The Pinnacle Of Life

Chapter 288

Brittany looked as if she had been possessed by Khione, the goddess of ice and snow

to the Rockefellers and their guests. Every move she only made her aura grow colder

as she beat up the guards in her way. All of them fell to the ground, engulfed by

numbness.

Spark’s eyes were exceptionally wide in shock. “Holy sh*t. Did this bi*ch learn the Ice

Cold Touch? When did she become so strong?”

John’s mouth was agape. He had always been terrified of Brittany as his legs trembled

in fear.

“Out of my way!”

Brittany pushed John aside resentfully and walked towards the coffin

slowly. Everyone couldn’t help but stare. No one dared to stop them anymore. She then

picked up a flower to place on the deceased Bill’s casket.

Suddenly, Paige came forward and slapped Brittany’s flower out of her hands. “Don’t act

all sorry and sad. You two killed my dad! How dare you pay your respects to him? You

have no right!”

Brittany immediately slapped Paige, sending her falling to the ground.

“Do you not have a brain? It’s as if you don’t know who killed him!”

“I’m still his daughter-in-law. Even if he never treated us like family, I have to respect the

dead and forgive what he did to us. I came here to pay my respects and send him off on

behalf of my husband so that he could finish what he should’ve done as his son.”

Alex picked up another flower and handed it to Brittany. After they placed the flower,

Noah spoke up with eyes filled with mixed emotions. “Alright, you guys can, uhm, go

home.”

Brittany shot Noah a dirty glare, her eyes were filled with hatred. However, she didn’t

leave even after she was asked to.

She stood aside and calmly said, “I thank all of you for coming here on behalf of

William.”

Olivia interrupted her. “You have been kicked out of the family. Besides, William is not

Dad’s biological son either! What makes you think you can thank the guests as a family

member?

Do you even know any of them?”

Brittany paid no attention to her words.

The guests, on the other hand, were extremely shocked…

“What?”

“William Rockefeller isn’t Bill Rockefeller’s son?”

“What does that mean?”

“I heard that William was just a child Bill picked up from the streets.”

“Ah, so that was what happened. Then they didn’t just kill him, they even came here to Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

ruin his funeral! They should be damned for life. How could they be so ungrateful?

They’re monsters!”

Such insults didn’t faze Brittany or Alex one bit.

They only stayed to wait until all the guests had arrived. They wanted to clear up the

misunderstandings the public had towards them. Alex had already thought of many

ways they could get the point across.

However, no one realized that Carol had gone missing. She had gone out to call the

cops.

“The CEO of Paradise Corp, Louis Graham, has come to pay his respects!”

Louis was wearing a black suit as he came forth to place a flower and presented a white

envelope with a stack of money to John as a token of respect.

He turned to look and Brittany and Alex smugly, letting out a cold chuckle before

heading towards the guest area.

Alex said, “Mom, didn’t this Louis guy beg you to help his company when they were

having a hard time?

Look at his attitude towards us now.”

Brittany replied, “Don’t mind him. He’s just an insignificant acquaintance. People change

all the time.”

Alex’s gaze turned sharp as he decided to ingrain the memory of this man in his head.

Later on, a few powerful figures in California had arrived as well and had similar

attitudes like Louis. John and Noah’s guest area was getting more crowded by the

minute, demonstrating that they had quite a lot of connections.

Brittany and Alex, on the other hand, were alone.

They seemed like outcasts, a stark

contrast to the rest of the Rockefellers.

Suddenly, several footsteps could be heard from outside of the hall.

A group of men in

black suits and shades were walking in two rows, each holding a wreath.

There were at least a hundred of them.

At the door, a voice trembled from excitement and fear. “Princess Fleur of Thousand

Miles Conglomerate has arrived to pay her respects with a hundred wreaths!
