Sham Marriage Quit Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 370

The Man Inside the Bathroom

Alexander dragged the unconscious man–across the floor and threw kim down in front of Daniel.

Then, with obvious disgust, he dusted off his hands and coldly kicked the man once in the back.

The body rolled directly to Daniel’s feet.

Daniel jumped in shock and instinctively stepped backward several paces.

When he looked carefully again—

His face instantly changed.

The man whose face had been beaten beyond recognition-

Was Evan.

There was no need to guess.

Every injury on Evan’s face had clearly come from Alexander.

Daniel’s expression darkened immediately.

‘Mr. Kingsley.”

‘Isn’t this going too far?”

‘Your family may be powerful, but the Hawthornes aren’t weak either.”

‘You beat my son into this state…”

Looking at Evan’s unconscious body-

Daniel estimated he would probably need at least half a month in the hospital to recover.

Alexander looked down at Evan coldly.

‘You claim the Hawthornes aren’t weak.”

‘And yet you didn’t even realize your own son was being set up.”

He let out a cold laugh.

‘If I hadn’t arrived in tine…”

“And Evan had been discovered inside this room…”

“What kind of outcome do you think that would’ve created?”

The moment those words fell-

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Daniel was not stupid.

Finsned

The commotion earlier had been massive.

If Carol and Fiona had truly opened this door and discovered Elena and Evan together in the same room

The feud between the Hawthornes and Kingsleys would’ve become irreversible.

Elena would’ve been completely ruined.

Thrown out of the Kingsley family.

And Charles already carried guilt toward Elena because of Nathan.

Nathan had been expelled from the Hawthorne family for betraying her.

If Eyan had also become involved with Elena-

Daniel didn’t even dare continue imagining the consequences.

But this entire scheme-

Clearly couldn’t have been carried out by Carol and Fiona alone.

Evan had no relationship with either of them.

Which meant-

The only remaining possibility was Nathan.

After realizing that-

Alexander beating Evan suddenly no longer mattered.

Instead-

Daniel actually felt grateful toward him.

“I apologize.”

Daniel’s tone turned solemn

“Thank you for warning me, Mr. Kingsley.”

He bent down, hauled Evan up from the floor, and carried him away.

Evelyn had also understood the seriousness of the situation.

The expression that had just softened moments earlier turned terrifyingly dark again.

That woman Carol has gone completely insane.”

“If you hadn’t arrived in time…”

“No.”

“This absolutely cannot end like this!”

If everyone had truly seen Elena and Evan together inside this room-

Both looking disheveled-

Who knew what horrifying rumors would’ve spread?

And Elena was currently carrying the Kingsley family’s child..

The more Evelyn thought about it-

The angrier she became.

She stormed out furiously.

Soon-

Only Alexander and Elena remained inside the room.

Elena’s condition had improved slightly by now.

She reached out and grabbed Alexander’s hand.

‘When did you come back?”

‘Why didn’t you tell me anything?”

She had completely lost contact with him earlier.

At one point-

She had genuinely feared Alexander’s condition had worsened.

She had even planned to fly to Europe herself after Sophia’s engagement party ended.

Thankfully-

He had returned.

And returned at exactly the right moment.

Elena pressed her cheek gently against the back of his cool hand.

“Thank goodness you came back…”

Alexander raised his other hand and softly caressed her face.

“I originally planned to come straight to you.”

“But something happened at the company, so I had to attend a meeting first.”

“Sorry for making you worry.”

“It’s okay.”

“As long as you’re safe.”

Elena smiled brightly at him.

Alexander was always like this.

Every single time she was pushed into danger-

He would appear.

And, pull her back out of the abyss.

If he hadn’t arrived today—

Elena genuinely didn’t dare imagine what would’ve happened next.

Thinking about Evelyn’s earlier reaction-

She suddenly felt worried again.

“Shouldn’t we go check on Mom?”

“She’s fine.”

“Don’t underestimate her.”

Alexander looked completely unconcerned.

He simply lay down beside Elena and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Then he rested his head against her chest.

One hand gently settled over her lower abdomen.

“Has he been behaving?”

“Yes.”

“Yery well behaved.”

Elena smiled softly.

Then she started rambling about the baby.

Just ordinary little things.

Yet she talked for a very long time.

Only after her throat became dry did she realize-

Alexander hadn’t responded once.

She lowered her eyes and discovered-

He had already fallen asleep leaning against her chest.

His thick eyelashes rested quietly against his skin.

His breathing sounded heavier than usual.

He looked utterly exhausted.

Elena carefully tried adjusting her position slightly so he could sleep more comfortably.

But the moment she moved-

Alexander tightened his arm around her waist instinctively,

She immediately stopped moving.

And simply allowed him to hold her like that.

Alexander slept deeply.

And eventually-

Elena unknowingly fell asleep too.

In the end-

The sound of a ringing phone woke her.

Still half asleep, Elena instinctively reached for her phone.

“I’ll answer it.”

Alexander’s low, reassuring voice sounded through the darkness.

Elena hummed softly and let him pick up.

“Grandpa.”

Alexander spoke into the phone.

Elena instantly woke up completely.

Walter’s serious voice rang out.

“Alexander.”

“You and Elena come back to Kingsley Manor immediately.”

It was the very first time Elena had ever heard Walter speak in such a severe tone.

And it instantly made her even more awake.
