The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 345

‘We were just talking about the two million dollars, yet here you are giving him twenty
million dollars at once. Do you really need to leave me with egg on my face?’
Adrianna felt as if her face were swollen due to the slap in the face. However, she just
said that she would lick Alex’s shoes if he really had two million dollars.
More importantly, her eyes were fixated on the bank card, brimming with jealousy and
vain. After all, that was twenty million dollars. Based on their economic condition, their
family would never be able to earn such a large sum of money in their lifetime. Those
were astronomical figures to them.
However, Claire was even more crushed.
Alex had given her the twenty-million-dollar check back then, yet due to immense
excitement, she had made a crease on the check when she placed it under her pillow
before sleeping. In the end, she even yelled at him and accused him for giving her a
fake check.
‘It was real all along.’
Dorothy, on the other hand, had already seen the check. Hence, she wasn’t quite so
surprised as the others.
Beatrice had her eyes widened. She stared at Felix and then turned to Alex. She felt
something was not right.

“You actually came personally to hand me the money!” Alex smiled scornfully at Felix.
Felix hurriedly smiled and said, “As I should, Mr. Rockefeller.
My dad has had this on his
mind for the longest time too. He told me to greet you on his behalf when we meet.”
Why was Felix in such a rush to hand him the money? This was all due to the incident
during Bill Rockefeller’s funeral, it was quite a shocker to the Shepherds.
Even the patriarch of the great Yowell family in California had showed up in person just
to stand up for Alex.
How much weight could his words carry?
A single sentence from the patriarch of the Yowells could crush Pegasus International
and make it vanish in a puff of smoke.
If Alex were to refuse to take the money, both the Shepherd father and son would be
restless for the rest of their life.
Luckily, Alex was indeed short on money now. Not only did Belle Blossom require large
amounts of funds, but he needed money to procure some medicinal herbs as well.
Hence, he took the bank card without hesitation. After realizing that the password was
written on the back of the card, he just shoved it into his pocket and said, “Thanks.”
While watching their interaction, Claire’s expression instantly darkened, as if she were
bereaved of her parents. She felt as if someone had abruptly stolen twenty million
dollars from her pockets.
“Fake, fake, this must be fake!” Adrianna suddenly screamed, “Twenty million dollars?
You must be some kind of con artist that Rockefeller hired!
How could this trash have
twenty million dollars in his pockets?”
Felix’s expression instantly turned cold. “You’re calling me a con artist? Who are you?”
While pointing at Felix’s nose, Adrianna raised her voice and was about to chide, “Yeah,
I’m calling you a con artist, take it as a compliment!
You’ re nothing but a…”
Smack!
Unexpectedly, Adrianna’ s voice just fell silent as Taylor, who had not uttered a word
since Felix’s arrival, swung his palm and slapped her across the face.
“Ah! Taylor Bellamy! Have you gone mental?!”
