The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 469

More than half an hour later, a police car arrived with its siren turned on, causing
residents in the neighborhood to wonder what had happened.
Five people soon got out of the car. Tony Lee happened to be the leader of the team.
“Hello, Mr. Rockefeller. I’m in charge of this case of yours,” Tony said.
Alex Rockefeller was shocked. “I can’t believe you had to be involved, Mr. Lee. Sorry for
the trouble.”
Tony nodded. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll do our best.”
Tony led his subordinates into the villa, where everyone was taken aback by the
damage’s extent. It wasn’t because they had never seen anything like this. In reality,
whenever people from the underworld were involved, there were often situations like
these. However, the ones who destroyed this villa were Madame Claire Assex’s in-laws.
This was overboard. How much did they hate each other?
Soon, photos were taken, and inspections were made.
“Mr. Rockefeller, did you really lose a jadeite worth 100 million dollars?” Tony asked.
When Madame Claire and Lady Beatrice Assex heard the question, they both looked at
Alex with peculiar expressions on their faces.
“Of course. It might even be worth more than 100 million,” Alex insisted with certainty.
A female member of the team, more attentive to the details, looked around at the

thrashed villa and broken household items. A frown formed across her face. “Mr.
Rockefeller, am I right? You shouldn’t lie. Are you sure you own a piece of jadeite worth
100 million dollars? If what you say is false, you could be charged for blackmail.”
Lady Dorothy Assex suddenly became nervous. She wanted to say something but
stopped short.
When the female team member saw this, she felt even more confident that Alex was
lying.
She immediately snorted coldly. “Mr. Rockefeller, you should think this through carefully.
If you dare to make false accusations of others, I’ll…”
Smack!
Before she could finish, Tony slapped her. “Are you sick?! Do you realize what you’re
saying? The victim just told you that something of his got stolen. Your job is to
investigate the case. What are you doing right now? Are you threatening the victim?
What’s your identity? Is this incident related to you? Are you in cahoots with the other
side of the Assex family?”
The female team member was baffled after being hit. “Sir, I didn’t. I just thought… They
don’t seem too wealthy, and this house is run-down and barely standing. The items in
this household don’t seem very upper-class either. How did jadeite worth 100 million
dollars appear out of nowhere? Is there proof? We shouldn’t become hired guns! If it’s
true that they owned it, they’ll have to show us the receipt!”
Alex glanced at her. “Think you’re very smart? Couldn’t I have inherited it from my
ancestors? Cant it be worth more than 100 million dollars just because it’s inherited? Is
it now worthless just because my ancestors didn’t leave a receipt behind?”
Tony pushed his female subordinate away. “Get out!” he shouted angrily.
The female subordinate gritted her teeth. “Sir, I did nothing wrong. How could you kick
me out? I’m only asking questions,” she said.
“Fine, I’ll tell you. I acquired that jadeite a few days ago from stone gambling. That’s
why I don’t have a receipt. Many people saw what happened at the antique market. If
you don’t believe me, you can ask around,” Alex said.
Lady Beatrice’s eyes opened wide. “Are you… Are you actually the Stone Gambling
Prince?”
She had seen a live video of the Stone Gambling Prince in action, and secretly, she was
