Originally, neither Robin nor Laura noticed that he was back, but when they heard his voice, they immediately raised their heads. “When I suggested this engagement with your grandfather, I thought that the relationship between our two families would last forever, and that my girl would have a good home. Tell me—what did you promise me when you first got engaged?” Seeing Alexander’s remorseful look, Robin grew even more furious and tapped the ground with his cane angrily. Elise had an accident here, and it was related to Alexander’s mother.
No matter what, Alexander was to blame as he was the one who didn’t take good care of his baby grandchild! “I remember all of them. It was me—I didn’t take good care of her. I didn’t have the ability…” When Alexander heard what Robin asked, he thought back, and his mind instantly took him back to how he and Elise looked when they met at the door of the restaurant. However, Robin didn’t buy any of it. He continued to say angrily, “Enough with the nonsense—are your mother and Elise being framed? Or was it all your mother’s acting?”
At that point, all Robin could only think about was Elise—his dear Elise, who always told good news and not bad news. If Robin hadn’t received this anonymous call this time, he really wouldn’t have known that such a big thing had happened to Elise. He also did some digging and found out that Alexander’s mother did not approve of his relationship with Elise. “Mr. Robin, this matter has nothing to do with my mother. They were framed, and I’ve arranged for my subordinates to continue investigating until evidence is found. Don’t worry. I won’t let Elise be wronged for nothing!”
Alexander said to Robin, guaranteeing her return and also showing his determination at the same time. Robin didn’t listen to a word he said, but instead, he roared directly, “I’m not interested in what you said. Think of a way for me to meet Elise!” All of a sudden, Laura, who had not spoken before, shouted angrily as well, “Besides, you don’t have to promise us anything anymore. Yes, you are the heir of the Griffith Family, and your family indeed is great, but we, the Sinclairs, are not so bad ourselves after all. That is it—I will bring Elise with me. Forget the engagement or anything; we’ve never accepted a cent from you anyway. So when the time comes, just hold a media conference and clarify it then!”
When he heard this, Alexander felt as if his heart was being stabbed by knives over and over again. But what could he say? Elise was their beloved grandchild. As a matter of fact, he knew very well that if he didn’t investigate this matter thoroughly and clear Elise’s name, he would never have the confidence to stand in front of the two of them ever again. With that in mind, Alexander immediately instructed Cameron to increase the manpower and material resources for the investigation. Soon, the police had received the surveillance. With two parties investigating at the same time, they were able to quickly clear up the matter. Everything pointed to Matthew.
