Peak of Life novel Chapter 9

There was pin-drop silence!

Everyone in that private dining room was shocked.

But a few seconds later, a burst of laughter broke the silence.

Everyone laughed.

Only Lady Dorothy was deeply disappointed after being shocked.

Madame Claire then exclaimed, "You can afford to buy the Love in a Fallen City necklace worth thirty million dollars? Did you sleep on the street last night? You must be still asleep, still dreaming about it huh? If you can afford this necklace, I will eat this table."

Alex replied indifferently, "Mum, you don't need to eat the table, your teeth are not strong enough to bite it.”

Madame Claire raised her brows and glared, "Mum? Who is your mother? Your mother is still in the hospital, half-dead! From today onwards, Spark Rockefeller is my only son-in-law, and he is the only one qualified to address me as a mum. You, divorce Dorothy in the afternoon." 1

Alex glanced and clenched his fist.

"What? Are you angry? How dare trash like you be angry at me, dare to beat me up?" Madame Claire pointed at her head, "Come on, here, beat my head, if you dare to beat me, I lose!"

Alex couldn't be bothered to deal with this shrew.

Instead, he looked at Lady Dorothy and said, "Dorothy, I told you I am not who I used to be. Now I can protect you and everyone around me. The Love in a Fallen City necklace inside of this jewelry box is the proof! L.G. Balfour only had one Love in a Fallen City necklace, the only one in the world, which is exactly the one I bought, the rest are fake!"

"Also, I retrieved our wedding ring, and it's in this box."

As soon as he stopped talking, he heard Madame Claire roaring with laughter. "Listen, Dorothy. Listen carefully, what kind of bullsh*t is he spouting? How shameless, he must have gone insane! How dare he say that Spark's Love in a Fallen City necklace is fake. Is yours genuine? Yours must be fake too."

Spark said, "Yes! Alex, this is a real eye-opener. Bunch of bullshit. With my current status as Spark

Rockefeller, do you think I will use a fake necklace to deceive people? Thirty million dollars means nothing t o me, but what about you? You knelt to Mum, begging for half a million dollars yesterday. No one would believe in you."

Alex heard Spark addressing Madame Claire as his mother. 1

He was speechless.

He looked at Lady Dorothy, "Dorothy, do you believe in me?"

Lady Dorothy couldn't believe in him.

She asked, "Let me ask you, you said you have a way t o solve the threat by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, have you done it?"

Alex said, "My people are working on it, news will be here soon."

Spark laughed and said, "You liar, do you know anyone from Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Even if you kneel in front of the entrance of Thousand Miles Conglomerate for three days and three nights, no one will help you. You are talking smack."

Lady Dorothy sighed and said nothing.

She knew that she shouldn't have pinned her hopes o n him at all.

At this moment, Alex's cell phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID on the screen, and it was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Lord Lex Gunther.

He picked up the call.

Lord Lex Gunther said on the other side, "Master, I have checked with the matter, and I’ve found the person. Would you like me to drown this person?

Alex was overjoyed and looked at Spark.

He remembered Lady Dorothy had told him yesterday that she wanted to take revenge with her own hands.

He said immediately, "That's too easy on him, I will take care of him myself."

Lord Lex Gunther said, "Okay, where are you, Master? I’ll pick you up."

Alex said, "Don't bother, I'll be there."

Lord Lex Gunther replied, "Okay, I'm at Hell’s Angels."

He hung up.

Alex said to Lady Dorothy, "It has been resolved, Thousand Miles Conglomerate will no longer threaten you. That rascal Sir Gaston has been found. If he dares to think about laying a finger on you again, I will take revenge on him myself! I will kill him!"

Then right after that, he felt hungry.

He sat down, grabbed a bowl of salad, and gobbled it u P-

When Madame Claire saw him eating like a hungry hippo, she shot him a look of disdain. "You can’t even afford to have a proper meal, how dare you continue to daydream!"

Lady Dorothy didn't believe it at all.

Looking at Alex talking big and fantasizing, she was heartbroken.
