The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 422

The two remained seated, ignoring every word Ethan said. Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and his expression turned cold. “Hey, you two. I’m asking nicely for you to leave. I said that South Cali Structures would no longer be working with you.” Emma smiled brightly, still acting as cocky as ever. “Did you hear that? Why are you still here? Are you really that shameless? Oh, right, I heard you guys changed the company name to something like Dorothy-Alex Constructions and don’t have any working capital, so that means you’d go bankrupt if you don’t earn some money! Hey loser, Rockefeller. You should break it off with her while you still can. Why don’t you work as my slave? I might pity you if I’m in a good mood!” Alex replied calmly, “I think it’s still a little early to say who will be pitied in the end.” He then turned to Ethan. “Ethan Hawks, right? You’re not in charge of South Cali Structures just yet. Let’s wait till your father arrives. Only he has a say in this.” Ethan was enraged. “How dare you speak to me like that? If you insist on staying, I’ll have the guards throw the both of you out.” After that, he called for the security team and at least six guards rushed over to the waiting room. The team leader immediately greeted Ethan respectfully. “Young master Hawks, what do you need? Your wish is our command!” Ethan pointed towards Alex. “Throw this punk out.” Pointing to Dorothy next, he said, “Escort this lady out as well.” He still knew how to be a gentleman towards women at times like this. Hence, he gave separate orders to the guards for the two. The guards responded enthusiastically and were ready to throw the couple out. “Stop!” Suddenly, someone shouted at them. It was a middle-aged man who seemed quite stern. He was striding towards them. Following behind him was a woman who was wearing a standard uniform looking like a professional. Upon their arrival, the guards became frightened. They stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully. “CEO Hawks!” This man was the CEO of South Cali Structures, Thomas Hawk. Ethan went up to him and said, “Dad, your meeting ended?” Thomas narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here?” Ethan replied, “Dad, let me introduce you to someone. This is Emma Assex, my girlfriend, the one I’ve mentioned to you before. She’s from Assex Constructions. Didn’t we have a project that required a supplier? Let’s sign the contract with Assex Constructions and work together as a family!” Emma approached Thomas and greeted him with a soft smile and elegant behavior. “Hello, Mr. Hawks, I’m Emma. I didn’t expect you to look so young! I would’ve thought you were Ethan’s brother if I didn’t know better!” She was trying her best to get on his good side as her smile grew brighter and sweeter. However, Thomas remained expressionless towards her. “Really?” Emma’s abilities were limited, she couldn’t read the room at all. She couldn’t even tell that Thomas was bothered. She continued smiling sweetly. “Yes! You look so young and handsome. If we were to walk next to each other, people might think we’re a couple!” Alex couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Thomas looked extremely upset. He shot a dirty glare at Ethan. ‘How could you be into such morons? Are you blind?’ He suppressed his anger and ignored her, turning towards Alex and Dorothy instead. “You’re Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller from Dorothy-Alex Constructions?” Alex nodded. “I’m Alex Rockefeller and this is my wife, Dorothy Assex.” Thomas smiled. “Sorry for being late, my meeting was slightly delayed. Come, let’s go into my office. I’ve prepared the contract.”
