“Wait for me,” Alexander said, then he hung up immediately after. Although he didn’t say much, Elise already understood. When she got home, Laura couldn’t help complaining to her, “I told you not to go, but you didn’t listen, and look what happened! You have been exposed to such negative scandals. How are you going to get married in the future?” “Let’s go. We can’t stay here anymore. Even if you don’t want to stay in the Northwest, I have many friends, and I’ll introduce you to a good one. The Griffiths are simply too condescending!” Robin hit his cane on the ground over and over again. Elise didn’t take it seriously. “How would I know that such a thing would happen today if I hadn’t gone?
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Grandpa, Grandma, I know you are worried about me, but I can’t leave now.” “Why?” Both of them almost asked in unison. “If I leave now, doesn’t that mean I’m admitting to all of their accusations?” Elise asked with a smile. Robin nodded, signaling that he felt what she said was indeed true. “Right now, I’m going to find out the person who slandered me and make an example out of them!” She wanted to tell everyone that she was not someone they could easily mess with! “Then you have to leave with us after you have dealt with this matter!”
Laura immediately spoke with a very serious tone. She knew that Elise must have her own opinions, but everything she said was easier said than done, especially considering Madeline’s prejudice. A marriage that was not blessed by elders would end up unhappy. So, they might as well end it before it all started. Elise didn’t say a word, but Robin took advantage of the situation to persuade her. “Elise, it’s not that I don’t agree with you two being together. You two had a marriage contract at the beginning, and I was also optimistic about Alexander when you got engaged later. But didn’t you see his mother’s attitude? If she can be so disrespectful and rude to us, wouldn’t it be even worse for you?
Grandma and I didn’t raise you just to see you suffer.” As he said that, Robin felt emotional and showed a disappointed look as he let out a long sigh at the same time. When Elise saw this, she felt a surge of complicated emotions. Although she couldn’t bear to leave Alexander, now… She reckoned she should listen to her grandparents. As for her and Alexander… If they were fated to be together, they couldn’t be separated no matter what. “Okay. I’ll leave with you when this is all over!” Elise finally nodded. Not long after, Alexander came.
Both Robin and Laura didn’t say anything when they saw him. They even left the room for the young couple to talk. Elise looked at him. She tried to open her lips to speak, but she stopped herself immediately. In fact, it was hard for her to speak up, but some things couldn’t be delayed, and some words would be better said sooner rather than later. “Alex, you have seen everything on the Internet. After I solve them all, I will go back to Northwest with my grandparents…” “Can you not go?”
Alexander knew that if he couldn’t solve the current situation properly, it would be better for Elise to return to the Northwest first in this case. In the next moment, he immediately pulled Elise into his arms. “I’ve let Matthew escape, but this time, I will handle it well. Elise, trust me—I will protect you well.
Can I go with you?” The Griffith Group was never something he really wanted to take over in the first place. He only took over because he was the eldest son of the Griffith family and because he was the older brother. Besides, it was also because the family needed such a person at that time.
Everything was as he said to his mother in the hospital today—he could do without Griffith Group. Elise was startled by Alexander’s words. “How can you?” If he leaves with me, wouldn’t that mean giving up the company? “Alexander, I know your sincerity toward me, but you are the heir of the Griffith Family, so you should take care of your family’s property. Your mother doesn’t like me now, but one day, she…”
