The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 109

Claire found it bemusing and utterly unbelievable.
On one side was a rich heir as well as young director of a company with a net worth of tens of billions of fortunes, while on the other side was a good-for-nothing trash who had to live off his wife’s money for survival. Reasonably, should not the trash be the one to kneel down before the rich heir for an apology? How did it become the other way round?
Just what had Alex done?
Beatrice, who just came out of the manor, saw the scene and immediately cried out, “My good brother-in-law, why are you on your knees? What qualification does this trash have to have you kneel? Stand up, quickly stand up! Did the Rockefeller coerce you into doing this? Don’t worry, my mom and I will always have your back.”
After hearing how Beatrice addressed him, Felix was scared senseless as his heart raced widely.
Earlier, Felix and Edgar left. After returning home, only then did Edgar let out a sigh and told him what happened at Urasawa Restaurant and also the information gleaned from the phone conversation between Lord Lex Gunther and Alex.
It was truly terrifying.

They had all the reason to believe that a cue from Alex was all it needed for Lord Lex to crush both Pegasus International and the Shepherd family overnight, through the gathered force of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
It was not an exaggeration at all.
Therefore, Felix’s fear of Alex now had risen to its peak.
The more he thought, the more afraid and anxious he became, hence, he must quickly express his standpoint on the matter, and repent, begging for Alex’s forgiveness.
He then noticed that Alex was looking at Beatrice with nothing but disgust and contempt.
Leaping immediately to his feet, Felix slapped Beatrice on her face and roared, “Shut up! I’m not your brother-in-law, but Mr. Rockefeller is! What you just did, not only insulted him but also your sister! It’s a blessing that Mr. Rockefeller can be your brother-in-law. I’m warning you, do not cross the line.”
“What?” Beatrice was stupefied.
She could not fathom what just happened as she covered her face.
What happened to the man who wanted her sister so badly, that he exhausted every mean and gave her favors just to glean more information from her?
How did it turn out this way?
Claire, who was shocked as well, said, “Mr. Shepherd, what is going on? I thought you liked our Dorothy and wanted to marry her so badly. Why the sudden change of heart? Did this trash coerce you to do so? What has he done to you? I have your back, do not worry!”
“Mr. Rockefeller…”
