The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1071
Nobody expected that sudden announcement from Daya Stoermer.
Inherently, Daya was more popular than Stephen Hendrix. In addition, he had been resting for three years due to the car accident.
About a dozen minutes later, Daya’s Instagram post had surpassed Stephen’s, reaching the top of the trending headline searches.
As for the identity of “husband” mentioned by Daya, it had been a heated discussion among the netizens. However, since he was the owner who developed the product, Lush Scar Removal Cream from Lush Cosmetics, he must be greatly related to Lush Cosmetics.
Some of the officials who had access to the archival information, immediately went to look up for the legal person, current president and executives in charge of Lush Cosmetics. It turned out that the legal person was a young woman named Maya Howards. Whereas, information about the current president, Brittany Rockefeller and various files about her could not be found at all.
This was because after Alex was promoted to the elder of Divine Constabulary, all his files as well as the files of the people closest to him had become top secret.

At Dorothy-Alex Constructions in California, Dorothy was upset when she looked at Daya’s message that heated up the internet through her phone.
“Hmph! Thief!” She threw her phone at the table.
Star-like glisten flashed through her pair of gloomy eyes.
“Ms. Assex!”
At this moment, a department manager walked in.
“What’s the matter?”
“Something went wrong with the Trinity International project… At first, we had already signed the contract and arranged for the procurement of the materials too, but the other party suddenly said they wanted to cancel the contract and would not compensate us for the penalty for the breach of contract.”
Dorothy’s eyes turned sharped. “Why?”
The manager looked at Dorothy carefully and said, “Mr. Maldini said that he asked you to have dinner with him at first but you didn’t show him respect by not attending the dinner. So, he cancelled the contract. He threatened us that if we ever ask him for compensation, he will make our Dorothy-Alex Constructions close down within a month… Ms. Assex, Trinity International has a mighty background. Mr. Maldini’s father-in-law is a government official and his position is quite high too.”
“Hmph!” Dorothy let out a cold grunt. “That Maldini, is he looking for his own death? Tell Secretary Benmore about this and let her handle it. I want him to pay ten times the amount of penalty for breaching the contract!”
After a pause, she suddenly changed her mind.
“Hold on a minute. There’s no need to look for Secretary Benmore. You can go out first. I’ll handle it myself!”
When the manager left, Dorothy grabbed her phone again and made a phone call. She took a deep breath. “Hubby, save me!”
The manager earlier would have been dumbfounded if he were to hear those words.
***
Meanwhile, Alex was entangled with Daya!
It was because Daya was going to leave by tomorrow to officially start her Test of Hell.
The reason why the post on her Instagram that was tantamount announcing her love affair was also related to this matter. It would be a narrow escape to survive the Test of Hell. Even though she was confident in herself and well prepared, who could guarantee her absolute safety?
According to Alex’s intention, he did not want her to take the risk. With his assistance, he could help her to embark on the journey of cultivation as well.
However, one shouldn’t see Daya as a mere singing celebrity and she appeared to be soft and weak during normal times. Whenever she made a decision, there would not be a turning back at all. Her mother, Carey Stoermers was reluctant to let her go in every possible way, yet she still bent on the same path.
“I won’t be your burden!”
“And won’t let your aunt look down on me!”
Hence, since today would be the last time the both of them getting together before parting, naturally it would be very intense.
Unexpectedly, Alex received a call from Dorothy asking for help. He immediately jumped in shock. “Dorothy, what happened?”
Dorothy said, “Someone wants me to sleep with him. Come quickly!”
“What?!”
In the split second, Alex could feel that his flame of love had turned into the flame of anger. “Which b*stard is it this time round? Where are you?”
“I’m in my office, please hurry up! Or else, you’ll only have one wife left!”
After finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Alex was holding onto his phone while he looked down at Daya. “Um…”
Daya also looked at him and said gently, “You should go! This is good as well. At least I have something to ponder on. Wait for me to come back and we’ll continue the other half! I’ll go by myself tomorrow. I don’t like the feeling of saying goodbye.”
Alex stared at her for a long time.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1072
He kissed her fiercely. Tears gently flicked on Daya’s cheeks.
Chomp!
She bit him on his lips until it bled.
“Remember to always miss me!”
“I will!”
“Wait for my return and I’ll give birth to a big fat kid for you.”
“Sure!”
“Hubby, you have to be well too!”
***
Alex left Daya’s room and immediately he called Keith Yowell.
“Mr. Yowell, I need you to go to Dorothy-Alex Constructions to protect Dorothy.”
“I’ll be there in a while.”
When Keith received the call, he was slightly stunned. Based on his understanding, Alex and Dorothy had long been divorced. Now, it seemed like it may not be what he had imagined.
An hour or more later, Alex rushed to Dorothy-Alex Constructions. He saw Dorothy, who was sitting on the couch in her office, talking to Keith. Nobody else was present at the scene.
Alex was relieved when he saw that Dorothy was still intact. And then, a whim struck him. Only then did he realize that Dorothy most likely lied to him about the situation this time. She was in her office, who could come to sleep with her here?
However, he could not say anything either.
“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Yowell!” Alex said first to Keith.
Keith had received a rejuvenation pill from Alex previously. Not only did it give him a lot of vitality, but it had also improved his cultivation. After going through so much, Alex had long been firmly recognized by Keith as a powerful patron. Keith would ride on his coattails no matter what. Not to mention a small matter like this, he would go through hell and high water without a frown.
“You’re most welcomed, Mr. Rockefeller. It’s no trouble at all!” Keith said as he stood up, “I have now found out that Ms. Assex is very knowledgeable and has a great memory. She has different perspectives in many aspects. Talking to Ms. Assex has benefitted an old man like me a lot.”
‘Um…’
Alex looked at the expressions of the two of them. He was surprised as they did not seem like they were working together to tell him a joke. However, Keith had lived for a long period of life and he was also the patriarch of one of the four great families in California. In terms of knowledge, he was not someone whom Dorothy could compare with. For him to say such words, it was too weird.
Dorothy looked toward Alex. At a glance, she could see the wound on Alex’s lips. It even had a row of dainty teeth marks.
At that moment, the sea of jealousy was tumbling.
Luckily, Keith was around, so she did not show her long face to Alex. Instead, she said, “You speak too highly of me, Mr. Yowell. I just love to read some miscellaneous books during my free time. Everything I said are other people’s experiences. How could I compare myself with you, Mr. Yowell.”
After that, Keith sensibly stood up and left after saying goodbye.
Alex went to pull Dorothy. “Honey…”
Dorothy gently dodged. “It seems someone has become someone else’s husband. Who on the internet doesn’t know about it? Don’t simply call me your honey, or else people may get the wrong idea.”
Alex sighed secretly. He thought, ‘Sure enough, it’s because she saw the news on the internet.’
He was inexplicably a bit irritated when he looked at her.
He abandoned Daya just to rush back to California and this was the treatment that he got. Compared with Daya’s understanding, the feeling that Dorothy gave him was actually getting worse.
Of course, he knew that this was his problem.
“What is it? Are you still mad at me?”
Dorothy showed a stern face. “What am I supposed to do with you when you meet me while carrying another woman’s smell on you and having her bite marks on your lips too?”
“Get in the shower! We’ll go beat up the person after you shower!”
“Huh? Someone really wants to sleep with you?”
“Hmph! Many people would love to sleep with me! If you’re too busy, I can always find someone else to replace you.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1073
How could Alex let anyone else replace him on a matter like this?
Would that not turn himself into a cuckold?
He asked, “Who wants to sleep with you?”
“The CEO of Trinity International. His last name is Maldini. He’s a fat guy with a big head. He said that if I don’t sleep with him, he’ll make sure that our Dorothy-Alex Constructions be closed down. Look, I’m just a weak woman and my husband only cares about dating another woman. All I could do is offer my body to safeguard the company.”
“Um… I was in Michigan. I don’t have time to go dating as well.”
“Oh. So did a dog bite your lips?”
“Cough, cough! Daya is leaving! She will be going through the family’s Test of Hell that has a slim chance of survival. She did it for me.”
Dorothy’s expression was frozen. She pouted her lips as she said, “In the end, you’re truly the worst of all. You knew that you’re in trouble, yet you still provoked her. If she’s dead… Pooh, pooh, pooh. It will be your fault.”
After that, Alex went to shower.
He came over in a hurry. Indeed, he still had Daya’s smell on him. It was no wonder that Dorothy would be furious. Thinking about it from another angle, Dorothy had the smell of another man on her…
‘Damn, how is this okay?’
While he was taking a shower, Dorothy made a call to Trinity International.
“Mr. Maldini, what’s going on? You’ve signed the contract, how could you cancel it as you wish? You are a powerful figure, yet you do things too spontaneously,” said Dorothy in a hollowed tone.
On the other end, it was the CEO of Trinity International with a fat head, big ears and body that was as fat as a pig, Benedict Maldini.
Benedict felt his entire body tingling when he heard Dorothy’s delicate voice.
At this moment, he was hugging his secretary and having fun in his office. Immediately, he was excited, so he laughed and said, “Ms. Assex, I’m used to being a spontaneous person. I do business based on the affinity at a glance. If someone pleases my eyes, I won’t frown the slightest even if it’s a five-billion-dollar business, let alone a fifty-million-dollar business. Ms. Assex, this contract depends on your sincerity.”
Dorothy sneered. Her eyes were as sharp as daggers but her voice remained sweet as she said, “According to Mr. Maldini, what should I do then? You can just say it directly.”
“Great. Since Ms. Assex has asked, I won’t hide it from you. I want you! At eight o’clock tonight, come to Riverside No. 7 Villa. If you do come, not only will I give you the contract, I’ll also add on another billion dollars of building materials contract.”
“Sure thing! It’s settled then, I’ll meet you at eight o’clock tonight. See you there!”
As Dorothy spoke, the cold light in her eyes was like a ten thousand year old frozen dagger. They were filled with murderous aura.
However, it just flashed past her eyes.
After looking at the bathroom door, Dorothy hung up the phone and lay on the couch lazily with various postures, like a noble consort laying on the side.
“Hubby, are you done yet?”
“My legs are sore, hurry up and massage them for me!”
Meanwhile, Benedict, who was on the other end, was beyond excited. He did not even want the service of Honey anymore. Hepushed her away. “Alright, go out and do your work. I’ll call you when I need you.”
Compared with Dorothy, Honey, who had seven or eight points for her beauty, could be directly thrown away. It was because Dorothy had two hundred points for her beauty.
Benedict was amazed by Dorothy when he first met her by chance. She was exactly the type of woman whom he dreamt of. After finding out that Dorothy owned a construction business, he purposefully signed a contract over there just to get close to Dorothy and then take possession of her for himself.
Benedict’s entire body was trembling with excitement when he thought of devouring the pretty woman whom he yearned day and night tonight. As for now, he had to conserve his strength.
Soon, it was eight o’clock at Riverside No. 7 Villa. Benedict dressed himself up carefully. He even meticulously prepared candles, red wine and pills.
The pills were good pills that were tailored specifically for men. After consumption, it could enhance the ability in a certain aspect.
There was also another kind of pill prepared for the woman. He was worried that Dorothy might get cold feet and did not want to continue. Wouldn’t his plan be spoiled?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1074
He even prepared a hidden camera to put it on the bed’s head in his luxurious room.
When the time came, it would be even more perfect for him to record the scene. Not only could he often take it out for enjoyment, but he could even use it as a bargaining chip to threaten her for a next time without any charge.
At eight o’clock sharp, his phone rang. It was from his subordinate who was guarding the main entrance of his villa.
“Mr. Maldini, Ms. Assex is here.”
“Alright! Let her in right away.”
If Benedict were to go over to the balcony of the villa at this time, he should be able to see not only Dorothy but also another man as well at the main entrance downstairs.
However, he did not go there.
Naturally, he did not see that the man was choking on the back of his bodyguard’s neck with a sharp needle placed right in front of his eye.
If he were to push it slightly inward, his eyeball would be ruined. He did not see it. Hence, he happily reached for the glass of water and took the pill beforehand.
Alex knocked the bodyguard out with a slap and pulled Dorothy, walking into the villa step by step. During the process, he still took his time to admire the environment and layout of the villa. He realized that this villa was more sophisticated than Maple No. 8 Villa. The swimming pool alone was twice as big as his.
“Seems like this Maldini is pretty rich,” said Alex.
“Then you should ask for more compensation. Demand ten times the compensation from him…”
Alex grunted. “I came all the way from Michigan and I even got scolded by my wife. How can ten times the compensation be enough? Are you treating me like a beggar? I need at least a hundred times more.”
“Sure. Take as much as you want.”
Screech!
The heavy and sophisticated door to the villa opened up. The two of them held hands as they walked in. Benedict, who was still excited at first, was a bit dumbfounded when he actually saw Dorothy pulling a man in. Then, his expression darkened.
He had the feeling of his woman had been picked up by another man.
“Ms. Assex, who is he? What do you mean by this?” Benedict asked with a cold expression.
“He’s my ex-husband.” Dorothy smiled as she said, “He knows that I’m coming to your place to sleep with you, so he purposefully rushed over from Michigan. He insisted on coming here. I had no choice but to let him come over and take a look!”
Benedict immediately sneered when he heard her, “So, it’s the ex-husband! Hmph, since you’re already not in a relationship with her anymore, why do you care so much about her? If Ms. Assex chooses to come over to my place, it means that she’s already my woman. It’s none of your business. If you are tactful, hurry and get lost. Or else, there won’t be a good consequence.”
After taking two glances at him, Alex immediately frowned. At a glance, he could tell that this man had consumed a drug that was specifically made for men.
At this moment, his eyes were red, his heart was pounding quickly and his blood was flowing in reverse.
“You’re quite romantic!”
Alex casually grabbed a glass of red wine. He shook his head as he said, “I wonder how effective this spiked wine is?”
Benedict’s heart pounded vigorously when he heard him. He said, “Nonsense! What spiked wine? Who spiked it?”
“You spiked it!”
“You… You hurry and get out of here now! Otherwise, I’ll get my bodyguard to break your legs before throwing you out of here!”
At this moment, a few people charged in hurriedly. The person taking the lead was Azure Storm.
It just happened that Benedict knew Azure. He said in surprise, “Bro Azure, why are you here?”
Azure did not even care about him and directly said to Alex, “I’m sorry, Bro Alex. I came late.”
Alex was too lazy to clean up a guy like Benedict. Therefore, when he came over, he had informed Azure to let him handle it.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1075
“What?” Benedict was stunned when he heard what Azure had just said to Alex. Inside his heart was like a stormy sea, with cold breeze blowing all over his body.
Certainly, Trinity International had some powers in California. However, it was far behind compared to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Plus, Azure was now known as the new king of South California’s underworld. How could he offend the man whom Azure called as his brother?”
“Bro Azure, this… Hehe, it’s just a small misunderstanding.”
“I just invited Ms. Assex to have a drink while talking about business.”
Alex shook the wine bottle. “A normal person wouldn’t dare to drink this wine of yours. The amount of drugs inside it is enough to get a sow horny after drinking it.”
‘Damn it!’
Upon hearing it, Azure immediately gave Benedict a big tight slap on his face, knocking off several teeth of his. “How dare you try to drug my ex-sister-in-law?”
“You’re looking for death!”
“Hold him down and beat him!”
The few people brought by Azure immediately pinned Benedict on the ground and violently beat him up until his leg was broken.
Benedict wailed in pain as he yelled, “Azure Storm, how dare you b*stard break my legs? Do you really think that I’m afraid of you? My father-in-law is Jacob Yoder. Just you wait! Don’t ever think about continuing your Thousand Miles Conglomerate in California anymore. And you, don’t ever be the new king of the underworld. I’ll uproot the entire underworld of California.”
Azure laughed. “Mr. Maldini, you must be joking! If your father-in-law, Jacob Yoder, could wipe out the underworld of California, he would have been the mayor of California. Would he still be pressured by others like now and couldn’t even be the deputy mayor?”
Benedict’s word earlier was only for threatening people. He also knew that his father-in-law was not able to clean up Thousand Miles Conglomerate nor wipe out the underworld. Hence, he could only beg once again. However, at this time, his drug began to take effect.
Azure’s men suddenly felt like something was not right as they were beating him. This guy, Benedict Maldini, was still crying bitterly earlier. Then, he actually started smiling. His expression was extremely wretched. He even touched himself with his hands.
“What the hell, Bro Azure? Is this guy sick?”
“Has he become dumb after taking a beating?”
After taking a look, Azure was surprised as well.
Alex said calmly, “He hasn’t become dumb after being beaten. He just took some pills beforehand and now the drugs have begun to take effect.”
Azure asked, “What kind of pills did he take?”
Alex looked at Azure and said, “His kidneys are even weaker than yours. ”
‘Damn it!’ Azure’s expression immediately darkened.
‘Can you not mention me when you’re talking about someone else having kidney deficiency? It’s so embarrassing, okay? I don’t even dare to look for a girlfriend now!’
Azure’s men were also tired of beating and asked, “Bro Azure, what should we do now? The drug’s effect on this guy seems quite strong. I heard that if one takes too much of those pills but doesn’t do that kind of thing whatsoever, he’ll die of overdosing.”
Alex’s expression turned very awful.
He thought that if Dorothy really were to come here to drink the wine alone, the consequences would be unimaginable after drinking it.
Killing such a person would be a bargain for him!
“I remember seeing a dog at the Villa’s entrance when I came in. Azure, bring the dog over here and feed it this wine.”
Azure’s eyes lightened up. He immediately brought the dog over.
Five minutes later, a magical scene happened.
Dorothy felt uncomfortable watching it. She rubbed her brows and said, “I’m feeling a bit unwell. We should leave first!”
Alex nodded his head and gave a few words to Azure. He specifically instructed Azure to have Trinity International paid for a hundred times the compensation for breach of contract.
He still trusted Azure’s ability in doing things. In terms of persecution, he was a man with promising talent. Hence, Alex was willing to give a chance to enhance his strength as well.
“By the way, last time I heard Waltz said that the lawyer lady from the Hauffer family in Michigan has been pursuing you? What do you think? You’re quite old now, you can consider her!” Alex asked while patting Azure on his shoulder as he suddenly remembered about this.
Azure’s expression immediately turned awful.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1076
Azure did not want to talk.
Alex wondered. “What’s with this expression? You are not a homosexual, right?”
Azure’s lips wriggled and finally said in a jarred voice, “I have bad kidneys.”
“Pfft!” Dorothy couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
This made Azure blush even more.
Alex pinched his chin and said, “A bad kidney is indeed a problem. When one wants to use a knife but suddenly finds that the knife is not good for use, it would be quite embarrassing.”
Dorothy quickly pinched him and whispered, “Are you not rubbing salt into another person’s wounds? He is already in bad condition, and you still say that?”
Azure really wanted to find a hole in the ground and drill into it!
“Bro Alex, don’t you guys have something to do? Hurry up and go!”
If they didn’t leave, he even wanted to kill himself.
Alex replied, “Don’t panic. As a grown up man, how can you turn green at the mention of kidney disorder? How about this, I have no way to cure your inborn kidney deficiency now. But, there is a way to help you solve your need of having a girlfriend.”
Dorothy’s eyes widened and seemed to say “Don’t tell me you are doing it for him, right?”
Alex said, “I will prescribe a prescription for you. You could prepare ahead. Whenever you feel that you want to use it, drink the prescription in advance. After drinking the medicine, it can maintain the effect for a day. This will ensure that you are fit and healthy, but also without any toxic side effects.”
Azure was immediately surprised and said, “Bro Alex, are you serious?”
“Why am I lying to you? Quick, get a pen and paper.”
After five minutes, Alex wrote down a prescription and put down the pen. “Take it, but remember, after drinking this medicine, you shall have no alcohol for twenty four hours.”
“Thank you, Bro Alex!”
***
At a women’s club, several women were doing a full body spa. All of them were young and fair skinned. They were chatting as they were doing it.
At that moment, one of them shrieked, “Ah..! Oh my God, who is this person? He and a dog are actually… Eww, this really disgusts me. How can there be such a disgusting man in this world?”
“Let me see. Let me see. Where did you see this?”
“On Triller!”
“I also browsed it… Oh, my. Ysabel, hurry and take a look. It’s your husband! What’s going on? How long has it been since you and your husband did it? Why is he in a hurry like this, and won’t even let the b*tch go.”
“What?”
One of the women enjoying the spa with her eyes closed was Benedict Maldini’s wife, Ysabel Yoder. She immediately jumped up after hearing it. She grabbed the phone and took a look Wasn’t the person her husband?
Moreover, the account that uploaded the video was her husband’s.
“I think he’s crazy!”
Ysabel was so angry that she almost fainted. She quickly stopped her spa and hurriedly went out.
A few little sisters, on the other hand, were whispering and laughing delicately.
Among the group of sisters, Ysabel’s status was the highest. Not only did she have a father who was a local officer in charge of commerce and industry in California, but she also had a husband with a net worth tens of billions of dollars. During gatherings in normal times, all of them looked up to Ysabel and followed her lead. She was usually domineering and arrogant. If she said one, others dared not say two. Privately, Ysabel was very unpopular among the sisters.
When Ysabel returned to the villa, Azure and the others had long since left but she found that her father, Jacob Yoder was actually inside.
As soon as she entered the villa, she fiercely smashed Benedict’s face with her expensive bag. “Maldini! Were you possessed by a ghost? How could you do something like this with a dog? Why don’t you go and die?”
Jacob was also very angry.
With such a scandal from his son-in-law, he was mocked in his unit too. It would even affect his image and future. If he couldn’t even manage his family well, how could he have any capability to manage the matters of the people in California?
“Benedict Maldini, you must give me an answer today!” Jacob said angrily.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1077
Benedict sat on the ground, with a face that wanted to die.
At this moment, his whole body was in pain and his mind was groggy. The pain, especially his bottom, was so numbing that he had almost no feeling. After all, the dog that he raised at home was a husky!
Of course, if it was only because of the pill he took beforehand, there would be no such effect.
The key was that one of the followers under Azure. At that time, he felt that Benedict’s physical state was not ideal enough, so he fed him with more drugs. It was unknown about his usual activities, he actually carried a large bottle of imported Spanish drugs with. He gave Benedict three pills directly.
Then, he was supercharged.
After the effect of the medicine, he felt as if he had shedded a layer of skin. The broken leg was also very painful.
“Dad, Ysabel, of course I wouldn’t do such a thing myself. I was coerced, I was framed. It was Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate, he fed me the drug… Oooooh, I’m in so much pain. Ysabel, hurry up and take me to the hospital, okay? I’m afraid of getting sick!”
Ysabel was very furious. “What hospital to go to? You still think you’re not embarrassed enough? What are you going to say when you’re at the hospital? Are you going to say that you were f*cked by a female husky? You have no dignity, but I still have mine! My father has his dignity too!”
Jacob’s face was gloomy.
His anger was stronger than his daughter.
Thinking about a few moments ago, when he was attending a certain tea party, there were a lot of colleagues next to him. Suddenly, it was unknown who swiped a video. At a glance, it was actually his son-in-law. The scene at that time was so awkward.
The key was, Johnny Summers, the mayor of California was also present at that time.
He saw it too.
He also said with concern, “Bro Jacob, the lives of Californians are of course always the first. But, the physical and mental health of the family members are also quite important. We are the people’s public servants and we need to set a good example. The spread of such a matter will destroy the image of public servants in the minds of the Californians. This is very bad, how about you hurry and go back to deal with it? You should send him to the hospital, it can’t be delayed!”
Then, Jacob left the tea party midway under the strange gaze of many colleagues. He even saw a few political enemies with teasing smiles.
“It’s actually Thousand Miles Conglomerate!”
Jacob’s mouth was crooked with anger. “Why did the people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate target you?”
“It’s because… My Trinity International recently signed a contract. But, I later found out that the other party was not qualified, so I proposed to cancel it. I did not expect the other party to know the people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate, so that’s why…”
He did not dare to say that he coveted Dorothy’s beauty. He was afraid of being harshly beaten up by the father and daughter of the Yoder family.
However, Jacob slapped him on the face right away. “B*stard, it’s already this time, yet you still have not told me the truth. Say, what exactly is going on?”
Ysabel said, “Dad, why are you hitting him? Didn’t he just say it already?”
Jacob coldly glared at his daughter. “Hmm, I think you’ve become dumb after doing beauty treatments all day long! Look at this table, there is red wine, candles, and roses. Can’t you see it? This must be related to women!”
“Ah…”
Ysabel was not very smart initially.
At this time, after being reminded by her father, she was immediately stunned. After a second, her anger was completely ignited. She kicked and punched Benedict hysterically.
Jacob said, “You couldn’t be snatching a woman from Thousand Miles’s Azure, right?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“You don’t want to talk about it? Alright! In that case, I cannot help you either. I, Jacob Yoder, can still distinguish between good and bad. I can’t tolerate those things that you’ve done anymore, then I will let the police intervene!”
When this statement was made, Benedict was shocked.
It was inseparable from his father-in-law’s help that his Trinity International could develop so fast and he could earn tens of billions of dollars at such a young age. At the same time, he was also backed by his father-in-law to take advantage of the market by force and trickery. If the police were to intervene in the investigation, he would at least have to be jailed for several decades.
Hence he had no choice but to explain everything in detail out of desperation.
Then, Benedict also mentioned that he had paid Dorothy-Alex Constructions the hundred times of the compensation for the breach of contract. A total of five hundred million dollars were knocked off by Azure.
“What? You flirted with another woman behind my back and got knocked off five hundred million dollars?” Ysabel shrieked.
Jacob slammed his hand on the table, “That’s outrageous! Under a clear sky and bright day, a small company like Dorothy-Alex Constructions dared to take so much money. I will let her spit out ten or a hundred times the amount!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1078
At the pedestrian street next to Willow Lake in California, Alex took Dorothy’s hand and slowly walked in the crowd.
Dorothy saw Alex was in a bad mood, so she asked, “What’s wrong with you? With such a troubled face, are you missing your superstar wife? I, the poor woman whose husband has been stolen, haven’t even sighed!”
Alex shook his head. “It’s not because of this, I remembered my dad!”
“Your dad… Have you found out any information lately?”
“Do you still remember that on the day we got married, my parents had a car accident and then, John Rockefeller jumped out to accuse my father of corruption and bribery, collusion with the Japanese, collaboration with the enemy and treason… At thattime, the person who came to sit on this unjust case and nail my father to the pillar of shame was Jacob Yoder!”
Dorothy was startled. “I remembered that officer. Indeed, his last name was Yoder.”
Alex then smiled to himself. “But, do you know? I recently found out some more information. My father was once the chief instructor of a certain special operation unit in America, called the Hidden Dragon.”
“Huh?”
Dorothy’s eyes were about to pop out. “A-are you sure what you found out is true?”
Alex nodded. “It’s true, I also found a captain of the Hidden Dragon whom I met back then. She admitted it herself.”
“That means that our dad would never collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country.”
“But Jacob Yoder just did that. I don’t care who instructed him in the end, I must, clear my dad’s name!” Alex’s gaze was deep as he looked at the crowd in front of him, “We knocked so much money out of his son-in-law and even posted that kind of video on the internet. Jacob Yoder must be furious and will strike against Dorothy-Alex Constructions.”
Dorothy said, “I’ll wait for him to do it.”
Alex nodded.
As the two walked, they suddenly bumped into someone.
“Dorothy, Rockefeller… Mr. Rockefeller? You guys, haven’t you guys been..?”
Unexpectedly, they could still bump into Sharpay on the pedestrian street at such a late night.
Sharpay was stunned to see the two holding hands, with their fingers interlocked, just like a couple. Weren’t they already divorced?
Could it be that they were back together?
“Sharpay, it’s you. Are you shopping with friends?” Alex said indifferently. Ever since his cultivation had reached Divine Transcendence, he was now quite anticipating that group of people lurking in the dark to jump out, so that it would save him from beating his brain to check everywhere.
However, ever since Dorothy’s divorce, not a single killer had come.
Even the ninjas of Gokudo Soshiki had not bothered to assassinate her.
It was really strange.
Therefore, his vigilance was gradually lowered and his relationship with Dorothy was not so secretive anymore. Instead, the biggest reason not to remarry was because of that lunatic, Claire Assex!
Sharpay slowly returned to normal after the shock. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
Alex said, “Then, you guys take your time to shop… By the way, tonight, just pretend that you have not seen us, can you?”
Sharpay nodded again. In the end, she asked reluctantly, “So, are you guys preparing to remarry?”
Dorothy said, “No, we are just ordinary friends.”
Sharpay pouted, ‘I don’ t believe you!’
At nine o’clock in the morning on the next day, a dozen official vehicles drove into Dorothy-Alex Constructions. They were people from the department of industry and commerce, fire brigade, health department, taxation department, and so on. The group of people rushed into the company gate, scaring the receptionists inside till their legs shook with fright.
And, the leader was surprisingly a woman, she was Ysabel Yoder!
She had a fierce glint in her eyes.
“Seal this place for me!”
“Where’s Dorothy Assex? Tell her to get the hell out!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1079
A huge fuss was made at Dorothy-Alex Constructions. At this time, it happened that Anderson Assex and Emma Assex belonging to Assex Constructions, were attending a certain work meeting over here at Dorothy-Alex Constructions. It was because since Dorothy took control of Assex Constructions and merged the two companies, Dorothy-Alex Constructions had become the leader. All the directors or the senior management had to come over here for meetings.
Ysabel came with all kinds of people from the major departments in California. They also immediately startled the attendees who were in the meeting. They ran out to check the situation and preside over the overall situation. As a result, they were all strumed after running out to take a look.
“Boy, with this lineup, I’m afraid that Dorothy-Alex Constructions will lose big time!” Shocked, Emma was wide eyed, but she was secretly happy. She was very unsatisfied with Dorothy.
Behind her back, she even cursed her, hoping that she would be hit by a car when she went outside, got severely ill without being able to get off the bed and died in a flash!
Now, when she saw that Dorothy was going to suffer a great misfortune, she almost laughed out loud.
At this time, Anderson whispered, “I know this woman. She seems to be the only daughter of the deputy mayor, Jacob Yoder. It’s strange, why did she and Dorothy cross paths? Moreover, she also brought so many people over to seal the business.”
Emma said, “Hmph, it must be this arrogant b*tch, Dorothy Assex. After forcibly snatching Assex Conglomerate from our hands, she must have forgotten her last name. Just look at her usual appearance, she thinks that she is the queen! She doesn’t even think about it. Whether it’s Assex Conglomerate or Dorothy-Alex Constructions, how could they possibly become hers if it weren’t for that b*stard Alex Rockefeller deceived us in the first place? She’s great. She divorced Alex after getting Assex Conglomerate, as if she was afraid of Alex stealing her fortune. Such a woman is destined to not end well.”
Anderson laughed. “Let her do it! Her divorce with Alex Rockefeller is good for us. That psychopath, Alex Rockefeller is too scary when he hits people. Dorothy alone would not be enough to be feared! Your eldest uncle is already secretly plotting to get back the power of the Assex Conglomerate. Now that she is jumping like this, it is a good thing. We will just watch the show.”
“Hmm!”
During the time that the two people were whispering, officers from various functional departments had been continuously issuing fines.
“Cleanliness failed. From now on, close the business and conduct rectification for a month!”
“Firefighting failed. Shut down the business for rectification until your company passes the inspection!”
“Someone reported that your company made false accounts, we want to check the accounts!”
These notices were written out, stamped on the spot and posted on the glass door. The industry and commerce department also took out the barricade tape and began to seal the door.
In addition, the people in uniform also began to drive away the staff of Dorothy-Alex Constructions, not allowing them to work normally.
At this time, a woman wearing an office suit ran out, she was Dorothy’s secretary, Christy.
She sternly shouted, “Are you sure you are not here to make a joke? You have not even entered the door, yet you already ruled that our company is unqualified for various aspects and issued all kinds of shutdown notices for rectification. Who gave you the right to do so? You have to be aware that you guys are wearing various uniforms, representing the functional departments. By doing these, aren’t you afraid of being dismissed?”
“Who are you?” Ysabel walked over and stared coldly at Christy.
“I am the secretary of Ms. Assex, Chris…”
Smack!
Before she could finish a sentence, Ysabel slapped Christy hard on the face.
The crisp sound of the slap caused many people in Dorothy-Alex Constructions to tremble.
“Who are you to come here and tell us what to do? I said that you have to shut down for rectification, then you have to shut down for rectification. What about it? Do you have an opinion?”
Ysabel’s unparalleled arrogance and domineering aura forced Christy to retreat backwards consecutively.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. “I have an opinion!”
The voice came from the elevator.
The crowd looked over there. It was the CEO, Dorothy Assex. Wearing a decent white professional outfit, she walked with long and slender legs and came out from the elevator entrance.
She was followed by a young man behind.
The youth was relaxed. He was still holding a box of yogurt in his hand and drinking it with a straw in a purr. From the sound that came out, it could be concluded that the yogurt had reached the bottom but he was still sucking it hard, as if he could not afford to waste it.
The whole image completely destroyed the aura of Dorothy’s appearance.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1080
He was none other than Alex Rockefeller.
“Huh? Why is the rubbish Rockefeller here? Didn’t he already get divorced?” Emma whispered softly in surprise with shocked expression.
Anderson was also taken aback and subconsciously shrank his neck. He was scared of Alex’s beating.
Although Emma‘s voice was soft, Alex heard every word in his ears. He turned his head towards her and took a glance at her.
This glance that carried an overpowering might instantly shook Emma, as if she had fallen into the ice cellar. A chill rushed from the soles of her feet straight to her brain.
“Are you Dorothy Assex?”
Ysabel looked at Dorothy, who walked in front of her, with a hostile face.
As the two stood together, the difference was obvious in that instant.
Not only was Dorothy half a head taller than her, but she even far surpassed her regardless of the facial features, figure and temperament, causing her to look like an ugly duckling by standing at the side. This made Ysabel filled with uncontrollable envy, jealousy and hatred inside her heart.
No matter how much cosmetics she used or how many spas she did, she could not be compared with Dorothy’s natural beauty.
It was no wonder that her husband, Benedict Maldini lusted after her.
Dorothy said, “That’s right, I am Dorothy Assex. Who are you? Show your credentials and let me see whether you are qualified to dictate me here.”
Ysabel was furious by Dorothy’s words.
She tilted her chin up and said, “My last name is Yoder, that’s my qualification! To a poorly born woman like you, I am an existence that you can’t afford to mess with, let alone to offend! Hmph, aren’t you just relying on your beauty, selling it among the men and relying on their charity, to sit in this CEO position? In the end, you are just a toy for men! How dare a b*tch like you blackmail my husband? Where did you get the courage to do so?”
Ysabel’s words were unpleasant to hear and vicious.
Many people at the scene looked at Dorothy with eyes that were full of contempt as well as ill intentioned fantasies.
Particularly, Emma and her father were about to burst into laughter in their hearts.
Smack!
At this moment, a big slap fiercely smacked on Ysabel’s face.
The crowd was shocked. It was Dorothy herself who took the action.
With this slap, she spun around in a circle in place and opened her mouth to spit out three teeth. She held the three large teeth in her hand, with her face flushed and swollen. She hideously shouted, “You man seducing b*tch, how dare you hit me?”
Dorothy raised her hand and smacked again.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
It was another four slaps with forehead and backhand. “Your parents did not teach you how to behave, I shall teach you!”
This time, Ysabel’s nose was broken. Blood flowed from her nose. She looked incomparably wretched.
She was stunned by the blows.
Emma rushed up at this time and shouted, “Dorothy Assex, are you crazy? She is Jacob Yoder’s daughter. How dare you even hit her? Aren’t you afraid of dragging down the company? Don’t bring the trouble that you caused by hooking up with men outside to the company, okay? How can you be qualified to be the CEO of the company if you are like this?”
Smack!
As soon her voice fell, a harsh slap from Dorothy heavily landed on Emma’s face, sending her entire body flying.
“Emma Assex, letting you stay in the company is my kindness towards you. You better don’t have any misunderstandings. Whether it’s Assex Conglomerate or Dorothy-Alex Constructions, all of them are under the absolute control of me, Dorothy Assex. Even if I shut down the company and burn it down with fire, it’ll not be your turn to give comments and opinions.”
