The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 470

On the road, Madame Claire Assex was talking to Alex Rockefeller in excitement. “Alex, I can’t believe you’re Stone Gambling Prince. You’ve kept it a fine secret. With such amazing abilities, you must have started out a long time ago. Why did Dorothy have to work so hard to run a company? Why don’t we go stone gambling later? We’ll earn lots of money. What do you think, my good son-in-law?” All of a sudden, Alex had turned into a good son-in-law. “Mother, I was just lucky that day. Did you really think I was a stone gambling expert? If I were to go stone gambling again, I’m afraid you might not even have pants to wear,” Alex said. When Madame Claire heard this, she felt like a deflated balloon. But quickly, she continued, “What about the jadeite? I don’t believe what you told Mr. Lee. You had moved out for a long time when that happened.” “I sold it,” Alex said. “Where’s the money?” Madame Claire asked. “I gave it to my mother.” “What? Did you give all of it to your mother? Am I not your mother-in-law? How could you not give me a single cent? Such a good son-in-law you are,” Madame Claire snapped, obviously furious. “Mother, my mother-in-law intends to do great things with that money. She’ll be using it for business. What would you use it for? You’d either spend it on stocks or buy all sorts of useless stuff. You even went stone gambling after watching other people do it. I’ll tell you, you are not allowed to go again. Honey, you’re not allowed either! You’ll lose nine times out of ten. If that happens, our family will go bankrupt. Do you understand?” Lady Dorothy said. “Yes, honey!” Alex made a verbal promise, but he was thinking about when he could go gambling again in his heart. *** Meanwhile, at the Assex family’s place, Madame Joanne was with Anderson Assex and his daughter. “Grandma, you didn’t get to see the poor state Madame Claire Assex was in. Her nose was bruised, and her face, swollen up. She was even howling like a dog on the ground. It felt great! Moreover, we destroyed everything in her house. Haha! I’d like to see where else they can move to,” Lady Emma Assex gushed enthusiastically. Madame Joanne seemed filled with excitement. “Good. We need to teach these b*tches a lesson.” Lady Emma suddenly took something out of her pocket. “Grandma, look what I found. It’s a pearl necklace. I remember Madame Claire used to wear it, and she treated it like a treasure. I’ve taken it away. It’s a gift for you, Grandma! Madame Claire doesn’t deserve something so fine. You should wear it, Grandma.” Lady Emma joyously helped Madame Joanne put it on. “It looks beautiful. It really doesn’t seem out of place,” she complimented. Madame Joanne chuckled. “My dear granddaughter, you’re the best.” But at that moment, Tony Lee charged into the house with a group of uniformed subordinates. Tony waved his hand. “Arrest them all! ” he said. Madame Joanne was shocked. “It’s you, Mr. Lee. What are you people doing here? Who are you arresting?” Alex, who came in after Tony and his team, glanced at the pearl necklace around Madame Joanne’s neck. He sneered. “Who else could they arrest? of course, it’s you, you old thief. I’ve learned something new today. Could it be the case where all your wealth is the result of theft? Does it feel good wearing someone else’s necklace? Good. It won’t be a necklace you’ll be wearing now but a pair of handcuffs instead,” said Alex. Tony gave the order, and his subordinates immediately subdued all three members of the Assex family. “You’ve been suspected of burglary, trespassing, assault, and vandalizing private property. There is a particularly large amount of money involved here. You are under arrest!” “Arrest all of them and bring them back!” “Click!” When a pair of handcuffs were placed around Madame Joanne’s wrists, her eyes rolled upward, and she passed out.
