The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 454

Alex Rockefeller took his phone out, clicked on an audio file and started speaking. “Coincidentally, I recorded our conversation earlier. For those interested, let’s listen to it together!” As soon as the audio file started playing, Jackie Luden’s face turned pale. When Senna Summers heard Jackie asking Hailey Lawson to be with him for seven days, her eyes became filled with rage. “Jackie Lude, you jerk! How could you do this to me?!” Although one of Senna’s legs was broken, she was a martial artist. She hopped up with a single leg and started hitting Jackie, nearly killing him with her blows. In the end, many bones in Jackie’s arms and ribs were broken. Most importantly, his penis had been snapped off too. Senna was truly a violent woman. Alex felt indifferent when he heard Jackie crying in pain. Eventually, Hailey tugged at Alex’s shirt. “If she continues to hit him, he’s going to die,” she said. Alex finally spoke. “Alright, you two can fight outside. You’re too annoying.” “I don’t have a husband like him. From now on, there is nothing between us,” Senna said. Everyone looked at Jackie as if he was a dead dog. With his penis broken, it was difficult for him to even be in a relationship again. Right then, Betty Dawson, who was originally standing in the background, suddenly stepped forward. She forcefully kicked Jackie a few times before kneeling in front of Hailey. “Mrs. Carter, Mr. Rockefeller, please forgive me. Jackie Luden, this jerk, encouraged me to cause trouble at Belle Blossom last time. I knew I was allergic to seafood, and I only agreed to help him because he gave me twenty million dollars. I was wrong. I really was wrong,” Betty said. “Mr. Rockefeller, I don’t want a divorce. I can’t live without my husband. Please forgive me. Give me a chance to change my ways and be a good person. If I can’t do it, I’ll die from being struck by lightning or by getting run over by a car,” she added. Betty still had some brains. Most importantly, she knew that Alex was the person she needed to appease. Alex looked at Ted Summers. “Ted, this is your family matter, so you deal with it. However, marriage is not easy. If you can, try to cherish it. There’s no harm in giving her a chance either.” There was a saying that it was better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Alex had in some ways given Betty another chance. Ted kicked Betty once. “Leave and go home. I’ll deal with you later,” he said. When Betty heard this, she hurriedly thanked Alex and left with a smile on her face. Alex believed that she would have learned her lesson after this ordeal. Soon, Jackie and the Summers family left. Serena had a slightly unnatural expression on her face. “Mrs. Carter, I’ve given it some thought. I think we can continue our existing contract,” she said to Hailey. Hailey was happy, and was about to nod her head when Alex started speaking. “We can continue the existing contract, but you must offer us 10% more of the profit share.” Serena was shocked. “What? 10%? You’re dreaming.” “20%,” Alex said calmly. Serena was outraged. “Absolutely impossible. Even if you have a close relationship with the Summers family, this simply isn’t possible.” Alex smiled. “I’ll wait for you to come to me. Remember, you only have seven days. After seven days, you won’t have any time left. I’ll give you an extra piece of information. Tomorrow morning, a black spot will appear below your belly button. After that, it will keep getting bigger. Once the black mark spreads to your heart, you’ll die,” Alex said. “Get lost! Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re a demi-god?” Senna was so angry that her body was trembling. Throughout her nearly-forty years of living, Serena had never been as angry as she was today. “Remember my name. It’s Alex Rockefeller!” Alex said before dragging Hailey out of the villa. Hailey seemed a little anxious. “Little brother, is she really going to come to you?” “Don’t worry. She will,” Alex said confidently.
