The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1858

“When I said I could kill you, it wasn’t a threat. I was merely informing you!”

At the time, Pete wasn’t dead yet. He was still standing and sensing his surroundings. He saw his back from this extremely odd angle and heard what Alex said.

He finally realized, ‘This bastard actually killed me! But, how dare he?’

Those were his final thoughts before falling to the ground flat on his face.

When Pete’s subordinates saw this, they were stunned. Icy chills ran down their spines.

“M… Murder!”

“You… How dare you murder someone in broad daylight?! Do you even know who he is? You’re in so much trouble!”

Alex said coldly, “Go ahead and call for whoever supports him. I’ll be waiting here. Now get lost!”

The two immediately scooted off, still panicking. They went to make a call.

Cheryl was worried. “Alex, sure, this guy was hateful and deceitful, but you didn’t have to kill him, did you? His father possesses a lot of power in Long Beach. Doesn’t this mean that we provoked them?”

Alex followed Cheryl into the laboratory. She suddenly remembered and asked, “Why did you come find me at this hour?”

Alex replied, “I have a very tricky case on my plate too. I wanted you to help diagnose her. But I didn’t expect a man to have picked up the call. He even said that he’s your boyfriend and was sleeping with you. So I came here as soon as I could.”

Cheryl was shocked and finally remembered. “I left my phone outside. ”

Alex handed her a phone.

“I brought it for you.”

Cheryl grinned cheekily as she took it. “So what you’re saying is, you only came here because you were jealous? Then should I thank Pete? Otherwise, I would’ve been sent to the cold bench and cease to exist in your heart. Only huh?”
