Chapter 292 Scolding Her
That night, while Elizabeth slept soundly in Alexander's arms, far away in Pariz, Clara cried all night long.
By the end, Clara's voice was hoarse, her eyes were swollen, and she had severe dark circles. When the doctor came to check on Declan's condition early in the morning, they thought they had seen a ghost when they saw Clara.
One of the female intern doctors was almost scared to tears by Clara.
Clara's eyes looked somewhat vacant.
After the doctor finished checking on Declan and informed him that his condition was no longer a major issue, they left the room. At this moment, Clara stood in front of Declan.
"Grandpa," her voice was extremely hoarse.
Seeing Clara like this, Declan felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife. His voice instantly became old and weary, "Clara, my dear granddaughter! I always tell you to stay calm, to remain composed in the face of change. Why do you never listen to me? Look at you; you've tormented yourself like this all night. If Alexander were to see you like this, you would really have no chance of marrying him in the future."
Clara, with her swollen face, looked at Declan and said, "Grandpa, Alexander has already married Elizabeth. What chance do I have? They even have a child together. Grandpa, you don't know how awful Elizabeth is. She was fostered in my family since she was a teenager. My parents loved her so much, but she always competed with me for everything. Whatever I had, she wanted it too. She never thought about the fact that she was just a foster child! She's extremely jealous, always envious of me."
She continued to slander Elizabeth, "Elizabeth doesn't necessarily love Alexander. What kind of love do they have? But just because Alexander was my fiancé, she had to snatch him away. She swore since she was a child that she would live a thousand times better than me in this life. Grandpa, Elizabeth is a psycho!"
Seeing Clara cry like this, a surge of immense anger rose in Declan's heart.
His granddaughter, whom he had finally found.
He would never let Clara suffer any grievances, never!
"Clara, listen to me. Calm down. Today, we'll pack our bags and return to Sunwillow City," Declan said in his old voice.
Clara wiped her tears with joy, saying, "Grandpa, if I calm down, can things be resolved? Will Elizabeth not marry Alexander?"
Declan calmly said, "At the very least, when you're calm, you can come up with better strategies."
Clara nodded, saying, "Grandpa, I'll listen to you. When we get to Sunwillow City, you must stand up for me."
Declan leaned against the headboard and nodded, determined to stand up for Clara.
He couldn't let Elizabeth, who had been fostered in the Guise Family since she was twelve, marry Alexander!
That morning, Clara stayed with Declan to handle his discharge from the hospital.
Although she was with Declan, Clara hardly had to do anything. In the military hospital, there were people who would take care of everything for Declan. After all, Declan had once been a respected leader here, and the staff would handle all the discharge procedures for him.
With nothing to do, Clara had time to call Oliver.
On the other end, Oliver answered quickly, his tone dejected, "Clara, we've all seen it. The internet is going crazy, and Alexander has personally admitted that Elizabeth is his wife."
"Dad! Why are you crying?" Clara asked.
Before Oliver could speak, Lila's crying voice came through, "Clara, that bitch Elizabeth! She came up with a way to make your dad and me fight each other."
"Did her plan succeed?"
Lila was silent.
"Don't tell me you and Dad actually fought each other!" Clara, no matter how foolish, could guess what had happened.
Lila admitted over the phone, "It's all that damn Elizabeth's fault. Otherwise, your dad and I wouldn't have fought each other to the death."
"You fought each other to the death?"
"Yes."
"That bitch! Damn Elizabeth!"
At that moment, Clara clenched her fists. If Elizabeth were here, Clara would have torn her to pieces.
She hung up on Oliver and immediately called Elizabeth.
At this time, Elizabeth was still nestled in Alexander's arms, sleeping soundly.
Elizabeth had been mentally tense for the past two days, and last night had been exhausting. Coupled with the sudden relaxation of her previously high-strung emotions, Elizabeth was extremely tired and slept through the night without waking up.
During the night, her husband Alexander had posted two tweets about them, which she was completely unaware of.
Moreover, the entire internet was now on Elizabeth's side, but she knew nothing about it.
She was just sleeping, very peacefully.
At this moment, Alexander posted another morning tweet.
In addition to a sweet and warm picture of them, it also had a text:
[As the president of a conglomerate, I believe that the foremost task is not just to manage the company well or to generate profits. For me, a man's primary responsibility is to marry, have children, and properly handle the relationship with his wife.
One of the most important roles of a conglomerate president is to follow his wife's guidance at home. Only when a man manages his family well can he apply the wisdom gained from marriage to the management of the company.
If a conglomerate president cannot even manage his own family, how can he talk about managing a company? Therefore, the stability and harmony of the family are of utmost importance.]
These words were all about Elizabeth.
Alexander's statement shocked the entire internet.
It turned out that the previously aloof Alexander was so sweet when it came to pampering his wife, treating her as a lifelong leader.
It was truly enviable.
While the entire company and the internet were discussing the turn of events, Clara's call reached the sleeping Elizabeth.
Elizabeth woke up in a daze and saw Alexander looking at her with both eyes, immediately blushing.
"Answer the phone," Alexander reminded her.
Elizabeth picked it up and saw that it was Clara calling. Without thinking, she said, "It's your fiancée."
Alexander was silent.
At that moment, he seemed to understand that sometimes, hurting someone didn't necessarily require knives, guns, or verbal insults. It was people like Elizabeth who could kill without a trace.
He had just posted an infinitely sweet photo and caption with her on the official Twitter.
And here she was, innocently saying to him, "It's your fiancée."
At that moment, Alexander felt like hitting her, but he couldn't bring himself to. He just said to her, "Just answer the phone and curse her out!"
"I can say anything?"
"Go ahead."
"Okay."
With that, Elizabeth picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
