The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 850

He finally spoke, nonchalantly. “Your stupid nephew didn’t really offend me. He just came here to court my bro’s girlfriend. He even tried using a thirty eight thousand necklace to provoke my bro, what a joke.” Thud! Douglas kicked Chad on his bottom, sending his face smashing to the ground before scolding him. “You bastard! Have you forgotten your family name just because you have a little damn cash? If your father didn’t die early, I would’ve broken both your legs ages ago!” Chad was crying hysterically as he pointed towards Heather. “Uncle, this woman was the one who approached me first, saying that she’d sell her niece to me… Well, I’m not married yet, so I’m just trying to bear a child and help keep my family bloodline! For Dad!” Chloe frowned upon hearing this. “Sell me to you? How much did she take?” Chad started stammering, hesitant to speak. However, Douglas slapped him right across the face again. “Say it!” Chad replied, “I gave her 300 thousand! And once I’ve slept with you, I agreed to give her another 300 thousand!” Adrien and Scarlett exploded from anger. Adrien immediately rushed up to Heather and slapped her three times across her face. Although he was a kind man, he was definitely scarier than most when he gets mad. Scarlett rushed over as well, scratching Heather’s face and yelled. “Well, aren’t you just the best, Heather? I treat you like family, but you dare sell my daughter? How inhumane can you be? Chloe is your niece and you sold her for 600 thousand dollars? What makes you think you can do that?” “Sis, Brother-in-law, stop! I took 500 thousand dollars from loan sharks, loan sharks I tell you! If I can’t pay them back within a week, they will take my house away! I can’t let my husband know about this. He would divorce me for sure. And it’s not like Chad’s a bad guy! Oh, please stop!” But Adrien was not done releasing his anger yet. He slapped her again and yelled. “Get lost! You’re no longer family to us, you scum! Get lost I say!” “Fine, fine! I’ll leave now, okay?!” Heather ran off right after being kicked out. Chloe even had to comfort her parents and ease their anger. Alex had been staring at Douglas, seemingly becoming more curious about the man. He had noticed that this man wasn’t just like the average person. There seemed to be a mystical energy within him. The Narra bracelet on him was a mystical tool as well. However, there seemed to be a light hint of Yin energy within him as well. This man actually beat Chad up until his face was swollen because of something so small. He even humbled himself down so much, which didn’t match his status one bit. But despite his humble attitude, he was very hot tempered towards his own nephew. Alex waved his hands. “Mr. Hudson, do you need money urgently?” This was the only reason Alex could think of. Douglas looked at Alex and nodded. “I’ll be frank with you, Mr. Rockefeller. I’ve been stumped in my business, and I wouldn’t be able to pay my employees salaries if this goes on. More importantly, my daughter… I need to pay for her expensive hospital bills. I’m not saying this to earn your sympathy, but Sunshine Co. really is being sold at a fairly reasonable price.” Alex asked, “What’s your daughter diagnosed with?” “Uhm…” Douglas was hesitant, then shook his head. “The doctor said they can’t seem to put their finger on it.” Alex nodded as he tapped the table. “Can I see your daughter?” “Huh?” Douglas couldn’t understand what he meant. Alex smiled. “Mr. Hudson, let’s step away for a bit and have a talk.” Nicholas was surprised, but he decided not to ask. Once outside, Alex smiled sarcastically and asked, “Mr. Hudson, you’re not just a normal businessman, are you? Are you heavily involved in grave goods?”
