The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 542

One could only imagine how terrifying it must be when these worms became fully developed in one’s body. “What… What are these things?” Lady Dorothy Assex questioned in bewilderment. At this moment, Madame Claire Assex was too afraid to move, so she allowed Alex Rockefeller to do whatever he wanted. All the hair on her body stood on their ends. Lady Beatrice Assex had also woken up, and she was looking at them with her eyes wide open. “These are all parasitic worms,” Cheryl Coney said. Cheryl didn’t know why Alex said she was the one who saved Lady Dorothy, but after giving it some thought, she decided to cooperate with Alex. “Parasitic worms? As in the parasitic worms in Canyonland? You mean… are they just like the worms Blue Phoenix used in the martial arts television show, The Smiling Proud Wanderer?” Lady Beatrice had a look of disbelief on her face. Although she felt afraid, the look in her eyes conveyed some sort of excitement. It was because she was a fan of martial arts and had always had a dreamt to become a female martial artist since she was a kid. When the masked man saved her that day, he opened her eyes to the world of martial arts. Meanwhile, the appearance of this parasitic disease from Canyonland allowed Lady Beatrice to sense that world’s beauty and mystery. Alex glanced at her, feeling rather speechless. ‘Aren’t you afraid anymore?’ he thought. Although Lady Beatrice wasn’t. afraid, Madame Claire was terrified out of her wits. When Madame Claire realized that the worms in Alex’s hand had originated from her stomach, she shuddered, getting the sudden urge to slice her stomach open and remove her organs to get them cleaned. Otherwise, it was simply too disgusting. “Alright. That should be all,” Alex said before letting go of Madame Claire. He grabbed a tissue and rubbed her stomach for her. Madame Claire trembled slightly, but her eyes immediately turned red, and she started yelling while pointing a finger at Alex. “It must be because of you, you idiot. That’s why Beatrice and I had to suffer like this! Look at you. Aren’t you useless? You’re brainless too. Is your head full of crap? That woman has already said that Ms. Fernandez from California Plaza has the backing of Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Lord Lex Gunther. Think you can afford to mess with Lord Lex Gunther? With a single command, he can make us suffer beyond reason. Do you understand?” Alex was already very unhappy after getting slapped for no reason earlier. Now, Madame Claire was pointing and yelling at him. This time, he became furious. Wham! Alex slapped Madame Claire’s thigh forcefully. “Lord Lex Gunther is nothing! Don’t you have any idea who inflicted the parasitic disease upon you? Have you lost your mind? If you were poisoned because of that California Plaza woman who licked toilet bowls, where did Dorothy’s poison come from then?” Madame Claire yelped in pain, but she also acknowledged what Alex said, and looked at her eldest laughter in surprise. “Dorothy, were you poisoned too?” Lady Dorothy nodded. “Mom, were you in California Plaza? What happened? Why is Lord Lex Gunter from Thousand Miles Conglomerate involved?” Madame Clare angrily explained what happened. She hated Vanya Tyler for her barbaric and shameless attitude, but she was also afraid that Penelope Fernandez and Lord Lex Gunther might exact revenge on her. In the end, she blamed everything on Alex and vented on him. “It’s all thanks to this idiot. If he hadn’t hit that little b*tch, Vanya, why would this happen to us? Great. Now, Vanya’s mother definitely won’t let us off the hook. There’s also Lord Lex Gunther. When the time comes, not only will Alex be in trouble, but our entire family will be in trouble! Dorothy, let’s do this. You will get a divorce with him right away. In the future, he will have nothing to do with our family. Whether he lives or dies, it’s his own problem,” Madame Clare said. Alex was very familiar with Madame Claire’s sharp tongue. He just acted as if she was spewing nonsense. However, Cheryl was extremely angry when she heard these things. “Alex, I heard from Chloe previously that your mother-in-law is extremely stingy and selfish. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. I didn’t quite believe it at first. Today, I’ve really learned the truth. I’ve met unreasonable people before, but I’ve never seen one this shameless.” “Today, Alex was the one who took care of everything for you. Without him, the two of you would have been forced to lick toilet bowls.” “Earlier, he already explained clearly that you somehow caused someone to poison you with this parasitic disease. How dare you blame this on Alex? Do you people think he’s easy to bully? How could people like you exist?” “Do you want a divorce? Do it then! Alex, why do you still care about a marriage like this? Get a divorce right away. I’ll come with you. Once you get divorced, we’ll get registered to marry next door!” Everyone in the Assex family looked at Cheryl with stunned expressions on their faces. Soon, Madame Claire started yelling. “Oh, Alex. I knew there was something going on between the two of you. You even swore you’d be loyal to Dorothy and make her the richest woman in California. It’s all a lie! Dorothy, why do you still want a jerk like him around? Divorce him. Divorce him right now! He’s gotten into trouble with Lord Lex Gunther. Let this shameless woman deal with Lord Lex Gunther’s rage instead!” Just as Madame Claire finished speaking, a car stopped in front of the villa. Lord Lex Gunther opened the car door and walked out of the car with a handful of Chanel shopping bags.
