The Pinnacle Of Life

Swoosh!

Claire, clad in a bikini, dived into the pool like a mermaid, her jade-white legs alternately

kicking the water.

It was exceptionally accurate.

Alex stood by the door, watching her for half a minute with an indifferent look on his

face. When it was confirmed she wasn’t going to leave the water any time soon, he

quietly retreated.

In a flash, he entered the room that Claire had chosen. On the spacious Simmons

mattress were some of Clare’s clothes, thrown randomly on it.

His sharp eyes glanced around lightning fast, searching for the pearl necklace.

He finally found it under a pair of black undergarments. Naturally, he was looking for the

necklace to study the secrets the pale, golden pearl held.

If those complicated blood-tunic scriptures had indeed been laid down by William, then

it could be inferred that his father was by no means the ordinary person he had

portrayed himself to be, and a mere car accident wouldn’t have been enough to kill him.

Then, the culprit really had to be someone else. His mother’s guess could probably be

true.

The question was, who was it?

His heart was heavy, filled with concern as he grabbed the black undergarment and put

it aside. Just before he could grab the item, someone rushed in.

It was Beatrice.

She pointed at Alex and shouted furiously, “Alex, you big pervert! You’re actually here to

steal my mother’s… How could you be so disgusting?! Ahhh! I’m going crazy! How

could such a person like you exist in this world?!”

Alex was dumbfounded, embarrassed to be caught in the middle of such a scene.

At that moment, Dorothy, having heard the commotion, also rushed in.

“What’s the matter?

Why are you arguing again?”

Beatrice pointed at Alex again. “Sister, look at this yourself! The man you have is

mine, it wouldn’t sound as crazy, but he actually wants to steal mother’s? Is he even still
