Originally, neither Robin nor Laura noticed that he was back, but when they heard his voice, they immediately raised their heads. “When I suggested this engagement with your grandfather, I thought that the relationship between our two families would last forever, and that my girl would have a good home. Tell me—what did you promise me when you first got engaged?” Seeing Alexander’s remorseful look, Robin grew even more furious and tapped the ground with his cane angrily. Elise had an accident here, and it was related to Alexander’s mother.
No matter what, Alexander was to blame as he was the one who didn’t take good care of his baby grandchild! “I remember all of them. It was me—I didn’t take good care of her. I didn’t have the ability…” When Alexander heard what Robin asked, he thought back, and his mind instantly took him back to how he and Elise looked when they met at the door of the restaurant. However, Robin didn’t buy any of it. He continued to say angrily, “Enough with the nonsense—are your mother and Elise being framed? Or was it all your mother’s acting?”
At that point, all Robin could only think about was Elise—his dear Elise, who always told good news and not bad news. If Robin hadn’t received this anonymous call this time, he really wouldn’t have known that such a big thing had happened to Elise. He also did some digging and found out that Alexander’s mother did not approve of his relationship with Elise. “Mr. Robin, this matter has nothing to do with my mother. They were framed, and I’ve arranged for my subordinates to continue investigating until evidence is found. Don’t worry. I won’t let Elise be wronged for nothing!”
Alexander said to Robin, guaranteeing her return and also showing his determination at the same time. Robin didn’t listen to a word he said, but instead, he roared directly, “I’m not interested in what you said. Think of a way for me to meet Elise!” All of a sudden, Laura, who had not spoken before, shouted angrily as well, “Besides, you don’t have to promise us anything anymore. Yes, you are the heir of the Griffith Family, and your family indeed is great, but we, the Sinclairs, are not so bad ourselves after all. That is it—I will bring Elise with me. Forget the engagement or anything; we’ve never accepted a cent from you anyway. So when the time comes, just hold a media conference and clarify it then!”
When he heard this, Alexander felt as if his heart was being stabbed by knives over and over again. But what could he say? Elise was their beloved grandchild. As a matter of fact, he knew very well that if he didn’t investigate this matter thoroughly and clear Elise’s name, he would never have the confidence to stand in front of the two of them ever again. With that in mind, Alexander immediately instructed Cameron to increase the manpower and material resources for the investigation. Soon, the police had received the surveillance. With two parties investigating at the same time, they were able to quickly clear up the matter. Everything pointed to Matthew.
In addition to that, Quentin also found a top defense lawyer for them, so both Elise and Quentin were finally acquitted, while Matthew became wanted. At the same time, at a pier somewhere at Athesea. “Matthew, don’t ever come back again. Let go of your hatred too. I just hope you’ll be well. Otherwise, the police will get you…” The moment the police issued the arrest warrant for Matthew, Heather was the first one to be notified. So, she brought Matthew to the pier as soon as she heard. However, Matthew threw the card Heather gave him to the ground, and he was furious.
“What do you mean by this, Heather? You just can’t wait for me to f*ck up and get caught, can you? Let me ask you this: To you, am I that incompetent? So incomptent compared to Alexander Griffith that you think I can’t even go against him?” He couldn’t come to terms with it—his plan was clearly flawless, but Alexander still managed to find a flaw, and he had now become a wanted criminal. There was no one around who could help him, yet Heather was trying to persuade him to leave like this. “No, Matthew. I never meant that. I just hope you’ll be well. You have seen Alexander’s attitude toward Elise—how could he let you go easily this time?”
Heather bent down to pick up the bank card and handed it to Matthew again with tears in her eyes. She really loved Matthew with all her heart. Even if Matthew was indifferent to her, she still couldn’t watch him suffer alone. “Matthew, c-can I go with you?” She was afraid, so afraid that she would never be able to see him again after parting with him this time. “Heather… I’m a wanted criminal now.” Matthew looked at her—his heart was filled with complicated emotions. He never would have thought that she would be the one by his side when he was at his lowest, and she even wanted to go with him.
Heather sobbed and choked. “I don’t care. I don’t care about all that, Matthew. I just want to be with you…” “Heather, thank you. Don’t worry. When I kill Alexander, I will definitely come back and marry you!” He forcefully peeled Heather’s hand off, pushed her away, and boarded the ship resolutely. Heather chased after him without hesitation. … “President Griffith, Matthew took Heather Langford to international waters.” When Alexander brought Robin and Laura to greet Elise outside the police station, Cameron called him. “Go after him! Bring him back, dead or alive!”
When Alexander said these words, his face was expressionless—there was even a hint of cruelty in his eyebrows. Robin stood beside him, and he could hear what Alexander said clearly. The initiator was Matthew Griffith, Alexander’s younger brother, and Matthew wanted to kill Alexander but instead accidentally killed Jonah. How could he not hold grudges when Matthew escaped this time? The infighting between this family was so serious. How could he allow Elise to be with Alexander any longer?
So when he saw Elise coming out of the police station, he immediately led Laura to Elise and grabbed Elise’s hand. “Come. Let’s go home!” He took her all the way to their car without even batting an eye at Alexander. When Elise saw what was happening, she understood it immediately. “Grandpa, this has nothing to do with Alexander. Please don’t blame him.”
