Chapter 577: The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 577

A pair of pantyhose couldn’t be considered as a private object. Yet, it meant something else for men,

especially a pair of pantyhose that had been worn by a beautiful lady. It would even make their

imagination

run wild. How would a man think if he saw the garments that were worn by his wife were lying next to a

handsome

young man on a couch?

Anyway, it wasn’t a trust issue but infidelity. Fortunately, Charles did not notice such details. Otherwise,

he would have misunderstood and it would surely

leave a stigma in his heart, which was not a good thing for their family. He thought, ‘I need to be extra

careful in situations like this.’ Hailey went and poured Charles a glass of water and said, “How was the

trip, darling?

Alex came with good

news. I am sure you will be over the moon when you hear it.”

“Oh? Alex, what’s the good news?” said Charles. His expression immediately turned to surprise as he

continued, “Why are you dressed like this? This security guard uniform seems to be from your wife’s

company. Could it be that you… Are working as a security guard for your wife now?”

Alex hurriedly replied, “Nope. I dirtied my clothes earlier, so I randomly found one set of clothes to be

worn.”

“Your clothes have been dirtied?” Charles looked at him with a look that all men would understand.

“Could

it be that you and my sis-in-law were in the office…” Hailey gave him a little push. “What are you

saying? Alex is not that kind of person. Anyway, back to the

topic, he came to ask if you are interested in the Sky Tower project in Michigan?”

“Sky Tower?”

Charles’s expression instantly changed upon hearing it. “Alex, I know about the Sky Tower project but

the

requirements are too high and it is extremely difficult to get involved. I even dream of taking the project,

but

I don’t have such capability to do so!” Alex asked, “You are not qualified for it?” Charles shook his

head. “Of course, qualification is not an issue. The problem lies in Michigan over there. The Sky Tower

project belongs to Lord Bale of Michigan, who owns a few construction firms, at least.

I’m just an outsider, I can’t get involved in the project even if I want to.” Anger gradually showed on his

face as he spoke. “A friend in Michigan asked me to work on a project last

year. Guess what happened?

I was beaten up before being driven out while my friend almost lost his life and

his family! In the end, the project was taken over by another company with a huge asking price.”

“Is it that bad in Michigan?” Alex was startled. “Oh yes, it should not be underestimated.”

“Who is Lord Bale?”

“You must be familiar with Lord Gunther of California.

Lord Bale is just like him, but with more power and

greater capabilities. He is the leader of Hydra Group in Michigan and the president of the Southern

California

Business Association.”

“I also heard that the Sky Tower project has ties to the Southern California Business Association

Battles. In

fact, I am part of the association too, but I’m just an insignificant member. I can only watch the SCBA

Battles

from afar…”

“Oh, right. The tournament is just a week away from now. When the time comes, various expert fighters

will

compete against each other in the arena. Only the establishment behind the ultimate champion gets to

take the

Sky Tower project. Lord Bale is extremely powerful with many strong fighters. Sky Tower will be his,

without a doubt.” To Alex’s surprise, Charles knew more about the Sky Tower project than Lord Lex.

Recalling their conversation, it somehow made sense. Lord Lex didn’t give much thought about the Sky

Tower whatsoever previously, so naturally he didn’t understand much about the project. Alex said, “I am

very interested in the project, Charles. If I were to win the bid, you will take charge of the

construction itself.” Charles was shocked. “What do you mean, buddy?

I don’t understand!” Alex smiled. “Just get ready for it. You will know when the time comes.” He did not

reveal much information. Then, he took his leave. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Charles,

Hailey, I will not be disturbing your

mini reunion. Goodbye.”

Hailey blushed as she said, “I thought we are going to have a meal together?” Alex replied, “No, I don’t

want to intrude.”

“What about it?

I can’t do it today, even if he wanted to.”

“…”

In the end, Alex left only after the meal with them. ***

At this moment, Waltz Fleur had already returned to Maple Villa, accompanied by Nathan Pattingson.
