The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 773

But the one who slapped her wasn’t Alex, it was Hailey. She disliked this woman ever since she’s heard about her. In fact, she would insult Claire behind her back multiple times. She really didn’t expect her to be so shameless as to bully Alex even after the divorce. ‘To think this woman wants to take City Salon away from him too. Well, she can dream on!’ Hailey was fuming as she shouted at Claire. “Do you have no shame? What are you thinking? How dare you try to take City Salon?” Alex stared at Claire coldly. If it weren’t for Dorothy’s sake, he would’ve slapped her long ago. He really had not seen any woman this shameless. Claire yelled. “You stupid b*tch, how dare you slap…” Smack! Hailey slapped her once more. “If you dare insult me any further, I will have the security guards beat you up. Don’t believe me? Try me then!” Claire opened her mouth, but no words came out. She still didn’t dare to go against Hailey. Claire was very biased, she feared the strong but bullied the weak. Alex would endure her tantrums and insults for Dorothy’s sake, that’s why her attitude continued to worsen. She would cross the line over and over again, making his life a living hell. It was only back when Joanne was still alive that she let the Assex family release their anger on her. This time, Hailey, a strong headed CEO, didn’t seem to be joking around. Since she said that she would take action, Claire was afraid. However, she couldn’t bear knowing that she couldn’t take City Salon. ‘This salon is like a goose that lays golden eggs!’ “Alex, you have to be reasonable here! Dorothy’s been so nice to you all this time! She was the one who fed you, she let you live with her, she bought you clothes, she even gave you ten thousand dollars as pocket money every month! How else would you have survived till this day? You can’t just claim the mutual property as your own, right? Even if you’re not leaving everything to her, you should at least give her half of the shares!” Claire said in calmly after taking a deep breath. Sharpay’s eyes widened, she was starting to panic. If Claire were to take half of City Salon’s shares, she would definitely become her boss. Sharpay would never accept this. She would stop her if she could. ‘She would definitely give me a hard time later on.’ ‘And my proposal would be all for naught! I’ve put in so much effort in the past few days! I was preparing to become more successful! But all of that would be gone!’ ‘I would have to work my *ss off for my aunt if this happens!’ Hailey laughed. “What a great dream, but reality doesn’t revolve around you. You can dream on if you think you can take half of City Salon’s shares. You want to know why? That’s because Alex still doesn’t own any of the shares, I do.” “What?” Claire was shocked. “No way, he just said that he owned the salon! Everyone knows that he’s the CEO of City Salon.” At the time, Alex was slightly confused as well. ‘What is the meaning of this?’ Hailey smiled. “Feel free to have someone investigate this if you don’t believe me! And of course he’s the CEO, because I said so! All the shares of City Salon will now be transferred to him from now on! This means that this isn’t mutual property, since he’s gotten a divorce. So City Salon has nothing to do with your daughter!” Claire’s mouth was agape. “So you’re saying that you’re just going to give City Salon to him? Why?” Hailey replied, “Why not? I want to and I’d like to, so what’s it to you anyway?” Claire asked, “Are you his sugar mommy?” Smack! Hailey slapped her again. Her voice was cold. “You really do have mouth of a b*tch, huh? Are you deaf? I just said that Alex is my godbrother! His mother, Brittany, is my godmother! My godmother had single handedly built Lush Cosmetics and made it trend across the whole country! I’m sure that it would trend across the whole world in time too! Our profits start from at least 100 million! We would definitely have a working capital of 100 billion within a year!” “Too bad you kicked your amazing son-in-law out with your very own hands. Claire Bardot, you’re the one who didn’t know how to appreciate the ones around you. Your daughter could have become the richest woman in California. Heck, she could ’ve been the richest woman in the world! But your prejudice crushed her chances of achieving that, you literally handed it to another woman.” Hailey then stared at her in mockery. Thud.
