The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 321

Dorothy was also stunned because she had been to Alex’s house before and knew it wasn’t a lie that it was at Maple Villa 8. It couldn’t be possible that Charles had taken back the villa and sold it to her sister and her family, right? Adrianna’s family, on the other hand, owned a small business. Their annual income was only about five hundred thousand dollars, so how was it possible that they could purchase a villa in that area, one that cost tens of millions? Adrianna looked at Alex coldly. “What do you mean? Do you think I’m lying? Is there even a need to lie to a piece of trash like you? Do you think I have so much time on my hands?” Alex curled his lips. “I’m just being kind and reminding you not to be fooled by liars. By then, not only will you not have a house, you won’t even have your money.” Adrianna was triggered by his remark, slapping her hand on the table. “Are you cursing our family? You just can’t stand seeing others getting good things, can you? If you keep your mouth shut, no one will think you’re mute. You came here for a free meal and even ran your mouth. A useless piece of garbage like you deserve to be driven out by the Rockefeller family. You’ll never be able to live in a high-end area like Maple Villa for your entire life.” “That’s right. Whatever your mother said about defeating the Rockefeller Group, it’s just empty words and bragging. If your mother really can top the Rockefeller Group within the three months, I’ll take my head off and let you use it as a stool,” Sharpay scoffed. Alex really wanted to respond with an, “Even if you take that empty, brainless head off for me to use a stool, I wouldn’t want it.” Seeing the look on Dorothy’s face, however, he kept it inside. Dorothy frowned. “Aunt, how much did it cost for you to buy this Maple Villa 8?” “We poured out all our family’s savings, so it was more than two million dollars,” proclaimed Taylor proudly. “That’s impossible, no? How could two million dollars be enough? A classmate’s relative lives in Maple Villa too. I heard that it’s the lowest end villa, but it had cost almost ten million dollars when they bought it. With just two million dollars, you can’t even buy a three-bedroom apartment in California’s suburbs, right?” Beatrice exclaimed. When Claire had heard that her younger sister’s family had bought a house in Maple Villa, and seeing how her sister and brother-in-law were showing off all sorts of things, she had become extremely depressed. However, at this time, she chose to speak up. “Sister, Brother-in-law, it looks like there’s really a problem here.” Adrianna snorted. “What do you all know? This house was half-given and half-bought. It was Sharpay’s boyfriend who gave it to us. The house’s original owner was our future son-in-law’s friend, and because the business was losing money, be lowered the price and sold it. The total cost was actually around ten million, but the remaining eight million was paid-off by Josh.” So, this Josh she was talking about must be Sharpay’s boyfriend. “Sharpay changed her boyfriend so quickly?” Alex couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Sharpay rolled her eyes. “It’s none of your business!” Alex and Dorothy looked for a chance and stepped outside. “What’s going on? Isn’t Maple Villa 8 your house? How did it suddenly become aunt’s house? Did Charles sell it?” asked Dorothy. “You heard the nonsense they sprouted. I think Sharpay had most likely met a fake boyfriend once again,” said Alex. “The point is, they’re too deep in their daydreams right now and won’t listen to reason. Forget it. We’ll see how things turn out tomorrow. Oh, I’m really looking forward to seeing their expressions when they realize they’re not getting the house. It’s definitely going to be hilarious.” Dorothy laughed, looking forward to it as well. *** The night passed quickly. Alex slept at Maple Villa 8 until about half-past eight when he received a call from Dorothy saying they had already left and were headed towards Maple Villa. Adrianna hadn’t been able to sleep due to the excitement of getting to the house. She shook up the entire house at four in the morning by causing a ruckus and disrupting everyone else’s sleep. Alex was speechless. It wasn’t until nine in the morning that he received another call, saying that they were stopped at the entrance and could not get in. Alex could only give the guards at the entrance a call, then had to wait in the middle of the road within the community area. “Huh, Rockefeller, why are you within Maple Villa so early in the morning? Do you want to see our big villa that much? Hmph, I’ll let you off this time. Without us, you probably couldn’t even set foot in this area!” harrumphed Adrianna proudly. Alex was left speechless once again. She was oblivious to the fact that if he hadn’t come out just now, they really wouldn’t have been able to get in at all!
