Chapter 335
Johan‘s eyes darkened slightly as he sank into deep thoughts.
Matthew was now a fugitive, so the only reason he initiated to come to Johan was that he wanted to use the latter to go after Alexander.
However, this encounter did not really mean much to Johan as even without Matthew, he would sooner or later make Alexander suffer too. However, the point was what advantage would he garner from Matthew?
On the other hand, Matthew actually came prepared. Seeing Johan‘s hesitation, he continued to rub Johan‘s nose in the dirt. “As far as I know, you just lost to Alexander in the auction recently. It has just not been long since then, yet you‘re getting screwed over by him again. One would rather die than be humiliated. Don‘t you want to seek revenge on him a hundredfold like a real man?”
Johan sneered coldly as he understood what was going on. “You‘re trying to provoke
me?”
Matthew curled his lips and put on an innocent smile. “I‘m just unhappy with his actions.”
Johan shrugged and had no intention to do Matthew this favor. “I‘m not interested in the dispute between you guys. However, let me remind you that there are quite a number of policemen around this area, so watch out.”
After saying that in a surly voice, Johan left directly without waiting for Matthew to respond
He was not that stupid. Although Alexander and Matthew were on bad terms, they were a family after all and this relationship could not be denied. If he agreed to join Matthew to teach Alexander a lesson today, he would be the only one suffering if the two men reconciled in the future. As such, he had no intention to be involved in this losing proposition.
Meanwhile, hatred flashed through Matthew‘s eyes as he stood at the spot and watched Johan leave.
One who lost his position and influence would easily be bullied by the others. He‘s just an ape who indulges in debauchery. How dare he too look down on me?Fine. I should teach you a lesson then.
Elise received a call from Janice the moment she came out of the restaurant.
Just as she was hesitating whether to answer the call, Alexander directly snatched her phone from the side and switched off its power. “Being indecisive will only put you at a disadvantage. Since when did you become this soft–hearted?”
Elise knew she was in an indefensible position, so she did not retort Alexander‘s words but merely stuck out her tongue mischievously and admitted his allegation.
Moments like this would show the difference between the personalities of a man and a woman. Although Elise was strong and independent, she was a girl after all, so she would become indecisive when faced with the vulnerable ones.
Nevertheless, the situation now was rather good–since Alexander shielded her from all these, she did not have to get involved with Janice anymore in the future.
Moreover, she had sought revenge on behalf of Janice today, so if Janice still had some integrity, she should know how to resolve the current plight.
Sometimes, having strong support would actually make one weak. In contrast, when she realized that she was completely on her own, she would learn to fix her problems herself.
“Do you want to go home or to school?” Alexander asked.
“School. There should be a lot of outstanding matters to be solved by me after such a long leave.”
In fact, this was her original plan for the morning, but it was postponed due to Janice‘s emergency situation. Elise disliked the feeling of accumulating pending tasks, so she wanted to settle all of them today.
“Head to Tissote University,” Alexander ordered.
“Yes, sir.” Cameron quickly started the car engine to send both of them to the university
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the university.
Alexander‘s eyes turned lazy and complicated as he sat in the car and watched Elise walk away. “How‘s the matter of hiring a private bodyguard going?”
“Everything is ready. The bodyguard will enter Tissote University as Miss Sinclair‘s classmate. I‘ve coordinated with the university to arrange for them to stay in the same hostel too.”
“Alright,” Alexander hummed indifferently as he kept his eyes glued to Elise.
It was only to this extent that he could be slightly relieved as he would never allow the situation to happen again––where Elise could not be contacted or located for several days.
When Elise walked into the hostel, it was extraordinarily quiet because Addison and the others were napping.
Şo, Elise softened her steps and walked toward her bed.
