Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Elena’s Counterattack

Elena slowly lifted her eyes and glanced at Carol Powell.

“You certainly hear things quickly, Auntie

Carol gave an awkward laugh. I realized it had been a while since I visited Grandpa Walter, so I stopped by. We just happened to start talking about this

“Elena, what exactly are you thinking?”

Evelyn Kingsley’s tone carried obvious dissatisfaction.

Carol immediately added fuel to the fire.

“Sister–in–law, Richard Hart is Elena’s father after all. It’s understandable that she doesn’t want to watch Hart Group collapse. As long as this has nothing to do with Nathan Hawthorne, that’s already good enough…”

“Mom-”

Sophia Kingsley frowned deeply and was about to speak.

Carol quickly grabbed her hand.

“You silly girl, why are you getting so worked up? I was only speaking casually.”

Evelyn pressed her lips together.

Her expression darkened slightly.

She could naturally hear the provocation hidden in Carol’s words, but Elena suddenly involving herself with the Hart family–and openly targeting Camille Hart–made her even more unhappy.

“Elena, you’re Alexander’s wife now. I don’t care what happened between you and Nathan in the past, but you can’t take advantage of Alexander being away and-”

Before Evelyn could finish, Carol suddenly interrupted.

“Speaking of which, I’ve been here for quite a while, but I still haven’t seen Alexander. Where is he?”

There was obvious probing in her eyes.

Evelyn immediately realized she had nearly said too much.

A trace of awkwardness crossed her face as she hurriedly tried to think of an explanation.

“Alexander went to Eldoria on a business trip. There’s an important project recently, so he’s been very busy”

Elena answered calmly before Evelyn could speak.

sce. Carol smiled faintly. “I heard Dr. Darren came by the house recently. Is Alexander feeling unwell? I know an excellent specialist overseas. Should I introduce him to you?”

“He caught a cold recently and was worried about passing it to me or the baby. He’s already fine now.”

A faint smile still rested on Elena’s lips.

“Thank you for your concern, Auntie. As for my matters with the Hart family, whether it’s because of my relationship with them or for other reasons, I know what I’m doing”

Her voice was gentle and soft.

But the coldness hidden in her eyes made Carol frown almost imperceptibly.

“Oh, right.”

Elena suddenly changed the topic effortlessly.

“I heard Uncle Simon’s company recently started collaborating with Hawthorne Group? Since when did Uncle and Aunt become so close to the Hawthornes?”

The conversation immediately shifted onto Simon Kingsley and Carol.

Carol froze briefly before forcing a smile.

“It’s nothing serious. The economy hasn’t been doing well lately, and the opportunity for cooperation happened to appear, so we took it.”

“I see.”

Elena nodded thoughtfully.

“For a moment, I thought Auntie disliked me as your niece–in–law and intentionally worked with the Hawthornes to pressure me. Looks like I was overthinking.”

“How could that be?”

Carol laughed dryly again.

Evelyn remained silent, her thoughts unreadable.

Walter Kingsley clearly had no interest in their indirect verbal sparring and instead spoke warmly to Elena.

“I’ve already looked into the situation at Hart Group. Things there are complicated. Elena, you’re pregnant right now. Isn’t handling all of this putting too much pressure on you?”

Compared to Evelyn’s attitude, Walter was far gentler.

At the end of the day, they were simply worried her health would not be able to handle it.

“I’m fine, Grandpa. I know my limits.”

Elena answered calmly.

Evelyn still looked dissatisfied and seemed ready to continue, but Walter raised his hand and stopped her.

“That’s enough. As long as you know what you’re doing, it’s fine. We elders shouldn’t interfere too much in your younger generation’s affairs. Just remember to call Alexander later.

“I understand, Grandpa.”

That evening. Simon’s family stayed for dinner.

Several times during the meal, Sophia tried to speak with Elena, but each attempt was shut down by Carol’s warning gaze.

Elena noticed everything but remained silent.

After dinner, Carol finally spoke again in a leisurely tone.

“Since Elena has taken over matters at Hart Group, she probably won’t have much time to manage Velmora Media for now. Sophia has learned quite a lot working under Elena recently.”

She looked toward Walter.

“How about letting Sophia temporarily manage Velmora Media? What do you think, Grandpa?”

Although Pinnacle Group was technically under Alexander’s control, within the Kingsley family, Walter’s authority was absolute.

As long as he spoke, both Alexander and Elena would listen.

Walter slowly put down his utensils.
