The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 280

With swift movements, Alex and Anna threw the three back into their car, climbing over

the walls of the manor like raccoons.

However, just as they landed on the ground inside, sharp beeping alarm sounds were

heard.

“What’s happening? Are these infrared surveillance cameras?”

Both of them were stunned as they looked at each other, puzzled.

Anna nodded. “Yeah, I was too careless.”

Alex helplessly said, “I find you’re kind of amateur, could it be that you are a part-timer

in Divine Constabulary?”

Anna fumed and said, “I’m an official member! Isn’t that just an alarm? Why would we

need to dismantle it beforehand? It’s just the same if I barge in openly.”

Her team member earlier had given her the accurate bearings of Pepper’s location.

The two proceeded to rush to the north of the manor while ignoring the alarms.

Just then, a man in black came to meet up with them. He was a member of Divine

Constabulary and a member of Sky’s team as well. He was in charge of gathering

information and scouting the area.

“She’s in there.” The man pointed toward one of the maids’ bedrooms but his

expression seemed odd.

Alex could sense an abnormal level of hormones within the man.

Bang!

Anna, the brute woman, immediately kicked the door open.

At the same time, Alex noticed that the man in black quickly retreated into the dark.

After all, he wasn’t in the fighting units. Since Anna came and took over the situation, he

had successfully completed his mission and he could leave immediately, as if he had

never come here in the first place.

Screams could be heard from the inside of the room. Alex was quite familiar with this

room, so he stepped forward to turn on the light switch. After switching on the lights, he

saw John in disheveled clothes, whereas their target, Pepper Kimmich, was wearing her

clothes.

“Oh Lord, my eyes!” Alex froze for a while and then smiled. “Oh, it’s Secretary Kimmich.

Are you still working this late at night? A secretary’s job must be pretty hard!”

Only now did Alex realize the reason that guy earlier had such an odd expression.

“Alex Rockefeller, it’s you. Why are you here? Who let you in?” John was enraged. After

all, no one would be in a good mood after being exposed at a time like this, especially

when he saw Alex whom he hated so much.

Pepper was shocked as well. She was more terrified than John. That was because she,

who tried to assassinate Alex on the hillside just a while ago, learned about Black

Skeleton’s death. However, she believed that her identity had not been exposed. After

all, she had been hiding her identity for years safe and sound.

Hence, she knew that she had to keep herself calm and act normally in moments like

these. This was why she still came over to the manor after receiving orders from John.

Alex said calmly, “This is my manor, would it be a problem if I come here and walk

around? There’s still one month to go till it’s returned to its rightful owner. So, don’t you

dare destroy anything… Such sneaky activities, you should avoid doing them too!”

Pepper, who looked shy and embarrassed, was on the verge of tears. She really did

look like a weak secretary, who was forced to obey her boss’s irrational orders. She

might as well get an Oscar with such acting skills.

Anna didn’t want to dawdle any longer, she wanted to reveal her identity and arrest This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Pepper. Suddenly, a group of people rushed over, they were the security guards and the

members of Rockefellers. They had come over to check out what the nuisance was all

about.

Even Bill came while being pushed over by one of the caretakers.

“Ah!”

“Hubby, why are you here? Aren’t you working abroad? You… Ah! You two actually…”

Olivia was deeply shocked as soon as she saw John and Pepper in such states. She

only regained her composure after a while. In the next second, she madly rushed up to

Pepper and attacked her, scratching her face and pulling her hair.

In order to hide her identity, Pepper didn’t even retaliate despite possessing a cultivation

base of Intermediate-Royal rank. She just dodged a few times, letting her face get

scratched till several bloody wounds surfaced.

John pitied Pepper, hence he pushed Olivia hard, causing her to fall to the ground.

Olivia was really livid by his actions.

Pepper sobbed uncontrollably. She hurriedly lowered her head and said “sorry” before

trying to leave the room while covering her face. Everything unfolded just as she

planned, as if all of this was natural and flawless.

However, at this moment, Anna blocked Pepper’s way and said calmly, “You can’t

escape now.”
