Ch. 1191..1200
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1191
Bennett Melvis was the Divine Constabulary’s person in charge in Alaska. His role was equivalent to that of an office manager. Bennett was also the eldest son of the Divine Constabulary’s president, Geronimo Melvis. He was born to Geronimo and his first wife, Ruby Lamar. In reality, Bennett’s cultivation wasn’t weak either. He was a half-stepped Grandmaster.
However, he didn’t like to put himself in danger. In fact, he didn’t even like being out under the sun or rain. All he liked to do was stay in the office. Whenever he was free, he’d drink a little alcohol and tease his female secretary. As a result, his stomach had gotten so big that one might mistake him as a woman who’d been pregnant for five months.
Right then, his secretary walked in wearing a sexy skirt that exposed her thighs. She had thick makeup on, and her eyes were beautiful.
“Mr. Melvis!” The woman walked in without even knocking on the door. After entering, she closed the door behind her.
With a document holder in her hands, she leaned over and handed the document holder over to Bennett. “One of the local Divine Constabulary branches sent over a fascinating document. Would you like to have a look?” she asked.
“What document?” Bennett asked while he sat on his chair. He wasn’t looking at the document holder. Instead, he was smiling, staring at the female secretary’s collar.
With one of her hands pressed against the table and her upper body bent over, Bennett could see her attractive physique under her clothes. How could he still pay attention to the document?
“A battle took place on a certain lake in California!” She exclaimed.
“Oh? Was it an intense battle?” Bennett asked.
“Very intense!” She replied.
When the female secretary spoke, her body bounced a little.
Suddenly, Bennett was even more pleased. He was practically drooling. “I love intense battles. Silvia, hurry up and take it out. I want to take a closer look,” he said while smiling.
“Mr. Bennett, where are you looking? I feel as if you’re looking through me like I’m not wearing any clothes,” the secretary, Silvia, murmured.
Bennett retracted a little. “Erm… I was just looking at your clothes. You’re dressed unusually nice today. If you pulled it aside a little more… Oh, I mean, hurry up and open the document holder. I want to have a look at the document inside.”
Only then did Silvia open the document to show him. “I heard that experts at the Grandmaster rank of cultivation showed up in California to fight on a lake. There was a huge commotion, and it even caused a lot of injuries and casualties among ordinary citizens who were watching the battle around the lake.”
“A battle between Grandmasters?” Bennett was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize the severity of the situation, and he quickly looked at the document.
However, there weren’t any names of the people involved in the battle on the document.
“D*mn! Which jerk sent this document over? It’s a complete mess, and nothing is clear on it! Is this a novel? These are all baseless adjectives. What on earth are ‘hundred foot tall water columns’ and ‘giant palms on the lake’? Shall I add ‘God’s Palm’ to it too?”
Bennett yelled before slamming the document against the desk.
The document was nowhere near as pleasant to look at as… The female secretary!
Right then, the female secretary took out a USB flash drive. “Sir, there’s also a video of it here. Would you like to have a look?”
“Oh, there’s also a video. Let’s have a look!” Bennett pointed at a mechanical box below his feet. “The USB flash drive’s jack is down there. Help me to plug it into the jack. I’m too buff. It’s a little troublesome to bend over,” Bennett said.
Was he buff?
It looked more like he was pregnant!
The female secretary placed her hands on her hips before circling to bend over. After that, she carefully plugged the USB flash drive into the USB jack.
When Bennett looked at the female secretary from behind, he nearly felt something exploding inside him. He gently pressed his body against hers.
Once the female secretary was done plugging in the USB flash drive, he intentionally shoved her a little.
The female secretary knocked her head against the desk, and she subconsciously backed away. As she did so, she fell against Bennett’s body. Bennett grabbed hold of her tightly. “Silvia, are you alright? Why are you so careless? Did you get hurt? Here, let me rub it for you,” he said thoughtfully.
The female secretary half heartedly pushed him away, but she also allowed him to do as he pleased. Soon, the two were glued to each other.
This was all part of Bennett’s daily life.
He’d use all sorts of methods to have romantic encounters with his female colleagues.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1192
However, this fellow had a unique quirk. He only liked to take advantage of women, but he would never actually do the real thing with them. Frankly speaking, based on his status, many women in the Divine Constabulary were willing to throw themselves into his arms. For example, the woman in front of him wanted to do so too…
As long as he was willing, he could lift her skirt up at any time!
However, Bennett Melvis still maintained his last line of defense. The reason was for this was because he was impotent!
It was the kind of impotence that couldn’t be helped even if he took medicine. If he went forward with actually tried to have sex, he’d be exposed. Of course, he wouldn’t dare to do it! That would ruin his reputation!
Once the document on the USB flash drive was opened, Bennett seemed dumbfounded when he saw the video. He thought he was watching a movie with special effects. “Is this real? Are you sure it’s not a movie clip made by some stupid studio?”
“Of course, it isn’t. Even if the subordinates are lazy, they won’t send such intel over to you,” Silvia said.
While Silvia was speaking, she noticed Bennett’s hand had ended up touching her upskirt. She didn’t resist it, but she merely swayed her hip a little, pretending to be reserved.
After that, Bennett clicked on a picture. It was a picture of Brittany Rockefeller being held hostage.
“This…” Bennett was stunned for a moment.
He immediately took his hand out of Silvia’s skirt and rubbed his eyes… When he saw Brittany’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity. Upon taking a closer look, he didn’t feel good at all.
Bennett instantly pushed Silvia away, unplugged the USB flash drive, and ran out!
***
“Mom! Hurry up, look at this person. Does she look familiar to you?” Bennett asked.
The person he rushed to look for was none other than his mother, Ruby Lamar.
Ruby was already very old. Soon, it would be her eightieth birthday. However, as the wife of the Divine Constabulary’s president, she was very well taken care of. Not only did she have good food, good sleep, and good supplements, but she even had access to some herbal pills that ordinary folks wouldn’t get to consume. At this point, she still looked very young. In fact, she was like Angeline Joline, who looked young despite her age.
“Bennett, you’re already over fifty. Why are you still so fidgety when handling the Divine Constabulary’s internal affairs? Who made you this panicked?” Ruby asked slowly.
However, when Ruby saw Brittany’s picture, she was also stunned right away. “This… Is this that little b*tch?”
Bennett shook his head. “I don’t know. I can’t be too sure,” he said.
“Where did this photo come from?” Ruby asked.
Bennett told her what happened from the beginning.
Ruby sighed softly in relief. “Although it looks like her, it’s not quite possible. Back then, those two b*tches were definitely killed by the poison! We used Soul Scattering Poison on them. They can’t possibly live up to this day.”
Even so, Ruby still couldn’t help but worry.
“Does your father know about this?” she asked.
Bennett shook his head. “Dad has been in seclusion. He doesn’t care about the Divine Constabulary’s affairs. He probably doesn’t know about it.”
“We can’t let him see this picture!” Ruby said.
“I know! But the more I look at the picture, the more I think it’s her,” Bennett said.
“Get someone to investigate this thoroughly,” Ruby said before pausing momentarily.
“No, it doesn’t matter if it’s her. It’s this woman’s fault for looking like her. Send someone to kill this woman,” Ruby added.
A murderous intent welled up in Ruby’s eyes. She seemed hideous. Although that incident happened forty years ago, it must never be known by Geronimo Melvis.
Otherwise, it would be Ruby’s doomsday. It would also be the Lamar family’s doomsday.
“What about Yvonne Wilmer? Could she also still be alive?” Bennett asked.
“Find out! Make sure you get to the bottom of it!” Ruby said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1193
Bennett Melvis accepted the order and went away immediately. He didn’t dare to waste any time at all. That was because he was also afraid of secrets being exposed.
All these years, he knew very well that his father had never stopped thinking about Yvonne Wilmer and his youngest daughter, Brianna Melvis. Geronimo adored Brianna like no other. Based on the name Geronimo gave Brianna, Bennett could also tell how much Geronimo adored Yvonne.
Back then, Bennett’s mother was the one who planned everything. Meanwhile, Bennett was her accomplice. Bennett still remembered clearly how he forced his ten year old sister, Brianna, to drink a tube of Soul Scattering Poison. It gave him nightmares for ten years. With much difficulty, it became a thing of the past.
Did he have to do it all over again?
“Please don’t be Brianna! Because I don’t want to kill you again!”
***
Although the great battle on Moonlight Lake had come to an end in California, its impact was incomparably far reaching. The battle had revealed to commoners the shocking methods used in martial arts. Despite officials taking the lead to set up traps and censor everything related to the battle from spreading, they still couldn’t stop people from sharing it privately through word of mouth.
As a result, the popularity of martial arts increased significantly in California.
Not only did martial arts academies in the city suddenly receive a lot of attention, but martial arts dramas on various video streaming platforms also suddenly became a hit. All sorts of martial arts novels were also widely read among the citizens.
Countless people sat down together to chat about the topic, and now and then, they would mention the epic battle on Moonlight Lake.
Since the old man who kidnapped someone was already dead, there was nothing much to say about him. The thing people cared about was the identity of the person who fought against the old man during the battle. Also, who was the ice cold beauty who jumped into the lake?
In Assex Villa, Claire Assex immediately hopped onto her feet when she saw her youngest daughter returning home with a bandage wrapped around her face. “Hey, what trouble did you get into now? What happened to your face? Let me see.”
“It’s nothing!” Beatrice Assex didn’t want Claire to see it. However, Claire moved very fast, and she managed to tear the bandage off Beatrice’s face.
Claire was shocked to see a very long wound on her face. “How did this happen? It’s such a large wound. Are you trying to become an ugly beast with a scar like me? How will you get married to a rich man in the future? Are you trying to break your mother’s heart?”
“Why would I get married to a rich man? Anyway, the man I like doesn’t have any interest in me,” Beatrice said with a pout.
“What did you say? Who do you fancy?” Claire asked.
“I…” Could Beatrice tell Claire that she had fallen for her ex-son-in-law?
Clearly, Beatrice couldn’t do that!
“Nobody! I will never get married to anyone in this lifetime. Anyway, you’ll end up breaking us up just like how you did to my sister!” Beatrice said.
Claire was so angry that she wanted to hit Beatrice. However, after seeing the wound on Beatrice’s face, she couldn’t do it in the end.
“If such a huge wound isn’t treated, it’s certainly going to leave a scar behind! I went through so much trouble to give birth to two pretty daughters. You must earn enough to cover my capital at the very least. I can’t count on your older sister now. She’s grown tough and doesn’t listen to what I say anymore. I’ll have to count on you in the future…” Claire said.
“Mom, I think your brain tumor is acting up again. You’d better get Alex to cure it for you. Otherwise, you might accidentally become a lunatic,” Beatrice said.
“How dare you speak to your mother like this?” Claire yelled.
“I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Anyway, what you did to Dorothy won’t work on me! If I like a man, I will elope with him even if he was a beggar! It’s pointless even if you hold a knife to your neck! Look, Alex was a wonderful man, and you forced him and Dorothy apart. You did something sinful. Why do you think Dorothy ignores you and doesn’t like talking to you? It’s because you care about nothing but money. You don’t deserve to be a mother!” Beatrice yelled.
Wham!
Claire was furious. She slapped Beatrice across the face. “You piece of sh*t!” she shouted angrily.
“How dare you hit me? Was I wrong? You’re a lunatic. You’re sick in the head!” Beatrice yelled before pushing Claire away.
Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.
Beatrice stormed upstairs. Just as she was about to enter the room, she turned around and noticed Claire had fallen to the ground. She was lying still and didn’t move at all.
“Hey. Why are you pretending to be dead? I know exactly what you’re doing. You’re a drama queen!” Beatrice stormed into her room anyway.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1194
Half a minute later, Beatrice Assex ran out to have a look. Only then did she realize that something was amiss.
She immediately ran downstairs with her feet bare. “Mom? Mom… Is this really happening? Mom, wake up. Don’t scare me!”
Beatrice’s immediate reaction was to call Alex Rockefeller on the phone. “Alex, Alex, something terrible has happened. My mother fainted! Can you come over to check on her?”
Right then, Alex had just finished eating. Throughout the entire meal, Brittany Rockefeller hadn’t come downstairs. This put Alex in a very poor mood.
When he heard Beatrice’s plea, he started to frown. “What happened to her now?”
“I… I don’t know either. I just pushed her a little, and she passed out,” Beatrice said.
“Where’s your sister?” Alex asked.
“I… I don’t know either,” she said.
After hanging up the phone, Alex gave Dorothy Assex a call. He discovered that her phone had been turned off again.
“What the hell?
“Her phone is always turned off!”
Helplessly, Alex had to drive over in a rush.
***
By the time Alex arrived at Assex Villa, Beatrice was already waiting anxiously by the door. When she saw Alex, she immediately pulled him along while they walked inside. “Hurry up. My mother is lying inside there. She didn’t move at all. Her face looks very pale too, and her heartbeat seems to have weakened. Could something bad have happened to her?”
Alex quickly ran over. When he saw Claire, he started frowning.
“This situation is somewhat dire. The angioma in your mother’s brain had burst,” Alex looked at Beatrice and said.
“Huh?” As soon as Beatrice heard this, she burst into tears. “It’s all my fault! I pushed her. Alex, do something to save my mother. I’ll do whatever you ask me to,” she said frantically.
“Alright! Deal!”
At this moment, Claire was indeed in a rather dire situation.
With the burst angioma, she now suffered from intracranial hemorrhage. That led to increased intracranial pres sure. If it wasn’t dealt with quickly, it might lead to a case of permanent vegetative state. Claire might never be able to wake up.
Alex immediately carried Claire in his arms and ran up to the second floor.
He didn’t forget to remind Beatrice about what she ought to do. “Do not disturb me until I call for you!”
“Oh, okay!” Beatrice replied.
The room Alex ran into was Claire’s room. After entering, Alex closed the door behind him. He quickly put Claire on the bed.
Alex also took off his shoes and got onto the bed. He sat in front of Claire’s head. Just as he was about to use his dragon bone needle to drain the blood out of her brain, he suddenly felt something poking at him under his buttocks. He reached out to grab it.
“Holy sh*t!” Alex was instantly shocked when he saw a round object.
After that, he looked at Claire, who was in front of him. She still looked pretty for her age, and there was something attractive about her being matured. Alex licked his dry lips before quickly tossing the personal item away. However, before this, he sneakily moved it close to his nose to sniff at it. After that, he frantically threw it away. There was a disgusted expression on hisface.
The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell!
The first needle!
***
Half an hour later, Alex walked out of the room.
Beatrice was standing by the door while she waited for news. “How did it go?” she asked.
“She’s fine now! That aside, your face…” Alex said.
Unexpectedly, Beatrice jumped into his arms and cried. “Thank you, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Surprisingly, Dorothy walked in at this moment.
When she saw the two people hugging each other, her gaze instantly turned cold.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1195
Not only did Alex Rockefeller, a sensitive person, sense Dorothy Assex’s sheer cold aura right away, but even Beatrice Assex could sense it despite having her back facing her sister.
When Beatrice turned around and saw her sister glaring at her with a cold, piercing gaze, she was instantly shocked. Beatrice had never seen her sister with a cold gaze like this.
It was as if Dorothy was a different person.
However, Beatrice soon remembered how she had previously called Dorothy to tell her that Brittany Rockefeller had been kidnapped. She even told Dorothy that Alex might be in danger, but Dorothy’s reaction was unusually indifferent. It was as if Dorothy had nothing to do with Brittany and Alex.
‘Since you don’t care about Alex anymore, why are you still showing this kind of attitude? Hmph!’ Beatrice was secretly unhappy.
‘He’s not even your husband. Who are you showing your annoyed expression to?’ She thought again.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Beatrice. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Alex on the lips. “Alex, I meant what I said earlier. Whenever you want me, I’ll give myself to you,” she said softly.
Alex was dumbfounded.
Earlier, he was only focused on looking at Dorothy. He wasn’t guarded against such a sneak attack from Beatrice. As such, the sneak attack was a success.
However, when did he say something like this?
Right then, there was a flash of a silhouette. Dorothy, who was still in the living room on the first floor, suddenly appeared behind Beatrice.
She slapped Beatrice heavily across her face. It was precisely on the spot where Beatrice had gotten hurt on her face.
The wound instantly ruptured, and blood flowed out. Not only that, but Dorothy even grabbed Beatrice by her shirt and pulled her away from Alex. She then tossed Beatrice onto the ground.
“You’re an embarrassment!” Dorothy said coldly.
Alex was a little stunned.
The speed at which Dorothy moved was too fast. Even he didn’t manage to see clearly.
However, upon taking a closer look at Dorothy, Alex realized that she didn’t have any martial arts cultivation.
‘Could her physical body actually become more powerful to this extent?’
Alex looked at Dorothy with widened eyes. “How did you move so fast just now?” he asked.
“Hmph!” Dorothy glared at him fiercely.
Although she could tolerate Alex screwing other women out there, she couldn’t stop herself from being angry at the fact that he had set his eyes upon her younger sister. Meanwhile, Beatrice touched her face. When she felt the blood, she immediately started screaming, “Dorothy Assex, have you gone mad? Who are you to hit me? How dare you?!”
“How dare I? He’s your brother-in-law. You’re a university student. Don’t you know shame?” Dorothy asked.
“Pfft! Alex is not your husband anymore. You two got a divorce. Are you still dreaming? I’m not married, and neither is he. There’s nothing wrong with us being together out in the open. Who are you to care? Besides, you stopped loving him a long time ago, didn’t you?” Beatrice retorted.
“You’re mistaken! We got married again!” Dorothy said calmly to Beatrice’s surprise.
That sentence alone made Beatrice speechless.
“I… I don’t behave it. Where’s the marriage certificate? Show it to me!” Beatrice exclaimed.
“Who would bring their marriage certificate around? Back then, if it weren’t for you and Mom forcing me to get divorced, I wouldn’t have done it! To tell you the truth, that was a faked divorce! I have another marriage certificate with me. Would you like to have a look?” Dorothy chuckled coldly.
After that, she casually retrieved a marriage booklet from her purse and tossed it over to Beatrice. “Take a good look at it! I knew what you were up to long ago. However, unless I’m dead, you can stop dreaming about it,” Dorothy said.
Beatrice opened the booklet to have a look. It was an ancient marriage booklet. However, she remembered the date written on it very well. It was the day Dorothy and Alex got divorced.
That meant it was really a faked divorce!
Suddenly, Beatrice’s face turned pale. She felt thoroughly hopeless.
Alex touched his nose. “Honey, what you saw earlier wasn’t real. Beatrice… She was only thanking me for saving your mother! As for her… Ahem. Don’t worry. I’ve never had any feelings for her since the beginning. I only think of her as a sister. Your little sister!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1196
Alex Rockefeller emphasized.
Dorothy Assex kicked him once. “Do you think I’m a fool and can’t tell what’s going on? This little b*tch used to yell at you for being a loser. She made you wash her socks every day. Unless, of course, you like the smell of her dirty socks. I’d have nothing to say then. Now, I’d willingly let her have you. That would spare me any further trouble!”
Alex directly pulled Dorothy into the room. “Let’s check on your mother. Earlier, the angioma in her brain ruptured. Fortunately, your little sister called me in time. Otherwise, things would’ve been unpredictable.”
When Dorothy heard this, she hurriedly ran into the room. Once she walked close to the bed, she suddenly slipped on something.
“What is this?” Dorothy asked.
She picked it up and looked at it. It was the personal item Alex had sniffed and tossed aside the bed earlier.
“Ahem. This is a personal item your mother used before. Hurry up and put it down!” Alex immediately said.
Dorothy didn’t react in time at first. After exactly three seconds, her facial expression changed drastically, and she frantically threw it away.
However, she exerted too much force when she did so. It knocked against the ceiling before falling directly onto Claire Assex’s body… To be honest, based on the two of their powers, they could easily catch it. However, neither of them moved. They watched the object spin around and landed directly on Claire’s mouth.
“Mrnph!”
The collision woke Claire up. She extended her hand to touch the spot on her mouth that was hurting. Just as she grabbed the object, she also opened her eyes and saw three people in the room.
Beatrice had also entered the room.
“What are all of you doing?” Claire asked in surprise as she sat upright.
After taking a look at the object in her hand, she shouted in surprise before throwing it to Alex. “This… Who does this belong to? It’s not mine!”
Alex felt perturbed.
‘If this isn’t yours, could it even be mine?’
‘Most importantly, there isn’t even any way for me to use it!’
Moreover, when Claire threw it at him, he had no choice but to catch it. That was because Dorothy stood right beside him. He couldn’t dodge even if he wanted to.
Dorothy began laughing unjustly.
Everyone in the room could guess it.
Claire must have felt embarrassed about using this object. She probably wished she could hide in a hole right now. It was only expected for her to deny using it. Hence, none of them continued to press on in this matter.
“Mom, your angioma ruptured earlier. I was terrified. Fortunately, Alex arrived in time and saved the day! About that, Mom, I was wrong. I’ll never push you again,” Beatrice said.
Only then did Dorothy find out about the hidden truth. She rolled her eyes at her little sister fiercely.
Claire touched her head, shocked. “Me? Ruptured angioma? When did I ever have an angioma?”
After a pause, she turned to look at Beatrice. “What happened to your face?”
Beatrice rolled her eyes at her older sister. “It’s nothing. I accidentally hurt myself.”
“Mom, have you forgotten? Back when you had a check up at the hospital, we already found out that you had an angioma. But don’t worry, Alex has already completely cured you of it. Even your blocked blood vessels and blood circulation issues have been fixed,” Dorothy said.
“Oh?!” Claire touched her head again and looked at Alex.
There was a look in her eyes that Alex had never seen before. It was a deep sense of confusion.
Alex frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
Right then, Claire started speaking. “Is he the Alex you two talked about? Is he already a doctor at this age? That’s impressive! Thank you… Oh, right Where is this place? Why am I here? Isn’t this a hospital?”
As soon as she said those things, everyone’s facial expression instantly changed!
Dorothy pointed at Alex in shock. “Mom, don’t you recognize him anymore?” she asked Claire.
“What do you mean? Isn’t it normal for me not to recognize him?” Claire asked.
Alex smacked his head.
‘Oh my god! This lady has suffered from memory loss!’ He thought.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1197
“What exactly happened to my mother?” Dorothy Assex pulled Alex Rockefeller aside while she asked.
Alex thought about it for a moment. “I’m afraid a part of her memory was affected when the angioma ruptured. Now, she’s lost a portion of her memory. I can’t say for sure when she’ll recover her memory, but her lesion is already gone.”
“In that case, do you know which part of her memory was lost?” Dorothy asked.
“I really have no idea. We’ll have to experiment and find out gradually,” Alex said.
Dorothy and Alex looked at each other for a few seconds. She then nodded.
“Is your mother alright?” Dorothy then asked.
“My mother? Did you find out about it too?” Alex asked.
“The great battle on Moonlight Lake went viral. How could I not have found out?” Dorothy rolled her eyes.
“It’s all fine now!” Alex said.
“That’s good,” Dorothy said.
“Honey, I sense something odd with your body. I need to give you a thorough check-up,” Alex said.
Dorothy pushed Alex’s hand away. “Get lost! I think you’re just horny. I’m not in the mood right now,” she said.
“Ehh, that’s not what I meant…”
“If you’re really too energetic, go and cook us a meal. The stuff my mother cooks tastes like pig’s food… Also, take care of the wound on her face. How could we let her go out like this?” Dorothy said as she pointed at Beatrice.
***
“How did you cut your face?” Alex brought Beatrice to her room.
This was the first time Alex entered her room. To his surprise, it was rather neat and clean. There were quite many photos of herself. Most of thern were of her in weird poses.
Beatrice had a complicated look in her eyes when she faced Alex.
There was a tinge of sadness in them. However, she didn’t answer Alex’s question. “Does this mean I still have to address you as my brother-in-law?” she asked.
Alex shook her head. “It’d be best if you didn’t,” he said.
Beatrice’s eyes lit up. “Why is that?”
“When I got a divorce from your sister, one of the reasons was because of your mother. Most importantly, it was because I would put all of you in danger. It’s fine if we got a divorce. That way, all of you would also receive less harm,” Alex said.
“Just like how I was kidnapped by Carol last time?” Beatrice asked.
“That’s right!” Alex said.
When Carol was mentioned, Alex’s gaze instantly turned cold. He had already found out that Carol Rockefeller played a big part in Brittany Rockefeller being kidnapped by the ancestor of the Witch Doctor Sect. Carol even instigated the ancestor to chop off Brittany’s limbs.
This woman hated Alex and his family to the core. Meanwhile, her behavior seemed to have no limits to be spoken of. Her target of revenge was not Alex himself but the people around him.
This person had to die!
When Beatrice saw Alex like this, she was a little scared.
Alex, on the other hand, took out a jade pendant from his fanny pack. It looked identical to the one he gave Cheryl Coney previously. Coincidentally, there was still blood on Beatrice’s face. He directly smeared some of her blood on the jade pendant.
A flash of light appeared briefly.
“What is this…?”
“This is a defensive mystical tool. If you keep it on, it can protect you!” Alex said blandly.
At this point, there was already no reason to keep things a secret. It would be helpful for Beatrice to find out a little more about these things.
“If you don’t need to remove it, keep this thing on you at all times, and don’t take it off,” Alex added.
Beatrice’s eyes widened. She touched the jade pendant and seemed to be very fond of it.
“Your wound must have been cut by a certain sharp object, right? Did someone do it?” Alex looked at Beatrice’s face.
“Huh? I… I went to Moonlight Lake earlier. A window exploded. That’s how…” Beatrice said.
“You’re too free, ” Alex said.
“Was that… Was that person you?” Beatrice asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1198
Alex Rockefeller didn’t want to answer the question. “Turn your face around and close your eyes.”
Ten minutes later, Beatrice Assex’s face recovered to its original appearance. After acquiring spiritual power for his Ultimate Book of Medicine, Alex had already perfected this particular skill.
After that, he spent over half an hour cooking a few dishes for the family. Only then did he leave the Assex family.
Of course, before departing, he left behind two extra pieces of jade pendants.
***
Against the backdrop of the early autumn’s dusk, the weather fluctuated between hot and cold.
When Alex returned to Rockefeller Manor, he saw his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, standing by herself in front of a fishpond. Under a dim streetlamp, she seemed very lonely.
Alex stopped walking. His heart ached slightly. Although beautiful ladies surrounded him, his mother had been all alone ever since his father left. Previously, she was still fueled by the hatred for his father’s enemies. But now, with Rockefeller Group close to collapsing before her eyes, Brittany also seemed like a piece of duckweed floating in the ocean. She was gradually losing her direction.

But now, with Rockefeller Group close to collapsing before her eyes, Brittany also seemed like a piece of duckweed floating in the ocean. She was gradually losing her direction.
At least, it was much more exhausting than Spark Rockefeller’s life. That spoiled kid didn’t have to learn anything.
“Tomorrow will be your father’s death anniversary!” Brittany suddenly said solemnly. “Get prepared in the morning. Cook something for your father,” she said.
“Ehh..?” Alex opened his mouth. The corners of his mouth twitched a little.
Just thinking about paying respect to that old sow made him feel uncomfortable.
Alex thought if it was time to tell Brittany about the hidden truth behind his father’s disappearance. Perhaps, Brittany would be able to deal with life properly… However, Alex decided to wait in the end. That was because there were too many uncertainties involved in this matter.
However, the Divine Constabulary’s president…
“Mom? About what Guardian Zachary Xavier said today…” Alex said.
However, Brittany cut him off again. “I told you never to bring this up again. I know you’ve joined the Divine Constabulary now, but don’t ever think about getting close to the president for your progression. In fact, don’t reveal your identity. It won’t do you any good! Perhaps, if it’s possible, leave the organization!” Brittany said.
“Mom, are you feeding the fish?” Alex asked. He walked over and placed his right hand over her shoulder.
Upon taking a closer look, Alex discovered the corners of her eyes were moist.
“Yeah. If nobody feeds the fish for any longer, they’d all starve to death!” Brittany pretended to be calm as she used her inner force to vaporize her tears.
However, she didn’t know that Alex had already noticed it.
Alex tightened the grip of his hand. “The manor is huge. Indeed, we need to get a few people to look after it. Let’s go back. I’ll watch the television with you. We haven’t watched it together for a while now,” Alex said.
Brittany chuckled. “I don’t want to watch cartoons.”
Alex was stunned for a moment. When he was a kid, Brittany had personally supervised him. He was only allowed to watch cartoons for half an hour. After that, he would have to do his homework. Either that, or he would have to practice all sorts of extra curricular courses, such as piano, calligraphy, and chess.
Brittany made sure her son had a well rounded development.
Recalling all this now, Alex felt that his life from the time he was in primary school until middle school was even more exhausting than a dog’s life.
“Mom, that’s not what l meant! I meant to say that if the Melvis family did you and Grandma wrong, I could avenge you two,” Alex said.
Brittany shook her head. “That’s not necessary! To be honest, your grandmother never hated him! Before she died, she insisted that I never think about exacting revenge. It wasn’t his fault. We could only blame it on that era.”
Alex pulled Brittany back into the house!

Meanwhile, Bennett Melvis had just received a report. Brittany was a citizen of Long Beach. Her mother’s name was Emerald Winter. Brittany lost her mother at the age of sixteen. Her mother was buried in a small cemetery in Long Beach. However, her name on the tombstone was Yvonne Wilmer!
This was because Yvonne Wilmer changed her name when she ran away from Alaska with her daughter. However, it was the only thing that gave Yvonne away after she died. Back then, Yvonne was an espionage agent. She was very good at keeping her identity a secret. That was why she hadn’t been discovered after so many years.
However, Brittany couldn’t possibly write her mother’s fake name on the tombstone, right? On top of that, many years had already passed, and it was a small place. Brittany didn’t think she would be exposed.
However, little did she know, once the Divine Constabulary had locked on to the results and investigated the matter in a deductive way, it was much easier for them to find what they needed.
Further below, there was all the information on Brittany.
“Sigh. It really is my sister, Brianna! I can only say sorry!”
Bennett made a call. “Shadow, I need you to do something. It’s to nip things in the bud!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1199
After that, Bennett Melvis walked up to his mother, Ruby Lamar.
“Mom, it’s been confirmed. That woman is Brianna Melvis!” he said.
Ruby’s yellow pupils instantly became dilated. Right after that, her facial expression turned incomparably cold and cruel. “What about Yvonne Wilmer?”
“She’s dead! She died many years ago. However, after escaping from the Melvis family, she lived for another six years,” Bennett said.
Ruby snorted coldly. “Such luck! Even after consuming Poison King’s Soul Scattering Poison, she lived for another six years. That little b*tch, especially, was able to live until now. I truly wonder how they managed to do it!”
“Morn, why do you think they haven’t told Dad about it since they’ve lived on for so many years?” This was something Bennett couldn’t quite figure out.
Ruby chuckled sinisterly. “Why do you think? That’s because Yvonne thinks that the person who forced her to drink the poisoned alcohol was your father! I was only there to do something he had instructed me to. Do you think they would still go to your father and complain to him about it?”
This had always been the scheme that Ruby was most pleased with.
After all these years, nobody had discovered it. Hence, after speaking, she started laughing loudly again.
After pausing for a moment, she sat on an exquisite wicker chair and picked up a cup of bird’s nest tea. She took a few sips before she spoke. “Come. Tell me what that little b*tch, Brianna, had been up to all these years. Her mother was a b*tch who sold her body to entertain others. Brianna must also be a b*tch herself. Without Yvonne, could she have become a prostitute?”
“Ehh… This didn’t happen. From the information I gathered, she seems quite capable,” Bennett said.
“Oh? Pray tell,” Ruby said.
“Brianna got married to a man named William Rockefeller in California. She even gave birth to a son. A few decades ago, she established a large enterprise, Rockefeller Group, that only sold cosmetic products. At its peak, the company had a market value of 300 billion! However, around this time last year, an accident happened. Her husband died in a car crash, and she went into a coma for ten months…” Bennett said.
At this point, Ruby snorted. “This little b*tch is destined to bring bad luck to her husband,” she said.
“But she woke up three months ago. Recently, she established a new cosmetics company. It’s called Lush Cosmetics. It seems to be doing quite well. As for why she was kidnapped, we haven’t found out the reason for now… ” Bennett said.
“What? Lush Cosmetics?” Right then, a woman walked through the door from the outside. She was approximately the age of fifty, and she was dressed gracefully and elegantly.
This woman was Ruby’s daughter, Bailey Melvis.
“Mom, Big Brother, what are you two talking about? Why would a man like you know about Lush Cosmetics?” Bailey asked.
Ruby frowned slightly. “Why didn’t I hear a thing when you came in?”
The things they talked about earlier were not to be found out by Geronimo Melvis. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stay in the Melvis family any longer. Based on how much the old man loved Yvonne Wilmer, he might even kill Ruby.
Fortunately, this was Ruby’s daughter. Her daughter had also heard a few things about what happened years ago. That was why Ruby could relax.
“Bailey, how do you also know about Lush Cosmetics?” Bennett asked.
Bailey chuckled. “Of course, I know about it! Lush Cosmetics is trendy now! Its products are endorsed by the superstar, Daya Stoermer. Be it the scar removal cream or the acne cream, they’re all the best of the best. Whatever this brand comes out with, it nearly dominates the entire beauty and skincare industry! Unfortunately, this company is quite proud. My friend wanted to sell Lush Cosmetics products. Despite bringing a few reputable people to discuss with the company, their people wouldn’t even show any respect,” Bailey said.
“In that case, do you know who the boss behind Lush Cosmetics is?” Bennett asked.
“I heard it’s a young girl called Howards or something,” Bailey said.
“Well, you’re wrong. That’s just a smokescreen. The real person behind the company is Brianna Melvis!” Bennett said.
“Brianna… Melvis?” Bailey’s mouth was wide open. She nearly screamed out loud.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1200
Bailey Melvis looked at her mother and older brother in disbelief. Soon, she found out approximately what the whole ordeal was about.
“Brother, Lush Cosmetics is a great company. I heard from my friend that this company has a limitless future. If it’s run well, it might even make a few ten trillion dollars in a year,” Bailey said.
“What?” This time, even Ruby Lamar was shocked. She dropped the cup of bird’s nest tea in her hands to the ground.
Bennett Melvis shook his head. “Sister, do you think of money as paper? Ten trillion dollars isn’t a small amount. Do you know how much that is? In Alaska, there are less than twenty companies that own assets up to ten trillion dollars. In fact, there are less than five companies that earn ten trillion dollars in a year,” he said.
Bailey chuckled. “Brother, that’s only because you don’t know how powerful Lush Cosmetics is. In this world, the easiest money to earn will always be from women! Since you’re going to deal with Brianna Melvis, you must acquire Lush Cosmetics first. Otherwise, it’d be a huge loss,” she said.
Before Bennett could say anything, Ruby offered her opinion first. “That’s right! What Bailey said is right! We must acquire Lush Cosmetics first. This will be our gold laying chicken! Hmph, regardless of anything else, Brianna still has ‘Melvis’ as her surname. Once she and her son are dead, their assets naturally belong to the Melvis family. It’s only right,” she said.
If Brittany Rockefeller heard this, she’d probably vomit blood from the rage she’d feel. There was nobody more despicable and shameless than Ruby!
“I’ve already asked Shadow to hurry over to California. However, apart from killing people, Shadow doesn’t know how to deal with business related matters,” Bennett said.
“Get Tucker to go with him! It’s about time he went out there to gain some experience,” Ruby said.
Tucker was Bennett Melvis’s youngest son, Tucker Melvis.
“But I heard about a shocking battle on Moonlight Lake in California. Since Brianna is involved in it, would it be dangerous?” Bailey asked.
Bennett snorted. “I’ve seen the video. The Grandmaster stuff is all an exaggeration! How could so many Martial Honors exist in the world? That explosion definitely happened because somebody buried a large number of explosives underneath Moonlight Lake in advance… Besides, we’re only dealing with Brianna and her son. Don’t worry,” he said.
Bailey instantly started clapping joyfully. “It’d be great if Lush Cosmetics fell into our hands! Previously, I couldn’t even buy the Beauty Cream I wanted! Once we acquire it, those noblewomen in the circle would all have to suck up to me!”
The family of three entertained themselves with happy thoughts, and they couldn’t resist laughing out loud.
***
Early next morning, Alex Rockefeller and Brittany Rockefeller went to the cemetery together. They cleaned up William Rockefeller’s tomb and made offerings.
Waltz Fleur, Maya Howards, Holly Yates, and even Xyla Stoermer went with them.
Waltz knew that the cinerary urn contained an old sow’s ashes. However, she had no reason not to come. They were occupied for up to half a day.
When Alex and Waltz saw Brittany crying in front of the old sow’s ashes, they really couldn’t look directly at her.
When it was close to noon, the group of people finally returned to Rockefeller Manor.
To their surprise, somebody was already waiting for them in front of the entrance. It was a young man with a cold and proud expression on his face. “Who among you is called Brianna Melvis?” he asked when he saw them.
Brittany’s heart shook fervently. “What do you want?” She looked at the young man in surprise.
“Does that mean you are Brianna Melvis?” The young man took out an invitation and tossed it over to Brittany. “Tonight, eight o’clock, at Shangri-La Hotel. Young Master Melvis has invited you to come over. If you dare to not show up, you’ll suffer the consequences!”
