The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 653

“Alex Rockefeller? Which Alex Rockefeller?” Adrianna froze, she felt that this name was oddly familiar. It was mainly because she usually didn’t refer to Alex by his name, she just called him a loser or trash. Taylor asked, “He couldn’t be Dorothy’s ex-husband, right?” Only then did Adrianna remember that the trashy husband that Dorothy had just divorced was indeed called Alex Rockefeller. She huffed disdainfully. “How could it be that trash? If it really was him, I’d eat my shoe… Sharpay, don’t keep us guessing. Hurry and explain clearly.” Sharpay said, “You should eat your shoe first!” Adrianna was slightly annoyed as she said, “I said, if… Ah, wait. So, you’re saying that your CEO really is that trashy Rockefeller? He’s the owner of City Salon? But, how could that be?” Sharpay huffed coldly. “Well, it’s the truth. There’s more to this too, I can guarantee that you’re going to question your whole life after this.” She then proceeded and told them everything that happened during the afternoon. She told them that Alex was the CEO of City Salon and the boss of Lush Cosmetics, Lord Lex and the captain of the officials had to pay utmost respect to him. Moreover, his fighting skills were terrifying… Adrianna and Taylor were extremely appalled to every bit of it, as if they were listening to the unbelievable stories of The Arabian Nights. “Sharpay, are you sure that you’re talking about Alex Rockefeller?” Adrianna felt as if this person she was talking about was nowhere near how she remembered Alex as he was. “Of course, I am. I even insulted him at first, and my manager slapped me for it! Mom, I’ve made up my mind. I have to date him.” Sharpay’s declaration shocked the spouses, their eyes widened with their mouths agape. Taylor disagreed on the spot. “He’s Dorothy’s husband. They just divorced and you’re trying to date him already? Isn’t that kind of immoral?” However, Adrianna slapped him on the thigh. “So what? If Alex really was as powerful as Sharpay said so, what’s with chasing after him? Since both of them are single, then they are just right… Say, how could my sister not know how powerful he is? Why did he hide his capabilities this much?” Taylor huffed as she said, “Of course, your sister must’ve insulted him too harshly! He didn’t tell her because he was upset!” Adrianna pondered and agreed immediately. “This lunatic had such a wealthy son-in-law, yet she insisted on chasing him away! Well, it’s good news for us anyway. Sharpay, Dorothy is nowhere near better than you. I support you in this! Go chase after him, seduce him! When he becomes my son-in-law later, we’d be rich!” Sharpay said, “But you mustn‘t tell anyone else, especially Auntie and the others. Alex said if I were to expose him, he’d have Lord Lex from Thousand Miles to drown all of us in a river. I witnessed a few thugs who were taken away to be drowned today.” The spouses fell silent. Adrianna then said, “Do you think I’m stupid? Of course, I won’t tell anyone else. If that snobbish aunt of yours were to know about this, she’d definitely ask Dorothy to get back with him. We can tell them after he becomes my son-in-law. So you have to give your all, Sharpay. Since Alex had just gotten a divorce, he must b e down in the dumps. This is the best time to get with him since he’s vulnerable. Don’t miss this chance.” *** Just as Adrianna was planning with her family on how to have Sharpay seduce Alex, Alex was watching a movie with Dorothy in the cinema. It was an unpopular romance movie. There were very few audiences, with only six of them in total in the hall. They were all couples. Almost none of them were there to actually watch the movie. A couple was hugging each other in their seats as they kissed passionately. The insuppressible sounds that they were making made Dorothy blush… However, Alex wasn’t keeping his hands to himself as well, causing her whole body to shudder. She wasn’t able to focus on the movie at all. She stood up abruptly. Alex thought that she was mad, so he hurriedly grabbed her arm. “Darling, what’s wrong?” Dorothy whispered, “I saw you’re in a hurry. I just can’t focus on the movie at all. Let’s go home.” Alex was slightly upset. “It’ s still early though, why are we going back now?” “Oh, you dummy. We’re going back to your place.” “…” Alex was overjoyed in that instant. However, be snapped back to reality very soon. He remembered that both Waltz and Michelle were still back in Maple Villa. He had met up with Lord Lex a while ago. They had decided to split into two teams and head to the destination separately later. Waltz went with Alex. ‘If we were to go back now, how would we get down to business?’ ‘They might even fight each other, if worse comes to worst.’ He immediately suggested, “Let’s go to the hotel.” Dorothy glared at him with her beautiful eyes. “Are you hiding your mistress at home? Is it an inconvenience for you?” “N… No!” Alex hurriedly thought of an excuse. “Darling, do you remember why we need to fake the divorce? That’s because people around me have been spying on me. Maple Villa is definitely a red zone for us, we have to be cautious of them… Let’s go now too, this place is inconvenient. Wear your mask and hat, I’ll tell you more once we reach the hotel.” Dorothy couldn’t help but feel very anxious by his words.
