The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 782

Dorothy Assex was a little surprised to see Alex Rockefeller getting out of the car. It was even more surprising when Alex carried a wet Claire Assex out of the car. “What happened?” Dorothy asked softly. Alex chuckled bitterly. “Your mother suddenly ran over to my place. Coincidentally, my mother was home too. They started arguing, and she… She accidentally fell into the swimming pool.” “She was there to discuss about us getting married again, wasn’t she?” Dorothy asked. “How did you know?” Alex asked. “I could guess. Leave her to me. You should probably head home to console your mother,” Dorothy said. “Aren’t you angry?” Alex asked. Dorothy sighed. “Why should I be angry? She asked for it.” As Alex handed Claire over to Dorothy, he gave her breasts a quick squeeze. This caused Dorothy’s beautiful eyes to narrow, and she glared at him briefly. To their surprise, Clare actually woke up right then. As soon as she woke up, she started lashing out at Alex. She said the most awful things. Even Beatrice Assex, who was learning how to cook in the villa, was alerted to what was going on and came out… Beatrice was very excited to see Alex. Just as she thought about how to impress him, Alex ran off because he couldn’t stand being yelled at by Claire. After Claire yelled for some time, she realized Dorothy and Beatrice seemed completely indifferent. “Are you two even my children? I’ve been hit out there, and nearly lost my life after being thrown into a swimming pool. Why haven’t you said anything to show that you care?” Claire asked. “Surely Alex wouldn’t let you drown,” Beatrice said with a pout. “You…You’re really such a good daughter of mine,” Claire said. “Don’t do stupid stuff like this again. Alex and I won’t remarry,” Dorothy said. Claire snorted angrily. “Don’t worry. This time, I won’t agree to you remarrying him even if you wanted to. I will find a son-in-law that’s ten million times better than him.” Dorothy couldn’t be bothered to respond to her. She yawned and returned to the couch to look at her computer screen. *** On his way home, Alex called Sky Melvis from Divine Constabulary. “Captain Melvis!” Alex said. “Alex, Anna and I were just talking about you. Do you have time to grab a drink?” Sky asked. “Drink… Let’s do it some other day. I’m occupied with something else today. I wanted to ask you if that female doctor, Ms. Nanami, is around.” Alex said. “Are you looking for Ms. Nanami? Unfortunately, she returned to Hygieia Valley, and she won’t be back for a while. Do you need her help with something urgent?” Sky asked. “It is rather urgent. Do you have her phone number?” Alex asked. “That’d be difficult. Hygieia Valley is a special place with no signal for phones. I can’t find her now either. We’ll have to wait until she leaves the valley on her own! If there’s something urgent, you can tell me about it. Perhaps, I might be of help,” Sky said. “I want to buy some herbs from Hygieia Valley,” Alex said bluntly. Sky couldn’t really help with this kind of stuff. Alex chuckled. “It’s fine. I’ll think of other ways!” “How about this? You can tell me what the herbs you need are, and I’ll look around for you. If I find any, I’ll contact you,” Sky said. “Okay!” With that, Alex told Sky the three types of herbs he needed. After chatting briefly, he hung up the phone. Anna Coleman was right next to Sky. “Sir, didn’t you want to know what level Alex is currently in? Why didn’t you ask him? I’m very curious too!” Anna said. Sky shook his head and laughed bitterly. “If he’s really like what you said, then his powers can no longer be measured using conventional martial arts levels. Cultivation gurus are in an even more mysterious league of their own. I underestimated him! Someone like him will definitely become a prominent person in the future. Anna, you should spend more time with Alex. It’ll greatly benefit you.”
