The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 282

“Pepper Kimmich, you are insane! Let go of my father! ” Noah yelled with reddened eyes. However, realizing that Pepper was umnoved, he hurriedly called out to John, “John, hurry and have your woman let go of Dad! What is she trying to do?” Everyone started screaming in panic as well. John took in a deep breath. “Pepper, let go of my dad. Let’s talk through this.” Deigning to even look at him, Pepper’s eyes were fixated on Alex as she said, “You really have surprised me. Looks like your father, William Rockefeller, really did solve that secret and handed it to you. He managed to deceive everyone.” Alex was taken aback “What secret?” Pepper smiled. “Don’t act like you don’t know. How else would an average heir like you gain such power all of a sudden? Are you trying to say that you’re possessed? You’ve been slaving away for the Assexes for the past ten months, enduring their beatings and insults like a sore loser. In fact, you were just hiding your abilities, stalling time to secretly strengthen yourself, right? Looks like I have underestimated you. Your acting skills are much stronger than mine.” Alex was more confused than ever. However, he maintained a calm expression and said, “Secretary Kimmich, does that mean you approached my father just for this secret? Your hiding skills are something else though.” “Touché.” “So, you were the one who had someone cause a car crash to kill my father, right?” Alex said calmly, yet his eyes were filled with murderous intent. It seemed that the truth would soon be revealed. Unexpectedly, Pepper shook her head. “You were wrong, I didn’t kill your father.” “Who did it then? Was it him?” Alex pointed toward John. “Hahahaha, John Rockefeller? He’s just an arrogant fool, how could he possibly go against your father?” Pepper’s words immediately angered John. However, in his eyes right now, Pepper Kimmich was a complete stranger, as if the woman whom he had slept with and called him hubby earlier was just his hallucination. 0n the other hand, her eyes were filled with contempt, disdain and mockery as she glared at him, as if she were looking at a piece of rotten meat that was filled with maggots. “Then who did it? Is it Frank Accardo?” Alex asked. “Huh, you know about Frank Accardo too. Looks like you’ve dug up quite some information. But I’ll tell you what, Frank Accardo doesn’t have what it takes to kill your father either. Do you really think your father died from a car crash? You underestimate him way too much! Do you want to know the truth? Then you have to let me go! I’ll tell you as soon as my safety is guaranteed.” Anna spoke up, “You can’t escape.” Pepper continued staring at Alex. “Then I’ll kill this old man. After all, he’s technically still your grandfather!” Alex frowned. With Pepper’s grip on his neck, Bill looked suffocating as if he could die any moment now. Alex couldn’t bring himself to just stand back and watch. So, he said, “Fine, you may leave!” Anna shouted, “Alex Rockefeller!” Alex replied, “Let her go.” ‘ Dad’s death seems more and more complicated, just like a never ending intertwining ball of yarn. It makes my head hurt. According to Pepper Kimmich, could it be that Dad had some amazing power?’ Alex thought as he couldn’t wait to know about the truth any longer. Pepper’s mouth curved into a sly smile of victory. She then headed toward the gate with Bill in her arms. However, after walking in less than twenty meters, Pepper suddenly flung Bill away as her body fell backward… In the next second, the two fell together to the ground. “Assassins!” Alex and Anna rushed toward them. However, three black pearls were thrown in their direction. Anna warned everyone loudly, followed by three loud explosions. The yard was filled with thick, choking smoke. These were similar to the one Pepper used earlier, but their potency was much stronger. After the smoke dispersed, Alex rushed to check up on Bill and Pepper. With just one look, he could feel his blood run cold. A ninja star was stuck in between Pepper’s eyebrows, she had already passed from this attack. Bill, on the other hand, had it far worse than Pepper. A total of eight ninja stars were stuck on several spots of his body, it was obvious that Pepper had used him as a human shield. “Dad!” The Rockefellers rushed over and realized that Bill had no chance in surviving. Just then, everyone started panicking. John pointed toward Alex and screamed, “Alex Rockefeller, you bastard! You killed your grandfather! Even if he wasn’t your biological grandfather, he still raised you for god’s sake.
