The Pinnacle of Life

“Uncle Benny, my company would be ruined if I were to sell the materials at half the market price! That wouldn’t be able to cover the advance expense that we forked out for the materials. You’re trying to ruin our lives!”
Dorothy was in such a panic that she reared up, after all, this was all too much for her.
Alex did not understand much about Assex Constructions’ new materials. Although he felt sorry for his wife, he could not find any excuse to stand up for his wife. So, he could only wait and think of another way to help her.
Madame Joanne smiled coldly. “What does that have to do with us? Your company can go into shambles for all I care. Grandma wants to help you, since you’re my granddaughter. If you could achieve the first request, we wouldn’t take action on the second.”
Dorothy understood their intentions now, it was a simultaneous pressure to force her into submission. Madame Joanne looked confident, knowing that she was going to get what she wanted.
Benny said, “Dorothy, I’ll give you a day to think about this. If you don’t give me an answer by this time tomorrow, I will forfeit your sales rights of the new materials at the City South branch. Just decide for your sake.”
After that, the Assexes walked out of the villa immediately, as though they would be tainted by the contaminated air in the villa if they stayed there any longer.
After walking out of the villa, Emma lent an arm to support her father, Anderson as she viciously cursed, “That bastard Rockefeller! One day, I’ll have him kneel before me and make his life a living hell!”
Anderson said, “I want to kill him..!”
However, Benny shook his head. “Anderson, you’re at fault too. Couldn’t you have kept your foul mouth shut? Saying things like that would definitely piss Dorothy off. That bastard Alex is a mad man too, he’d beat anyone up as long as he has a reason to. You and Emma better stay away from him in the future.”
Madame Joanne said, “Don’t worry, as long as we sign the contract with South Cali Structures, I’ll avenge the both of you and make that Rockefeller brat regret his actions for life.”
They then got into their car and drove off.
Dorothy, on the other hand, helplessly flopped onto the sofa. Aggrieved, tears began streaming down her face as she bit her lower lip. However, in just a few moments, Dorothy curled up into a ball and sobbed uncontrollably.
Alex was heartbroken, so he hurriedly approached her and squatted down to comfort her. “Dorothy, don’t worry. Tell me what’s with the sales rights of the new materials, we’ll face this issue together.”
Claire pushed Alex aside. “What do you know? What good would it do even if we tell you? Get lost, this is your fault! If you hadn’t beaten Emma and Anderson up, Madame Joanne wouldn’t have made things difficult for Dorothy! It’s all your fault, you’re nothing but a bearer of bad luck! You’re just here to scourge our family!”
Alex was ticked off and wanted to shove this woman into a toilet as he thought, “She looks alright, yet she’s just full of sh*t.”
“Claire Assex, can you just shut up for one second? All you know is to yell, what does this even have to do with Alex? He’s just helping us, can’t you use your brain for once?!” Dorothy was about to fall apart but she couldn’t bear Claire’s nonsense anymore.
Claire said, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop, okay? Umm… is it really that bad?”
