The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 549

“Mom, Mom. What happened to you?” “D*mn it. What did you do to my mother?” When Benny and Anderson Assex saw their mother had passed out on the floor, they immediately panicked. Quickly, they picked her up. Enraged, Anderson even shoved Granny Blackwood. Benny was horrified, and quickly, be restrained Anderson from going any further. Benny had heard from Madame Joanne that Granny Blackwood was a terrifying person. Her body was supposedly covered in poison, and she could inflict parasitic diseases on anyone without even making a sound. Hence, Benny knew Granny Blackwood must have done something to his mother. He also didn’t dare hit her. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and people would see that Granny Blackwood didn’t even do anything to Madame Joanne from its footage. There was nothing to accuse her of. Alex Rockefeller frowned a little. He had asked Granny Blackwood to put Madame Joanne in a coma without being obvious about it, not expecting her to act right away and in the plain sight of everyone too. Alex, however, didn’t care anymore. Granny Blackwood spat at Anderson before chuckling coldly. “Who are you? How dare you push me? Indeed, Joanne can never give birth to anything nice. You’re just like her when she was a kid,” she said. Granny Blackwood glanced at Alex before turning around and leaving. “Hurry, send Mom to the hospital!” The Assex family had shown up as if they owned the place, but now, they scurried away like roaches. Madame Joanne, in particular, had arrived standing but left while getting carried horizontally. “If anything happens to my mother, I won’t let you off the hook,” Benny said coldly to Alex before he left. Alex let out a cynical chuckle. “Everybody knows what happened to your mother. She offended too many people out there, and she deserved this. If you want to exact revenge on me, bring it on. I’ll be ready for anything,” Alex said. He really didn’t think much of the Assex family. At this point, if Alex really wanted to deal with them, he simply had to make a few calls and the Assex family would be gone forever. He simply just wasn’t bothered. Once the Assex family had left, Jenny Cassidy raised her fair thumb at Alex. “Alex, you really are amazing. You even scared Madame Joanne off.” Jenny could be considered a long time employee of the company. She had already been around since the time Alex helped Lady Dorothy Assex establish the Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company. Hence, she and Alex knew each other. Previously, she was also Maya Howards’ subordinate and shared an even closer relationship with her. Alex snorted coldly. “This old hag knows nothing but villainy. This time, she asked for it. On the other hand, I feel bad that you were slapped because of all this. Does it still hurt?” Alex asked. “No, it’s fine. I’ll be fine after a while. Well then… Ms. Assex, I’ll get back to work. Have a good chat,” Jenny quickly said. “Alright! ” replied Lady Dorothy before pulling Alex into the CEO’s office. She then locked the door and pounced on Alex. Lady Dorothy initiated a kiss. “Honey, you saved me again,” she cooed, adding softly, “Tell me. What do you want as your reward?” Alex pondered for a moment. A playful smile then appeared on his face. He recalled that Lady Dorothy had promised to do something the other day. Hence, he whispered something into her ear. “Ahh!” When Lady Dorothy heard what he said, she immediately blushed. Her body shuddered uncontrollably as she covered her face in embarrassment. “No, no. Absolutely not…” She then peeked at Alex through the gaps in her fingers before looking around at the room. “Why don’t we go over there?” Alex looked at where she was pointing. It was a built-in bathroom in the CEO’s office. Suddenly, Alex could feel himself breathing harder, and his heart was beating faster.
