The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 475

Swoosh!
Claire, clad in a bikini, dived into the pool like a mermaid, her jade-white legs alternately
kicking the water.
It was exceptionally accurate.
Alex stood by the door, watching her for half a minute with an indifferent look on his
face. When it was confirmed she wasn’t going to leave the water any time soon, he
quietly retreated.
In a flash, he entered the room that Claire had chosen. On the spacious Simmons
mattress were some of Clare’s clothes, thrown randomly on it.
His sharp eyes glanced around lightning fast, searching for the pearl necklace.
He finally found it under a pair of black undergarments. Naturally, he was looking for the
necklace to study the secrets the pale, golden pearl held.
If those complicated blood-tunic scriptures had indeed been laid down by William, then
it could be inferred that his father was by no means the ordinary person he had
portrayed himself to be, and a mere car accident wouldn’t have been enough to kill him.
Then, the culprit really had to be someone else. His mother’s guess could probably be
true.
The question was, who was it?
His heart was heavy, filled with concern as he grabbed the black undergarment and put
it aside. Just before he could grab the item, someone rushed in.
It was Beatrice.
She pointed at Alex and shouted furiously, “Alex, you big pervert! You’re actually here to
steal my mother’s… How could you be so disgusting?! Ahhh! I’m going crazy! How
could such a person like you exist in this world?!”
Alex was dumbfounded, embarrassed to be caught in the middle of such a scene.
At that moment, Dorothy, having heard the commotion, also rushed in.
“What’s the matter?
Why are you arguing again?”
Beatrice pointed at Alex again. “Sister, look at this yourself! The man you have is
extremely disgusting, trying to steal mother’s… If he wanted to steal yours, or even
mine, it wouldn’t sound as crazy, but he actually wants to steal mother’s? Is he even still
human? If it were me, I’d divorce him immediately. Today.”

Dorothy looked at what Alex was holding. A buzzing sound filled her head, and it felt like
it was about to explode at any moment.
How could she look past this incident and endure it?!
“No, no, no, my wife, you’ve misunderstood…” Alex fumbled in a panicked state, quickly
tossing whatever was in his hand.
“You… How could you do something like this? If you wanted it, couldn’t you have come
to me instead? You didn’t have to steal… Oh, I really have no face left to see other
people now.”
Dorothy’s face was flushed with rage. She ran into her room, slamming the
door behind her, not about to come out anytime soon.
Alex was speechless. He looked at Beatrice with disgust on his face. As he grabbed the
pearl necklace, he said, “You’ve really misunderstood. I wanted to look at the pearl
necklace. It really isn’t what you think it is.”
Beatrice didn’t believe him at all. “Hmph! You dared to do it, but you dare not admit it?
I’m so ashamed of you. Get out. Hurry up and get out! I won’t tell my mom because you
helped me beat up the bad guys last time, but I don’t owe you anything else after this.”
Finally, she spat out the words ‘disgusting’ before pushing him out of the room. She
snatched back the necklace too.
Alex headed over to Dorothy’s room and knocked on the door.
For a long time, she didn’t respond.
In the end, Alex had to leave the villa in a depressed state.
Then, he left Senna Port.
Alex gave his mother, Brittany a call.
After some trivial chats about daily lives, Alex asked, “Mom, do you still remember the
pearl necklace that Dad gave me as a greeting gift when I went to Assex Villa to meet
Dorothy’s mother for the first time?”
Brittany said, “Of course I do. Your father also strung a precious golden pearl in it. The
whole necklace is worth at least eight million dollars.”
Having said that, she got angry. “Our family has treated your mother-in-law so well, but I
couldn’t believe that she’s such a snob! Son, if you’re being mistreated at Assex Villa,
then you should really, just divorce! It’s better to just get the pain over with, rather than
prolong the agony!”
“Don’t worry, Mom. She’s much better now after that incident… Besides, you think she
could really do anything to me with my capabilities? If she were to really irritate me, I’ll
just give her a big tight slap.”
“Tsk, who would believe you! ”
“Why not? I had beaten her up last time, and Dorothy didn’t say anything about it either.”
“Are you serious? You even dared to beat up your own mother-in-law?”
“Of course! By the way, Mom, let me ask you about my father… Why did he insist on
giving this string of pearls to my mother-in-law? Was there any special reason for it?”
Brittany said, “I really don’t know about this. Your father did things on a whim
sometimes, who knew what was really going on in his mind that time?”
Alex continued to ask, “You’ve been with Dad for so many years, Mom. Did you ever
think he was special? As in, maybe somewhat mysterious?”
Brittany was puzzled. “Why are you asking this? What was special about your father?
The most special thing about him wasn’t anyone special at all.”
Okay!
Alex knew that there was nothing he could ask his mother anymore on this.
However, she continued, “Alex, we need to find someone to endorse our product line in
Lush Cosmetics. I’ve been in a coma for half a year, so I’m not really familiar with the
entertainment industry. Do you have any recommended candidates who could endorse
our products?”
Alex smiled immediately and said, “What do you think of Zendaya, Mom?”
“Zendaya?” Brittany exclaimed. “You’re really overestimating your mom. Of course I
know who Zendaya is. She’s already extremely popular since a year ago, and I’m still a
