THE PINNACLE OF LIFE - Season 1 Episode 80

Benny also let out a laugh. “Dorothy, do you really think that Assex Constructions will transfer 70% of the subsidiary company shares in City South to you? You’re too naive. Keep on dreaming.”

“What?” Dorothy exclaimed in surprise, “This contract is fake?”

Madame Joanne cackled like a hen. “Of course, it’s fake. The Assex family doesn’t need ungrateful people like you. Dorothy, you’re overambitious. How dare you try to dominate the subsidiary company in City South? What qualification do you have? Who gave you the courage to do so? This trash who’s standing beside you? From now on, your family line is no longer part of the Assexes. You are expelled from the Assexes.”

“What? Grandma, how could you break your promise?” Dorothy was on the verge of tears.

Madame Joanne said, “Why should I keep my promise when dealing with shameless and despicable people like you? You’re unworthy of being a member of the Assexs.”

Emma chided, “We don’t welcome you both, so you can get out of here now. Otherwise, I’ll call the security guard to have you both removed.”

The rest of the Assexes proudly chortled, with a lofty look on their faces.

Dorothy and Alex were detested by them, as if they were some low-lives.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

At this moment, thunderous claps were heard.

The Assexes’ gaze turned toward the direction of the sound. Unexpectedly, it was that trashy Alex who clapped his hands while laughing.

They were dumbfounded and thought Alex had gone mad due to irritation.

“What’s with those handclaps and laughters? Are you crazy?” said a junior from the Assexes.

“I think he has gone crazy, after waking from his dream and receiving such a blow,” said Emma as her face was full of mockery.

Alex chuckled. “Impressive. That’s really a splendid performance. I didn’t expect you people would trick us with a fake contract… But, do you think you’re only the ones who know such a trick?”

With that, the rest of the Assexes were stunned. Emma also donned a surprised look.

Emma asked, “What do you mean?”

Alex said indifferently, “Just as its literal meaning.”

As Madame Joanne was startled by his words, she hurriedly shouted, “Hurry, hurry. Look at the contents of the contract.”

Benny immediately opened up the contract and reviewed the contents meticulously, especially the several important terms and conditions. As he looked at the contents, he fell into despair and said with hastened breaths, “It’s wrong. It’s wrong. These aren’t the terms that we have agreed in the contract. The prices have changed, hence, if according to these prices Assex Constructions will lose everything and face bankruptcy.”

“Ahh!”

Madame Joanne made a loud shriek as she wobbled and fell to the ground.

In the midst of chaos, the rest of the Assexs pushed against each other and shouted as they hurriedly helped her to get up. It had finally calmed down after a while. Madame Joanne sat on the sofa with her

eyes widened in anger. “You… You immoral couple.”

Alex said with a sardonic laugh, “If you can fool us with a fake contract, can’t we do the same too? Old Lady, do you think everyone else in this world is a fool? The real contract is here.”

Then, he took out another contract from the briefcase.

He even opened every page on the contract so that they could see the terms and conditions clearly.

Benny shouted, “Yes. It’s real. It’s the real contract.”

Emma wanted to catch him off guard and snatch away the contract.

However, Alex instantly gave her a spank. “Now I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want the 70% subsidiary company shares in City South, but 100%. I’ll give you fifteen minutes to prepare the new contract. If I don’t see the contract after fifteen minutes, I’ll tear this contract into pieces and don’t you ever think about doing business with Waylon Realty in the future.”

While covering her face with hands in disbelief, Emma said, “Who do you think you are? What qualification do you have to speak such a thing? Is Waylon Realty owned by your family? Since Waylon Realty has willingly signed this contract, even if you tear the contract now, we’ll just get a new one.”

Alex snorted. “You can try and do so.”

Benny said, “Dorothy, after all the blood of the Assex family flows inside your body. How could you just stand there and watch this outsider swaggering around?”

Dorothy was on the verge of tears as she shook her head. “He’s not an outsider but my husband. You people don’t even treat me as a member of the Assexes, and now you even want to expel my family line. The subsidiary company in City South was established by myself from scratch. Even if I have

borrowed the resources from Assex Constructions, I’ll pay back the sum by tenfold or hundredfold within these few years. My request is not much compared to the 10% of Assex Constructions’ shares.

“Furthermore, I didn’t sign the contract, but my husband did.”
