The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 223

What a small world it was indeed!
The lady was his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. She was dressed up well, but the bruise at the corner of her mouth was still very apparent, no matter how heavy her makeup was.
Undoubtedly, she was beaten.
Chloe was escorted away by the men from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate before this, and was sent to a brothel under Waltz Fleur’s order.
The brothel, on the other hand, had its standards as well.
Upon inspection, they found out that she was infected with syphilis. After a rough round of beating, all they did was throw her out of the brothel. Even though she was safe, she was livid and blamed all of her misfortunes on Alex Rockefeller.
Hence, the intense look of hatred in her eyes, piercing into Alex’s.

“Mr. Rockefeller, do you know her?”
Jack Trent peered at Chloe and looked at them in surprise.
Alex nodded. “You could say so. Are you both related, Mr. Trent?”
“Oh, nope. She’s the daughter of my wife’s employee. They dropped by for a visit today. Well, I sure am glad you know each other!” Jack smiled.
“It’s not good, Mr. Trent. I don’t want anything to do with him,” said Chloe coldly.
Jack was taken aback slightly at the remark, as his expression darkened.
Meanwhile, Alex ignored Chloe and looked toward the two ladies sitting on the couch.
There was a rather attractive lady looking slightly in her early thirties, who was Jack’s wife, while the other older lady seemed to be Chloe’s mother, as they both resembled each other.
Observing the way they spoke to each other, Alex gathered that they were here today to butter someone up.
“Mr. Rockefeller, allow me to introduce you to my wife, Leanne Graves. The lady next to her is Tanya Marionette.”
Jack intentionally glossed over his introduction of Tanya after sensing that Chloe and Alex might not be exactly on the best terms. “Darling, this is Mr. Rockefeller or Doctor Rockefeller, whom I told you about.”
Leanne was already on her feet when Alex approached them. She was briefed by Jack about his identity prior to their meeting and quickly extended her hand. “Thank you for coming, Mr. Rockefeller. Please, have a seat! Would you like some tea?”
