“Alex, cut that crap! I don’t need you to criticize me. Everyone is aiming for peace, but Elise wants to force people to death! I will put my words here: You have to let Maya go right now!” Madeline angrily and outrightly refuted Alexander’s words. Meanwhile, Maya’s parents did not have her toughness. In order to save their daughter, they could only kneel down before Elise. “Miss Sinclair, I beg you to let our daughter go. Maya was wrong. When she’s released, I will definitely bring her to apologize to you, and we promise you that we will make sure she won’t have anything to do with Alexander ever again! Please… I beg of you…” Aside from begging her, Maya’s parents even began to kowtow toward Elise.
Elise was very upset to see such a scene, and she was indeed swayed. However, Alexander remained tough and said coldly, “If she knew she was wrong, would she still have done such a thing? You can’t just apologize because she’s afraid of facing legal sanctions. If everyone did this and apologized for killing someone, should we then pretend that nothing happened?” Alexander wouldn’t want to allow Maya to escape like this, and he didn’t want Elise to spare her at all. If she didn’t learn her lesson properly, she would never know what she did wrong! “Alex, you grew up with Maya.
She was such a kind girl that she would help those poor children and homeless old people whenever she went out, so how could she possibly kill? She only did such a wrong thing because she didn’t think it through in the first place. Can’t you give her another chance? I promise you—when she is released, I will take her out of here and never let her disturb you again, okay?” The Dahlens were crying so pitifully, and their voices were choked with tears—every word they said stirred Elise’s heart.
That being so, Alexander was not moved. “Alexander, stay out of this matter!” Madeline narrowed her brows, shot him a glare, and warned him in a low voice. When he heard that, Alexander merely sneered, “Elise is my fiancée; how can I not get involved in this matter? Mom, it’s okay that you don’t like Elise, but you shouldn’t bring them here like this. If you still see me as your son, take them and leave immediately!” “Or what?
Are you going to denounce our mother-son relationship?” Madeline felt both pained and ridiculed after hearing Alexander’s words. He was her son that she had raised for more than 20 years. Her husband was already estranged from her, and now even her son? Madeline was reluctant to accept this fact. “Alexander Griffith, I’m your mother. Do you think the person I favor could be that bad? The person who loves you will not be bad; she can help you in every way, and she—” “Even if you praised Maya to the sky, Mom, I won’t fall for her,” Alexander interrupted Madeline coldly.
