The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 291

When the middle-aged man in a uniform turned around and saw Anna Coleman walk in, his entire body shook. Even his lips began to tremble.

“Anna… Coleman.”

It turned out he had met Anna before.

Back when there was a crime involving many female victims, Divine Constabulary intervened. Anna worked with the department the man was in. At that time, it was his boss who communicated with this extremely dominating lady. He had helped in the case for a while, and Anna left a very memorable impression on him.

Since Divine Constabulary was a mysterious department rarely known to outsiders, he didn’t dare to mention it in front of so many people.

“I was there when the unfortunate old man, Mr. Rockefeller, died last night,” Anna said calmly.

“I see, you were there too,” The man said.

“Yes, we were investigating a case. There was another woman who died with him, but we have already taken the woman’s corpse away.”

“I also have the footage to prove it,” Anna said.

“Thanks to the Rockefeller family who installed many surveillance cameras around the manor, people from Divine Constabulary were able to easily get their hands on such footage.”

Of course, the main purpose of getting the surveillance footage was to track down Pepper Kimmich’s murderer. Nobody expected the Rockefeller family to be heartless enough to claim that Alex Rockefeller was the culprit. Coincidentally, Anna could make use of the footage right now.

“That’s great! If Mr. Rockefeller is innocent, we must clear his name.” The middle-aged man who spoke was called Tony Lee. He was acquainted with John Rockefeller. He was initially there to help them against Alex. However, he wasn’t dumb. Now that there were so many prominent individuals backing Alex, including Anna, he would have to be a fool to side with John. Under Tony’s orders, someone immediately brought a large screen out for everyone to View the footage. During this process, John repeatedly gave hints to Tony, but Tony pretended as if he hadn’t noticed any of it.

The first part of the video began to play.

It actually showed John and Pepper having sex in the servants’ room. In fact, the video was shot very professionally.

All the guests were dumbfounded at once.

“D*mn. John sure has great stamina!”

“This woman must have been trained well.”

John nearly spat blood from his mouth after seeing this part of the video.

Olivia Banks’ face turned as black as coal.

Spark Rockefeller was dumbfounded.

“Turn it off, turn it off right now! ” John yelled and ran over to the machine to turn it off.

Tony waved his hand and several people immediately held John back “Mr. Rockefeller, there’s no need to be hasty. This is part of the evidence. We must watch it to understand what happened.”

When John saw himself in the video, he felt as if his vision was going dark

Waltz Fleur secretly scratched Alex’s finger. “You didn’t record this, did you? It looks so professional. Do you do this often? Why don’t we record something like this together once we get home?” She asked softly.

‘D*mn. This little demon!’ Alex thought to himself.

“I don’t record such things,” Alex said while giving Waltz the side-eye.

“Alright. Just one look at this is enough. There’s no point in watching any further. Let’s skip to the next part,” Anna said.

Tony personally operated the machine.

In the next part, the video showed Pepper holding Bill Rockefeller hostage while she confronted Alex and the others. After that, Pepper and Bill were attacked and dropped dead.

The video showed everything that happened clearly.

“Now, have we all seen everything clearly?” Anna asked.

When the guests turned to look at John and the other members of the Rockefeller family, they had a look of disdain in their eyes. Clearly, John was the one who slept with the woman and killed Bill, but he accused Alex of doing it. What an evil, scheming man!

Most of the people in the room were businessmen, and to them, business was all about integrity. Anyone as shameless as him would lose the trust of his business partners.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 292

Brittany Rockefeller looked at John Rockefeller and began speaking in a cold voice. “John Rockefeller, what else do you have to say now? You have no skills other than faking evidence and slandering others. This is exactly how you slandered William Rockefeller for being corrupted and betraying the country. The truth will always come to light.”

“I’m here to pay my respects to Father. Consider this an act of breaking all ties with this family.”

“I have told you before that Rockefeller Group will be a gift in return for your father raising William. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. However, you must pay for what you did today. If I could create Rockefeller Group from scratch, I can also destroy it. I won’t be using any other means besides proper business competition. I’ll make sure Rockefeller Groupgoes bankrupt within three months.”

“Alex, let’s go!” Brittany finished speaking before taking the lead to leave the funeral home.

She kept her gaze forward and never looked back.

Alex Rockefeller followed after her.

“Fine! Brittany, I’ll be waiting for you! You must be dreaming if you think you can beat Rockefeller Group in three months!” John Rockefeller shouted with a red face.

At this moment, Alex suddenly stopped walking and stood still.

“I suddenly remembered that someone falsely accused me of murder. Can this be considered a crime? Although I don’t have much of a reputation, I won’t stand being accused of killing my own grandfather! I want to get to the bottom of this. Who was the first person that claimed I committed murder on the internet? Come forward!” Alex shouted.

Suddenly, Spark Rockefeller’s face turned pale. His heart was about to leap out of his chest.

“I know, it’s Spark Rockefeller!” Waltz Fleur pointed at Spark and exclaimed.

“Arrest him. False accusations of murder is punishable with three to ten years of jail. You’re done for.” Tony Lee immediately gave the order.

Spark yelled loudly before falling to the ground.

He then pointed at Carol Rockefeller. “It’s her. She made me send it. I didn’t know. I really didn’t know what was going on. Dad, save me. I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to. ” Spark cried out.

Carol’s face turned pale and glared angrily at Spark Tony pointed at Carol Rockefeller. “Arrest her too.”

Anna Coleman nodded. “Everybody needs to pay for what they did. Hopefully, they will reflect on their mistakes in jail and change their ways.”

After saying that, Anna also left.

What remained was the scene of Spark and Carol crying out loudly.

***

Keith Yowell and Michelle Yowell ran after Alex.

Waltz ordered her subordinates to return to Thousand Miles.

Naturally, Charles Carter and Hailey Lawson also left in a haste.

After this whole ordeal, Bill Rockefeller’s memorial service ended in a very disorganized manner. Even those who went to pay their respects quickly came up with all sorts of reasons to leave.

“Mr. Rockefeller, I have to deal with some stuff in my company. Farewell!”

“Mr. Rockefeller, my wife is waiting for me to return to my mother-in-law’s place. Goodbye!”

Someone even had a completely bizarre excuse. “Ouch! I have a stomach ache. I have to go home to use the toilet.”

‘D*mn. Your house is so far away. Won’t you poop in your pants on the way home?’

“What do we do? What do we do? Spark can’t go to jail!”

“Carol has been arrested too. Spark is a b*stard. How dare he accuse my daughter? I won’t forgive him.”

It was a mess in Rockefeller Manor.

Everything that happened soon spread all over town. Somebody had even filmed the bold statement Brittany made and posted it online. In just one hour, the number of clicks on the link exceeded one million. And the number of clicks just kept increasing and the link ended up on the list of trending topics.

Back in the Assex family’s place.

After Claire Assex was slapped three times by a security guard and thrown out, she sprained her foot. Now, she sat on the couch while she applied medicinal oil on her bruise. Beatrice Assex, on the other hand, was bored. She was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly saw a message and she leaped out of her seat. “Mom, something major has happened,” Beatrice said.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 293

Claire Assex rolled her eyes. “What’s the big deal now? You’re only a student. Do you need to be concerned about national issues all day long? You might as well look after your mother whose foot is injured. Come over and help massage it for me. My hand hurts,” she said.

“I’m serious. It’s about Alex Rockefeller,” Beatrice Assex said.

Claire’s eyes immediately lit up. “Did they catch that traitor? Great. I’m all for it. Wait a second. Your sister hasn’t gotten a divorce with this piece of trash yet. Doesn’t that mean she will get affected as well? Is this jerk doing it on purpose? Will he only stop after he destroys Dorothy’s life?”

Beatrice shook her head when she saw how Claire was overreacting. “The traitor wasn’t caught, Spark Rockefeller was,” Beatrice said as she shook her head after being silent for a while.

“Who’s Spark Rockefeller? Wait, do you mean the young president of Rockefeller Group, my son-in-law, the Spark Rockefeller? What was he caught for?”

Beatrice was getting impatient with Claire. Spark and Dorothy weren’t even engaged, but Claire was already addressing Spark as her son-in-law.

If other people heard Madame Claire, it would be extremely humiliating.

Right then, someone called Beatrice on her phone. It was her good friend, Mona Weiss. “Beatrice, your brother-in-law is going to make his comeback. This time, it’s already trending all over California. The tables have turned,” Mona said excitedly as soon as the call was connected.

“What are you talking about?” Beatrice asked.

“Oh, I’m talking about your brother-in-law’s mother! Didn’t you know? Your brother-in-law’s mother, one of the original Rockefeller Group co-founders, Brittany Rockefeller caused a scene during the funeral service at the Rockefeller family’s place. She slapped one of the aunties and threatened to make Rockefeller Group go bankrupt within three months. It was epic.” Mona explained.

Beatrice was speechless.

“I’ll send you two video files. Have a look, she’s on fire. It’s so exciting. It’d be so cool to have a mother like her. Also, I heard that Michelle Yowell brought her grandfather to show support for Brittany Rockefeller too!” Mona added.

Lady Beatrice started watching the videos after she received it.

Soon, her eyes also lit up with admiration.

There wasn’t a college girl who wouldn’t fantasize about becoming a heroine and establishing a billion-dollar business to conquer the world.

One of the videos showed Brittany Rockefeller waving her hand and storming out of the Rockefeller family’s place.

“That’s all I’m giving you. From now on, there is nothing between us. I will make you bankrupt within three months,” Brittany said confidently and boldly.

Beatrice’s heart rate surged as she became infused with passion. Right then, she imagined herself as Brittany. What would Alex Rockefeller think if he knew that his sister-in-law was his mother’s fan despite how she had been treating him?

Claire moved closer to watch the videos.

After a while, she grunted. “This b*tch must think she’s in a dream. If she manages to make Rockefeller Group bankrupt in three months, I’ll eat my shoes,” Claire said.

“Perhaps she really can!” Beatrice exclaimed.

Claire showed an extremely disdainful expression. She was slapped and publicly humiliated by Brittany Rockefeller. Even now, the feeling of hatred was still gnawing at her. Naturally, she wouldn’t agree with Beatrice. “What do you mean? Do you think she’s God? This woman is just like her son. They’re both pieces of trash, and they’re only still alive because of our family!” Claire exclaimed.

“It’s such a shame. Although she’s a heroine, her son is a b*stard. If only Alex Rockefeller was half as bold as she was, I’d be happy to acknowledge him as my brother-in-law. Mom, don’t be jealous. If you were one tenth as capable as Brittany, we wouldn’t be bullied Grandma like this,” Beatrice said.

“Did you just say that I’m not even close to one-tenth as capable as Brittany? How did I end up giving birth to a nasty child like you?” Claire shouted angrily before grabbing the bottle of medicinal oil and hurling it at Beatrice.

The bottle struck Lady Beatrice against her fair forehead, leaving an open wound on her skin that started to bleed.

“Mom, are you really nuts? How could you hurl a bottle at me? Are you trying to kill me? Great, my face has been ruined. Are you happy now? There really is something wrong with you. So what if I said you’re not as capable as Brittany? Forget one-tenth of her, you don’t even deserve to be a servant in her house.” Beatrice yelled.

She then stormed upstairs and slammed her door shut with a loud bang.

Meanwhile…

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 294

After leaving Rockefeller Manor, Alex Rockefeller quickly went to search for Dorothy Assex.

That was because Hailey Lawson whispered in his ear that Dorothy went looking for him earlier. According to Hailey, Dorothy was very worried and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. In fact, she was in such a poor state that she nearly passed out. When Alex heard this, he wished he could be next to Dorothy right away.

After the conflict with the Assex family, Alex had gone through one thing after another. Throughout these ordeals, he was so preoccupied that he didn’t realize that his phone’s battery had run out and automatically turned off. Since Dorothy couldn’t contact him, she might have thought that he really did go on the run after committing murder. She must be worried sick. Alex borrowed Waltz Fleur’s cell phone and tried to call Dorothy.

It turned out that Dorothy’s phone was switched off.

“Mom, you should go back with Waltz first. I’m going to look for Dorothy,” Alex said hurriedly.

“Why are you looking for her again? Are you addicted to being abused? You still can’t let her go?” Brittany Rockefeller was very mad. Whenever she thought of how Claire Assex treated her son, she felt agitated.

“Dorothy has nothing to do with her mother. I’ve always thought of her mother as a mentally sick patient. There’s no reason to hold a grudge against a lunatic, right? Okay, I have to go,” Alex said.

Alex rushed into his car and drove away hastily. Very soon, he arrived at Assex Villa.

To his surprise, he witnessed Claire arguing with Beatrice Assex. This was unprecedented because these two had always agreed with each other. This time, however, they were quarreling more fiercely than ever. In fact, the neighbors next door had stopped outside to watch them fight.

Alex saw that Beatrice had a band-aid on her forehead. Clearly, she was wounded.

After listening to their argument for a while, he figured out what was going on. However, he couldn’t care less. “Where’s Dorothy?” Alex asked.

In the heat of the moment, Madame Claire directed all her anger at Alex when she saw him. “What are you doing in my house? Who let you in? Do you think this is your home? Get the hell out, or I’ll cut you into pieces with a kitchen knife for trespassing!” She yelled.

Alex ignored her. After shouting Dorothy’s name a few times and not receiving any response, he directly ran upstairs.

Beatrice was in a dilemma, unsure if she should say anything. In the end, she kept quiet.

Claire wanted to run after Alex, but her feet hurt whenever she walked. It was impossible for her to catch up with him. She was so angry that she started yelling for help, claiming there was a thief in the house. However, all the neighbors knew Alex was her son-in-law. Hence, they all just thought of it as an amusing joke.

After looking around, Alex still couldn’t find Dorothy. Alex ran down the stairs before fixing his cold gaze on Beatrice. “Where’s your sister?” He asked.

“Why should I tell you?” Beatrice snorted coldly.

Alex took a step toward her. His imposing manner was overwhelming.

Suddenly, he grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. “Your sister’s phone is switched off. Yesterday, she nearly fainted. One of you is her mother, and the other is her sister. But all the two of you do is live like parasites in the house and stir up nonsense all day long. I really wonder what you studied for. Did all the knowledge you acquired go to your ass?” Alex uttered.

Beatrice was stunned.

She never imagined Alex would dare to treat her like this.

However, she started to feel scared.

“She went to Assex Construction’s head office. I think she mentioned there was something she needed to sort out,” Beatrice said.

Alex froze for a second. He had a bad feeling about this. Why would Dorothy switch her phone off if she was visiting Assex Construction’s head office?

Alex let go of Beatrice and immediately got into his car before driving to Assex Construction.

Meanwhile, Dorothy was in a room on the top floor of Assex Construction. Anderson Assex and Emma Assex stood in front of her. There was also a used syringe on the floor.

Dorothy took several steps backward. Her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely. She held her arm as fear filled her eyes. “Emma, Uncle, what are you doing? What did you inject into my body just now?”

Dorothy was overwhelmed with shock and fear.

Just a while ago, Emma had held her down while Anderson used a syringe to inject an unknown liquid into her body.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 295

Soon, Dorothy Assex started to feel drowsy and lose consciousness.

“You people… You’re vile!” Dorothy yelled.

Emma Assex laughed loudly and approached Dorothy to slap her on the face. “Vile? Dorothy Assex, you’re a married woman who climbed into Charles Carter’s bed and got him to help you steal Assex Construction’s subsidiary company from us. Who’s the vile one, I wonder?” Emma uttered.

“What’s even more ridiculous is that your murderer of a husband who, despite knowing that you cheated on him, is still willing to work like a cow for your sake.”

“I’ve said it before. What’s the use of being a good fighter? Can martial arts beat a gun? Now that he’s killed his own grandfather, he’ll be punished with a bullet to his head!” Emma added.

Apparently, Emma and Anderson Assex, who both concentrated their efforts on Dorothy, had yet to find out what had happened at the Rockefeller family’s funeral service. But it was expected since it happened not too long ago. When Emma finished speaking, she slapped Dorothy a few more times on her face.

Dorothy’s face started to swell. However, it also made her slightly more conscious.

“Your husband knocked several of my teeth off. I’m going to exact revenge on you instead. I won’t consider myself a member of the Assex family unless I knock off three of your teeth,” Emma said viciously.

Frantically, Dorothy rapped on the door while she shouted for help.

But nearly half the strength in her body was gone, and she could barely stand.

Anders on spoke up. “Emma, we’ll deal with her later. Let her finish signing the contract first.”

Emma nodded. “Dad, you’re right. There will be plenty of time to torture her later.”

Anderson immediately brought a contract that he had prepared and handed a pen to Dorothy. “Sign this contract. After that, you’ll be free to go.”

“What is this?” Dorothy asked.

“The transfer contract for Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company. It was originally owned by the Assex family anyway so you can’t take it away.”

“What? I won’t sign it! ”

“You will sign it soon enough. Don’t you want to know what we just injected into your body? I’ll tell you. It’s the newly invented Obedience Reagent.”

Dorothy began to see overlapping images in front of her, and her vision started to turn blurry.

Emma grabbed her hand before whispering something into her ears. Within two minutes, she convinced Dorothy to sign the contract.

“From now on, Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company belongs to me. With the global contract from Thousand Leaves Construction, I’m confident Assex Construction can make it into the top 100 companies in the country and eventually establish itself internationally,” Emma said.

As Emma started to fantasize about the future, there was a loud bang on the door. It was forcefully kicked open from the outside.

Alex Rockefeller charged in like a demon with a murderous aura.

Seeing his wife shriveled on the ground unconscious and her face swollen like a pig’s, Alex’s eyes turned cold. It seemed as if nothing could calm his rage.

“Emma Assex, Anderson Assex, the two of you must have a death wish!” Alex shouted.

When Emma saw Alex staring at her, she suddenly felt her heart hammering while a chill ran down her spine. It was as if she was a prey being cornered by her predator.

Anderson felt nearly the same way. He was already afraid of Alex after getting beaten up from before. Now, his entire body turned cold when he saw Alex. “Alex Rockefeller, how dare you come to this place? You’re a murderer,” Anderson said nervously.

Meanwhile, there were noisy footsteps and sounds of people yelling outside the door.

Since Alex forced his way in, the security guards ran after him. However, none of them were as fast as he was. Only when Alex finally found Dorothy did these security guards manage to catch up. However, they were all out of breath.

When Emma saw the security guards arrive, she felt more confident.

“Hurry up and seize him. He’s a murderer.” Emma pointed at Alex and shouted.

The two security guards in the front shouted and charged at Alex.

In the end, the two of them fell to the ground with two loud thuds. They didn’t even have a chance to react. Two seconds later, two other security guards charged forward.

This time, Alex didn’t even move. As soon as the two of them swung their bats at Alex’s back, the impact was reversed by his Chi energy. The bats ended up flinging against their own heads, and both the security guards passed out immediately.

“Wh-What’s going on? That’s way too creepy!”

The three remaining security guards were all too afraid to make a move.

Emma’s heart was racing, but she knew she needed to save herself now. In her eyes, Alex was a murderer on the run, and he probably wouldn’t mind killing more people after he had already committed murder once. However, Emma didn’t want to die.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 296

“Go on. Attack him together. If you manage to take him down, I’ll reward each of you with a million dollars.”

“Whoever knocks him out will receive another five million dollars,” Emma Assex said.

With the great incentives offered, the security guards became bolder. They probably wouldn’t even be able to earn a million dollars in ten years.

“Let’s go!” The three security guards all went crazy and charged at Alex Rockefeller with bloodshot eyes. However, none of them knew who they were going up against.

“Ahh!”

The three of them cried out miserably before instantly falling to the ground.

Alex kneeled down and picked up Dorothy Assex whose consciousness was still a little blurry. In fact, she was still giggling like an idiot.

“What did you inject into her?” Alex asked in a murderous tone.

Anderson Assex gulped and quietly circled around to the side with the intention of escaping.

Alex Rockefeller kicked Anderson directly, sending him flying up to the ceiling. After colliding against the ceiling, Anderson fell to the ground and spurted a mouthful of blood.

“Dorothy!” Alex called out.

To be honest, Alex could tell Dorothy had been affected by a hallucinogenic type of drug even if they didn’t say anything. She appeared to be in a state of hypnosis. This kind of drug was extremely harmful to the body. In serious cases, it might even cause permanent damage to the brain.

Without further delay, Alex immediately channeled his Chi energy to get rid of the drug in Dorothy’s body. Right then, Emma quietly reached for a letter opener from the desk and attempted to stab Alex in his neck while his head was lowered.

Alex didn’t even look up as he slammed her to the ground. He grabbed the letter opener with one hand and stabbed it into Emma’s palm.

“Ahh!” Lady Emma cried out painfully. Her voice resonated throughout the office. The letter opener pierced through her palm and straight into the floor.

Two minutes later, Dorothy gradually came to her senses.

When she saw Alex, she thought she was dreaming. “Honey, I dreamed of you again. Where are you?” She held his face and asked.

In that instant, Alex’s eyes started to well up with tears. How could he divorce a wife like her?

“It’s me. I’m here. I’m sorry I was late!” Alex uttered.

Dorothy finally realized it wasn’t in a dream, and Alex wasn’t a hallucination caused by the drugs. He really was there. After that, she was shocked to see several security guards fallen around her, as well as Emma, who was crying in pain as her hand had been pinned to the ground by a letter opener.

However, the first thing Dorothy said was, “I read on the internet that you killed your grandfather. Is that true? What happened?” Dorothy asked.

“Don’t worry! That’s just a rumor! How could I kill someone? Aren’t you silly?” Alex said.

He gently rubbed her face, channeling his Chi energy to soothe the redness on her swollen face.

It was an oddly heart-warming scene, as Emma cried painfully in the background.

“I… I don’t want to get a divorce. I don’t want it,” Dorothy broke down in tears.

Even when she was drugged and beaten up earlier, she didn’t cry. But she was in tears at the thought of getting a divorce.

Alex kissed her tear-streaked cheeks. “Don’t worry. We’re not getting a divorce. Even if I have to put up with your mom’s difficult personality for the rest of my life, I won’t divorce you.”

“Okay!”

After a while, Dorothy became a little shy. “I want to go to the toilet, but I… I don’t have the strength.”

“I’ll carry you,” Alex said.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 297

Why was Dorothy Assex suddenly desperate to go to the bathroom?

Well, it was because Alex Rockefeller used his Chi that had healing properties to force the drug out of her body through urination. Thus, his treatment effectively stimulated her need to use the bathroom.

Alex picked her up and walked out the office.

When Anderson Assex saw them leaving, he immediately crawled over to pick up the signed contract. He wanted to hide it. As long as he acquired the contract, it would be worth it even if he was beaten up today.

However, just as he withdrew his hand, a pair of legs appeared in front of him.

When Anderson looked up, he saw Alex holding Dorothy in his arms. Alex actually came back.

“Ahh! ” Anderson cried out in shock. His face turned blue. In the next second, Alex directly raised his foot and stepped on Anderson’s arm.

“Crack…”

Anderson’s arm was fractured.

With a cold expression on his face, Alex grabbed the contract and stuffed it into his pocket before leaving.

“Hurry up, honey… I… I can’t hold it in any longer,” Dorothy said. Her face was turning red, and she sounded as if she was going to cry.

Alex carried her and ran quickly to the bathroom.

“Ahh! Why are you going into the men’s room, I… I’m a woman,” Dorothy said.

“It’s the same inside the cubicle anyway,” Alex said.

At this point, Dorothy didn’t have a choice. She had to make do.

However, as soon as Alex let go of her, her knees went weak and she nearly fell into the toilet. She screamed in shock

Alex was equally surprised.

If Dorothy really fell into the toilet, it would be extremely disgusting. She might have a mental scar for the rest of her life.

“Let me help you!” Alex exclaimed.

“In that case… Close your eyes,” Dorothy said.

“How can I help you if I can’t see? We’re legally married. What’s the issue? Come on, hold onto me, and don’t you move. Once you get old and become paralyzed, I’ll have to wipe your body and ass anyway!” Alex said.

“Eww! What are you saying?” Dorothy exclaimed.

“Oh, my bad. I’m being childish. Don’t mind me,” “You’re a married adult. How could you be this childish?”

“But I’m still a virgin! I need your help with that, don’t I?”

The two kept themselves busy in the cubicle for a while. Finally, they successfully solved the problem.

After they came out from the cubicle, Dorothy began to feel a little concerned. “You hurt Emma, and you even crushed Uncle Anderson’s hand. If they call the cops, you’ll definitely be in trouble.”

Alex snorted coldly. “Would they have the guts to call the police? They held you against your will and forcibly injected you with hallucinogenic drugs to get you to sign a transfer contract. Each of these crimes would be enough to send them to jail for a few years.”

After Dorothy washed her hands, Alex picked her up like a princess again. He walked directly out of the toilet.

“I… I feel strength returning. I should be fine walking on my own now,” Dorothy said softly.

Alex shook his head. “No, you don’t have enough strength. It’s safer for me to hold you like this.”

Dorothy’s eyelashes fluttered. She felt unusually safe with his dominant tenderness.

“Oh, my phone is still inside the room. They took it away,” Dorothy said.

“Got it!” Alex exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Anderson and Emma were still crying out in pain inside the room. Emma, especially, felt a great amount of pain whenever she tried to move. She still couldn’t pull the letter opener out of her palm. It hurt to even look at it.

When Emma saw Alex walking through the door again, her eyes filled with fear. But more than that, she felt a strong sense of hatred. She secretly swore that, as long as she hadn’t died, she would make sure this couple suffered greatly.

Alex seemed to be able to read her mind. Sensing her hateful gaze, he stepped on the letter opener’s handle after retrieving Dorothy’s phone.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 298

The letter opener sank further down by three inches. It was completely rooted into the ground.

Blood splattered in all directions.

Emma Assex let out a hysterical scream.

The eyes of the few conscious security guards quivered. They felt chills run down their spines as they looked at Alex Rockefeller like he’s a demon from hell.

“Emma Assex, I know you are unwilling to concede and still want revenge, but this is my final warning. Don’t let me see you bullying my family again. If there’s a next time, you’ll be dead even if you belong to the Assex family,” Alex said.

After saying this, Alex picked up Dorothy Assex and left.

Several security guards tried to stop them on their way out. Many employees heard the commotion and gathered around to watch.

“Get out of my way! ” Alex shouted. His Chi energy vibrated in everyone’s ears. All of their minds went blank.

Just like that, Alex walked out of the office building.

Over ten minutes later, Madame Joanne and Benny Assex from the Assex family found out what had happened and quickly made their way over.

Madame Joanne nearly fainted when she saw the mess in the office.

“Did Alex do this?”

“How dare he? Just how dare he?”

“Didn’t he kill someone? Why hasn’t he been arrested yet?”

Right then, an ambulance finally arrived. However, the doctor shook his head when he ran over. “I’m sorry. I can’ t help you with this. You’ll need to get the firemen,” he said.

“I’m in great pain!” Lady Emma cried out while tears and snot streamed down her face.

After having a meal outside, Alex brought Dorothy back to Assex Villa.

When Claire Assex saw them, she immediately hopped over. “Dorothy, you’re back. Did you file for a divorce? Have you two officially divorced now? ” Claire asked.

“Rockefeller, you piece of trash. You can get your ass out of here now. From now on, you will go your own way, and we will walk down our glorious path. Get lost!” She added.

Dorothy felt very sad for Alex.

If she were him, she wouldn’t have been able to stand a mother-in-law like Claire. She would’ve filed for divorce by now.

Dorothy couldn’t bear thinking how Alex had tolerated Claire for so long.

“No,” Dorothy said with a huff. She looked very exhausted, both physically and mentally.

“What? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for old age? Did this traitor ask for anything? Does he want a part of your assets? No way. This piece of trash hasn’t earned a single dollar. In fact, because of his mother, we’ve had to spend so much money this year. He’s not going to get a single cent…” Claire said.

‘This constant nagging!’ Alex thought while he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was a cold look in his eyes.

Wham!

Alex slapped Claire across the face.

She was immediately stunned.

Even Dorothy was dumbfounded. Although she wanted to say something, she pretended not to have seen anything in the end.

After a few seconds, Claire started shouting. “How… How dare you hit me? You actually hit me! I’m your mother-in-law! Dorothy, look. What kind of a man is he? He actually hit your mother. How can you get married to a man like this? Divorce! I demand a divorce!”

“How are you a normal woman? You look like a psychopath. If you keep yammering, I’ll beat you up. Got it?” Alex uttered coldly.

“You b*stard! Dorothy, are you just going to watch him beat me? Do you even think of me as your mother? Fine. I’m disowning you as my daughter.” Claire yelled.

Wham!

Alex slapped Claire again.

This time, she fell onto the couch.

“Disowning her? Great. After you disown her, I’d like to see how you’ll survive. Do you know that Dorothy was nearly killed just now? Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company was nearly taken away. Can’t you see that her face is all swollen? Are you blind? It’s a misfortune for her to have a mother like you,” Alex said.

“Who? Who wanted to take the company away?” Claire was stunned for a moment.

She was actually more worried about this than her daughter’s life.

Dorothy felt sad. “Honey, let’s go upstairs.”

Suddenly, a group of people charged into the villa. Madame Joanne walked ahead of the group. “Alex Rockefeller, Dorothy Assex, you’re finished!” She shouted.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 299

When Alex Rockefeller saw Madame Joanne, Benny Assex, and a group of bodyguards and security guards charging in, he narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a coldness in his gaze.

When they had returned earlier, Alex had already talked to Dorothy about this.

Anderson Assex and Emma Assex dared to drug Dorothy to force her to sign the company transfer contract all because they had the support of Madame Joanne from the Assex family. Otherwise, Anderson and his daughter definitely wouldn’t have the guts to do so.

Madame Joanne was a merciless woman who did terrible things all the time.

“Mother, why are you here? And what’s with all these people?” Claire Assex immediately approached them fearfully.

She ended up getting slapped by Madame Joanne.

“Get out of the way!” Madame Joanne shouted.

Claire felt bitter on the inside.

A few days ago, she was slapped by Brittany Rockefeller. Just a while ago, she was slapped by Alex. Now, she was being slapped by Madame Joanne. Her face was in a terrible state. However, Madame Joanne was a formidable figure to her. Hence, she had to endure it and not say a thing.

“Why don’t you ask your daughter and son-in-law what they did? Alex crushed Anderson’s hand completely. Anderson might not be able to use it for the rest of his life. As for Emma, Alex actually pinned her hand to the ground with a knife. Is that something a normal human would do? Think about it.” Madame Joanne slapped Claire again.

Dissatisfied, Madame Joanne wanted to continue.

This time, Alex grabbed her hand. “Madame Joanne, that’s enough. Don’t act like this just because you’re older. I’m sure you know exactly what happened with Anderson Assex and Emma Assex. Stop challenging my limits. You’re quite old already. Stop humiliating yourself.”

“Let go of me. You would hit me?” Madame Joanne shouted angrily.

“If you keep doing evil things, why shouldn’t I hit you?” Alex scoffed softly.

“Alex Rockefeller, how dare yo u? Don’t you know how to respect your elders?” Benny yelled.

“That’s funny. Her greatest wish is to kill off our family members. Why should I respect her?” Alex said as he let go of Madame Joanne.

“You’ve severely injured Anderson and Emma. You’re going to be put in jail. The people who are going to do that will arrive very soon,” Madame Joanne said fiercely.

“Is that so? Alright I’ll wait,” Alex said.

Claire finally realized how serious things were. She quickly asked Dorothy what was going on, but Dorothy was too disappointed with her mother to say anything.

Within ten minutes, the people who came to arrest Alex were here.

When Alex saw the leader of the group, he couldn’t help but think how small the world was. That was because the person was Tony Lee, the man who went to Rockefeller’s place previously. Tony was also stunned speechless for a moment when he saw Alex because he just found out from Anna Coleman that Alex was also part of Divine Constabulary.

He had no right to interfere with the works of people from Divine Constabulary!

“Mr. Lee, this b*stard injured my son and granddaughter. They’re both severely harmed. Hurry, arrest him, and put him in jail. I want him to stay in there forever.” Madame Joanne shouted excitedly.

Tony seemed embarrassed. He gave Alex a look. ‘What’s going on?’

“I suspect Madame Joanne and this man over here, who is Assex Construction’s CEO, ordered people to hold my wife hostage. They even forcefully injected hallucinogenic substances into my wife’s body to force her to sign a company transfer contract,” Alex said.

“What? I can’t believe that actually happened,” Tony said.

“I didn’t think so either. We have proof of what happened too,” Alex said before retrieving a recording device.

Dorothy had passed this to him earlier. Apparently, when Dorothy arrived at Assex Construction’s office, she already sensed something wasn’t quite right. Hence, she secretly activated the recording device and kept it somewhere hidden on herself. Now, it indeed came in handy.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 300

“Arrest them both.” Tony Lee immediately ordered. Wasn’t this similar to what happened this morning when Spark Rockefeller and Carol Rockefeller were arrested?

Tony was very surprised.

Why were there so many fools causing trouble for Alex Rockefeller, who was a part of Divine Constabulary? Wouldn’t it be suicidal to do so?

Madame Joanne and Benny Assex were both stunned. How could this be? This was completely different from what they had expected.

“Mr. Lee, he was the one who injured my son and granddaughter. Why are you arresting us instead of him?” Madame Joanne cried out She had done many things in her life, but she had never gone to jail before.

Did she have to experience what it was like to live in jail at such an old age?

It would be a lifetime of shame.

Tony didn’t seem bothered. “You heard the recording just now. There’s nothing left to say. Even if Mr. Rockefeller injured Anderson and Emma, it was out of self-defense. He will not be held accountable at all.

“Take them away!” Tony continued.

“Ahh!” Madame Joanne shouted.

“No, no. You can’t arrest me. I wasn’t behind this. If you must arrest anyone, it should be Anderson and Emma. None of this has anything to do with me. I can’t go to jail! Claire, Dorothy, speak tip! Do you really want me to go to jail and embarrass the entire Assex family?” She yelled.

In the end, Dorothy Assex couldn’t find it in herself to be cruel. She gave Alex a look.

Alex waved his hand. “Fine. I did suspect they were the culprits.”

“Well then… Should we arrest Anderson and Emma?” Tony asked.

“Forget it. They’ve already received the punishment they deserved.” Alex waved his hand again.

After that, Tony and his team left.

Madame Joanne and Benny sighed in relief. However, they didn’t notice one particular detail. Tony was very respectful toward Alex. In fact, it. seemed almost as if he would do anything to please Alex.

Tony let Alex decide whether he should arrest other people.

After Tony and his team had left, Madame Joanne began acting arrogantly again. “We won’t let this slide. Just you wait. We’ll make your family bankrupt, and you’ll live as beggars on the streets!”

However, right then, a black car stopped in front of the villa. Charles Carter got out of it and walked into the villa.

“Mr. Carter? Why are you here?” Benny quickly greeted him.

Madame Joanne smiled at him as well.

But Charles ignored them. He walked right up to Alex and Dorothy. “Hey, are you two alright? Alex, I’ve already found out what happened. The Assex family really are a bunch of turds.”

Alex was surprised. “Brother-in-law, how did you find out so quickly?”

Since Hailey Lawson forced Alex to be her adoptive brother, and Alex couldn’t say no, he acknowledged Charles as his brother-in-law.

“One of my staff was running an errand in Assex Construction’s office. He happened to have witnessed what happened and called me on the phone to tell me about it. That’s why I immediately rushed here.” Charles explained.

“You’re too kind!” Alex exclaimed.

“Don’t mention it. We’re family, after all.”

When Benny and Madame Joanne overheard their conversation, they suddenly felt as if their world was spinning. Their hearts were about to leap out of their chest, and had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

Indeed, Charles approached the two of them and started speaking coldly. “From today on, Waylon Realty will cancel all collaborations with Assex Construction. In the future, material supplies from Waylon Realty will only go to Dorothy’s company. Alex, Dorothy, I heard that you changed your company name. Let’s sign a new contract!”
