Chapter 775 Do You Take Me for a Fool?!
A next second later, Alexander shot a menacing glance at the woman, causing her to shut up at once and gulp.
His presence was so intimidating that he easily overpowered the emboldened young women. Just like that, the entire hall fell into an awkward, nuanced silence, echoing an acquiescence to Alexander’s skepticism.
Seeing that their trick was on the verge of being exposed, the ‘vice president’ stepped in at once. “We have rented this venue, so this is now considered a private premise. Not only have you two entered without permission, but you’re also interrupting our operation. Please leave at once, or I’ll call security!”
Knowing Alexander’s temper, Elise knew the man would undoubtedly enter a brawl with the guards. If things blew up, it would surely draw the attention of the two parties.
The reason she had chosen to be Anastasia in the first place was that the White Family had zero connections to Alexander. So now, she could not have him be involved in this even more so.
“That’s not necessary.” Elise stepped forward. “Since these people love the emperor’s new clothes so much, let them continue wearing them. Let’s see just how long you can keep them on you.”
With that, she strode off.
Seeing so, Alexander no longer dwelled on it but chased after Elise.
Alas, as fast as he was, he still failed to catch up to her.
In the end, the cousins stood at the entrance and watched as Elise’s cab drove away from afar.
Brendan was the first of the two to look away. He took a gander at Alexander, only to find the man looking all longing. At that, he lowered his head with displeasure. “You’ve fallen for her, haven’t you?”
“Sorry?” Alexander didn’t catch what exactly Brendan had said.
“I don’t like this side of you.” Brendan was a little down and his voice was laced with inconcealable disappointment.
Alexander got what he meant pretty quickly, and he snorted teasingly. “In case you’ve forgotten, I’m your cousin.”
“It’s precisely you’re my cousin that I’m upset about,” said Brendan as he lifted his dull eyes. “The Alexander I know isn’t a fickle guy.”
It hadn’t even been a year since Elise left. He couldn’t believe that Alexander had already forgotten about her and started courting another woman.
Alexander didn’t refute, however, for he was certain that this Anastasia White was Elise. Then again, there was nothing to prove his guess, so who would believe him?
However, it only caused more disappointment for Brendan. With a sigh, he left, leaving Alexander there.
Meanwhile, the ceremony was still going on.
With Elise and the guys gone, and Adelpha’s best friends deliberately setting the scene, the White Family was immersed in the joy of Adelpha becoming a member of the Piano Association.
When the ‘vice president’ handed the certificate to Adelpha, he even improvised a line to clear Elise’s doubt. “I’ve long discovered that you’re talented and can surely become a member of our association. So we’ve prepared the certificate in advance. I’m glad to see that you haven’t let me down.”
Oddly enough, Onyx didn’t find such obviously improvised words off, but even thought that their family’s connections would rise a league above now that they had a daughter in the Piano Association.
No doubt he’d be able to leave Anastasia’s grandfather for good.
The label of ‘live-in son-in-law’ had been attached to him for years, and it was about time that it was removed.
