The Pinnacle Of Life

Alex returned to the Assex family’s villa as if he were a walking dead. Even though it was called a villa, it was just an unremarkable little house. After demolishing the old family home, a three-story building was built from the ground up. It was a far cry from a real villa.

Alex looked up and saw that the light in Dorothy’s room was on. ‘Is Dorothy at home?’ Alex wondered to himself. ‘She’s not with Spark after all?’ At that moment of realization, it was as if a huge burden was lifted from his chest. He saw hope and realized Madame Claire’s words could not be trusted. She was deceitful. She liked to make things up just to fulfill the fantasies in her head.

Alex rushed through the doors into the villa. He saw Madame Claire in the living room, video calling someone while applying nail polish on her toes with her feet up in the air. She was humming happily.

Alex felt overwhelmed, knowing that Madame Claire was thrilled that her daughter was going to get remarried. She had forgotten all about the threats from Gaston Gates.

Upon seeing Alex, Madame Claire jumped out of the couch and said, “Who let this person in? You still dare to come back here? You are going to get divorced from Dorothy tomorrow. Get out!”

Alex ignored her comments and quickly rushed up the stairs. He wanted to make sure that Dorothy was in her room. He was determined not to lose her. Alex tried to open the door, but it was locked. He knocked hard on the door and begged, “Dorothy, please open the door. I know that you’re in there. I have something important to tell you.”

Madame Claire followed Alex up with her bare feet and yelled, “You garbage of a person, get out of our house. Who gave you permission to come up here? You think you have the right to be here?”

“I must see Dorothy,” Alex said with a firm voice.

“Did I not tell you that she went to spend the night with Spark? Maybe she’ll be pregnant with his child. Stop being a burden to my daughter and our family. If you stop my daughter from marrying Spark, I will hit you!” Madame Claire said.

Alex grunted.

If his snobbish mother-in-law knew now that he had ten billion dollars in the bank and a trillion dollars empire, how would she feel? However, he decided it was not the right time to reveal it to her. In time, he would let her know of his newfound wealth and influence!

Finally, I can stand on my own two feet, I can protect you. That Gaston from Thousand Miles Conglomerate is nothing in front of me. I will avenge you.

Alex was speaking enthusiastically, Madame Claire slapped him across his face. “Are you hallucinating?” asked Madame Claire, “Are you brain dead? You must have gone insane. Why don’t you just tell us that you own Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Get out of our home
