The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 849

The person who had arrived was Douglas.
As if a slap wasn’t enough, he started punching Chad until his face swelled up.
“Kneel down!
“Apologize!”
“Or I’ll break both of your legs!”
Douglas seemed to be very energetic as his eyes glistened while he beat his nephew mercilessly. His punches were enough to knock two of Chad’s teeth out and give him a nosebleed.
Chad was kicked in the knees and made to kneel even if he didn’t want to.
This was enough to scare Adrien and his whole family. The family of three were just normal citizens, Adrien was just a normal worker of some hardware store. He was only able to become the leader of his team with a salary of five thousand dollars per month, just enough to provide for the family in a big city in Michigan.

Scarlett, on the other hand, was just a janitor for an accounting firm, so her salary was much lower.
This was why the two would usually be cautious at all times. They would never want to provoke or offend anyone.
They were just too poor to even argue with others, worried that they might accidentally offend some rich and powerful figure. So, the couple had never seen such gory scenes which caused them to jump up from fear and try to stop the two men in panic.
Heather, on the other hand, felt sheer terror in her heart. She realized that she had made a grave mistake. She really didn’t expect her niece to invite the boss of Lush Cosmetics and the decision maker for the acquisition of Sunshine Co.
The only reason she introduced Chad to Chloe was because she had reaped benefits from him.
Heather was a woman that loved gambling, and she would gamble with quite a lot of money as well. Just a while ago, she had lost way too much money on just one game. Not only had she lost all her savings, she even took a loan for another 500 thousand.
If she couldn’t pay it back within a week, they would take her house away. She knew that her husband would get mad at her if that were to happen.
So, she remembered her beautiful niece. She started boasting about how gorgeous her niece is to Chad, saying that she could set them up together.
She was basically selling her own niece out, knowing that she would have to bear serious consequences if Chad were to expose their trade.
Chloe, however, had faced different types of scenarios before, so she was used to this. She pulled her parents aside, telling them not to interrupt. She whispered. “Mr. Rockefeller is here, so don’t worry.”
The two looked at their calm daughter and back to Nicholas and Alex. Their presence alone calmed them down and they felt proud of their daughter.
Thud!
