Though she is pretty, what is the use of that? She’s merely a decoration piece—she can’t help Alexander with his business like my goddaughter can!” When she saw that the situation had turned out like this, she figured she could just tell them everything honestly at that point. In her eyes, it didn’t matter how bad she’d be perceived as long as she could drive Elise away from Alexander! “Mom, why are you acting this way? Elise is very helpful, and she is even friends with Jack’s manager. Last time, she even assisted Jack to modify his song, and not to mention Brendan—with the help of Elise, the items he designed are all a hit!”
He was basically implying that since she was already so capable and could help them make money, how was she not helpful? Madeline glared at Danny, hoping that he would shut up. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t like our Elise. We only came here today just for peace of mind. Since you’re awake now, let me tell you properly: We don’t agree with this engagement either!” It was clear that Elise and Alexander truly loved each other—she was very reluctant to separate from him, but now that it had come to this, Robin would never accept their relationship! “Oh, that’s even better!”
Madeline sneered coldly. This was the first time she met the old couple of the Sinclair Family, and they parted on a sour note. … When Alexander arrived at the ward, Madeline, who was lying on the bed, shouted that she wanted to be discharged. “That’s enough.” Alexander frowned, his face full of displeasure. “I’m doing this for your own good. Your heart was taken away by Elise. Do you honestly think that my death would be a relief for you?” Alexander was disappointed. After this matter of life and death, not only did Madeline not mellow down, she intensified instead.
These words just added fuel to the fire. Alexander was packing her things, and when he heard her words, he threw the things in his hand angrily. “Mom, you’ve really let me down. If you are still stubborn, I can only step down from Griffith Group.” “How dare you!” Madeline would never have imagined that Alexander would give up on Griffith Group for Elise! Alexander had managed the Griffith Group for many years now. How could he just get out of the game? “No. How could you just let go of the company like this? Besides, all your brothers have no interest in managing the business.
And don’t you know the Griffith Group was your grandfather’s hard work?” Madeline persuaded him strongly—she was obviously flustered. Alexander smiled coldly. “Mom, since you are so powerful, you can manage the company yourself.” How could Madeline not hear the sarcasm in his words? “Do you have to make things like this just because of Elise?” Madeline felt a deep pain in her heart, and her head was dizzy. Alexander laughed bitterly, but his tone was unchanged. “Isn’t this what you wanted to see? I’m just doing what you want.
Mom, who is your ideal daughter-in-law? Maya? Just because she is your goddaughter?” Alexander’s words were spoken clearly. However, as soon as his words fell, Maya’s voice rang. “Alex, I really love you, but I have never asked for anything from Godmother. If I have the luck to become your wife, I will of course cherish the opportunity!” She looked at Madeline and Alexander pitifully, but even then, her black eyes were full of hope and longing. “I’ve only ever loved Elise in my life, and only she can be my wife!” Alexander’s thin lips twitched, and his voice rang.
“I don’t think you need to be discharged from the hospital anymore. Just continue to stay in the hospital, and I’ll call the doctor to come over and examine you well later!” After speaking, Alexander turned around and left. Madeline shivered angrily. “Because of Elise, you are insinuating that I’m sick in the head? Alexander, I think you are the one who is sick—you’ve been bewitched by her!” “Alex…” Maya chased after him. Alexander’s pace was fast, so she could only speed up her pace. Immediately, she ran in front of Alexander. Being afraid that Alexander would push her away, she could only grab onto his sleeves. “Alex, can you not walk so fast? Can you listen to what I have to say?”
Maya panted heavily. “There’s nothing to talk about between us.” Alexander waved his hand and immediately shook off her hand before distancing himself from her. However, Maya persisted, and her attitude was very firm. “Yes, there is. Do you remember what you said when we were young? You said you would protect me, and I’ve been holding onto it ever since. Alex, I know Elise is very important in your heart, and I am trying to do all I can about it, but can you give me a chance? Can you not give up before I even have the chance to prove myself?”
Her eyes were glazed with a layer of tears as she said this. Alexander wasn’t moved—not even a tiny bit. He was stoic and expressionless. “I have her now, so I don’t need anything to happen between us. Maya, you are quite excellent. I hope you can find a good man soon.” After speaking, Alexander left without looking back. That one sentence sent daggers flying right into Maya’s heart! She couldn’t accept it at all.
So, she immediately contacted Elise. “Elise, I have something I want to talk to you about alone. It’s the truth about the scandals that you and your godfather once had on the Internet. Haven’t you always wanted to know who was behind it? Come and meet me, and I’ll tell you then.” On Elise’s side, Robin and Laura were packing up and preparing to take Elise back to the prairie on the northwest as soon as possible.
