The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1385

For a moment, Alex did not want to walk up to them. He just wanted to turn around and walk off, as if they did not know Alex. However, Phoebe was already waving at him. “Rockefeller brat, quickly come over. What are you doing standing over there?” When her cousin turned around and saw Alex, she instantly frowned. Afterwards, she had her mouth agape. “No way? Cousin, how do you know this scum?” The woman said right away. “What scum? Judy, don’t spew nonsense,” said Phoebe instantly as she was confused. “That’s him, that’s the scum that I told you on the phone earlier. I don’t know which woman he was colluding with to cheat on his girlfriend. He had an affair with his girlfriend’s best friend. Is he still not a scum?” She was quite loud and immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. Phoebe was terrified to the core. It turned out that the person Judy told her on the phone was Alex. However, never did Judy expect that the said best friend who was colluding with this scum was actually her own cousin! “Judy, don’t you spew nonsense if you don’t know anything. You must’ve heard it wrongly,” said Phoebe immediately. “Alright, let’s go! There are a lot of people here. You’re really one of a kind too, you know. Why did you take the train when you’re coming from Alaska? You could ’ve reached way earlier if you took the plane.” “I’m afraid of heights!” Afterwards, she seemed to have realized something suddenly and shouted, “Cousin, the person who talked to this scum on the phone couldn’t be you, right?” *** Until they were in the car, Phoebe generously admitted to it. “That’s right, the person who gave him a call was me. That’s why I told you that you’ve misunderstood it. Do I look like the kind of person who would steal my best friend’s boyfriend? Besides, look at this guy, which part of him is worthy for me to be on the losing end?” The woman named Judy Larsen was Phoebe’s third uncle’s daughter. She was twenty-three years old this year and just returned from studying in England. Judy looked at both of them suspiciously. Even though she did not hear clearly what Phoebe said on the phone at the time, she pricked up her ears and heard everything said by Alex. They both were indeed tallying their confessions. She wanted to continue asking to get to the heart of the matter. However, considering that Phoebe was her cousin, she certainly would like to keep her ego. How would she possibly admit to such a personal matter? Hence, she nodded. “Indeed, Cousin, with your appearance and family background, you rank high even in Alaska but not everyone could claim social connection with you.” After a pause, she continued, “By the way, Uncle has a great improvement this time. Soon, he’ll become the governor of Michigan. When the time comes, you’ll become the governor’s daughter with an even higher position. I heard that many big families in Alaska have been asking to see Grandpa because they all want to be your husband!” When she said that, her eyes were staring at Alex, wanting to tell that to Alex. However, Alex, who was in charge of driving, did not seem to hear it. Phoebe shook her head and smiled. “This is impossible. I’ll decide on my own marriage! Nobody can force me, even if my grandfather can’t do so.” Judy smiled and said, “Cousin, you can’t do that! We’re born in a family like the Larsen family, we can’t decide on our own marriage! Well, you’re quite lucky though. The second young master of the Quarters family is coming to Michigan soon. His target is very clear, it’s you! The Quarterses’ patriarch has talked to Grandpa about this matter. It’s basically cast in stone. You’ll soon be the Quarterses’ daughter-in-law soon.” “What? The Quarterses of Alaska?!” Phoebe exclaimed. Her expression turned very awful. She knew about the Quarterses of Alaska. They had a far greater existence than the eight royal families of America and many in the family were high officials and noble persons. On the other hand, the second young master of the Quarters family was also very well-known. He was famous for being the little prodigy of the Quarters family. He had gained his popularity at the age of six and achieved a PhD in three subjects at the age of eighteen. Now at the age of twenty-six, he had already established a multinational corporation that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. If such a person went to the Larsen family to propose a marriage, would the Larsens’ patriarch refuse it?
