Ch. 381..390

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 381

As huge fans of Daya, these people knew Daya even better than paparazzi did.

They could tell from the way she walked, the tone of her voice, and even a single gaze if it was really her in the flesh.

Hence, when Daya walked past earlier, the four of them knew without a doubt that this lady in a face mask with her hair tied into a bun was their idol, Daya. When they were sure that the person in the driver’s seat was Alex Rockefeller, they were shocked.

Especially Beatrice Assex, who looked as if she’d seen a ghost or struck by lightning.

“How… How could he be Mask?” Beatrice asked.

“No, it’s absolutely impossible. There must be a mistake. He can’t be Mask!” Beatrice’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Alex, who was now talking and laughing with Daya. She really couldn’t picture this man being the useless brother-in-law she knew.

“How else would you explain the fact that he’s with Daya? Could your brother-in-law have successfully wooed Daya?” asked Mona Weiss.

This sounded even more ridiculous.

“Beatrice, you actually fell in love with your brother-in-law. Would your sister kill you if she found out?” asked one of the guys in the group with a chuckle.

“It can’t be. It can’t be. Mask is an amazing person. Didn’t you guys see him in the video? I personally witnessed it that night. Mask killed one person with every step he took, and be rescued me. How could Alex, that useless guy, be this strong? If he was this powerful, why would he let me yell at him all day. Why would he be submissive to my mother?” Beatrice cried out.

“This fellow has earned a lot of money recently. I bet he spent it all to buy a luxury car just to woo Daya,” Beatrice added.

Mona was equally surprised. “Let’s follow them and see,” she said.

Soon, they followed Alex’s Aston Martin to a restaurant not too far away. When they looked up, they saw that it was PhoenixRestaurant.

“It’s Phoenix Restaurant, one of the top five fine dining restaurants in California. A glass of water would cost a few hundred dollars in this restaurant,” Mona said, staggered.

Beatrice gritted her teeth. “This jerk. To impress Daya, not only did he buy a luxury car, but he even took her to a place like this. Yet, he wouldn’t even give my mother a single cent. Did you guys know? He stayed in my house for half a year, but has never even bought an apple for us. All he gave my mother on her birthday was a broken pair of shoes.”

“Wow… your broth er-in-law really is…quite stingy.”

“It’s really strange. Why would your sister marry someone like him? Now, he’s even trying to woo a beautiful goddess. What gave him the guts to do so?”

Beatrice’s friends started to talk.

Mona, on the other hand, frowned a little. “Beatrice, don’t you find it odd? You know Daya very well, don’t you? When has she ever had a meal with a man on her own? This is the first time something ridiculous like this has happened. Your brother-in-law might really have an unusual relationship with her. I, for one, suspect that he is the guy you’ve been thinking about all day long, Mask. That’s because Mask just saved Daya’s life.”

Beatrice immediately looked dumbfounded.

“Quickly, let’s go inside. We’ll lose them soon if we don’t!”

After entering the restaurant, they happened to see Alex and Daya walking into a room.

The few of them quickly followed Alex and Daya, hoping to eavesdrop outside the door. Right then, the door was suddenly pulled open forcefully.

They all fell inward because it happened too quickly. The person who opened the door was Alex himself.

On his way here, Alex could already sense that he was being followed. Originally, he thought it might have been an assassin or someone like that. He didn’t think it would be his sister-in-law, Beatrice. He stared coldly at Beatrice as she helped herself up.

“Why are you following me?” Alex asked.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 382

Beatrice Assex was caught off guard, especially with her favorite idol so nearby. For a while, she couldn’t say anything. Daya recognized Beatrice right away. After all, what happened that night was still fresh in her mind.

“She just wants to know if you are Mask!” Mona Weiss said directly.

As for the other two men, they could manage nothing else but to stare at Daya in awe from the moment they saw her.

“Are you guys out of your minds?” Alex Rockefeller’s facial expression was cold. “Beatrice, why are you looking for Mask, who might not even be who you think he is? Do you really want to get married to him?”

Beatrice blushed. “No, that’s not it. I just… I just wanted to thank him in person for saving my life.”

“Well, you ve got the wrong person. I’m not the Mask you’re looking for,” Alex said.

Beatrice finally returned to normal. “Of course, I know you’re not Mask. If you were him, I’d jump down from this place.” she grunted.

Alex was speechless. He looked out the window. They were on the seventh floor. If Beatrice jumped down, she’d be dead.

Beatrice then turned to look at Daya. Her facial expression immediately changed, and she acted as sweet as she could be. “Daya, I’m your fan, one of the three lucky fans from before. My name is Beatrice.”

Daya looked at Alex before she nodded. “Yeah, I know. I remember you.”

“I’m really glad to see you safe and sound. I… I wanted to ask. Who is the masked bodyguard who saved me? Can I meet him? Perhaps, you could give me his number. I want to thank him in person,” Lady Beatrice said.

Daya saw Rockefeller gently shaking his head.

“I’m truly sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that for you. That bodyguard’s status is rather unique. He’s someone from the American government, and his identity cannot be revealed. I’m bound by the principle of secrecy! However, if I get the chance, I’ll express your gratitude to him on your behalf,” Daya said.

Beatrice seemed disappointed after hearing that.

Mona immediately started laughing. “Beatrice, thank goodness Mask isn’t your brother-in-law. Otherwise, you’d be done for. Things could get messy if you actually fell in love with your brother-in-law.”

When Daya heard this, her delicate body suddenly shivered as a realization hit her.

“Him? Hmph! I never even doubted it!” Beatrice glared at Alex briefly before turning to face Daya. “Daya, this fellow has been married a long time ago. He’s my brother-in-law. In fact, he doesn’t even have any accomplishments. He lived in my house for ten months, doing nothing but babysitting. If he tries to woo you, please don’t believe whatever he tells you.”

Daya’s mouth fell wide open, astonished.

“Alright, alright. That’s enough, Beatrice. You can leave now! Stop delaying us from ordering our food!” Alex said annoyedly.

“I can’t believe you’re thick skinned enough to continue with your meal! Don’t you have any self-awareness at all? Daya is a national goddess. She’s a huge celebrity worth at least a billion dollars. You just extorted twenty million dollars from someone else, and you’re already buying luxury cars and having meals at a fine dining restaurant. Most importantly, Daya doesn’t even have eyes for you. You’re a married man. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Beatrice reprimanded Alex impolitely.

Alex felt helpless, he was afraid that she might spew nonsense later. “You’re misunderstanding the situation. I don’t intend to woo her,” he said.

“Then what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you have business to discuss here. Can you not be so shameless?” Beatrice uttered.

Alex shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to explain further.

Besides, in the eyes of Beatrice and Claire Assex, he would always be a loser even if he had the world under his feet.

Daya couldn’t stand listening to this anymore. “Miss Beatrice, I hope you pay a little attention to the words you speak Alex is a very good friend of mine, and he’s not as bad as you say he is. If there’s nothing else for you to do here, please leave and not disturb our meal any further,” she stood up and said.

What?

Beatrice was immediately shocked when she heard this. Was Alex actually Daya’s good friend?

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 383

Beatrice Assex, Mona Weiss and their friends looked at each other. In the end, they had no choice but to leave with a sad look on their faces.

They didn’t even dare to ask for their idol’s autograph like how fans normally would when they bumped into idols.

“Wait a second!” Daya suddenly called out to them. Daya was looking at Beatrice.

“Daya, what is it?” Beatrice asked worriedly.

“Miss Beatrice, I’m glad you became my fan, but more than that, I hope you can treat life well and treat the people around you better, especially your family. Although Alex is your brother-in-law, I don’t see you treating him like a family member at all, like how you should. Do you really think a stranger like me is more important than him?”

“The masked bodyguard was willing to save you because that’s his character trait. If he found out that you’re a person who treated your family this badly, I think he would be upset. Well, this is my honest advice for you. Goodbye!” Daya said.

Beatrice left, unbearably upset.

Right then, Cheryl Coney and Miranda Finn also arrived.

They walked past Lady Beatrice and her friends.

Beatrice jerked her head around and happened to see Cheryl and Miranda walking into the room Alex and Daya were in.

“It’s her!” Beatrice exclaimed. Her facial expression turned gloomy. She was even more upset now.

“Who was that? Do you know her?” Mona asked.

“I finally get it now. I know how Alex got to know Daya.” Beatrice seemed as if she figured out an important detail. “The lady in yellow who entered the room just now is a doctor from Premier Hospital. She is the granddaughter of California’s legendary doctor, James Coney. Alex, the traitor, had already developed a relationship with her. He must have gotten to know Daya through that female doctor. In the end, he’s just someone who depends on women.”

“If your sister knows what kind of a man he is, why hasn’t she divorced him?”

“Who knows? There’s probably something wrong with her brain!”

The group of people left.

After finding out that Mask was someone from the government, whose identity was bound by the principle of secrecy, Beatrice’s feelings for him only became even more irrevocable. She began to imagine Mask as a hero who protected his country, a military god during battles. She fantasized about the day he would come to her in a shining armor after defeating his enemies in a flame-filled battle. When the time came, he would make her his wife and treat her with love and affection.

Beatrice was so lost in thought that she walked right into a door, knocking her head against it.

“Hey, Beatrice. What are you thinking? Are you fantasizing about stuff again? Are you actually still thinking about Mask?”

“I… Ouch, it hurts!”

Meanwhile, in the room, Daya looked at Alex with an odd expression. “So, you’re actually married. Was that your sister-in-law? Are you worried that she might fall in love with you if she finds out that you are Mask?”

“I didn’t think you like to gossip so much too,” Alex said.

“Don’t you know that all women like gossiping?” Daya said.

When they walked in, Cheryl and Miranda were surprised by the conversation between Alex and Daya.

Daya explained what had happened earlier and how she hid the fact that Alex was Mask.

“Alex is the perfect lover. It’s a classic case of how a man would always treat his wife like his first love no matter how badly she abuses him,” Cheryl complained.

Alex felt a little awkward. “Alright, stop talking about me. Let’s order!”

Originally, Miranda was here to expose Alex for being a fraud. However, experiencing it personally, coupled with Alex’s relationship with Daya, she was finally becoming more accepting of traditional medicine.

After eating a bit of food, Miranda started speaking in very fluent English. “I just found out that there are four aspects of traditional medicine, sight, smell, the patient’s feelings, and the patient’s pulse. Instead of machines, all you need is to check the patient’s pulse. So, does that mean you can diagnose a patient just like that?”

Alex nodded when he saw Miranda turning on a recording device. “Yes, that is indeed the case. ”

“In that case, Mr. Rockefeller, can you check my pulse?” Miranda asked.

Alex wanted to say he could tell she wasn’t sick with a single glance… But knowing how traditional medicine was currently perceived, he nodded. “Not a problem.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 384

Soon, Alex Rockefeller touched Miranda Finn’s wrist. Originally, he was just putting up an act. But when he touched her, he really did detect something strange.

“How did it go? Did you find out anything?” Miranda asked.

“Are you sure you want me to say it?” Alex asked strangely.

Daya thought Alex’s response was rather odd. “Why would you refrain from telling her about her medical condition?”

Miranda seemed nonchalant about it as well.

“Your gut isn’t in good condition. You have gastritis,” Alex said.

“Oh. that’s right. But many people are affected by this ailment too,” Miranda said while waving her hand.

“But you had too much seafood last night. After eating around seven crabs and more than three cones of ice-cream, your gastritis has worsened,” Alex said bluntly.

“Oh my god! Were you actually at Sia Buffet Restaurant too?” Miranda’s eyes were wide open.

“Of course not! Apart from that, you also have a bit of liver cyst. You suffered from Hepatitis A when you were a kid, and you only recovered at the age of seven,” Alex said.

Miranda was shocked again. “Did you read up on my file?”

“You…” Alex said.

He wanted to continue speaking, but the next question he wanted to ask was too personal. Hence, he moved closer to Miranda and whispered into her ears.

Suddenly, Miranda’s face turned red all over, and she avoided Alex’s gaze. Her facial expression was no longer as nonchalant as before. Alex mentioned something of utmost privacy to her. In fact, she thought that nobody would know about this.

However, Alex was able to accurately diagnose it.

It turned out that her body was more easily aroused than other people. Every night, she would… Otherwise, it was hard for her to fall asleep.

“This condition has already negatively affected your body,” Alex said.

“Is there a way to cure it?” Miranda asked.

“Yes,” Alex said.

“That’s great!” Miranda smiled.

“Now I truly believe that America’s alternative medicine is amazing. I’ve learned a huge lesson today. Once I return, I’ll write a detailed article about this. But, on one condition, you must cure me of my illness,” she added.

“That won’t be a problem. I’ll head back to get prepared. I’ll be able cure you of your illness tomorrow.”

“Thank you, dear Alex.”

“Aren’t you going to call him ‘Daddy’ anymore?” Daya laughed.

“Oh, that was just a one time thing I swore to do. But if you like that, Alex, I could keep calling you Daddy.”

“No, thanks,” Alex said.

He would be crazy to want to be called Daddy by a foreign woman.

Right then, the room opened. A middle-aged man dressed in a suit walked in with a bottle of red wine. “It’s a great honor to have you here, Miss Daya. I am the manager of Phoenix Restaurant, Leo Adams. I would like to present you with a bottle of 1982’s Lafite. Please accept this gift,” he said to Daya.

After that, he turned to look at Cheryl Coney and Miranda. They were both very beautiful women.

His smile widened.

Daya chuckled helplessly. “Mr. Adams, you’re too kind. This bottle of wine is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Leo laughed. “Actually, this is a gift from Mr. Accardo who is having his meal next door. Mr. Accardo found out that Miss Daya is here, and he has specially invited you to join him for a while. Your two pretty friends can go over too.”

Daya frowned a little. of course, she didn’t want to go.

Alex felt impatient. “Mr. Adams, leave with your wine. We don’t know who Mr. Accardo is!”

Leo chuckled coldly as he glared at Alex. “Young man, be careful with your words. Mr. Accardo is the son of Valtameri Co.’s boss, Frank Accardo,” he warned.

When Alex heard Frank’s name, his eyes flashed. “Ask him to get lost!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 385

Leo Adams’ cold gaze remained on Alex. “Young man, you have no idea who you’re talking about. Do you know what will happen to you if you disrespect Mr. Accardo?”

Everyone was getting angry.

What kind of restaurant manager was this? What was he playing at?

Was he pandering to someone else?

“Mr. Adams, we’re customers who are here to eat in your restaurant. Don’t you think a request like this is too much?” Daya asked coldly.

Leo chuckled. “Miss Daya, although you’re a huge celebrity, that’s all you are in the end. To put in a less pleasant way, you’re an entertainer. I’m doing this with good intentions. If you upset Mr. Accardo, your artistic career might end prematurely.”

Wham!

Just as Leo finished speaking, he was slapped across the face.

It was Alex who did it.

However, Alex moved so quickly that he was able to sit down right after slapping Leo.

Leo, whose face had become swollen on one side, couldn’t even clearly see who slapped him.

However, he figured it was probably Alex.

“You piece of sh*t. How dare you hit me?” Leo covered his face with one hand as he glared angrily at Alex.

“What’s the matter? Do you think you’re in a dream?”

Alex stood up this time. He was several inches taller than Leo, looking down at him coldly.

In the next second, he slapped Leo again.

Wham!

The other side of Leo’s face was also swollen now, he was even bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

“Do you believe this is the real world now?” Alex asked.

Leo’s eyes turned red. He nearly yelled to summon the restaurant’s bodyguards. However, he realized he was here to do Mr. Accardo’s bidding. With Mr. Accardo around, he had no need for the restaurant’s bodyguards. Mr. Accardo would definitely be able to beat Alex up better than them anyway.

“Very well!” Leo said coldly. He had never been treated so badly in his own restaurant.

“Young man, you’ve got guts to ask Mr. Accardo to get lost. You’re done for!” he added before turning around and leaving.

As he was walking out, a bottle flew out and hit his knee. Leo stumbled to the ground with a thump.

“Take his wine away. We don’t want it!”

Leo grabbed the wine bottle and left quickly. But he wasn’t running away. Instead, he was going to look for and report back to Mr. Accardo.

“Valtameri Co. operates in a gray area in California. It’s almost equivalent to Thousand Miles Conglomerate in its powers. I heard Valtameri Co.’s CEO, Frank Accardo, has a lot of fighters working for him. He seems very capable. Alex, wouldn’t you get in trouble?” Cheryl Coney asked worriedly. She had heard a few things about Valtameri Co. before.

To be honest, Alex had the intention of confronting Frank.

The last time he investigated the car accident and the people involved, all clues led to Frank in the end. However, Frank was not in California. Since Alex had bumped into his son, he could use this opportunity to lure Frank out.

Though Alex might not be afraid, Cheryl and the others were wary.

“Cheryl, Daya, Miranda. Why don’t you leave first? I’ll stay here and deal with the rest of the matter. I don’t want you to get involved,” Alex said.

Daya shook her head gently. “This thing started because of me. How could I leave without you? With you here, there’s no reason for me to be worried. I doubt this young president of Valtameri Co. could be stronger than that assassin from the other day.”

Miranda Finn didn’t say anything.

Cheryl, on the other hand, had her eyes opened wide. She looked at Daya in disbelief before turning to look at Alex. “Are you Mask from that concert the other day?”

News about Mask were all over the internet. In fact, some of the video streaming media platforms had even started riding on the trending topic of the masked hero. The same design of the mask had even been sold out on e-commerce platforms.

How could Chery! not know about Mask as a California resident?

She had also seen the video of Mask in action, and she was deeply shocked. But she didn’t think that man would be Alex.

Alex had no reason to hide it from Cheryl. He smiled and nodded. “Do you pay attention to such gossip on the internet? Cheryl, you should leave first!”

Cheryl shook her head. She didn’t even budge. She was a little lost in thought, and nobody could tell what she was thinking.

As for Miranda, there was a look of excitement in her eyes.

Leo Adams’ cold gaze remained on Alex. “Young man, you have no idea who you’re talking about. Do you know what will happen to you if you disrespect Mr. Accardo?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 388

Heath Accardo was shocked too, and he wanted to slap Chloe Marionette once again.

However, he stopped himself just before he did it Instead, he kicked her with his foot. “You b*tch. If I get HIV because of you, I’ll kill you and your family.”

Chloe was kicked so hard that her face became bruised and swollen while her nose started to bleed profusely. Everyone was so afraid of being infected that they quickly moved away from her. In the end, Chloe ran out of the room crying. Before she left, she glared angrily at Alex Rockefeller.

Alex didn’t care at all. He turned to look at Heath.

“Are you Mr. Accardo? Frank Accardo’s son? Where is your father?” Alex asked.

Heath immediately became enraged. “Who the hell are you? How dare you speak of my father’s name?”

“Young man, why haven’t you gotten down on your knees yet? This is Mr. Accardo you’re speaking to,” Leo added excitedly.

Just as Leo finished his sentence, a silver light flashed. Right after, Leo cried out loudly before falling to the ground.

It turned out that there was a fork stabbed deep into his thigh. It reached his bone, and it hurt extremely badly.

A moment ago, Alex had flicked his finger to shoot the fork into Leo’s thigh.

“Mr. Accardo, stay here. Everyone else that has nothing to do with this, get out,” Alex said calmly.

Miranda Finn got very excited as she watched this scene unfold. If there weren’t other people around, she would’ve shouted the name of the Condor Heroes’ protagonist, she loved watching the drama series. In her eyes, any man who was strong in martial arts was like the drama series’ protagonist, and she would call them Daddy.

“Outrageous!” Heath shouted angrily. “Mr. Kitagawa, it’s your turn. ” He turned to Mr. Kitagawa.

“A Japanese?” Alex was stunned. Only then did he notice that Mr. Kitagawa was indeed a little different. “Are you a ninja?” Alex asked.

Mr. Kitagawa scoffed coldly. “Of course, I’m not a ninja. I’m an ancient… ”

Alex couldn’t be bothered to listen to his introduction. “Get lost!”

If Mr. Kitagawa was a ninja, Alex would’ve been slightly interested. But since he wasn’t, Alex didn’t want him to stay.

“Take this!” Mr. Kitagawa shouted angrily as he threw a punch at Alex.

Mr. Kitagawa was a martial arts expert who studied an ancient form of Japanese martial art known as Katori Shinto Stream. His level of cultivation was extremely close to Mystic rank. This was also how he caught Frank Accardo’s eyes, and why Frank intentionally invited him from Japan.

Heath looked on coldly in disdain. He was paying more attention to Daya and the other pretty ladies.

Right then, Alex also struck with his fist, colliding with Mr. Kitagawa’s fist.

In the next second, the sound of bones cracking could be heard from Mr. Kitagawa’s arm and a broken piece of bone pierced through his skin. It was an extremely terrifying scene.

Mr. Kitagawa cried out painfully as he was sent flying out of the room.

Heath’s pupils contracted in shock.

His father had told him that Mr. Kitagawa was very strong!

So how did he turn out to become as weak as pulp?

‘Chloe Marionette, you b*tch. Why did you say he was a loser who depended on women? Ifhe’s a loser, then what am I?’ Heath thought to himself angrily.

“All of you, get out! ” Alex waved his hand and caused an explosion with his Chi energy. The remaining people were all flung out of the room.

“Where is your father?” Alex looked at Heath and asked one more time.

Heath had an awful expression on his face. For some reason, he wanted to kneel. “D-Do you know my father?” He stuttered.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 389

Daya and Cheryl Coney found it equally odd. Why did Alex Rockefeller ask Heath Accardo about his father twice?

Did something happen between Alex and Frank Accardo?

However, Alex shook his head. “I don’t know your father, but your father owes me an explanation. I heard that your father has gone in search of expert fighters. Is he back yet?”

Heath was truly shocked to hear this.

If Alex even knew about such secretive information, there definitely was more than meets the eyes. Alex could not be the loser Chloe Marionette described him to be. From the way Alex easily broke Mr. Kitagawa’s bones, Heath knew that Alex was a hidden boss like figure, Alex was definitely not someone he could afford to mess with.

Heath was just a guy who put up a tough act. He knew he couldn’t beat Alex. If he tried to fight, he would only be putting his life at risk.

Hence, Heath immediately bent his knees and knelt to the ground. “Sir, I’m sorry for being ignorant. I deserve to die.”

Alex looked at Heath. “Oh? Why should you die?”

Heath was stunned. He immediately started slapping himself. “Sir, Daya is a woman you’re interested in. I shouldn’t have tried to come between the two of you. I deserve to die.”

Alex didn’t speak.

Heath continued to slap himself!

“I shouldn’t have asked Leo Adams and my subordinates to disturb your meal, sir. I deserve to die. I even asked Mr. Kitagawa to fight you. I deserve to die,” Heath added.

Heath was a smart man. He knew very well that he should act like a coward if he couldn’t beat his opponent. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible to survive for long in places like the underworld.

Alex shook his head. He felt speechless when he saw Heath’s face getting swollen from slapping himself. “You sure know when to give up. Your father is considered quite an influential person in California’s underworld. I didn’t think you’d be such a coward. Alright, that’s enough. Apologize to Daya and get lost!”

Heath felt as if he had been given a second chance at life. He immediately banged his forehead against the ground in front of Daya several times before crawling out of the room.

Daya was shocked. “Is he really the young president of Valtameri Co.?”

Cheryl Coney couldn’t stand watching it. “He’s a bully to the weak, but a coward to the strong. He’s too… Spineless!”

“Alex, did anything happen between you and Frank Accardo?” Cheryl asked after that.

Alex shook his head. “I’m not sure yet. But let’s not talk about messed up things like this. We’re done eating anyway. Let’s go,” he said.

Cheryl returned to the hospital.

Miranda Finn was looking at Alex in an odd way, but she had other things to attend to in the afternoon. Hence, she also quickly left. However, before she left, she made an appointment the next morning with Alex to cure her secret illness.

Daya got into Alex’s Aston Martin once again. “Mr. Rockefeller, I still haven’t properly thanked you for saving my life during the concert the other day. I owe you a huge favor. What would you like?”

Alex waved his hand. “That’s not necessary. It was originally a deal between Anna Coleman and me anyway, so don’t worry about it.”

“That won’t do. Those are two completely different things. The fact that you saved my life is something between you and me,” Daya insisted.

Alex felt troubled.

“What should we do? Why don’t you offer me your body then?” Alex said.

“You…”

Daya immediately blushed in embarrassment.

Alex had always made her feel that he wasn’t tempted by beauty. Even when he saw how beautiful she was, he didn’t seem affected at all. To be honest, Daya still felt a little frustrated on the inside. Was she so unattractive that he didn’t even feel anything?

But when she heard him suggesting that she should offer him her body, her impression of him changed. Women really were contradictory beings.

“I was just joking. Did you take me seriously? I’m married! Even if you agreed, I wouldn’t dare accept it!” Alex laughed loudly.

“However, you do sing very well. If you really want to thank me, why don’t you sing me a song?” Alex added.

“Just a song?” Daya’s eyes glistened.

“This was way too easy!”

“Yes. Sing with your heart,” Alex said.

“Alright. I promise,” Daya said.

Daya turned to look at him. Her heart was beating slightly faster. This was the first time she sang for a man privately. It felt very different. Daya took a moment to prepare herself. “Well then, I’ll sing a song that hasn’t been released yet. There isn’t a name for it yet so let’s just call it ‘Nameless’!”

`The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 390

“Let the feelings of longing travel through the passage of time, let the memories of past lives sting the hearts of those who love each other, surely, you will also embrace each other’s strengths…”

The moment the song began, Alex Rockefeller felt a resonance in his mind. An extremely infectious mental power seemed to have traveled from her body to his. In an instant, Alex felt a strange sensation. It was as if he could sense her joy, anger and sadness.

Most importantly, his own spiritual power had also been strangely activated right then.

For some unknown reason, his spiritual power reached out like a tentacle, craving to get closer to Daya’s mental power. At that moment, the scene turned magical.

It was as if there was a chemical reaction.

When Alex’s spiritual power touched hers, the two suddenly entwined.

Daya was still singing and seemed to have entered a strange trance as her song became even more infectious.

Even she was moved to tears by her own singing. It felt as if she was going through memories of a past life, living the lyrics of her song, and Alex’s soul resonated with hers…

At one point, the two of them were staring deeply into each other’s eyes as they embraced each other. This continued until…

Knock, knock…

Someone knocked on the window of the Aston Martin, startling the two back to their senses.

When Alex and Daya saw themselves hugging each other with tears in their eyes, they were both dumbfounded. They quickly let go of one another.

“Hey, are you guys going to leave or not?”

An old man was knocking on the window. He was wearing a red band around his arm, he was there to collect parking fees.

When Alex and Daya got into the car, they didn’t leave for a long time. That was why the man came over to usher them.

“Yes, we’re leaving right away!” Alex quickly turned on the engine.

“Hey, you haven’t paid yet. It’s been two hours. That’ll be twelve dollars. Are you paying with cash or e-wallet?”

“E-wallet!”

Daya chuckled softly when she saw how flustered Alex was.

When she thought of the moment their souls resonated with each other, Daya truly felt shocked. It was as if the mood of the song had become a real part of her memory that she really did have a past life, that she was looking for her lover in this lifetime in the current one, and that her lover happened to be him, Alex Rockefeller.

A seed silently sprouted in her heart.

Meanwhile, Heath Accardo immediately captured Chloe Marionette who had run off earlier. He wanted to find out more about Alex’s background.

Bang!

Chloe was kicked to the ground and her ribs were nearly broken. It hurt so much that her tears and snot were all over her face.

“Mr. Accardo, stop hitting me, please. I’m begging you, please don’t hit me anymore,” Chloe begged on her knees. She thought about how intimately Heath and her were just last night. And now he was punching and kicking her. But she didn’t hate Heath. Instead, she hated Alex, blaming everything that had happened to her on him.

“D*mn. B*tch, I’m asking you. Who exactly is that Rockefeller guy?” Heath asked.

“Alex Rockefeller? He… he’s a college friend of mine. I’m his ex-girlfriend. He’s the son of Rockefeller Group’s founder, William Rockefeller. Later, he lived with the Assex family as a nanny, and he’s been depending on women to survive… His mother, Brittany Rockefeller, recently recovered from a coma.” Chloe immediately spilled the beans.

After hearing this, Heath kicked Chloe so hard that she spat out blood. “D*mn. Do you think I’m an idiot? How could a loser break Mr. Kitagawa’s hand?”

Heath immediately called Frank Accardo on the phone.

“Dad, Mr. Kitagawa’s arm has been broken. William Rockefeller’s son, Alex Rockefeller, was the one who did it. He seems to know you, and he said he wants an explanation from you.”

There was the sound of a ‘thud’ from the other end of the call, as if the phone had fallen to the ground.
