Hearing this question, Elaine was obviously a little angry: "Why would I make that choice, they are both the most important to me, and I won't ......"
Ariel said, "This is the reality, do you still think you are not holding unrealistic fantasies?"
Elaine opened her mouth to retort, but she couldn't get the words out.
After leaving the hospital, the sun outside was bright and a little shiny.
Elaine raised her hand to shade it, blocking out circle after circle of light.
But even so, the eyes kept flooding with tears because of the intense sunlight.
Reality seems to be just like the sun, you can't see it straight.
At this time, Elaine was tapped on the shoulder, she thought it was Archer, turned her head, but found standing in front of her, was a not very familiar face.
Brendon spoke up, "Miss James, we meet again."
Elaine slowly lowered her hand, "It's you ......"
Brendon smiled and nodded, "Does Miss James have a minute, I'd like to talk to you."
Elaine shook her head, "I don't want to talk to you."
At that, Brendon paused, probably not expecting such a response from her.
After a few seconds, he said, "I want to apologize to Miss James on behalf of my mother, I hope you won't take her words to heart."
Elaine said, "It would be hypocritical of me to say that I didn't take it to heart. I do get angry and I won't forgive her, but we won't cross paths again after that, and I won't let myself get upset because of that."
Every answer she gave was unexpected by Brendon.
He kept the smile on his face, "Miss James is right, that's what my mother is like, a knife's mouth and a heart of gold."
Elaine didn't want to have these unnecessary conversations with him, and after a token nod of greeting, she intended to leave.
Seeing this, Brendon immediately followed: "Is Miss James going home, I'll give you a ride."
Elaine said, "I'll just go back on my own, thanks."
She had just taken a step when Brendon stopped in front of her again.
Elaine frowned vaguely.
Brendon said, "Miss James, in case you don't know, your father is at my home, discussing our engagement with my parents, and I think it's necessary for us to get acquainted a bit more and improve our relationship, don't you think?"
Elaine didn't even think twice before saying, "No way!"
"Miss James, I know you don't like me, but since the ancient times, marriage has been a matter of bringing more benefits to both families. The fact that your father's status and power, and your position in the James family, even if it's not me, you will still be engaged to someone else, this, you should be clear, right?"
He was referring to the fact that Elaine was once married to Darnell.
Elaine looked at him, lips pursed slightly, and took two steps back.
Brendon continued, "If you were aware of the situation in Riverside City and knew what your father is in right now, you wouldn't think what I'm saying is alarmist."
Elaine said, "You and your mother are the same, outwardly saying things for my good, but in reality you want my father to help you, and if he had no use for me, you wouldn't come to me three or four times."
Brendon laughs: "Miss James, I think you should be glad your father still has use, who would keep someone who is useless?"
Elaine couldn't help but clench her fists and blush a few shades whiter.
She heard and understood that he was threatening her.
Brendon saw this and his face looked more satisfied: "Miss James, let me take you home."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to try to pull her.
