The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 117

Alex despised the people who threatened his family the most. As such, it was an extra forceful slap. Smack! The man from the Yowells was in a daze instantly, spitting blood along with a couple of teeth, after being hit with that heavy slap. He was almost knocked out as his head hit the door of the car. The onlookers were dumbfounded at such a scene. Grieving at Alex’s impulse action after refusing to listen to advice, many shook their heads in disappointment and secretly thought, ‘This is nothing but an empty display of strength. However, the Yowells are not someone that you should ever offend. The harder you hit, the worse the consequences you will suffer later.’ Claire screamed in disbelief, as if she was on the verge of going mad. Just because the trash knew some moves, he could be cocky and arrogant? He would only bring the Assex family down with his antics! She charged at him and was about to smack him, waking him up from his antics. Alex looked at her with a vicious gaze and said, “Dorothy, bring her to the hospital, quick.” Dorothy was extremely worried but she had never seen such a solemn expression on Alex. Immediately, she nodded and dragged Claire into her car. However, Claire chided, “I want everyone here to be my witness! This wretched, abandoned child of the Rockefellers has been staying at my house and living off my daughter solely ever since their marriage. Some time ago, my daughter had divorced him, so everything he did today has nothing to do with the Assex family!” Dorothy’s expression darkened immediately and she dragged her mother into the car with great force, to prevent her from spewing more nonsense. At the instant, the crowd reacted differently after hearing the spicy statement by Claire: some felt contempt; some felt disdain; some felt sympathy. Who would have thought Alex, who was supposed to stand up for his mother-in-law, would not only get beaten by her, but she also berated him in the public. “I heard that ever since William Rockeller passed away in the car accident, Alex has become a decadent son-in-law. Not only has he been working as a nanny at his mother-in-law’s house, but he also dares not retaliate against the scolding and humiliation by his mother-in-law every day. It seems like the rumors are true after all.” Someone whispered among the crowd, but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone else. Alex glanced at the crowd with an indifferent expression. Why should he bother himself with these normal people? With The Ultimate Book of Medicine’s help, he would reach transcendence with extraordinary abilities in the future. When the time came, these people were nothing but little, harmless ants to him. In the car, Dorothy started the engine as she said, “Mom, how could you say that to Alex? He came to help you, and we have not divorced yet.” “Help? I beg to differ! Are the Yowells someone that he can piss off? It’s fine if he’s the only one to suffer the consequence later, I do not want us to get dragged down because of his immature actions!” Claire replied angrily. “Tell me, what is going on?” “You want to know? It’s because that trash dared to give me a fake check, with twenty million dollars! How dare he do that? Not only did I lose sleep over it for nothing, but I was also mocked by that cheap Madam White from the next door. So, I was in a fit of anger and accidentally crashed into the Rolls-Royce.” “Fake check?” After taking a glance, Dorothy was immediately speechless. “Mom, you folded the check, and it’s Alex’s fault?” Meanwhile, the crowd surrounding Alex began to disperse as they thought it was the end of the dispute. What awaited Alex later would be the severe punishment from the Yowell family. However, a young lady with huge racks, wearing an exquisite suit and a pair of red high heels, exited the bank at the moment. Her dressing was not the main focus, but those that were beneath her on her white shirt, as if she had put two water polo balls underneath. Everyone else was afraid that she would fall down as she walked, due to the unstable balance of her body. Seeing the state of the Rolls-Royce, she quickly rushed over. As the lady saw the injured man, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Jeremiah Yowell?!” The lady shouted at the man from the Yowells, but he lied on the ground, enervated, and unable to pick himself up after getting beaten by Alex. “Did you hit my guy from the Yowells?”
