The Pinnacle Of Life

Merida cackled and pinched Nicholas’s ear. “Listen to your brother-in-law, you naive child. What kind of people are you even befriending now? Do you know how expensive the villas are in Maple Villa? Your brother-in-law wouldn’t even be able to afford one in a million years!”

“Trying to trick us with a fake keycard? You are absolutely ridiculous!”

Alex was speechless. He didn’t want his mother to face any insults. She had only just been discharged from the hospital. He turned to Nicholas. “Nicholas, you can talk it out with your family. We’ll be off.”

Nicholas asked, “Off to where?”

Merida smirked and joked, “Where? They’re definitely going to Maple Villa and stay in some grand villa of course! Why would they stay in such a rundown place, right? Will they even get used to such poverty?”

Sean laughed at them too, treating them like clowns in a circus.

Alex replied, “My keycard is real. Mr. Carter gave it to me just a while ago. Nicholas, it’s alright, I know how much you care about me. I’ll be off with my mom now.”

He then helped Brittany out of the apartment.

During the whole conversation, Brittany did not say a single word and watched her son navigate the whole situation. He was calm and collected, handling the situation maturely. Brittany was very glad that he handled it so well.

Nicholas suggested, “I’ll drive you guys there.”
