All Chapters of The Pinnacle of Life: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

After the dinner, Alex and Dorothy left Maple Villa 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?“How come you are staying at Maple Villa?“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 villa in return?”Alex said, “Uhmm... we are just staying temporarily. He knew that we had no accommodation 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

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 Claire visit with her.They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutes later.As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as she complained, “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 done complaining, Alex landed another slap 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 slapping Emma, “My mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do so, but you’re not qualified at

Alex put down Claire’s fair, tender feet and said, “I need to answer a call.”Claire 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 places.” 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’ll come over.”“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”After Alex finished the call, he saw Claire 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?”

The leader had a firm attitude. He glared at Alex and refused to utter a word. Alex snapped his finger. “Okay then. Let me see how firm you are. If you can last 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 to comprehend the situation. Not even a minute — it was just three seconds — the homicide leader fell to the ground with a thud as his will collapsed. “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 l

“.....”Benny also let out a laugh. “Dorothy, do you really think that Assex Constructions will transfer 70% of the subsidiary company shares in City South to you? You’re too naive. Keep on dreaming.”“What?” Dorothy exclaimed 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 subsidiary company 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 welcome you both, so you can get out of he
