The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 252
Chapter 252
Annalise didn’t look at Azure, but she looked at Alex instead, who seemed very calm.
Annalise wasn’t fond of Alex at all. Despite being a married man, Alex still flirted with
Michelle Yowell. More importantly, Michelle didn’t seem to mind at all as though she
willingly allowed a jerk like Alex to play with her feelings.
Annalise was determined to teach Alex a lesson if he had done something morally
wrong.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I want you to give me a reasonable explanation. If you don’t, and I find
that you are working with other people to bully my people from Budweiser, I won’t let
you off the hook even if Michelle were to show up here.”
Annalise stared coldly at Alex.
Surprised, Azure turned to look at Alex and did not utter a word.
Alex placed his hands behind him and asked, “Ms. Henderson, are you a disciple in
Budweiser Martial Arts Center?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Annalise lifted her chest confidently, trying hard to suppress her anger. “That’s right. The
master of Budweiser Martial Arts Center is my uncle.”
While raising his brows, Alex rubbed his fingers and said, “Alright. I won’t make things
difficult for you, just for Michelle’s sake.
You may leave now.”
“What did you say?” Annalise couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Alex
Rockefeller, I’m also giving you an opportunity to explain yourself for Michelle’s sake.
What sort of a place do you think Budweiser Martial Arts Center is? A café? Do you
think you can come here whenever you wish?
Don’t mislead yourself.”
From the conversation between Annalise and Alex, the other people in Budweiser
Martial Arts Center could tell that both of them knew each other. In this case, it would be
possible to negotiate a solution.
Annalise’s gaze was cold.
In fact, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. She said,
“Now, I need an explanation from you. Do it, right now.”
Alex shook his head lightly as he said, “Fine. I will give you the first explanation. This fat
guy, after accepting a reward of a million dollars from someone, brought five other men
to assault me, wanting to break my hands.
The outcome is just what you just saw, he
was too unskilled, and he ended up losing his legs. Don’t you think that’s fair?”
“What? Did Jake actually do something like this?”
Annalise frowned as she heard his words, but she could still discern right from wrong.
As a martial artist, getting paid to attack another person was too shameful.
Jake brought it down upon himself by having his legs broken.
However, not everyone thought the same.
“Hmph. All we can see right now is that Jake’s legs have been broken.
In fact, they’re
completely crushed, and it’s impossible for him to practice martial arts anymore. He will
have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, you don‘t look like you’ve
suffered any injury and your hands seem perfectly fine.”
“That’s right. Jake has already passed out. Who could have known what exactly
happened?”
“Avenge! We must avenge him!”
Everyone was riled up as they demanded to avenge Jake.
Annalise was equally angry. She and Jake were on good terms after all. Unfortunately,
his life would be very difficult in the future.
He would forever be looked down upon by
others, and he would have to live his life in shame.
“Everyone, be quiet!” Annalise exclaimed, “Listen to me, everyone. I will thoroughly
investigate this matter. If Jake really did get bribed to attack someone else, then he
really brought it down upon himself.
Having his legs broken would have been
reasonable. However, if it turned out he was innocent, I will definitely avenge him!”
“How could we just let it slide? Jake’s future has gone down the drain!” Somebody said.
Annalise looked at Alex.
“Your friend was far too cruel. Effectively, he’s ruined Jake’s life
for good. That’s why you’ll have to pay up. Just a compensation of five million dollars,
we’re not trying to make things difficult for you.”
Alex scratched his ears and chuckled softly.
“Your name is Annalise Henderson, right?
Did you misunderstand something here? We’re not here to apologize to you. Instead…
We are here to demand an explanation.”
As he spoke, the look in his eyes suddenly turned fierce.
“If you people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center can’t give me a satisfactory answer
today, I’ll make sure it will no longer have a place in California from today on.”
“What did you just say?”
“This is absurd!”
“Damn it. Annalise, back off. I’ll teach this b*stard a lesson by kicking his ass!” Someone
shouted before charging forward and striking a punch at Alex.
Right then, Azure made a move. Azure dived in from the side and initiated a preemptive
strike by punching that person in his arm.
