The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 268

“Mom…”
Alex wanted to stop Brittany, yet he was held back by Waltz. “Senior, Madame has been
holding the anger for such a long time, if you don’t let her vent it, it might deteriorate her
health and she might get sick. Your mother-in-law has indeed crossed the line.
If we
don’t teach her a lesson now, you’d have to suffer more in the future.”
Alex smiled bitterly. “I’m worried that I wouldn’t even have a future after this.”
Waltz smiled as she said, “That won’t happen.”
Deep in her heart, she wished clearly that Alex didn’t have such a future.
“My son has been slaving away for your family as a nanny, he could at least have a
salary of ten thousand dollars every month, right? There’s a total of ten months, how
much has he actually taken from you?
Isn’t that what he’s supposed to deserve?”
Brittany said coldly.
“It doesn’t matter how much he took, that’s still money of the Assexes!”
“Fine, it’s your money. What about this then?
Back when Alex was getting married, I
gave you a betrothal gift of twenty million dollars, and I’m not even including the cost of
the jewellery. But you never treat my son as your son-in-law, so shouldn’t you return

those money to me?”
With this, both Dorothy and Beatrice were shocked as they had no idea this had actually
happened.
Dorothy asked, “Mom, you… you actually asked for a betrothal gift of twenty million
dollars?”
Claire yelled, “So what if I did? After all, you two have registered for marriage, why
should I return those money?”
Dorothy asked again, “What happened to the money then?”
Claire, who seemed fairly upset, agitatedly said, “I traded them for futures and lost all
the money. Hmph, it must be because it’s dirty money, that’s why I lost. Why else would
I suffer losses in everything that I bought?”
Listening to this, Dorothy was about to cry from sheer anger.
The guests were appalled as well. After all, it was not a small amount, but twenty million
dollars. Most people wouldn’t even be able to earn such an amount in their whole
lifetime.
It was a rare sight when someone had the courage of her convictions to say
that she lost all the money with such an excuse.
Brittany laughed coldly. “If it were really dirty money, the officials would’ve come to
confiscate it ages ago.
How could they let you off so easily? Fine, whatever, twenty
million dollars are nothing to me, I don’t really care if they are gone. But don’t you dare
try to reason with me using my son’s pocket change of hundreds of thousands dollars.”
She added, “Didn’t you just say that you wanted your daughter and my son to get a
divorce? Sure, I agree with that.”
Panicked, Alex’s face turned pale. “Mom, I don’t want to.”
However, Claire clapped as she exclaimed, “I agree too, they should’ve divorced ages
ago!
Why should I let this loser stay in my place any longer?”
Brittany turned to Alex and said, “Back then, I told you that I didn’t want you to marry
Dorothy. In my mind, I’d prefer Maya to be my daughter-in-law, or Waltz, I’m satisfied
with her too!”
Dorothy’s expression instantly darkened.
Alex asked, “Mom, what wrong did Dorothy even do?”
