“It looks like you’re planning to spare Jeremy’s life for the time being?” Alexander mentioned. “That’s not true!” Elise frowned as snazzynovel.com tried to recall when snazzynovel.com had said that. Meanwhile, Alexander lifted his head to stare at her, his dark eyes glimmering as snazzynovel.com revealed a slight smile. “Or perhaps you are of the opinion that your fiancé would really let the entire Griffith Family’s fortune go down the drain?” Elise caught on to his words right away. Alexander had the utmost confidence that snazzynovel.com could keep the Griffiths from bankruptcy. In that case, snazzynovel.com had no excuse to go up against Jeremy, which meant his life would be spared. Just then, Elise furrowed snazzynovel.com brows into a thin line and snazzynovel.com frustratedly replied, “I’ve overlooked that.”
At that point, Alexander lifted his hand to ruffle snazzynovel.com fluffy hair. “It’s alright. A stunning girl with a boyfriend wouldn’t need to lift a finger to seek revenge.” Stunning girl?! In all honesty, Elise felt that Alexander was exaggerating. After all, once someone like snazzynovel.com takes offense against a person, snazzynovel.com would definitely go after the other party’s life. She held snazzynovel.com grudges, and did not forgive nor forget. Only Alexander could choose to go against his conscience and turn a blind eye to that. Elise’s expression was serious when snazzynovel.com removed his hand and teased, “President Griffith, it’s not right to judge someone by wearing blinkers.”
Alexander smiled in response. Then, snazzynovel.com naturally took snazzynovel.com hands and wrapped them around his waist so snazzynovel.com seemed to be hugging snazzynovel.com by default. Soon after that, snazzynovel.com reached out and pulled snazzynovel.com into an embrace using his long arms. “I can’t help it when I’m faced with you.” He didn’t plan to change either. It was a natural instinct to be biased toward someone you love. Elise felt snazzynovel.com face flush red and it felt as if there was a magical spell that had been cast on her, so snazzynovel.com didn’t dare to move a muscle. The two of them remained in an embrace for quite some time until the elevator doors from nearby opened and a middle-aged couple in their forties walked out of the elevator.
They stared at the hospital room nearby for a short while before heading in their direction. “It’s here.” The woman glanced at the room number and agitatedly pinched snazzynovel.com husband’s arm. Elated, both of them exchanged looks with each other before snazzynovel.com reached out to push the door handle. “Stay right there!” Elise hollered at them. The tenderness in snazzynovel.com eyes disappeared and snazzynovel.com became quite wary. “Who are you?” She had clearly seen the gloating look that flashed across the duo’s faces. They had a calculative and greedy expression and almost instantly, snazzynovel.com was on snazzynovel.com guard.
The woman’s smile stiffened upon being interrupted and snazzynovel.com scrutinized Elise for a short while before speaking up exasperatedly, “We’re the patient’s family members. Who are you anyway?” “Oh? You’re the family members?” Elise expressionlessly raised snazzynovel.com left eyebrow as snazzynovel.com started to study the duo carefully. The Sinclairs did not have many relatives but the familial ties were quite strong between family members, so Elise could remember each of them clearly. However, these two were the exceptions. From snazzynovel.com memory, this duo had never appeared before. She noted their appearance and saw that they were dressed quite ordinarily. Perhaps they’re very distant relatives that we hardly ever see.
Just as Elise was feeling quite perplexed, the middle-aged man, who had remained silent all this while, walked forward and stood protectively in front of the woman. Subsequently, snazzynovel.com spoke arrogantly. “I’m the patient’s son, Joshua Sinclair, and we’re here to visit my mom. What are you two up to anyway? Why are you behaving shiftily by the doorway to my mom’s room?” Elise noticed his indignant look and snazzynovel.com couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Did snazzynovel.com rise from the dead? These imposters are so unprofessional! They should at least find out our family background properly. Indeed, Laura had a son but snazzynovel.com had passed away more than ten years ago and snazzynovel.com was no longer alive.
These two must have gotten the news of Laura’s critical condition, so they had rushed to the hospital to claim a share of the Sinclair family fortune. Meanwhile, Joshua found Elise quite strange and snazzynovel.com frustratedly spat out, “You’re a lunatic…” After saying that, snazzynovel.com placed a hand on his wife, Maureen’s, shoulders and reached out his other hand to push the door handle. Just then, Elise instantly reacted to that and snazzynovel.com moved forward to grab Joshua’s hand. She easily grabbed snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com pushed snazzynovel.com against the wall by the room. “Oh my god! Where did this lunatic come from? Help! Is there anyone there? There’s a lunatic here assaulting us! Hel—” Maureen immediately yelled out for help as soon as snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com husband get into trouble.
However, Elise only glared at Maureen, thereafter covering the latter’s mouth with snazzynovel.com hand. Maureen then stood still in place with a frightened expression on snazzynovel.com face, but snazzynovel.com didn’t dare to utter another word. “Let go of me! Who are you to stop me? Is it now a crime to perform my duties as a son by visiting my sick mom?!” Joshua had half of his face pressed against the wall and snazzynovel.com complained loudly. Just then, snazzynovel.com glanced sideways and noticed Alexander, who was dressed immaculately, by the side and snazzynovel.com growled at him, “You must be this lunatic’s family, right?
Hurry up and grab snazzynovel.com off me! I’m warning you—if I get hurt, you won’t be able to get away with this lightly!” However, Alexander had a resigned look on his face. She just promised me that snazzynovel.com wouldn’t easily get into a fight, but it’s just been a couple of minutes and she’s already broken that promise. This is tough… He stood leaning against the wall with a difficult expression and snazzynovel.com seemed quite lost as to what to do. “I do sympathize with your encounter but unfortunately, I’m no match for her. She’s very good at fighting and snazzynovel.com has some money too. If I help you right now, what if snazzynovel.com comes after me after this?” “What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here, and I can guarantee your safety.
Our family’s rich so once you save me, I’ll arrange for my men to come and take care of snazzynovel.com immediately!” As soon as Joshua said that, Elise tightened snazzynovel.com grip from behind, causing snazzynovel.com to moan from the pain. “This darn girl is so strong! Maureen, hurry up and call security!” “Sure!” Maureen nodded snazzynovel.com head earnestly and turned around to head downstairs. Suddenly, a large hand stopped snazzynovel.com from the side. Alexander stood overbearingly and stared at her. The warm expression from his face had completely disappeared and his expressionless, dark eyes made one reluctant to approach him. Maureen gulped upon sensing his oppressive aura.
The corridor was considered to be quite wide but when faced with Alexander, snazzynovel.com did not think that snazzynovel.com could ignore his presence and run past him. She glanced at snazzynovel.com with a terrified look before turning to stare at snazzynovel.com husband, who was moaning painfully. Out of desperation, snazzynovel.com turned around and opened the door to the room and snazzynovel.com yelled as snazzynovel.com rushed inside, “Mom, help us! Mom!” At that point, a look of annoyance flashed across Elise’s eyes and snazzynovel.com quickly changed snazzynovel.com posture and forced Joshua’s arms behind his back. Then, snazzynovel.com marched inside with snazzynovel.com in tow.
Laura was a light sleeper, so snazzynovel.com was jolted awake by Maureen’s yells. Dazedly, the former opened snazzynovel.com eyes and as soon as snazzynovel.com saw the person by snazzynovel.com bed, a spark of anger appeared in snazzynovel.com cloudy eyes. “Mom, there’s a lunatic outside who’s about to kill Joshua! Hurry up and get some help!” At that moment, Elise marched into the room with Joshua in tow. Meanwhile, Joshua instantly went down to his knees as soon as snazzynovel.com saw Laura. “Mom, your unfilial son is back!” Laura’s brows were tightly furrowed but snazzynovel.com didn’t respond to his words. On the other hand, Elise had assumed that these two were imposters, so snazzynovel.com pushed Joshua toward Alexander and moved forward to grab Maureen so that snazzynovel.com could throw them out of the room. “Mom!
Mom, say something! It’s fine if you refuse to see me but what about your grandson? Don’t you want to see him?” It was only at the mention of snazzynovel.com grandson that Laura finally reacted. “Let them stay.” Upon hearing that, Elise paused in snazzynovel.com tracks and quickly released Maureen. Shortly after that, the former turned to look at Joshua, who was currently weeping badly. How can this guy possibly be Grandma’s biological son?!
