% of your sales came from Ms. Assex,¡± Jack said. ¡°That¡¯s because we assigned Lady Dorothy this specific task previously,¡± Madame Joanne said. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯ve already made up my mind. If you don¡¯t agree with my decision, I can withdraw the permit from Assex Construction and issue all of it to Ms. Assex.¡± ¡°On top of that, Ms. Assex, I suggest you change yourpany¡¯s name. ¡®Subsidiary of Assex Construction¡¯ is not suitable for a global distributor. People might misunderstand. If it¡¯s hard to change yourpany¡¯s name, you can start another one. Thousand Leaves is willing to sponsor you without any cost. In fact, we are willing to lend you 100 million without interest if need be,¡± Jack said generously. When the members of the Assex family heard this, they were thoroughly dumbfounded. What was Jack¡¯s rtionship with Lady Dorothy? Even if Lady Dorothy slept with Jack, there wasn¡¯t any reason for him to help her this much, right? The only reasonable exnation was that Jack fell in love with Lady Dorothy, and he wanted to marry her¡­ This would make more sense. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 208 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 208 Jack Trent was in his early thirties. He wasn¡¯t considered old at all. When Emma Assex thought of this, she immediately felt jealous. She wished she could kick Dorothy out of the way and throw herself into Jack¡¯s arms. But little did they know, Jack was only doing all of this to please Alex Rockefeller. Yesterday, Jack went to the hospital for a check- up and found out there indeed was something wrong with his kidney. Apart from traces of kidney stones being removed, the doctor discovered a slight infection in the area. That proved Jack¡¯s kidney stone problem was quite serious. It had gotten to the point where hematuria was a concern. However, since his kidney stones had been thoroughly removed, the aftermaths were much easier to deal with. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jack no longer had reason to doubt Alex¡¯s medical skills. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, can I have a moment with you?¡± Jack smiled as he asked Alex. Alex nodded. Alex and Jack walked slightly further away as members of the Assex family watched them with an odd expression on their faces, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, here¡¯s the thing. I have a small request,¡± Jack said. ¡°Do tell,¡± Alex said. ¡°Erm¡­ I was wondering if you¡¯ve done much research on infertility, Mr. Rockefeller?¡± Jack asked. Alex smiled a little as he looked Jack up and down. ¡°Mr. Trent, you won¡¯t have to worry. You¡¯re perfectly normal in that regard.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not me. It¡¯s my wife. She was found to be infertile two years ago. It¡¯s been bothering us for a while now. We¡¯ve also gone to Dr. Cheryl before, but it couldn¡¯t be fixed. That¡¯s why¡­¡± Jack said while he shook his head. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll have a look whenever your wife is avable.¡± Alex smiled and nodded. ¡°Thank you so much, Mr. Rockefeller. To be honest, my wife even wanted to get a divorce because of this. She wanted me to remarry, but I really love her. If Mr. Rockefeller can help my wife get pregnant, I¡¯ll be willing to pay you with all that I have,¡± Jack said joyously. Alex agreed to drop by Jack¡¯s ce in the evening. Jack left after they ended their conversation. When Alex returned, he discovered that the three members of the Assex family had disappeared as well. Dorothy Assex was still dealing with the client who came to pick up the products. However, after seeing Jack speaking up for Dorothy personally, the client didn¡¯t have the guts toin anymore. On top of that, Dorothy had also given the client additionalpensation. The issue had been perfectly resolved. Alex and Dorothy returned to the general manager¡¯s office. Dorothy nced at Alex briefly. ¡°Mr. Trent from Thousand Leaves was actually willing to offer us such a huge contract. Looks like you are worth quite a lot to him! I¡¯m sure your secret lover must have put in a lot of effort to help you, didn¡¯t she?¡± ¡°My secret lover? Who are you talking about?¡± Alex was stunned. ¡°Hmph. You know the answer. Who else could it be if not that woman with the surname Coney? Or do you n to tell me that the Yowell family is offering me this permit because of you?¡± Dorothy snorted. ¡°But that is the truth of what really happened.¡± Alex rubbed his nose. ¡°Do you think I would believe something like that? Well, she ended up helping me this time. Give her a call. Tell her I want to treat her to a meal as my way of thanking her in person,¡± Dorothy said while she pinched Alex¡¯s ear. ¡°What?!¡± Alex was shocked by what he heard. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 209 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 209 ¡°Why would you want to treat Cheryl Coney to a meal? That won¡¯t be necessary!¡± Alex Rockefeller quickly rejected Dorothy Assex. This was the biggest joke he had ever heard. If these women were to meet, they might start fighting with each other. And Alex wouldn¡¯t be right no matter who he sided with. Dorothy looked at Alex seriously. ¡°It is very much necessary. She has helped ourpany tremendously. If I don¡¯t express my gratitude, she might talk behind my back again. Call her. Do it right now, ¡± Dorothy said. ¡°Dorothy, she really didn¡¯t help. We don¡¯t have to do this,¡± Alex said and shook his head. In fact, he even wanted to use his ultimate skill of holding Dorothy and kissing her. However, Dorothy didn¡¯t let him have his way. ¡°Are you going to call her or not? If you don¡¯t even have the courage to call her, then there¡¯s definitely something going on between the two of you. Is that it?¡± She asked. ¡°No, absolutely not,¡± Alex said. ¡°In that case, call her and put the call on loudspeaker,¡± Dorothy said. ¡®D*mn. She¡¯s doing this again.¡¯ Alex thought. Since he didn¡¯t have a choice, he finally caved in and called Cheryl Coney. At the same time, Cheryl was sleeping in her room. Due to a few oddly difficult cases the hospital encountered yesterday, many doctors had been attending meetings. Due to such special circumstances, Cheryl stayed up nearly the entire night and was only able to fall asleep in the morning. When Alex called her on the phone, she picked it up and mumbled, ¡°Alex Rockefeller, what do you want? I was kept up all night yesterday. Can¡¯t you just let me sleep in peace?¡± She sounded sleepy. Suddenly, Alex felt a pain in his back. When he turned around, he could see Dorothy¡¯s eyes turn red with rage. Clearly, she had misunderstood something. However, anyone who heard Cheryl¡¯s voice would easily misunderstand her! ¡°Cheryl, what are you saying? How were you up all night?¡± Alex quickly said. ¡°How? It happened five times consecutively. Sigh, I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. I want to sleep. I can¡¯t even stand up straight. Please have mercy on me and stop keeping me up. You cane to me once I¡¯ve recovered,¡± Cheryl said. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Beep, beep, beep. She hung up. Cheryl meant to say that the emergency meetings were held five times consecutivelyst night. However, since she was very sleepy, she didn¡¯t exin things clearly. Now, Alex was in deep trouble¡­ Dorothy¡¯s body was shaking violently, and tears were rolling down her cheeks. She felt as if her world was turning dark. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, why? Why did you do this to me?¡± ¡°I thought I could see hope. I thought we had already gone through the worst. But I never thought I¡¯d encounter such hopelessness in the end.: ¡°I¡¯m such a fool! When you told me that you found a solution yesterday, I should have known that you would find her. Only she is capable of doing such a thing. I didn¡¯t know this was the price I had to pay. Five times! How insulting. My husband actually had to sacrifice his body for mypany¡­ So what if I got what I wanted for thepany?¡± When Alex saw Dorothy like this, his heart was in pain. But this¡­ This couldn¡¯t have been further from the truth! ¡°Dorothy, you have to believe me. I really didn¡¯t do that with Dr. Cheryl¡­ I was home all night yesterday. I don¡¯t know why she said that, perhaps¡­ Perhaps, she just wants to make you upset. Please don¡¯t fall for it.¡± Alex quickly hugged Dorothy. ¡°Get away from me. Don¡¯ t touch me, you dirty man,¡± Dorothy said. Alex immediately froze. He immediately called Cheryl on the phone again, and he kept the call on loudspeaker as he did before. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, are you intentionally keeping me awake? Just you wait. I¡¯m going to make sure you can¡¯t sleep tonight either,¡± Cheryl said right after picking up the call. Dorothy¡¯s facial expression turned even darker. Alex immediately became enraged. It was getting even moreplicated. ¡°Dr. Cheryl, please joke within reason. My wife is listening to this conversation. Don¡¯ t say things that are untrue. I didn¡¯t even see youst night. More importantly, I never slept with you. Why did you say I did that to you five times? Do you think I¡¯m superman?¡± Alex said. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 210 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 210 Cheryl Coney eximed and seemed to be slightly more awake. ¡°What do you mean sleep with me? Of course¡­ Oh, I was talking about holding meetings in the hospital. There was an exceptional number of patientsst night. I had to stay up all night. Who slept with you? Your wife has problems and won¡¯t sleep with you, but she still gets defensive about other women being near you? I¡¯m hanging up,¡± Cheryl said. Alex Rockefeller let out a long sigh. ¡°Dorothy, did you hear that? She wasn¡¯t referring to sex. She was talking about meetings in the hospital. You¡¯ve wrongly incriminated me,¡± he said. However, Dorothy Assex pushed him away. ¡°Do you think I would believe that? If you didn¡¯t see herst night, why did Jack Trente over? Did he receive a message in his sleep? Of course, she would help you cover things up since I¡¯m around. Get lost. I don¡¯t want to see you,¡± she said determinedly with a cold expression on her face. Seeing her like this, Alex knew she was just upset. There was nothing he could say to calm her down. Since he did nothing wrong, he would eventually be forgiven. Alex decided to try speaking to her again once she calmed down a little more. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you believe me or not. I really didn¡¯t see Dr. Cherylst night. About the Thousand Leaves¡¯ permit letter, I actually spoke to Michelle Yowell. You can ask Beatrice Assex about this. She was there yesterday,¡± Alex said before he walked out of the office and sighed gently. Although he was depressed, he didn¡¯t me Dorothy. If he were in her shoes, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to take all this in either. Five minutes after Alex left, Dorothy finally came to her senses. ¡®Did I really me him by mistake? How would Beatrice know about this?¡¯ She thought to herself. Since Dorothy wasn¡¯t able to work in such a state, she decided to return home to meet her sister. *** Meanwhile, Alex got into his Aston Martin. He was going to the market to buy some groceries before heading home. Little did he know, he would encounter a car ident. His Aston Martin stopped at a traffic light. Just as it turned green and Alex started driving the car forward, a ck sedan knocked into his car from behind. His car lights in the back werepletely destroyed, and his car spun 360 beforeing to a halt. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. More importantly, the car that caused the ident actually sped past him without stopping. ¡°Screw me! ¡± Alex immediately became angry. He had barely driven this car worth three million dors, and it was already knocked by another car. The person who caused the ident even tried to escape. ¡®Just you wait.¡¯ Alex thought. He immediately turned on the car engine and unleashed the sports car¡¯s full potential. After a loud roar of the engine, the car sped forward. Alex was getting a little dejected now. In the past, he had never gotten into any car idents despite having driven for years. But within such a short recent timespan, he had destroyed several cars that cost a significant amount of money. ¡°Am I a destroyer of luxury cars?¡± Alex asked himself dejectedly. He stepped firmly on the elerator. Alex¡¯s senses were quite sharp and agile, so driving fast wasn¡¯t an issue. Meanwhile, the other person was only driving a BMW. Compared to Alex¡¯s Aston Martin, it was no match in speed. Very soon, Alex caught up with the car. ¡°Stop the car. F*cking stop the car!¡± Alex shouted angrily. But the other person ignored him and continued to speed up. Enraged, Alex grabbed a bottle of mineral water next to him and tossed it forcefully out of his car. ng! Filled with Chi force, the bottle instantly broke the car¡¯s window. Soon, the car window was lowered. Alex discovered that it was actually a female driver. She was wearing a pair of sunsses, and her facial expression was cold. But the strange thing was that she was wearing nothing but a bikini. ¡°Stop messing around. I¡¯m from a special agency. I¡¯m carrying out a mission. I¡¯ll pay you for your car. Get out of my way,¡± the woman said to Alex. Alex was already upset and she just made things worse. ¡°What special agency? It sure is special if you have to dress up like this. Are you from a nightclub in the red-light district? Do you think I¡¯m an idiot? After you leave, who would I im thepensation from? Stop the car right now. Otherwise, I won¡¯t go easy on you,¡± he warned. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 211 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 211 The woman turned around. Alex Rockefeller didn¡¯t need to guess to know that her gaze was as cold as ice beneath those sunsses. ¡°What did you say?¡± The woman asked coldly. ¡°I told you to stop the car,¡± Alex said after a moment of silence. His car was elerating as he spoke. Suddenly, he crashed his car into the woman¡¯s BMW from the side. She was forced to stop as her car knocked into the guardrails. The woman looked forward. Coincidentally, she saw a car driving madly past a junction. With a high-speed drift, it skidded across the road and knocked a small, ck car over before disappearing into traffic. Alex happened to witness it as well. He was slightly stunned. He wondered to himself why there were so many suicidal drivers today. But when he saw the woman in the BMW mming her hands against the steering wheel, he seemed to have figured out what was going on. Bang! The woman kicked her door open and walked out of her car in a bikini. She wasn¡¯t even wearing shoes. The problem was that she had a very good physique. She had curves in all the right ces, especially her abs and her lower abdomen. However, she didn¡¯t have a particrly good attitude. After walking over to Alex¡¯s Aston Martin, she mmed her hand on the hood and shouted angrily. ¡°Get out of the car. Did you know that you just ruined my n?¡± Alex had only just opened his car door slightly when the woman forcefully pulled it open. She grabbed Alex by his cor and wanted to pull him out. However, Alex kept his hand on the steering wheel and wouldn¡¯t budge. Suddenly, he heard the sound of clothing being torn. The woman had torn his shirt. Alex casually pushed her away. He got out of the car and stared at the woman coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are. It¡¯s your fault for causing a car ident and trying to run away! Nothing will change the fact that you are in the wrong. Now, you have to pay for the damage!¡± Alex eximed. The woman grabbed Alex by his shirt again and tugged at it. This time, Alex nearly bumped into her chest. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you want to fight me after damaging my car? What kind of special agency are you from to be dressed so revealingly?¡± Alex looked down and said. The woman red at Alex angrily. In the end, she probably felt that things might getplicated with so many people watching. She reached behind her waist and retrieved amunication device from her bikini. ¡°I¡¯ve bumped into a troublernaker. That man ended up escaping due to the dy. I can¡¯t catch up now. Do what you must! What was Team B doing? Are they all dreaming?¡± ¡°Got it. Return to your team!¡± Alex could hear a man¡¯s soft voiceing from themunication device by the woman¡¯s ear. If not for his Force reaching the third degree and his increased capability from absorbing a significant amount of Jadeite essence, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to hear it. This woman really was from some sort of special agency. N?velDrama.Org owns this. ¡®I wonder, is she the secret agent, 007?¡¯ Alex suddenly thought of the pronoun. Meanwhile, the woman handed Alex a name card. There was only a phone number on it. ¡°Call the traffic police. If you wantpensation, call the number on this card. They¡¯ll pay you ordingly,¡± she said. ¡°You¡­¡± Alex said after looking at the card. ¡°What else do you want? If you don¡¯t stop talking, I¡¯ll p you until you faint. What are you looking at? Have you not seen a pretty woman before?¡± The woman said impatiently. Alex was rather speechless. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll believe you this time. But I just want to remind you that you¡¯re bleeding,¡± Alex said. There was a knife wound on her left thigh. Blood was already dripping down to the back of her leg. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 212 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 212 ¡°Get lost! ¡± The woman said coldly before getting into her car and driving away. Alex Rockefeller checked the back of his car with a depressed look on his face. It was in a much worse state than he had imagined. He tried to call the number on the card the woman gave her. After Alex exined what happened, the person on the line actually agreed to his request happily. In fact, Alex was told there wasn¡¯t any verification process needed. All he had to do was email them a picture of the car repair invoice along with his bank ount number and he would receive a payment for it the following day. Just as Alex was thinking about where to go to get his car fixed, he received a call from Michelle Yowell. She told him that the final ingredient for the medicine he was making had arrived. Alex nced at the back of his car. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll be there in the afternoon.¡± He decided to have Michelle fix his car. *** In the afternoon, Alex had lunch at home. After thinking about it for a day, Brittany Rockefeller began to ept the fact that William Rockefeller was only Bill Rockefeller¡¯s adopted son. Like Alex,ing to terms with it got her out of her emotionally vulnerable state. After all, the Rockefeller family only treated William as their money-making machine. Now that the Rockefeller acquired Rockefeller Group just as they wanted, they no longer had a need for each other. ¡°Madame, the Rockefeller family has gone too far. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to try getting Rockefeller Group back? If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t give up so easily after being treated like this,¡± Waltz Fleur said during the meal. Brittany shook her head. ¡°No. Rockefeller Group is thest straw to end our rtionship. If I don¡¯t let it go, we can¡¯t break off tiespletely!¡± ¡°The Rockefeller family got it too easy.¡± Waltz sighed. ¡°Don¡¯ t worry. I will bring Rockefeller Group down,¡± Brittany said. ¡°Son, I¡¯ve decided to go to Michigan next week. We¡¯ll revive our empire. Come with me,¡± Brittany added after a pause. Alex was taken aback. ¡°I can go with you on Monday, but I can¡¯t stay in Michigan for too long. I have to investigate how Dad died and find out if it¡¯s rted to John Rockefeller. On top of that, I want to know what projects Rockefeller Group coborated on with the government in the past.¡± Brittany¡¯s expression changed slightly when she heard this. She nced over at Waltz. Waltz immediately caught Brittany¡¯s hint and stood up with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m going to the supermarket to buy some stuff.¡± ¡°Mom, is this a secret?¡± Alex asked with a frown. Brittany nodded. ¡°Why else do you think your father ended up being med as a national traitor? Instead of saying it was a coboration project with the government, I should say that it was a task forced on your father by a government official. However, it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t know about this for now. Knowing more won¡¯t do you any good,¡± she said. Alex could see the look of concern in his mother¡¯s eyes. He knew very well that it was tough to change her mind once she had decided upon something. In the end, Alex decided that he would investigate the case on his own in the future. After an hour, Waltz returned. Meanwhile, Alex headed to the Yowell family¡¯s ce. ¡°Oh my god. Alex, did you get in another car ident? Are you a road hog?¡± Michelle eximed when she saw the damaged Aston Martin. Alex sighed. ¡°I was unlucky today. I bumped into this crazy woman who was driving recklessly on the road. She knocked into my car just as I started to move when the traffic light turned green. I don¡¯t know which store the car was bought from. Help me fix it!¡± He said. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Sure! ¡± Michelle agreed decisively. Right then, he heard a cold voice. ¡°Hmph. I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s you. Who are you calling a crazy woman?¡± Alex turned to look at the person who spoke. He saw three men and a woman walking into the house. The woman was wearing a casual, ck-and- white outfit. She was tall with light footsteps. However, her facial expression was unusually cold. She was the bikini woman who rammed her car into Alex¡¯s car in the morning. She looked very different when fully dressed. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 213 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 213 Alex Rockefeller never would¡¯ve guessed that he would bump into the sexy bikini woman here. Meanwhile, one of the men who walked next to the bikini woman was Michelle Yowell¡¯s eldest brother, Colin Yowell. Alex didn¡¯t recognize the other two men next to her, one of which was a young and the other an old man. When Michelle saw the bikini woman, she immediately made a face. ¡°Anna Coleman, why are you here? What are you doing in my house?¡± Michelle asked in a cold voice. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Anna answered emotionlessly. Michelle snorted. ¡°You¡¯re in my house. Why are you still behaving like a snob?¡± ¡°Brother, there¡¯s no point in waiting around for her. Some women are born b*tches. They treat those who are nice to them like dirt, but they would runps for those who don¡¯t care about them. There are plenty more women who are better than her in my school. I¡¯ll introduce a few of them to you one day,¡± Michelle said to Colin. Colin sighed softly. There was a sad look in his eyes. Alex could tell that it was a case of unrequited love. Colin had feelings for Anna, but she did not return those feelings. ¡°Who are you calling a b*tch? Michelle Yowell, you asked for it! I¡¯m going to teach you a lesson!¡± Anna shouted angrily. She actually had a worse temper than Michelle. As soon as the disagreement urred, Anna proceeded to attack Michelle. With a swift move, Anna invoked all her inner energy and struck Michelle with a punch. ¡°Peak-Royal rank!¡± Alex¡¯s eyes glistened. He was slightly surprised that Anna¡¯s capability was at a level simr to Waltz Fleur¡¯s. He didn¡¯t realize this back when the car ident happened. However, Michelle was only at the Intermediate-Royal rank. On top of that, she suffered from an injury two days ago and had not fully recovered from it. Although Anna didn¡¯t use all her might with this punch, Michelle could easily get injured if she tried to fight back Just as Michelle was about to strike out, Alex pulled her away and grabbed Anna¡¯s fist with his hand. Anna¡¯s attack was instantly blocked. She felt as if the impact of her punch had beenpletely absorbed, but Alex didn¡¯t show any expression on his face. ¡®What? Is this fellow a martial artist too?¡¯ Anna thought with surprise. But she very soon realized that it was a good thing. Although she might have stopped herself from hitting a normal person, she wouldn¡¯t hold back against a martial artist. To her surprise, Alex looked at Colin and started speaking. ¡°Your sister is right. Love is like a rtionship between a key and a lock. It will only work if the two are a match. Otherwise, her lock wouldn¡¯t be opened by you even if you stayed with her for the rest of your life,¡± Alex said. Michelleughed out loudly. ¡°Alex, that¡¯s a perfect metaphor. Anna¡¯s lock is indeed broken. It¡¯s gone rusty. Even if you oil it up with lubricant and try to open it with a multi-purpose key, it wouldn¡¯t work. You shouldn¡¯t waste your time,¡± Michelle added. Anna was extremely upset. Alex actuallypared her to a lock. On top of that, Michelle insinuated some very upsetting things about her. Meanwhile, Alex was still holding onto Anna¡¯s fist. Since he stood in between Anna and Michelle, he naturally became Anna¡¯s target to vent her anger. ¡°Get out of my way! ¡± Anna shouted. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She invoked her inner force and directed it at Alex. 50% of her inner force was activated. However, Alex didn¡¯t even budge. His hand was still wrapped around her fist. It was almost as if he didn¡¯t feel anything. 80% of her inner force was activated. Alex still didn¡¯t move. Stunned, Anna let out a loud cry. ¡°Dragon-Tusk Punch!¡± 100% of her inner force was activated. ¡°Be careful, Alex,¡± Michelle warned. Alex could sense the energy emitted from Anna¡¯s body. The Dragon-Tusk Punch she used enabled her to channel all her inner force to one focal point for a heavy hit. Unfortunately, Alex had yet to establish foundations for such high-level martial art techniques. However, he had an unbelievably strong defense, shocking speed, and great observational skills. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 214 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 214 Just as Anna Coleman¡¯s punch was about to hit Alex, he leaned to one side slightly and struck her wrist at lightning speed with a single finger. Anna felt as if a hammer had struck her wrist. Her entire arm went numb. However, she wouldn¡¯t give up because she had such a hot temper. If her first punch didn¡¯t work, she would try again. ¡°Dragon-Tusk: Seven Deaths!¡± This technique was even more formidable than thest one. It happened so quickly that it seemed like all seven punches were thrown at him at once. However, Alex was able to observe all of them in time. He blocked all of them as he did before but decided against striking back. It wasn¡¯t because his heart softened at the sight of Anna¡¯s beauty. Instead, it was because he could tell that Anna¡¯s Dragon-Tusk Punch really was quite powerful. He couldn¡¯t bring himself to interrupt her, and he wanted to observe and carefully study her technique so that he might learn it Hence, the battle continued with Anna attacking Alex while he evaded her attacks. ¡°Dragon-Tusk: Prajna!¡± ¡°Dragon-Tusk: Thousand des!¡± ¡°Dragon-Tusk: Cloud Piercer!¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Each shout revealed an awe-inspiring punch technique. Colin stood nearby with a perplexed expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t think Anna would achieve Peak-Royal rank so soon. She¡¯s just one step away from Mystic rank. I really am far behind her,¡± he murmured. Meanwhile, Alex was feeling extremely happy. He secretly absorbed the experience he was gaining and reimagined the moves in his mind. After repeating her moves twice, Anna realized she still couldn¡¯t defeat Alex. It drove her mad. However, Alex was still smiling slyly at her. ¡°Bikini woman, do you have other techniques? The same techniques don¡¯t work on me. If this is all you ¡¯ve got, I suggest you give up. Don¡¯t be so stubborn.¡± Alex chuckled. ¡°You¡­ You keep avoiding me. What kind of man are you? If you¡¯ve got guts, fight me.¡± Anna was so tired that she was a little out of breath. ¡°Fine. Since you¡¯ve attacked me so many times, I¡¯ll hit you back for once,¡± Alex said. He stood still and struck out a punch at lightning speed. He was only using 50% of his powers. Anna struck out with a punch as well, but she was using 100% of her inner force. Boom! There was a loud explosive sound as their energies exploded in all directions. Michelle and the others couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps backward. Anna stumbled backwards as she heaved. She nearly coughed blood out of her mouth. ¡°How did you learn Dragon-Tusk Punch?¡± Anna shouted in surprise. ¡°I¡¯ll have to thank you, Teacher Coleman, for your effective guidance.¡± Alexughed. Anna was stunned for two moments before she realized what had happened. ¡°You actually stole the technique from me. I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± she shouted angrily before leaping into the air and kicking her foot out. Alex grabbed her by the ankle and gently tugged at it. Bang! Anna¡¯s legs spread wide open like a ballet dancer¡¯s as she fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone heard a fabric tear. Indeed, her ck pants had been torn at the seam. This was where the battle ended. With Colin¡¯s help, Anna got back on her feet. However, her face was pale and she walked in a funny way. Michelle pped and cheered. ¡°That was a fantastic show. Alex, you really are amazing. Now, does the lady finally understand that there will always be someone better than her? Come on, Alex, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to my grandfather. He¡¯ll be happy to see you,¡± she said. Anna red at Alex, her eyes azed. ¡°Who is that Coleman girl? What¡¯s her background like?¡± Alex asked as he walked. Michelle pursed her lips and lifted her chest. ¡°She has quite an impressive background. She works for Divine Constabry.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 215 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 215 Alex Rockefeller had a strange expression on his face. ¡°Divine Constabry? What on earth is that?¡± He asked. The only thing he could associate Divine Constabry with was a drama called ¡®The Four¡¯, but it was entirely fictional. How could it appear in the real world? ¡°It¡¯s not that Divine Constabry, but I reckon it¡¯s not too far from it. You can think of her as an ancient guard or a government official. She oversees some weird things. Don¡¯t mind her. Think of her as traffic police,¡± Michelle Yowell said. Alex was rather shocked. This was the first time he had heard about such a department in the government. ¡°What is she doing here? Not only did she barge into the Yowell family¡¯s ce, but she even attacked you. Isn¡¯t that a little too much? Can people from Divine Constabry do whatever they want?¡± Alex asked. Michelle rubbed her temples. ¡°That¡¯s not because she¡¯s from Divine Constabry. It¡¯s because we have never gotten along as kids. She lived around here when she was younger. My brother had always followed her around. It was annoying, and she even behaved like an arrogant princess, thinking that nobody was better than her,¡± Michelle exined. ¡®Oh¡­¡¯ Alex finally understood what was going on. Anna Coleman seemed to be connected to the Yowell family in some way. Michelle and Anna were childhood friends who often fought with each other. Alex had unintentionally involved himself and made things awkward. However, it was all worth it because he ended up learning a set of Dragon-Tusk Punch techniques. ¡°Grandpa, Alex Rockefeller is here!¡± Keith Yowell was lying on his bed. His face looked pale. Although Alex helped to extend Keith¡¯s life by seven days, he couldn¡¯t turn Keith into a normal human right away. It was already a miracle that Keith lived this long. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller!¡± Keith struggled to get up, but Alex stopped him from doing so. ¡°Mr. Yowell, your heart is very weak. I¡¯d suggest you don¡¯t get up,¡± Alex said. ¡°Grandpa seems to be getting weaker by the day. Alex, help him,¡± Michelle said nervously. Alex checked Keith¡¯s pulse. ¡°He¡¯s fine. This is normal. Your grandfather¡¯s life was already near its end. Despite his copsed chest, I used Seven Needles of Life Extension to extend his life by seven days. He¡¯s lucky to still be alive. As long as he eats the Life Pill, he¡¯ll naturally recover over time,¡± Alex said. ¡°Isn¡¯t there a way to make Grandpa suffer less?¡± Michelle asked. Alex nodded. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll channel some Chi energy into your body so you won¡¯t be affected by heartburn.¡± But just as Alex pressed his hand against Keith¡¯s chest to carefully channel a part of his Chi energy into his body, he heard someone shout. ¡°Stop!¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. It was the old man who came with Anna earlier. The group of people entered the room. The old man instantly ran forward and grabbed Alex¡¯s hand before pulling him away. ¡°What are you doing, young man? Are you trying to kill him?¡± He shouted angrily. ¡®D*mn!¡¯ Alex secretly cursed. Fortunately, Alex hadn¡¯t started channeling his Chi energy yet. Otherwise, if he was interrupted in the process, he might have identally channeled too much of his Chi energy, which had condensed into threads in his hand at this point, causing Keith¡¯s veins to explode. If that happened, even God couldn¡¯t save Keith. After retrieving his hand, Alex seemed upset. He stared at the old man. ¡°Who¡¯s trying to kill him? You nearly killed the head of the Yowell family.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 216 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 216 ¡°Are you putting the me on me?¡± The old man red. Anna Coleman angrily spoke, ¡°Do you have any idea who you are talking to? He is the Imperial Doctor, the man whose hands raised the dead-Wace Yoke! How dare you disrespect him. Apologize, now!¡± Alex Rockefeller looked at Anna calmly with his hands behind his back. On the contrary, Keith Yowell was extremely surprised. Struggling to sit up, he looked at Wace admiringly and said, ¡°Doctor Yoke, what brings you here? It is my utmost pleasure! ¡± As he spoke, he gave Wace a salute and a slight bow. To which Wace replied, ¡°It is my pleasure too, Mr. Yowell! You are not feeling well, please, do not force yourself!¡± Colin Yowell added, ¡°Grandpa, Anna brought Doctor Yoke here to treat you all the way from North Tokyo! I am sure you will feel better in no time!¡± ¡°Indeed. Doctor Yoke is a well-known and reputable doctor here and abroad. Unlike a certain someone here who is nothing but a quack. Grandpa Yowell, I heard that he wanted you to gather several rare medicinal herbs just so that he can create his so-called Life Pill? I told Doctor Yoke about your condition and it is just a bunch of nonsense.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Keith¡¯s expression changed abruptly. Although he believed in Alex¡¯s capability, he would rather have Wace treating him instead. After all, as the Imperial Doctor, he was the more reputable person in the room. Wace answered nonchntly, ¡°I just checked your pulse. Things are not looking good for sure. Your organs are failing and cannot be treated by the medicinal herbs Mr. Rockefeller here suggested. It¡¯s too strong for you, Mr. Yowell, your body cannot take it. Plus, I have never heard of the Life Pill, who knows if it is legitimate!¡± ¡°Yourck of knowledge doesn¡¯t mean it does not exist.¡± Alex retorted. Wace grunted and did not speak anymore. ¡°Doctor Yoke, Mr. Rockefeller is a master of medicine and is very much revered by Doctor Coney of California,¡± said Keith. Wace snickered. ¡°James Coney is just another fool then. I have never heard of a master at such a young age! This is not the time for an impostor to show us his tricks as lives are at stake here. Mr. Yowell, let me treat you, I am sure you will feel better right away. Anna, please escort that boy out.¡± Anna had had enough of Alex and yelled, ¡°Get lost!¡± Looking at her split pants, Alex then turned his gaze to Keith and asked, ¡°Mr. Yowell, I can give you ten more years to live if you trust me. Otherwise, only fate decides.¡± Keith was deep in dilemma. N?velDrama.Org owns this. In the end, Wace¡¯s reputation won the day as Keith said, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, how about Michelle show you around in our manor? We have quite a lot to see.¡± Alex sighed, gently shook his head, and left. Before he stepped out the door, he said, ¡°Well, Doctor¡­ Um¡­ Doctor Yoke, I safeguarded his heart and vein with Seven Matters and extended his life by seven days. If you break the protection I set, he will die in less than half an hour, be careful!¡± With that, he left. Michelle Yowell stomped her feet and cried out, ¡°Grandpa! How could you let him go?¡± And she followed suit, running out of the hall to chase down Alex. A few days ago, she was extremely skeptical of Alex, but after a few interactions, she realized that he was indeed a man with hidden talents and capabilities. Anna snickered. ¡°Who is he to curse Grandpa Yowell? How could Michelle be with that guy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, we all have our differences. Mr. Yowell, I am going to start my treatment. You will feel much better when I am done,¡± said Wace. Five minutester, the treatment ended. Just as Wace pulled out the final needle, Keith¡¯s face flushed abruptly, as he sped his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 217 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 217 ¡°Argh! ¡± ¡°Grandpa! What is going on? Are you okay?¡± Colin Yowell was extremely distressed to see Keith Yowell spitting out blood, sping his chest and gasping for air. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper and twisted in immense pain. The Yowells present were frightened. While Anna Coleman quickly turned to Wace Yoke and asked, ¡°Sir, what is going on? Why is he spitting blood?¡± Wace looked on gravely. As the Imperial Doctor, he truly deserved the title. Unfortunately, Alex Rockefeller¡¯s Seven Elements was not something any regr human being could fathom. ¡°Do not worry, this is the bad blood in his body. He should feel better after it is out of his system.¡± Wace made a quick deduction and exined. He was revered highly and his exnation instantly soothed many worried hearts. Anna smiled. ¡°Doctor Yoke is indeed the Imperial Doctor we admire! See how he made Grandpa Yowell throw up all the bad blood in his body with a simple treatment. Are you feeling better now, Grandpa? What are you waiting for, Colin? Get a towel here!¡± The next moment, Keith opened his mouth abruptly and spit out a huge mouthful of blood. Anna received the brunt of it as the blood sttered on her top. She was stunned. ¡°Sir, is this bad blood too?¡± It did not seem like it for there was too much blood. Wace did not reply. Hurriedly, he took out his silver needles and quickly performed another round of emergency treatment on Keith. Yet, his condition did not improve. Instead, blood came rushing out from his nostrils. ¡°Argh!¡± ¡°Doctor, doctor! You have to save my grandfather!¡± Colin shouted. It was a dire situation, with Keith teetering on the edge of death. Other people were not as polite anymore. ¡°I thought you are the Imperial Doctor? Are you the fraud instead?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Anna Coleman! We treated you well, why did you do this to us? He was doing all right before this. Not to mention, we gathered all medicinal herbs requested by Mr. Rockefeller¡­ ¡± The statement reminded the people of something crucial as a person yelled. ¡°Get Mr. Rockefeller! Quick!¡± Alex gave the keys of his Aston Martin to Michelle. ¡°I trust you will bring my car to be serviced? Let me know when it is done. I am paying so keep the receipts. Bikini told me that I can im my losses.¡± Michelle gave him a weird look. ¡°Why do you call her Bikini?¡± ¡°Well, she was wearing one when she crashed into my car the other day,¡± replied Alex. ¡°What do you think about her body?¡± Michelleughed. Alex was taken aback by the question. He¡¯d rather not answer it. ¡°Anyway, I will be going.¡± ¡°I am so sorry, Alex! Perhaps my grandfather was concerned¡­¡± Alex waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am fine.¡± He smiled and walked away. His first impression of Michelle was unpleasant but after several interactions, he found her to be an honest girl and someone he could be friends with. Colin and a few others came running just momentster. He saw Michelle, who was walking toward them, and called out. ¡°Sis, where is Mr. Rockefeller?¡± ¡°He left since you asked him to.¡± Michelle was slightly upset at the thought of it. ¡°Where did he go? Quick, we need to get him! Grandpa is not going to make it!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 218 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 218 They hurriedly ran out of the gates. However, Alex Rockefeller was nowhere to be seen. ¡°Michelle, quick! Dial his number!¡± Five minutester, Alex once again, appeared in front of Keith Yowell. He was willing to return for two reasons. The first was as a return of Jack Trent¡¯s favor and the other was Michelle¡¯s unrelenting plea. Otherwise, Keith would have died. Anna Coleman and Alex met again. She wasn¡¯t as smug as she was before, presumably because she had been castigated by the Yowells. However, she still gave Alex an unfriendly look. ¡°Shoo!¡± Alex returned Anna¡¯s sentiment with one word. It took no time for Alex to realize what went wrong with Keith. The situation was dire, just as he expected when he left just now. He lightly jabbed his finger on his chest, where the heart was located. Wace Yoke was shocked by Alex¡¯s maneuver. He was confused and could not fathom what he was doing. It was the Seven Needles of Life Extension! Thest time he performed it, he finished it in a blink of an eye. But now, it took him over ten minutes to complete the life-saving procedure.N?velDrama.Org owns this. Keith felt much better after Alex concluded his treatment. He was extremely ashamed. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I can never thank you enough for what you did.¡± The Yowells were relieved and looked at Alex with gratitude. Anna was confused and shocked as she didn¡¯t expect things to turn out the way it did. Alex waved his hand and said, ¡°Mr. Yowell, if you trusted me, I could have extended your life by another decade. It¡¯s a pity what you had to go through just now. You can only live for five years at most even with the Life Pill. What I did gave you another day of living. Now, it alles down to the concoction of the Life Pill.¡± ¡°What? How did this happen?¡± ¡°Ten years¡­ Now he¡¯s not even going to live past five years!¡± The Yowells were shocked. And then they looked at Wace with anger as Michelle blurted. ¡°Anna Coleman, who did you bring? A doctor or rather, a murderer? My grandfather was doing so well, but you had toe in and ruin it for us! Get lost!¡± Wace Yoke had never encountered something like this before and was at a loss for words. Anna retorted angrily, ¡°Michelle Yowell, who is to say if he told the truth? What if he made things up?¡± ¡°Made things up? What about the blood on the floor, on your shirt? Are those made up too? Get out, we don¡¯t want you here!¡± Michelle was livid. Wace sighed deeply. ¡°Mr. Yowell, I am so sorry. Please excuse me.¡± He staggered toward the door, trying to wrap his head around the chain of events. Anna quickly followed after him. Alex said, ¡°Michelle, why don¡¯t you fetch me the medicinal herbs? I will concoct the Life Pill now.¡± With the herbs in his hand, Alex left only to find Wace waiting for him by the door. He called out as soon as he saw Alex, ¡°Wait a minute, Mr. Rockefeller!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 219 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 219 Anna Coleman stood next to Wace Yoke. She looked at him with a cold gaze, as if she was born better off than everyone else. Alex Rockefeller could not help butugh in his heart. No wonder Michelle Yowell did not like her. If Colin Yowell decided to marry her, it would only serve as the beginning of headaches and troubles at home. His gaze shifted from Anna to Wace. ¡°How may I help you, sir?¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. Wace was slightly eager as he said, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I have some knowledge in medicine and treating people but I have never seen anything like what you did just now. Would you be so kind to exin the workings behind your treatment?¡± He was extremely polite and talked to Alex in a slight bow. The medicalmunity would be shocked to find out that the Imperial Doctor spoke to an unknown person with such respect and admiration. ¡°The inner workings?¡± Michelle snickered. ¡°Why should he tell you? What if you are trying to steal the knowledge for your own use?¡± Wace was embarrassed and he looked a little ufortable by Michelle¡¯s retort. Since he seemed to be genuinely regretful and had the inclination to learn, Alex sighed and said, ¡°My skills are fundamentally distinct from yours, I don¡¯t think you would understand even if I told you.¡± Wace looked beaten as he smiled bitterly. ¡°I see. Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Rockefeller. Goodbye.¡± Seeing Wace¡¯s wistful state, Alex could not help but feel sorry. At the end of the day, they were just trying to save a patient¡¯s life. Why should he give the Imperial Doctor a hard time over an insignificant matter. ¡°Hold up, Doctor Yoke!¡± ¡°Yes?¡± Wace stopped in his tracks. Alex continued, ¡°Your expertise is not to be doubted, that is for sure. As for what happened, it is not your fault as well. My skills are quite distinct from what you practice and the Seven Needles of Life Extension I usedes from Zharvakko, the witch doctor¡¯s Ten Acupuncture Techniques. I don¡¯t mind sharing but it¡¯s not for the ordinary to fathom.¡± ¡°Zharvakko! I did not expect his teachings to survive!¡± Wace was shocked. ¡°You know him, Doctor Yoke?¡± ¡°I heard from my mentor when I was younger. By chance, he got hold of Zharvakko¡¯s scriptures but could not crack its secret even after spending decades studying.¡± Wace kept shaking his head as he spoke. ¡°I suppose you are on your way to prepare Mr. Yowell¡¯s medicine. Well then, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. Thank you, sir!¡± Anna was shocked to see Wace, one of the most reputable doctors known to men, bow to Alex. Alex nodded and left for Maple Vi with Michelle on the wheels. *** Over at Assex Vi, Dorothy Assex wanted to know from her sister, Beatrice, whether Alex spent the night with Cheryl Coney. Her logical mind believed Alex¡¯s exnation to be true. She knew his character and recognized that he would not cheat. Yet, every time she thought of the woman, she could not help but feel angry. ¡°Oh, Dorothy, you came back early today.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 220 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!¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. 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. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 221 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 221 Finding himself a way out, Alex Rockefeller had Michelle Yowell drop him off at a street, a few blocks away from Maple Vi. He did not want her to visit him just whenever she wanted to. After the previous incident where he saved Keith Yowell from imminent death, he believed that Keith would do something big to express his gratitude. Michelle seemed to be the key to that gift. ¡°Alex!¡± Michelle hollered as he got out of the car. ¡°Yes, anything I can help with?¡± ¡°My grandfather¡¯s life all depends on you now. You really must cure him! I know I didn¡¯t really give you the best impression, to begin with, but I¡¯m trying my best to change the way you see me. Please!¡± Michelle clutched her hands in front of her chest as she cried out exasperatedly. ¡°I¡¯ve lost both my parents when I was just a little girl, and I cannot lose my grandfather too!¡± Seeing how teary Michelle had be, Alex reassured gently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will try my best.¡± ¡°Thank you, Alex. Well¡­say, can I be your friend?¡± Alex nodded after a few seconds of silence. ¡°We are already friends. I¡¯ll visit again as soon as the Life Pill has beenpleted.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait at your house.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. You should go.¡± With that, he left. Michelle punched the air in delight and mouthed gleefully. ¡°I am worthy of an Oscars!¡± She then paused midair, as though deep in thought, and muttered to herself, ¡®Are we really friends?¡¯ Once Michelle got home, Keith had her tell him everything about Alex, just as Alex expected. He even wanted to know about the exchange between Alex and Wace Yoke at the gates. It took a good five minutes. Keith felt extremely regretful and had the urge to hit a wall with his head. Standing next to him was Colin Yowell, who said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t feel bad, grandpa. Alex Rockefeller did say he could extend your life by another five years. Perhaps there are other ways to extend your life further.¡± Keith kept tapping his head with his hand. ¡°I¡¯m such a fool. The most foolish man on earth! Oh, how could I be so stupid?¡± Colin and Michelle were shocked to see their grandfather behaving in such a manner. Michelle hastily added, ¡°Grandpa, you shouldn¡¯t me yourself.¡± ¡°How can I not?¡± replied Keith. ¡°I¡¯d rather shatter my head on the walls now and die than to live another day!¡± Who would have known that Keith was so afraid of death? ¡°Do you think I¡¯m regretful for having my lifespan cut short of five years? Of course not! I am an old man, and those five years do not matter to me. I feel bad because we just lost a huge opportunity!¡± eximed Keith. The siblings were puzzled. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller is a man with immense potential. There wille a time when he bes the town¡¯s talk, no, of the world. Our family was in a good position to build a rtionship with him, but I had to ruin it for myself! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just slipped by all because of my ipetence!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Colin disagreed with his grandfather¡¯s sentiment. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t you think you regard Alex a little too high? I mean, yes, he¡¯s pretty decent in martial arts and has quite the expertise in medical skills, but other than that, What else? There are so many more people out there who can and will defeat him in a sparring match. I don¡¯t even think his medical skills are of use at all.¡± Keith rebuked, ¡°Foolish boy! Think for yourself! He acquired the Dragon Tusk Punch from Anna in just a few minutes. Is thatmon for a youngster like him to do? The Dragon Tusk Punch is Coleman¡¯s well-kept secret and is much more potent than our very own Slunce Jauda. Mr. Rockefeller was able to understand its essence and acquire it for himself in just a few exchanges. He could have already figured out an improvement for The Slunce Jauda, but after today, everything has gone to ruins!¡± ¡°Not just that, a doctor is someone who has a widework. Why do you think I chose Wace Yoke? It was all because of his connections. But¡­Only if I knew!¡± After a brief pause, he continued, ¡°We need topensate Mr. Rockefeller no matter what. Michelle, you should spend more time with him and build a good rapport. I will prepare the gift soon.¡± It was five in the evening when Alex arrived with the Life Pill, ready to be used. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 222 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 222 Michelle Yowell was at the door to greet Alex Rockefeller. ¡°You¡¯re fast!¡± Alex smiled. ¡°The faster, the better, right?¡± The Life Pill was rtively easy to concoctpared to the Chakra Pill. It took him a little over half an hour toplete the first batch. Instead ofing here immediately, he stayed on a little longer to concoct another batch of bone-strengthening pills. A bone-strengthening pill was used to increase the flexibility and strength of bones. Coupled with the Force, which was an insanely strong defense mechanism, he could possibly possess bones as strong as steel and skin as resilient as rubber. It appeared that punching a hole through a steel board with just a single blow was possible after all. ¡°Mr. Yowell, here¡¯s the Life Pill, as promised.¡± ¡°Take one now. You need to take it once a day, for three days consecutively. I guarantee that you will no longer have heart problems in the next five years.¡± Under the watchful eyes of the Yowells, Keith Yowell swallowed the pill in one gulp. Within just half an hourter, Keith stood up slowly with Alex¡¯s help. Colour started returning to his face, and he began to perk up, more energized. He was back to his old self. The Yowells were delighted and thoroughly amazed to discover the efficacy of the Life Pill. Keith bowed deeply and whipped out a document which was prepared earlier, before handing it to Alex. ¡°This is a little gratitude from me for saving my life. You have to ept it, please.¡± ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you open it?¡± Even though he had a rough idea of what it was, the contents of the document still took Alex by surprise. ¡°You call this a little gift?¡± Alex looked at it with a strange expression before returning it to Keith. It was a document detailing the unconditional transfer of fifty percent of the Yowell family¡¯s assets to Alex. Should he sign it, half of the Yowell family¡¯s assets would instantly be his. When Keith took out the document, it shocked everyone present at the site, including Colin. But they were even more astonished to see Alex declining the offer. How strong was his willpower to refuse such a lucrative gift? Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t have any financial issues at the moment, so I really thank you for this, but I can¡¯t ept it. If you¡¯re truly appreciative, why don¡¯t you help gather a few items for me?¡± Alex then took out a piece of paper and listed down a couple of items, mainly medicinal herbs that were extremely rare, which could be used to concoct his pills. The world¡¯s resources were currently overexploited, and these rare herbs were extremely hard toe by. The value of these items might even exceed Keith¡¯s assets that he wanted to give Alex. ¡°In exchange, I¡¯ve revised The Slunce Jauda. It should be safe to practice now. Also, since you are a lady, Michelle, I created another technique especially for you. But remember, without my consent, you cannot teach it to anyone else.¡± The Yowell family was thrilled to hear that. Michelle jumped up and down in delight and squealed, ¡°You¡¯re the best, Alex! I love you so much!¡± She then impulsively gave Alex a peck on his lips, much to the astonishment of Keith and the rest of the Yowells. Alex took advantage of the chaos and left quickly. It was six-thirty in the evening when he arrived at Jack Trent¡¯s residence to treat his wife¡¯s infertility. Upon entering, he bumped into someone he would rather not see. The opposite party was equally shocked to see him there as well. ¡°Why are you here?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 223 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 223 What a small world it was indeed! N?velDrama.Org owns this. Thedy was his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marite. She was dressed up well, but the bruise at the corner of her mouth was still very apparent, no matter how heavy her makeup was. Undoubtedly, she was beaten. Chloe was escorted away by the men from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate before this, and was sent to a brothel under Waltz Fleur¡¯s order. The brothel, on the other hand, had its standards as well. Upon inspection, they found out that she was infected with syphilis. After a rough round of beating, all they did was throw her out of the brothel. Even though she was safe, she was livid and med all of her misfortunes on Alex Rockefeller. Hence, the intense look of hatred in her eyes, piercing into Alex¡¯s. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, do you know her?¡± Jack Trent peered at Chloe and looked at them in surprise. Alex nodded. ¡°You could say so. Are you both rted, Mr. Trent?¡± ¡°Oh, nope. She¡¯s the daughter of my wife¡¯s employee. They dropped by for a visit today. Well, I sure am d you know each other!¡± Jack smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not good, Mr. Trent. I don¡¯t want anything to do with him,¡± said Chloe coldly. Jack was taken aback slightly at the remark, as his expression darkened. Meanwhile, Alex ignored Chloe and looked toward the twodies sitting on the couch. There was a rather attractivedy looking slightly in her early thirties, who was Jack¡¯s wife, while the other olderdy seemed to be Chloe¡¯s mother, as they both resembled each other. Observing the way they spoke to each other, Alex gathered that they were here today to butter someone up. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, allow me to introduce you to my wife, Leanne Graves. Thedy next to her is Tanya Marite.¡± Jack intentionally glossed over his introduction of Tanya after sensing that Chloe and Alex might not be exactly on the best terms. ¡°Darling, this is Mr. Rockefeller or Doctor Rockefeller, whom I told you about.¡± Leanne was already on her feet when Alex approached them. She was briefed by Jack about his identity prior to their meeting and quickly extended her hand. ¡°Thank you foring, Mr. Rockefeller. Please, have a seat! Would you like some tea?¡± The handshakested no more than half a second. Her skin was smooth and cool to touch. Immediately, Alex had an inkling of what was going on with Leanne. Tanya did not know who Alex was, but seeing both Jack and Leanne treating him with great respect, she kept a wide smile on her face. ¡°Hold on! Do you know who he actually is, Mr. and Mrs. Trent? He is a fraud and a scammer!¡± Chloe suddenly dashed forward and yelled. Both Jack and Leanne¡¯s expression darkened. Alex was their esteemed guest, and if he felt offended because of Chloe¡¯s antics, things would get a lot harder. Chloe and her mother, however, did not seem to realize that fact. ¡°You know him?¡± asked Tanya. Chloe scoffed with disgust in her voice, ¡°How could I not? He went to college with me and was the most inept, weakest fool I have ever seen. Don¡¯t you know his actual identity? It¡¯s okay, let me tell you then. He¡¯s Alex Rockefeller, and he has been married to Dorothy Assex quite some time ago. Unfortunately, he was banned from having any physical interactions with his wife and had to even serve her family, let alone being treated like garbage by his mother-inw.¡± ¡°Point is, how could this man possess any medical expertise? He is nothing but a fraud! If he really is a doctor, why is his mother still lying unconscious in the hospital?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 224 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 224 The more Chloe Marite spoke, the more exhrated she became, as Tanya merely looked at Alex in disgust Jack Trent, however, begged to differ. ¡°Shut up!¡± He yelled. Too engrossed in her own rhetoric, Chloe continued, ¡°Mr. Trent, stop being scammed by him! I know him well and he is nothing but a crooked man who lives off his wife! It is only a matter of time before he joins the rest of his n in prison!¡± Smack! Jack pped Chloe in her face in anger. Chloe was dumbfounded. ¡°Why hit me, Mr. Trent? It¡¯s him you should be hitting!¡± Tanya¡¯s eyes were wide open in shock, as she failed toprehend why Jack pped her daughter. However, Leanne was her boss so she forced herself to remain silent. ¡°You deserve to be hit! Didn¡¯t I tell you to shut your mouth? Who are you to insult Mr. Rockefeller, huh? Get on your knees and apologize to him right away! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make California a living hell for you to live in!¡± Jack was fuming. A shaken Chloe was puzzled and she only spoke the truth that was known to her. Gently interjecting, Tanya asked, ¡°Mr. Trent, do we have a misunderstanding here?¡± ¡°There is no misunderstanding. If your daughter doesn¡¯t apologize now, you don¡¯t need toe to work anymore,¡± said Leanne coldly. Tanya¡¯s legs almost gave way when she heard that. Both her husband and daughter were of no use as she was the sole breadwinner of the family. If she were to lose this job, they were done for. Realizing that, Tanya pped her daughter angrily and said, ¡°Get down on your knees and apologize now!¡± ¡°Mom! Why did you hit me too?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± , as she returned two more ps across Chloe¡¯s face. Alex looked on coldly. Chloe, to him, was ofplete irrelevance hence whatever she did would not affect him in any way whatsoever. ¡°Save the apologies. I don¡¯t like to get too close to a person with syphilis. They stink,¡± said Alex. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Syphilis? Instantly, Chloe became the center of attention. She quickly yelled back, ¡°No, you have syphilis! Your entire family has syphilis!¡± ¡°You were under so many types of antibiotics, but none of them helped, right? Not only that, you feel itchy down there, where it bleeds, has pus and it¡¯s skin forms tag-like growths, which hurts whenever you use the bathroom, am I right? This is an extremely severe case of syphilis,¡± Alex continued. Chloe¡¯s expression changed drastically as she cried out in humiliation, ¡°How did you know?¡± She then quickly came to an instant realization that she unintentionally exposed herself. Tanya¡¯s face turned a ghostly shade as she looked on, unable to speak. Alex continued, ¡°If I am correct, this is a mutated form of syphilis. Not just that, you¡¯ve been infected with a few other STDs too. Chloe Marite, is this how you treat your body? Get treated immediately and stop bringing harm to others!¡± How could Tanya and Chloe stay on any longer after being horribly humiliated by Alex? They left hastily. Jack, on the other hand, kept apologizing to Alex. Alex waved his hand and looked at Leanne. He then suddenly said, ¡°Madam, can you lift your shirt up for me to take a look at your belly?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 225 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 225 Leanne Graves could not help but feel embarrassed at Alex Rockefeller¡¯s request, as her husband, Jack Trent¡¯s face, twitched in difort. Although it was perfectly sound for a doctor to check the patient¡¯s body, Alex¡¯s sole reason foring over was specifically to treat Leanne¡¯s infertility. Noticing the couple¡¯s uneasiness, Alex realized he was a little too blunt. ¡°I would just like to have a closer inspection of your belly.¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ Should I leave you two alone?¡± Jack asked hesitantly. Leanne immediately red at her husband. ¡°Where are you going? I don¡¯t see you behaving like this when I had on my swimsuit, which exposed even more of my body.¡± She then lifted the bottom of her shirt, revealing her t belly. Alex took a closer look and realized something was off. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, did you see something?¡± Seeing Alex¡¯s deep frown, Jack could not help but feel anxious. Alex did not answer him but instead, moved his face closer and took a sniff. It was a rather embarrassing act, and a flustered Leanne looked toward her husband in resignation. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Even Jack was slightly annoyed. What exactly was Alex trying to do? Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take long for Alex to concur. ¡°I know what¡¯s wrong with you,¡± he said. ¡°Am I sick?¡± asked Leanne anxiously. ¡°Hold on, let me show you.¡± Alex whipped out his phone and turned on the shlight, much to the bewilderment of Jack and Leanne. He focused his Chi onto his fingertips and lightly tapped Leanne¡¯s belly. Leanne¡¯s abdominal muscles contracted in reaction, and suddenly, several silhouettes swiftly darted across, under her belly. ¡°What the hell is that?¡± Jack asked, shocked and disturbed. Leanne anxiously moved her hands around as she felt the movement of the shadows in her body. ¡°Is there something in my body? What is it? What is it? Darling¡­ Mr. Rockefeller? What on earth is that thing?¡± Alex tilted his head and looked at Leanne with a strange expression, ¡°Madam, have you ever been to Canyond? Or perhaps, have any of your close friends been from the region?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t think so.¡± Leanne shook her head. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, can you just tell us what the heck is that horrible thing? This is really freaking me out,¡± said Jack. Alex answered, ¡°Parasites.¡± What he did not mention was that the parasite in Leanne¡¯s body had been nted to stop her from getting impregnated by any other man, except by the one who nted it. In ancient times, the tribes in Canyond practiced polygamy. Men who were capable enough could marry as many women as they wished. That caused a wave of massive problems. With so many wives and offspring, how could one know if a child was actually his? To ensure a pure bloodline, this parasite was developed. And it could only be nted onto a woman by a man. It was weird that Leanne could be the victim of such a parasite. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 226 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 226 Leanne Grave did not seem to be lying when she answered Alex Rockefeller¡¯s question. ¡°Can you remove it, Mr. Rockefeller?¡± she anxiously asked. It was very frightening for anyone when they found out that they had parasites in their body. Alex thought for a while and replied, ¡°Yes, but not today. I need to prepare a few things before I can remove them. That being said, do not, I repeat, do not let anyone else know about this, okay? I do not know who nted the parasite, but if it is someone close, you will be in danger.¡± The couple looked at him in shock. To which Alex quicklyforted, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. From the looks of the parasite, I¡¯d say that it has been in your belly for two years. It doesn¡¯t really make a difference if we were to remove it a few dayster.¡± His thoughts quickly shed to a girl who was in Michelle Yowell¡¯s camp, Prisci Paytas. She possessed the Kyuhelios Pulse, and her blood was the bane of parasites. He needed her blood, which could then be used to make the antidote. ¡°Thank you so much, Mr. Rockefeller, we owe you so much!¡± A dismayed Leanne cried out in relief, as she then hastily took out a gift prepared earlier. It was a Patek Phillipe watch. Alex had seen the exact model before and knew it was priced at over two million dors or equivalent to a BMW M8. He declined profusely but to no avail. After all, two million dors did not mean anything to him now. Leanne put it onto her wrist and smiled. ¡°You look amazing with the watch on! I dare say even more so than my husband!¡± ¡°Wait, are you leaving me, darling?¡± Jack chuckled. ¡°Why, that is what I intend to do! ¡± Leanne teased back with a cheeky smirk. Suddenly, Alex¡¯s phone rang and it was from Cheryl Coney. He was immediately reminded of their previous call, the reason that the cold war between him and Dorothy Assex existed. He sighed and picked up. ¡°Are you free now, Alex?¡± Cheryl cut straight to the point. ¡°I am, what¡¯s up?¡± he replied. ¡°Have you seen the news today? We have several young female patients with very unusual conditions. I was in discussion with a few other experts, but we could note up with a sound conclusion. Could youe over to have a look?¡± Alex was surprised. ¡°What about your grandfather? Can¡¯t he help?¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No, he is out of state visiting friends as we speak.¡± ¡°I see. Well, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± After hanging up, Alex bid his goodbyes to Jack and Leanne before heading for Premier Hospital. On his way there, he quickly caught up on the news of those young female victims. Not long after, his phone rang. It was his wife, Dorothy, calling. ¡®That was quick, am I out of the woods now?¡¯, he thought as he picked up the call. ¡°Dorothy, are you still angry? I did not lie to you.¡± ¡°I am so sorry I wronged you, my darling. Can you forgive me? Well¡­ As an apology, I booked a presidential suite at the Landison Hotel tonight. Why don¡¯t we spend the night there?¡± The car screeched to a stop as Alex mmed his foot on the brake. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 227 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 227 Spending the night in a Presidential Suite as an apology? Wasn¡¯t that a thinly-veiled invitation for them to get intimate? Two more months to their first wedding anniversary, but he had yet to do it. He could pretend not to bother, but as a man, how long could he keep his act up? ¡°Sounds good!¡± Alex replied eagerly. ¡°Should I get us some stuff?¡± ¡°Stuff? What do we need?¡± Dorothy Assex asked coyly. ¡°Of course! Well, some protection¡­ Or perhaps, there is a, you know, kink you want to try out?¡± ¡°I¡­ Uhm¡­ I gotta go. Here¡¯s the address,e quick! I¡­ I love you.¡± Dorothy¡¯s heart was fluttering madly as she spoke those words, which she had never said before. Alex almost squealed in joy. He wanted to be at the Landison hotel as quick as his car could take him. However, he promised Cheryl Coney to check in on the patients. ¡°Darling, do you mind waiting for a while? I have some matters to attend at home. I will be theretest, by, say, nine-thirty?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Dorothy gingerly ced her phone down on the table and gently touched her flushed face. She immediately began packing for the night¡¯s stay at the hotel, like sensual lingerie she would be wearingter at night. Alex arrived at Premier Hospital thirty minutester. Cheryl seemed a little pale and drained. Immediately, she led Alex to the ER unit. ¡°Two hours ago, we received three more patients of simr conditions. Things are not looking good for them. Just today, two of the patients stopped breathing allT¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. of a sudden without any warning signs.¡± Alex followed right behind her without saying anything. A huge crowd gathered in front of the ER unit, holding various gadgets and equipment in their hands. They were reporters and journalists from various mediapanies in California. The exposure of this case attracted plenty of attention and became the headline of several news reports. It was the talk of the town and erupted all over social media, with people demanding the urgent arrest of the ones responsible. ¡°Wait a minute, Alex. You should put a mask on.¡± Cheryl stopped abruptly in her tracks and took out a mask. She put it on for Alex and said, ¡°There are a bunch of reporters in front. Some of them are quite shady. We don¡¯t want to get tangled in their questioning. Also, we have some families of the patients here who are a little emotional. Just follow me.¡± She grabbed his hand and strode forward. It was worse than what Alex imagined. The reporters immediately swamped onto them, as a woman in the crowd unexpectedly yanked Cheryl¡¯s mask off. She was instantly recognized. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the granddaughter of James Coney, the miracle doctor of California? Doctor Coney, can you tell us what is going on now?¡± ¡°Doctor Coney, we heard that two patients passed away this afternoon. How bad is the illness?¡± ¡°My daughter is inside. Can I see her?¡± These were a few of the more reasonable questions among the outrageous ones. ¡°Doctor Coney, is this man your boyfriend?¡± ¡°Is he a doctor too?¡± ¡°When are both getting married?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 228 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 228 Surrounded by so many people, Cheryl Coney found it extremely difficult to navigate out of the crowd. She yelled but to little effect as some even tried to take advantage of the chaos to touch her inappropriately. Alex Rockefeller let out a soft grunt, immediately releasing his Chi in a three-meter radius around his body. Nudged by a strong, invisible force, the crowd was pushed aside as they cleared the way for Alex and Cheryl. Upon entering Cheryl¡¯s office, Alex suddenly remembered that his phone was running out of battery. Afraid that he could not contact Dorothyter, he asked Cheryl to charge his phone. Momentster, a nurse came rushing by. ¡°Doctor Coney, the experts are here. Assistant Director Rashford wants you to attend the meeting.¡± ¡°Will be there.¡± Cheryl then turned her gaze toward Alex. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe with me too?¡± Alex had no objections. Before they left, Cheryl put on a doctor¡¯s gown on Alex so he could pretend to be her assistant. There were a dozen people present in the conference room when they arrived. They were busy talking to one another and heeded no attention to Alex. He picked up Cheryl¡¯s note and began reading. A middle-aged man with a beer belly came striding in. He let out a loud cough and only spoke when he got the attention of the room. ¡°Let us wee the experts from Michigan!¡± Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. And immediately, he started pping. Alex was caught by surprise. Why did the man start pping even before the entrance of his guests? ¡°He is the assistant director of Premier Hospital, Doctor Marcus Rashford, ¡± whispered Cheryl. In came seven people with a tall, young man walking in front. He was in histe twenties, wore ck- rimmed sses, and had a suit on. He was rather attractive as well and reminded many of a certain Hollywood star. Alex and Cheryl followed the crowd, pping their hands as well. That said, they were still deep in a discussion about the patients and their mysterious illness. Alex wanted to see the patients personally to make his verdict. The young man came onto them and looked at Cheryl with a smile. ¡°rence, it¡¯s you!¡± Cheryl was somewhat surprised to see him. rence Fawl was Cheryl¡¯s course mate in medical school, and they seemed to share a decent rtionship, judging by her reaction. rence looked at her with his gentle gaze and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Cheryl. We will catch up later.¡± The interaction attracted plenty of attention. He then went up in front as Assistant Director Rashford began introducing the expert team. Of course, he spent the most time introducing rence. Apparently, he held a double-doctorate from a prestigious medical school overseas and was also an important medical society member. Including those, he had received plenty of awards and was now the department head of a Michigan hospital. Anyway, he was a high achiever with countless awards and des. It came as quite a shock for the people present as they looked at him with a renewed sense of respect. rence seemed to be humble, but he looked at everyone with pride in his eyes. Resting his gaze on Cheryl, he silently promised that he would do whatever it took for Cheryl to be his bride. To his dismay, Cheryl¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t on him. Instead, she was busy whispering with a man. Lightly pinching the man with an embarrassed expression on her face, she looked like she enjoyed the interaction very much. rence¡¯s expressions ckened, and he blurted all of a sudden, ¡°Cheryl, can we know what you and your colleague are discussing right there? It¡¯s now brainstorming time on how to save the lives of the patients, and I can think of no better way to start it without you!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 229 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 229 Everyone instantly looked toward Cheryl Coney and Alex Rockefeller. As a doctor of the hospital and head of wards, they knew who Cheryl was. As for the man beside her, however¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t think I have seen this doctor before. Have you?¡± ¡°No, is he new here?¡± Of course, with Cheryl being James Coney¡¯s granddaughter, she wasn¡¯t worried at all that Alex¡¯s identity would be exposed. Nevertheless, rence Fawl looked at Alex with an unfriendly gaze. ¡°I suppose you know something, my friend? Can you tell us what it was, and perhaps introduce yourself?¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°I have not seen the patients, so I have noments.¡± ¡°Since you have not seen them, I wonder why you¡¯ve been allowed to attend the meeting? This is an emergency meeting, and we do not want any distractions,¡± said rence with feigned surprise. Meanwhile, assistant director Rashford went right up to Alex¡¯s face and stared him down. ¡°Who are you? Do you work here?¡± ¡°No, I do not,¡± Alex answered. ¡°Well then, how did you get in here? Oh, I know! You¡¯re trying to win Doctor Coney¡¯s affection, right? The audacity of youngsters these days scares me. Anyway, get out!¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. Everyone else in the meeting had a weird expression on their face as the corner of their mouths twitched. With a flushed expression, Cheryl got up on her feet instantly. ¡°Assistant Director Rashford, I brought him in to help us with the discussion of the treatment.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Marcus was taken aback by surprise. He knew that James was Cheryl¡¯s grandfather and wanted to let the whole issue slide. rence, however, did not. ¡°I see. Then you must be an excellent doctor! May I know where you ply your trade?¡± Obviously, the nature of his question was out of malice. It was an effective tactic, though, putting Alex under the spotlight and inciting the people to criticize him. Just as Cheryl was trying toe up with an excuse, Alex said, ¡°I do not work in a hospital.¡± He thought better of lying. ¡°Are you a medical researcher then?¡± ¡°No, I am not¡± ¡°Or perhaps a professor, or even just a top student in medical school?¡± ¡°No.¡± Cheryl was anxious. She tugged on Alex¡¯s shirt, motioning him to stop talking and to let her handle the interaction. That, however, only served to deepen rence¡¯s jealousy. He had always liked Cheryl and had his attention on her for quite a while now, his efforts all this while was so that he could finally attract her attention. Perhaps she would reciprocate his feelings if she saw how sessful he¡¯d be. Yet, she¡¯d rather whisper in somebody else¡¯s ear. ¡°My good sir, are you a conman?¡± The smile on rence¡®s face vanished as arrogance and extreme disdain crept into his eyes. ¡°You think you are a millionaire just by wearing a Patek Phillipe on your wrist? Cheryl, you are too innocent, be careful not to fall into his trap!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 230 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 230 The crowd looked at Alex Rockefeller¡¯s wrist, and lo and behold, it really was a Patek Phillippe watch. Yet, the clothes on his body were cheap, mass-produced merchandise. The watch didn¡¯t match his look at all. And then, they came to a realization. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alex wasn¡¯t a doctor but a conman who managed to trick Cheryl with his fake watch and identity. As the prettiest doctor in the hospital, Cheryl was wildly popr among the male doctors. ¡°I have never seen a conman who could scam his way into a hospital¡¯s meeting! Get out, we don¡¯t want you here!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? Doctor Coney, you have to be careful of whom you talk to!¡± ¡°You know what, we have no right interfering in your personal life. But, it¡¯s outrageous that you bring non-medical personnel into the conference room!¡± A doctor, whose opportunity of being the department head had been shattered by Cheryl, could not stop criticizing. Alex looked at his wristwatch, not realizing that it would be a target of derision. ¡°This is genuine.¡± He looked around and said to Cheryl, ¡°Forget it. Why don¡¯t we check the patients out instead of wasting time here?¡± He stood up and got ready to leave. Indeed, he wanted to get done with the whole affair as soon as possible. After all, an exciting journey awaited him at Landison Hotel. ¡°Check the patients? Gosh, did I hear you correctly?¡± rence kept going on, ¡°Cheryl, where did you meet this strange man? You should keep your distance!¡± ¡°He is no conman, and the watch is genuine! The point is, he¡¯s an exceedingly aplished medical practitioner. Even my grandfather pays his respects to him!¡± The crowd was at a loss for words. renceughed. ¡°Aplished? An aplished fraudster, I¡¯d say! Everyone here is a professional in the medical field and can identify the authenticity of his skills at a nce. You are too naive, Cheryl, how dare you use the name of your grandfather all for this fraudster! If he knew about this, he would be very mad with you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m done with you! ¡± Cheryl stomped her feet and called out to Alex, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Stop! Only certain people can attend to the patients, and he sure isn¡¯t one of them!¡± rence was livid to see them holding hands. ¡°Our team calls the shots now, and I forbid you from seeing the patients! Get out of my sight!¡± He pointed at Alex with rage burning in his eyes. The doors to the conference room opened the moment Lucifer North entered, followed by an old man and two middle-aged men. Alex stood right in front of the doors when they opened, surprised to see who had arrived. It was Wace York. Lucifer entered and started announcing in excitement, ¡°Please wee America¡¯s imperial doctor, the man whose hands have raised the dead¡­ Doctor Wace York! Starting now, he will be leading the response team!¡± Everyone present stood up and pped as hard as they could. Wace¡¯s reputation spoke for itself and his presence felt like a dream to some in the room. With a smile across his face, Wace was just about to speak when he noticed Alex. His eyes lit up as he ran up to him and said, ¡°Sir, fancy meeting you here! It is an absolute honor to work with you!¡± The silence that followed was crushingly suffocating. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 231 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 231 ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®Mr. Yoke addressing him as ¡®sir¡¯? How old is this guy anyway? What makes him so special?¡¯ ¡®A liar, he¡¯s nothing but a liar! He¡¯s tricked both Cheryl and Mr. Yoke. I¡¯ll definitely expose your lies!¡¯ rence¡¯s thoughts roared in his heart. His expressions were twisted, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrobly. It was something he couldn¡¯t eptpletely. Cheryl, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked too. Wace¡¯s reputation far exceeded her grandfather¡¯s, not to mention that the two elderly men were somewhat acquainted too. James had mentioned multiple times that he was no match for Wace. His title as the best imperial doctor was well deserved. ¡®Even such an amazing doctor referred to Alex as ¡®Sir.¡¯ Just how skilled could Alex be?¡¯ Cheryl¡¯s heart pounded, her eyes filled with admiration. She continued to stare at Alex with a gentle gaze. The dean, Lucifer North, was stunned as well. He rushed over and asked, ¡°Mr. Yoke, this is¡­¡± Wace replied, ¡°Mr. Rockefeller is very skilled in medicine, far more skilled than I am! If Mr. Rockefeller is here to save the patients, I¡¯m happy to assist him.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Wait, holy sh*t!¡± Everyone gasped, seeing how it was an extreme shocker to them. It was as if they were in a dream. ¡®But you¡¯re the best imperial doctor!¡¯ What they didn¡¯t know, however, was that Wace had experienced a significant change at the Yowells. Keith had almost died due to his careless mistakes, and it was Alex who saved Keith with the sorcery of a witchdoctor. Since then, Wace had developed absolute respect for Alex. If Keith were to die there and then, Wace¡¯s mental state would have worsened drastically. It was unknown if he could ever regain his confidence to continue being a doctor. Lucifer couldn¡¯t respond for quite a while, and just as he was about to speak up, rence approached them. ¡°Hello, Mr. Yoke. I¡¯m rence Fawl from Michigan State Hospital. I¡¯m the leader of the Michigan team as well. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you. Sorry to ask, but perhaps you¡¯re mistaken, Mr. Yoke? This guy is no doctor, and he¡¯s a Wace¡¯s eyes widened. At that very moment, his arm flung across him, sending a p across rence¡¯ face. He fumed, ¡°Bullsh*t! Who the hell do you think you are, calling Mr. Rockefeller a fraud?¡± The p wasn¡¯t all that painful, but unable to bear the humiliation of being pped in front of a crowd, rence felt as if he was about to explode. However, he couldn¡¯t fight back since the one who pped him happened to be Wace Yoke. Alex spoke up. ¡°Mr. Yoke, how are you so hot-tempered at an age so advanced?¡± Wace replied, ¡°I couldn¡¯t help it. How dare this insolent brat insult you?¡± Alex smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t know him anyway. I¡¯m going to check up on the patients now. Would you like toe with me?¡± ¡°Yes! Of course! ¡± Wace looked overjoyed as if he really was Alex¡¯s sidekick At that, the other doctors became appalled. Alex walked out of the room, followed by Wace and Cheryl. The other doctors were irking to see what methods Alex was about to employ. Hence they followed along as well. Alex noticed that arge group of doctors was following him and felt the pressure in the atmosphere. ¡°We won¡¯t need so many people in the ward. Mr. Yoke, Cheryl, and I will suffice. Let¡¯s not bother the patients, shall we,¡± he said. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Wace turned around. ¡°Did you hear what Mr. Rockefeller said? Don¡¯t follow us.¡± He then turned to Cheryl. ¡°You look quite familiar, young doctor.¡± ¡°Mr. Yoke, do you not remember me? My grandpa is James Coney,¡± Cheryl replied. Wace smiled. ¡°Ah! You¡¯re Coney Monkey¡¯s granddaughter. Are you and Mr. Rockefeller¡­ dating? Cheryl took a nce at Alex and shook her head. ¡°No¡­¡± Wace pped his thigh out of excitement. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s great! That¡¯s just wonderful! I have two granddaughters, sir. One is ready for marriage, while the other is in her teens. I¡¯m not trying to praise my own granddaughters, but I can tell you that they are both gorgeous beauties. I¡¯ll introduce you some time. You can choose whoever you like. It¡¯d be even better if you like them both!¡± Cheryl¡¯s eyes almost bulged out in a stupor. At that moment, Cheryl¡¯s impression of the best imperial doctor had dropped drastically. ¡®Hmph! This old hag! How audacious, stealing my man like that! The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 232 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 232 After such a thought, she felt slightly embarrassed. Alex was a married man after all. Alex chuckled. ¡°Oh don¡¯t joke with me, Mr. Yoke. I¡¯m married.¡± Wace replied, ¡°So what if you¡¯re married? You can always get a divorce, right? And if you can¡¯t, you can change your nationality to be Arabian. I have connections to help with that¡± Both Alex and Cheryl fell silent. ¡®This old man is such a jester.¡¯ Within just a few moments, they arrived at the patients¡¯ ward. Since all of these patients were filed as special cases, they were all ced together in one ward. This was more convenient for the medics responsible for their checkups. The first patient that they saw was a petite young girl. Next to her was her mother. Her mother¡¯s eyes were red, she seemed to be on the edge of a mental breakdown. Who wouldn¡¯t treasure their children? Having her daughter fall victim to such disaster, she felt as if the world was copsing in front of her eyes. ¡°Her name is Rose Carson, a student from TBU of California. She¡¯s the study worse than the others¡­¡± Cheryl introduced under her breath. Upon hearing Cheryl¡¯s exnation, the mother started crying uncontrobly. ¡°Doctor, my daughter, how is she? Would she end up like the first two girls¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Rose¡¯s body started trembling. Her eyes were rolled back, and she started frothing at the mouth. ¡°Ahh! Doctor! Doctor! Help, please help her!¡± Cheryl immediately checked on the patient¡¯s condition. Just then, the line on the monitor beeped into a straight line. Everything happened so fast. Wace couldn¡¯t do anything to help the patient as well. Alex, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows. He saw the girl¡¯s soul leaving her body, it was very weak. He immediately took action. With just one hand, he grabbed onto the girl¡¯s soul and tried forcing it back into her body. ¡°Soul shift!¡± Just then, Alex could tell that the girl¡¯s Yin waspletely drained out, her body was on the verge of copsing. Hence, why her soul came out of her body as her body could no longer hold it in. He bit down on his finger and ced a drop of blood in between the girl¡¯s eyebrows. The girl¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t believe what she was witnessing. ¡°This¡­ What on earth is this?!¡± ¡°Who are you? Why are you rubbing your blood on my daughter¡¯s forehead? Isn¡¯t that dirty?¡± The mother yelled as she motioned to wipe the blood off. Wace immediately stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t wipe it off, this is to save your daughter.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. He turned to Alex with a shocked expression. ¡°Sir, is this the mythical Blood Lock in the Witch Doctor Series?¡± Alex raised his eyebrows at Wace, ¡°That¡¯s unexpected, you know the Blood Lock too. Looks like you¡¯ve done your research!¡± Wace was overjoyed, as if he found treasure. Cheryl, on the other hand, was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s a Blood Lock?¡± Alex¡¯s hands hadn¡¯t stopped moving the entire time. He pressed his palm onto the girl¡¯s chest, using his electrifying Chi straight to her heart and yelled. ¡°Rise!¡± There were quite a number of people in the ward as well. They had been staring at Alex intently, empathizing with the girl. They were either victims themselves or the family of said victims. Up till now, they had witnessed two deaths and just couldn¡¯t face yet another one. ¡°Did another person die?¡± ¡°Oh god, what would her mother do now? Which bastard did such a horrible thing to them? I really wish I could skin them alive and drain them of blood!¡± Someone couldn¡¯t bear it and started crying out loud. Suddenly, Rose¡¯s heart monitor started beeping. What was originally a straight line, regained activity. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 233 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 233 ¡°She¡¯s alive, she¡¯s revived! She¡¯s actually revived!¡± ¡°How did he do it? This doctor is amazing! I thought she was dead for sure!¡± The family of other patients rushed over as soon as Rose¡¯s heart started beating again. They pointed, and hush chattering quickly surrounded her bed. Cheryl stopped them. ¡°Please be quiet and give the patient some space.¡± Alex was able to sense the culprit within Rose¡¯s body, an extremely odd and hidden deadly Chi. It was this flow of deadly Chi that was destroying her body little by little. Her body was already weak as she was drained of Yin, and this flow of Chi had pulled her into the depths of hell. Cheryl could tell that Alex¡¯s expression was grim, as she quickly asked, ¡°What wrong? Did you figure something out? Can she be cured despite her condition?¡± Alex, however, didn¡¯t answer any of her questions. He replied with another question instead. ¡°Have the cops arrested the culprit?¡± Cheryl shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Wace added. ¡°I heard that the culprit is far from normal. An average person wouldn¡¯t be able to handle them. Oh, by the way, Anna is in charge of this case, that¡¯s why she¡¯s here. Would you like me to ask her about the details?¡± Alex replied, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. This culprit of this case is definitely not an average person.¡± Cheryl asked, ¡°Who¡¯s Anna?¡± Alex huffed. ¡°A woman with her eyes attached on top of her head. Don¡¯t mind her. I¡¯ll check on the other patients now. Then I¡¯lle up with a way to help them.¡± Since all the patients were in this same ward, it was easier for him to check on them quickly. It didn¡¯t take long for Alex to realise that every victim had a flow of deadly Chi within their bodies, surrounding their hearts, draining their lives away. All of the victims had a Their physical features were all unique from each other. Hence, that would mean the culprit didn¡¯t choose his victims ording to appearance. At the same time, Wace, who was the best imperial doctor, did not just stand back and merely watch from afar. He checked the pulses of a few patients and narrowed his eyes. ¡°This pulse is quite odd. Their bodies are weakening at such a fast pace. Yet, I can¡¯t seem to find any obvious lesions. The only way to save them, for now, is to rejuvenate the energy that they have lost. Saline solutions would not be enough.¡± Alex said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you prescribe some medicine?¡± Wace nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± He was able to write down a prescription in just a few minutes and quickly then handed the piece of paper to Alex. Frankly speaking, he was still slightlypetitive in nature. He admitted that he was no match for Alex when it came to the methods of witch doctors. However, he had been researching Chinese medicine his whole life and became the best Chinese medic because of his efforts, which he definitely took pride in. Wace refused to believe that the young Alex was able topete against him in his expertise. Even so, another strike to his ego blew in as fast as it could. Alex took a nce at the paper and picked up a pen immediately. He added a type of herb and crossed one out from the list. ¡°Mr. Yoke, what do you think about this?¡± Wace took three seconds to analyze the list and pped his thigh out of realization. ¡°Amazing, you really are amazing! How did I not think of that? I truly admire your skills, Sir.¡± Alex didn¡¯t seem cocky or arrogant. This wasn¡¯t his own research in the first ce. It was just knowledge his ancestor had passed down to him. The more he practiced his current skills, the more power he felt from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. ¡®Did that mean his ancestor was a god of this world?¡¯ ¡®Could it be that he had reached a higher realm?¡¯ This really was something to look forward to. After confirming the prescription, Cheryl rushed to herputer to print it out. Alex had told her to inform the pharmacists to begin to decoct the medicine immediately. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. It¡¯d be best if they were able to prepare the medication as soon as they could. Cheryl noticed that his expression remained grim the entire time. She knew she couldn¡¯t afford to waste any more time and rushed to her office to handle the prescriptions. On the other hand, a group of doctors was waiting outside of the ward. They wanted to see just how Alex, this celestial doctor, would be able to change these victim¡¯s fates. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 234 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 234 However, some of them were only there to see Alex go down with humiliation, especially rence. After being pped by Wace, he couldn¡¯t hold in his anger. ¡°That Rockefeller guy must be a liar. He¡¯s really skilled in his tricks. I have no idea how he managed to trick Mr. Yoke.¡± He said, visibly annoyed. He walked over to the two middle-aged men who came with Wace and asked, ¡°Do you know anything about that guy?¡± The two men were Wace¡¯s apprentices, and they were just as confused as well, as they have never seen Alex before. On the contrary, their master had always treated them harshly, supposedly as part of the training. Yet here he was, showing such adoration toward a young man, and they found it uneptable. One of them shook their heads. ¡°This is the first time we¡¯re meeting him. We didn¡¯t know that our country had Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. such a young, capable expert.¡± rence said, ¡°Then I was right. This guy must have used some sort of trick and fooled Mr. Yoke. He could¡¯ve used voodoo for all we know, like, hypnosis.¡± Everyone was puzzled, as everything felt too unreal. What felt even more surreal was to see Wace referring to Alex as ¡®Sir.¡¯ Even the best doctors in the hospital couldn¡¯t Noticing Cheryling out of the ward, the entire group of doctors rushed over. ¡°Ms. Coney, what¡¯s going on now? Have Mr. Wace and that doctor, Rockefeller, thought of a way to save the victims?¡± Lucifer asked. Cheryl nodded and waved the piece of paper in her hand. ¡°Alex just prescribed some medicine, so I¡¯ll be printing this out for the pharmacists to start the decoction. Alex said to have this done as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Let me have a look!¡± rence snatched the piece of paper out of Cheryl¡¯s hand. This had upset Cheryl gravely. Just then, rence smiled coldly. ¡°This isn¡¯t prescribed by Rockefeller. Mr. Yoke prescribed it! Look here, Mr. Yoke even wrote his signature at the bottom! Cheryl, I have no idea what¡¯s wrong with you. How could you be so blind? Did that liar really hypnotize you?¡± Hearing him insult Alex time over time, Cheryl was so angry that she snapped. ¡°rence Fawl, Alex is not a liar! I won¡¯t let you insult him! You have no idea how amazing he is. One of the patient¡¯s heart stopped beating just now. She almost died! He was the one who saved her! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go inside and see for yourself. Give me that prescription and don¡¯t waste my time!¡± Cheryl snatched the prescription back and rushed to her office. At the same time, Dorothy had arrived at Landison Hotel, refreshed after a nice shower. She was dressed in a strappy, ck nightgown and spritzed on an alluring scent. She stood in front of the mirror and observed herself for a moment. Seeing herself looking so gorgeous and flirtatious, her heart was pounding out of her chest. ¡®Would this be too bold?¡¯ ¡®He wouldn¡¯t think that I¡¯m easy, right?¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m definitely going down on him tonight.¡¯ It was almost time for them to meet, yet Alex was nowhere to be seen. She rolled around on the bed, staring at the box of adult supplies that the hotel had provided. Tracing her fingers along the box, she bit her cherry lips and kept it under the pillows. Impatient, she took out her phone and dialed Alex¡¯s number. Cheryl, on the other hand, was keying in the prescription to herputer. Suddenly, a ring echoed throughout her office. She looked towards the direction of the noise and realized it wasn¡¯t her phone that was ringing. It was Alex¡¯s. He had left it here to charge his battery. She ignored the call. After a brief while, it rang again. Upon a closer inspection, the contact read ¡®Wifey.¡¯ Cheryl pursed her lips, still refusing to pick it up. On the third ring, Cheryl didn¡¯t know what else to do. She was worried that something might have happened to Dorothy. She picked up the call and said, ¡°Hello? Alex is currently busy with something else.¡± Realizing it was Cheryl¡¯s voice, Dorothy¡¯s heart immediately sank to her stomach. ¡°Are you¡­ Cheryl Coney?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 235 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 235 Just then, Dorothy could feel every ounce of energy in her body draining away as her heart ran cold. She was so upset at that moment that tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She had wanted to give herself away to the man. She even wanted to pin him down and Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. go on top of him. She had imagined so many different scenarios in her head. Yet, she didn¡¯t think that the man would lie to her and be with some other woman. Dorothy wanted to hang up and block his contact right there and then. They wouldn¡¯t have to see each other ever again and live their separate lives from then on. Even so, her heart ached so much. She felt like she was suffocating. Tears trickled down her cheeks. ¡°What is he doing?¡± Dorothy asked without thinking. She felt stupid after asking such a question. ¡®What else could he be doing, for a woman to answer his phone at night? It was obvious that they had just done the deed!¡¯ However, Cheryl replied, ¡°He¡¯s doing his duty as a doctor. Do you need anything? If not, I¡¯m hanging up. I¡¯ll tell him to contact youter. I¡¯m busy now.¡± Dorothy wanted tough, despite her tears. ¡°Cheryl Coney, do you think I¡¯m some kind of idiot? I know Alex a million times better than you do. His duty as a doctor? Why don¡¯t you call him a gynecologist then? Can you be any more shameless?¡± Cheryl¡¯s hands stopped typing and froze mid-air. After a short pause, she said, ¡°Dorothy Assex, if you really want to think that way, I have nothing else to say to you. I¡¯d just like to say that you don¡¯t deserve him.¡± Cheryl then hung up the phone. Putting the phone aside, she continued to work on herputer. As the prescription was digitized, she rushed to the pharmacy and urged her colleagues to pace up. The victims were weak, and they were losing their energy with every ticking second. If she were to save even just one minute, the victims would have a higher chance of survival. Upon leaving her office, she initially wanted to remind Alex that his wife called. However, her anger was immediately triggered at the thought of Dorothy¡¯s words. ¡®How dare she speak of me like that? I¡¯ll just leave her on hold. I won¡¯t tell him for now. Hmph!¡¯ The dean and vice dean of the hospital, along with rence, rushed right into the ward. They were curious as to what Alex and Wace were doing in there, more so toward Alex. They wanted to know if he was really that skilled or just a mere liar. As soon as they entered the ward, they saw Alex, poking a female patient¡¯s body. More importantly, he was poking the heart. It seemed as if he was molesting the patient in others¡¯ eyes. ¡°Stop that!¡± rence yelled. He rushed up to Alex and pushed him away, scolding loudly. ¡°How inhumane are you? Are you the devil? The poor girl, she had already fallen victim to such a terrible fate. Yet here you are, making things worse, molesting them when they¡¯re helpless?! What kind of monster are you? Where¡¯s your sense of humanity?¡± He intentionally raised his voice to make it as loud as possible. rence wanted to let everyone know that Alex was a shameless and perverted liar. He knew that everyone would side with him, and that would shine Alex in a bad light. With rence¡¯s words, many in the ward started doubting Alex as well, since his methods were far too unorthodox for any average person toprehend. He wasn¡¯t acupuncturing nor massaging them, and it did seem as if he was just fooling around. ¡®This is clearly molestation!¡¯ However, none of them knew that Alex was actually using the Seven Needles of Exorcism to remove the deadly Chi within them. They would only be saved once this Chi was removedpletely. ¡°I don¡¯t have to exin anything to you, move!¡± Alex said coldly. He viewed rence as nothing more but a mere insignificant ant. He didn¡¯t mind crushing him after being bitten twice. Wace followed suit as well. ¡°Hey brat, are you trying to get fired? He told you to move! What is it that you don¡¯t understand?¡± A shocked rence replied, ¡°Mr. Yoke, have you be an old fool? Can you not tell that he¡¯s molesting them? What kind of medic does this? Can a few pokes save lives? This is literally molestation. We should arrest this disgusting monster!¡± ¡°Bullsh*t! You have no idea what you¡¯re talking about!¡± Wace had no idea what Alex was doing too, but he had seen Alex use such methods on Keith. It looked exactly the same, and they were actually gentle and straightforward. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 236 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 236 ¡°Uhm, doctor, are you sure that he¡¯s not treating the patient?¡± a middle-aged man asked. He was the father of one of the victims. His daughter was thest one to receive Alex¡¯s treatment. Hence the deadly Chi within her was yet to be removed. Everyone else¡¯s bodies had been cleared of the Chi except for her. rence looked determined. ¡°I¡¯m sure of it, I swear on my life!¡± The man already had doubts about Alex. ¡®How could such a young man be so skilled?¡¯ He turned to Alex and said, ¡°My daughter doesn¡¯t need your help. I could already tell that this was no treatment. You¡¯re obviously just trying to molest her. You¡¯re disgusting.¡± Alex¡¯s gaze turned cold. ¡°Are you sure? If your daughter doesn¡¯t receive treatment now, her life would be at risk.¡± The man was stern. ¡°I¡¯m very sure. Don¡¯t you dare curse my daughter. She doesn¡¯t need a liar like you to save her.¡± Alex shrugged, nodded, and left immediately. Since he was just here to help Cheryl out, providing treatment was just out of pure kindness. He was no savior, and so when someone chose death, he wouldn¡¯t be bothered to beg them to let him save them. Wace looked at the man, then towards rence. Letting out a scoff, he left the ward as well. Alex decided to look for Cheryl. He still remembered that he was about to have his first intimate date at Landison Hotel. Ashe looked at his watch, he realized it was time to leave. Just then, Cheryl had just exited the pharmacy too, holding a bag with a few ice cream cones. ¡°You¡¯re back! The medicine is getting made now. It¡¯ll be done in an hour,¡± Cheryl said as she took out an ice cream cone. ¡°I passed by a convenience store and bought these along the way. You can have one. Pick a vor!¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ That¡¯s alright. The patients are pretty much fine now. As for the medicine, have them take it once a day for a week straight.¡± Cheryl smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Cheryl and her colleagues had been busy figuring out a way to save these victims, yet none of their methods worked. And yet, Alex was able to save them so effortlessly in just a few hours. ¡®Why should such an amazing man be married to Dorothy? She wouldn¡¯t even let him sleep with her. Why should they stay together? They¡¯d be better off divorced.¡¯ With this thought, Cheryl unwrapped one of the ice cream cones and handed it to him. ¡°Just have one, I already bought it anyway!¡± Alex shook his head. ¡°Nah, I have to go.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not going to wait till the medication is done?¡± ¡°No, I still have something to do.¡± Cheryl could feel her heart sink. ¡°Then, just think of it as apanying me. It¡¯s kind of sad eating alone, you know?¡± Alex let out a chuckle and nodded in surrender. ¡°Alright, alright.¡± He grabbed the ice cream cone and took a few bites. However, his mind was distracted, imagining scenarios of what would happen in the hotel. He was so out of it that he ended up getting some ice cream on his cheeks. ¡°Hey you, you¡¯ve got ice cream on your face. You¡¯re such a child,¡± Cherylughed at him. ¡°Really? Where?¡± Alex was stunned. ¡°There. Come on, lean forward a little. I¡¯ll wipe it off for you.¡± Alex didn¡¯t think much and leaned towards Cheryl. Cheryl took a piece of tissue. However, having his face so near to hers made her heart pound like crazy. Her mind was slightly hazy. She couldn¡¯t think straight and kissed him. She kissed the ice cream off his cheek. Alex froze in his tracks. Just then, he could see someone standing at the door at the corner of his eye. It was his wife, Dorothy Assex. With this, the color drained from his face, and he froze just like an iceberg.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 237 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 237 Dorothy stood at the door, staring at the two. Her cold expression pierced Alex¡¯s heart, and he was terrified. She then turned around and left without a word. ¡°Dorothy! Dorothy!¡± Alex immediately chased after her, disappearing from the office. Cheryl walked to the door, watching Alex run off down the halls. She touched her face, ming herself, slightly regretting her actions. However, she was relieved after putting some thought into it. ¡®It¡¯s better if they get a divorce. Since they don¡¯t love each other, they shouldn¡¯t cause each other any more pain. If you don¡¯t know how to cherish this man, then I would!¡¯ She waltzed back into her office, still eating her ice cream and thinking about the kiss. Her face flushed once more. ¡®I was so bold!¡¯ ¡°Dorothy, please, let me exin!¡± Alex rushed out of the hospital and grabbed Dorothy¡¯s hand. Dorothy turned around and pped Alex across his face. The p was loud and crisp. ¡°What is there to exin? I saw it with my own eyes. I caught you red-handed, so how could you talk yourself out of it? I¡¯ve given you so many chances, yet you¡¯ve cheated on me over and over again. What more can I do?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t cheat.¡± Dorothy¡¯s eyes were red as tears started welling up. ¡°You didn¡¯t? Then was I hallucinating? Was that a ghost? You can try erasing that by gouging out my eyes! Let go! I said, let go of me! You disgust me!¡± Many people were walking down the streets at this hour. As Dorothy¡¯s voice was loud, it soon attracted a crowd. Everyone was disgusted by this cheater of a man. Many started pointing fingers, gossiping within themselves. ¡°Ugh, what a jerk! Even pigs are better than him. How could he cheat on such abeautiful wife? Is he blind or mentally ill?¡± ¡°He should be drowned in the sea.¡± ¡°He should be skinned alive before being drowned! ¡± ¡°Trash, he¡¯s such a bastard! I can¡¯t bear watching this anymore. Beat him, beat him up!¡± Some from amongst the crowd were triggered, and they seemed to be engulfed by anger as they lunged towards Alex. However, Alex stood still and activated his Chi, sending vibrations to their minds. Just then, Dorothy flung his hand away and ran off with a determined expression. She was able to reach a street by a river within a couple of seconds. Alex furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He knew that it wasn¡¯t safe here, especially at night. He tried chasing after her, yet he lost track of her. ¡°Dorothy! Dorothy!¡± He looked all over the ce, covering as much ground as he could. Alex was frustrated and started panicking, the reason he didn¡¯t notice the gentle breathing nearby. Dorothy just wanted to be alone at that time. She didn¡¯t want to see him, so she hid in a corner, and only emerged after Alex was far and had walked in the opposite direction. As she continued to walk alone, more tears welled up in her eyes. Her mind was still filled with the images she had just witnessed. Alex lowered his head, and Cheryl was T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. kissing him. From Dorothy¡¯s point of view, she thought that they were kissing on the lips. The image was so ironically beautiful. That was her husband, the man that she was prepared to give herself away to. ¡®Liar, liar! I¡¯ll never believe you! ¡¯ She walked around aimlessly in despair. After wandering for quite a while, she realized that her surroundings were unfamiliar. Turning into a pavilion, she noticed that a figure was standing in front of her. She thought it was Alex. However, upon a closer look, it was not. The man was wearing all ck and even had a ck cap on his head. Under the street light, she couldn¡¯t see his face, and it was blurry. What caught her attention was a woman lying next to her feet. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 238 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 238 The woman was squirming, trying to take off her clothes. Her jacket was already off at that point in time, and her foxy figure could be seen under the dim moonlight. They seemed to be in the middle of something. Dorothy was slightly taken aback. She apologized and turned around to leave. She thought she wouldn¡¯t get into trouble if she quickly walked away and pretended like nothing happened. However, the man in ck rushed towards her and blocked her way. ¡°Where are you going?¡± The man stared at Dorothy intently. His eyes lit up. With just a whiff, he could smell the fragrant scent of perfume on her body too. This was the effort that Dorothy had put in for Alex, and she had on a rather sexy dress too. Everything that she had done to impress Alex was now the main cause of her getting into trouble. She could tell that the man was up to no good. Backing away, she asked in a quivering voice, ¡°What¡­ what are you trying to do?¡± The man cackled. ¡°It¡¯s night time. What else would I be doing? Of course I¡¯m going down on the both of you! Ah, What luck. Not only did I get myself a sexy little cat, but I even bumped into such a gorgeous prize! Hahaha! I¡¯m going to enjoy every bit of this! Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you die. I¡¯ll¡­ toy with you a little more,¡± he smirked. Dorothy could feel her heart pounding out of her chest, and she was horrified. She had seen quite a few young women fall victim to such a fate on the news. ¡®Could I have bumped into this serial criminal?¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯te near me! My husband is nearby. He he¡¯s powerful! ¡± Dorothy quickly thought of Alex and she was desperate for him to be here right now, to save her. The man was not fazed. ¡°Your husband? Stop joking. You think I can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re still a virgin? You¡¯re full of Yin! How could you have a husband? Or maybe, your husband¡¯s a eunuch? If so, let me show you a whole new world. You¡¯d fall in love with me from now on.¡± ¡°Ah!!! Help!¡± Dorothy screamed, taking another step back. However, she tripped on something and fell to the ground with a thud. The woman that she spotted earlier had been squirming and rolling on the ground the whole time. She managed to get behind Dorothy, making weird noises. Her hands looked as if they were trying to rip her own pants apart. She looked like she had lost her mind. Seeing this had terrified Dorothy even more. Fearing for her life, she screamed as loud N?velDrama.Org owns this. as she could, ¡°Help! Help! Hubby! Please save me!¡± Cheating matters were no longer on the line here. The man in ck chuckled and smacked Dorothy on her neck, causing her to lose consciousness. He stood in ce, looking at the two women lying next to his feet. ¡°Both of them are beauties, hmn¡­ So who¡¯s first?¡± In the end, he decided to start with Dorothy as she was prettier after all. Chuckling, he reached his arms out to rip Dorothy¡¯s clothes off. Just then, a chilling voice rang in the man¡¯s ears. ¡°Don¡¯t you darey a finger on her.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± The man was startled, retracting his hands immediately. Hyper-aware of his situation, he immediately took a few steps back. A figure emerged from the clump of trees nearby. It was Alex, and be rushed over as soon as he heard Dorothy¡¯s voice. He was expressionless, yet his blood boiled with anger. He was d that he managed to get there before anything happened, or this might have just resulted in a tragedy. He mentally listed this man on his death list. Alex turned to look at Dorothy, who had been knocked out cold. He let out a deep sigh of relief and then turned to the woman who appeared deranged, still trying to rip her pants off. He was shocked. He knew this woman. It was Anne Coleman from the Divine Constabry. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 239 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 239 Alexid his eyes on Anne¡¯s body for a few seconds. After averting his gaze, he couldn¡¯t help but take another nce, fixating his eye on her for a few more seconds. ¡®This is too much for the eyes!¡¯ She looked even sexierpared to when she was wearing a bikini. At that moment, the man in ck was able to see Alex¡¯s face clearly. He realized that he was just an average person and didn¡¯t seem to radiate a fighter¡¯s aura. Relieved, he spat on the ground and said, ¡°F*ck, I thought it was someone from Divine Constabry again. I didn¡¯t expect a weakling. Who the f*ck are you, huh? How dare you try to butt into someone else¡¯s business?¡± He walked closer to Alex. The man had decided to kill this insensible fool with a single p and throw him into the river to feed the fishes. Alex stepped in closer as well, as his gazeid upon Dorothy. He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m her husband.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The man in ck froze and immediately burst out withughter. ¡°And I was wondering who the hell you were. So you¡¯re the husband of this gorgeous prize! I have a question for you, though. Are you a eunuch? Look at your alluring wife. How could you not want to eat her up? She¡¯s still a virgin up till now. That¡¯s good, that¡¯s very good actually. I have to thank you for allowing me to get my hands on such a beauty! How should I thank you, huh?¡± Alex replied coldly, ¡°Simple, just kill yourself.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ The man froze. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. At the same time, Anne had reached climax and had taken off her jeans, and he couldn¡¯t wait any longer either. Especially since he had two missions now. ¡°Enough chit chat, just go to hell!¡± The man said as he lunged towards Alex He was moving at the speed of lighting and was swinging his fist towards Alex¡¯s chest. ¡°Are you an Advanced Royal fighter?¡± Alex could tell his fighting rank, as he could sense a familiar and chilling energy within him. It was very simr to the deadly Chi within the victims¡¯ bodies. ¡°So it was you!!¡± Alex growled at the man, not dodging his attacks. Alex had wanted to test his defenses and to sense for himself that deadly Chi that emitted from his attacks. With a loud thud, a hard punchnded on Alex¡¯s body. The man was expecting Alex¡¯s heart to explode from the impact. He couldn¡¯t wait to see blood flowing down out of the seven orifices of Alex¡¯s face and watch him die on the spot. However, unexpectedly, it was as if Alex had turned into the hulk. Alex stood still. He hadn¡¯t even moved an inch. The man in ck could then feel the repercussions of his attacks, which he took pride in, backfiring at him as soon as he hit Alex Chi¡¯s deadly flow entered Alex¡¯s body as well, but it was diminished by Alex¡¯s Chi, disappearing into thin air. With a loud crack, the man¡¯s fingers were all fractured. ¡®How could this be?¡¯ the man thought as he writhed in pain. He simply couldn¡¯t believe what was happening. As he failed to kill Alex, he tried to make a run for it. Alex, however, swiftly grabbed him by his cap and hair, pulling him back to the crime scene. Alex was able to yank his cap off, along with arge chunk of hair that had been violently ripped off. Alex was once again extremely shocked as soon as he saw the culprit¡¯s face. This was also someone he knew. It was the shadow man who trained Trevor Newman from Green Dragons. He hade by California State University during the battle of the two N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. clubs. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Alex recognized him. Everything made sense now. This man was the lowest of the lowest within the shadowmen, who stole Yin from young women. It was now obvious why the victims had been drained of their Yin. Moreover, he even inserted a flow of deadly Chi into their bodies, gnawing away at their lives bit by bit. He was the absolute scum of mankind, undeserving of a single bit of forgiveness even if he died a hundred times over The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 240 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 240 As those thoughts crossed his mind, Alex could feel a deep, murderous intent surging within him. If Dorothy and Anne were to end up in the hands of this scum, they would have to endure a more painful fate than death itself. ¡°Die!¡± The man in ck attacked again, sending a punch toward Alex¡¯s throat. Before he could attack, though, Alex grabbed his fist with one hand and tightened his grip. The man¡¯s fist crackled, and every bone shattered into pieces. It was as if a steamroller had crushed it multiple times. Since the fingers¡¯ nerves were linked to the heart, the man yelped and howled from the excruciating and unbearable pain. He finally realized that he was up against an absolute beast. In front of Alex, his training and skills were made into aughing stock. ¡®Escape!¡¯ That was the only thing he could think of at the moment. That, unfortunately, was all but an idealistic scenario. In reality, Alex had already decided on killing the man. He had crossed Alex¡¯s bottom line and wouldn¡¯t be able to escape this easily. Crossing his bottom line meant only one thing- death. Dorothy was his bottom line. ¡°Do you really think you can escape?¡± Alex¡¯s eerily gentle voice sounded like the Grim Reaper. The man could only stumble a few steps before Alex grabbed him by the shoulder. With yet another loud crack, his scap was shattered as well. Alex used his electrifying Chi and pressed down on his shoulder. Within just a second, every vein in the man¡¯s body was swiftly decimated along with his core. The man spurted blood out from his mouth and lost consciousness. As he lifted his foot, Alex wanted to snap the man¡¯s neck into half, ready to stomp it into oblivion. Right at that moment, however, Anne shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t kill him!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Alex put down his leg and stared at Anne, who was now sitting up straight She looked the same as to when he had seen her in a bikini, but even so, she still seemed much more seductive now. Her face was flushed, and with clenched teeth, her body trembled as well. Not only did the man insert his deadly Chi into her body, but it appeared that she had been poisoned as well. ¡°Why? Do you have something going on with him? Did you volunteer?¡± Alex was not interested in Anne one bit, hence be decided to make fun of her, given the chance. ¡°You¡¯re such a jerk! ¡± Anne spat in rage. Nheless, she let out a soft moan after that. She even started fondling her breasts. This was all due to the effects of the poison, and she couldn¡¯t help herself. Alex¡¯s eyes were fixated on her as heughed softly. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s my fault for ruining your moment. I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± ¡°You¡­ Hey, don¡¯t go!¡± Anna started panicking. She bit down on her tongue, using sheer perseverance to keep herself sane. She felt extremely drained of energy and didn¡¯t know when she would lose her mind again. If another guy were toe over and lend a hand in her current state, she would be done for. Alex replied, ¡°It¡¯ste. Why would I stay here?¡± He gingerly picked up Dorothy, still unconscious at that time, his eyes gentle and loving. ¡°I¡¯m poisoned. Aren¡¯t you a celestial doctor of sorts? Get it out of me! I can¡¯t take it anymore¡­ Quickly!¡± Anne yelled as she continued trembling. ¡°This is possibly the worst way you could ask for help. I¡¯m not interested.¡± ¡°What? Oh, you jerk¡­ please, I¡¯m begging you, help me¡­¡± She could feel something welling up in her body again and knew she might lose her mind again in just a few moments. Alex shook his head, ¡°How insincere.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. A struggling Anne bit down on her lower lip till it started bleeding. She held her legs together as her expression twisted. She then clenched her teeth and moaned, ¡°Good¡­ good sir, my good brother, please sav¡­ F*ck me!¡± She initially wanted to ask him to save her, but the poison had affected her mind, and she sumbed to lust once again. Alex¡¯s heart jumped, he then reached an arm out and pressed it against her body. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 241 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 241 Anna Coleman lost all sense of rationality as soon as Alex Rockefeller¡¯s warm hand touched her. Her entire body shivered as she tried to wrap herself around him. At first, Alex wanted to give her the cure to disperse the poison in her body. But when she tried to cling to him with so much skin ship in front of Dorothy Assex, he didn¡¯t dare continue. Alex immediately pulled away. When he saw Anna behaving in an even more unbing way, he pped her across the face. Anna became slightly more aware of herself. ¡°What¡­ what happened to me?¡± She was still in a daze. ¡°You were being a sl*t,¡± Alex said bluntly. Anna was furious but her mind was still groggy, forcing her to beg for more. ¡°Oh, big boy. Hurry up and do it. Quickly¡­ Quickly!¡± She lost control of her rational mind again. Alex pped her once more. When Anna came back to her senses again, Alex quickly pressed his palm against her energy core. He began channeling his strong Chi energy into her. Anna¡¯s face turned red and her facial expression became twisted. She seemed to be suffering greatly. At some point, Anna felt as if she had reached her limits as she shouted loudly. Alex had forced the poison out of her body through her own urine. ¡°Alright. You¡¯re fine now!¡± He eximed before pulling away. Although he wasn¡¯t How did Anna feel? She was absolutely mad. Was she grateful? There was no way she could possibly be grateful. She wanted to kill Alex! ¡°I¡¯ve seen that man before in California College of Business. He¡¯s a Shadowman by the name of Trevor Newman, the leader of Green Dragons. He¡¯s likely the cause of all the victims¡¯ suffering in the hospital,¡± Alex said as he pointed at the man in ck on the ground. Then, he picked up Dorothy Assex and left. Anna looked down. She was still shivering. After ncing at the man in ck, she felt even more enraged. With nowhere else to vent her anger, she immediately walked up to the man and kicked and punched him. *** Half an hourter, Dorothy opened her eyes frantically. ¡°Help me, honey!¡± The first thing she saw was Alex¡¯s face up close. ¡°Why¡­ Why are you here?¡± She asked. After that, she realized she was lying on Alex¡¯sp, her body shaking back and forth. She noticed they were on a boat. Alex looked at her with a tender gaze. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to save you? Look, I¡¯m here. I saved you.¡± Dorothy sat upright and looked around. She noticed they were on a stationary boat in the river adjacent to the pedestrian¡¯s walk, but she had no idea who this boat belonged to. Dorothy suddenly pped him across the face. ¡°Who asked you to save me? Who gave you permission to save me? I don¡¯t need you to save me. Just let me die. Won¡¯t you be happier if I died? You can live happily ever after with that shameless female doctor.¡± Alex found it impossible to reason with women when they threw a fit like this. However, Alex didn¡¯t dare use his Chi energy either. ¡°I already told you. There¡¯s nothing between Cheryl and I¡­¡± ¡°You two address each other so intimately, you even kissed her. How can you call that nothing?¡± Dorothy asked. ¡°If hitting me will make you feel better, do it!¡± Alex eximed helplessly. p! ¡°Sh*t! Did you actually hit me?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Did you think l would hold back?¡± She replied. Dorothy pped Alex again.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 242 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 242 ¡°I love you,¡± Alex Rockefeller suddenly said as he looked at Dorothy Assex. p! ¡°I love you!¡± He repeated. p! This time, Alex chose not to speak. Instead, he hugged Dorothy right away. After an intense moment of struggling, Dorothy gave up. She started crying instead. ¡°You¡¯re a b*stard. You¡¯re a jerk. All you do is deny things.¡± Alex knew that after she cried, their argument would soone to pass. However, it wouldn¡¯t stoppletely. After a long while, Dorothy pped him again. Right after doing so, she kissed him. ¡°I hate you. Don¡¯t even think for a second that I¡¯m letting this go just because you¡¯re denying it,¡± she said. ¡°I really didn¡¯t do anything with her! Perhaps she saw you and intentionally wanted to make you upset. She didn¡¯t actually kiss me. It was just an issue with the angle, and you thought we kissed from your perspective!¡± Alex eximed. That was the only thing he could say. ¡°Is that so?¡± Dorothy seemed swayed by his story. ¡°Absolutely. Why did you have to yell at her? She¡¯s holding a grudge now,¡± Alex said. ¡°In that case, you are not allowed to see her again,¡± Dorothy said. ¡°Of course. I only have eyes for you,¡± Alex said. He needed to be thick-skinned to please Dorothy. Being honest and straightforward was not a good strategy. That¡¯s something only a fool would do. Alex personally learned this lesson before. ¡°What about the presidential suite? Do we still have it?¡± Alex asked. He was not going to give up such a superb benefit so easily. ¡°Of course. It¡¯s such an expensive room. I have never treated myself to something like this,¡± Dorothy said. ¡°Let¡¯s get going. What are we waiting for?¡± Alex said. ¡°Wait a second. What about that guy earlier? I suspect he¡¯s rted to the criminal on the news who harmed many youngdies. Also, there was another woman. Did you see her?¡± Dorothy suddenly remembered. ¡°The police came and took that fellow away. The woman was saved too,¡± Alex said. Although Dorothy felt that something was amiss when she heard this, she couldn¡¯t quite think of any other exnation. Hence, she stopped thinking about it. Very soon, the two of them arrived at Radison Hotel and walked into their room. Alex couldn¡¯t wait to take his wife to bed, but Dorothy pushed him away. ¡°Take a shower!¡± By the time Alex came out of the bathroom, Dorothy seemed to have transformed into someone else. Five minutester, Dorothy held Alex¡¯s hand. ¡°Honey, I am your real wife from now on. Nobody will ever say that you can¡¯t get into bed with me, and nobody can say I refused to sleep with you.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t have to say something cheesy like that.¡± Alex felt speechless. ¡°Honey, love me,¡± Dorothy said and kissed him. Her sentence seemed to have ignited a me in Alex. Just as he thought they were about to have sex atst, Dorothy¡¯s phone started ringing. What bad timing. At first, Alex wanted to ignore it and wait until they had finished having However, the phone wouldn¡¯t stop ringing, and it really affected their mood. ¡°We should pick it up! ¡± Dorothy said. Alex nodded. When he looked at the screen, he could see that it was a call from ire Assex. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s up?¡± Dorothy picked up and asked. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Are you asking me what¡¯s up? Where are you? Why did you leave in the middle of the night? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to leave the house at night? But you disappeared in the middle of the night anyway. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Where are you? Tell me, quickly.¡± ire didn¡¯t sound very happy. ¡°Mother, I haven¡¯t gone anywhere I shouldn¡¯t. It¡¯s very safe here,¡± Dorothy said. ¡°What do you mean ¡®safe¡¯? How could a pretty girl like you stay out at night? How could you be safe?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I¡­ I¡¯m with Alex?¡± Dorothy replied. ¡°What? You¡¯re with that piece of trash. What are you two doing together in the middle of the night? Did you go to a hotel? Do you want to die? Hurry up ande home!¡± ire eximed. ¡°Mother, Alex is my husband. So, what if I went to a hotel with him? It¡¯s legal,¡± Dorothy said angrily. ire was going mad. ¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s legal or not. You can¡¯t do it without my agreement! What did that piece of trash do to deserve you? He has no money and no way of providing for you. I don¡¯t approve of a son- inw like him. Come back right now. If you don¡¯te back, and end up sleeping with him, I¡¯ll kill myself. I¡¯m going to get a knife right now. You can deal with my dead body when you get back.¡± Then, Dorothy heard Beatrice Assex¡¯s voice. ¡°Sister, Mother really is holding a knife to her neck. Hurry up ande back!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 243 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 243 After the call with ire Assex, Alex Rockefeller started yelling. ¡°I must have been indebted to your mother in my past life. That¡¯s why I have a mother-inw like her now.¡± Alex couldn¡¯t take it anymore! Dorothy Assex blinked several times. ¡°Don¡¯t be mad. Why don¡¯t we¡­ Continue doing it?¡± She asked. Alex really wanted to do it. They were so close, but ire was throwing a fit with a knife to her neck. Although Dorothy said they could continue their moment of intimacy, she couldn¡¯t hide the look of concern in her eyes. Besides, after all that drama, Alex was no longer in the mood for sex. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s go back and check on her!¡± Alex sighed. ¡°Even if we try to continue now, the mood has been spoiled. We¡¯re both doing it for the first time, we shouldn¡¯t let stuff like this make it a regretful experience. Don¡¯t worry about it. We¡¯ll make it perfect the next time. We¡¯ve still got a lot of time ahead of us. What¡¯s the rush?¡± Alex added. ¡°Thank you, honey! ¡± Dorothy said. ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. I can tolerate your mother for your sake,¡± Alex said. The two of them quickly packed up and checked out of the hotel before rushing to Assex Vi. Even before entering the vi, they could hear ire yelling awful things loudly. ¡°That Rockefeller guy is a piece of trash. If he dares to do anything to Dorothy, I won¡¯t forgive him. I¡¯m going to cut him up into pieces and feed him to the dog.¡± Lady Dorothy pushed the door open angrily. ¡°Mother, what do you want? I¡¯m already married. Alex is my husband byw. Why is there a problem for us to sleep together? Do you want me to stay a virgin for the rest of my life?¡± She asked. ¡°Did you lose your virginity?¡± This was the first thing ire said. Alex was rather speechless. He couldn¡¯t stand watching ire throwing a tantrum here. ¡°Honey, I¡¯m going to leave. Let¡¯s keep in touch over the phone,¡± Alex said. ire was instantly triggered. ¡°What did you call her? What right do you have to call her that? Also, I¡¯m warning you. Don¡¯ t even think of having sex with Dorothy. A useless bugger like you doesn¡¯t deserve her,¡± Madame ire said. Alex wanted to ignore ire at first, but what she said really annoyed him. ¡°ire Assex, don¡¯t you just want money and power? You only look down on me because I threw Rockefeller Group away, isn¡¯t that so? So tell me then, what kind of man deserves Dorothy?¡± ¡°What kind of man? I¡¯ll tell you right now. Rockefeller Group¡¯s young president, Spark Rockefeller is the only man worthy of Dorothy,¡± ire said arrogantly. ¡°Spark Rockefeller? Hmph, he¡¯s worthless in my eyes.¡± Alexughed coldly. ¡°That¡¯s funny. You¡¯re worse than a piece of sh*t in Spark¡¯s eyes,¡± ire retorted. ¡°Very well! The day I have Rockefeller Group under my feet and get all my stuff back will be the day I sleep with Dorothy. If you still don¡¯ t get off my back when that happens, don¡¯t me me for being harsh on you,¡± Alex said before turning around and leaving. ire stomped her feet on the ground in the vi. ¡°Look at him. Is this the man you adore? I¡¯m your mother. Look at how he treats me. Did he just threaten me? Why doesn¡¯t he just go to hell already? How does he think he¡¯s going to bring Rockefeller Group down? Did he mean to do that in his dreams? Get a divorce, Dorothy. You must T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. divorce him. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to die from a stroke,¡± ire fumed. Lady Dorothy went upstairs to sleep right away. She didn¡¯t say a word the entire night. The next morning, Alex proceeded to make pills in the basement. He had stored half of the ingredients the Yowell family gave him. After making a pot of Bone Strengthening Pills, Alex was still left with a lot of ingredients. Two hourster, he sessfully made a pot of Blood Energy Pills. Blood Energy Pills were slightly inferior to Bone Strengthening Pills. Since Alex was blessed with divine energy from his ancestors, he had no use for such low-grade pills. However, these pills were still quite effective for Royal or Mystic rank martial artists. His main objective in making these pills was to give them to Brittany Rockefeller and Waltz Fleur. Moreover, he also decided to teach the Silver Frost technique to Maya Howards. However, this was the first time he sessfully made Blood Energy Pills. Hence, he needed to test it out himself to see if they were effective. He casually tossed one of the pills into his mouth and it melted immediately. Soon, Alex could feel a warm stream of energy flowing through his body. In fact, it seemed to nourish his energy core¡¯s Chi, replenishing what he had used up to make pills earlier. ¡°Blood Energy Pills actually speed up the recovery of blood energy and Chi.¡± Alex murmured to himself. He hadn¡¯t noticed this before, it only came to his attention after he personally consumed the pill. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 244 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 244 ¡®The manufacturing cost of Blood Energy Pills isn¡¯t too much. In fact, the rate of efficiency of making these pills is quite high. I was able to make thirty pills in a single pot. In the future, I ought to make a lot more and keep them around just in case they¡¯re needed.¡¯ Alex Rockefeller was lost in thought as he walked out from the basement. He suddenly bumped into Maya Howards. After resigning from Dorothy Assex¡¯spany, Maya seemed to have changed the way she dressed. Now, she wore extremely short pants that showed part of her butt. She also had on a pair of thin, gray leggings that highlighted her long and attractive legs. Although Alex didn¡¯t have a thing for legs, he was still mesmerized by the sight. ¡°Alex,e help me out with moving stuff.¡± Maya waved at Alex before pointing at the trunk of her Benz. When Alex got closer, he could smell something fragrant. It wasn¡¯t the smell of perfume. Instead, it was something natural. People who had physical characteristics like this were very rare, but Maya happened to be one of them. After exercising, the scent grew even stronger, and it was tantalizing to say the least. ¡°That¡¯s a lot of stuff. Are you moving here for good?¡± Alex asked sarcastically. ¡°Yeah. Am I not wee?¡± Maya asked. ¡°Ahem. Of course, you are.¡± However, in reality, she wasn¡¯t really moving in. The truth was that she was going over to Michigan next week so she was going to terminate her rental contract in her previous ce. Indeed, she had always been renting in California because she wasn¡¯t from the area. Her original home was in North Tokyo. Maya didn¡¯t have many rtives back in North Tokyo and her parents spent most of their time overseas and were rarely home anyway. She didn¡¯t seem very close to them. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me before that you were moving so much stuff? I could¡¯ve helped you!¡± Alex eximed. ¡°You should be embarrassed. I tried calling you on the phone, but you didn¡¯t pick up. Did you block my number?¡± Maya rolled her eyes. ¡°How¡¯s that possible? My phone¡­ ¡± Alex trailed off. Suddenly, he recalled that his phone was still in Cheryl Coney¡¯s office! ¡°Ouch. My waist hurts a little. I identally hurt myself when I was walking up the T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. stairs,¡± Maya said. ¡°Do you want me to help you with that?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Can you actually fix this too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s no big deal.¡± ¡°Sure. You can help me with it, but don¡¯t make it worse.¡± Maya warned. Alex immediately agreed and asked Maya to lie on the couch. However, Alex nearly fainted at the sight of her long legs sped tightly together. It was the most wonderful sight he had ever seen. After trying very hard to calm himself down, Alex used his Chi to massage her. Later on, he activated the Silver Frost technique for her. After giving her a few pills to swallow, the sound of her bones shifting back in ce could be heard. Maya was shocked. Suddenly, she couldn¡¯t hold her fart in anymore and farted loudly. Her face immediately turned red. She wanted to hide in a hole somewhere. Of course, this had happened because of the pills Alex gave her. ¡°Your fart was so strong that your pants nearly came apart!¡± Alexughed loudly. Maya was too embarrassed to lie still. She quickly got up and ran away. An hourter, Alex quickly rushed over to Premier Hospital in California. The woman who didn¡¯t receive Alex¡¯s treatment of Seven Needles of Exorcism was now experiencing a significant change in her condition. Her entire body was spasming and she was frothing at the mouth. It seemed quite simr to what Rose Carson had experienced the day before. The woman¡¯s father was panicking. He pulled rence Fawl aside and started questioning him loudly. ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s going on with my daughter? Why is this happening all of a sudden? Why are all the other patients fine but not my daughter? Exin yourself!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 245 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 245 rence Fawl grew impatient when the man forcefully tugged at his shirt. ¡°What exnation do you want? Your daughter¡¯s situation became worse because her body is weak. Everyone else is fine. Why is your daughter the only one experiencing those symptoms? You should ask yourself if you¡¯ve been a good parent,¡± rence said. ¡°What did you say?¡± The man was enraged and wanted to hit rence. However, he knew how strict a ce the hospital was. Hence, he suppressed his emotions. However, his daughter¡¯s situation was getting worse. Her body continued to experience spasms. Meanwhile, the monitoring device showed that her blood pressure had dropped below the safe level. An rm went off and doctors immediately showed up for an emergency rescue. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Meanwhile, family members of other victims shook their heads and spoke. ¡°It must have been because your daughter wasn¡¯t treated by the legendary doctor yesterday. Otherwise, why are our family members fine? In fact, their conditions are rapidly improving. Your daughter, on the other hand, is experiencing difficulties. You shouldn¡¯t have stopped him yesterday.¡± ¡°Yeah. That doctor is very capable. Rose Carson¡¯s heart had stopped beating yesterday, but he managed to save Rose¡¯s life.¡± ¡°Also, I heard that the old man who came with that doctor yesterday is the best doctor in the world from North Tokyo.¡± The man had previously been suspicious of the legendary doctor yesterday. Now that he had heard what everyone said, he felt extremely regretful. His daughter was in critical condition and things didn¡¯t look like they were getting any better. Despite the doctors working hard to help her, it was to no avail. Frantic, the man charged over to rence Fawl and started pping him on both sides of his face repeatedly until his nose bled. ¡°You¡¯re a murderer! If it weren¡¯t for you, why would I have refused the legendary doctor¡¯s help yesterday? It¡¯s your fault my daughter ended up like this. If anything happens to her, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He screamed. ¡°Bullsh*t! That fellow from yesterday isn¡¯t even a doctor. I asked someone to do a background check on him. He isn¡¯t even medically trained. He¡¯s just a useless con artist. You¡¯ve all been fooled by him,¡± rence shouted. rence was secretly jealous of Alex Rockefeller, and already convinced himself of Alex as a con artist from the beginning. That¡¯s why he stayed up all night asking people to check on Alex. And rence did end up finding out quite a lot about Alex. rence formd out that Alex had been married long ago and that he wasn¡¯t Cheryl Coney¡¯s boyfriend. He was extremely happy to hear that. In fact, he even made a reservation for two in a high-end restaurant today. He was prepared to propose to Cheryl. However, he didn¡¯t expect to be pped by this darned patient¡¯s family member. It might affect his glossy image. Meanwhile, Alex had just arrived at Cheryl¡¯s office. To his surprise, she had also just arrived. In fact, she had very visible dark eye circles, and she seemed exhausted. ¡°Hey, did you stay up against night?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Alex¡­ Last night¡­ Were you alright?¡± Cheryl froze when she saw him. When Alex was leaving yesterday, Cheryl didn¡¯t care much. However, she felt bad after that. She was worried that she would be med for ruining Alex¡¯s marriage. Hence, she ended up suffering from insomnia thinking about such things. Alex chuckled. ¡°Did you stay up because you were worried about this? Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s fine. But please don¡¯t pull a prank like that on me again. My life would really be at risk.¡± Cheryl let out a sigh of relief, but she started feeling a little ufortable. Dorothy Assex, aren¡¯t you rather easy to please?¡¯ Cheryl thought to herself. Alex picked up his phone and was prepared to leave. He had to help Leanne Graves remove the parasite in her lower abdomen. He also needed to extract Prisci Paytas¡¯ blood to be used as a medicinal primer. However, to find Prisci Paytas, he needed Michelle Yowell¡¯s help. However, a nurse suddenly came running in. ¡°Dr. Coney, one of the patients is in a critical condition. We¡¯ve tried to carry out an emergency rescue, but it looks like she won¡¯t be able to live much longer.¡± Cheryl quickly ran out. Alex¡¯s heart pounded. He figured that it was probably the woman who didn¡¯t receive his treatmentst night. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow Cheryl. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 246 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 246 After taking a look, Alex Rockefeller could tell that it was indeed the young woman from previously. Rose¡¯s soul nearly left her body. ¡°Ahh¡­ The legendary doctor is here! The legendary doctor is here!¡± Somebody recognized Alex and immediately started shouting. The man who was fighting with rence Fawl pushed rence away before kneeling down in front of Alex and pping himself across the face. ¡°Legendary doctor, please save my daughter! It was my fault yesterday for doubting your abilities. I shouldn¡¯t have believed that murderer.¡± rence rushed over to them. ¡°Who did you call a murderer? I¡¯m going to sue you for defamation if you don¡¯t stop saying that. I¡¯m telling you, he¡¯s the murderer. Look, he¡¯s not even a doctor. Ask him if he has the qualifications to practice medicine. I¡¯m sure he doesn¡¯t. He¡¯s never even been to medical school. He¡¯s just a fraud.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, rence! Alex saved so many people yesterday. Didn¡¯t you see?¡± Cheryl shouted angrily. ¡°Cheryl, you¡¯ve been tricked. This fellow has long been married. He has a wife by the name of Dorothy Assex. They went to university together. Don¡¯t be fooled by him! This Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. b*stard has no good intentions.¡± ¡°Did you investigate me?¡± Alex¡¯s gaze turned cold. rence snorted. ¡°So what if I did? Do you admit it? Admit that you¡¯re a fraud. It¡¯s ridiculous that you im to be a legendary doctor. You don¡¯t even have the qualifications to practice medicine. Believe it or not, I can make a single call and send you to prison right away. Practicing medicine illegally is a punishable crime.¡± Right then, someone ran over and pped rence across the face. It was the old but strong Wace Yoke. ¡°It¡¯s you again, you little twat. You keep making Mr. Rockefeller angry. What¡¯s your motive? What¡¯s the big deal about having the qualifications to practice medicine? I don¡¯t have the qualifications either. Why don¡¯t you make a call and get someone to imprison me?¡± Wace shouted angrily. Wace was known to be the best doctor in the world. Who would dare to ask him to provide qualifications to practice medicine? rence was close to tears. In his mind, Wace was dumb enough to be fooled but still side with the person who fooled him. ¡°Wace, you must believe me. He really is a fraud. He doesn¡¯t have any medical skills.¡± ¡°Do you think you have better medical skills? Even I, Wace Yoke, must bow down to Mr. Rockefeller. How dare you insult him? I¡¯ve got your name down. Be ready to be cklisted in the medical field.¡± Wace threatened. ¡®What?¡¯ rence was horrified. If Wace really put the news out there that rence was to be cklisted, his career would be over. Which hospital would ever hire him again? Wouldn¡¯t all his years of studying go to waste? Right then, the woman¡¯s vital signs became dire. If Alex didn¡¯t help her, the deadly energy in her body wouldpletely destroy her from the inside. Her life was on the line. ¡®I really am too kind!¡¯ Alex thought to himself as he sighed before pushing rence away. He walked over to the female patient and ced his palm on her body. Instantly, he absorbed the deadly energy in her body. Ten secondster, everyone watched in stunned silence as the woman¡¯s vital signs returned to normal. Since Alex had decided to help the woman the best he could, be retrieved a Blood Energy Pill and fed it to her. One minuteter, the woman jumped out of her bed and into the arms of her father. ¡°Dad!¡± She cried out. Every medical staff in the room was dumbfounded. ¡°He¡¯s a legendary doctor!¡± ¡°He really is a legendary doctor!¡± By the time the crowd recovered from shock and looked around for Alex, he was already nowhere to be found. Alex had long left the ward. He was on a call with Michelle Yowell. ¡°Michelle, how do I find Prisci Paytas?¡± ¡°Have you actually fallen for her?¡± Michelle asked. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 247 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 247 Indeed, Michelle Yowell had a different thought processpared to others. ¡°Jack Trent¡¯s wife has been affected by a parasitic disease. I need Prisci Paytas¡¯ blood as a medicinal primer to create a potion that will remove the parasite from her body,¡± Alex Rockefeller said. Michelle immediately became interested and started asking more questions. Helplessly, Alex exined Leanne Graves¡¯ situation to Michelle from the beginning to end. Michelle patted her chest. ¡°Jack is part of the Yowell family too. If it¡¯s rted to his wife, I must certainly help. I can get you Prisci¡¯s blood, but can you tell me why it must be from her?¡± She asked. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you why. Prisci¡¯s body contains Kyuhelios Pulse. Her blood is the parasite¡¯s nemesis. Besides, if she practices your family¡¯s Slunce Jauda, she¡¯ll be able to achieve a lot in the future,¡± Alex said. ¡°Oh?¡± Michelle¡¯s eyeballs rolled around. An idea just urred to her. ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll give you a call once I get her blood,¡± Michelle said. Just as the call ended, someone suddenly ran forward and kneeled in front of Alex. He bowed down and started pping himself. Alex was shocked for a moment before he realized that the man was rence Fawl. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I was wrong. I was blind to see that you were a legendary doctor. I shouldn¡¯t have called you a fraud. Please forgive me!¡± He cried. Cheryl Coney and Wace Yoke soon came over. Cheryl whispered a few words into Alex¡¯s ear. Only then did he know that Wace was very upset with rence and had threatened to kick Wace out of the medical system. For Wace, doing something like this was easily aplished with the snap of a finger. Since rence¡¯s pleas with Wace wouldn¡¯t work, he had no choice but to beg Alex himself. ¡°Alex, although rence behaved a little too drastically before, he¡¯s still a pretty good doctor. Why don¡¯t we just let him off the hook?¡± Cheryl was a kind person. On top of that, she knew rence personally. Hence, she decided to put in a few good words for him. Alex nodded. ¡°Alright. Since you¡¯ve asked, I¡¯m fine with it. Wace, shall we let things slide this time?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Wace shouted at rence. Alex smiled. ¡°Wace, thank you for defending me. It¡¯s almost lunch time now. Why don¡¯t we have a meal together?¡± Alex asked. ¡°It would be my pleasure!¡± Wace eximed. ¡°Cheryl, let¡¯s eat together!¡± Alex said. They didn¡¯t go anywhere fancy. The restaurant they went to was located right next to the hospital. During the meal, Wace asked Alex all sorts of questions rted to the study of medicine. Alex replied to all his questions with a smile. Alex was not the kind of person who kept knowledge to himself. Medical knowledge was used to cure patients of illnesses. The more people knew about such knowledge, the greater the number of patients helped. So, why wouldn¡¯t he happily share his knowledge? Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have passed the knowledge of Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell to James Coney. Throughout the conversation, Cheryl listened intently even though she couldn¡¯t understand most of what they were discussing. However, her gaze as she looked at Alex became increasingly passionate and gentle. Meanwhile, rence was still crying but his eyes were filled with hatred. As a medical team leader back in Michigan, he had always been well respected and admired by many. At first, he thought that he could further establish himself by leaving Michigan. On top of that, he wished to propose to Cheryl and make her his wife. However, despite his high hopes, he didn¡¯t expect such an oue. He ended up being pped in front of countless bystanders, including his colleagues from Michigan. He had to kneel in front of Alex and p himself. It was way too embarrassing. He would never be able to hold his head up high in Michigan. ¡°I must have my revenge!¡± rence eximed. rence used to study in California, and he had quite a wide connection here. He immediately walked to a corner in the room and made a call. ¡°Jake, it¡¯s me, rence Fawl. I need you to take care of someone. I¡¯ll pay you a million dors once you get the job done.¡± *** During the meal, Alex¡¯s phone started ringing. When he saw that it was a call from Waltz Fleur, he immediately picked up. ¡°Waltz!¡± Alex said. ¡°Senior, I¡¯ve found out who killed Anthony Pattingson,¡± Waltz said. ¡°Oh? Who is it?¡± Alex¡¯s gaze turned sharp. ¡°Someone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center,¡± Waltz said. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ¡°What is that ce?¡± Alex had never even heard of it before. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 248 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 248 ¡°Where are you now? I¡¯ll take you there,¡± Waltz Fleur said. Alex Rockefeller shook his head. ¡°No. You have to stay with my mother. I don¡¯t trust anyone else! Just send someone else to take me instead,¡± he said. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll get Azure Storm to take you,¡± Waltz said. After the call ended, Alex lost his appetite. When Wace Yoke and Cheryl Coney heard that he had to deal with something else, they let him leave. Before Alex left, he and Wace exchanged numbers. When Cheryl saw how excited Wace was, she couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth andugh. Wace was giggling like an excited child despite being the best doctor known in the world. Alex paid for the bill at the counter before quickly walking out of the restaurant. Soon, Waltz Fleur sent Alex the address of Budweiser Martial Arts Center and told him that Azure was already on his way to pick him up. ¡°Alright. Tell him I¡¯ll be waiting for him at the ferry port at Tokyo Strait,¡± Alex said. Since Azure wasing over to pick him up, Alex couldn¡¯t be bothered to get his car from the hospital¡¯s basement parking lot. Alex continued to walk forward while he pondered. However, he suddenly sensed that he was being followed. ¡°Who could that be?¡± Alex¡¯s eyes glinnnered. He pretended not to be aware and turned around, intentionally walking to somewhere with less people. Finally, he stood still by a damaged wall and could tell that there were six people following him. ¡°You¡¯ve been following me for some time now. Show yourself!¡± Alex shouted. ¡°Hey, kid. You¡¯re pretty alert!¡± Six people surrounded Alex. The one who spoke was arge tall man who seemed to be around the size of Nichs Hudson. However, unlike Nichs who was fat, this man N?velDrama.Org owns this. was packed with muscles. The other five men didn¡¯t look very friendly either. These people had ill intentions! ¡°What do you want with me?¡± Alex asked with a frown. He wondered who had sent these people after him. They couldn¡¯t possibly be working for the Rockefeller family. Therge tall guy had a sinister smile on his face. His eyes narrowed. ¡°Nothing much. We just want to break your hands so that you¡¯ll remember not to get in trouble with just anyone.¡± ¡°Who asked you to do this?¡± Alex asked calmly. ¡°Enough talking. Let¡¯s go!¡± This man sure was decisive. He was getting straight down to business without even bothering to talk. Alex chuckled coldly and was about tosh out when a car suddenly came crashing into three of the men at high speed. They were sent flying against the wall and blood spilled out of their mouths and noses. Alex stood still. The moment the car sped over, he saw that the driver was Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± ¡°Jon, Hank, Freddy, are you alright?¡± Therge tall guy roared. However, he couldn¡¯t care less about Alex. Immediately, he turned around to look at the driver. Coincidentally, he saw Azure walking out of the car with a calm expression on his face. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, are you alright?¡± Azure looked at Alex and asked respectfully. Before, Azure would still be jealous because of Alex¡¯s rtionship with Waltz. But Waltz had grown so much stronger within a few days of being with Alex. On top of that, Alex had an unpredictable level of prowess. Hence, Azure no longer had such thoughts. He only had respect for Alex now. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Alex said. ¡°Who are they?¡± Azure looked at therge tall guy. Alex shook his head. ¡°I¡¯d like to find out too.¡± Azure charged towards therge tall guy, activating his powers as a Royal rank martial artist. With a few hits, he managed to beat up the guy pretty badly. ¡°Hey, Kid. I¡¯m an important person in Budweiser Martial Arts Center. How dare you hit me?¡± Therge guy yelled angrily. Azure was stunned for a moment. He immediately stepped on the guy¡¯s calf and broke it. ¡°This guy I¡¯m hitting is from Budweiser Martial Arts Center.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 249 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 249 Alex Rockefeller felt equally shocked. Coincidentally, he was looking for Budweiser Martial Arts Center to demand justice. He didn¡¯t expect someone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center toe looking for him. Could John Rockefeller really have hired people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center to attack Alex? But Alex couldn¡¯t quite figure out why he would do that. Back when Alex was in Rockefeller Manor, he destroyed over ten meters ofnd surface with a single stomp. The mighty powers he disyed would convince even a fool to not mess with him. Were these people sent here to die? ¡°Who asked you to attack me?¡± Alex asked. The fat guy gritted his teeth. ¡°I won¡¯t tell you. As long as you two little b*stards don¡¯t kill me today, I will have my revenge. You will regret ever messing with Budweiser Martial N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Arts Center.¡± Crack! Azure lifted his foot and stepped on the guy¡¯s other leg. This time, the bones in his leg had been thoroughly crushed. For Azure, one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld, breaking legs was merely fun and games. Azure chuckled coldly. ¡°Budweiser Martial Arts Center is nothing. Even your master, Robert Downie, wouldn¡¯t dare speak to me like this. How dare you threaten Mr. Rockefeller? I¡¯ll give you a chance to redeem yourself by telling us who ordered you to do this. Otherwise, I promise you won¡¯t live to see tomorrow!¡± Therge guy¡¯s body was hurting so badly that he was shivering all over. Only when Azure mentioned Robert¡¯s name did therge guy sense that something was amiss. ¡°Who¡­ who are you?¡± The guy¡¯s voice was trembling. ¡°I am Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate,¡± Azure said in a coolly. ¡°What? You¡¯re Azure Storm, one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld?¡± The guy was stunned. ¡°That¡¯s me!¡± Azure said proudly. The fat man felt immensely regretful right then. He was Jake Colter, a man rence Fawl had hired to teach Alex a lesson. rence told him that Alex was a useless piece of trash who depended on his wife and was good atmitting fraud. All Jake had to do was break his hands, and he would be paid one million dors. Jake thought this would have been easy money, but he didn¡¯t think he¡¯d end up meeting a god-like assassin like Azure. If he had known, he would have killed rence and fed his body to the hounds instead. Was this a tant setup? ¡°You have five seconds to decide. Tell me who ordered you to do this, or die! ¡± Azure said calmly. However, to Jake, Azure sounded like a demon from hell. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you. I¡¯ll tell you right now,¡± Jake said. He didn¡¯t even hesitate for a single second before revealing that rence was the one behind this. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Alex chuckled softly. He was not exactly surprised. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, do you want me to get someone¡­¡± Azure said. Alex waved his hand. ¡°There¡¯s no need. He¡¯s just an insignificant figure.¡± He looked around at the people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center. None of them looked like nice people. Now, because of rence, they ended up severely hurt Would they even let rence off the hook? However, rence had just been begging Alex for forgiveness a while ago. Now, rence ended up hiring someone to mess with him. Wouldn¡¯t Alex be too kind if he didn¡¯t return the favor? Alex took his phone out and made a call. ¡°Wace, I was just attacked. They wanted to break my hands. rence Fawl was behind this. I think he has some serious personality ws. Letting him stay in the medical system would only make us look bad.¡± Alexined to Wace Yoke. ¡°What? I can¡¯t believe it. This rascal has lost his mind. Are you alright, Mr. Rockefeller?¡± Wace eximed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine.¡± Alex then heard Wace speaking to someone. ¡°Anna, I¡¯ll let you deal with this. You mustn¡¯t go easy on criminals like him.¡± ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, you owe me a favor,¡± Anna Coleman said into the phone. Alex¡¯s nose twitched. If it wasn¡¯t for himst night, something terrible would¡¯ve happened to Anna. ¡°Damn! Who pissed in her pants? Why does it stink so badly?¡± Alex said bluntly before hanging up. Anna¡¯s face turned cold as she gritted her teeth. She looked like she was going to murder someone. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 250 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 250 Anna Coleman was currently at Premier Hospital in California. The man dressed in ck yesterday was the culprit who victimized dozens of young women in California. However, he wasn¡¯t the only person involved. His apprentice, Trevor Newman, was also one of them. After capturing himst night, Anna was able to interrogate the man and get a lot of answers from him. She then came to the hospital to get more detailed information from victims. Anna charged towards rence Fawl¡¯s office with a burning rage that had pent up in her. Meanwhile, rence was still waiting for good news from Jake Colter. He was very confident in Jake, who had proven time and again how capable he was when dealing with these sorts of things. In the past, rence had asked for Jake¡¯s help before. Although Jake never charged cheaply, he always performed well and made rence feel good. Although rence wished he could personally witness Alex Rockefeller having his hands broken, he couldn¡¯t be there in person because of his status. ¡°It should be done now, right?¡± ¡°That b*stard¡¯s hands should be broken by now, right?¡± rence was getting impatient, and called Jake on the phone. After a while, someone picked up. ¡°Jake, Jake. How did it go? Have you broken that useless Rockefeller¡¯s hands?¡± A few secondster, a familiar voice came. ¡°No! But your future is about to be over.¡± ¡°What? Are you¡­ Alex Rockefeller?¡± rence asked. His heart was beating wildly. He had a terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen. Right then, the door to his office flung open and a talldy charged in. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± rence asked. ¡°You¡¯re done for!¡± Anna wasn¡¯t in the mood for chit-chat. She immediately grabbed a pair of cuffs and put them on rence. *** At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, a Porsche stopped in front of Budweiser Martial Arts Center. The car belonged to Azure Storm. Alex was looking out the window from the passenger side. ¡°This Budweiser Martial Arts Center looks very grand. The building itself must cost a fortune!¡± ¡°Budweiser Martial Arts Center is different from other normal martial arts centers. To be precise, they teach real ancient martial arts in the form of Rake Fist. The owner of this ce is an Advanced-Royal rank expert by the name of Robert Downie, and he has N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. many disciples. Mr. Rockefeller, should I get more of our pals toe over?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. If you¡¯re scared, you can stay in the car.¡± Azure¡¯s facial expression turned dark while he snorted softly. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, there¡¯s no reason for you to look down on me. I have never been afraid of anything.¡± Alex nodded. ¡°Alright. After we seed, I¡¯ll help you advance to Peak-Royal rank.¡± Azure¡¯s mouth fell open. Although he wanted to refuse Alex, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to say the words. In the end, he slowly closed his mouth. ¡®Once I achieve Peak-Royal rank, I should be able to defeat Waltz, right?¡¯ Azure thought to himself. However, Alex seemed to have read his mind. ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. You still can¡¯t beat Waltz even if you achieve Peak-Royal rank. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go in!¡± They both got out of the car. Azure opened the car boot and dragged Jake out of it. By then, Jake was barely moving. Azure dragged Jake all the way toward the martial arts center. Bam! The half-closed door was kicked open by Azure, who then flung Jake inside. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 251 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 251 With a loud boom, the door detached from the door shaft and fell hard to the ground, it nearly hit someone inside. A group of male and female martial artists, who were practicing inside, were all shocked and started yelling angrily. Soon, a person came flying inside and fell right on top of the broken door. Jake Colter, whose legs were already broken, cried out painfully as if he were a pig being ughtered. ¡°Ahh!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Jake!¡± ¡°Jake, what happened to you?¡± ¡°Jake¡¯s legs are broken. Who, who did it? I¡¯ll avenge you!¡± Someone reached out to touch Jake¡¯s legs and found that they werepletely twisted and deformed. There were even pieces of his bones sticking out of his flesh. It was a shocking sight, it felt painful just to look at it. One of the women, who was quite attractive and rather tall, went over and tried to A gentle cracking sound could be heard. Jake, who already had severely wounded legs and broken bones, cried out loudly and thoroughly passed out. ¡°It¡¯s actually this woman!¡± Alex eximed as he stood by the entrance. He recognized the talldy after his gaze lingered upon her face for a while. He met her in university back in California. She was the second strongest fighter in Devil Coven, Annalise Henderson. Never did Alex expect that she was actually a member of Budweiser Martial Arts Center. ¡°You guys injured Jake!¡± In the center, there were more than forty people who wore the same outfit, with the word ¡°Budweiser¡± embroidered on the chest area of their shirts, along with a design of a fierce tiger. At this moment, all of them looked at Alex and Azure, who were standing by the entrance. Thump! Thump! The two of them walked through the door into Budweiser Martial Arts Center. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Alex looked around the hall of the center. The interior decoration had an antique feel and looked appealing. There were quite a number of ink paintings on the walls, in which people practicing Rake Fist inside them. Finally, his gazended on Annalise. At the same time, Annalise also looked at him with a shocked expression on her face, but she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I did it.¡± Azure said ndly, ¡°Well. This person really is from Budweiser Martial Arts Center, isn¡¯t he?¡± A quick tempered man immediately stepped forward. ¡°Damn! Who are you people? How dare you have the guts to injure our people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center? You have such an arrogant attitude too. It looks like you have no idea how powerful Budweiser Martial Arts Center is, do you?¡± Azure chuckled coldly. ¡°What¡¯s so great about Budweiser Martial Arts Center? Get your master toe out. I¡¯m looking for him. The rest of you, little minions, can get out of the way!¡± ¡°What? How dare you, brat! Fine. Since you dared to break Jake¡¯s legs, I¡¯ll break all your limbs!¡± The quick tempered man could not hold his anger any longer and wanted to make a lunge for him. Although these people had heard of Azure Storm in California¡¯s underworld, they had never seen him in person. After all, Azure had been hiding in the shadow of the underworld. Budweiser Martial Arts Center, on the other hand, never had much to do with the underworld. If the quick tempered man knew the man was Azure, he wouldn¡¯t have done something provoking like this. ¡°Wait a second!¡± Just as the battle was about to start, Annalise shouted to stop them, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t be too rash. Let¡¯s find out what has really happened. If Jake¡¯s legs were broken for no reason, we will certainly avenge him.¡± Annalise seemed to be well-respected at Budweiser Martial Arts Center. As soon as she spoke, everyone in the crowd went silent. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 252 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 252 Annalise didn¡¯t look at Azure, but she looked at Alex instead, who seemed very calm. Annalise wasn¡¯t fond of Alex at all. Despite being a married man, Alex still flirted with Michelle Yowell. More importantly, Michelle didn¡¯t seem to mind at all as though she willingly allowed a jerk like Alex to y with her feelings. Annalise was determined to teach Alex a lesson if he had done something morally wrong. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, I want you to give me a reasonable exnation. If you don¡¯t, and I find that you are working with other people to bully my people from Budweiser, I won¡¯t let you off the hook even if Michelle were to show up here.¡± Annalise stared coldly at Alex. Surprised, Azure turned to look at Alex and did not utter a word. Alex ced his hands behind him and asked, ¡°Ms. Henderson, are you a disciple in Budweiser Martial Arts Center?¡± Annalise lifted her chest confidently, trying hard to suppress her anger. ¡°That¡¯s right. The master of Budweiser Martial Arts Center is my uncle.¡± While raising his brows, Alex rubbed his fingers and said, ¡°Alright. I won¡¯t make things difficult for you, just for Michelle¡¯s sake. You may leave now.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Annalise couldn¡¯t believe what she had just heard. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, I¡¯m also giving you an opportunity to exin yourself for Michelle¡¯s sake. What sort of a ce do you think Budweiser Martial Arts Center is? A caf¨¦? Do you think you cane here whenever you wish? Don¡¯t mislead yourself.¡± From the conversation between Annalise and Alex, the other people in Budweiser Martial Arts Center could tell that both of them knew each other. In this case, it would be possible to negotiate a solution. Annalise¡¯s gaze was cold. In fact, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. She said, ¡°Now, I need an exnation from you. Do it, right now.¡± Alex shook his head lightly as he said, ¡°Fine. I will give you the first exnation. This fat N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. guy, after epting a reward of a million dors from someone, brought five other men to assault me, wanting to break my hands. The oue is just what you just saw, he was too unskilled, and he ended up losing his legs. Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s fair?¡± ¡°What? Did Jake actually do something like this?¡± Annalise frowned as she heard his words, but she could still discern right from wrong. As a martial artist, getting paid to attack another person was too shameful. Jake brought it down upon himself by having his legs broken. However, not everyone thought the same. ¡°Hmph. All we can see right now is that Jake¡¯s legs have been broken. In fact, they¡¯re have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, you don¡®t look like you¡¯ve suffered any injury and your hands seem perfectly fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Jake has already passed out. Who could have known what exactly happened?¡± ¡°Avenge! We must avenge him!¡± Everyone was riled up as they demanded to avenge Jake. Annalise was equally angry. She and Jake were on good terms after all. Unfortunately, his life would be very difficult in the future. He would forever be looked down upon by others, and he would have to live his life in shame. ¡°Everyone, be quiet!¡± Annalise eximed, ¡°Listen to me, everyone. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If Jake really did get bribed to attack someone else, then he really brought it down upon himself. Having his legs broken would have been reasonable. However, if it turned out he was innocent, I will definitely avenge him!¡± ¡°How could we just let it slide? Jake¡¯s future has gone down the drain!¡± Somebody said. Annalise looked at Alex. ¡°Your friend was far too cruel. Effectively, he¡¯s ruined Jake¡¯s life for good. That¡¯s why you¡¯ll have to pay up. Just apensation of five million dors, we¡¯re not trying to make things difficult for you.¡± Alex scratched his ears and chuckled softly. ¡°Your name is Annalise Henderson, right? Did you misunderstand something here? We¡¯re not here to apologize to you. Instead¡­ We are here to demand an exnation.¡± As he spoke, the look in his eyes suddenly turned fierce. ¡°If you people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center can¡¯t give me a satisfactory answer today, I¡¯ll make sure it will no longer have a ce in California from today on.¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°This is absurd!¡± ¡°Damn it. Annalise, back off. I¡¯ll teach this b*stard a lesson by kicking his ass!¡± Someone shouted before charging forward and striking a punch at Alex. Right then, Azure made a move. Azure dived in from the side and initiated a preemptive strike by punching that person in his arm. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 253 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 253 Crack! There was a clear, crisp sound of cracked bones. The man¡¯s wrist was instantly snapped apart by Azure¡¯s punch. His wrist bone pierced through his flesh and was now exposed, with blood spilling out. ¡°Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!¡± The man¡¯s wrist hurt so badly that he couldn¡¯t breathe. While holding his hand, he immediately fell to the ground and started rolling around, howling in pain. Those who witnessed such a bloody scene could feel their hearts pounding in shock, it just sent chills down their spines. Annalise was only a university student. Although she had learned Rake Fist quite well and she frequently fought in the ring, most of those fights had limits. For example, back when she fought against Green Dragons in California State University, the battle got so heated that she ended up puking blood. She couldn¡¯t imagine at all how fights in the underworld would look like. Hence, when she witnessed one of her peers being beaten up like this, she nearly vomited. ¡°You! That¡¯s too much!¡± ¡°Do you really think nothing of us from Budweiser?¡± A middle-aged man charged out of the crowd and lunged at Azure with a loud roar. Rake Fist was a fast and furious technique. Whenbined with inner force, it packed quite the punch. As soon as the man charged forward, his peers started cheering him on. ¡°Senior Tom, beat him up. Destroy this bugger!¡± Indeed, Senior Tom¡¯s punches seemed quite formidable. He threw quick punches one N?velDrama.Org owns this. after another like tsunami waves in the ocean. However, Azure¡¯s facial expression hardly changed at all. After dodging the man¡¯s attack twice, he snorted. ¡°It¡¯s all for show. None of it is practical.¡± Annalise¡¯s face turned cold. ¡°How dare you say that our Rake Fist is not practical? Do you even know punching techniques? Don¡¯t think you¡¯re so great just because you injured two of us. That¡¯s because you haven¡¯t fought against someone truly powerful yet.¡± To be honest, Annalise actually said those words to Alex. However, Alex, who was standing aside, had an indifferent look on his face and his eyes were dulled with void, as if he didn¡¯t seem bothered with the fight at all. Annalise noticed his expression, and she was extremely angry for some reason. ¡°Jerk. Don¡¯t be so aloof. I¡¯ll make you beg and eat my shoester,¡± Annalise said angrily. Right then, Azure met his opponent¡¯s Rake Fist attack with a kick. The sh urred with a boom, it sounded as if firecrackers went off. Senior Tom¡¯s fist waspletely overpowered by Azure¡¯s foot, with a burst of inner force in all directions. Azure effortlessly stepped his feet together. Meanwhile, Senior Torn continued to slide backward. A string of cracked prints was left behind as his feet rubbed against the hard marble floor. Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud. Barf! After spitting a mouthful of blood out of his mouth, Senior Tom eximed, ¡°An Advanced-Royal ranked expert. Who are you?!¡± At this moment, overwhelmed by the shock, everyone in Budweiser Martial Arts Center was dumbfounded. Annalise looked at Alex with a surprised yet angry expression on her face. ¡°Why did you bring an Advanced-Royal rank expert here? If you have the courage, fight me on your own!¡± Azure chuckled coldly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you thinking too highly of yourself? Do you think someone like you has what it takes to fight Mr. Rockefeller, the great martial art master? I¡¯m not looking down on you, all of you from Budweiser Martial Arts Center are nothing but trash in the eyes of Mr. Rockefeller.¡± ¡°That¡¯s nonsense. He¡¯s no master. I think he¡¯s a fraud master, who specializes in tricking female students in university to sleep with him,¡± Annalise said angrily. After all, she was deeply attached to Budweiser Martial Arts Center, so she wouldn¡¯t permit anyone to insult it. However, from Azure¡¯s perspective, Alex was not someone who should suffer such insults. Smack! Azure pped Annalise across the face. ¡°How dare you insult Mr. Rockefeller? You deserve to be pped!¡± A stream of blood started flowing down from the corner of Annalise¡¯s mouth. She stared angrily at Alex and absolutely refused to believe that Alex was an expert fighter. That was because she had looked into Alex¡¯s background and found out that he was nothing but a piece of trash. When his father was around, he used to live like a rich, spoiled brat. After losing his father, he just spent his days at his wife¡¯s house, doing nothing else but living off her. Even someone like Beatrice Assex could casually insult him. Later, he even came to y with Michelle Yowell¡¯s feelings. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 254 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 254 Annalise would rather die than believing that a useless man like Alex could defeat all the disciples in Budweiser Martial Arts Center. For Michelle¡¯s sake, Alex raised his hand to stop Azure from beating Annalise up. ¡°She¡¯s just a child. You don¡¯t have to get so angry!¡± Azure nodded. ¡°Where is Robert Downie? Ask him to get his *ss out here. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to destroy the entire Budweiser Martial Arts Center.¡± Facing Azure, who was intimidating, everyone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center could not utter a word but they all looked away in fear. ¡°My uncle is not in,¡± Annalise finally said. ¡°Give him a call. He has one hour to make it back,¡± Alex said inly. Annalise gritted her teeth, but in the end, she still called her uncle. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Just as she said the word, Azure snatched her phone away. ¡°Mr. Downie, you have one hour to get back to Budweiser Martial Arts Center. If you don¡¯t get back within an hour, your martial arts center will be gone.¡± ¡°What?¡± Robert, who was having tea while visiting his friend outside, nearly puked the tea in his mouth when he heard Azure¡¯s words. ¡°Who are you?¡± Robert asked. ¡°I¡¯m Azure Storm from Thousand Miles,¡± Azure said. ¡°Do you mean Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± Robert was dumbfounded. ¡°My Budweiser Martial Arts Center has never done anything to your Thousand Miles Conglomerate. What is the meaning of this?¡± ¡°It means you have messed with someone you shouldn¡¯t. Remember, you only have an hour.¡± Azure crushed the phone right after finishing his sentence. A perfectly fine Apple smartphone ended up being crushed into pieces by him. Annalise nearly choked on her own breath. This man was way too arrogant and domineering. Even her uncle, Robert Downie, wasn¡¯t that arrogant like him. However, people eventually came to their senses after hearing Azure¡¯s words. ¡°Is he really Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate?¡± ¡°Azure Storm, one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ My god!¡± ¡°Who did Jake mess with? Even Azure Storm, the Great Chieftain, has to call him master¡­¡± Right then, everyone began looking at Alex differently. However, Alex had not made a move since the beginning. Instead, he kept his arms behind him and stoodpletely still, giving a grandiose impression as if he was a majestic mountain that they had to look up at. Meanwhile, there were still fingerprints on Annalise¡¯s face from the p earlier. She could still feel the burn. However, her impression of Alex hadn¡¯t changed. She still only felt disgust and anger toward him, and she didn¡¯t believe he truly had any capabilities. In N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. her mind, he must have done something to trick Azure. *** While waiting, Alex received a call from Dorothy. Alex dared not make her wait The imposing aura around him immediately faded away. He donned a gentle expression on his face and said to the phone, ¡°Honey, what is it?¡± Bang! Several people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center fell on their buttocks as they were surprised by Alex¡¯s sudden change of demeanor. Annalise, on the other hand, felt even more certain that Alex was a kept man who lived off his wife as she could not sense anything that resembled a fighter on him. He was only good at putting on ostentatious acts and bullying weak persons. A jerk like Alex was nothing but mud on the ground if he didn¡¯t have help from Azure. Annalise now looked at Alex with an even more disdained expression on her face. However, Alex didn¡¯t care about how others looked at him at all as he continued speaking with Dorothy on the phone. ¡°You finally got your phone back. You must have gone to see that pretty doctor again. Did she forcefully kiss you this time?¡± Dorothy asked. ¡°Honey, there¡¯s no reason to be jealous. Don¡¯t you know what kind of person I am? Everyone in the world knows how much I love you!¡± Alex eximed. ¡°Ugh!¡± Annalise felt nauseated. Indeed, this was exactly how a kept man would behave. Everyone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center awkwardly looked at each other, even Azure had an odd expression on his face. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 255 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 255 ¡°When did you learn to say such sappy things?¡± Dorothy, on the other end, asked with a smile. She still found those words were somewhat sweet. ¡°These wordse from the bottom of my heart. Well, what happened to your mom after I left? Did your mom cause a scene and asked you to divorce me?¡± Alex said. ¡°Of course, she did!¡± Dorothy thought to herself. ¡°Don¡¯t mind her. Just think of her as a patient. Oh right, I¡¯m calling to tell you that it¡¯s my grandpa¡¯s sixty-sixth birthday today. We¡¯re going to have a celebration tonight. You¡¯re ¡°Your grandfather¡¯s birthday is today? And you¡¯re only telling me now?¡± Alex asked. N?velDrama.Org owns this. ¡°I didn¡¯t want you to go at first, but I¡¯ve changed my mind. I¡¯ll get off work early at four ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll be on time. Goodbye, mwah! ¡± Alex said. After hanging up the phone, Alex looked up and found that everyone was in daze. That was because the ambience had changed so suddenly that none of them could get used to it. Not too long ago, the center was filled with battle cries and they were still engaged in a heated fight for their lives. Suddenly, it turned into some trifles and lovey-dovey chatters between a kept man and a jealous wife. *** Half an hourter, Robert Downie, apanied by two other people, hurried over. One of the two was an old man with a youthful face, while the other was a young man who wore a green shirt and long pants. When Robert saw that the door to his martial arts center was destroyed, he charged in angrily. After entering the center, he was livid as he saw Jake and one of his disciples were severely injured. Enraged, Robert looked at Azure and shouted, ¡°Azure Storm, you¡¯ve gone too far! I¡¯ve never done anything to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Why did you do such cruel things to my people?¡± ¡°Did you really do nothing? Why don¡¯t you ask what has your disciple done out there? I¡¯ve been very merciful for not killing him,¡± Azure said indifferently. Robert looked at Annalise. She then exined what had happened to Jake in a soft voice and pointed at Alex. Alex¡¯s gazended on the other old man with a youthful look who just walked in instead. Although the old man just stood there poker-faced without saying anything, Alex could still sense that the man was even more powerful than Robert. However¡­ Why should Alex be afraid of him? While Robert was still analyzing whether Jake or Azure was at fault, Alex suddenly started speaking, ¡°You are Robert Downie, the master of Budweiser Martial Arts Center, right?¡± Robert snorted coldly and didn¡¯t bother to reply to Alex. ¡°I¡¯m asking you again. I hope you will answer me honestly. Did you order someone to kill Anthony Patingson?¡± Alex continued asking. ¡°Who is Anthony Pattingson?¡± Robert was stunned for a moment. Alex stared right into Robert¡¯s eyes and even activated his Third Eye, to check the fluctuation of energy movement in Robert¡¯s body. Alex could tell that Robert did not seem to be feigning the surprise, so he probably did not know about Anthony at all. ¡°Well, I¡¯m sure you know Dew Sunder, don¡¯t you?¡± Alex asked. ¡°Dew Sunder? Don¡¯t you mention that b*stard. I don¡¯t know someone like him,¡± Robert shouted angrily all of a sudden. His eyes turned fierce as well, they were even filled with murderous intents, as if he bore a great enmity against Dew. However, Dew was the one who killed Anthony Pattingson in prison. ording to information provided by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Dew was Robert¡¯s most prized disciple. Meanwhile, the people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center were ashen-faced when they heard Dew¡¯s name, especially Annalise, who looked worriedly at Robert. After that, she turned to Alex with a curious gaze. At first, she thought Alex was here because of Jake. However, based on the current situation, it seemed like that wasn¡¯t the case. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 256 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 256 Dew Sunder was the real reason why Alex came here. Alex seemed calm as he spoke, as if he was talking to himself, ¡°Anthony Pattingson killed my father in a car crash. Dew Sunder, on the other hand, killed Anthony in prison. Since Dew is your most prized disciple, I have reason to suspect that you ordered Dew to kill Anthony in order to get rid of all the evidence. Tell me, my parents¡¯ car ident that was caused by Anthony ten months ago, were you involved in it too?¡± Robert seemed even more surprised. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, don¡¯t you sling mud at my uncle without proof. My uncle definitely wouldn¡¯t have ordered Dew to kill whoever man by the name of Anthony Pattingson, let alone involved in your parents¡¯ car ident,¡± Annalise said angrily. ¡°Why are you so sure?¡± Alex asked. Annalise nced at Robert before turning to look at Azure and exined, ¡°That¡¯s because Dew has not been my uncle¡¯s disciple for a long time. He¡¯s a heartless, animalistic b*stard who drugged my cousin¡­ In the end, she ended upmitting suicide. My uncle hated him so much that he would kill for his flesh and blood. How could my uncle possibly ask him to do anything?¡± Robert waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Stop talking.¡± Alex¡¯s eyes glimmered as he didn¡¯t expect to find out such an oue. After taking a deep look at Robert, Alex nodded slightly. ¡°Well then, I¡¯m sorry for bothering you. Azure, let¡¯s go!¡± Azure nodded. However, Robert suddenly looked daggers at Alex and Azure. ¡°Who said the two of you could leave?¡± Robert nced past Alex. In his eyes, Alex¡¯s body didn¡¯t contain any inner force, hence, he wasn¡¯t a threat to him at all. He thought that Alex only had the courage toe to Budweiser Martial Arts Center because he was backed by an expert fighter like Azure. Therefore, Robert waspletely focused on Azure. ¡°I don¡¯t care who¡¯s at fault with regards to Jake Colter, but you came to Budweiser Martial Arts Center to destroy my main door and even injured my disciples. Do you think nothing of me, Robert Downie?¡± ¡°What about the dignity of Budweiser Martial Arts Center? What about my prestige? If you want to leave, fine. But, each of you must leave one of your hands here.¡± Robert had an oppressive and aggressive expression on his face. Azure looked right back at Robert, and didn¡¯t even flinch. He said indifferently in a mocking tone, ¡°Mr. Downie, I suggest you not make a fool of yourself.¡± Robert snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about the greatness of your god-like kicking techniques, Azure Storm. Apparently, they im that you have never been defeated in California. I¡¯d like to find out if you really are invincible.¡± Right after that, Robert activated his energy, revealing the fact that he was at half step to Mystic rank. Azure was stunned. ¡°Robert Downie, did you actually advance to Mystic rank?¡± Without saying anything, Robert proceeded to attack Azure right away. Robert¡¯s Rake Fist was significantly stronger than his disciples¡¯. Although Azure used all N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. his might and kicked extremely fast with his feet, Robert¡¯s Rake Fist was still much stronger and domineering. On top of that, Robert¡¯s cultivation level was higher than Azure. If they were to sh head-to-head, Azure would be at a disadvantage. Boom! After a loud collision sound, Azure stumbled backward with his right leg trembling and in a state of numbness. Robert, on the other hand, didn¡¯t seem exhausted afternding a punch on Azure. He punched his fist on the ground, forming a small crater with cracks around it. ¡°What will it be? Are you going to do it yourselves, or do you need my help?¡± Robert retrieved his fist and chuckled coldly. At this moment, the rest from Budweiser Martial Arts Center began pping and cheering loudly. Earlier, Azure single-handedly overpowered all of them, but now, they could finally hold their head high. ¡°Master, they broke Jake¡¯s legs. He¡¯ll spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. How can we only ask for one of their hands each? They must at least break one of their legs too!¡± ¡°¡¯l¡¯hat¡¯s right. It¡¯s an eye for an eye. Do they think the Budweisers are easy to get bullied? They must be shocked now!¡± Annalise looked at Alex with a disdainful and arrogant expression on her face and said, ¡°Alex Rockefeller, did you really think that you could overpower the Budweisers with just the helping hand of an expert fighter? You¡¯re far too naive. Borrowing someone else¡¯s power is forever the conduct of weaklings. A truly strong person does his own bidding! Anyway, there¡¯s no point in talking to a conniving man like you, who lives off his wife.¡± ¡°Is that so? What if I tell you I could defeat your uncle? What would you do then?¡± Alex nced at her indifferently and asked. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 257 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 257 Annalise was extremely upset when she heard that Alex was going to defeat her uncle. ¡°Who do you think you are? A Mystic ranked or Earth ranked expert? Or are you a Grandmaster? My uncle is at half step to Mystic rank. In fact, he has already mastered Rake Fist. You, on the other hand, are just a useless man who lives off women. How dare you speak to my uncle like this?¡± Annalise spoke in a sarcastic tone. She was loud enough that everyone in the martial arts center could hear her. Everyone else, except Azure, now looked at Alex with a sarcastic and mocking expression on their faces. ¡®None of you couldprehend Mr. Rockefeller¡¯s level of patience. The more you insult him, the more embarrassed you will beter.¡¯ Azure secretly let a sardonicugh as he thought to himself. In fact, he had eagerly anticipated how the events would unfold next. Robert waited for Annalise to finish speaking before looking askance at Alex. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not willing to break your own arms. Forget it, you¡¯re all talk and no action. Let me give you a hand.¡± After that, Robert lunged forward and grabbed Alex¡¯s arm forcefully, wanting to break his arm off with just a fling. Based on his cultivation level at half step to Mystic rank, he could easily snap off a normal person¡¯s armpletely once he activated his inner force, resulting in a lifelong disability. However, after exerting force, Robert couldn¡¯t move Alex¡¯s arm at all, let alone lifted his arm up. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going on?¡± Robert tried tugging at Alex¡¯s arm again, but it still didn¡¯t work. Shocked, Robert looked at Alex and noticed that his expression was fully calm. Meanwhile, everyone else from Budweiser Martial Arts Center, including Annalise, rejoiced in Alex¡¯s misfortune. When they saw Alex¡¯s arm being grabbed by Robert, they were certain that things wouldn¡¯t end up well for Alex. Alex would¡¯ve been lucky if his arm only snapped into two. However, none of them could see the embarrassment on Robert¡¯s face at the moment. ¡®Grr¡­ I¡¯ll try again!¡¯ Robert thought to himself. However, at this moment, Alex shook his hand violently and sent Robert flying with a tremendous force. Robert spun around in circles twice on the ground before he could barely stand. N?velDrama.Org owns this. ¡°Ahh! ¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Uncle, what are you doing? Why didn¡¯t you snap his arm off, and then you suddenly spun around on your own twice? Are you ying with him, trying to make him look like a clown?¡± However, Robert looked more like the clown in this case. Both the eyes of Azure and the youthful-looking old man glistened as they watched the scene. ¡°Mr. Downie, it¡¯s enough. Let¡¯s call it a day, shall we?¡± Alex asked ndly. Robert chuckled coldly. ¡°I thought you might be relying on something more powerful, but it turns out you¡¯re just naturally gifted with strength. If this is all you¡¯ve got, I suggest you break your own hands off. It will be much more painful if I were to do it for you,¡± Robert said. ¡°You still won¡¯t give up! Come on!¡± Alex shook his head and shouted. Robert cried out loudly and leapt into the air before attacking Alex with several moves. ¡°Three Points of Deity!¡± Wham! Wham! Wham! ¡°Tiger¡¯s Ascension! ¡± Smack! Smack! ¡°Forced Entry!¡± ¡°King¡¯s Fury!¡± ¡°Sky Cannon!¡± Robert attacked consecutively Alex with five different moves, and they were all the essential techniques within Rake Fist. However, apart from the first two moves that managed to hit Alex, the three remaining ones missed himpletely. Alex shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re too slow. Even a grandmother who practices Tai Chi moves faster than you. Why would you even bother trying to break my arm with such a slow speed?¡± Robert was enraged. After letting out several roars, he started attacking Alex again, but to no avail. Everyone else in Budweiser Martial Arts Center was shocked. Annalise¡¯s eyes were widened in astonishment as if she had seen a ghost, as she thought, ¡®Isn¡¯t he a useless trash? Isn¡¯t he just a kept man who lives off his wife? How could he possibly intercept my uncle¡¯s attacks? How did he do it?¡¯ Meanwhile, seeing Robert was about to dive at him with another punch, Alex chuckled softly. ¡°You¡¯veshed out at me so many times. Why don¡¯t you take a hit from me too?¡± Alex threw an effortless punch at Robert, it was the Dragon-Tusk Punch that he had secretly learned from Anna Coleman. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 258 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 258 Boom! The impact ended up in a burst of explosion due to the strong Chi energy channeled. After being punched, Robert was sent flying backward. Luckily, one of his disciples caught him in time and saved him from the fall. Even so, Robert¡¯s fist wouldn¡¯t stop trembling. Everyone else¡¯s heart sank with restlessness, as they didn¡¯t expect that Alex to be this powerful. The youthful-looking old man was in fact someone that Robert had asked assistance of. Now that Robert was clearly disadvantaged, he immediately stepped forward. ¡°I would like to challenge you.¡± ¡°Both of you cane at me together!¡± Alexughed heartily. The old man and Robert looked at each other. ¡°You¡¯ve got courage!¡± The two of them really started attacking Alex together. Moreover, they even worked together andunched a pincer attack at Alex. Alex channeled his Chi energy and reared, ¡°Dragon-Tusk: Thousand des!¡± Bang! Bang! Two loud noises were heard. Both the white-haired old man and Robert were knocked back over ten meters by Alex¡¯s attack, beforeing to a halt. A young man caught the white-haired old man, but Robert, on the other hand, spat blood from his mouth. ¡°Ahh!¡± Annalise eximed as she covered her mouth, with shock written all over her face. Never did she expect that Alex would be able to defeat both his enemies with a single attack. Not to mention the fact that her uncle was half step to Mystic rank, Annalise knew the old man¡¯s capabilities very well. He, who came from an ancient martial arts background in California, was the head of the Ondo family. He was definitely much stronger than Robert. If even a powerful man like him lost to Alex, Annalise could not imagine how strong could Alex be. Now, she finally understood why a prouddy like Michelle would throw herself at Alex and didn¡¯t even mind the fact that Alex was already married. Such a young man was already a Mystic ranked expert. Furthermore, he was a rare and influential man. However, when he was in the Assex family, he must be an unscrupulous man, who pretended to be weak so he could destroy his opponents when they least expected him. ¡°That¡¯s Dragon-Tusk Punch from the Coleman family!¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this. ¡°You just used Dragon-Tusk Punch from the Coleman family. You¡¯re actually from the Coleman family!¡± The white-haired old man cried out suddenly. ¡°You¡¯re quite good at observing. Indeed, this is the Coleman family¡¯s Dragon-Tusk Punch, but I¡¯m not a Coleman,¡± Alex said calmly. However, based on what the white-haired old man had just heard, Alex definitely had a deep connection with the Coleman family even if he wasn¡¯t part of them. Alex suddenly turned to look at Annalise. ¡°What do you think now? Do you still think Budweiser Martial Arts Center is almighty and invincible?¡± Annalise bit her lips and kept quiet. ¡°Mr. Downie, can we call it a day now?¡± Alex asked again. Robert hesitated for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh. ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯m not as strong as you are.¡± Alex turned around. ¡°Azure, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Wait a second,¡± Robert suddenly said. ¡°¡­¡± Alex remained silent. ¡°I don¡¯t know why Dew Sunder killed Anthony Pattingson, but ever since Dew betrayed Budweiser Martial Arts Center and escaped, he started working for Frank ardo. As for the rest of the matter, I don¡¯t have a clue,¡± Robert exined. A dash of sparkle flickered in Alex¡¯s eyes. ¡°Frank ardo, is it? Previously, Brock Rousey had also said that he used to be Frank ardo¡¯s right-hand man. In this case, I¡¯d have to pay Frank a visit,¡± Alex thought. Alex and Azure walked out of Budweiser Martial Arts Center and got into the car. ¡°Mr. Rockefeller, Frank ardo isn¡¯t in California right now. He left with a few of his trusted men, but I¡¯m not sure where he has gone to. However, the Southern California Business Association will hold a swordpetition a monthter, on the ninth of September. He will definitely show up then. It¡¯s very likely he will be there to enlist the services of experts,¡± Azure said. ¡°The ninth of September. Great. We¡¯ll wait until then!¡± Alex eximed. Meanwhile, everyone in Budweiser Martial Arts Center stayed silent and still didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. ¡°If he¡¯s not a member of the Coleman family, why does he know their Dragon-Tusk Punch? This young man is very odd,¡± Robert said. ¡°I heard there¡¯s a woman in the Coleman family by the name of Anna Coleman. She is part of Divine Constabry. In fact, she¡¯s already reached the marriageable age. I heard rumors about the Coleman family looking for a suitable husband for Anna not too long ago. Could it be him?¡± The white-haired old man said. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 259 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 259 Azure drove Alex to California¡¯s Premier Hospital. That was because Alex¡¯s car was still parked in the underground basement there. When the car stopped, Azure looked at Alex, but he couldn¡¯t bring himself to speak. Earlier, Alex seemed to have promised Azure that he would help him advance to Peak-Royal rank after today¡¯s ordeal. ¡°What is it?¡± Alex frowned and asked him after seeing the constipated expression on Azure¡¯s face. ¡°Eh¡­ Nothing.¡± Azure was too embarrassed to say it. ¡°Oh, I remember now. Here, take this,¡± Alex took a bottle out of his pocket and retrieved three red pills that looked asrge as cod liver oil capsules, then ced them on the center console in the car. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°What are these?¡± Azure asked. ¡°Blood energy pills,¡± Alex said. ¡°What do they do?¡± Azure asked again. ¡°They help replenish your blood energy,¡± Alex answered. ¡°But I don¡¯t think I need that,¡± Azure said. ¡°But you have renal deficiency,¡± Alex said. Azure¡¯s face twitched as his eyes were widened and retorted. ¡°I do not.¡± ¡°Yes, you do,¡± Alex said. ¡°But I¡¯m still a virgin,¡± Azure said. ¡°It¡¯s just that you have inborn renal deficiency,¡± Alex said. Although there wasn¡¯t any wind in the car, Azure felt as if a breeze had hit him. ¡°Is there a way to fix it?¡± Azure asked after a while. ¡°Not at the moment,¡± Alex said and shook his head. ¡°Well¡­ Can I still get married?¡± Azure asked. ¡°Yes, but you can¡¯t sleep with your wife,¡± Alex said. ¡°Just like you?¡± Azure asked. Alex red at Azure for a moment. After retrieving one of the blood energy pills, he opened the car door and got out. ¡°Two pills are more than sufficient for you to advance to the next level!¡± Alex eximed before walking into the hospital. Azure was shocked by his words, with his mouth agape. He quickly grabbed the two blood energy pills and caressed them like his most prized treasure. ¡°Wham!¡± Azure pped himself on the face. He lost one of the pills due to his foul mouth. *** When Alex checked the time, it was almost three o¡¯clock. Alex quickly drove Waltz Fleur¡¯s Lamborghini back to Maple Vi. He had to prepare a gift for Dorothy¡¯s grandfather. Alex knew that Dorothy¡¯s grandfather was anguage teacher before he retired and had many sessful students over the years. On his sixty-sixth birthday, Alex naturally had to give him a worthy gift. Suddenly, Alex recalled the painting that he received from Lord Lex Gunther. It was an art piece called ¡°The Landscape¡± by Jean Pucelli in the 13th century, and it was expensive enough to honor Dorothy¡¯s grandfather. Of course, Alex also thought of the fact that Dorothy¡¯s sixty-six years old grandfather was quite old, so he decided to give him some supplements as well. At first, Alex thought his blood energy pills would be the perfect gift. However, since they didn¡¯t know what they were, they might not appreciate them. Hence, he chose a snow lotus instead. Although it wasn¡¯t the one that Michelle bought from the auction with tens of millions dors, it was still very valuable and its market price was at least five million dors. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re back!¡± Waltz, who wore a pink shirt that exposed most of her legs, walked over barefoot. At first nce, it appeared almost as if she did not wear anything under her skirt. She looked so hot that Alex couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her. After staring at her for over ten seconds, he finally nodded with a hum. ¡°Did Frank ardo do it?¡± Waltz asked. It seemed that she had already heard the news. Alex¡¯s gaze returned to normal as he said, ¡°Although I can¡¯t be sure, I think he must be connected to him somehow. Brock Rousey and Dew Sunder both work for him. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a coincidence. I¡¯ll ask him personally on the ninth of September.¡± Waltz nodded. After a while, she moved close to him and poked his shin with her leg. ¡°I heard you taught Maya Howards the Silver Frost technique. Could you teach me too? After all, I¡¯m both your junior and bed-warming servant. If you¡¯d like, I coulde and warm your bed tonight!¡± Alex was tempted, but he refused. ¡°You¡¯ll have too much on your te. You should focus on practicing a single technique.¡± ¡°But Senior, my technique is very simple and it¡¯s iparable with Silver Frost!¡± Waltz tried even harder at tempting Alex. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 260 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 260 Waltz¡¯s leg was about to move up to Alex¡¯s waist. ¡°I¡¯ve seen you practicing. To be honest, that technique is pretty good and has your distinctive features. Most importantly, you¡¯ve been cultivating it for so many years, it¡¯d be a shame for you to give it up. How about this? I¡¯ll help you modify itter,¡± Alex said. ¡°Deal,¡± Waltz said. ¡°Here, these are for you. Take one pill every three days. It¡¯ll help with your cultivation,¡± Alex said before tossing over a small bottle, which contained ten blood energy pills, to her. What would Azure feel if he knew that he had to work so hard just to get two of these pills, but Waltz, on the other hand, only had to poke Alex with her feet to get ten and he even offered to modify her cultivation technique? Azure might actually contemte changing his gender! ¡°Senior, you¡¯re so nice. Tonight, I¡¯ll make you¡­¡± Waltz started speaking. Right then, Brittany and Maya walked down the stairs. ¡°Alex, Waltz, what are you two talking about?¡± Brittany asked. ¡°Oh, I was saying I would personally make dinner for all of you tonight.¡± Waltz quickly fixed her sentence. After that, she turned to Alex and mouthed the words to him without making a sound. ¡°I¡¯ll warm your bed!¡± Alex gulped as he thought, ¡°There¡¯s a subus living in my house. A very seductive one. I don¡¯t even know when I¡¯ll get eaten alive. It¡¯s really dangerous!¡± ¡°Ahem. I won¡¯t be staying for dinner. I have stuff to do tonight,¡± Alex said. ¡°Are you not going to eat at home again?¡± Brittany frowned slightly. After waking up from hera, Alex hadn¡¯t had many meals with her and he was always outside. She didn¡¯t know what he was so upied with. ¡°Mom, about that¡­ It¡¯s the birthday of Dorothy¡¯s grandfather today. I have to be there,¡± Alex said. ¡°It¡¯s your grandfather-inw¡¯s birthday. In that case, I should show my respect too!¡± Alex¡¯s heart raced wildly when he heard Brittany¡¯s words. After all, he didn¡¯t want her mother to meet ire at all. When the time came, something terrible might happen. So, he hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. He didn¡¯t send you an N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. invitation. It would be a little rude to show up there uninvited. I¡¯ll go on my own! Moreover, I have to pick Dorothy up first. Waltz, I¡¯ll borrow your car.¡± Naturally, Waltz didn¡¯t mind. Brittany, who seemed to be deep in thought, nodded after a while. ¡°Drive safe then.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Alex said. After Alex left the vi, Brittany¡¯s eyes lit up as she asked, ¡°Waltz, tell me the truth. Has Alex been treated poorly in the Assex family?¡± ¡°Ehhh¡­¡± Waltz murmured. ¡°Maya, tell me,¡± Brittany said. ¡°Mom¡­ I¡¯m not too sure either! I¡¯ve only heard that Madame ire Assex can be quite harsh,¡± Maya said. ¡°Waltz, can you find out where Dorothy¡¯s grandfather lives?¡± Brittany looked at Waltz and asked. There was a vague look of excitement in Waltz¡¯s eyes as she said, ¡°There¡¯s a tracker inside my car.¡± ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll get some gifts prepared. After all, they are our rtives. It¡¯s the old man¡¯s sixty-sixth birthday, so it¡¯s reasonable for me to be there for the celebration. Otherwise, they might think that I¡¯m actually dead,¡± Brittany said in a somewhat cold tone. *** At four o¡¯clock, Alex arrived just in time in front of Dorothy¡¯s office and parked his car. As soon as the cool Lamborghini arrived, it attracted a lot of attention from the people around, and even many employees inside thepany looked at it from their windows. ¡°Woah, it¡¯s a Lamborghini!¡± ¡°I wonder which rich heir is here again to woo a prettydy in ourpany.¡± ¡°I realize the prettydies in ourpany have quite an expensive taste in men!¡± After that, everyone watched their own CEO, Dorothy Assex, walking over with her purse in hand. When she saw Alex sitting inside the Lamborghini, she couldn¡¯t help but stand still, shocked, for a moment. After that, she got into the car with a confused expression on her face. ¡°Where did you get this car?¡± Dorothy asked. ¡°I borrowed it. Do you want to give it a test drive?¡± Alex asked. ¡°I thought you bought it! Isn¡¯t this car way too high-profile? Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll head right over to Grandpa¡¯s house.¡± After a loud roar made by the Lamborghini¡¯s engine, they drove away. However, neither of them knew that the gossipy staff in the office had already taken several photos, discussing among themselves in the office group chat. ¡°Whose car did Ms. Assex get into?¡± ¡°This Lamborghini looks like a world-wide, limited-edition version. It costs at least ten million dors. It can¡¯t possibly belong to Alex Rockefeller. Could it be her new fling?¡± ¡°That¡¯s major news. Ms. Assex has finally epted another guy¡¯s pursuit!¡± ¡°Poor Mr. Rockefeller!¡± However, many of them had no idea that they were being spied on by someone in this non-official group chat. Her username in the group chat was Bea, but her real name was Beatrice Assex. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 261 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 261 At this moment, Beatrice and ire were on their way to her grandfather¡¯s ce, driving the BMW M8 that was given to Dorothy by Alex. Beatrice¡¯s grandfather was Aidan Bardot. He has two daughters, ire was the elder while the younger one was named Adrianna Bardot. Adrianna was much snobbish than ire, she would always try topare with ire in every aspect. Ever since ire¡¯s husband, Henry Assex, went missing after a trip with his secretary, Adrianna insulted and looked down upon her every time they met. More importantly, Adrianna had a daughter, who was a year younger than Dorothy, she would always show her off in front of ire. Under such circumstances, ire naturally couldn¡¯t drive her dpidated car back home. Only a BMW M8 that was worth two million dors could show her elegance and mboyance. When the time came, she could get back at her sister to regain her self esteem. ¡°Mom, Sis found a new boyfriend!¡± Beatrice, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said suddenly, ¡°Looks like she has finallye around and stopped clinging to that loser Alex.¡± ire turned to her. ¡°How did you find out?¡± Beatrice replied, ¡°In Sis¡¯pany group chat, I¡¯ve been lurking in there. Now everyone is talking about her new lover. He drives a limited edition Lamborghini! Morn, do you know how much that costs? At least fifteen million dors!¡± ¡°What? A car that costs fifteen million dors?!¡± ire eximed in surprise, as she had never seen such an expensive car in her life. ¡°Where? Where?¡± Beatrice showed ire her phone. ¡°This one here, look! Isn¡¯t it so cool?¡± ire stared at it excitedly, with her eyes sparkling. However, after her hands slipped, she identally ran the car into a railing with a loud bang. Both the mother and daughter were shocked to their core. They hurriedly got out of the car and checked its condition. The car¡¯s bumper had fallen off, the rightmp was broken as well. Helpless, Beatrice cried without tears. ¡°Mom, what do we do now? I shouldn¡¯t have shown you if I knew this would happen. If we were to wait for the cops to deal with this, we might end up missing Grandpa¡¯s birthday celebration dinner.¡± ire said, ¡°Why should we call the cops over a broken BMW? We don¡¯t even know where that loser Alex got his hand on it. Who cares if it¡¯s broken? Your sister is now riding a Lamborghini, why would we need this damn BMW?¡± Beatrice replied, ¡°Thank God we didn¡¯t run over anyone. Please drive more safely,Mom!¡± ire huffed. ¡°This is all that trash, Rockefeller¡¯s fault. Why did he even give us such a poor car? Everyone¡¯s driving automated cars now, not old and outdated cars like this!¡± They had finally reached their destination, Aidan¡¯s ce. Multiple cars had been parked outside the entrance, there was even a dashing red Ferrari. Numerous people surrounded the Ferrari and gossiped about it in awe and N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. envy, some were chatting enthusiastically. At first nce, ire immediately noticed Adrianna and her family, who were standing there. Adrianna¡¯s husband, Taylor Bemy and her daughter, Sharpay Bemy were standing next to her. Next to Sharpay was a man in a suit, who seemed quite intimate with her. They were most likely dating. ¡°Yo, Sis, you¡¯re finally here! I thought you wouldn¡¯te to Dad¡¯s 66th birthday celebration. You actually showed up in a broken car? Oh look, the bumper fell off too. Is your family so poor that you don¡¯t even have money to fix it?¡± Adrianna rushed over to ire as soon as she parked her car. Seeing the broken BMW, she almost couldn¡¯t hold in herughter. ire said with a darkened expression. ¡°Money to fix it? I literally just crashed it on the way here. Open your eyes wide and look clearly, this is a luxurious car that¡¯s worth two million dors. I don¡¯t really care if it¡¯s broken and I¡®m toozy to go through the insurance stuff anyway. At most I would lose a few hundred thousands dors, but Dad¡¯s birthday takes the cake.¡± ¡°Hahaha, what a joke! A broken car like this costs two million dors? More like scraps from a junkyard! Just drop the act already. Who doesn¡¯t know that your family is going to get kicked out of the Assexes?¡± Adrianna smiled as she pointed toward the Ferrari. ¡°Take a good look at this. Now that¡¯s a real luxurious car. A Ferrari, have you ever seen one? Furthermore, this is my son-inw¡¯s car, it¡¯s worth five million dors! Would you like to take a photo of it? The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 262 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 262 ire was shocked. After looking at the Ferrari and then turning to her broken car, she was instantly bereft of speech, as if she had just eaten a bug and received a critical hit of fifty thousand damage. However, she couldn¡¯t help but curse Alex secretly. More importantly, this wasn¡¯t the end of it. Sharpay brought her boyfriend over to show off. ¡°Aunty, Cousin, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Edison Hood. He¡¯s an executive of Yowell Group, with a yearly sry of five million dors! This car belongs to my boyfriend by the way. Oh right, why aren¡¯t Cousin Dorothy and her useless kept, I mean, husband here yet?¡± As she mentioned the word ¡°useless¡±, a smug expression was stered all over her face. Beatrice said, ¡°Sis is still working at herpany, so she¡¯ll be a littlete.¡± Adrianna huffed. ¡°Does she not know what day is today? How could a lowly employee like her be busier than my son-inw in an executive position? I guess the poor always act haughty and stuck-up. Also, I bet you are too embarrassed to bring along that useless son-inw of yours who only lives off women!¡± Edison asked, ¡°What is it about living off women?¡± Sharpay chuckled as she said, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s my cousin-inw, who is specialized in living off women. He never earns a penny his whole life but only asks my cousin for money N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. every month. Marrying a husband like him is basically raising a man-child.¡± Adrianna added. ¡°Oh well,parisons are odious after all! They are both sons-inw, but how could their differences be so vast?!¡± Their conversation had attracted a small crowd. Some were Aidan¡¯s neighbours, some were guests who came to celebrate his birthday. Upon listening to their conversation, puzzled gazes were fixated on ire. Angered, ire¡¯s eyelids kept twitching as she felt that she had suffered such a great humiliation due to Alex. So, she immediately said, ¡°Who said that he¡¯s my son-inw? That useless piece of sh*t Rockefeller has been kicked out by me long ago! Dorothy divorced him! My dear Dorothy is now the CEO of a subsidiarypany, who cares if you¡¯re an executive?! Her current boyfriend is great too, he drives something called¡­ Lamborgigi.¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s Lamborghini.¡± Beatrice, who was standing aside, corrected her. ¡°Yeah, yeah! A Lamborghini! It¡¯s a limited edition too, it costs fifteen million dors you know!¡± ire seemed to be high spirited again as she pointed at the red Ferrari and said, ¡°What¡¯s so great about that five-million-dor Ferrari? They wille here by Lamborghiniter, it will be an eye-opener for you guys?¡± Adrianna pursed her lips as she said, ¡°Is that really true? Are you sure you¡¯re not just bluffin g? How could I not know if Dorothy has divorced?¡± ¡°Why would we announce such a thing to everyone?¡± ¡°But, her divorce means that she¡¯s going to remarry. How could she find someone nice from remarrying? Careful, her partner might y with her feelings!¡± ¡°Hmph, so what if she¡¯s going to get remarried? My daughter is still a virgin, she has not slept with him even after marriage! She¡¯s basically untouched. Unlike someone, she hasn¡¯t changed boyfriends like changing clothes.¡± Sharpay turned pale by her words. In fact, she had dated multiple guys, she even lost her virginity in her first love. Just then, a cool and trendy Lamborghini slowly pulled up in front of them. Beatrice pulled on ire¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s the Lamborghini! Sis is here!¡± ire¡¯s eyes lit up and hurriedly eximed, ¡°Look, that¡¯s my son-inw! He¡¯s driving a Lamborghini that¡¯s worth fifteen million dors! Ferraris are just toy carspared to this!¡± The crowd was shocked upon seeing the luxurious car, it really was a Lamborghini. Adrianna was the one who fell silent this time round. The scissor doors of the car opened up. ire was overjoyed as she rushed to meet her new son-inw. However, after seeing Alex got out of the car, she froze as if she were struck by lightning. ¡°Why are you here? Where¡¯s my new son-inw?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 263 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 263 ¡°What new son-inw?¡± ¡°Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± Dorothy, who was wearing a business attire, got out of the car as well. Sharpay, who dressed up morously, was iparable with her ethereal beauty and elegance in that instant. Even her boyfriend, Edison, stared at Dorothy with eyes filled with immense adoration and envy. ire ecstatically thought that Dorothy had finally dumped Alex and found herself a rich son-inw. However, seeing Alex whom she knew very well, ire was extremely disappointed. ¡°Dorothy, wasn¡¯t there a rich heir who picked you up in a Lamborghini? How did it turn out to be this trash here?¡± ire huffed angrily. ¡°What rich heir? It¡¯s Alex who picked me up. Mom, I¡¯m married, please don¡¯t say such nonsense,¡± Dorothy said as she red at Beatrice. She knew that Beatrice was added into the office group chat. Hence, she was the only one here who could know about this. Just then, Adrianna walked up to them with a smile. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s really Alex Rockefeller. Didn¡¯t you just say that they¡¯ve already divorced? Why do they suddenly get back together? Where did the real rich heir go? This down-and-out loser is worse than a With that, she then touched the Lamborghini. ¡°A fifteen-million-dor luxurious car? Can you even afford this? You probably rented it, right? Why do you even put on an act? Is there any point to bite off more than you can chew?¡± Dorothy froze. ¡°Who got a divorce? I didn¡¯t.¡± Sharpay replied, ¡°But your mom just told us that.¡± In that instant, both Dorothy and Alex could not help feeling helpless as they were bereft of speech. However, ire asked, ¡°Dorothy, where did this Lamborghinie from? Could it be N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. that you bought it just now after yourpany earned a lot of profit?¡± She tried getting back at Adrianna for once. Dorothy shook her head. ¡° No, Alex borrowed it from a friend.¡± ¡°Hahahaha! ¡± Adrianna cackled. ¡°I actually thought you guys have be rich. Looks like this was all just a big bluff! Yeah, sure, the car is amazing, but it¡¯s even not yours! What good would it do for you? I¡¯d rather get in my son-inw¡¯s Ferrari than a borrowed car.¡± Taylor added. ¡°I was in quite a shock too! Turns out it was just a lie, to think you acted as if it were true! How vain!¡± After being insulted by both her sister and brother-inw, ire was clearly frustrated and annoyed. She swung her hand toward Alex¡¯s face as she yelled, ¡°You trash! You useless trash! Who invited you here? Who told you to borrow a car? Do you really think you deserve to drive a Lamborghini? Can you even pay for the expenses if you were to break it? Get lost! Get lost right now!¡± Alex leaned back slightly and dodged her p. However, ire had used too much force, causing her to almost slip and fall. As she got even more enraged, she took one of her heels off and threw it hard at Alex. Alex was worried that Dorothy, who was right behind him, might get hit. Hence, he decided not to dodge and took the hit. Dorothy said angrily, ¡°Mom, what is wrong with you? So what if Alex borrowed the car? Have you not embarrassed yourself enough?¡± ire yelled back, ¡°I¡¯m only embarrassed because of this useless trash! Look at Sharpay¡¯s boyfriend, and now look at him! He¡¯s no better than dog sh*t on the roadside.¡± Alex¡¯s expression darkened as he was about to snap. Suddenly, an old man walked out. ¡°What¡¯s with the ruckus? Haven¡¯t you embarrassed yourself enough? Are you here to celebrate my birthday, or to piss me off?¡± The man was Aidan Bardot. In that instant, ire dared not say another word. Both Dorothy and Beatrice greeted him, Alex did so as well. However, the old man didn¡¯t even take a nce at him. On the contrary, he warmly weed Edison, Sharpay¡¯s boyfriend. The contrast in his attitude was too obvious. Dorothy clinged to Alex¡¯s arm,forting him. After secretly giving him a gentle kiss, only then did Alex suppress his anger and calm himself down. At the same time, Brittany, Waltz and Maya were on their way to Aidan¡¯s birthday banquet too. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 264 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 264 Inside Bardot Manor, there were around forty to fifty people in total of Aidan¡¯s rtives and his disciples. A fewrge tables had been ced in the hall. It was time to present gifts. Dorothy had thoughtfully prepared a gift for Alex to present to Aidan, it was an inkstone that cost tens of thousands dors. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The old man liked calligraphy, hence, she figured that he would like it. ¡°Give this inkstone to himter, and say it¡¯s a present from both of us.¡± Dorothy reminded him in a soft voice. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, I¡¯ve prepared gifts as well,¡± Alex smiled as he said. In front of them, the first one to present the gift to Aidan was the elder daughter, ire. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve got you this jade scepter. I wish you good luck and health for years toe.¡± Next was Adrianna and Taylor, they gave him a gold statue of Buddha. Then, Aidan¡¯s disciples followed suit and presented their gifts to Aidan. Alex was speechless with the fact that Aidan would open his presents as soon as he received them, regardless of the gifts being wrapped in boxes. Alex had seen his expression turned gloomy as some of his disciples had presented gifts that weren¡¯t as grand as the others. While dragging Edison, Sharpay enthusiastically rushed up to present her gift as well. ¡°Grandpa, this is a gift from Edison. It¡¯s a famous painting called The Landscape by Jean Pucelli in the 13th century. It¡¯s the real deal, you know? Take a look, Grandpa!¡± ¡°What? The Landscape by Jean Pucelli?¡± As expected, Aidan¡¯s eyes lit up as he heard her words. A few of his disciples were shocked as well. After all, Jean Pucelli was indeed the most famous artist back in the 13th century. Along with other three famous artists, they were referred to as the Famous Four. His original works were priceless. Just a while ago, one of his original works was auctioned for eighty million dors in Port City. Even if The Landscape was not as costly as that painting, it must still be quite expensive! Upon hearing this, Alex furrowed his eyebrows. ¡®He presented The Landscape too? That¡¯s too coincident. Then should I present mine too?¡¯ Alex thought. During their conversation, one of Aidan¡¯s disciples started praising out loud. ¡°It¡¯s the real deal! It really is! This gift is amazing, it must have cost at least tens of millions dors!¡± Aidan smiled at Edison as he said, ¡°You¡¯re so considerate, Edison. But this painting is priceless, I don¡¯t dare to take it, you should just keep it for yourself!¡± Edison smiled and replied, ¡°Grandpa, heroes deserve powerful swords whereas refined schrs deserve famous paintings. You are indeed a truly refined schr, Grandpa, just look at how many disciples you have! If I were to keep The Landscape, that would just lower its worth. However, it¡¯s definitely a match for you!¡± ¡°Haha, what a great speech. Mr. Bardot, with such a grandson-inw, what more could you ask for? Since this is his token of appreciation to you, you should just ept it, Mr. Bardot! ¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ Well, alright. I¡¯ll be keeping it safe for Edison then! It¡¯s still going to be yours when I pass away anyway! Haha!¡± Edison then took out a century-old ginseng, iming that it cost millions dors. He then proceeded to wish Aidan good health for years toe. However, with Alex¡¯s abilities now, he was able to identify any herbs with just one sniff. The century-old ginseng was a fake. It was just a garden ginseng that was dried and baked to make it look like a century-old ginseng. Such ginseng was avable in some markets in the north side, its price was even cheaper than carrots. Hence, Alex couldn¡¯t hold in hisughter upon seeing this, he ended up letting out a slight chuckle. This chuckle wasn¡¯t much of a problem, but Sharpay immediately noticed it. She walked over to him and said, ¡°Yo, what are youughing about, my useless cousin-inw? What do you n to give Grandpa on his birthday? Oh, you can drive a Lamborghini that¡¯s worth fifteen million dors, you have the right tough at us indeed. Then show us what gift you have prepared. Is the gift inside this bag?¡± With that, she snatched it from him. The moment the painting was opened up, everyone was shocked. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 265 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 265 ¡°This¡­ Is this The Landscape too?¡± ¡°Why does it look the same as the other?¡± ¡°Is it even possible that there are two copies of The Landscape in this world?¡± Sharpay eximed in surprise. Adrianna rushed over to take a look and hurriedly said, ¡°Why do you even need to question it? Obviously, this must be a fake. Why else are there two same paintings by a famous artist in this world? Even idiots could figure that out.¡± Alex replied, ¡°Mine is the original copy.¡± Taylor chuckled sarcastically. ¡°Yours is the original? so, are you saying the one that my son-inw presented is a fake? Why don¡¯t you look at yourself in the mirror, do you really think you can afford to present the original copy of The Landscape? You couldn¡¯t even buy a shred of it even if you were to use all the pocket money that the Assexess have given to you.¡± Edison huffed. ¡°I got mine from a friend¡¯s auction with an internally set price of more than ten million dors. I ask of you, where did yourse from? ¡± Alex replied dismissively, ¡°A friend gave it to me.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Adriannaughed. ¡°What a joke! Have you really not taken a look in the mirror? Sure, you used to be that almighty young lord of the Rockefeller, and everyone would suck up to you. But look at you now, your dad betrayed our country, your mom is half-dead, and you, Alex Rockefeller is nothing but a street rat! If it weren¡¯t for the Assexes¡¯ generosity to let you stay, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to eat garbage at the roadside. And, you said that someone gave you this painting, but it costs more than ten million dors! What kind of idiot would give it to you?¡± Alex¡¯s eyes turned sharp and cold, his aura was immense. ¡°Watch your mouth. No one can insult my family.¡± Adrianna¡¯s face was full of disdain. ¡°So what if I insulted them? Are you going to hit me? Come on then, hit me here, you twerp!¡± In the next second, Taylor, Sharpay and Edison came over as well, standing in front of Alex. All of them had a look of contempt and mockery on their faces. Dorothy hurriedly rushed over to hold Alex back. She was worried that Alex might actually hit Adrianna out of anger, worsening the situation. Aidan was enraged as he said, ¡°ire, keep your son-inw in check.¡± After that, he also walked over to them and took a look at The Landscape that Alex had prepared for him. He immediately showed a contemptuous look as he said, ¡°Your painting is the fakest of the fakes. Justpare it to the original copy, yours isn¡¯t even sealed with the stamp and there are burn marks down here too. It must have been damaged when you were trying to replicate it, right? This is not just any fake, but a lowly faux.¡± Sharpay sneered. ¡°How dare you try topete against my husband¡¯s original copy by bringing out such a lowly faux? You¡¯re really a joke.¡± Alex let out a sardonicugh. Indeed, his copy didn¡¯t have a stamp. This was due to a fire in the past when it was being passed down. It would have been destroyed if someone didn¡¯t save it. However, after the fire, the area with the stamp was burnt so it looked worn. Despite that, this was N?velDrama.Org owns this. truly the original copy. However, only true collectors and antique lovers would know about such a history. Alex only found out about this from Waltz. Meanwhile, ire rushed over and pulled Alex to the side. She yelled angrily, ¡°Get lost, you trash! Haven¡¯t you embarrassed me enough? What kind of disgusting piece of sh*t is this? How dare you im it to be Jean Pucelli¡¯s original artwork? Do you really think everyone¡¯s an idiot? Just get lost!¡± She then snatched the painting and tore it into two halves. She even threw it to the ground and stomped on it twice. Alex¡¯s heart sunk, he couldn¡¯t help but feel extremely helpless. If Jean Pucelli were to know that his original artwork was damaged in such a way, he wouldn¡¯t ever rest in peace. Dorothy narrowed her eyes as she said, ¡°Mom, how could you tear it? It¡¯s still a painting regardless!¡± It was obvious that Dorothy thought that the painting was a faux as well. However, tearing it apart in front Alex was just too humiliating. Sharpay replied, ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t she tear it? Do you want to keep it around to scam others?¡± She then took the other present in the bag. After opening it up, she said, ¡°Oh my god, what¡¯s wrong with you? How dare you give Grandpa a white flower on his 66 th birthday? What is the meaning of this? It¡¯s wilted too! Are you trying to curse my grandpa?¡± Alex already regretted joining the birthday banquet. He would rather stay at home and have dinner with his mother. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 266 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 266 Alex was demotivated as he said, ¡°This is a snow lotus.¡± ¡°Huh, is this really a snow lotus?¡± One of the disciples said, ¡°This really is a snow lotus, but it looks kind of weird.¡± Someone added, ¡°I¡¯ve seen it on Amazon, my wife ordered some for herself.¡± Sharpay immediately looked it up on Amazon. In the next second, she cackled. ¡°I thought it was something good this time. This snow lotus here only costs 23.8 dors, it If you could drive a Lamborghini, why are you gifting this piece of sh*t? Not even a dog would want it!¡± She immediately threw the snow lotus, which was worth millions dors, onto the ground. ire angrily lifted her leg and stomped on it several times, trampling it into pieces. While pointing at Alex, she yelled, ¡°You loser! You godforsaken loser! Are you done fooling around yet? Are you really a nemesis of the Assexes? You don¡¯t ever do anything in your life, all you could do is get sh*tty items like this! How long do you n on clinging to my Dorothy? You¡¯re just a bearer of ill luck, don¡¯t you know that? I can¡¯t even stand looking at you, why don¡¯t you just drop dead already? Just drop dead, along with your damn mother! Divorce now! Hurry and divorce my daughter! Trash like you don¡¯t even deserve my Dorothy.¡± She kept screaming while poking Alex¡¯s chest and pushing him hard. Bit by bit, she wanted him to step out of the door. Dorothy wanted to pull her mother back, yet she was being held back by Beatrice. The rest of the Bardots, who were standing aside, coldly watched the scene, as if they were watching an amusingughing stock. Sharpay, who was clinging to Edison, smiled coldly as she stared at ire and Alex. She then turned to Dorothy, who was ashen-faced. She was extremely satisfied with this oue, as though she were enjoying a cool popsicle in a hot June. She knew that she was iparable with Dorothy in many aspects. At first, she was no match for Dorothy in studies. Then, she was no match for Dorothy in looks and body as well. Now, she couldn¡¯t evenpete with Dorothy in the job position.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. However, looking at Dorothy now, Sharpay felt that she had be an ultimate joke. Sharpay thought that the most important thing in a woman¡¯s life was neither intelligence nor beauty, but the ability to choose a good husband. If one could marry a good husband, she would live a blissful life. On the contrary, if one somehow married a sh*tty husband, her life would end up in living hell. ire was extremely livid as she had never been humiliated like this in her life. She med all of this on Alex, hence she wanted to insult him in every way she could today. Just then, she realized that a woman appeared right behind Alex. This woman¡¯s expression was extremely cold yet baleful, ring at her. A whim struck ire as she felt that the woman looked familiar. Only after a brief moment of thinking, she finally figured out the woman as she thought, ¡®She¡­ Isn¡¯t she that loser Alex¡¯s mother, Brittany Rockefeller? Isn¡¯t she still lying in the hospital bed, half-dead? Am I seeing things now?¡¯ In the next moment, a hard pnded on ire¡¯s delicate face. Smack! The p was loud and clear. A red p mark instantly surfaced on ire¡¯s fair face. Brittany¡¯s voice echoed through the halls. ¡°ire Assex, is this how you treat my son?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 267 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 267 ire held the side of her face that had been pped, with her eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, ¡°It¡¯s Brittany, it¡¯s really Brittany. She has actually woken up from hera.¡± Alex was shocked as well. ¡°Mom, you¡­ Why are you guys here?¡± He saw Waltz and Maya were behind Brittany as well. In that instant, Alex knew that chaos would soon ensue. He was worried the most that such a situation would happen, therefore he never told ire that his mother had woken up. For Dorothy¡¯s sake, he was willing to endure ire¡¯s unreasonable and lunatic behavior to make things more difficult for him. However, Brittany would never stand back and tolerate her behavior. Dorothy felt the same too, but her face was pale, with her lips trembling. She was about to faint out of shock. Beatrice was in shock as well, with her mouth agape. Meanwhile, the Bardot family and the other guests were taken aback as soon as they saw such a scene, but their expressions turned excited shortly after¡­ Especially Adrianna and her family, they almost wanted to cheer out loud. ire snapped back to reality and instinctively asked, ¡°Brittany, how did you survive? Aren¡¯t you almost dead?¡± Brittany¡¯s cold re was as sharp as a spear. ¡°ire Assex, of course you wish me to die so you can keep bullying my son like this, right? You even cursed both my son and I to die, why don¡¯t you just drop dead instead?¡± Brittany continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t believe the rumours about you at first. But now, I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes, this is far worse than what I¡¯ve heard. Do you even deserve to be a mother-inw?¡± Dorothy immediately flung Beatrice¡¯s hands away and rushed over. She held ire back as she turned to Brittany and said, ¡°Mom, please calm down.¡± Brittany lifted her arm and pped Dorothy across her face. ¡°Get lost! Dorothy Assex, do you still remember what did I say back then, when I gave you permission to marry into the Rockefellers? I told you to take care of m y son! Is this how you take care of him?¡± She added, ¡°How dare you let your mom scold my son all she wants, calling him a loser, and even letting him ve away for your family as a nanny?! Even though you¡¯ve been married for ten months, he¡¯s still a virgin even now too, for god¡¯s sake! You¡¯ve turned my son into the biggestughing stock in California, you¡¯ll be condemned for the rest of your life!¡± A slight smile shed on Waltz¡¯s face. Dorothy, on the other hand, burst into tears as she covered her face with her hands. Alex held Brittany back. ¡°Mom, what are you doing? What does this have got to do with Dorothy? Come on, stop this ruckus. We should at least give face to Aidan, after all today is his 66th birthday celebration. Let¡¯s just leave!¡± After all, Brittany was known as the Steel Woman. Alex was worried that if this ever kept up, this wouldn¡¯t end up well. He might actually have to divorce Dorothy. However, how could Brittany back down and the Assexes off the hook? Brittany said, ¡°Go away, don¡¯t even try to stop me! You¡¯re William¡¯s son, and my son too! Your dad and I would never allow you to get bullied like this!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the most precious thing to us in the world, we wouldn¡¯t even trade you for the stars up in the sky. Yet, in these people¡¯s eyes, you are nothing but sh*t, they think you¡¯re trash! If your father were to know that you have degraded yourself just for this woman, he would kick his coffin open to beat you up!¡± As Brittany spoke, her eyes were reddened. After all, this was her beloved son. After being pped in front of the crowd, ire, who was enraged, pointed at Brittany and shouted, ¡°You hot headed b*tch, how dare you p me and even my daughter? What makes you think you could do that? Have you gone mental from being half-dead for half a year? Who do you think you are? Do you think William Rockefeller is still the great man that he used to be?¡± She added, ¡°Your husband is just a corrupted traitor who abused thew and colluded with the enemies! He¡¯s just a street rat detested by everyone! And you? If it weren¡¯t for us, the Assexes funding your hospital bills every month, do you think you can live up till now? You would¡¯ve died long ago!¡± Beatrice came over to help her mother too. ¡°That¡¯s right, you brute woman, you¡¯re really unreasonable! What makes you think you can p my mom?¡± Just then, the Bardots finally came over to stick up for them. After all, ire was still part of the Bardots. Now that she was bullied by an outsider, if N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. they were to stand back and watch, everyone would gossip and criticize them behind their back. While smiling coldly, Brittany stared at the crowd and said, ¡°You want to get even with us, right? Fine, I want to settle the ount with you guys too.¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 268 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 268 ¡°Mom¡­¡± Alex wanted to stop Brittany, yet he was held back by Waltz. ¡°Senior, Madame has been holding the anger for such a long time, if you don¡¯t let her vent it, it might deteriorate her health and she might get sick. Your mother-inw has indeed crossed the line. N?velDrama.Org owns this. If we don¡¯t teach her a lesson now, you¡¯d have to suffer more in the future.¡± Alex smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯m worried that I wouldn¡¯t even have a future after this.¡± Waltz smiled as she said, ¡°That won¡¯t happen.¡± Deep in her heart, she wished clearly that Alex didn¡¯t have such a future. ¡°My son has been ving away for your family as a nanny, he could at least have a sry of ten thousand dors every month, right? There¡¯s a total of ten months, how much has he actually taken from you? Isn¡¯t that what he¡¯s supposed to deserve?¡± Brittany said coldly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how much he took, that¡¯s still money of the Assexes!¡± ¡°Fine, it¡¯s your money. What about this then? Back when Alex was getting married, I gave you a betrothal gift of twenty million dors, and I¡¯m not even including the cost of the jewellery. But you never treat my son as your son-inw, so shouldn¡¯t you return those money to me?¡± With this, both Dorothy and Beatrice were shocked as they had no idea this had actually happened. Dorothy asked, ¡°Mom, you¡­ you actually asked for a betrothal gift of twenty million dors?¡± ire yelled, ¡°So what if I did? After all, you two have registered for marriage, why should I return those money?¡± Dorothy asked again, ¡°What happened to the money then?¡± ire, who seemed fairly upset, agitatedly said, ¡°I traded them for futures and lost all the money. Hmph, it must be because it¡¯s dirty money, that¡¯s why I lost. Why else would I suffer losses in everything that I bought?¡± Listening to this, Dorothy was about to cry from sheer anger. The guests were appalled as well. After all, it was not a small amount, but twenty million dors. Most people wouldn¡¯t even be able to earn such an amount in their whole lifetime. It was a rare sight when someone had the courage of her convictions to say that she lost all the money with such an excuse. Brittanyughed coldly. ¡°If it were really dirty money, the officials would¡¯vee to confiscate it ages ago. How could they let you off so easily? Fine, whatever, twenty million dors are nothing to me, I don¡¯t really care if they are gone. But don¡¯t you dare try to reason with me using my son¡¯s pocket change of hundreds of thousands dors.¡± She added, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted your daughter and my son to get a divorce? Sure, I agree with that.¡± Panicked, Alex¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to.¡± However, ire pped as she eximed, ¡°I agree too, they should¡¯ve divorced ages ago! Why should I let this loser stay in my ce any longer?¡± Brittany turned to Alex and said, ¡°Back then, I told you that I didn¡¯t want you to marry Dorothy. In my mind, I¡¯d prefer Maya to be my daughter-inw, or Waltz, I¡¯m satisfied with her too!¡± Dorothy¡¯s expression instantly darkened. Alex asked, ¡°Mom, what wrong did Dorothy even do?¡± Brittany replied, ¡°She didn¡¯t, what¡¯s wrong is that she has an unreasonable, greedy and snobbish mother. I already realized that back then. Marriage isn¡¯t just between the two of you, it involves two families too. Son, do think you could be happy if her mother and the rest of her family members dislike you? Listen to me, get a divorce! Mom will approve your marriage if you were to marry Maya or Waltz.¡± Maya¡¯s face blushed, there was a shy look in her eyes. Waltz, on the other hand, smiled as she said, ¡°Madame, I shall call you ¡®Mom¡¯ from now on. I don¡¯t mind being a concubine, Maya can be his wife!¡± She then huffed at Alex. ¡°Good for you, hubby! We can finally sleep in the same bed tonight!¡± At this moment, Dorothy was crushed as if she were struck by lightning. ¡°Get out! All of you, get out! We Bardots don¡¯ t wee you.¡± Aidan was enraged as he lunged forward with a stick. Waltz grabbed the stick effortlessly with her slender hand. Then, with just a gentle grip, the stick, which was as thick as an arm, broke into pieces. Waltz smiled as she said, ¡°Old man, you¡¯re old and you should keep your temper under control, Otherwise, it would be bad for your health.¡± Everyone was incredibly appalled, with their mouth agape. Meanwhile, Sharpay¡¯s boyfriend, Edison, had finally recognized Waltz. His eyes were instantly widened and filled with terror. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 269 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 269 ¡°P¡­ Princess Fleur?! ¡± After taking a clear look at Waltz, Edison almost fell to the ground out of shock. Never did he expect that the great Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate woulde by this ce and join in on the fun. More importantly, she actually said that she wanted to be a concubine for ire¡¯s useless son-inw. ¡®Not to mention the legitimacy of the matter, if a man like him could have Princess Fleur to personally show up just for him, could this man really be a useless loser? ire Assex and the whole Bardot family must be insane!¡¯ He thought as he quickly took a few steps back, fearing that Princess Fleur might notice him. However, Sharpay, who was still clinging to him, asked with a puzzled look, ¡°Honey, what did you just say? Who¡¯s Princess Fleur?¡± Edison jumped in shock, he wished he could murder Sharpay right there and then because of her naivety. He even saw that Waltz seemed to take a nce in their direction. He hurriedly dragged Sharpay and retreated to the back of the crowd as he exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything, you must¡¯ve misheard. That woman seems pretty strong, let¡¯s take a few steps back, it¡¯ll be safer this way.¡± He dared not tell anything to Sharpay, or else this damn woman would start screaming out loud. When the time came, wouldn¡¯t Princess Fleur definitely notice them? However, Sharpay said with a nonchnt expression, ¡°She just crushed a stick, that¡¯s all. Besides, that stick is pretty decayed, what¡¯s the big deal about that?¡± Edison waspletely speechless toward her words. Everyone in the Bardot family really had a loose screw loose. Edison made up his mind to dump Sharpay as soon as the birthday celebration was over. He only dated her for fun anyway. At this moment, Brittany said calmly, ¡°Then we have a deal, ire Assex. They shall file a divorce tomorrow.¡± ire replied, ¡°Alright, so be it! Alex Rockefeller, do you really think you¡¯re still the all mighty Rockefeller from ten months ago? Don¡¯t you ever forget that you are just an N?velDrama.Org owns this. abandoned child that has been kicked out of the Rockefellers. It¡¯s a blessing for you to not starve! After the divorce, I will give Dorothy¡¯s hand in marriage to the real heir of Rockefeller Group, Spark Rockefeller. He hade to ask for my blessing ages ago!¡± Brittany huffed. ¡°Spark Rockefeller? It won¡¯t be long till his downfall. ire Assex, I¡¯m telling you right here now. You may look down on us two today, but I¡¯ll make sure you eat your words after tomorrow. Alex, let¡¯s go!¡± Alex stared at Dorothy with a worried expression. However, he couldn¡¯t speak to her in private as of now. In the end, Waltz and Brittany dragged him out of Bardot Manor. After they had left, ire was fuming and acted like a maniac. ¡°What the hell! What in the f*ck? Who does she think she is? Eat my words? She¡¯s just a lowkey widow, a half-dead b*tch who just woke up! Does she really think she¡¯s still the Steel Woman? She¡¯s even worse than a beggar in the streets!¡± She added, ¡°Divorce! You shall get a divorce tomorrow! Spark from Rockefeller Group is way better than that useless piece of sh*t!¡± Dorothy, who was sobbing uncontrobly, screamed, ¡°Mom, stop it!¡± She just felt that she had beenpletely humiliated, with her self esteem in pieces. Her mind was left nk. She would only suffer from everyone¡¯s gossiping if she were to stay there any longer, so she just ran out of the manor. ¡°Sis!¡± Beatrice was worried about her sister and hurriedly chased after her. Stomping her feet, ire said, ¡°Hmph, she must have had a concussion to like a loser like him.¡± Some of the guests came up to calm her down. After a couple of words, ire was overjoyed again as she turned to everyone and said, ¡°I¡¯m not angry, but I¡¯m happy! I finally got rid of that useless loser! Let me tell you guys something, Spark Rockefeller of Rockefeller Group hade by our ce a few days ago just to remind us that he wanted to marry Dorothy! If it weren¡¯t for that trash, our Dorothy would have finally be a true Rockefeller¡¯s wife!¡± Sharpay snickered. ¡°Aunty, so you¡¯re saying that you want Cousin Dorothy to marry both the Rockefeller brothers? Tsk tsk, that must be an amazing feeling, right?¡± ire¡¯s expression darkened all of a sudden. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 270 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 270 Just then, an old man in traditional clothing walked into the manor with a smile while holding two bottles of wine. ¡°Hey Bardot! Your old pal is here to see you! Just look at what I¡¯ve brought you, it¡¯ s the thirty-year-old Dalva tawny port!¡± Upon hearing the old man¡¯s voice, Aidan immediately rushed up to him while donning a bright smile. ¡°Lawrence, didn¡¯t you say that the Archaeological Society will be having a meeting today? Why did you rush over here then?¡± This old man was Christopher Lawrence, he used to teach History back in the same school as Aidan. However, this old man joined the Archaeological Societyter on. Now, he had a different position as an official in the archaeology industry. Naturally, Aidan was overjoyed to see him. Christopher smiled as he said, ¡°I came as soon as the meeting ended.¡± Just then, he took a nce at the ground and noticed The Landscape that had been stomped by ire. Although he could only see parts of the painting, he was able to identify it. Christopher was shocked all of a sudden. After cing the wine on the ground, he picked up the painting. ¡°Bardot, this is¡­ Isn¡¯t this, The Landscape?¡± His heart sank with restlessness. The more he looked at the painting, the more upset he looked. Aidan smiled and said, ¡°Oh Lawrence, just look at how panicked you are over a fake painting of The Landscape. It¡¯s just a faux given by a loser. You¡¯re an archaeologist for god¡¯s sake. Just look at the area with the stamp, it has been burnt off. They are too clumsy and couldn¡¯t even get the stamp right, it¡¯s clearly the fakest of fakes.¡± ¡°You¡¯re calling this a fake?¡± Christopher¡¯s eyes widened in anger, even his beards stood up. ire, who rushed over, pointed at the painting and said, ¡°Mr. Lawrence, of course this is fake! It¡¯s a gift from my useless son-inw. No wait, from my ex son-inw! How dare he present a fake painting to my father? That¡¯s why I tore it apart and stomped on it twice in front of him, just so this can¡¯t be used to scam others.¡± ¡°You tore it apart and even stomped on it twice?¡± Grimaced in intense anger, Christopher pped ire across the face. ire was stunned. ¡°Mr. Lawrence, why did you p me?¡± Christopher was heartbroken. ¡°You dumbass! You absolute idiot! You¡¯ve ruined a beautiful art piece! Who told you that this was a fake? This is the original copy of The Landscape by Jean Pucelli! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. It¡¯s one of his priceless works that has been passed down! It¡¯s priceless, you hear me?! How, how dare you tear it apart?! You¡¯ll be condemned through the ages!¡± Tears started trickling down Christopher¡¯s face. For an archaeologist, nothing was more painful than seeing a priceless treasure getting ruined by fools. Everyone¡¯ s chest tightened in shock and thought, ¡®If this is the real copy of The Landscape, what about the one that Edison presented?¡¯ Aidan frowned and said, ¡°Lawrence, are you sure this is the original copy?¡± Christopher replied, ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no doubt about it! Do you think it¡¯s a fake because of this burnt area? I guess you¡¯re a fool too. That¡¯s because the painting had experienced a fire when it was passed down. It took tremendous effort to save the painting back then, I didn¡¯t expect it to get ruined by your daughter!¡± Adrianna immediately snatched the drawing given by Edison. ¡°Mr. Lawrence, you must be mistaken. Look, this is the original copy of The Landscape by Jean Pucelli. My son-inw bought it with ten million dors in an auction.¡± After taking a nce at the painting, Christopher spat on it. ¡°This is a fake painting! There have been a few fake copies of Jean Pucelli¡¯s arts lurking in the counterfeit markettely. They are all cheap counterfeits, printed digitally. This is one of them, it costs a hundred dors at most.¡± ¡°What? A hundred dors?!¡± Everyone was shocked. ire, who felt hard to breathe due to anxiety, immediately asked, ¡°Mr. Lawrence, then how much does this original copy cost?¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 271 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 271 ¡°How much does it cost?¡± Christopher red at ire with murderous intent. After that, he said, heartbroken, ¡°Jean Peculli¡¯s artworks are priceless, you wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it even if you wanted to. However, if The Landscape really were to be put up in an auction, it should be way more expensive than the one that was bidded in Port Cityst time, with a worth at least a billion dors.¡± ¡®What?! It¡¯s actually worth a billion dors?!¡¯ Upon hearing those words, ire thought as she fell and sat on the ground, due to her legs enervated. Realizing that she had tore a billion dors apart, she wanted to ram her head into a wall out of regret. After all it was a billion dors, when would she have the opportunity to see such arge amount of money? On the other hand, Edison, who was ashen-faced, immediately exined as he faced Sharpay and Adrianna with doubtful looks on their face, ¡°Sharpay, Aunty, I was fooled too. F*ck, I¡¯ll demand a proper exnation tomorrow.¡± Christopher said, ¡°I¡¯ll keep this torn art piece for now. When I get backter, I¡¯ll check if there¡¯s any way I could fix it.¡± Aidan hurriedly replied, ¡°Alright, sure. Sorry for the trouble, Lawrence.¡± Suddenly, Christopher took another nce at the ground and noticed the smushed snow lotus. Shocked, he hurriedly kneeled down and took one of the petals up to his nose. He took a sniff and even tasted it. Soon after, he yelled out of anger again, ¡°This is a hundred-year-old snow lotus! Who was it?! Who the hell stomped a priceless treasure like this?! Another priceless treasure ruined! Oh dear god!¡± As he once again mentioned that another priceless treasure was ruined, ire was shocked so she asked, ¡°Mr. Lawrence, what¡¯s with you again? Doesn¡¯t this cost around twenty dors? It can be purchased abundantly online! Not even a dog would want to eat this, that¡¯s why I stomped on it.¡± Christopher¡¯s eyes were filled with fury. ¡°So it was you insolent fool again! I really wish I could slice your legs off! If you were to be my daughter, I would¡¯ve had my wife aborted you!¡± Aidan asked, ¡°Lawrence, is this really valuable?¡± Christopher replied, ¡°A medical herbs auction was held a few days ago. A hundred-year- old snow lotus was bidded for fifty million dors, do you still think it¡¯s not worthy? This one should cost at least thirty million dors. Now that it¡¯s ruined, it¡¯s all for naught!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ire screamed as she was engulfed by regret. With just a few stomps, she had trampled a billion and 30 million dors. Adrianna stared at ire as she let out a sardonicugh. ¡°Oh Sis, you¡¯re really Dad¡¯s great daughter. You stomped your son-inw¡¯s hundreds million dor gift into nothing. You totally did it on purpose because you don¡¯t want Dad to have a nice birthday! Hmph, just look at you now, you have no present for Dad and even your son-inw ran away. What a shocker! My son-inw is much better, at least Dad still has this hundred-year-old ginseng.¡± Christopher took a look at the said ginseng andughed. ¡°Pfft, this is just a five-dor garden ginseng from the northeast. How dare you im that it¡¯s a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, what a joke!¡± Sharpay froze. Jean Pucelli¡¯s fake painting had upset her quite a fair bit already. Now that the wild ginseng was a fake as well, wasn¡¯t it just too much? After having egg on her face, Adrianna turned to Edison and asked, ¡°Oh my dear son-inw, have you been tricked again?¡± Just then, Christopher stared at Edison and said, ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you the mechanic from Tigress Mechanics? Edison was it? Have you fixed the Ferrari that my granddaughter brought to your auto repair shop?¡± Sharpay was shocked. ¡°What? An auto repair shop? Edison, aren¡¯t you the executive in Yowell Group?¡± Edison had decided to dump Sharpay long ago, so he immediately handed the car key over to Christopher. ¡°Your granddaughter¡¯s car is outside. Sharpay, it¡¯s over between us. Let¡¯s never meet from now on.¡± He then rushed out of the manor as fast as he could. Indeed, he started an auto repair shop. Furthermore, his shop was one of Thousand Miles Conglomerate¡¯s subordinate and that was how he knew about Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Bumping into her today had almost caused him to faint out of shock.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Edison ran off! Edison¡­ He¡¯s not an executive in Yowell Group, he¡¯s a liar!¡± ¡°Not only did he lie about the presents and the car, but he also lied about his identity!¡± Sharpay was extremely dejected as she fell and sat on the ground. Adrianna and Taylor tried catching up to him, but to no avail. Every guest in Bardot Manor looked at each other and had their eyes widened, with their mouths agape. Never did they think that the celebration would end up with so many twists and turns. Edison, who appeared morously at first, ended up being a liar. On the other hand, Alex, who was detested by everyone, seemed not what they all thought he was. More importantly, the wife of William Rockefeller, the founder of Rockefeller group with Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. assets of three hundred billion dors, had woken up from hera. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 272 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 272 Could it be that Rockefeller Group would have a major change? *** On the way home, Waltz drove the Lamborghini whereas Alex was in the passenger seat. On the other hand, Brittany and Maya were in another car. ¡°Senior, stop being upset about it. You may have lost one wife, but now you have two! It¡¯s a win for you!¡± Waltz triedforting him after seeing his gloomy expression. She even ced her hand on his arm and scratched him gently with her nails, after receiving no reaction from him. Alex couldn¡¯t bear ignoring her any further. ¡°Pay attention to the road, or else we might end up in an ident.¡± Waltz smiled. ¡°Okay!¡± Alex sighed. ¡°You¡¯re the one who brought my mom over, right?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± She paused for a moment before she continued, ¡°Mom forced me to do it. She had been second guessing about your life this whole while!¡± ¡°Why are you calling her Mom? Are you not shy in the slightest?¡± ¡°Your mom was the one who said so. She¡¯s the empress of this family, I can¡¯t disobey her!¡± Waltz chuckled. ¡°A lot of people knew about your situation with the Assexes. As the Steel Woman, do you really think she¡¯s that oblivious? She could¡¯ve gotten this information just by asking some random people. You¡¯re her own son, how could she not be angry? It¡¯s good that you are going to get divorced. If you really don¡¯t want to let go of Dorothy, we could always kidnap her! I don¡¯t mind at all.¡± Facing a female thug like Waltz, what else could Alex say? However, at this moment, never did they expect that they would be greeted by a great, silently approaching danger soon. Somewhere in the hillside, Pepper and a skinny man stood under a tree. The man was assembling a sniper with swift movements. ¡°ck Skeleton, I¡¯ve done everything you asked of me, I¡¯m going to leave the rest to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s no person in the world that couldn¡¯t be killed by me, ck Skeleton.¡± ¡°Be careful, that man is a powerful martial artist. Based on his strength, he¡¯s most likely at Mystic rank.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. No matter how powerful he is, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take even one shot from this baby.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news then. I¡¯ll serve the thing that you want with my Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. both hands after you¡¯ve aplished your mission.¡± Pepper chuckled as she stared down at the streets from the hillside. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Alex and the others would definitely drive through this road to return to Maple Vi. Soon after, Alex¡¯s car approached the road. Waltz was still teasing Alex, but at this moment, a g truck on the opposite of the road suddenly took a sharp turn and was about to crash into Waltz¡¯s Lamborghini. ¡°Careful!¡± ¡°Oh f*ck!¡± Both Alex and Waltz screamed. Waltz immediately turned the steering wheel and stomped hard on the pedal. Their car drifted into an S-shaped curve, brushing against the railings on the side to avoid the truck. A string sparks was induced due to the friction between the car and the stainless steel railings. Maya, who was driving the car behind them, immediately pulled the emergency brake and managed to stop the car in thest second. ¡°Bastard! Do they even know how to drive?¡± Princess Fleur yelled, but she was so scared that cold bullets started trickling down her forehead. Unexpectedly, another g truck rushed toward their direction as well. Alex was struck by a sense of d¨¦ja vu, as if he went back in time to when he and Michelle were being chased. However, this time Waltz initiated the emergency brake and drifted, spinning in a full circle, only then did she manage to narrowly escape the ident. Just then, ck Skeleton, who was smiling coldly on top of the hill, pulled the trigger hard. A spark of fire shed through the dark. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 273 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 273 The moment the spark of fire shed in the dark, Alex¡¯s sense of danger peaked. ¡°Careful!¡± His body immediately moved out of reflex before he could think about anything else. He instinctively grabbed Waltz¡¯s shoulder and pushed her onto hisp. Then, he forcefully pushed down the Lamborghini¡¯s passenger seat with his back, lying down. It was almost the same time that a bullet flew through the car windows. Flying over the driver¡¯s seat, the bullet brushed over Alex¡¯s nose and passed through the other side of the window. ¡°An assassin!¡± Adrenaline rose in Alex¡¯s body, causing the Chi of the Force and the divine power in his energy core to be violently stirred. Waltz was one of the Three Great Chieftains of California¡¯s underworld, hence she knew what was going on immediately: they were facing a sniper. Vroom! Suddenly, anotherrge truck on the opposite side of the road rammed toward them. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. If the Lamborghini were to get hit, both of them would end up bing t patties, let alone survival. Waltz was lying on Alex¡¯sp, hence she didn¡¯t notice the truck immediately. After lifting up her head, a bright, blinding light shone through the window, all she could see was a world of pure white. ¡°Ah!¡± Alex let out a roar with a burst of Chi as he grabbed onto Waltz¡¯s seatbelt, with veins on his arms bulging. With a tremendous force, the seatbelt was pulled and torn into two halves. He then kicked open the car door and rolled out while holding Waltz in his arms. It was almost at the same time that the truck ran into the Lamborghini. The fifteen-million-dor luxurious car was instantly ruined, breaking into millions of pieces. ¡°Damn it!¡± ck Skeleton cursed under his breath after realizing that the bullet had missed Alex. In the next moment, he aimed at his target and pulled the trigger once again. Bang! However, the bullet missed Alex again. Through his sniper scope, he could see that the man narrowly avoided the bullet in the fine line between life and death, as if he was possessed by a deity and could predict the danger. Pepper took a nce at the road and immediately retreated into the dark after letting out a huff. She thought, ¡®He¡¯s a Mystic ranked fighter. If he can¡¯t be killed now, it wouldn¡¯t be simple to assassinate him again.¡¯ Just then, she noticed that Alex picked up the broken door of the Lamborghini. With a loud roar, he threw the heavy door toward their direction. ¡°Oh my god!¡± ck Skeleton¡¯s eyes were widened. The distance between them and the road was at about three hundred meters. Furthermore, they were situated at a higher ce. ck Skeleton could not help but think if Alex was The Hulk, for throwing such a heavy door toward them despite the far distance. He watched the flying car door getting closer. In the bat of an eye, it appeared in front of ck Skeleton, so he immediately jumped to the back to dodge it. Bang! The car door crashed into the hill. However, it missed the two by the slightest distance and didn¡¯t hit their actual position. Still, this was enough to shock them to the core. ck Skeleton trembled in fear as he said, ¡°F*ck, what kind of monster are you up against?¡± Pepper huffed. ¡°You¡¯re just weak. I¡¯ll be off now, deal with this on your own.¡± After speaking, the woman didn¡¯t hesitate one bit and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye. ck Skeleton yelled, ¡°Damn b*tch, you tricked me!¡± As a famous assassin, ck Skeleton didn¡¯t want to give up just yet. Otherwise, it would ruin his reputation, especially when the opportunity to fight such a strong opponent was rare. He was determined to earn Pepper¡¯s reward as well. Hence, he ran up to the hill and ced his treasured weapon again. As he was looking for his target, he saw arge car frame suddenly flying toward him, spinning in mid air. ¡®Ah! This man is really a devil!¡¯ It was ck Skeleton¡¯sst thought before he met his demise. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 274 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 274 The car frame smashed him into two halves. Meanwhile, Waltz beat up the g truck drivers frically. Since she was at half step to Mystic rank, handling small fry like them was a piece of cake. A few momentster, all three truck drivers died from her attacks. The two managed to avert the crisis. Alex then noticed that blood was flooding out of Waltz¡¯s upper arm, it was a terrifying sight. He immediately rushed over and held her. ¡°Waltz, you¡¯re hurt! Are you alright?¡± Waltz, who was enraged and merciless earlier, curved her mouth into a frown and fell into Alex¡¯s arms as she grimaced in immense pain. ¡°Senior, I don¡¯t think I have much time left. I have something I wish to do before I die, can you help me to grant that wish?¡± Alex panicked. ¡°Waltz, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely save you.¡± Waltz replied, ¡°No, my wish is more important right now, or else I won¡¯t ever rest in peace. Quick, lean forward, I can¡¯t hold it any longer.¡± Alex leaned forward instinctively. Smooch! Waltz then kissed Alex on the lips. ¡°You are crazy!¡± Alex pushed Waltz right away as he thought, ¡®How can she pull a joke like this at such a time?¡¯ Just then, Brittany and Maya rushed over to them as they were extremely worried about the two. The truck had blocked their field of vision just a while ago. However, seeing the Lamborghini in such a damaged state, they let out a scream while covering their mouths with their hands. ¡°You guys should find a safe ce to hide for now, I have to go up there and take a look.¡± Alex immediately rushed toward where ck Skeleton was, but what met his eyes was a corpse. He rummaged through ck Skeleton¡¯s pockets, yet he couldn¡¯t find anything. After returning to the others, Waltz said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Senior. I¡¯ve already called my men from Thousand Miles. They¡¯ll be here soon to clean this up.¡± Alex took a look at the scene. ¡°Can they really clean it up though?¡± Waltz replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Soon after, the four of them got into the same car and sped off. After a while, a group of men rushed to the scene and drove the three trucks away, they even cleaned up the Lamborghini. If there weren¡¯t any cameras nearby, the officials would be puzzled even if they arrived at the scene. *** At Maple Vi, Alex tended to Waltz¡¯s wound. She may have pretended that she was heavily wounded a while ago just to kiss Alex, yet she was indeed wounded. When the Lamborghini was being crushed, a piece of steel shard flew right into her shoulder. It was fortunate that it didn¡¯t hit her heart, or else Alex wouldn¡¯t be able to save her, despite his great medical skills. ¡°It might hurt a little when I take it out, so try to endure it!¡± Alex said calmly after looking at Waltz¡¯s shoulder that was drenched in blood and the fair chest next to it. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m afraid of pain. You have to be gentle, this is my first time after all¡­ getting wounded like this,¡± Waltz said in a coquettish and delicate voice. Brittany and Maya, who were watching the two at the side, had their eyebrows twitched. ¡°You didn¡¯t say so a while ago.¡± Alex plucked out the steel shard with force. The moment the shard was plucked out, a stream blood started flooding out of the wound. Alex and Waltz had an indifferent expression as they were numb to such wounds, whereas Brittany and Maya, who had never seen this much blood, were pale in the face. Brittany suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we head to the hospital? What will we do if the wound gets infectedter?¡± Waltz replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s not necessary to go to the hospital for a small wound like this. It¡¯s just that¡­ Will this leave a scar? Will you be disgusted by me if I have a scar?¡± ¡°Ahem, I should just head out!¡± Maya said and left with flushed cheeks. After all, she could never say such flirtatious words like Waltz, despite her desire to do so. After disinfecting and bandaging the wound, everything was settled. Alex turned to Brittany and said, ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s safe for us to stay in California. We should rush to Michigan during the night.¡± Waltz asked, ¡°Do you think the Rockefellers did this?¡± Alex replied, ¡°I¡¯ll find out¡± Brittany was a decisive woman too. After seeing such a gruesome scene, she was terrified. After all, this was a horrifying yet unfamiliar territory for her. If John was the mastermind behind the attacks, he definitely wouldn¡¯t stop attacking them after failing once. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll leave in a bit!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. However, as they were preparing to head toward Michigan, Alex¡¯s phone suddenly chimed. ¡°Hey, Rockefeller you bastard. You¡¯re done for. You murdered someone!¡± The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 275 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 275 Alex¡¯s heart sunk with restlessness. After taking a nce at Waltz, he headed toward the door and walked out. He recognized that voice from the phone, it was Anna Coleman from Divine Constabry. It was obvious that she had some sort of evidence in hand for her to go straight to the point and say those words confidently. That would mean that Waltz¡¯s men somehow left some clues after cleaning the scene. However, he put some thought into it and figured that it was normal. After all, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was just a private force in California¡¯s underworld, how could it beparable with an international organization like Divine Constabry? However, he didn¡¯t worry one bit at all. After all, he was the victim during the whole process of the incident. His killing of the assassin could be justified as self- defense. ¡°Anna, are you poisoned today? Do you need me to force it out of you again?¡± Alex chuckled as he said. His words immediately enraged Anna. Being forced to urinate in public was extremely embarrassing. She felt humiliated as soon as she recalled that greatest shame of her life, yet Alex still dared to rub the sensitive subject in her face. While clenching her teeth, Anna said, ¡°You¡¯re in deep trouble, don¡¯t you know that? A murderer must pay with his life, do you really have a death wish?¡± Alex replied calmly, ¡°Anna, your words earlier makes me doubt Divine Constabry¡¯s justice and professionalism. Are you sure you¡¯re not the one who discredited me in front of Divine Constabry? Oh right, looks like I took a video yesterday. I think Michelle Yowell might be interested to watch it.¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± Anna¡¯s voice instantly turned into a high and loud pitch, and it even started bing hoarse. At this moment, there was someone next to her, it was her team leader, who was a handsome man in his thirties. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. After all, every team leader in Divine Constabry were amazing fighters. Their cultivation levels were at least at Mystic rank. As Anna¡¯s sudden loud voice rang through the team leader¡¯s ears, he instantly seemed puzzled. Then, he gently cleared his throat and signalled Anna with his eyes. Only then did Anna lower her pitch and huffed. ¡°Alex Rockefeller, you just killed a few people at the ring road. Do you really think we won¡¯t be able to find that out if you asked those men fromThousand Miles Conglomerate to handle it?¡± Alex sighed secretly, his guess was correct. ¡°Then, you should be able to find out the victim in this incident, right?¡± ¡°Of course, that¡¯s why I¡¯m calling you but not arresting you in person. I¡¯ll be honest with you, the person that you killed with a car is our person of interest. Now that he¡¯s dead and we¡¯ve lost our trail. We need you toe over, for a proper exnation.¡± Alex frowned and did not reply. Anna continued, ¡°You don¡¯t want us toe over to your ce, do you?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Fine, send me the address.¡± *** Brittany and the others couldn¡¯t understand the reason Alex needed to go out and meet up with a friend at a crucial time like this. ¡°Is it Dorothy?¡± Brittany asked with a darkened expression. She had not forgiven both the mother and daughter of the Assexes just yet! Brittany was set on having the two to get a divorce, but she was just slightly distracted by their sudden situation of life and death as of now. Alex shook his head. ¡°Nope.¡± He really wanted to see Dorothy, yet he had to deal with the assassin matter beforehand. He still knew how to set his priorities straight. Brittany said, ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. Who else would you be seeing thiste at night?¡± Alex replied, ¡°Members of Divine Constabry.¡± Brittany was taken aback as soon as she heard the name of that organization, her pupils constricted and color drained from her face as well. Alex was puzzled with her reaction, so he asked, ¡°Mom, do you know Divine Constabry?¡± Brittany only shook her head, saying that she had no idea about the organization. Alex could feel his chest tighten slightly as he knew that his mother did not tell the truth. It seemed like she might be hiding quite a lot of secrets from him too. It could also be that he used to be too naive and failed to understand his parents¡¯ deeds in the past. ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a bit. I might be able to find who¡¯s the one behind this.¡± Waltz suggested that they should stay at her ce to prevent any more assassinations. Alex, on the other hand, headed toward the destination as promised. The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 276 The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 276 It was a private viin a suburban area. The environment was elegant and fairly quiet. There was only this one vi, without any other buildings in the radius of five hundred metres of the area. The back of the vi faced mountains, whereas the front vi faced Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. a river. It seemed to have a geomantic omen, it was very suitable for buildingrge graveyards. After lifting his head and looking into the vi, Alex rang the doorbell. With a loud click, the heavy steel gate opened up. At the same time, a bright light shone inside, illuminating the front yard in the dark night, as if the sun had subdued the darkness. At first nce, the front yard was not like the garden paths in normal vis. There weren¡¯t any flowers or trees, all it had was a lifeless cement floor. A built man stood in the middle of the yard, he was a head taller than Alex. Alex¡¯s gaze immediately sharpened as he tried to sense the man¡¯s Chi. Moreover, as his gaze went past the man and looked up to the third floor of the vi, he could sense that someone else was looking down at him through the windows. Two other people stood by the window of the third floor, they were Anna, and her team leader, Sky Melvis. Sky smiled as he said, ¡°He found us.¡± However, Anna didn¡¯t believe that. ¡°No way, all the windows here are made of one-way mirror sses. Moreover, the room isn¡¯t even lit. How could he possibly find us? I¡¯d say that he was just staring at a random corner, his eyes disgust me.¡± Sky smiled and didn¡¯t say another word. Anna continued, ¡°Leader Sky, you¡¯re overestimating his abilities by sending Steel Tower to test him. I fought him for ten minutes, yet I lost to him by half a move. Steel Tower would kill him with just one punch.¡± Sky shook his head. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Anna muttered, ¡°Do you really want him to join Divine Constabry? This guy lives off his wife, his wife has total control over him! If he ever joins, it would lower Divine Constabry¡¯s standards!¡± Sky replied, ¡°Why are you so against him? He somehow saved your life, or else you would¡¯ve ended up in a much worse fate yesterday. He even helped us solve a case.¡± ¡°I just dislike him. Hmph, he¡¯s also a bastard who secretly learned my martial arts.¡± Just then, Alex folded his arms behind his back, slowly walking to the middle of the yard. He then stopped in front of Steel Tower. ¡°I¡¯m here for Anna Coleman,¡± Alex said calmly. ¡°Hmm!¡± Steel Tower responded with a snort. He opened his eyes and stared down at Alex. ¡°Hey kiddo, I heard that you secretly learned Anna¡¯s Dragon-Tusk Punch, you seem like you have some skills. If you want to see Anna, you have to endure my attacks for one minute. If you could handle that, then I¡¯ll let you pass.¡± Alex¡¯s mouth curved up slightly, he took a nce at the third floor once more. He thought, ¡®Is this how you¡¯re trying to humble me down?¡¯ He shook his head. ¡°A minute? That would be too long.¡± Steel Towerughed heartily while showing his white teeth. ¡°You can¡¯t handle a minute? You really¡­ Know your limits. How about half a minute then?¡± Alex shook his head again. ¡°That¡¯s still too long.¡± ¡°No way. Are you just a weakling then?¡± ¡°What I¡¯m trying to say is, if you could block one punch from me, I¡¯ll admit defeat.¡± Alex¡¯s arms were still folded behind his back and his expression was extremely calm. However, his words had almost caused Steel Tower to snap. His words had reached Anna¡¯s ears as well, loud and clear. She huffed. ¡°One punch? This guy is so arrogant like a lunatic, does he really think he¡¯s Grandmaster? I¡¯d say that he¡¯s the one who couldn¡¯t even endure one punch from Steel Tower¡­ ¡± Before she could finish her speech, Steel Tower and Alex lunged toward each other. Alex immediately swung his fist toward Steel Tower. Steel Tower also swung his fist to intercept Alex¡¯s attack but he was too slow. When his arm was extended halfway, Alex punched him right in the gut. Steel Tower¡¯s sturdy, towerlike body flew right back as if he were a cannonball. Anna¡¯s words trailed off, she almost bit her tongue out of shock Sky was startled as well, his eyes lit up. Alex looked up to the third floor. ¡°Anna Coleman, are you done watching? Can you
