Chapter 173 For His Own Daughter
"Such a lack of manners!" Declan was the first to speak. His words shocked everyone present, even Marcus, who was sitting at the head of the table, was displeased.
However, Marcus had a sixty-year relationship with Declan, with a deep bond. Moreover, Declan saved Marcus's life when Declan was in politics in his early years. So, hearing Declan say this, even if Marcus wanted to protect Alice, he had to follow Declan's words.
Besides, all the trouble today was caused by Alice.
Even though Marcus was secretly pleased with Alice's mischievousness, he had to keep a stern face, saying, "Alice, you really lack manners! Your mother didn't teach you any good habits. From now on, you can't follow her!"
Alice remained silent.
When Marcus put on a stern face, he looked quite intimidating.
Alice was so scared that she shrank further into Alexander's arms.
The guests present naturally knew who Marcus was referring to as Alice's mother. Even though he didn't mention Elizabeth's name, they all knew it was Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's reputation in Sunwillow City had been notorious for the past six years.
It seemed that even though Elizabeth had given birth to Alice who was recognized and cared for by the Windsor family, Elizabeth had not become more respectable because of it.
This suggested that the possibility of Alexander still marrying Clara was very high. After all, six years ago, he and Clara had already entered the hall of marriage. If it weren't for Elizabeth's interference, their child would probably be about the same age as Alice by now.
No wonder Clara dared to fight with Sarah, a distant relative of the Windsor family's matriarch Sierra, in the hall of the Windsor Manor.
It turned out Clara was still Alexander's legitimate fiancée.
At this moment, someone flattered Clara in a low voice, "Miss Guise, do you want a servant to get you an ice pack?"
"Miss Guise, don't be sad. Your grandfather hit you for some reason."
"Mr. Jones, don't be too angry. Think about it, any woman would lose her composure if her husband was about to be taken away by another woman. In this world, no one can tolerate a third party in a relationship."
The flattering words made it seem as if Clara was indeed Alexander's wife.
Declan also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Clara with pity and then saying to Alexander, "Clara has her faults, but it's because she loves you..."
Before Declan could finish his sentence, he heard Alexander's cold and indifferent voice, "Gavin!"
"I'm here, Mr. Windsor," Gavin responded.
"You didn't personally throw Sarah out earlier, and now you have work to do," Alexander said nonchalantly.
Gavin was silent. Was he going to be asked to throw Clara out?
It was possible.
Gavin was a bit afraid of Declan.
But even if he was afraid of Declan, he only took orders from Alexander. If Alexander asked him to throw Clara into the sea to feed the fish, Gavin would do it without hesitation. He was about to grab Clara's arm to throw her out when he heard Alexander say, "Does your phone have a high-resolution camera?"
Gavin asked, "What did you say?"
"Take some photos of Clara's swollen face. Make sure the resolution is high and take them from all angles." Alexander said lightly.
His words left everyone present in a state of shock.
Gavin was also stunned.
Alexander wanted him to take photos of Clara's swollen face?
This was too surprising!
Was Alexander trying to please Alice?
Gavin's intuition told him that Alexander wasn't doing this to please his daughter Alice but to please Alice's mother, Elizabeth.
To please Elizabeth who owed him over ten million dollars.
Thinking that Alexander was taking Clara's ugly photos to please Elizabeth, Gavin felt a surge of joy, taking out his phone from his pocket and being about to take the photos when Clara coquettishly said to Alexander, "Mr. Windsor."
Clara's voice matched her appearance, both capable of evoking feelings of horror and revulsion.
Alexander didn't even look at Clara, only at Declan, saying coldly, "She, as a socialite, fought with someone in my living room, injuring the other person and herself, which has tarnished the century-old reputation of the Jones family. Declan, you should educate your granddaughter at home before bringing her out to avoid embarrassment! Since you can't discipline her, I'll discipline her for you! Gavin, take the photos! Take them from all angles!"
Gavin responded loudly, "Yes, Mr. Windsor!"
Clearly, it was Alice who found it amusing, but Alexander made it seem as if Clara was a movie star.
Gavin took out his camera, quickly pressing the shutter around Clara's face.
At this moment, Clara felt like she wanted to die.
With the face turning red with anger, Declan asked, "Alexander, what do you mean by this!"
Alexander looked calmly at Declan, saying, "Declan, I respect you, so I'm polite to you, but don't forget that I'm Alexander. I don't have to report to you about what I do!"
Declan was silent.
After a while, he asked, "You don't want Clara anymore, do you? You want the mother of this wild child, Elizabeth, right? You want to give this child a complete family?"
Seeing that Declan had hit the mark, Alexander looked at him for a moment.
Declan continued, "Alexander! This child is not in the same situation as you were back then. I helped you back then because your mother was upright, ambitious, and self-reliant. She was a woman to be admired, so the child she raised was also excellent. And you proved to be outstanding. But Elizabeth is different."
"Elizabeth has always been notorious! Six years ago, she ruined the entire upper circle. Yes, she helped you under the guise of taking care of your mother, not ask for your payment after your mother passed away. But don't forget, she took a priceless jade bracelet from your mother!"
Alexander remained silent.
