Matthew was a despicable and shameless man, and they understood Elise better than anyone else did. Elise must’ve been coerced into marrying Matthew; there was no other way. However, if they didn’t agree to his demands, Elise’s life would certainly be threatened. Thus, their only option right now was to calm Matthew down and have him free Elise first. At the same time, though… The Griffith Family’s problems can only be solved by the Griffiths themselves. Having come up with a plan, Robin replied coldly with a grave expression, “We’ll give the orders, but how are you gonna get married without the bride, Matthew?
Now that Elise is already yours, we can’t possibly sit by and watch you destroy her reputation!” Matthew was simply as bold as brass. “The wedding’s scheduled for three days later. Just give the orders and make the arrangements.” Robin didn’t accept his demands, though. “How can we talk about the wedding date if we can’t see Elise? The people are gonna make a laughingstock out of us Sinclairs!” However, Matthew asked in reply, “Won’t I be making a fool of myself if I don’t get to see Elise at our wedding?” He knew very well that Robin and Laura hated his guts right now. How could they possibly plan for his wedding with Elise with all their hearts? They would have Elise break up with him by hook or by crook.
I’m not that stupid. And besides, Elise is my only lifeline, so I’ll never let go of her! Seeing how determined Matthew was, Laura softened a little. “Well, since you’re marrying Elise, we’ve got to see her in person and ask for her opinion, right?” Matthew smirked. “Does her opinion still matter right now?” His smirk looked especially conceited in Laura and Robin’s eyes, but they could do nothing to hold Matthew down since Elise was now in his hands. Just then, Matthew parted his lips, saying, “Don’t worry. As long as you announce the date of our wedding, I’ll naturally have Elise freed and brought back.”
The date of the wedding will be known all over the world once it’s fixed. When I make an issue of the pictures then, Elise will definitely give in and marry me! he thought. With that, he turned around and left without waiting for Robin and Laura’s response. Robin struck the ground heavily with his stick while burning with anger. “Damn that *sshole! What makes him think he deserves our Elise? That’s simply wishful thinking!” I’ve seen a lot of shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as him before! he thought. He was worried about Elise’s safety, but he couldn’t really do as Matthew had said either.
After all, they couldn’t hold the wedding as scheduled after the date of the wedding was announced, especially when Elise was still Alexander’s fiancée at present. A lot of people will gossip about it if someone’s fiancée is suddenly going to marry his younger brother instead! thought Robin. Therefore, he called Alexander right away. Alexander had just received a text message from Matthew, but he had yet to read the text message at this moment. Robin scolded him, “Alexander, you’d better do something about the members of your family!
Robin reprimanded angrily, “Who else do you think I’m referring to? He nearly had Elise sent to jail last time, and now, he’s gotten his hands on her by despicable means and even wants her to marry him! He’s simply living in a dream world!” Upon hearing Robin’s words, Alexander instantly realized who the old man was referring to. Robin was referring to Matthew. He’s gotten his hands on Elise by despicable means… Alexander’s heart clenched at the words as he recalled the text message Matthew had just sent him. After all, Matthew was now full of hostility and vengeance against him.
