Sham Marriage Quit, Real Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 360 Storms Inside the Zhou Family

Elena spoke openly and directly.

The office fell silent.

*Finished

Simon Kingsley listened quietly to everything she said, yet there was not the slightest trace of displeasure on his face.

Just as Elena expected-

He had already known exactly why she came here.

“What interests me about Nathan Hawthorne,” Simon finally said with a faint smile, “is precisely his ambition.”

The smile on his refined, gaunt face looked strangely cold and cruel.

“As for whether he’ll eventually turn against the Kingsley family…”

Simon leaned back calmly.

“That depends on his capability.”

“I can raise him up.”

“And I can just as easily destroy him.”

Since Simon had already made his stance clear, Elena understood there was nothing left to discuss.

Maybe Simon invested in Nathan because he admired his abilities.

Or maybe it was simply because of the hostility between him and Alexander.

Whatever the reason-

Nathan was merely a useful blade to him.

But…

What exactly happened between Simon and Alexander back then?

Why did Simon care so little about the Kingsley family-

And even seem openly hostile toward them?

After returning to Hart Group, Elena still could not figure it out.

In the end, she called Declan Hayes.

“Mrs. Kingsley.”

Declan answered quickly.

“Is this a good time? Is Alexander nearby?”

She did not want Alexander knowing she was investigating these matters behind his back.

“It’s fine. Go ahead.”

Elena got straight to the point.

“What exactly happened between Simon and Alexander?”

Declan immediately fell silent for several seconds.

“…Mrs. Kingsley can ask Mr. Kingsley directly.”

It was obvious he did not really want to answer.

“Elena’s health makes these matters inconvenient for him to explain right now,” Elena replied calmly. “So is it that you don’t know the truth, or that you simply can’t tell me?”

Declan sighed softly.

He clearly hesitated over whether he should reveal this information to Elena.

But eventually, he compromised.

“Mr. Kingsley’s father’s death… may have been connected to Simon Kingsley.”

“All these years, Mr. Kingsley has been watching Simon closely while secretly investigating what happened back then.”

Just as Elena expected.

“I understand.”

Her tone softened immediately.

“How’s Alexander doing today?”

“Everything is normal.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Originally, Elena still wanted to ask about Fiona Scott.

But after thinking about it, she decided there was no need.

Just as she was about to hang up, Declan suddenly stopped her.

“Mrs. Kingsley… could I trouble you for a favor?”

Elena blinked in surprise.

That was rare.

Declan had never asked her for help before.

Her instincts immediately told her this probably involved Sophia

Sure enough-

“Miss Sophia called me yesterday. She sounded upset. If it’s convenient… could you go check on her?”

Elena instantly smiled knowingly.

“You could call her yourself, Declan.”

Her tone carried faint amusement.

“Concern filtered through a third person loses its meaning.”

Declan’s grip around his phone visibly tightened.

He remained silent for a very long time.

Elena decided not to tease him further.

“Alright. I’ll go see her after work.”

“..Thank you.”

After hanging up, Elena’s mood gradually turned heavy again.

There was no doubt Simon harbored hostility toward the Kingsley family.

But was Alexander’s father’s death truly connected to Simon?

And where exactly did Simon’s hatred toward the Kingsleys come from?

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

For the first time, Elena finally understood why Gideon once told her-

The Kingsley family was far more complicated than it appeared.

Being the wife of a wealthy family was not easy at all.

But she had already chosen to become Alexander Kingsley’s wife.

When Alexander was around, she could safely hide behind him and enjoy his protection without worry.

But when he was absent-

She had to become strong enough to support both him and herself.

That afternoon, Elena personally followed up on several projects and had Lucas arrange future meetings with business partners.

Before getting off work, she called Sophia.

“Are you at the office? I’ll come find you for dinner after work.”

Even without Declan mentioning it, Elena had already planned to visit Sophia herself.

After the scene Carol caused yesterday, Elena worried Sophia would feel upset.

And now it seemed-

Her guess was completely correct.

Sophia’s voice sounded muffled.

“I’m not at the office… I took today off.”

“Elena, I don’t really want dinner. If you don’t want to eat alone, maybe go find Hannah instead.”
