The Pinnacle of Life

At the present scene, only Lady Dorothy Assex’s eyes were calm and unruffled. It was as if she had expected this ending long ago.

Alex Rockefeller took two steps forward. “Jacob, do you still recognize me? A year ago, you came to my wedding. You made a lasting impression on me,” Alex said.

Jacob Yoder bent his body, and he had a convoluted expression on his face.

He didn’t answer Alex’s question. Instead, he turned to Craig Selby. “Who exactly is he? Why would you help him despite the huge risk to your job? You ought to think carefully about your future,” Jacob said.

Craig shook his head. “Mr. Rockefeller’s identity is top secret,” he said.

Alex chuckled. “Jacob, who exactly is trying to rebel here? Your daughter, who has no official position in the organization, was actually able to command the five major departments, including commerce, health, firefighting, and taxation. In fact, the organization was shut down for rectification without proper inspection. I wonder who gave her such powers?” Alex asked.

Jacob was astonished.

Of course he was the one who instructed the five departments to seize Dorothy-Alex Constructions, but he didn’t allow his daughter to take over command. She was supposed to simply come and observe what happened.

In that case, Alex really did have something to use against Jacob.
