The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 475

Swoosh! Claire, clad in a bikini, dived into the pool like a mermaid, her jade-white legs alternately kicking the water. It was exceptionally accurate. Alex stood by the door, watching her for half a minute with an indifferent look on his face. When it was confirmed she wasn’t going to leave the water any time soon, he quietly retreated. In a flash, he entered the room that Claire had chosen. On the spacious Simmons mattress were some of Clare’s clothes, thrown randomly on it. His sharp eyes glanced around lightning fast, searching for the pearl necklace. He finally found it under a pair of black undergarments. Naturally, he was looking for the necklace to study the secrets the pale, golden pearl held. If those complicated blood-tunic scriptures had indeed been laid down by William, then it could be inferred that his father was by no means the ordinary person he had portrayed himself to be, and a mere car accident wouldn’t have been enough to kill him. Then, the culprit really had to be someone else. His mother’s guess could probably be true. The question was, who was it? His heart was heavy, filled with concern as he grabbed the black undergarment and put it aside. Just before he could grab the item, someone rushed in. It was Beatrice. She pointed at Alex and shouted furiously, “Alex, you big pervert! You’re actually here to steal my mother’s… How could you be so disgusting?! Ahhh! I’m going crazy! How could such a person like you exist in this world?!” Alex was dumbfounded, embarrassed to be caught in the middle of such a scene. At that moment, Dorothy, having heard the commotion, also rushed in. “What’s the matter? Why are you arguing again?” Beatrice pointed at Alex again. “Sister, look at this yourself! The man you have is extremely disgusting, trying to steal mother’s… If he wanted to steal yours, or even mine, it wouldn’t sound as crazy, but he actually wants to steal mother’s? Is he even still human? If it were me, I’d divorce him immediately. Today.” Dorothy looked at what Alex was holding. A buzzing sound filled her head, and it felt like it was about to explode at any moment. How could she look past this incident and endure it?! “No, no, no, my wife, you’ve misunderstood…” Alex fumbled in a panicked state, quickly tossing whatever was in his hand. “You… How could you do something like this? If you wanted it, couldn’t you have come to me instead? You didn’t have to steal… Oh, I really have no face left to see other people now.” Dorothy’s face was flushed with rage. She ran into her room, slamming the door behind her, not about to come out anytime soon. Alex was speechless. He looked at Beatrice with disgust on his face. As he grabbed the pearl necklace, he said, “You’ve really misunderstood. I wanted to look at the pearl necklace. It really isn’t what you think it is.” Beatrice didn’t believe him at all. “Hmph! You dared to do it, but you dare not admit it? I’m so ashamed of you. Get out. Hurry up and get out! I won’t tell my mom because you helped me beat up the bad guys last time, but I don’t owe you anything else after this.” Finally, she spat out the words ‘disgusting’ before pushing him out of the room. She snatched back the necklace too. Alex headed over to Dorothy’s room and knocked on the door. For a long time, she didn’t respond. In the end, Alex had to leave the villa in a depressed state. Then, he left Senna Port. Alex gave his mother, Brittany a call. After some trivial chats about daily lives, Alex asked, “Mom, do you still remember the pearl necklace that Dad gave me as a greeting gift when I went to Assex Villa to meet Dorothy’s mother for the first time?” Brittany said, “Of course I do. Your father also strung a precious golden pearl in it. The whole necklace is worth at least eight million dollars.” Having said that, she got angry. “Our family has treated your mother-in-law so well, but I couldn’t believe that she’s such a snob! Son, if you’re being mistreated at Assex Villa, then you should really, just divorce! It’s better to just get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony!” “Don’t worry, Mom. She’s much better now after that incident… Besides, you think she could really do anything to me with my capabilities? If she were to really irritate me, I’ll just give her a big tight slap.” “Tsk, who would believe you! ” “Why not? I had beaten her up last time, and Dorothy didn’t say anything about it either.” “Are you serious? You even dared to beat up your own mother-in-law?” “Of course! By the way, Mom, let me ask you about my father… Why did he insist on giving this string of pearls to my mother-in-law? Was there any special reason for it?” Brittany said, “I really don’t know about this. Your father did things on a whim sometimes, who knew what was really going on in his mind that time?” Alex continued to ask, “You’ve been with Dad for so many years, Mom. Did you ever think he was special? As in, maybe somewhat mysterious?” Brittany was puzzled. “Why are you asking this? What was special about your father? The most special thing about him wasn’t anyone special at all.” Okay! Alex knew that there was nothing he could ask his mother anymore on this. However, she continued, “Alex, we need to find someone to endorse our product line in Lush Cosmetics. I’ve been in a coma for half a year, so I’m not really familiar with the entertainment industry. Do you have any recommended candidates who could endorse our products?” Alex smiled immediately and said, “What do you think of Zendaya, Mom?” “Zendaya?” Brittany exclaimed. “You’re really overestimating your mom. Of course I know who Zendaya is. She’s already extremely popular since a year ago, and I’m still a fan of hers. Speaking of which, I really miss her concerts. I wonder if she’s still holding them now? But she was already both queen superstar and national songstress at that time, I’m sure she should be even more remarkable now. How could we afford such a superstar?” Alex was taken aback Never did he expect that his own mother would also be a fan of Zendaya. He smiled. “She might agree. It’s like this, I have a good friend that has some connections with Zendaya. I’ll ask if she’s willing to help.” Brittany instantly said, “That’s great! If you really could invite Zendaya as our endorser, our products will definitely be popular all over the country.” Once the conversation with Brittany was over, Alex immediately called Zendaya, asking her out for a meal or something along those lines. Zendaya apologetically said, “I’m so sorry, Alex. I have been busy preparing recently because of the concert that I’ll be rehosting in California, so I really don’t have the time to go out for a meal. If you have anything, you could come to my villa instead, does that work?” Alex thought about it for a bit, before nodding his head. “Sure, I’ll head over now.” Once he hung up, he didn’t head for Golden Manor immediately, but took a detour home first. After grabbing three sets of Lush Cosmetic series products, only then did he rush over to the villa. If he ever wanted Zendaya to endorse their products, naturally he needed to let her see what the product looked like first. Alex arrived at Zendaya’s villa by car at 5 pm. Before he got out of the car, he saw Zendaya who was already standing at the entrance of the villa daintily, as though she had been waiting for him. The two looked at each other through the car window, as if something inexplicable and unknown were growing inside them. Alex opened the door and got down. “Miss Zendaya…” At this time, another car rushed in. A young man emerged from the vehicle quickly once it stopped. The young man strode over quickly. “Zendaya, you’re too courteous. You actually waited to welcome me at the entrance in person when you knew I was coming. Don’t do it again next time. Although I know that you can’t wait to see me, you also need to be more aware. Don’t ever let your hardcore fans whatsoever see you, or they’d keep coming to harass you!” Then, he turned to look at Alex. “Hey, who are you? This is a private property. If you want to chase after your idol, you should respect her privacy. Please leave quickly, or else my bodyguard will teach you how to be a proper person.”
