The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 79

“Alex, do you think we’ll acquire the subsidiary company shares in City South without a hitch?” Dorothy’s heart was filled with daunting anticipation. While patting on the briefcase, which he carried with him, Alex said, “Rest assured, I promise.” The contract that had been signed by Waylon Realty earlier was placed inside the briefcase. Dorothy grinned from ear to ear as her beautiful eyes opened a sliver. In that instant, Alex was a little stunned. After all, it had been a very long time since Dorothy let out such a joyful laughter in front of him. He suddenly drew closer. After reaching out to clasp her hand, he said, “Dorothy, thank you for all your support during this period of time. From now on, I won’t let you bear such a heavy burden by yourself. I’ll help you to share the burden so that you don’t have to suffer anymore.” As Dorothy felt the sincerity in his grip, a gush of sorrow filled her and she wanted to cry. “It’s fine, as long as you know that.” After a pause, she said with a smile, “After acquiring the equity contract of the subsidiary company in City South, I’ll treat you to a meal, with an add-on reward of a hundred thousand dollars.” Speaking of a hundred thousand dollars, Alex recalled that the hospital had returned about ninety thousand dollars to him when Brittany was discharged from the hospital. So, he said, “I don’t need the money. Last time, I didn’t use the money that you gave for my mom’s treatment at all. Furthermore, I’m not short of money.” “They are separate matters, so let’s not confuse them with each other. This is your reward for this time.” Alex did not utter another word but only laughed. He still had about thirty million dollars in his bank account. However, Brittany needed to make a comeback in their family business and they would definitely spend a large sum of money at the early phase. Therefore, he did not tell Dorothy about it. As for the grievances in the Rockefeller family, He did not plan to tell her either so that she could stop worrying unnecessarily. Soon after, they entered Assex Constructions. As they saw numerous descendants of the Assex family had congregated inside the chairperson’s office, with Madame Joanne sitting proudly on the black leather sofa, both of them could not help getting a misleading impression that they had just entered a court trial. It was suffocating by just being suppressed by the number of those people. Alex calmly rested his hand at the back of Dorothy’s waist. Benny took the lead and said, “Did you get the contract?” Dorothy nodded as she said, ”Yes, we have it.” Benny immediately said, “Show it to me.” As Alex clapped on the briefcase, he said with a smile, “It’s here!” “Hurry and take it out,” Emma said as she glared at him. “What’s the hurry?” Alex said as he dug his ear, “Where is the equity transfer contract for the subsidiary company in City South? We had come to an agreement yesterday that we’ll hand over the contract and you’ll hand over yours at the same time. Fair and square.” Benny chided, “Alex Rockefeller, you’re just an abandoned child of the Rockefellers and a kept man who lives off Dorothy. Do you think it’s your turn to yell here? Get out of here.” Alex said with his eyes squinted, “The contract is with me, do you really want me to get out? Don’t blame me when the contract is gone later. Mr. Carter did say that this is the one and only contract. If you lose it, you’ll never get it again.” “Nonsense!” Alex pursed his lips as he was too lazy to even speak to him. Old Lady Assex said, “Exchange the contracts now.” Benny took out the prepared contract and placed it on the table. Alex also took out his contract and put it on the table. The exchange occurred. Benny immediately took the contract to inspect the contract seal. After verifying that the seal was of Waylon Realty, he said with a sigh, “It’s real.” Finally, Madame Joanne felt relief and said, “Keep it properly.” And immediately, Emma burst into laughter. Dorothy said with a frown, “What are you laughing at?” Emma said, “I’m just laughing someone avaricious who overrates her own abilities.”
