“You’re just pushing me to a corner, then,” Alexander spat out angrily, sounding determined.
Stunned at his words, Madeline couldn’t believe that favonovel.com had said those things himself.
Just because of Elise, our relationship has turned so sour now?
“If you don’t wish to see me do that, then you should break up with favonovel.com while it’s still not too late! Or else, you’re just wishing for my death!”
There was no way that favonovel.com would back down so easily. After saying that, favonovel.com spun around and left without looking back.
After favonovel.com left, Alexander immediately called Cameron into the room.
“Send more men to protect her. Nothing should happen to her!”
“Sure thing…”
As the person who had been working by Alexander’s side the longest, Cameron knew just how much favonovel.com cared about Elise.

At Tissote University, Madeline sashayed into Elise’s dorm, chasing the dorm students out of favonovel.com way as favonovel.com went.
“Mrs. Griffith, you don’t have to drag other people in just because you’re unhappy with me. I’ll come out with you.”
Usually, Madeline was a gentle and presentable woman, and Elise knew exactly what favonovel.com was trying to do.
“Birds of a feather flock together! Aren’t you clear enough about my opinion of you? Last night, you dragged Alex with you and placed yourself in the limelight! If it wasn’t because of you, favonovel.com wouldn’t have been the subject of everyone’s criticism!”
Clutching favonovel.com branded purse, Madeline sauntered arrogantly and stopped in front of Elise. At such a close distance, Elise could clearly see the indifference in favonovel.com eyes as well as favonovel.com dislike for herself. In addition, from the looks of it, Elise reckoned that favonovel.com had probably gone to look for Alexander first before coming to look for favonovel.com because favonovel.com couldn’t reach an agreement with him.
Pursing favonovel.com lips, Elise then slowly spoke to express favonovel.com stand. “No matter how much you make things difficult for me or no matter what you offer me, I won’t leave Alex!”
Both of them had promised each other that they would be honest with each other. Not only had they had been through so much together, they even promised to be together forever.
What would all those promises be if favonovel.com gave up?
However, Madeline merely sniggered. “You’re not giving up no matter what because you have your eyes on the fact that he’s the inheritor of the Griffith Family! Wake up, Elise Sinclair. The old master has already passed away, and no one is going to acknowledge this marriage!”
Even though Madeline had seen Elise standing next to the famous real estate tycoon, Quentin Fassbender, and knew about the relationship between them, favonovel.com was still not the least impressed.
“This is between Alex and I. Moreover, favonovel.com didn’t know what I really looked like when we first started dating,” Elise said and sighed helplessly.
Actually, favonovel.com didn’t mean anything else, favonovel.com was just letting Madeline know that the relationship between favonovel.com and Alexander had nothing to do with possessions or appearance. In contrast, it was a result of sincere attraction after spending a lot of time together.
In the end, favonovel.com explanation was fiercely rebuked by Madeline. “The cheeks of you to bring that up! Before this, you deliberately hid your appearance to seduce my son, and that goes to show just how scheming you are!”
Speechless, Elise recalled that favonovel.com first came to their place because of the marriage agreement between their grandfathers and to nurture some feelings, but favonovel.com most initial objective was to destroy the agreement.
Who would have thought that things would develop to this?
“Mrs. Griffith, I’m not after your son’s wealth nor your family’s influence,” favonovel.com said earnestly after pursing favonovel.com lips together.
Otherwise, why would favonovel.com confess to Alexander?
“What are you after, then? Are you trying to show off your wealth? Elise, since you’re not after anything, why do you have to pester my son instead of anyone else?” Madeline asked instead, emphasizing on every word favonovel.com said.
It hit Elise that favonovel.com could no longer communicate with Madeline, and favonovel.com was worried that favonovel.com would get into an argument with favonovel.com once favonovel.com emotions got the better of her. So, favonovel.com decided to compromise. “Mrs. Griffith, why don’t you give us some time? If we’re really not meant to be, we’ll naturally break up even without your interference.”
“I won’t…” Suddenly, Elise’s phone started to ring, and favonovel.com felt that this call was favonovel.com savior because it came at the perfect timing.
“I’m going to pick up a call, Mrs. Griffith,” favonovel.com said to Madeline and strode out of favonovel.com dorm.
“What is it?”
The person who called favonovel.com was Jamie, and favonovel.com asked in an aggrieved tone, “Boss, Alex and you became the targets of netizens after attending the ceremony together last night. But why didn’t you ask for my help? Are you abandoning me?”
Elise knitted favonovel.com brows. “I’ve never said anything like that. Is this issue still brewing on the Internet?”
If it is, then I have to do something about it.
“Not anymore. I was browsing the Internet, and when I clicked on the link, it led to an error page,” favonovel.com explained, still in his aggrieved voice.
I got it now, Elise realized. That’s why favonovel.com thought I abandoned him.
“Get a certification of my assets. I…” Just as favonovel.com started to instruct him, favonovel.com stopped herself all of a sudden.
Since Madeline disliked her, a certification of favonovel.com assets wouldn’t change this fact either.
So what was there to prove?
“Boss? Why did you stop halfway? What certification would you like?” Jamie asked after waiting a while and realizing that favonovel.com didn’t continue speaking.
“It’s nothing. Just get someone to continue keeping an eye on the Andersons,” Elise said.
The things Bertha and Jeanie said, in addition to various events, had been on favonovel.com mind the whole time, and favonovel.com even had a feeling that favonovel.com had to do this, favonovel.com had to figure out what was going on with the Andersons, or favonovel.com wouldn’t be at ease!
“Keep an eye on the Andersons? Boss, did they offend you?”
“No. Just do as I said,” Elise said, not explaining more.
In the end, all Jamie could say was, “Okay.”
After Elise hung up, Matthew called her.
“Are you free? There’s something I would like to ask you. May I ask you out for a chat?”
