Chapter 84
Elizabeth glanced at Alexander, a bit surprised. At Lily's birthday party, Esme gave Lily fake rare saffron in front of all those infantry hip shots. Was that a huge deal?
Thabeth looked at me and realized that the more vulnerable one appears, the more sympathy they receive.
"I'm mutt here," Elizabeth said, not wanting to stick around.
โElizabeth,โ Alexander called after her.
Wanting to follow, but Erme changed her mind. โAlexander, everyone at the party last night was questioning me. I was soโฆ"
Ekzabeth didn't lock the door and left.
Alexander honked, stopped his Lome, and had to chase after Elizabeth.
โWhat happened at the party?โ Mesander asked as he helped Esme into the villa.
Exme, holding back tears, suddenly asked, โAlexander, did you change the villa password?โ
She had tried many times at the door, but the password was wrong. If she tried again, the system would issue a warning, so she didnโt dare to try anymore.
โI changed it,โ Alexander said calmly.
Esmir emitted a single word, โWhy?โ
He replied indifferently, โIโve used the old password for years. Sudden changes always cause me to make mistakes.โ
Esme bit her lip. She didnโt know what the old password was. Without the password, she couldnโt freely enter the villa, which meant she was still being kept out.
When would she finally become part of Alexanderโs family? The Perry family.
When Elizabeth got home, Grant and Celine were waiting for her on the couch.
Elizabeth, holding her high heels, tried to sneak upstairs but got caught.
โGrandpa, Grandma, nothing to do today?โ Elizabeth called out softly.
โVirne waiting for you?โ Celineโs tone was serious.
Elizabeth cleared her throat and stood obediently in front of them.
They asked, โWhy didnโt you come home last night? Where did you go? Did you see Alexander? Are you rekindling your old flame?โ
Elizabeth was helpless in the face of her grandparentsโ barrage of questions.
Elizabeth pouted, dropped her high heels, and sat next to Grant, feeling wronged. โGrandpa, I got hurt last night and went to the hospital. Alexander doesnโt like me. We have no feelings for each other, so how could we rekindle anything?โ
Grand immediately asked, โWhere did you get hurt?โ
โElizabeth, the Perrys must have backbone! Donโt cry over spilled milk. If you dare to rekindle things with Alexander, Iโll beโฆโ
Celine snorted, pretending to be the first to jump down on Elizabeth.
Elizabeth watched Celine finish. Alexander had indeed been courting her lately. She felt reluctant. But she understood that Alexanderโs kindness was all an act.
Chapter 24
She used to naively think Alexander was slowly accepting her, comforting and convincing herself, but not anymore.
Celine stood up, her expression serious. She glared at Elizabeth and said, โIโve arranged everything with the hospital. You go report there immediately to study medicine!โ
โGrandma, Iโฆโ Elizabeth wanted to play for a few more days.
Celine smiled, looking at Elizabeth with a meaningful expression. โEither show me the divorce certificate right now, or go report to the hospital. Your choice!โ
