Chapter 302 Tricked
Felix on the other end of the phone was almost infuriated by what Alexander said.
After a while, he caught his breath and said, "So, you want to publicly announce your marriage to Elizabeth to the whole city?"
"It's already public," Alexander replied.
Felix fell silent.
Alexander added, "As for the wedding, I'll choose another time."
Felix questioned, "Are you planning to ignore your grandparents, Sierra, and me for such a big event like your wedding?"
Alexander calmly said, "Half a month ago, I took Elizabeth to the old house and informed you all. Grandma even gave her the family heirloom crystal. Father, are you getting forgetful before you even turn seventy?"
"You!" Felix was speechless for a moment.
"You did inform the family, but the Windsor Family has relatives and friends, right? As the only heir of the Windsor Family and the current head of the Windsor Group, don't you think you should notify them about such a significant event?" Felix coughed angrily on the other end of the phone.
He felt that one day, he would be driven to death by his only remaining son, Alexander.
But Alexander took care of their food and drink, hired dozens of servants to look after the four elderly people, and by all accounts, Alexander was dutiful. However, Alexander never gave him, his biological father, any affection, which made Felix both angry and sad.
But he was truly powerless.
Unexpectedly, Alexander said, "Isn't it the responsibility of the elders to contact relatives and friends?"
Felix asked, "So, if we contact them, will you bring Elizabeth back?"
Alexander replied, "Elizabeth is the future mistress of the Windsor Family. Why wouldn't she come back?"
Felix fell silent, realizing that he had been outsmarted by Alexander without even knowing it.
Felix retorted, "I haven't acknowledged her as my daughter-in-law yet!"
"She doesn't need your acknowledgment. She is already the wife of the CEO of the Windsor Group. This was announced on the Windsor Group's official Twitter last night," Alexander said calmly.
"You're trying to drive me to death! I will not gather relatives and friends to acknowledge Elizabeth!" Felix roared.
"That would be best!"
Felix fell silent again, feeling once more that he had been outsmarted by Alexander.
It seemed Alexander had been waiting for him to say that.
Felix suddenly realized that whether the old house acknowledged Elizabeth or not had little to no impact on Alexander and Elizabeth.
Alexander simply didn't care about their acknowledgment.
If they acknowledged her and contacted relatives and friends, Alexander could take the opportunity to announce Elizabeth's identity in front of everyone, solidifying her status in the Windsor Family.
If they didn't acknowledge her, it would save Alexander the trouble.
Either way, Alexander had the upper hand.
This infuriated Felix.
But despite his anger, Felix immediately arranged to inform all the relatives and friends of the Windsor Family by phone.
After hanging up, Alexander didn't think much about what Felix would do.
That wasn't his concern.
At the moment, the thing Alexander wanted to do most was to get off work early.
That afternoon, Alexander, who was usually steady in reviewing contracts and holding meetings, was somewhat distracted.
However, a rare smile appeared on his face. Even a slight smile from Alexander was enough to warm the entire Windsor Group staff. Especially the female employees.
"Did you see the Windsor Group's official Twitter?"
"Who hasn't? The official Twitter hadn't posted anything for three years, and then it posted a picture of Mr. Windsor holding his wife. It was so sweet. Mr. Windsor showed us that even a cold man can have a tender side."
"I suddenly realized I really like Mr. Windsor!"
"How can you say 'suddenly'? You've always had a crush on Mr. Windsor!"
"I used to like him vaguely, but now I like him a lot. I didn't know Mr. Windsor could be so caring. Now that I know, I wish Mr. Windsor would ravish me," a mature woman said dreamily.
"Shut up! You and your girlish fantasies! Be careful; Mrs. Windsor might hear you and gouge your eyes out!"
"Don't you want something to happen with Mr. Windsor?"
"I do, but I only think about it. I've never dared to say it out loud. I didn't dare before, and now that Mr. Windsor has a wife, I dare even less. I'm just happy to see Mr. Windsor at work every day."
"Who isn't?"
"Stop talking. Mr. Windsor is coming!"
Several chatting women immediately fell silent.
No one in the Windsor Group wasn't afraid of Alexander, not just because they knew he was ruthless and cold-hearted, but also because he was always serious and expressionless at work.
Alexander's calm demeanor was more intimidating than a man with a stern face.
However, today he was different.
There was a barely noticeable smile on his usually calm face.
As he passed by a few employees, Alexander, who was usually silent, said, "Good job. Get off work early."
The employees were collectively stunned.
It wasn't until Alexander's figure disappeared into the exclusive elevator that the women snapped out of their daze.
One of them was the first to come to her senses, "Was I dreaming? Mr. Windsor greeted us."
"I had the same dream!"
"Me too."
"We weren't dreaming. Mr. Windsor did greet us."
"It must be Mrs. Windsor's influence."
"Mrs. Windsor must be a goddess."
"I'm so jealous of her, being able to capture the heart of such a noble man like Mr. Windsor."
While the female employees of the Windsor Group were buzzing with excitement and envy for Elizabeth, Alexander was already on his way to Elizabeth's architecture firm to pick her up.
Elizabeth was also very busy that afternoon.
After all, she hadn't worked for a few days, and catching up took time.
However, she was busy and happy. No one bothered her, allowing her to focus on her work. Elizabeth was a person who took any job seriously and responsibly.
Before she knew it, it was time to get off work.
Elizabeth packed her bag and walked out with Julia and Harper, chatting and laughing. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw the man leisurely leaning against the car door.
"Off work?" Alexander asked in a low, calm voice.
