Matthew was a despicable and shameless man, and they understood Elise better than anyone else did. Elise must’ve been coerced into marrying Matthew; there was no other way. However, if they didn’t agree to his demands, Elise’s life would certainly be threatened. Thus, their only option right now was to calm Matthew down and have him free Elise first. At the same time, though… The Griffith Family’s problems can only be solved by the Griffiths themselves. Having come up with a plan, Robin replied coldly with a grave expression, “We’ll give the orders, but how are you gonna get married without the bride, Matthew?
Now that Elise is already yours, we can’t possibly sit by and watch you destroy her reputation!” Matthew was simply as bold as brass. “The wedding’s scheduled for three days later. Just give the orders and make the arrangements.” Robin didn’t accept his demands, though. “How can we talk about the wedding date if we can’t see Elise? The people are gonna make a laughingstock out of us Sinclairs!” However, Matthew asked in reply, “Won’t I be making a fool of myself if I don’t get to see Elise at our wedding?” He knew very well that Robin and Laura hated his guts right now. How could they possibly plan for his wedding with Elise with all their hearts? They would have Elise break up with him by hook or by crook.
I’m not that stupid. And besides, Elise is my only lifeline, so I’ll never let go of her! Seeing how determined Matthew was, Laura softened a little. “Well, since you’re marrying Elise, we’ve got to see her in person and ask for her opinion, right?” Matthew smirked. “Does her opinion still matter right now?” His smirk looked especially conceited in Laura and Robin’s eyes, but they could do nothing to hold Matthew down since Elise was now in his hands. Just then, Matthew parted his lips, saying, “Don’t worry. As long as you announce the date of our wedding, I’ll naturally have Elise freed and brought back.”
The date of the wedding will be known all over the world once it’s fixed. When I make an issue of the pictures then, Elise will definitely give in and marry me! he thought. With that, he turned around and left without waiting for Robin and Laura’s response. Robin struck the ground heavily with his stick while burning with anger. “Damn that *sshole! What makes him think he deserves our Elise? That’s simply wishful thinking!” I’ve seen a lot of shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as him before! he thought. He was worried about Elise’s safety, but he couldn’t really do as Matthew had said either.
After all, they couldn’t hold the wedding as scheduled after the date of the wedding was announced, especially when Elise was still Alexander’s fiancée at present. A lot of people will gossip about it if someone’s fiancée is suddenly going to marry his younger brother instead! thought Robin. Therefore, he called Alexander right away. Alexander had just received a text message from Matthew, but he had yet to read the text message at this moment. Robin scolded him, “Alexander, you’d better do something about the members of your family!
Are they nothing but a bunch of weirdos and *ssholes? How can he depend on a woman to get what he wants? Does he honestly think he’s an emperor who can demand for whatever he wants?” At this moment, Alexander didn’t know that Robin was referring to Matthew. Trying to soothe Robin’s anger, he replied in a low voice, “Please calm down first, Mr. Robin. Could you tell me about the matter in detail? Did anyone from our family offend you?” He hadn’t been visiting the Sinclair Family these days, and Madeline had been behaving herself since he had Danny and the others to watch over her in Athesea.
Robin reprimanded angrily, “Who else do you think I’m referring to? He nearly had Elise sent to jail last time, and now, he’s gotten his hands on her by despicable means and even wants her to marry him! He’s simply living in a dream world!” Upon hearing Robin’s words, Alexander instantly realized who the old man was referring to. Robin was referring to Matthew. He’s gotten his hands on Elise by despicable means… Alexander’s heart clenched at the words as he recalled the text message Matthew had just sent him. After all, Matthew was now full of hostility and vengeance against him.
Alexander’s hand almost trembled as he opened the text message. When he saw the intimate photos of Matthew and Elise that Matthew sent him, he felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow to the head, and his mind went blank. He couldn’t breathe, for he felt as though his throat was being squeezed by a pair of invisible large hands. Pangs of pain throbbed in the left side of his chest. “Deal with the members of your family yourself, Alexander. I’ll never let Matthew off since he’s hurt Elise this time. Also, I’m gonna get back at your mother this time for the hostility she showed toward Elise earlier!” Robin said angrily before hanging up. Alexander didn’t listen carefully to the words.
At this moment, his face was sullen, and his eyes were bloodshot. Rage oozed from his every pore, making him look like a demon who had just come from hell. He called Matthew. Matthew laughed conceitedly. “You’ve seen the pictures, right? Alexander, do you honestly think you’re so outstanding that everything in the world belongs to you? She’s now mine, and she’ll marry me very soon! Haha…” “You’re courting death!” Alexander clenched his teeth as his eyes popped with anger. If Matthew were before him right now, he would’ve died at his hands long ago!
Upon hearing Alexander’s words, Matthew imagined seeing the man standing before him in a towering rage, and his laugh grew even more conceited. “You wouldn’t dare to kill me. If I’m dead, Elise will lose her husband, right? Also, you’d better not try anything funny. If I vent my emotions on her in the heat of the moment…” “Matthew, you *sshole!” Alexander couldn’t hit Matthew, so he punched his fist into the wall as his anger went to his head.
Matthew heard the loud bang, which made him feel incredibly smug right now. He put forward his conditions to Alexander with a sneer, saying, “It’s your mother who taught me all this. Why care about the process and means as long as I get what I want? All I know is that I’m happy right now. Alexander, I have more than one copy of the pictures I sent you. If you love Elise, hand over everything you have right now.
Otherwise…” Alexander’s heart ached terribly. It’s really crazy of Matthew to do this! But what can I do? It’s my fault for being incapable of protecting Elise, so how can I let Matthew hurt her again at the moment? he thought. “Grandpa would’ve given you what you wanted even if you didn’t fight for them…”
