The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 621

The man was actually Daya Stoermer’s father.

Alex Rockefeller was slightly surprised. For a moment, he felt a nervousness as if he was meeting his father-in-law. But he soon felt relieved… Recently, rumors about Daya Stoermer and him had been rife throughout the country. As one of the characters involved, Alex naturally knew a lot about it.

Obviously, Daya’s father was here to see if Alex was worthy of his daughter.

“It’s you, Mr. Stoermer. I wonder, what might be the reason for your visit at this hour?” Alex asked while he stood in front of the Villa, scanning Kazim Stoermer from top to bottom. Alex was exhibiting the behavior of a person of equal standing as Kazim.

Similarly, Kazim was also sizing Alex up.

He observed Alex from head to toe then back again. After that, Kazim shook his head slightly.

As a normal person, Kazim couldn’t see anything in Alex that made him the most powerful man in the world. He also couldn’t see how powerful Alex’s martial arts cultivation was.

After observing Alex for a while, Kazim’s gaze turned cold. He put on a look of great superiority. “I heard that you were once Rockefeller Group’s young director that owned 300 billion dollars in assets. After your family’s resources were taken, your home was occupied, and the Rockefeller family forced you and your mother out. Didn’t you ever think of retaking Rockefeller Group?” Kazim pompously asked.

“Have you been digging up on me?” Alex frowned and asked coldly.

Kazim laughed. “Finding information about you is a piece of cake. Do I even have to check on you intentionally? With a single call, I could find out about you and your ancestry. Can you believe that?”

“I don’t believe it,” Alex said while shaking his head. Even Alex himself couldn’t find out about his own ancestry. If Kazim really managed to do so, Alex would be expressing his gratitude to him.

Now, Alex very much wanted to know who Blaine Rockefeller exactly was.

After hearing what Alex said, Kazim’s impression of him worsened. Kazim felt as if he was speaking to the younger folk he usually encountered, jocks that were hardly respectful and thought nobody bettered them.

In reality, such people were simply not knowledgeable enough to realize how puny they actually were.

“300 billion in assets might sound like a leading enterprise in California, but it’s worth nothing in Michigan. In the whole of South California, that’s not even among the top ten enterprises. Living in a small place like this has limited your imagination. Besides, it looks like you haven’t the slightest intention to fight back despite your family assets being taken away.” Kazim shook his head after saying all this.

He seemed to look down on Alex, not to mention a sense of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

“Mr. Stoermer, what exactly are you trying to say? Be straightforward!” Alex frowned slightly.

Kazim snorted coldly. “Okay. In that case, I’ll speak the truth. I don’t care if you’re playing games with my daughter or something else, but in my eyes, you’re nothing more than a pest! Do you know where Daya comes from? She’s from the Stoermer family in Michigan. I’m sure you must have heard of the Stoermer family, haven’t you?” Kazim asked.

“I haven’t,” Alex shook his head.

Kazim snickered. “You don’t even know about the Stoermer family. How uninformed must you be? We, the Stoermer family, have a royal bloodline. We have a noble identity, and we are more powerful than nearly any family in this part of the world. As one of the daughters of the Stoermer family, Daya lives like a princess. Meanwhile, you’re like mud on the ground when compared to her. You’re not worthy of my daughter,” he said.

Alex raised his eyebrows. “And?”

“Leave my daughter alone. Stop any form of contact with her. I heard that you rescued my daughter three times. Here, this is worth 300 million dollars. Take it, and consider it your break-up fee,” Kazim said.

While he spoke, a woman walked out with a seductive stroll. She was none other than Waltz Fleur.

Waltz chuckled softly. “Saving her life three times, and all he gets is 300 million dollars? Are princesses worth this little these days? In that case, should I be considered a queen because I have ten billion dollars?”

Kazim’s eyes lit up when he saw Waltz, mainly because she was too pretty and flirtatious.

After that, he became tense again because he could tell that Waltz was a martial artist. Her level of cultivation in martial arts was nowhere near weak. At the very least, she was Mystic-rank.

Compared to the Stoermer family, however, what was so great about a Mystic-rank martial artist?

“Don’t get ahead of yourself,” Kazim said and grunted loudly.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 622

Alex Rockefeller suddenly laughed. “You mentioned a royal bloodline. Which royal bloodline were you referring to? Since the dawn of time until the golden era of America, I don’t recall there ever was an emperor by the name of Stoermer,” he said.

“Do you mean during the Dark Ages? Wait a second. That can’t be right. The Dark Ages emperor has Charlemagne as his surname, not Stoermer. I happen to know an emperor by the name of Rockefeller as recorded in history. Hehe! Senior, this means that you’re truly a descendant of a royal bloodline, and you are of very noble status… Your life is probably worth more than 100 million dollars!” Waltz Fleur said.

Kazim Stoermer was so enraged that he wanted to cough blood up. “Hmph! Two uneducated fools! It’s impossible to reason with you both. There’s no point saying anything further. Young man, just remember this. From now on, you shall have nothing to do with my daughter, Daya. You don’t deserve her,” he said.

Alex laughed out loud. “Is the Stoermer family from Michigan all that great? How did you know that I consider the Stoermer family as mud on the ground? Perhaps, you might one day kneel in front of me and worship me!” Alex snapped.

Kazim sneered several times.

“Young man, it’s good to be confident. But arrogance might cost you your life!”

“Forget it! I can’t be bothered to waste my time talking to a narrow-minded person like you. That will be all!” Kazim said.

With that, he turned around and left.

Kazim had thought his daughter might have had a good eye for men. It turned out that Alex was just another egoistic kid. Compared to the other man from the Coleman family, he was way worse. If it were not for Alex saving Daya’s life three times, Kazim would have taught him a lesson and put Alex in his place.

Waltz picked up the check on the floor worth 300 million dollars, and she was about to tear it up.

However, Alex stopped her. “Why would you turn down money? Anyway, he came and gave it to us for free. We can use it to buy some rare herbs tomorrow. I’ll make you another pot of chakra pills so you can speed up the process of getting to Advanced-Mystic. As such, you’ll have a higher chance of winning at South California’s major competition.”

Waltz shrugged. “Fine! But it’s getting late now. Why don’t we go to bed earlier?”

Alex became speechless.

He wasn’t in the mood at all. “Do you really think that my room is yours now? Sleep in your own room!” Alex said.

The next morning, Lady Dorothy Assex drove her BMW to Maple Villa. She had dark circles under her eyes. She knocked on Alex’s door with a firm look in her eyes. “I’ve made up my mind. We are getting divorced today.”

Alex looked at Lady Dorothy. After one full minute, he sighed and nodded gently.

Of all the feelings rummaging inside him, the most intense one was that of bitterness.

“Pack up and fetch your documents. We leave right away,” Lady Dorothy urged.

“This early? Is the Civil Affairs Bureau even open?” Alex frowned and asked.

“It will be by the time we arrive. Hurry up, stop wasting time. We don’t have a lot of it,” Lady Dorothy said.

Alex became speechless again.

Yesterday, she refused to get a divorce, even if it meant losing her life. Now, she was coaxing him to do it. Could she have finally figured that in the end, love was not as important as a life?

On the road, Alex didn’t say a single word. He just felt unusually irritated.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a huge hotel’s entrance.

“Get out!” Lady Dorothy urged again.

“Aren’t we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Why are we here at a hotel?” Alex asked.

“We’ve missed out on a ritual. Follow me inside,” Lady Dorothy said with a stern face.

Five minutes later, they entered a hotel room.

Lady Dorothy tossed her purse aside, removed her high heels, and undressed until she was fully naked. “After eleven months of being married, you still owe me our first time together. Since we’re getting divorced today, you’ll make it up to me now!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 623

Alex Rockefeller was completely stunned by the sight of Lady Dorothy Assex’s beautiful body that was as perfect as a flower.

Nothing could describe how frustrated he felt on the way here. He had never even tasted of his own wife after nearly a year of marriage. After the divorce, Alex wondered which jerk would get to have her. Just thinking about it made him sick in the stomach.

To his surprise, things took a drastic turn.

There was actually a parting gift for getting a divorce. ‘Uhm, this isn’t right,’ Alex thought

“What… What is the meaning of this?” Alex felt dry in his mouth. His entire body felt as if it was on fire. He didn’t know where to look.

“Didn’t you complain that I’ve never fulfilled my duties as your wife? We’re still married now. This is my responsibility. Hurry up. Time waits for no one,” Lady Dorothy said.

“No… This… This divorce thing. Is it still happening?” Alex stammered.

“We’ll talk about it afterward! I now suspect that you have erectile dysfunction, ” Lady Dorothy said.

“What did you say?” Alex asked.

Lady Dorothy had long made up her mind. Hence, early in the morning, she had already come over to book this hotel room. She even took a bath, and she now smelled great. At this moment, when she saw Alex behaving like a wooden dummy, she felt angry for no reason. She pushed him onto the bed and took his clothes off…

Alex didn’t actually have erectile dysfunction.

A few seconds later, he switched from being passive to active. He forgot everything about them getting a divorce.

If he could still hold back in such a circumstance, was he even a man?

The temperature in the room instantly rose.

Alex completely turned into a beast…

There was almost like a ball of fire in his chest. A year had passed, and he had never touched his wife. In the Assex family, he had to bear with Madame Claire Assex’s awful insults about how he was a piece of trash, a loser, and that he could never accomplish anything.

Madame Claire herself had done everything she could to get him kicked out of the house.

Did he not have pent-up anger?

Of course, he did.

He just didn’t have a choice but to suppress it.

What about Lady Dorothy?

Alex had to admit that she did love him. But there was one too many an occasion where she couldn’t understand or trust him enough… People who had never personally gone through such hopelessness in life would never understand it.

Didn’t Lady Dorothy end up thinking he was a loser too?

Didn’t she turn a blind eye when her mother and sister insulted him?

But why was Alex a loser?

That was because he needed to take care of his mother in the hospital. Otherwise, who would look after her?

He even had to take care of all the chores for the three women in the Assex family… Although being a male nanny made him look like a loser, it was necessary. Wasn’t it?

Alex was bursting with rage! He had accumulated all this anger for nearly a year. Today, it was all let out.

Scoop!

He picked Lady Dorothy up and kissed her fiercely. Then, he threw her onto the bed, turned her over, and pounced on her without mercy.

Two hours later, Lady Dorothy’s entire body was in pain. She was in tears.

“You’re a beast… sniffle… You’re not human… sob!” Lady Dorothy curled up on the ground and wailed.

It wasn’t as perfect as she had imagined at all. In fact, it was a devastating experience. Earlier, she thought she was going to die.

Alex looked at her and let out a long exhale.

“Sorry, I couldn’t… I couldn’t control myself!” Alex walked over to hug her and comfort her.

Earlier, the hostile energy in his body had been let loose. He nearly couldn’t even suppress his Chi energy.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 624

Alex Rockefeller had never felt this way before.

What was even more amazing was that his cultivation also seemed to show signs of a breakthrough. The Force stirred in his body.

“Weren’t you suspecting that I have erectile dysfunction? I just wanted to prove that I don’t,” Alex explained.

“No, you are trying to punish me! You are venting feelings of discontent. I can sense that you’re taking out all the anger you have for the Assex family on me,” Lady Dorothy Assex said.

Alex was speechless.

Lady Dorothy hugged him. “From now on, I, Lady Dorothy Assex, am your woman from the inside out. No one can say that I’m your wife by title only or that I never satisfy your cravings,” she said.

“Then… Are we still going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?” Alex asked.

He didn’t want to go anymore.

“Yes, we are! My sister and my mother have been urging me to get a divorce every day. Fine, I will do it for them to see. That’ll stop them from nagging. It’s so annoying. But before we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, you must sign a document for me,” Lady Dorothy said in a solemn tone.

“What?” Alex asked.

“Get me my purse. I’m too tired to walk,” Lady Dorothy said.

Alex brought Lady Dorothy her purse.

He then watched her retrieve a small, red booklet. It seemed ancient.

Two words were written on it. “Marriage Certificate.”

This was a marriage certificate from the ancient era! Alex’s eyes became wide open, and he seemed perplexed.

“Don’t think you can throw me aside just because you came up with the excuse that things will be dangerous. I’ve already wasted all my youth on you. I can’t fall in love with another man… If I were that kind of woman, I would have been with someone else back when you lived like a sorry pest. Weren’t Felix Shepherd and Spark Rockefeller much stronger than you back then?” Lady Dorothy blurted everything out.

Alex sighed in relief.

Now that they had sex, he naturally couldn’t let her go.

“But you’re a player. I know that it’s partly my fault. Also, my family contributed to it. Moreover, those women around you are all as pretty as angels, and they threw themselves at you. Even more ridiculous was the part where they were willing to share you with others! I’m making it clear that I don’t want to share. I don’t want to share at all…” Lady Dorothy suddenly started crying at this point. With tears streaming down her face, she started punching Alex. “You b*stard… You b*stard…”

Alex hugged her and kissed her passionately.

After that, they went out of control again.

Lady Dorothy was frightened. “No, I don’t want it anymore.”

“I have a solution,” Alex said while he laughed.

***

Lady Dorothy’s phone repeatedly rang in her purse, but nobody picked it up. Finally, it beeped three more times before it ran out of battery completely.

Madame Claire Assex, now in Assex family’s villa, was pacing around impatiently.

Unfortunately, Lady Beatrice Assex had gone to school today.

Madame Claire had nobody to talk to.

By four o’clock in the afternoon, Lady Dorothy finally called her on the phone. “Mom!”

Madame Claire started shouting immediately. “Dorothy, where did you go? Weren’t you going to get divorced? Why didn’t I hear anything from you all day? You didn’t even pick up my calls. Oh my god! I thought you were kidnapped and raped by that b*stard, Alex. I was worried sick, and I nearly called the cops!”

Lady Dorothy covered the speaker with her hand before glancing at Alex. “B*stard, you raped me,” she chuckled softly.

“I’ll rape you again then,” replied Alex.

“No, no… Please forgive me, my lord!” Lady Dorothy exclaimed.

Madame Claire sounded furious on the phone. “Hey, hey, are you listening to me? Did you get a divorce or not?”

“I did,” Lady Dorothy said.

“That’s great. That jerk is finally out of your life. Don’t worry. I’ll find you a suitable partner immediately. You are of different status now. You’re the CEO of the entire Assex Construction. Your husband should also make hundreds of millions…”

Lady Dorothy cut her off. “Mom, you don’t have to do that. To be honest, there’s something I’ve been keeping from you. There’s something wrong with me. I actually like women. Otherwise, why didn’t I get a divorce with Alex when he was such a loser back then?”

“Ahhhh?!” Madame Claire yelled into the phone.

Lady Dorothy tossed her phone away and pounced on Alex. “I want it!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 625

At the same time, at the University of California, Lady Beatrice Assex had been busy all day since school just started. She could finally take a breather now. Being a class officer, a member of the student council, and a core member of the university’s Female Flute Society, she was occupied at all times. Not only was she pretty, but she was also popular around campus. People would come to her for help for all sorts of things.

Today would be a full day for her.

Not only was she in charge of orientation, but she had to organize club meetings and meet with her class officers. Now that the school day was coming to an end, she could finally relax.

“Beatrice, Beatrice!”

Right about then, several people came over. They were Wilson Jordan, Sam Culver, and a few other young men and women.

This was their small gang. Mona Weiss, however, had gone missing and had yet to return. Perhaps, she might never come back.

“Why are you guys here?” Lady Beatrice asked.

“Beatrice, have you read the news about Daya Stoermer?” Sam asked.

Lady Beatrice immediately pouted. “Don’t mention that b*tch’s name. From now on, Daya Stoermer no longer exists in my world,” she said.

She felt that Daya Stoermer, despite her status, had actually interfered in her sister’s marriage. That was a b*tchy move. It made Daya a sl*t, and it degraded her status! Lady Beatrice knew Alex Rockefeller very well. Although her opinions of him had changed in recent days, Daya was still a prominent female singer.

Daya was a global star!

Her net worth couldn’t even be calculated!

How could she have been with Alex? If that didn’t make Daya a b*tch, what would? How could she have actually fallen for him? Didn’t he only know how to play the piano? Having an affair with one’s pianist was a truly shameless act.

Lady Beatrice decided she would be an anti-fan forever.

“Don’t!” Wilson immediately said.

“Beatrice, I bet you didn’t watch the news last night. Daya took over the internet again today. The tables have turned. It turns out that she didn’t interfere with someone else’s marriage. In fact, everything had been made up by Elena Steves. Elena was the b*tch who slept with countless men,” he added.

‘What?’

Lady Beatrice was surprised.

Due to the frightening experience yesterday and her hatred toward Daya, Lady Beatrice didn’t watch the news at all. She had also left Daya’s fan group, and hence, didn’t receive any information.

A boy wearing glasses next to Lady Beatrice quickly showed a video to her. “Beatrice, this is what happened during the press conference last night. It’s very entertaining. Hehe! This limited edition video is even available online. It’ll definitely shock you!”

Of course, that would be the case.

Naturally, so many videos and sounds of Elena Steves having sex with other men couldn’t be shared on the internet. Elena was still an A-list celebrity, after all. Her face and body were pretty stunning as well.

Wouldn’t it be too good a deal for those shut-ins?

Their D-drives would have to be burdened again.

Lady Beatrice started blushing when she watched the video. When the boys saw her face, their eyes immediately lit up.

Finally, she saw the “truth.”

“So, it’s all Elena’s fault. Why is this person so sick? It’s disgusting.” Lady Beatrice returned the phone to the spectacled guy. She couldn’t help but think that it was really a misunderstanding. She must have misunderstood Alex!

However, her sister had gone with Alex to get a divorce today. Lady Beatrice wondered how it went.

After that, Wilson shared another shocking piece of news. “Beatrice, Daya just announced that she would quit the entertainment industry for good.”

“What did you say?” Lady Beatrice asked.

This time, she jumped up.

She was already feeling guilty for misunderstanding Daya, thinking that she had an affair with her brother-in-law. Now that she had discovered that Daya was quitting the entertainment industry, her heart clenched even more. It felt as though she was the sole cause of Daya leaving the industry altogether.

Heavy hearted, Lady Beatrice returned home.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 626

Lady Beatrice Assex saw that her sister had returned, and a divorce certificate was on the coffee table. She had mixed feelings when she saw the paper.

Yesterday, Madame Claire Assex had used a knife and forced Lady Dorothy to get a divorce. Lady Beatrice had also sided with her mother then. And now, although the divorce actually went through, she wasn’t happy at all. Lady Beatrice couldn’t erase the image of Alex Rockefeller willfully stabbing his own stomach from her mind.

She couldn’t forget the scene, the look in Alex’s eyes, and the sorrowful manner he coughed up blood.

All of these were permanently imprinted on her mind. She would never forget those images in this lifetime.

Suddenly, Lady Beatrice thought of the masked man… For some reason, she felt that Alex gave off a similar vibe during the incident. Could the masked man really be Alex?

After this thought occurred to her, Lady Beatrice felt as if she was possessed. She couldn’t shake the thought away.

“Mom, we misunderstood Alex. There’s nothing between him and Daya Stoermer. Everything had been clarified in the press conference. Someone intentionally created the rumor to falsely accuse them,” Lady Beatrice said.

Madame Claire Assex was not bothered at all. “So what? We’ve got the divorce papers anyway. Everything’s final. This is a good thing! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this divorce certificate? I’ve been looking forward to it since the day they got married. Now, my wish has been granted. I’m delighted! From now on, I will no longer be associated with that loser.”

Madame Claire danced around, nearly singing out a tune.

Lady Beatrice watched her mother. It was the first time she felt that her mother might actually be a little crazy.

“Oh, right. Do you think your sister is abnormal?” Madame Claire suddenly asked.

“What do you mean by abnormal?” Lady Beatrice was stunned.

“Her sexual orientation. Do you think she might like women?” Madame Claire asked.

“Of course not! You’re weird. She liked Alex so much… Sigh. Alex can only blame himself for having an awful fate,” Lady Beatrice said.

Suddenly, Lady Beatrice thought about how it was actually a good thing that Alex divorced her sister if he really was the masked man.

When Madame Claire heard this, she was instantly overjoyed.

Previously, she was actually shocked. She thought that her daughter might be lesbian. That would have been too terrifying a prospect. Now that she thought about it, Lady Dorothy must have said it out of spite because she was in a terrible mood.

It would be fine. Lady Dorothy would be alright after a few months!

Now, the most important thing was finding a suitable husband for her daughter. But who should she choose?

Just as Madame Claire was still worrying about who to pick as her son- in-law, an advertisement suddenly started playing on the television in the living room. The scenes were breathtaking, almost looking like it was a Hollywood film.

Even Lady Beatrice was attracted. Upon taking a closer look, Lady Beatrice realized the woman in the advertisement was her super idol, Daya Stoermer. In the scene, Daya was so pretty that she seemed not of this world.

In fact, she looked closer to that of a reincarnated angel. It stunned even Madame Claire.

Soon, Daya took out a product and held it in her hand. It looked strangely familiar.

A voice could be heard from the TV, “Lush Cosmetics Golden Age of Youth. You deserve to have it!”

Lady Beatrice started shouting in surprise. “Lush Cosmetics! Mom, I remember this name. Isn’t this the new brand that Alex’s mother, Madame Brittany Rockefeller, recently came up with? Dorothy still has some of it in her room!”

“I can’t believe they actually got Daya to endorse this product.”

“Daya just announced that there’s nothing between her and Alex. Also, she said she would quit the entertainment industry forever. This commercial might be her final appearance!”

“Lush Cosmetics is going to sell like hotcakes! Alex might really bring Rockefeller Group back in three months!”

When Madame Claire heard this, she was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Alex, who was now in an excellent mood, received a call from Daya. “Alex, I’m going to leave right away… Perhaps, we might never get to meet again. Can I see you for the last time?” she asked.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 627

When Alex Rockefeller received this call, he was stunned for a moment

Having been with Lady Dorothy Assex all day today, he hadn’t been bothered about what was happening outside, completely unaware of Daya Stoermer’s announcement of her showbiz retirement.

“Where are you going?” Alex asked.

“Away from California,” Daya replied.

Alex fell into silence.

In fact, he had subconsciously renounced his urge to mess with other women after making things right with Lady Dorothy Assex. His relationship with Daya was still a little unclear, though. It felt more like a fantasy that occurred after their spiritual powers resonated with each other.

It was a bit of a stretch to say that he had really fallen in love with Daya. Between Daya and Lady Dorothy, he would definitely choose Lady Dorothy.

They had gone through so much together, including challenges that put their lives at risk, as well as mixed feelings of love and hatred.

However, when Daya said she wanted to see him for the last time before she left, Alex had no reason to reject her.

He thought that it was probably a good thing that they met too. Bringing an end to this dream-like, ill-fated relationship was a good way to make it up to Lady Dorothy.

“Okay. Where shall we meet?” Alex immediately said.

“Let’s meet at Willow Lake. There’s a windy pavilion there. I’ll be waiting for you,” Daya said.

“Alright!”

But Alex could never have imagined that this decision would cause him to fall into a proverbial pit that he could never climb out of.

Half an hour ago, Kazim and Carey Stoermer had initially wanted to bring Daya back to Michigan. They were going to introduce Daya to a young genius from Missouri’s Coleman family, a blind date of sorts…

Perhaps, not long after that, they would get married and have children.

Daya would stay at home to raise her children, and she might become a woman with no particular goals in life. However, Daya was reluctant!

She believed that having the same dream since she was a kid was no coincidence. She also believed that she was born to search for that person in her dreams. Now that she finally found him…

Fate had pulled a prank on her. By the time they met, he was already married.

Daya, meanwhile, was born to the Stoermer family. Hence, for once, she wanted to fight for it!

She sat in front of the piano and turned to face her parents. “Mom, Dad. Before we leave California, I want to sing you a song. This is a special performance from me to you.”

Since their daughter wanted to sing for them, they naturally didn’t refuse, being her parents and all.

As a result, as soon as Daya sang, the two fell asleep on the couch.

Daya was gifted with mental power, and after learning the skills to control it from Alex, she found herself being able to do more and more things. For example, she could influence emotions, control minds, and even perform hypnosis.

She had hypnotized her own parents.

After that, she asked Alex to meet her at Willow Lake.

***

At eight in the evening, Alex met Daya at Willow Lake. He was instantly captivated by her gorgeous face, and he nearly couldn’t break away from her charm. Alex could tell that she had dressed up intentionally, and her clothes had been carefully selected.

“What are you looking at?” Daya pursed her lips a little and cracked a soft smile.

“Oh…”

Realizing that he was being impolite, Alex quickly looked away. “About that. You’re in a beautiful outfit today,” Alex commented.

After saying that, Alex felt an urge to slap himself.

Daya’s soft smile expanded and she stared at Alex. “What about me?”

This was an exceedingly aggressive question.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 628

Alex Rockefeller laughed dryly, “Of course, you are… Way more beautiful,” he said.

Daya Stoermer sat down elegantly. “This time, I caused you and me to have a scandal. I’m truly sorry. Did your wife misunderstand anything after that?”

Alex sighed a little. “We got divorced today.”

Upon saying that, Alex wanted to slap himself again.

‘What the heck? This foul mouth of mine! Why did I say that?’ Alex thought.

Daya’s eyes immediately lit up, and her heart raced. It was as though she saw a glimmer of hope… She didn’t want to miss this fated opportunity. They were destined to be together!

How could she miss this chance?

“Was it because of me?” She leaned over and asked softly.

“Not entirely,” replied Alex.

“I’ve heard a little bit about you guys. The Assex family doesn’t seem to treat you well. I heard that Lady Dorothy’s mother makes things difficult for you, and she thinks of you as a thorn in the flesh. In the past, she treated you like a nanny…” Daya said.

Alex waved his hand. “Forget it Why bring this up? Let’s talk about you instead. Your father came looking for me yesterday. I didn’t expect the Stoermer family to come from a royal bloodline.”

Daya shook her head. “It’s more like fallen royalty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone around trying to marry off the family’s daughters to affluent families out there! Alex, there’s something I want to tell you.”

She finally decided to stop beating around the bush.

Suddenly, Daya took Alex by his hand.

Alex was startled. “What… What did you want to tell me?” he asked.

“I like you! ” Daya exclaimed.

“Uhh…”

“Aren’t you divorced now? In that case, would you like to be with me? Why don’t we elope somewhere? We can go abroad to a place where nobody else is. We’ll buy an island on the Pacific Ocean, live a reclusive life, and I’ll bear your children…” Daya went on.

Alex was stunned. This was way too direct.

The problem was that, in the face of such an offer from Daya, he was tempted to say yes.

Truthfully, if it were any other man, 99% of them would have agreed.

But Alex finally shook his head gently. “No, I… I can’t say yes.”

“Why?” Daya asked in bewilderment.

“It… It’s very complicated. I still have many things to do. For example, I must exact revenge. Hence, I’m sorry…” Alex explained.

Daya looked at him and chuckled bitterly. “It’s simply my lack of fortune! After returning to my family this time, it might perhaps be a permanent farewell… Before I go, can you buy me a drink? Think of it as sending me off,” she said.

Alex nodded. “Of course, that won’t be a problem.”

Daya inhaled sharply and pointed at Willow Lake. “Let’s go there. I know about a cruise ship we could charter.”

Soon, the two walked down to the lake. Indeed, docked by the shore was a two story cruise ship.

“Boss, I want to charter your boat for tonight. Make me an offer!” Alex said directly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Daya. Although she had put on a mask and a hat, she still seemed very eye-catching. The man then looked at Alex with a funny expression. “Not a problem. A single night will cost you 50,000 dollars. You can do anything you want! There’s even a room upstairs, complete with everything you need. It’s no different from a hotel. Also, just so you know, one of its rooms even has a special, romantic ambiance. Hehe…”

Alex felt slightly awkward. “Is there food?” he asked.

“Yes, yes. We have cuisines including Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean kimchi rice, and even Indian curry rice. We have everything you want!”

“I’ll pay by card!”

Beep.

Alex finished paying with his card and had just gotten on board when a group of people unexpectedly rushed onto the cruise ship.

The leader looked like a young man with wealthy parents. “Boss, I want this boat. Get rid of everyone else,” he exclaimed.

Alex and Daya were just about to enter when they heard this. They turned around with stunned looks on their faces.

Among the group of people was an old nemesis.

She was none other than Alex’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette.

After counting the days down, it seemed like they hadn’t met for quite some time. Alex didn’t expect to meet her here. Moreover, by the looks of it, she had changed boyfriends yet again. Wearing a pair of sexy, revealing shorts, Chloe had her arms around a young man’s arm while she flirted with him.

When their eyes met, Chloe immediately started shouting. “Hey, Alex Rockefeller, it’s you, you loser! Shouldn’t you be on your knees, washing your wife’s feet? I can’t believe you’re actually out here on a date with another woman. Do you not want to be looked after by your wife anymore?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 629

Admittedly, Chloe Marionette had nearly died after getting beaten up by Heath Accordo. In fact, she had personally witnessed how terrifying Alex Rockefeller’s moves were.

She should have learned from such an experience, knowing when to back off and stop messing with Alex. However, the man in her arms was no ordinary person. He was Mr. Coleman, a member of one of California’s four largest families!

Mr. Coleman was a powerful martial artist in his own right, and he was way tougher than that coward, Heath Accardo. Last night, Chloe found out from a friend that Heath had died for some unknown reason.

That coward deserved to die!

With Mr. Coleman here, there was no reason for Chloe to be afraid!

The full name of the man in Chloe’s arms, Mr. Coleman, was Sven Coleman. His eyes instantly darted between Alex and Daya Stoermer.

He noticed that Daya was wearing a hat and a mask at night, with only her eyes showing. However, her pupils seemed lively and her skin fair. Moreover, her figure seemed to take an attractive shape and elegance, and it already made him ogle.

This woman was definitely a beauty!

Perhaps, she might be even more stunning than Chloe. An idea immediately occurred to Sven.

“Chloe, baby. Who is this idiot? Did something happen between you two? Did he bully you in the past?” Sven asked.

He intentionally wanted to cause a scene. His objective-stir up conflict between him and Alex so he could use the opportunity to make his move.

Chloe immediately tightened her grip on Sven’s arm while pressing her chest against him. “Mr. Coleman, this jerk bullied me several times. Not only did he slap me, but he even wanted to… To do that to me! I’m pure and clean. If he really trampled all over me, I’d be too embarrassed to be with you, Mr. Coleman. Wouldn’t you agree? Hehehe!”

‘What an actor!’ Alex sighed.

Despite the many things she did that could bring about death, this woman could still live a life filled with glamor. It surely was considered a talent.

Alex laughed sarcastically. “Chloe Marionette, if you ’re considered clean and pure, there wouldn’t be a single tainted woman in the world. I’d like to ask. Have you recovered from your syphilis?”

Now that Alex mentioned it, he used his observational Chi to scan her body, and realized that her illness had really been cured.

Chloe became enraged. “Mr. Coleman, look! This man is disgusting. just because he couldn’t have me, he’s intentionally defaming me. You have no idea how big of a loser he is. He got married for a year, but his wife is still a virgin. He’s practically useless. All he does is hug his mother-in-law’s feet all day long. Mr. Coleman, you must avenge me! I gave you my first time!” Chloe begged.

“Chloe, baby, of course, I believe you,” purred Sven.

That’s because Sven saw blood when they had sex. At that time, Chloe seemed to have been in an unbearable amount of pain.

Of course, Sven had no idea that Chloe had faked the whole thing. She had gone through surgery to make sure she would bleed during sex. It cost her 2,000 dollars, but the benefits she received in return were a hundred or even a thousand fold more.

Sven laughed. He now had an excuse to do what he wanted.

After glancing at Daya, he turned to shout fiercely at Alex. “You piece of sh*t! How dare you slander my girlfriend and even bully her? Tell me, what are you going to do about it?”

The people who came with Sven immediately started chipping in.

“You’re a useless piece of trash. You’re even worse than a dog. Look, there’s a public toilet over there. Let’s make him eat the poop inside.”

“Haha! That’s not a bad idea. Chloe, pretty, what do you think?”

Chloe chuckled. “I think it could be a good idea.”

The owner of the cruise ship couldn’t bear it any longer. Alex had already paid him 50,000 dollars. Hence, the man immediately stepped forward. “Everyone, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Why don’t we talk things out peacefully for my sake…”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone kicked him, and he fell rolling on the ground.

The person who hit him was a young man with a buzzcut and a pale face. “For your sake? Who the hell are you? Do you know who this man is? He’s the young master of the Coleman family from California, Mr. Coleman. Think about it. Can you command that much respect from him?” asked the young man with an annoyed look in his eyes.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 630

“Huh?!” The owner of the cruise ship immediately shouted in surprise. Even his cheeks trembled in fear. The Coleman family ranked second among the four most influential families in California. How could a lowly owner of a cruise ship like him afford to offend someone from such a background? A single sentence was enough to ruin his business in California. In fact, he might not even live to see tomorrow.

The owner got up and very hastily apologized. “I’m sorry. I’m terribly sorry! I didn’t know it was Mr. Coleman that had come here. I deserve to die. I shouldn’t have interfered!”

“Get lost!”

The owner quickly ran off.

He didn’t even want to manage the cruise ship anymore.

Alex Rockefeller looked calmly at Chloe Marionette. “Looks like you haven’t learned your lesson. Wasn’t it nice just staying at home? Why must you be out and about, ruining the lives of others? Look, now this Coleman guy and a bunch of trash had to all eat poop because of you.”

“F*ck!” Sven Coleman shouted angrily and waved his hand. “Go on! Break his legs first!”

“Wait a second!” Daya Stoermer suddenly exclaimed.

Sven had been waiting for her to speak. Otherwise, how would he make a show out of this? However, as soon as he heard Daya’s voice, his body went numb. D*mn, wasn’t her voice too sweet? Wouldn’t he be on cloud nine if he heard her screaming beneath him?

Great!

It was awesome!

Sven was determined to have this woman.

He smiled devilishly. “What’s the matter? Can’t you show your face at night, pretty lady? If you want to plead for this man, fine. Stay here tonight and be my woman. I’ll let this man go if you do.”

“Hmph! Mr. Coleman, I will not permit it. You already have me. How could you still want another woman?” Chloe cried with a pout

“I’m doing this to avenge you. Aren’t you supposed to be happy?” Mr. Coleman asked with a chuckle.

Chloe wasn’t actually forbidding the man from doing what he wanted. She was merely being petty. People like Mr. Coleman wouldn’t possibly marry her. But if she could get enough benefits, why would she be afraid of another woman getting in the picture?

“Mr. Coleman, you must avenge me properly. I’ll be cheering you on with a flag!” Chloe immediately said.

“Shameless!” Daya snorted coldly.

“Shameless? You wouldn’t be saying that when the time comes. Come on, pretty lady, take off your hat and your mask first. Let me see your beautiful face,” Sven said while reaching out with his hand.

The next second, Alex grabbed Sven by his wrist and twisted it until it snapped with a pain-inducing crack.

Sven’s wrist now appeared to be bent at a horrifying angle.

“Owwwl!!” Sven wailed out like a pig on the slaughter table. Never would he have thought that Alex might have dared do something so cruel when his identity had already been announced.

“You… Jerk! How dare you break my hand?” Sven yelled.

His friends were equally shocked.

Being martial artists themselves, they immediately charged forward to avenge Sven after letting out a fierce roar.

Alex was about to attack again when Daya suddenly intervened. “Stop!!!”

The group of men seemed as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies froze in place.

Just as Alex was feeling a little surprised, and at the same time, felt Daya activating her mental power, she started to speak softly. “Aren’t you interested in the poop in the toilet? Go look for some poop and eat it if you find any. If you can’t find any, look for it in another toilet. No matter what, you must have a full meal of poop today.”

Daya’s demure voice was soft and gentle.

The group of men appeared as though they had heard the voice of an angel.

An ecstatic look appeared on their faces. They then nodded in unison, shouted a resounding yes, and ran off the cruise ship to look for poop.

Sven shouted their names out loudly, but they seemed impervious to his hails. All they could do was scramble to get to the nearest toilet.
