The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 58

Half an hour later, Alex Rockefeller arrived at Maple Villa in his new BMW M8.
The previous wreck was left behind at the dealership.
After some inspection, the staff found the main components of the car to be functioning as intended. It was as good as new after some overhaul.
Upon Alex’s departure, a small crowd quickly gathered around Chloe Zea, with envy and jealousy plastered all over their faces.
“Chloe, you are so lucky today! That is at least a hundred thousand dollars in commission for you!”
“Where should I go to meet such a generous man?”
“You should keep in touch. He is such a young guy and a handsome one too! If you manage to entice him, your life is set!”
Chloe’s eyes twinkled as she started fantasizing.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon. California’s West Hill Cemetery.
Also the worst cemetery in the state. Run-down and neglected.
Alex and his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, stood in front of a desolate tombstone.
The founder of the titular Rockefeller Group, with his net worth amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars before his death, could only be buried here in the most run-down and desolate spot.
It was extremely difficult on Brittany.
Seconds in, she dropped to her knees and bawled her eyes out.
Alex cried silently and hugged his mother.
It took a while for her emotions to stabilize.
Gently plucking the weeds off the grave, she lamented, “Why? Why was your father buried here? He loved having company more than anyone else when he was still alive. He is so lonely here.”
“Didn’t the Rockefeller family have their own cemetery? It was bought by your father when your grandmother passed away. Why wasn’t he buried there?”
Alex sighed. “After the incident, John Rockefeller accused Dad of corrupt practices and treason, selling sensitive research information to folks of other countries. The old man believed his accusation and banished us from the family. John also said that Dad did not deserve to be buried in the Rockefeller cemetery and colluded with a few of California’s major burial grounds to reject Dad’s ashes. This was the only place that accepted him.”
He continued after a brief pause. “Do not worry, Mom, for I will avenge Dad. I will find out the truth and seek the one responsible for everything!”
Brittany’s expression darkened.
Being an extremely capable woman, she knew how to control her emotions well as she said, “Alex, John Rockefeller is a nasty character with many devious tricks up his sleeves. We have to plan our actions carefully.”
