Chapter 887 The Caring Wife
“Jamie, what kind of sick joke are you pulling?” Julius’ expression was just as nasty. Anastasia was now Alexander’s new love, so she wasn’t a stranger to Julius. Yet, Julius only knew a tad bit about the other party’s connection.
She could be like other women who replaced Mrs. Griffith, but that never meant that she could replace Elise and lead Dragonweiss.
“I’m not kidding,” Jamie continued, as though he was not afraid of death. “We have already been without a leader for such a long time, so it’s high time for someone to take us to new heights. Miss White is powerful, so this position is hers!”
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to gaze at Elise, acting as though he was utterly smitten. There wouldn’t be any issues now that she had masked her true identity. Since her life was full of hope, how could he not worship her?
Arthur narrowed his eyes at his words and could barely reign in his murderous aura. “I won’t stop you if you want to betray us, but only Elise can give me orders. Since we don’t share the same principles, we’ll go our separate ways today. So don’t look for me anymore!”
At that, Arthur turned and walked toward the door of the ward. When he passed Elise, she hurriedly removed her voice disguise and used her original tone to address him. “Are you leaving me too, Arthur?”
He stopped in his tracks. It was as if someone had pressed his acupuncture point; he froze on the spot. His eyes even widened to the size of saucers when his mind registered just to who the owner of this voice belonged.
Although it took Arthur a long time to regain his composure, he saw Elise’s wise eyes when he turned his head. Sure, that familiar voice and gaze were definitely Elise, but why did she hide it under another identity?
A while later, Arthur suddenly realized something and excitedly grabbed her arm. “Boss, it’s you, right? You’re back!!!”
I can’t be wrong. Seven years ago, Mr. Griffith showed himself as Kenneth Bailey, and now Elise has done the same!
Before Julius could react, Arthur immediately hugged Elise. “I knew it. You are still alive. You won’t abandon us, and I waited. This is awesome…”
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Since he was afraid of appearing weak, he quickly released her and turned away to pretend to straighten his hair while taking the opportunity to dry his tears.
Yet, he still couldn’t escape Jamie’s sly eyes. “F*ck. Arthur, you are crying! You are so weak, hahaha!”
Apart from Arthur, even Julius was close to tears.
“Shut up!” Arthur knew that he had been tricked, but he only dared to attack Jamie and tried his best to regain the rest of his dignity, “What do you know? My eyes were blinded by sand!”
“Oh, really. There’s sand in a VIP ward? The hospital must be slipping.” Jamie pursed his lips in mock disgust. “No matter what, you don’t have what it takes to be a man. I didn’t shed even a single tear when I recognized our Boss.”
“Come on, if you want to play tricks, forget about tears. I’ll punch your lights out!”
The two went back and forth with their banter for a while as it livened the atmosphere, but it was still causing a commotion.
“Cut it out,” Elise interrupted. “Let’s get down to business. I didn’t come back to reconcile with you all. I have things to discuss.”
“Just say the word, Boss. We’ll try our best to fulfill it!” An enthusiastic Julius was eager to prove his worth.
“We can finally fight together again!” Arthur said with feeling.
Elise was rather touched, but she was aware that it was not the time to celebrate. So, she had to remain calm instead.
