371 Favoritism and Confrontation

Alexander lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms. Seeing the sparkle return to Elena’s eyes and confirming she’d fully rested, he finally answered calmly,

“Yeah.”

Then he hung up the phone.

Before turning on the lights, he covered Elena’s eyes with one hand.

The sudden brightness still made her squint slightly.

Elena quickly got out of bed and hurried into the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.

Watching her rush around anxiously, Alexander couldn’t help laughing softly.

“There’s no need to panic.”

“Your grandfather sounded really serious,” Elena replied while fastening her dress. “We should get there as soon as possible.”

Her instincts were screaming at her-

Walter already knew everything that had happened at the hotel tonight.

Alexander merely raised an eyebrow, remaining as composed as ever.

“You’re the victim.”

“They can wait.”

Elena: “…”

Technically…

He wasn’t wrong.

Still, with so many elders gathered there, Elena felt uncomfortable making everyone wait for them.

In the end, Alexander gave in to her insistence, got up to wash up, and drove her back to Kingsley Manor.

The moment they stepped inside-

Walter’s furious voice thundered through the house.

“I don’t care how the two of you fight amongst yourselves!”

“But don’t drag Elena into it!”

“I’m still alive right now!”

“And when I’m dead, what then? Are you planning to grind her bones to dust too?!”

His cane slammed heavily against the marble floor.

The sharp sound echoed throughout the living room.

Elena looked over and saw Walter sitting in the main seat with a terrifyingly dark expression.

Across from him sat Simon and Carol.

Sophia was there too, still dressed in her engagement gown.

Her lips moved slightly.

“Grandpa, this has to be-”

Before she could finish, Walter interrupted her in a much gentler tone.

“This matter has nothing to do with you, Sophia.”

“Stay out of it.”

Sophia immediately fell silent.

Meanwhile, Simon and Carol sat there expressionlessly, as if scenes like this had happened countless times before.

‘Young Master.”

‘Young Madam.”

The house staff greeted them respectfully.

Alexander walked in holding Elena’s hand.

Hearing their voices, Walter took a deep breath before forcinga strained smile.

‘You’re back.”

Instantly-

Everyone’s eyes landed on them.

Alexander led Elena over to sit beside Evelyn.

“Grandpa.”

“Mom.”

“Uncle.”

“Aunt.”

Even in a situation like this, Elena still maintained proper manners.

Walter’s anger instantly fared again.

He pointed his cane toward Carol and Simon.

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?”

“Elena still respectfully calls you Uncle and Aunt

“And you repay her by using such disgusting methods to ruin her reputation?”

Carol slowly curled her lips into a strange smile.

‘Dad.”

‘Aren’t you being a little too biased?”

‘You’re accusing us of framing Elena just because of a few words from my sister–in–law?”

Finished

‘When you handed the company over to Alexander, I said nothing. Back then, my older brother–in–law was indeed helping you run the business.”

‘But now you’re scolding us in front of all the younger generation over one–sided accusations.”

‘Isn’t that inappropriate?”

‘Alexander is your grandson. Elena is your granddaughter–in–law. Of course you favor them.”

‘But Sophia is your granddaughter too.”

Today was her engagement banquet.”

‘You didn’t even attend.”

‘Instead, you’re arguing with us because of her engagement.”

‘Isn’t that unfair favoritism?”

Carol unleashed complaint after complaint without stopping.

Sophia bit her lip tightly, looking at Walter in confusion.

Elena was equally surprised.

୮

She had assumed Walter skipped the engagement banquet because he wasn’t feeling well.

But from the sound of things-

That clearly wasn’t the real reason.

Walter’s expression remained calm and emotionless.

Only when his eyes briefly met Sophia’s did a trace of guilt and pity flash through them.

“You both know exactly why

“I opposed this marriage from the very beginning.”

“But I fully approve of Alexander and Elena.”

“Why?”

Carol immediately snapped.

Finished

“Elena spent years with another man before marrying into this family. Don’t tell me Edmund can’t even compare to-”

Before she could finish-

She felt Alexander’s icy gaze sweep over her.

Her heart skipped violently, forcing her to abruptly change topics.
