Chapter 174 Where is that bracelet?
If Declan hadn't mentioned that emerald bracelet, Alexander would have forgotten that when Esme was alive, she had given Elizabeth a bracelet that was Esme's family heirloom and was invaluable.
Declan spoke again, "Alexander, Elizabeth is cunning, liking to work in the shadows. Think about how she harmed Owen, the Bell family's heir Samuel, and Simon so badly. She can never be compared to your mother. A woman like Elizabeth, can she raise good children?"
Alexander slowly smiled, "My daughter is with me now, what does that have to do with her mother? Declan, you're really stretching it! When it comes to raising children, I don't need someone to teach me. Declan, you should take care of your granddaughter Clara, not letting her embarrass yourself at the Windsor Manor!"
After saying that, Alexander stood up, holding Alice, and being about to leave.
"Alexander," Marcus called out, "where are you going? Didn't you say you would have dinner at the old house today? Your grandmother has prepared many gifts for Alice, Alexander."
Marcus's tone was extremely reluctant.
He was reluctant to let Alexander go, and even more reluctant to let Alice go. Despite Alice being a little girl, her quirky personality was incredibly endearing. At just five years old, she could deceive Sarah into losing her mind and humiliate Clara to the point of tears.
Alice was no ordinary child.
The children of the Windsor family should be like this.
Even though today the Windsor family had the scandal of Sarah and Clara pulling each other's hair and fighting because of Alice, Marcus, Amara, and Felix liked Alice more and more.
She was so much like Alexander.
They looked alike, with their personalities being even more alike.
So, Marcus put aside his pride, softly asking Alexander.
Alexander didn't even turn his head, just holding Alice as he walked out. As he walked, he said, "Your house is too chaotic. You think this is a high-society gathering, even ceremoniously inviting them to sit in the living room in two rows, so grand. But those two women are worse than shrews! I don't want my daughter to see such a dirty side."
Marcus asked, "But, isn't it all over now?"
Alexander had already walked out of the hall, not hearing what Marcus said.
He just held Alice, having Gavin drive them away from there.
Originally, Alexander also wanted to bring Alice to recognize her roots, so that in the future, Alice could inherit the Windsor Group more smoothly and naturally. However, he didn't expect that Marcus and Felix would invite so many guests just to introduce Alice.
Even without Alice causing trouble, Alexander would have left.
But Alice causing trouble allowed him to see a good show.
At this moment, Gavin, who was driving in front, said to Alice in a teasing tone, "Miss Windsor, your combat skills are amazing!"
"Gavin, what are you talking about?" Alice asked, not understanding what Gavin was saying.
Gavin laughed, "Miss Windsor, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea of killing two birds with one stone? At a family gathering, you managed to deal with two women who were competing with your mom for a husband. You're incredible! Miss Windsor, I'm your fan now."
Alice asked, "Gavin, what does that mean?"
Gavin replied, "It means..." Just as he was about to proudly explain to Alice in detail, he saw Alexander's cold expression in the rearview mirror, immediately shutting up.
Gavin was sensitive to others' feelings, but Alice didn't have Gavin's observational skills. Seeing Gavin not answering her, Alice looked up at Alexander and rolled her eyes, saying, "I asked you, what does 'killing two birds with one stone' mean?"
At this moment, Alice was no longer snuggling in Alexander's arms like she was at the Windsor Manor. She didn't even want to call him dad, filled with anger. Why were there so many women around that fierce Alexander?
It was annoying to look at!
Alexander looked down at the mischievous Alice.
He didn't answer Alice's question but instead asked, "Why did you frame Sarah?"
"Because she wants to marry you!" Alice said without hesitation.
"Then why did you put the horns on Clara?" Alexander asked knowingly.
"Because she also wants to marry you!" Alice huffed.
"So you tricked Sarah and then framed her, making them fight while you watched the show?" Alexander asked with interest.
"Both of them want to marry you! You can only be my mom's, no one else can compete with my mom!" At this moment, Alice's tone was extremely domineering.
Alexander felt it amusing, coldly asking, "Do you really want your mom to marry me?"
Alice was silent.
Did she want that?
Had she ever thought about it?
Never!
"Who said that! My mom doesn't want to marry you!" Alice said, contradicting herself.
Alexander was silent, realizing that reasoning with a five-year-old girl was pointless because it was all Alice's own logic.
He simply stopped asking.
However, through today's events at the Windsor Manor, he had already experienced Alice's combat skills, which were truly extraordinary.
Alice didn't know if Elizabeth would marry Alexander, but in Alice's heart, no one could compete with Elizabeth for Alexander who could only belong to Elizabeth.
If anyone tried to take Alexander, that woman would be in trouble.
Today's events were a victory!
Alice was indeed his child, with a personality just as brave, clever, and combative as his.
Thinking of this, Alexander felt a warmth in his heart, patting Alice's head, then taking out his phone and dialing a number.
On the other end, Elizabeth had just finished a job interview, which went very smoothly. In three days, Elizabeth could start working, with the generous salary. While Elizabeth was grateful to the company for the job opportunity, she also knew that it was all thanks to the resume Alexander had created for her.
As soon as she left the interview company, she received a call from Alexander, immediately answering, "Hello. What's up?"
On the other end, Alexander asked calmly, "Where's that bracelet?"
