The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 605
Barn!
Claire was thrown to the ground harshly and her nose bled as she fell face first. The impact woke her
up
instantly. âA car crash! A car crash! Which bastards ran into our carâ¦?â
Before Claire could understand her situation, she started screaming because she thought the car crash
had just
happened. Suddenly, she was slapped across the face and a womanâs voice said coldly, âShut up and
be quiet, or Iâll kill
you!â This womanâs accent seemed slightly off, she didnât sound American.
Claireâs face was swollen from the slap, which also snapped her back to her senses. She realized that
she was
in an unfamiliar room and her daughters were lying on the ground unconscious. Next to her were three
other people in masks, hence she couldnât see who they were.
However, the looks in
their eyes were enough to strike fear in her heart. âWho⦠who are you? What are you doing? Do you
want money? Iâll give you everything I have, just please
donât hurt us.â
Claireâs voice was trembling. As someone who had never experienced anything like this, she
was extremely terrified. She kept screaming at her daughters as well. âDorothy, Beatrice! Wake up!
Please wake up!â
Smack!
Just then, the masked woman slapped her across the face again.
âLike I said, shut up!â Claire screamed as she fell to the ground. Suddenly, she seemed to have figured
something out. âI understand now, that scum Rockefeller must have
hired you! That damn bastard!
How dare he get mad when he was the one who was caught cheating? How
dare he hire someone to run into our car and kidnap us? Tell that scum to come out, come out now!â
She screamed with all her might, as if her assumptions were true.
The masked woman shook her head, clearly running out of patience. She felt as if slapping wasnât
effective, hence she took out a shiny dagger, waving it in front of Claireâs eyes, filling her with more
terror. Slashâ¦
The tip of the dagger flashed before her eyes. At that moment, she couldnât scream at all, as if her
throat had
been clogged up.
Just then, she felt a sharp stinging pain on her face. Touching her cheek gently, she realized that her
hand was covered in blood. The masked woman had slashed her face. Her face was ruined. Claireâs
body trembled intensely. She covered her face as blood continued to flow out of her wound.
She could feel her legs going weak, she was so terrified that she wanted to scream for help again.
However, she knew that if she screamed, she might die in a blink of an eye. She could only use her
other hand
to cover her mouth shut.
âThatâs more I like it. You were being quite a b*tch, you know?â The masked woman seemed to be
proud of
her actions. âCall your son-in-law now!â Claire immediately thought. âSo it really was that damn scum
Alex who did this to us.â She hated his guts, but she couldnât do anything but tremble in fear.
Claire could only listen to their orders and call Alex. However, she couldnât seem to get the call through
for
some reason. The masked woman took a look at her phone and slammed it to the ground. âBaka!â
âYou were blocked!
Looks like youâre just a useless mother-in-law!â
âTake her away and kill her!â With this, Claire started panicking even more. She begged for her life.
âNo! Donât kill me! Donât! I am useful, I really am⦠What are you trying to do?
Iâll do my best to cooperate! Didnât Alex hire you to deal with me? Whatâ¦business do you have with
Alex? Did
he offend you? We have nothing to do with him!
My daughter had decided to divorce him!â The masked womanâs eyes turned cold. âWhat? Divorce?
Then⦠We canât threaten him! Then why would
we need you for? Kill her!â
