Sham Marriage Quit, Real Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 238 Crossed Wires

“I was just trying to stand up for you. Didn’t think Nathan would actually fight back like that.”

Elena wasn’t really upset with him.

When it came down to it, Gideon had stepped in because he couldn’t stand seeing her being treated unfairly.

“Seriously, you’re not some reckless college kid anymore. Don’t pull something like that again. If Julian hears about this…”

Gideon raised an eyebrow, a teasing glint in his eyes. “So what, you’re gonna keep this between us?”

Elena gave him a flat look. “With the way you’re acting right now? How exactly am I supposed to keep your story straight?”

A faint smirk tugged at Gideon’s lips. “Then just tell him I got jumped on the street. Easy.”

Elena exhaled sharply, clearly unimpressed.

Before she could say anything else, Gideon suddenly lifted his hand, as if to brush a strand of hair away from her face.

Elena instinctively stepped back.

And in that exact moment, her gaze collided with someone at the entrance.

Everything seemed to pause,

She hadn’t expected to run into Alexander here.

And standing beside him… was Fiona.

They walked in together, close enough to suggest familiarity. Fiona was mid–sentence, her brows slightly drawn as she spoke, while Alexander’s attention stayed fixed on her, his expression focused.

Elena felt her chest tighten.

Of all places… and he’s here with her?

Gideon followed her line of sight, and the moment he saw Alexander and Fiona together, his expression darkened.

Fiona noticed it too.

She glanced in the direction Alexander had been looking and spotted Elena.

A subtle, almost imperceptible lift of her brow

followed.

“Elena’s here, Fiona said, turning slightly toward Alexander.

He gave no reaction.

As if he hadn’t seen Elena at all, he simply turned and walked toward the stairwell leading to the inpatient wing.

Fiona gave Elena a polite nod before following after him.

Elena stood there, momentarily stunned.

Gideon let out a low scoff, clearly irritated. “What’s that supposed to mean? It’s this late, and he’s still with her?”

Elena let out a quiet, humorless laugh. “Gideon, we’re literally standing here together right now.”

“…That’s not the same.”

His reply came out stiff, even he didn’t sound convinced.

Elena didn’t argue.

Soon, Gideon’s name was called. The doctor examined his injuries, cleaned the wounds, applied bandages, and prescribed some basic medication before sending them on their way.

As they walked out of the hospital, Elena couldn’t help but glance toward the stairwell.

That was the way to the inpatient floor.

Are they still up there… or have they already left?

Her thoughts felt tangled, difficult to sort through.

They stepped outside. Just as Elena reached her car, a figure appeared in front of them.

Alexander.

“Let’s go home,” he said..

His tone was calm, but there was a cold edge to

1. it.

There was no explanation, not a single word about why he had been there with Fiona, and Gideon hadn’t even been the one driving.

Elena shook her head. “I’ll take him home first.”

“He can call

a

ride.”

Alexander’s voice remained cool, distant.

“He’s hurt.”

The injury wasn’t serious.

But at this moment, Elena had no intention of being alone with Alexander.

The air between them grew tense.

She could feel the chill in his presence, but she refused to give in..

He shows up with Fiona, and I’m supposed to just go along like nothing happened?

Alexander took a slow breath. “Elena.”

Gideon let out a quiet, amused chuckle. “Alexander, didn’t you just come in with your secretary? Leaving her alone doesn’t exactly look great, does it?”

Alexander’s expression darkened further.

“This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with you.”

“He’s injured,” Elena said evenly.

“His car isn’t here, and it’s not easy to get a ride around here this late.”

Her stance was clear. She was choosing Gideon.

Without sparing Alexander another glance, Elena walked to her car, opened the door, and got in.

Gideon shot Alexander a look, faintly provocative, before getting into the passenger seat.
