The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 553

“What?!” Dorothy and Alex were startled when they heard Jenny’s words. Especially Alex. He thought to himself, ‘Could the poison Granny Blackwood administered have been too
strong, and it ended up killing her in one shot?’ However, Dorothy was quick to ask, “How did she die?”
“I heard that she was killed on the scene by a gangster.
The ringleader is a loan shark who gives out loans at
a high-interest rate. Benny borrowed 40 million from them, and somehow, some conflict broke out in his
office.” Assex Construction and Dorothy-Alex Construction used to be under the same umbrella, and Jenny still had
friends over there. As soon as the incident took place, her friend had immediately called and told her about it. After Dorothy heard that, she was silent for a long time.
Even though the old lady had treated her unjustly and
had even wanted to conspire against her entire family, she was still her blood-related grandmother after all. She had been alive and kicking, being her domineering self just a while ago. Now, in a blink of an eye, her life
was extinguished, just like that…

She let out a shaky breath as the sadness welled up inside of her. Alex, on the other hand, felt relieved. If Granny Blackwood were the one who killed Madam Joanne, he would have certainly felt uneasy. Being
beaten to death by a loan shark, however, had nothing to do with him. This could be categorized under the
‘reap what you sow’ banner, as all evil had its retribution.
Jenny continued, “I heard that the culprit had been caught. Benny offered a reward of two million and caught
all of them. He sent them to the authorities on the spot.”
“You must be very well connected to get this news,” Alex said. Jenny smiled stiffly. “A lot of people in our company already knew this. It’s blown out of control now.”
“Hubby, would you like to go see?” Dorothy asked. Alex considered it for a while before shaking his head. “Not today. We have all been driven out the door by
the Assex family. If we were to go over now, it would be messy, and there’s no guarantee they won’t take
their anger out on us. We’ll head there tomorrow.” Dorothy hummed in agreement. The news quickly reached Claire’s ears. Instantly, she called Dorothy to confirm the news.
Upon receiving confirmation, Claire chuckled loudly. “She deserved it! That old fart should have died a long time ago. She
reaped what she sowed and couldn’t go on living. Even the gods above wanted her out of here.” The old lady had overwhelmed her for so many years that she didn’t even have the space to breathe, and she
would be crippled by anxiety the moment she saw her.
Adding to the fact that they had been poisoned and
even attempted to snatch their company away, Claire had lost all positive feelings toward Madam Joanne for
a long time. She changed the topic and said, “Dorothy, come home now. Bring Alex with you. I need him for something.”
“Mother, what devilish things are you up to now?”
asked Dorothy.
