The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 223

What a small world it was indeed! The lady was his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. She was dressed up well, but the bruise at the corner of her mouth was still very apparent, no matter how heavy her makeup was. Undoubtedly, she was beaten. Chloe was escorted away by the men from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate before this, and was sent to a brothel under Waltz Fleur’s order. The brothel, on the other hand, had its standards as well. Upon inspection, they found out that she was infected with syphilis. After a rough round of beating, all they did was throw her out of the brothel. Even though she was safe, she was livid and blamed all of her misfortunes on Alex Rockefeller. Hence, the intense look of hatred in her eyes, piercing into Alex’s. “Mr. Rockefeller, do you know her?” Jack Trent peered at Chloe and looked at them in surprise. Alex nodded. “You could say so. Are you both related, Mr. Trent?” “Oh, nope. She’s the daughter of my wife’s employee. They dropped by for a visit today. Well, I sure am glad you know each other!” Jack smiled. “It’s not good, Mr. Trent. I don’t want anything to do with him,” said Chloe coldly. Jack was taken aback slightly at the remark, as his expression darkened. Meanwhile, Alex ignored Chloe and looked toward the two ladies sitting on the couch. There was a rather attractive lady looking slightly in her early thirties, who was Jack’s wife, while the other older lady seemed to be Chloe’s mother, as they both resembled each other. Observing the way they spoke to each other, Alex gathered that they were here today to butter someone up. “Mr. Rockefeller, allow me to introduce you to my wife, Leanne Graves. The lady next to her is Tanya Marionette.” Jack intentionally glossed over his introduction of Tanya after sensing that Chloe and Alex might not be exactly on the best terms. “Darling, this is Mr. Rockefeller or Doctor Rockefeller, whom I told you about.” Leanne was already on her feet when Alex approached them. She was briefed by Jack about his identity prior to their meeting and quickly extended her hand. “Thank you for coming, Mr. Rockefeller. Please, have a seat! Would you like some tea?” The handshake lasted no more than half a second. Her skin was smooth and cool to touch. Immediately, Alex had an inkling of what was going on with Leanne. Tanya did not know who Alex was, but seeing both Jack and Leanne treating him with great respect, she kept a wide smile on her face. “Hold on! Do you know who he actually is, Mr. and Mrs. Trent? He is a fraud and a scammer!” Chloe suddenly dashed forward and yelled. Both Jack and Leanne’s expression darkened. Alex was their esteemed guest, and if he felt offended because of Chloe’s antics, things would get a lot harder. Chloe and her mother, however, did not seem to realize that fact. “You know him?” asked Tanya. Chloe scoffed with disgust in her voice, “How could I not? He went to college with me and was the most inept, weakest fool I have ever seen. Don’t you know his actual identity? It’s okay, let me tell you then. He’s Alex Rockefeller, and he has been married to Dorothy Assex quite some time ago. Unfortunately, he was banned from having any physical interactions with his wife and had to even serve her family, let alone being treated like garbage by his mother-in-law.” “Point is, how could this man possess any medical expertise? He is nothing but a fraud! If he really is a doctor, why is his mother still lying unconscious in the hospital?”
