The Pinnacle Of Life

Chapter 105

Charles Carter answered the question instead with a smile, “Hailey owns a beauty salon chain. Years ago, she wanted to develop her own products so she bought a small manufacturing plant with an R&D center to realize her ambitions. That being said, till now nothing ever comes of it, so it has been dormant for a while.”

In fact, Hailey had actually discussed the matter with Brittany earlier.

Otherwise, Hailey would not have mentioned it now.

Brittany was also a capable businesswoman years ago so she could understand business operations very well.

She said with a smile, “Alex, after talking to Hailey, I think we can work together closely. Her beauty salon chain needs a flagship product currently and I am confident we can just develop the right ultra- popular product for her.”

What was the ultra-popular product? Something that would surpass the sales of the also-popular freckle cream produced by Rockefeller Group.

That being said, Brittany did not reveal much about their plans. After all, only both her son and herself could intuitively understand some matters, and it was too early to make them public.

“Hailey’s production facility is located in Michigan though.”

Soon after, the Carters went on their ways, leaving Alex and Brittany in a private discussion.

Brittany’s gaze flitted momentarily at the door as she spoke in a low voice, “So, who is that woman out there? Someone you had fun with while you were out drinking?”

Earlier, she was knocked out by Brock, only to be moved into a room by Alex.

She then woke up to find an unfamiliar beauty next to her, who said she was Alex’s own bed- warming servant. It was quite the fright for Brittany nonetheless as she thought, “Bed-warming servant? What decade is she living in? Most importantly, what is she here for? Think carefully, isn’t she just a lover?”

Alex was a married man and his wife was here before.

It would not end well if she found out what went down here.

Alex hurriedly explained, “Mom, you have got it wrong. She’s just my… junior in martial arts. Yeah, she can be quite mischievous at times.”

Alex had thought about the matter before.

Lord Lex Gunther’s identity was a little complicated, and he was commonly assumed to be a bad guy or a leader of an underground gang. Brittany would not want her son to get involved in any way whatsoever.

Plus, Alex needed a suitable excuse to explain the derivation of his powers, which appeared all of a sudden. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Junior? When did you start learning martial arts?”

“Back when you were still in a coma. As for my master, he doesn’t want his identity to be revealed, but I can say he is an extremely powerful character!”

With that excuse, at last, Alex was no longer pursued on the topic.

Then, Alex mentioned again the matter about Brock. Since John dared to order his men to kidnap both Brittany and Alex, he might actually do it again. Knowing his personality, he certainly would not let go of the fortunes in his hand easily… Two months were given by Alex in order to apply psychological stress on John.

When the time came, it would eventually turn into a mental torment.

“Rather than in California, I think it will be great for us to move our research and development efforts to Michigan, with Hailey’s production facility over there. The Rockefellers have great influences and a network of contacts here in California, it will not be long until they find out what we are doing. We will make a comeback when our product is launched.”

After hearing his words, Brittany nodded as she felt the same.

With that, Alex colluded with Waltz Fleur to make sure they were on the same page.

“I am your junior, huh?” Waltz was amused. “Then, is it a bed-warming servant or junior?”

“You can be both a junior and bed-warming servant at the same time.”

“Then… Can you teach me some of your moves then, senior?”

Crap, Alex did not even know martial arts himself!

All he had was the Force as his basics, while the rest were of medical arts. In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Waltz.

Seeing Alex’s inaction, Waltz gritted her teeth. After raising her legs and straddling on his lap, she said as she gently rocked her body, “Senior, senior, can you teach me?”

Alex was horrified by her actions.
