The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 812

“Nothing much,” Hailey said. “You’re a man and one with great strength. Help me move a box! I wanted Charles to move it, but he hasn’t been around lately, and this box has already been there for quite a few days.”
“Haha, moving a box is no problem, of course.”
Alex walked towards the top of the stairs and picked up the cardboard box.
The box was indeed heavy, and he estimated it to be around 66 pounds. It was nothing to him, but to a woman like Hailey, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to move it.
“It’s really heavy. What’s inside this?”
“It’s a movable shelf that I bought for Zoey.”
In the end, after moving it up to the third floor, the iron gates of the villa opened automatically, and a small car drove in.
Alex was startled. “Is that Brother Charles?”
Hailey’s eyes widened. “Impossible, he’s gone to Block City, and he won’t be back until the day after tomorrow!”

“Snap inspection, perhaps?” Alex muttered in a low voice.
The woman blinked, then raised her hands to hit him. “What nonsense! As though anything is going on between us. If there’s any inspecting to be done, it should be me inspecting him.”
After a pause, she tiptoed to the balcony and squinted to look, only to be taken aback almost instantly. She ran back inside, her tone horrified. “It’s not Charles. It’s my father-in-law! That’s weird. How did that old fart get the keys to my house? He’s already in.”
The grievances that Hailey had against her father-in-law could not be eliminated.
Alex was also surprised.
If Charles had come back, Alex would be fine with just explaining the situation with a few words. But now, it was Hailey’s father-in-law who had come. If Alex was caught in his daughter-in-law’s room, wouldn’t that be bad?
Alex immediately said, “Sister Hailey, go and greet your father-in-law. I’ll get out from the balcony.”
Hailey, however, caught him tightly and shook her head. “Don’t go. If there is something wrong with him…”
Zack Carter had been an ex-convict, after all.
Alex blinked. “Then, I’ll stay upstairs. If something really does happen, just shout.”
At those words, Hailey took a deep breath and walked downstairs.
“Little Hailey, Little Hailey! Come out!”
Downstairs, the strong smell of alcohol surrounded Zack’s body, and even his eyes were red. He saw that the dishes on the table had yet to be cleaned up, and it was apparent that two people had eaten there. And there was even a bottle of unopened red wine. A suspicious and gloomy expression surfaced on his face.
Hailey was frowning as she came down the stairs. She just couldn’t understand how he could have had the keys to their house.
It was impossible that Charles gave it to him. Could it be that he had secretly duplicated it himself?
“Father, why are you in my house at such a late hour?”
