The Pinnacle Of Life

“I remember now. This middle-aged guy is the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. The one proposing is Felix Shepherd who’s been harassing Lady Dorothy for quite a while. Well, isn’t this great? Felix’s father is groveling before Alex.”

“How could Alex have the CEO of Pegasus International kneel for him?”

This was a mystery everyone was itching to unravel.

Edgar immediately ordered Jay to hand him the check they had prepared earlier. Edgar handed it to Alex with the utmost respect and said, “Master Alex, this is twenty million dollars. Please accept it! It’s just a little gift. I won’t get up until you accept this!”

Maya was shocked once again, watching Alex puzzledly.

Alex stared at the check emotionlessly.

Suddenly, Alex’s phone started ringing. It was a call from Lex Gunther.

Alex took a glance in Edgar’s direction and picked up the phone calmly. “Hey, Lord Lex!”

Upon hearing the name, cold sweat trickled down Edgar’s forehead. He raised the check higher, his face filled with despair.

Lex said, “Master Alex, is Edgar Shepherd from Pegasus International there with you now?”
