The Pinnacle Of Life

Alex felt humiliated by Bill Rockefeller.

He recalled what happened ten months ago, where his father William had also been humiliated. He said, “Grandpa, why are you lying? I don’t understand. Both William and I are your family, but why are we an eyesore to you?”

“Why? Because both of you are a disgrace to mankind!”

Alex felt so heartbroken as if a knife stabbed right through it. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

“Dorothy, please trust me, I’ve never lied.” Alex looked at Dorothy with his lonely and helpless eyes.

But Dorothy slapped him and said in tears, “You disappoint me! I thought that you’ve changed, but you’ve become more despicable and shameless. You’re such a terrible liar! I’m sick of you!”

She took off her wedding ring and threw it at Alex.

The ring hit Alex on his face then rolled down to the ground.

Alex’s face turned pale.

Dorothy’s words rang in his ears.

She had said that Alex wouldn’t have the chance to put that ring back on her hand if she took it off again one day.

Disdain and insults from the guests were like swords stabbing through him. But Dorothy’s contemptuous look hurt him the most.

Madame Joanne said, “Alex, all I ask of you is to divorce Dorothy tomorrow. I’ve agreed to Spark and Dorothy’s marriage! Now get lost! This is the Assex’s party, you’re uninvited!”

“Wait, Grandma!”
