The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 320

Moreover, the ninja from Japan who had killed Pepper was likely to come for him. It was
more convenient for him to act alone anyway.
In addition, there were many things for him to settle in California.
He gave Dorothy a call.
Dorothy was obviously happy when she knew that Alex had returned to California. The
two agreed to meet at the lobby of the company to go for dinner together.
The married couple met up at 5 PM. in the evening. Alex’s brows furrowed when he
looked at her. “Why do you look more dispirited than usual, and your complexion looks
bad too. What have you been doing recently?
Did the old lady from the Assex family
cause trouble again, as if she has all the time in the world?”
Dorothy closed her eyes and said, “No, that’s not it. It’s just that I’ve recently signed a
contract with Waylon Realty, with Charles. You’re also aware that with my company’s
current capabilities, we simply can’t handle the amount that we need to supply to them
so suddenly.
I had to seek out supplies from others just to keep up with the demand.
And there are so many other things to deal with on top of that too.”
“Why didn’t you get the building materials at a lower price from Assex Conglomerate?”
Alex asked, thinking it was strange.
“I’ve told my uncle about this, but he wasn’t bothered with it at all. Forget it, let’s not talk
about me. What’s been going on with you?”

“Everything is under control.” Alex replied.
She glanced at him. “You’ve been there for a week. Did you have such a good time
there that you were reluctant to come home?
I’m sure Maya has been keeping you
company everyday, right? I’m warning you now, even if your mother forces you, you’re
not to sleep with her.”
“What are you saying? I would never!” The moment Alex said those words, he felt a
stab of guilt in his heart.
He hadn’t slept with Maya, but he did lay in the same bed as Hailey. Basically, ever
since Hailey left him with those parting words, a question had always been weighing on
his mind: did they or did they not do the deed that night? He couldn’t figure it out, and if
she really got pregnant like she said, then it would be a big problem.
The couple discussed it for a while before deciding to have hotpot.
But along the way, Dorothy received a call from Claire.
“Your aunt and her family have come over, Dorothy, and they’ve invited us for dinner at
Plum Farm. You can head straight there after work, we’re already on the way there.”
“Huh?”
Dorothy was surprised. “Why has Aunt’s family invited us to dinner all of a
sudden, without any reason? This has never happened before.”
“Their family has bought a house, so they’re staying with us tonight They’ll be taking us
there tomorrow to have a look and probably show off as well!” Claire answered.
“They bought a house?
Go figure. Alright, I understand.”
After she hung up, Alex said, “Since your entire family has gathered for dinner, I won’t
intrude on the fun.”
The thought of seeing Claire gave him a headache. Plus, Adrianna was even more
detestable than Claire. Seeing the two together would give him an even bigger
headache.
Dorothy rolled her eyes. “Aren’t you part of the family? It’s fine, it’s not like they eat
people.”
In the end, Alex went.
As expected, the moment they arrived at Plum Farm, Claire’s face went sullen at the
sight of him. “Rockefeller, why are you here?”
Dorothy held Alex’s arm.
“I’m the one who brought him here, Mom. He’s my husband, is
that not acceptable? If it’s not, then we’ll leave.”
Claire pursed her lips, not saying anything.
It was then that Alex realized that Claire’s cheeks had a healthy flush, and her face
