The Pinnacle Of Life

Chapter 153

James was clearly unhappy with their sudden appearance.

Cheryl was exceptionally annoyed by the old man’s words too, her face was filled with disgust.

‘What do you mean by ‘spinster’?

‘I just have high standards for men!’

James replied, “What brings you here, Wilson? What makes you think I’d welcome you at my doorstep? Were you banned from working in Michigan? Is that why?”

This old man was Patrick Wilson, he had quite a history with James. The two used to be apprentices under a famous doctor, they were like godbrothers. James was older than Patrick, so became the older brother.

However, Patrick didn’t learn medicine to save lives, he wanted the money.

Back then, he would use his master’s title to scam others. This was why their master expelled him and was no longer deemed as one of his disciples. However, Patrick had the mind of a businessman. Even though he couldn’t become a famous doctor, he managed to start up a health care centre, selling ancient spa treatments.

To their surprise, his business was extremely successful, and he managed to open a few more branches in other states.

James knew exactly how his spa treatment worked. It wasn’t entirely a scam, yet the advertised effectiveness was way too misleading. The price for said treatment was off the roof too.

Patrick’s grandson was Zachary Wilson, an actual doctor. He graduated from a prestigious medical university overseas as well.

Zachary had met Cheryl before and was absolutely mesmerized by her beauty. He had many dreams about her as well, and he enjoyed every second of those dreams. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

He couldn’t help but burn up when he thought about her exceptionally curvy body.

He noticed Alex, a complete stranger, was handing Grandma a jade statue. He felt upset and competitiveness grew within him as his gaze turned cold.

Patrick huffed. “Coney, are you deaf? I said I’ve got you a grandson-in-law. Cheryl will become the Wilsons’ daughter-in-law from now on.”

Cheryl just couldn’t bear listening any further. “Did I agree to this?”

Patrick was shocked. “My grandson is a postgraduate from the prestigious Mediziner University, his future is bright! With our family’s wealth, you won’t have to worry about anything for life! How dare you reject our offer? You haven’t even found anyone at this age. Do you really want to become a spinster?”

James replied, “You’re too late, Cherry already has a husband. This man, Alex Rockefeller, is my grandson-in-law.”

“What?”

When Zachary realized that his doubts were true, his feelings for Cheryl immediately turned into anger.

‘How dare you marry someone else?

‘I’d already decided to have you as my wife!’

Alex was puzzled, he turned to Cheryl and met eyes with her.

Cheryl inched closer towards him and nudged his arm gently, her eyes pleading.

Alex smiled softly and nodded.

He had agreed to be Cheryl’s pretend-husband temporarily.

Suddenly, Patrick snapped. “Coney, what are you bullsh*tting about? How would I not know if your granddaughter had gotten married? If she really did, you would’ve definitely sent wedding invitations to Baker and the others! Listen, stop making unbelievable lies up. What? Do you think my grandson doesn’t deserve your granddaughter?”
