The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 528

Granny Blackwood flicked some barely noticeable parasitic worms into the swimming pool. Her odd behavior made Claire Assex unhappy. Claire saw how ugly Granny Blackwood appeared. In fact, Claire found her disgusting and her expression annoying. “Hey, who are you? Why are you standing here? Get out right now. What are you looking at?” Claire pointed at Granny Blackwood and yelled. Granny Blackwood chuckled and bared her yellowing teeth. “You’ve got a sharp tongue. Indeed, you are very annoying. Enjoy your final moments of happiness. You will soon never be able to swim again.” “What nonsense are you saying, old hag? How dare you curse me?” I’ll get someone to knock your teeth out. You’re so old that you might as well be dead. Why are you saying such nonsense here? Are you actually a mad person?” Claire yelled angrily as she jumped up and down. Granny Blackwood was immediately infuriated. She wanted to teach this b*tch a lesson. Hence, she grabbed another parasitic worm and flicked it into Claire’s blabbering mouth. “Ahh… Mmph…” “What was that? Was it a bug?” Claire could feel something, but she thought it was just a tiny insect and didn’t care about it. Granny Blackwood laughed eerily before turning around and leaving. Unfortunately, she didn’t manage to find Alex Rockefeller. She would have to make another attempt. That night, Claire couldn’t sleep well at all. She kept feeling itchy all over her body and couldn’t resist scratching the itchy spots. Her belly felt especially itchy. It was almost as if a bug was biting at her from the inside. She scratched it repeatedly. In the end, she woke up to find a lot of bloody scratch marks on her fair belly, giving her a huge fright. In comparison, Dorothy Assex and Beatrice Assex seemed fine. The next day, Dorothy went to work. “Mom, school is starting in a few days, but I haven’t bought any new clothes for a long time. I want to buy some clothes. Will you buy me some, please?” Beatrice asked Claire. “Can’t you wear the clothes you bought during the first half of the year?” Claire asked. “I told you. You ruined the clothes. Even the white ones have turned black. How am I supposed to wear those? People will think that we’re so poor that we have to scavenge on the streets!” Beatrice exclaimed. Claire nodded. “You’re not wrong, but I don’t have any money. I’ve already spent all of the 100,000 dollars your sister gave me last time.” “What? What did you spend it on?” “I’m your mother. Why are you questioning what I do with my money?” “What will I do?” Claire rolled her eyes when she recalled that she still had a son-in-law. “Isn’t there a simple solution to this? Go look for Alex, that useless man. His mother is running some company called Lush Cosmetics. She must have some money with her. I doubt she’d cut him off.” Claire immediately called Alex on the phone. “Alex, accompany Beatrice and I to the shopping mall.” Alex was lying down while putting on a medicated face mask. “What? You want me to go with you to the shopping mall? But why?” Alex wondered if the sun had risen in the west. His mother-in-law would never do such a thing otherwise. “Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up, come pick us up. You’re my son-in-law. Also, Beatrice and I are naturally beautiful. What if bad men follow and hurt us when we’re out on our own?” Claire asked. Claire was good with her words and she had a way of convincing Alex. Left without a choice, Alex abided. Soon, the three of them arrived at California Plaza. It was considered the top-rated shopping mall in California. Claire directly led Beatrice into a Chanel store. To her surprise, there was another young lady buying clothes there too. When the young lady saw Beatrice, she laughed coldly. “Aren’t you the pretty but poor girl from school, Beatrice Assex? How dare you step into a Chanel store? Can you even afford stuff here? And isn’t your mother a widow? Did she find you a rich stepfather? That can’t be. Your stepfather is wearing cheap clothes. Why is your mother still so terrible with her choices of men.
