Ch. 1081..1090
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1081
Emma Assex lay on the ground. Her face ached painfully, and she was scared witless. She felt extremely strange about Dorothy with such incomparable dominion. How could she still be the same Dorothy Assex who had trembled in front of the family and didn’t even dare to talk back to Madame Joanne before?
She completely changed into another extreme level.
On her body, she could see the shadow of Alex.
Anderson ran forward to support his daughter and helped her get up. His mouth opened as he tried to say something. However, when his eyes met with Dorothy’s ice-cold gaze, he was stunned and didn’t dare to say a word. He hurriedly took his daughter to leave this forsaken place.
Alex also felt a little uncomfortable. He had never seen Dorothy like this before.
However, it was a good thing for her that she had become stronger, exuding a queen like charm.
At the same time, Ysabel Yoder stood up. She had long past the stage of anger, and was almost out of her mind.
An extremely ferocious look was on her face, and the gaze she leveled at Dorothy was like a poisonous snake hiding in a cave, waiting for an opportunity to strike. “Assex, you will surely regret this!”
Then, she turned to look at the group of people that she had brought and angrily shouted, “Are all of you just for display purposes? Didn’t you see this b*tch hitting me? What’s the purpose of raising lap dogs like you? Move your *ss and grab this b*tch! How dare she hit me? I’m going to make sure she dies of old age in prison, and there will be no peace for her in that place either!”
The few people from the functional departments were naturally unhappy when they heard this. However, because her father was Jacob Yoder, they could only endure and tolerate her behavior. Of course, many people, who wanted to bootlick the Yoder family, eagerly jumped forward to take Dorothy down.
“Let’s go together, and catch this violent woman to the police station!”
Swoosh!
At least a dozen people in uniform surrounded Dorothy.
Alex, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally stood up and said lightly, “The matter today here has nothing to do with you guys. We’re only looking for the daughter and the father of the Yoder family. I’ll give you one minute to return to wherever you came from. Otherwise, you’ll be the unlucky ones.”
Ysabel turned up her nose and chided, “F*cker, who are you? Did I allow you to speak?”
“You talk so much bullsh*t. Kneel down and slap yourself! ”
As soon as Alex said that, his mental power fluctuated slightly.
For an ordinary woman like Ysabel, how could she be able to resist Alex’s mental powers that had reached Divine Transcendence now?
As soon as his voice fell, she knelt on the ground with a thud, raising her hands and slapping herself without any reservations.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
In a blink of an eye, she had slapped herself ten times before coming to a stop.
All of the onlookers were stunned.
They couldn’t understand it no matter what. Why did the arrogant woman, who threatened to make Dorothy regret her actions earlier, would obediently kneel down on the floor and slap herself silly just at a word from Alex?
A leader from the department of industry and commerce shouted, “W-what did you do to Miss Yoder?!”
The person was Jacob’s direct subordinate. It was his relationship with Jacob that allowed him to sit in his current position. Usually, he was eager to be his lap dog. Now, when Ysabel had encountered such a situation, he certainly had to stand up for her and defend her. He quickly came forward to help Ysabel up.
When Ysabel was slapping herself earlier, her mind was actually awake and clear. However, that was the most horrifying part.
She obviously did not want to kneel down. She obviously knew that she should not slap herself. However, she did it accordingly without having control of her body, as though a ghost had possessed her.
This feeling sent chills down her spine.
“There’s still ten seconds!” Alex said with an indifferent look on his face.
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
“Seven!”
The middle-aged man who was holding up Ysabel was also from the department of industry and commerce. He usually sat in a high position where his words had enormous weight. How could he have ever faced this sort of harsh treatment like Alex’s?
He immediately roared in anger, “All of you, go! Take down this arrogant thug!”
The couple dozen people looked at each other before rushing forward.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1082
“Hmph!” Alex snorted coldly. “I gave you a chance!”
He ferociously threw out a punch at the dozen uniformed men charging towards him.
Whoosh!
An overwhelming force swept away the charging men. In the next second, the dozen uniformed men were sent flying.
“Ahhh!”
“What is going on?!”
“He sent a dozen men flying with just a single punch. Could it be that Bro Alex is a martial expert?!”
Many people in Dorothy-Alex Constructions who knew Alex were all stunned. This kind of scene that could only be seen in martial arts series actually happened right in front of their eyes!
That lap dog from the Yoder family dropped his glasses in shock and was dumbfounded with his mouth agape. However, he turned into an ass in a lion’s skin. “You dared to openly attack people from the official workplace, you’re done for. America is a society that is ruled by the laws. Do you think that you could do whatever you want, just because you have a bit of martial arts skills?”
Alex walked forward and lashed out with a kick.
The entire place was as quiet as a cicada in winter, with a dead silence.
In the eyes of many people, Alex was digging his own grave by testing the limit of the laws.
It was already wrong to beat someone up. Once the police were called, there was a high probability that he would go to prison. Moreover, he had beaten up an official. How would the person let him off the hook?
Some of the senior executives of Dorothy-Alex constructions shook their heads secretly and couldn’t help but think, ‘Alex Rockefeller seems to be helping Dorothy Assex but he doesn’t know that he’s hurting her instead. When the official investigation comes, Dorothy Assex wouldn’t be able to get rid of the connection.’
Soon, someone approached Dorothy quietly and said with a panicked expression, “Ms. Assex, hurry and stop him. If this goes on, we’ll be in deep trouble.”
Dorothy was indifferent as she asked, “What kind of big trouble could happen?”
The person said, “These people are all officials. If just any of them gets in the way of our company by underhanded means, we’d suffer some serious setbacks. There’s a saying that citizens shouldn’t fight with the officials because they won’t be able to win against them. When the time comes, Dorothy-Alex Constructions could only close down for real.”
To his surprise, Dorothy replied, “It doesn’t matter. It just so happens that I’m a little tired of this company. It would be best if it gets shut down anyway.”
The person suddenly had a look of having constipation. ‘Ms. Assex, are you for real?!’
As for Alex, he directly beckoned Ysabel over and grabbed her by her hair.
“Are you Jacob Yoder’s daughter?”
“That’s right! Let me go, you bast*rd! Who the hell are you, and what do you want?!”
“Who am I? Looks like your husband didn’t tell you properly!” Alex suddenly smiled. “I’m the one who came up with the idea yesterday to have your husband and that b*tch play the game.”
“Huh? Bast*rd, so it’s you!”
“You should thank me. Your husband was the one who ate that kind of medicine himself. If it weren’t for my suggestion, he would have been laying in the hospital, unable to get up right now! Enough, I don’t have any interest in dilly-dallying by talking nonsense to you here. You’re not worth my effort and time. Call your father and get him to pick these people up.”
When the people around heard him, they couldn’t help but wailed in their hearts.
Who on earth was this person?
He actually asked Jacob to personally come and pick up his people. Was he really not afraid of death?
“Fine, let’s see how long you will be arrogant for!”
Ysabel immediately gave her father a call. “Daddy, I was beaten up by somebody, even my teeth have been knocked out. I’m about to be beaten to death!… That’s right, it’s that Assex b*tch from Dorothy-Alex Constructions, and her…”
As a result, before she could finish her words, she was given a slap once again.
This time, it was Alex’s hand.
He smoothly grabbed her phone and said, “Jacob Yoder, right? It just so happens thatl have something to settle with you. So, hurry up and get your *ss here.”
Jacob clearly heard the sound of his daughter getting slapped. He gritted posterior molars as his anger reached its peak. He immediately called someone in the police force. “Captain Selby, Dorothy-Alex Constructions is using violence to resist the law and has assaulted law enforcement officers. They have also beaten up my daughter and kidnapped her. What do you say I should do?”
“What? Is there such a thing Alright, I’ll bring a team and head there immediately!”
A storm was coming!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1083
At this moment, everyone was shocked with their hearts beating wildly, regardless of the company’s employees or the official personnel’s brought by Ysabel. They were unable to comprehend what was happening. They couldn’t understand how on earth would Alex dare to act in such an unscrupulous manner like this?
As for Dorothy, could it be that she really wanted to walk down the dark path with Alex, ignoring the entire Dorothy-Alex Constructions and Assex Conglomerate?
However, no matter how they thought about it, it was a dead end!
Alex didn’t care about others’ thoughts. Instead, he looked at Dorothy behind him and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, no one will be able to touch your Dorothy-Alex Constructions.”
Dorothy’s lips curled. “Where do you see that I’m worried? It’s better if the company closes down, then I don’t have to work so hard. Since you have so much money, can’t you just support my living?”
“You’ve changed.”
“How so?”
“You’ve become lazy.”
“This is called learning to be smart. Otherwise, you’ll take your money to support other women. Doesn’t that mean that I’m a fool?”
The two stood closely to each other while whispering into each other’s ears.
Seeing this relaxed scene, Ysabel got even angrier, as if she were just a small, transparent roadside display. However, she was the dignified daughter of the deputy mayor with a lofty status. She thought that she was a person favored by fortune, while Alex and the others were just grass on the ground. These few rabbles actually dared to ignore her and even beat her.
‘Damn it! You wretched couple, just wait for your death!’
Wee-woo! Wee-woo!
A rush of police sirens roared from a distance. Listening to the sound of the sirens, at least seven to eight police cars came over.
When Ysabel heard the sound, she immediately gained back her confidence. She laughed loudly right away as she looked at Alex sideways. She said in a cold, vicious voice, “Do you hear that? That’s the sound of the police sirens. It’s also the death knell for a bast*rd like you. You dare to hit me, Ysabel Yoder, then you must be prepared to die.”
The corner of Alex’s lip quirked up. “Are you so sure that the police can save you?”
Ysabel angrily said, “Why can’t they? Do you even dare to confront the police? Fine, when the police arrive later, if you can still stand there unscathed after everything, I, Ysabel Yoder, will take my own head for you to use as a urinal!”
Alex said, “You are hardcore indeed! But, in order to verify your words, I’ll show you something even better. Let’s see who can save you in the end.”
Having said that, he grabbed her right away and scurried toward the stairs.
“Ahh!”
“What the heck are you doing?
“Let me go, you bast*rd!”
The building of Dorothy-Alex Construction was seven stories high in total.
Alex directly brought Ysabel to the top floor. It happened that there was an iron hook hanging out on the roof. Alex tore Ysabel’s clothes and rounded up her hands with it right away. Then, he hung her on the said hook.
Right now, Ysabel was hanging outside the eighth floor, with both her legs suspended in the air.
“Ahhhhh…!”
The girl was going out of her mind. She had lived such a long life but she had never experienced such a horrifying thing before. Deep down, she cursed up a storm, cursing Alex all the way into his future generation. However, none of those curses could come out of her lips. She lowered her head to look at the ground under her feet. There were a row of iron rods erected just below. If she were to fall from this height, she would definitely be skewered!
This man was a complete lunatic!
“Help! Help me!”
“Hey you! Put me down! If I die, you’ll also be sentenced to death!”
“Please, please let me go, let me go. I… I was wrong, I won’t do it ever again…”
Ysabel’s body swayed outside the eight floor when the wind blew, and the iron hook that she was hung on didn’t look very strong either. Ysabel was instantly frightened out of her wits. How could she still be reluctant to admit her mistake at this point? Her bottom half became warm all of a sudden, and a trail of urine leaked out.
It trailed down and dripped to the ground below.
“Isn’t it a bit too late to be begging for mercy now?
“The scenery here is great, you should stay a little longer. You should pray that your clothes are strong enough!”
Alex smiled, then patted Ysabel’s bareback. As a result, her body swayed even more violently in the air. She was so frightened that she started screaming and bawling loudly.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1084
When everyone downstairs saw this scene, they were completely dumbfounded. They simply couldn’t believe their eyes.
Was this Alex Rockefeller a demon?
And not far away from there, Anderson and Emma also watched the same scene. How could the father and daughter miss such a big show?
They just hid themselves to see how unlucky Alex and Dorothy would be in time. However, when they saw such a scene, they couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“This trashy Rockefeller, he’s really a lunatic. Doing such a deranged thing in front of so many people, he’s just provoking the government!” Anderson said.
Emma rubbed her aching face and sneered, “There’s the saying ‘Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason’. If he doesn’t dig his own grave, how else will he die?”
“I already thought that he was a madman before, but I didn’t expect him to become even madder now!” Anderson said.
Just as he said that, he suddenly saw Alex jump from the rooftop on the eighth floor.
“What?!” He yelled and hurriedly rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
However, Emma next to him had her eyes widened as well. “Dad, did I see it wrong? That lunatic actually jumped off the building?”
“You saw it too? Quick, we need to hurry and see if he’s dead.”
Alex was obviously not dead. He was just too lazy to take the stairs, and that was the reason that he jumped down. It wouldn’t have been a problem for him to jump down directly at first. However, Alex took a few grabs on the platform of the building while he jumped down, in order not to be too shocking.
In this way, the others would just think that he was more courageous and had better skills. These sorts of actions could easily be done by many kings of the war and the like, after all.
Just as he reached the first floor, the police had arrived. It wasn’t only seven or eight, but a total of ten police cars had come. The one who led the team was the captain of California’s Brigade for Special Operations, Craig Selby.
It was because Jacob Yoder on the phone said that it was particularly serious. Not only had Dorothy-Alex Construction resisted the law by resorting to violence and wounded dozens of people from the various law enforcement agencies in California, but they had also kidnapped them, with the number exceeding fifty people.
Wasn’t that a serious thing?
This was a super big case!
Craig naturally deemed this case to be of high importance. He brought almost all the elites in his team. Moreover, they were all armed to the teeth.
Whoosh!
Dozens of the special brigade with live ammunition got out of the car. The onlookers at the entrance of Dorothy-Alex Constructions suddenly scattered and avoided them.
Very soon, only Alex and Dorothy were left at the entrance, and they were completely surrounded by the special brigade.
On the other hand, those who had retreated to the distance watched them: some sighed; some pitied them; some sympathized with them. Some also gloated at their misfortune, especially the officials who had come with Ysabel Yoder. All of them wished dearly that the couple would be shot to death on the spot. That would be the best result to happen.
“Help! Help me!”
Ysabel’s voice came from above the eighth floor.
When Craig looked up, he was shocked.
At this time, Jacob finally arrived. When he saw his daughter on the eighth floor, he shouted immediately, “Ysabel, Ysabel?! Huh?! Who was it?! Who hung my daughter at that kind of place? This is a murder attempt! It’s a murder attempt! Craig Selby, I’m ordering you to arrest the culprit immediately and rescue my daughter! If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!”
Craig nodded with a solemn expression on his face. Shortly afterwards, he turned to look at Alex and Dorothy.
When he took a closer look, he was stunned!
In the next instant, he quickly trotted over and gave Alex a salute with an excited expression on his face. “Hello, Chief Rockefeller. I, Craig Selby from California’s Special Brigade, am reporting to you!”
In that instant, countless people were stunned.
Jacob’s pupils constricted even more. When he looked at Alex, he suddenly recalled who he was!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1085
“What?!”
“What’s going on?! The captain of the Special Brigade actually shows so much respect for Alex Rockefeller, and even called him ‘chief’?! What kind of chief was Alex Rockefeller?!”
“I don’t know! Could it be that he’s also a member of the Special Brigade now? The way he jumped down from the eighth floor just now really makes it seem like he had the essence of the king of war, but… Why does it feel so mysterious?”
Many people from Dorothy-Alex Construction knew Alex.
Not long ago, before Alex and Dorothy had gotten divorce, her younger sister, Beatrice, had personally brought Felix Shephard from Pegasus International to publicly propose to Dorothy. Who didn’t know about Alex’s great name, with all those rumors floating around the company?
And, the most surprised person among them was Dorothy’s secretary, Christy.
Christy knew more about Alex than the others. Looking at him right now, she only had a feeling that he had changed and should be judged anew after even a short absence!
***
However, Alex was slightly startled when he looked at Craig Selby, who stood in front of him. “You know me?”
“That day at Maple Villa…” Craig said.
When he said this, he abruptly woke up. He remembered that certain things must be kept secret from the public, so he immediately clamped up. Then, he leaned closer to Alex’s ears and whispered a few words.
Only then did Alex realize that a few days ago, the Johansson family, one of the four great families in California, had sent out five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors to rush to Maple Villa in a grandiose manner. In the end, Alex had killed thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists with a swing of his sword. Later, Sky Melvis and Zachary Xavier from Divine Constabulary appeared…
Then, dozens of armed vehicles had also come to take away the Golden Dragon Warriors. At that time, Craig was among the men who had appeared.
After understanding Craig’s background, Alex could no longer carry out the intention of forcefully suppressing everyone here using his overwhelming advantage.
However, his original purpose here was only Jacob Yoder.
At this moment, the hanging Ysabel on the eighth floor didn’t see the exchange between Alex and Craig. Her eyes were closed as she immersed in her own horrifying world. She didn’t dare to look down at all. She waited for a long time but didn’t hear anyone coming to save her, so she immediately started yelling, “Dad, Daddy! Hurry up and save me! I don’t want to die!”
“Hurry up and catch that wretched couple! I want them to sit in prison, I want them to die without a trace!” Jacob Yoder’s expression darkened.
Though he recognized Alex’s identity, that didn’t mean that he was afraid at all. It was true that a year ago, he had set William Rockefeller up for treason and colluding with the enemy, but so what? He really had gotten his hands on the evidence, regardless of the fact that the evidence was forged.
However, the blame of this matter couldn’t be traced to him.
He walked up with a cold face and said to Craig, “Captain Selby, what is the meaning of this? There are so many people watching at the scene. Everyone has seen how this fellow deliberately hurt so many people and even put my daughter in such a dangerous situation. Why aren’t you all making a move yet? Are you waiting for my daughter to fall from the eighth floor? Who will be responsible if my daughter dies?”
However, Craig looked at Alex, as though he was waiting for his instructions.
This small action made Jacob’s eyebrows twitched wildly. He still didn’t understand it. What in the world was Alex’s identity?
Could it be that his identity was even greater than his position as the deputy mayor?
It was because Jacob had been involved personally in the matter, so he had paid close attention to Alex in secret for a period of time. He later found out that this man was just a good-for-nothing. After the accident of his parents, he had been in a wretched condition and he only managed to make ends meet by relying on his wife. He didn’t make any contribution, and he didn’t have any doubts about the accident either. Later, Jacob stopped paying attention to him.
Never did he expect that such a strange scene would unfold in front of him right now.
“Take them down!” Alex said indifferently as he looked at Jacob.
Craig made his move in the next moment.
Jacob was just an ordinary person and he wasn’t very young. He would usually be out of breath just by walking up the stairs. So, how could he avoid Craig’s capture? In almost a second’s time, Craig had both of Jacob’s arms behind him and pressed up against his back.
“Craig Selby, are you rebelling?!”
“Do you know what you’re doing?”
“Do you not want your job anymore?!””
This temporary defection made some people who were watching completely bewildered.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1086
At the present scene, only Lady Dorothy Assex’s eyes were calm and unruffled. It was as if she had expected this ending long ago.
Alex Rockefeller took two steps forward. “Jacob, do you still recognize me? A year ago, you came to my wedding. You made a lasting impression on me,” Alex said.
Jacob Yoder bent his body, and he had a convoluted expression on his face.
He didn’t answer Alex’s question. Instead, he turned to Craig Selby. “Who exactly is he? Why would you help him despite the huge risk to your job? You ought to think carefully about your future,” Jacob said.
Craig shook his head. “Mr. Rockefeller’s identity is top secret,” he said.
Alex chuckled. “Jacob, who exactly is trying to rebel here? Your daughter, who has no official position in the organization, was actually able to command the five major departments, including commerce, health, firefighting, and taxation. In fact, the organization was shut down for rectification without proper inspection. I wonder who gave her such powers?” Alex asked.
Jacob was astonished.
Of course he was the one who instructed the five departments to seize Dorothy-Alex Constructions, but he didn’t allow his daughter to take over command. She was supposed to simply come and observe what happened.
In that case, Alex really did have something to use against Jacob.
‘This dumb woman,’ Jacob thought.
However…
“I don’t care what you say. You injured staff members and my daughter. You even hung my daughter on the eighth floor in that kind of place. This makes you a criminal with the intent of committing murder. Regardless of what your status is, you will not be pardoned! Hurry up and release my daughter!” Jacob yelled.
“Never mind hanging her up there. Even if I kill her right there and then, I wouldn’t have to be responsible for it. Would you believe that?” Alex replied nonchalantly.
“You…” For his daughter’s safety, Jacob had no choice but to give in.
Alex glanced at Jacob before turning to Craig. “Go and release that woman!”
As soon as Alex said this, someone from the brigade ran upstairs.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I’ll arrest all these people and have a strict interrogation with them. I’ll find out precisely who abused their powers, who pretended to serve the public but was actually serving themselves, and who went against the rules. I promise that nobody will be able to bend the law to their own will,” Craig said.
Alex waved his hand. “I want to hold a joint trial here!” he exclaimed.
“Huh..?” Craig was stunned.
Joint trials were usually held in the courtroom. He had never heard of one being held at the crime scene. However, back in ancient times, the precedence of situations like this allowed for the convenience of resolving cases and informing the public.
In reality, Alex was doing this to restore his father’s dignity.
William Rockefeller had carried the shame of betraying the country for a year. It was time to clear his name!
***
Soon, the security guards from Dorothy-Alex Constructions brought in tables and chairs.
The current batch of security guards all recognized Alex. Now, after witnessing his power and the terror behind it, each one of them was surprised and overjoyed. The way they addressed him as “brother Rockefeller” seemed even more enthusiastic.
In fact, they even set up the entire place the mimic the way trials were held during ancient times.
Meanwhile, Ysabel Yoder, who had just been rescued by the brigade members, was still confused about her current situation. She thought she’d have nothing to worry about with the brigade members around. Hence, she rushed over and reached out to slap Alex.
In the end…
Wham!
When Craig saw what she wanted to do, he landed a forceful slap on her face.
Ysabel was shocked. “You… Why did you hit me? Don’t you know who I am?”
Everyone was speechless.
This woman really didn’t know what was going on.“Are you trying to assassinate Mr. Rockefeller? Kneel!” Craig yelled coldly.
Two team members immediately came over to force Ysabel down on her knees. Ysabel struggled as best she could while cursing loudly. After that, she saw that her father had also been forced to kneel next to her. In that instant, she couldn’t find it in herself to speak She was completely dumbfounded!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1087
Jacob Yoder and his daughter were forced to kneel on the ground.
Meanwhile, the officials ordered by Jacob to give Dorothy-Alex Constructions a hard time, all seemed bereaved as if they had lost their parents.
The incident today was a failed operation that ended up hurting themselves. In the end, not only were their jobs at risk but they might even be punished.
“Let the trial begin! ” shouted a security guard from Dorothy-Alex Constructions in joy.
While this led to a burst of laughter from the crowd, many people had also taken out their phones to record the amazing scene.
Alex sat on a director’s chair while he looked at Jacob. “I only have one question for you. I hope you answer it truthfully.”
Jacob had a sullen expression on his face, and he didn’t say a word.
Alex wasn’t afraid that Jacob wouldn’t speak. “A year ago, on the day of my wedding with Lady Dorothy Assex, my father, William Rockefeller, got into a car accident and died…”
As soon as Alex started speaking, the scene immediately quieted down.
Quite a few people in the company had heard about what happened on Alex’s wedding day. However, they knew only a little about it, but nothing in detail. Meanwhile, even more people had heard about William Rockefeller betraying the country by selling its scientific research information to Japan.
Hence, in the eyes of many, William was a huge traitor. At this moment, while Alex spoke about this incident, everyone listened carefully.
“Back then, it was John Rockefeller who had come forward to identify my father as a traitor to the nation. Meanwhile, you cooperated with John and claimed to have detailed evidence of my father’s collaboration with the enemy and how he betrayed the country. Now, in front of so many people, I’m asking you once more. Is the detailed evidence you mentioned true?” Alex asked.
Jacob sneered. “Of course, it’s true. Your father is a traitor to this country.”
Alex’s spiritual pressure instantly elevated. It fell upon Jacob like a mountain.
In an instant, Jacob found it hard to breathe. It was as if an object weighing tens of thousands of pounds was pressing against his body. Meanwhile, a great sense of fear emerged from the depths of his heart.
“Think carefully before you speak!” Alex growled coldly.
“I…”
Jacob wanted to continue cursing Alex’s father for being a traitor, but the words wouldn’t come out. The sense of fear in his heart grew stronger over time, and soon, he could barely even kneel anymore. There was a force in his body that compelled him to speak the truth.
“The evidence… Isn’t real. It’s forged.”
This statement stunned Ysabel Yoder.
Craig Selby’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took note of it Meanwhile, people from Dorothy-Alex Constructions, who stood in three circles around Alex and the others, all had their eyes wide open. They held their breaths in fear of missing out on a single word.
“Who forged the evidence?” Alex asked.
“I… I can’t tell you…” Jacob was still struggling internally.
“Speak!” Alex roared angrily.
Alex’s mental power was like tsunami waves that crashed onto Jacob’s willpower.
In the next moment, Jacob lost control over his mind and began to spill the beans. “It’s your father’s secretary, Pepper Kimmich. She forged it! That’s because she’s a Japanese ninja who lurked around William as a spy.”
“Huh..?” Lady Dorothy Assex’s secretary, Christy, gasped in surprise.
“What else? How did you and John band together?” Alex asked.
Jacob couldn’t stop speaking. “John was the mastermind behind the scene. He gave me 30 million, a villa, and two women. I happened to need money at the time. How could I resist such a huge temptation? Besides, William was already dead, and Madame Brittany was in a coma. There was no evidence against me. I had no reason to hesitate!”
Jacob had spoken everything on his mind.
“In that case, did William betray the country by selling its intellectual property to the Japanese in secret?” Alex finally asked.
“No. The person who sold the country’s intellectual property to Japan was John!” Jacob answered.
Alex closed his eyes. He felt a little disappointed on the inside.
At first, he thought Jacob might have told him something different. For example, Jacob might’ve mentioned the mysterious force that conflicted against Alex’s father. Instead, he only mentioned John Rockefeller and Pepper Kimmich. This wasn’t anything new.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1088
One was dead, and the other had entered a comatose state.
However, the information wasn’t completely useless. At the very least, it had overturned the case against William Rockefeller. It cleared his name and removed his charges of betraying the country by collaborating with its enemy.
Alex Rockefeller opened his eyes again. By then, there were no emotions in them. He couldn’t even be bothered to look at the duo from the Yoder family. “Take them away. Check on the things he said and issue a notice after you’ve verified the facts!” Alex waved at Craig Selby and said.
Craig nodded. “No problem!”
***
Jacob Yoder and his daughter were taken away.
The officials from the five departments were also all taken back to brigade. A fair trial awaited them.
Alex didn’t intend to interfere with this.
He and Lady Dorothy Assex left the office and arrived at the crowded Metropolis Square. Lady Dorothy said she hadn’t watched a movie for a long time, and that she felt like watching one now.
That’s why the two came here.
In fact, Alex knew that she had specifically come to keep him company.
“You should be happy that your father’s name has been cleared, and rid yourself of the shame of being a traitor’s son! Why do you still seem so gloomy? Show me your smile! ” Lady Dorothy said.
Alex faked a smile.
“How ugly!” Lady Dorothy exclaimed.
Alex laughed at himself. “But I guess he doesn’t care about his reputation at all! You know, sometimes I wonder how important my mother and I are to him. Compared to another woman, my mother seems to know nothing about him.”
“Another woman?” Lady Dorothy turned around in surprise. “What do you mean? Are you saying your father has other women out there?”
Alex didn’t want to say this at first, but he’d feel bad if he didn’t spill the beans now. “I only found out about it a while ago,” he said with a nod.
Lady Dorothy pouted. “Like father, like son!” She exclaimed.
After a moment, Lady Dorothy felt curious again. “Who is it?”
“You wouldn’t know if I told you,” Alex said.
“I just want to know. You’ve made me curious,” Lady Dorothy said.
“And you’ve aroused my sexual desire!” replied Alex.
“Let’s make an exchange!” said Lady Dorothy.
“Really? Let’s not watch a movie then. Come to my place. I’ve reacquired Rockefeller Manor.”
The two turned back and went to Rockefeller Manor. Under broad daylight, they made an exchange according to each other’s terms.

In the meantime, at around half past eleven in the morning, California’s Brigade for Special Operations published a notice on their official Instagram account in white font against a blue background. It announced that William Rockefeller, Rockefeller Group’s founder, had been proved innocent a year ago. Apparently, John Rockefeller wanted to take over Rockefeller Group that William and Madame Brittany Rockefeller had worked to establish. Working together with a Japanese woman, Pepper Kimmich, as well as bribing a Californian official, Jacob Yoder, with several tens of millions, John forged evidence of William betraying the country and slandered him…
As soon as the news came out, the internet was in an uproar.
In particular, someone from the brigade visited John, who at that time, had already moved out of Rockefeller Manor. After finding out that John had entered a state of coma, the person still installed an electronic device on him to limit his range of mobility.
Olivia Banks, who was John’s lawfully wedded wife, was also taken back to the brigade for questioning.
In a villa somewhere in California, the place where Noah Rockefeller and Mariah Hamilton currently lived Paige Rockefeller had suddenly rushed over.
“Second brother, second sister-in-law, something major happened! The incident of third brother framing William has been exposed. Now, third sister-in-law has been taken away by people from the brigade. We still don’t know if she’ll be released. We might not be able to keep Rockefeller Group!”
When Noah and his wife heard this, their rice bowls dropped to the ground with a clang.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1089
Paige Rockefeller must have found out a lot about what happened before she came over.
Now, she shared everything with the couple…
“I heard Jacob’s daughter brought five law enforcement agencies over to Alex’s ex-wife’s company to shut them down. In the end, Alex was also there. He directly attacked the people from the five law enforcement agencies, and he even hung Jacob’s daughter outside the balcony on the eighth floor. She was dangling in the air just like that!”
“However, when the people from the brigade arrived, they didn’t rescue her right away. In fact, they listened to whatever Alex said.”
“The brigade’s team leader even addressed Alex as chief. Say, what changes do you think Alex has gone through? How did he become the brigade’s chief?” Paige asked.
Noah Rockefeller sighed after hearing all this. “Back then, when our eldest brother passed away, we shouldn’t have let John take over Rockefeller Group! We did this to ourselves. Otherwise, why would the Rockefeller family end up like this?”
“What does it have to do with us? Taking over Rockefeller Group was all the doing of your father and John behind closed doors. We were all kept in the dark. Even things like William not being your father’s biological son were only revealed to us much later. If anyone has to take the blame, it should be your father for being too greedy. He wouldn’t even show a tiny bit of mercy. Back when Alex came begging for help, we should have given him the million he asked for. He wouldn’t have been this harsh on us then,” Mariah Hamilton said.
“Second sister-in-law, what’s the use of criticizing my father now? He’s already dead. You should watch your manners!”
Mariah became angry. “Why should I? Was I wrong for saying that? Even someone who looks after a dog would have some feelings for it. If your father had been a little more merciful, Alex and Madame Brittany wouldn’t hate us this much. Great, now, you’ve lost nothing, but my older daughter is suffering out there while my younger sister has become disabled. Who should I seek help from? The way I see it, those two will not stop until every single one of us in the Rockefeller family is dead,” Mariah said.
A thought suddenly occurred to Paige. She had thought about her son.
Now, every Rockefeller child had to endure something terrible. Paige didn’t want her son to be affected too.
“In that case, should we return Rockefeller Group to Madame Brittany Rockefeller?” Paige asked.
After all, they had earned enough throughout the year and wouldn’t be able to spend all that money in this lifetime.
“It’s pointless. Madame Brittany wouldn’t want it. Don’t you all know what kind of person she is? She’s a woman of her words, and she never compromises! You might not know this, but all our dealers under Rockefeller Group are coming to us to cancel their contracts. Even if they don’t, our sales are declining rapidly. It won’t be long before we go bankrupt,” Noah said.
“What? How can this happen?” Paige asked.
“Haven’t you seen the news? Lush Cosmetics’ acne removal product was specifically made as an enhanced version of Bounty Acne Cream. Their objective is to go for our weak spot. Within a short amount of time, Lush Cosmetics took over the high-end market. Another one of our main products, Youth Cream, also can’t compare to their Beauty Cream. On top of that, Lush Cosmetics has recently acquired distribution channels to the low-end market. In fact, they set the condition for parties that wish to distribute their products so they wouldn’t be allowed to distribute other similar products. They’re cutting off all our income streams!” Noah said.
Both women froze at the same time.
Mariah had always overseen the family’s internal affairs. Paige, on the other hand, only knew how to take money from Rockefeller Group and hadn’t the slightest care for the company at all.
How could she have known about such a serious situation?
“William and Madame Brittany originally founded Rockefeller Group, so she knows all about its internal affairs. She probably knew about every single distribution channel under the company. Coupled with Lush Cosmetics’ unbelievably effective products, those distribution channels would abandon us and return to her once she gives the nod,” Noah added.
“In that case, does that mean Rockefeller Group is really going bankrupt?” Paige asked.
“Rockefeller Group won’t go bankrupt! ” Right then, a man and a woman walked in from the outside.
They were none other than Carol Rockefeller, who had left home for many days, and Witch Doctor Sect’s young master, Levi Bayer.
Carol was holding a small child in her arms.
“Carol!” Mariah jumped to her feet and ran over to her daughter.
“Mom, I’m back!” Carol said.
“It’s great that you’ve returned. This…” Mariah trailed off.
“This is your grandchild,” Carol said.
Mariah had a somewhat odd expression on her face. After all, this grandchild had appeared too suddenly. Typically, a person had to go through a pregnancy period of ten months. However, had Carol even been pregnant for ten days?
This was like riding a rocket!
When Mariah looked down and saw the appearance of the child, she immediately cried out in horror.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1090
Marial Hamilton plopped down onto the ground with a thump. She had a horrified expression on her face.
After that, Noah Rockefeller and Paige Rockefeller also saw the appearance of the child. They both had odd expressions on the ir faces. It was almost as if they’d seen a terrifying monster.
Paige didn’t hold back and pointed at the haunting baby. “Carol, is this a joke? You didn’t even have a boyfriend a month ago. Where did this child come from? It’s also very ugly… Tsk, tsk Look at its teeth. Is it even human? Isn’t this a beast? Could you have mated with a monkey or something?”
“Waaaaa!” The frightful baby in Carol Rockefeller’s hand suddenly cried loudly.
It hopped onto Paige’s body and bit her.
“Ahhh!!” Paige screamed in pain. Her shoulder had been bitten.
After biting Paige, the baby refused to let go. Instead, it began sucking her blood with all its might.
However, a few seconds later, the baby let go. It seemed to be completely unsatisfied with Paige’s blood. It then opened its mouth and spurted a mouthful of blood on Paige’s face. After that, it hopped back into Carol’s arms.
With blood smeared all over her face, Paige stood where she was in utter terror. She couldn’t even speak.
Carol glanced coldly at Paige. “Auntie, be careful of what you say next time. He can understand you. If this happens again, he might bite your tongue off.”
Paige looked at the ferocious haunting baby. Goosebumps began sprouting all over her body.
“I… I have stuff to do at home. I’ll be leaving first!” Paige exclaimed before leaving as if she was trying to escape.
Noah and his wife also seemed terrified. Finally, Noah looked over at Levi Bayer, who was standing next to Carol. “Carol, this is…” He calmed himself down and started speaking.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. His name is Levi Bayer. He’s my man. Also, he’s the young master of the Witch Doctor Sect, and he has excellent medical skills. He should be able to cure my sister’s legs,” Carol said.
“Really? That’s great!” replied Noah.
Levi finally began to speak. “Curing her leg is a small matter. Even if someone dies, I could bring that person back to life. This is something a person from the Witch Doctor Sect is capable of.”
Natalie Rockefeller was on the second floor of the villa. The group of people immediately went upstairs.
After checking on Natalie’ 3 legs, Levi frowned slightly.
“L-Levi… What do you think of my daughter’s legs?” Noah asked nervously.
“Her legs have been damaged by a powerful poison. This poison is extremely unforgiving. It’s already ruined her veins and nerves. It’s impossible to restore her legs to their original state,” Levi said.
After Levi said that, the Rockefeller family members instantly felt disappointed.
Natalie even shed tears.
However, Levi continued to speak. “But there is a way to resolve this. We can replace your legs with those of a normal girl.”
“Huh?”
“Will… Will this work?”
“Of course! We can even replace hearts and brains. Why can’t we replace legs?” Levi asked.
“In that case, use mine,” Mariah said with gritted teeth.
“Mom, how could we use your legs? I have someone suitable in mind,” Carol said slyly.
“Who is it?” Noah asked.
“Lady Beatrice Assex, Alex’s sister-in-law! ” Carol exclaimed.
