The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 451

Hailey Lawson stopped herself from panicking. “You have no say on this matter!” Jackie Luden was actually in some ways related to Hailey. They were both from the same village that belonged to a tribe of people known as the Lazeroth clan. Most of the people who lived in the village were from this clan. Back then, Jackie even specifically asked Hailey for advice about running a beauty salon. Since they were both from the same village, Hailey generously shared her knowledge with him. In fact, she even lent him a large amount of money at the beginning for his start-up capital. But to her surprise, Jackie actually secretly coveted her beauty and wanted to sleep with her using dirty tricks. Fortunately, Hailey realized this before it happened, and the two of them had been on unfriendly terms ever since. Originally, Jackie’s City Salon was no match for Belle Blossom. But, Jackie surprisingly managed to get acquainted with a woman from the Summers family. Since then, City Salon’s popularity skyrocketed and it became one of the top three beauty salons in California, it became a direct competitor to Belle Blossom. Jackie sneered. “Indeed, it’s not up to me. But this is Ms. Wai’s decision. I’m merely her messenger. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ms. Wai yourself.” Before Hailey could ask, Serena Wai spoke coldly. “Ms. Lawson, I asked you to come over to personally tell you that Arles Cosmetics will not be renewing its contract with Belle Blossom. I’m doing this so that your employees won’t keep harassing our company.” Hailey became anxious. “Ms. Wai, why are you doing this? Haven’t we been working well together? If you think there’s anything in the contract that needs to be amended, we are willing to cooperate. We’re also willing to offer a higher profit share to you. What do you think if we lower our side of the profits earned by 3%?” Serena sneered and looked at Jackie. “That won’t be necessary. Arles Cosmetics will be signing a contract with Jackie’s City Salon.” Hailey immediately looked bitter. She knew that Jackie must have influenced this decision. “Hailey. To be honest, I can offer you Arles Cosmetics’ products at the original price, but under one condition,” Jackie suddenly said. “What condition is that?” “You must be with me for a week.” Jackie chuckled. “You shameless man!” When Alex heard this, he too became angry and glared coldly at Jackie. Hailey turned to look at Serena. “Ms. Wai, did you hear that? Do you see what kind of a person he is? He’s a despicable, shameless man. He even has the guts to say such things in front of you. I’m sure you can see how bad his character is. Working with such a person will only ruin Arles Cosmetics’ branding.” Unexpectedly, Serena just chuckled coldly. “Are you done talking? If you are, please leave! I have to discuss some details of our partnership with Mr. Luden.” “You…” Hailey really wanted to turn around and leave, but she had to keep trying for her beauty salon. “Ms. Wai, let’s keep the business talk aside. I know you’re in California this time mainly because you’re seeking medical treatment. Coincidentally, my little brother here is a miracle doctor. Why don’t you let him have a look?” Jackie started laughing loudly. “Your little brother? Hailey, since when did you have a little brother? Why have I never known about it? I don’ t think your mother gave birth to another son, did she? I’m afraid… This might be your gigolo. Is he? Tsk, tsk. I thought you’re a pure woman, but it turns out that you’re just a regular sl*t. Is it because Mr. Carter doesn’t have what it takes to please you? Is that why you looked for someone who’s better in bed?” Wham! Jackie was slapped forcefully as soon as he finished speaking. “This slap is for being disrespectful,” Alex said coldly. Jackie didn’t think Alex would dare hit him here, so he was stunned. After that, Alex slapped him again. This time, it was even harder. Jackie’s nose started to bleed. “This slap is for insulting Hailey,” Alex added. After being slapped twice, Jackie immediately became furious. “You piece of sh*t. How dare you hit me?” Wham!
