The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 776

“Yep!” “That’s great! Charles would be delighted to hear this!” In just a few moments, they finished the tour. Although City Salon was luxurious, Waltz was not just any woman. Since she grew up in luxury, she lost interest fairly quickly. She asked Alex, “Brother, are you done with work here? If you are, let’s go. We just need to show up. More importantly, we need you to sign the contract to transfer shares.” Alex found out that Waltz had transferred Jerry and Fabio’s shares to him from Frank’s account. She didn’t do anything to Lex’s shares, mainly because Clay wasn’t back yet. They decided to wait until he’s back to discuss how it’ll be distributed. “Give me half an hour!” The four then went into the CEO’s office. Alex read through Sharpay’s proposal, which she had put a lot of effort in. Poor Sharpay had dolled up just to meet Alex. She had specifically picked out her clothes and bought them with a large sum of money. She originally thought that this was a chance for her to be alone with Alex. She even thought about how she would seduce Alex. In the end, their meetup became a four person meeting. She was so frustrated that she was going to explode. Waltz sat silently on the sofa with her eyes closed. Watching her, Sharpay dropped the idea of seducing Alex completely. She was worried that this would become her last day on earth if she were to reveal any of her thoughts. Twenty minutes later, Alex was done reading the proposal. He nodded and said, “Very good, your proposal is very detailed. I’ll discuss with my mother and give you an answer in a week.” Sharpay was overjoyed. “Alright, Mr. Rockefeller.” Alex said, “You can go back to work now.” Sharpay didn’t hesitate and walked out of the office, closing the door behind her. After some small talk with Hailey, Alex and Waltz headed to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. As for lunch, Hailey and Alex had to reschedule. *** Claire had called a cab. She was heading home, still filled with hatred and regret. On the way home, she couldn’t stop thinking, ‘How would my life be if Alex was still my son-in-law?’ In the end, she just felt her heart sinking lower and lower. Her regret slowly grew as the seconds passed. She looked as if she wanted to pull out all of her hair. She started slapping herself harshly in the backseat, which ended up frightening the driver. She had stopped believing in love ever since Henry betrayed her, hence all she believed in was money. Money was now the most important thing to her. She knew that money could bring her happiness both materialistically and mentally. ‘If Alex was still my son-in-law, he would have to give us at least a few hundred millions with how wealthy he is now… I would be able to buy apparel from luxurious brands, I could travel the world, I could even buy a cruise! I would’ve been able to boast about this on social media too! That’s the dream life!’ However, all that’s left for her were tears of regret. When she got back home, she noticed both Dorothy and Beatrice gardening in their front yard. Their hands were all dirty and they didn’t look rich at all. They looked like country maids. She was even more frustrated at this point. She sat on the ground and cried hysterically. The two sisters were shocked as they rushed over and consoled her. Claire wiped her tears. “It’s because of Rockefeller! Oh, Dorothy, please tell me, do you think you two could get back together?” The two sisters were extremely surprised.
