The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 780

The woman who got out of the car was Brittany, who hadn’t been back for quite a while. After realizing who it was, Claire almost wanted to run away and make an escape. Brittany noticed her nervousness and smiled coldly as she approached Claire. “So, Ms. Bardot, why have you been waiting at my house?” Claire clenched her fists to muster up more courage. She smiled and said, “Oh, hello, you just came back, my dear in-law, I… ” Brittany interrupted her. “Stop right there, we’re no longer in-laws, don’t call me that.” Claire smiled awkwardly. “Oh don’t say that. Once in-laws, always in-laws, right?” Brittany’s expression darkened. “Claire Bardot, what are you even saying? My son has gotten a divorce with your daughter, so how are we still in-laws? Our family doesn’t have the luck to be your in-laws! Just tell me what you’re here for. But I’ll have you know that we don’t welcome you. ” Claire insulted Brittany in all the ways she could in her mind. However, she continued to put up a smile. “Well, I’m just here to talk to Alex.” Brittany refused. “Talk to me instead!” “Uhm… Well, alright! Our children’s divorced was just caused by a misunderstanding! I have wronged Alex in the past, so it ended in such a way. I noticed that both of them had been quite miserable after the divorce, so I’m starting to regret my decision. That’s why I’m suggesting for them to remarry. They’ve been through a lot, and it hasn‘ t been easy. I admit to my mistakes now, so please, my dear in-law, I promise to treat Alex as my own.” Claire’s father was a professor and she had studied in university as well, so she definitely had a way with words. Upon listening to this, Brittney‘s rage went down significantly. No one would ever got angry at someone who spoke nicely. However, Brittany had never considered letting her son get back together with Dorothy. “What’s the point in changing things now? They’ve divorced, so why remarry? Do you think you can put a shattered mirror back together?” Claire was quite a dramatic person and would do anything for money. She slapped herself, looking extremely pitiful as she cried. “This is all my fault! The two children love each other so much, so deeply! I’ve watched them grow together when you were still in a coma. The one who interfered was Joanne!” “When tragedy struck your family, the old lady just refused to let them get married. My daughter had to stab herself in the heart to be able to marry him! You have no idea how frightening it was. Alex had stabbed himself for her a few days ago too! These two just love each other too much!” She even managed to let a few drops of tears stream down her cheeks. Brittany seemed slightly swayed. She glared at Claire. “And now you’re regretting your actions? Did you forget how you treated my son in the past?” Claire said, “Oh in-law, you’re a mother too, so you should be able to understand. Before you woke up, all your son did was take care of you. He didn’t earn a single penny, he even asked our family for money every single month! Do you know just how people gossiped about us behind our backs? They said that we’ve found a loser as our son-in-law! But my daughter is one of the prettiest girls in California.” “Dorothy may not mind the insults, but I’m her mother and I felt upset for her! I’m a widow, and my daughter is finally becoming more successful now, yet my son-in-law did nothing but burden us! What do you expect me to do? But now that you’re awake, I’m not as upset anymore. Let’s just let the two children be. I can tell just how miserable Alex feels.” Brittany was a reasonable person and she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh when Claire spoke in such a nice way. She said, “You should go home first. I’ll discuss this with my son when he comes back.” Maya, who was still in the car, felt her heart drop. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. She knew Claire more than Brittany did, and she had seen just how dramatic this woman can be. Moreover, this woman only likes money. Just as she was getting worried, Alex and Waltz arrived at the villa. The two were surprised to see Claire. Waltz asked, “What are you doing here, Claire Bardot? Are you still trying to take our money?” Brittany asked, “Alex, she suggested that you remarry with Dorothy. What do you say?” Alex’s eyes widened. Waltz, on the other hand, yelled. “Mom, don’t listen to her bullsh*t! Money is most important to this woman! She likes the rich and hates the poor. Of course she’d want them to remarry! She found out that Alex is rich now! What are you even thinking, Bardot? She even caused a ruckus back in City Salon a few hours ago!” “She said that both City Salon and Thousand Miles Conglomerate are mutual property, and that Alex left the marriage without anything! She even told Alex to get lost. Realizing that all of that property was earned after the divorce, of course she would want them to remarry! You’re such a two faced b*tch! Dream on!” “What?” Brittany was enraged, she finally realized that she has almost been tricked. “Claire Bardot, I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as you are!” In extreme rage, she slapped Claire right across the face. Claire was sent flying into the pool next to the front yard.
