Peak of Life novel Chapter 2

"Young Master Spark!" Madame Claire quickly greeted the incoming person enthusiastically.

Everyone in the villa had respect written on their faces. He was Spark Rockefeller, the young director of Rockefeller Group. Although the real number was unknown to the world, it was estimated that the wealth of Rockefeller Group totaled up to three hundred billion dollars, more than all of them combined.

However when Alex saw this man, he charged towards him with angered eyes, grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "You animal. Dorothy is your sister-i n-law. How can you call yourself a human when you want to marry your sister-in-law?” 2

As fate had it, Spark was Alex's cousin. He was the son of his uncle, John Rockefeller. Alex had deep hatred for them both. He recalled a little incident that occurred last October, right after his parents were involved in the car accident, it was John who came out and framed his father for corruption and stole Rockefeller Group that was built by his parents, and kicked Alex out of the Rockefellers' residence. If it wasn't for them, Alex's situation would not be as dire a s it currently was. 1

Spark looked at Alex with contempt, and said, "What sister-in-law? You were kicked out of the Rockefellers' residence by your own grandfather, how can Lady Dorothy be considered as my sister-in-law? Besides, you do not deserve her."

Madame Claire pulled Alex away and kicked him. She then turned around with a smile, said to Spark," Master Spark, I'm so blessed a man of your esteem has managed to make time for me today."

Spark laughingly said, "Madame, it is your birthday today, I came here to wish you personally. This is a 100-year-old ginseng, even I had to jump through hoops t o buy it for three million dollars, just to give it to you a s a birthday gift."

Upon hearing that the ginseng was worth that much money, Madame Claire could not contain her joy. She immediately received it with a greedy grin from ear to ear.

As Spark gazed at Lady Dorothy, he was mesmerized b y her beauty. It was obvious to everyone that he desired her. In fact, he had been yearning for her for a long time. He spoke softly, "Dorothy, I've heard about your little incident with the Gates family. It just so happens that my father has a close friend in the upper management of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I can help you to resolve this matter. Once it’s done, I will give you a grand wedding beyond your imagination! Dorothy, I love you with all my heart and have loved you from the first time that I saw you. When we’re married, the entire Rockefeller Group will be yours."

Lady Dorothy calmly shook her head and said, "I will not get a divorce."

Madame Claire was filled with excitement when she heard that the entire Rockefeller Group would belong t o her daughter. She tugged at Lady Dorothy and said," Are you crazy? The odds of landing a guy like Spark is lower than being struck by lightning. Why do you still want to stay married to this garbage?" 2

Madame Claire turned to Spark and said, "Well, Mr. Spark, it seems like you are truly in love with my daughter. This is great. From now on, you will be my son-in-law."

Spark was delighted to see Madame Claire's reaction." I heard the news of your ill mother and you need half a million dollars for her surgery. Here is the half a million dollars, it is yours if you file for a divorce with Dorothy tomorrow." Spark said to Alex as he nonchalantly tossed an American Express card at Alex's feet.

Alex's eyes turned red. He could not bear to take Spark's money.
