Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 355

Elena smiled faintly though there was already an unmistakable sharpness hidden beneath her tone.

She could tell Carol Powell and Simon Kingsley had come with ill intentions today. Taking advantage of Alexander’s absence, they were clearly tying to pressure both her and Evelyn.

Unfortunately for them-

Elena Sterling was not someone easy to bully.

Alexander might not be here, but anything that belonged to them as husband and wife was not something she would allow others to snatch away with a few carefully chosen words.

Besides…

Sophia Kingsley had never wanted any of this in the first place.

Having known Sophia for so long, Elena understood exactly what kind of person she was.

“Sophia has never handled this kind of work before. There’s no need to force that kind of pressure onto her. She can take things slowly. Auntie, you’re pushing her too hard.”

Elena’s smile remained gentle.

“If Auntie truly thinks I’m refusing to step aside for Sophia, then how about I call Alexander right now and ask for his opinion first?”

Carol’s expression immediately darkened further.

Simon, however, remained perfectly calm.

He took the tea handed over by the housekeeper and drank it leisurely, as though none of this concerned him.

In the end, Carol was the first to lose her composure.

“Fine, then do whatever you want. Since you’ve already said this much, what else can go.”

Say? Sophia, let’s

She did not even bother finishing dinner before dragging Sophia away.

Simon stood up as well.

Before leaving, he glanced once toward Elena.

The dining room soon fell silent again.

Evelyn leaned back in her chair with a long sigh while Walter accepted a napkin from the servants and slowly wiped his hands.

Elena stood and lowered her head slightly.

“Grandpa, Mont. I’m sorry about what happened just now.”

Walter smiled warmly

“There’s nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong Alexander is away or business right now. As his wife, protecting the interests of your family is exactly what you should do.”

He looked at her with clear approval.

“With someone like you by Alexander’s side, I feel very reassured.”

Even Evelyn’s expression softened considerably.

What she had truly feared was that after taking over Hart Group, Elena would gradually neglect Alexander and the Kingsley family because of the Harts.

But Elena’s attitude tonight had completely erased those concerns.

“Sit down.” Evelyn finally said. “You did nothing wrong. Alexander and Simon have never gotten along anyway. That’s nothing unusual.”

Only then did Elena sit back down.

It seemed the outside rumors had been true after all.

Aside from Sophia, Alexander’s relationship with Simon’s entire family was extremely poor.

steadily down the highway.

Sophia was still angrily complaining in the back seat.

“So when you agreed to let me learn at Velmora Media before, this was your real plan all along?”

She sounded completely unable to understand it.

“You clearly know I’ve never been interested in any of this. I just wanted an ordinary job…”

Her eyes reddened with frustration.

“So why did you have to say those things tonight? Alexander and Elena have always treated me well. Why did you have to make things so awkward?”

The thought that Elena might misunderstand her made Sophia feel miserable.

She genuinely liked Elena as her sister–in–law.

And she genuinely liked Alexander as her brother.

“What do you know?”

Carol’s face remained cold.

You think they treat us like family, but they’ve never ofice considered us real family. Only someone as naive as you would believe otherwise.”

“Elena does treat me like her sister!”

Sophia’s eyes filled with tears.

“If she treated you like a sister, then why didn’t she simply hand the position over to you?”

“She has more experience than me! And she knows I never wanted it in the first place!”

“She doesn’t trust you. She’s afraid you’ll take her place!” Carol snapped harshly. “Neither she nor Alexander are good people.”

After being humiliated by Elena all evening, Carol’s anger had finally exploded.

“Why are you talking about Alexander like that?”

Sophia’s eyes turned even redder.

“How did you become like this? Every time someone bullied me before, Alexander was the one who protected me. He cared about me more than you ever did-”

Before she could finish speaking, Carol suddenly lost her patience and slapped her hard across the face.

The slap completely stunned Sophia.

Her cheek burned painfully.

She covered her face while Carol stared at her coldly.

“Stop the car!”

Sophia’s temper instantly exploded.

She slammed her hand against the back of the driver’s seat.

The driver did not dare offend the young miss and immediately pulled the car over. [

Sophia angrily pushed the door open and got out alone.

“Sir… Madam… this…”

The driver looked conflicted, unsure whether he should go after her.
