Chapter 325 Another Uninvited Guest
On the other end, Simon's mother, Juniper, asked in surprise, "Simon, it's rare for you to call me. I know you want to say that Clara is not your cousin, but Elizabeth is. But Simon, does it matter if it's Clara or Elizabeth? The main thing is who can bring comfort to your grandfather's heart.
"Clara is doing well now; isn't that enough?
"I know you sympathize with Elizabeth, but isn't she doing well too? She married the most powerful man in all of Sunwillow City, Alexander. You should be happy for her."
After hearing Juniper say all this, Simon calmly replied, "Mom, this time it's not about Clara and Elizabeth. I want to ask you about the cause of her parents' death. Do you know the details?"
On the other end, Juniper sounded quite surprised, "Simon, why are you asking about this now? Are you worried about Elodie's living expenses? If you're really worried about her, it makes me feel a bit better. But don't worry; even though her bank account is frozen, I still have some private savings. It's enough for her monthly expenses, but I haven't sent it to The Williams Villa yet.
"Because I want her to curb her temper.
"Her temper is just too spoiled!
"I think this is good for her. Otherwise, if she continues to be so spoiled, it will harm her sooner or later!"
When talking about Elodie, Juniper was full of affection.
The more Juniper cared for Elodie, the more puzzled Simon felt.
But he didn't dare to tell Juniper about his uncertainties. He only said on the phone, "Mom, when I get home, please tell me in detail about her parents' cause of death and everything that happened before and after their deaths, the more detailed the better."
"Okay," Juniper agreed.
"Mom, I'm hanging up now," Simon said on his end of the phone.
Just as he hung up, Robert had just finished fastening Harper's seatbelt, and he stuck his head out to banter with Julia.
"Mr. Lavien, Harper is my best friend. You better treat her well and not bully her. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you!" Julia, always lively and playful, loved to banter.
Even Elizabeth couldn't match her in this regard.
And although Harper, who was already sitting in the car, used to be arrogant and domineering, she wasn't very bright and was a bit silly. However, she knew that although Julia liked to joke with her, Julia actually cared deeply for her. When she stayed at Julia's place at night, Julia even shared her pajamas with her.
At night, when Harper kicked off the covers, Julia would get up to cover her again.
Harper felt that although she had a cousin, Elodie, she wasn't as caring as Julia. So no matter how much Julia joked with her, Harper never got angry, just smiling shyly and foolishly.
Seeing her smile like that, Robert was actually stunned.
When Harper used to be arrogant and domineering, the more he looked at her, the more disgusting she seemed. But now that she had become well-behaved, she was actually quite cute.
"You are really beautiful," Robert couldn't help but say.
Harper blushed even more.
At this moment, there was a honking sound from behind, and Simon stuck his head out, saying, "Hey, Robert! Are you going or not? If you don't move, I'm going to crash into you!"
"Go right now!" With that, Robert started the engine and drove off.
Meanwhile, Simon's car stopped in front of Julia, and he said, "Let's go; I'll take you to buy a dress."
Julia raised her chin haughtily, saying, "No way! We're equals! Even though I can't afford high-end evening dresses, I can wear Elizabeth's. Don't forget that I have a very wealthy friend! This weekend, I'll go to Elizabeth's house and pick out my favorite dress from her wardrobe. I plan to outshine all the women at the party!"
The usually elegant Simon suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
Julia, wrinkling her nose in dissatisfaction, asked, "What's so funny? Is it that ridiculous? You're clearly mocking me!"
Elizabeth also gave Simon a sideways glance, saying, "Yes, Mr. Jones, don't underestimate Julia. She is a beauty; she might just be the most dazzling woman at the party."
"Exactly!" Julia said even more proudly.
Simon restrained his laughter, looking at Julia seriously, and suddenly lowering his voice, "Julia, you probably forgot that just two weeks ago, a woman named Anouk just took Elizabeth's crocodile leather handbag, and she almost..."
Simon was referring to the last time Molly set up a trap for Elizabeth at a party, where Anouk, carrying Elizabeth's handbag, almost got killed by Alexander.
Hearing Simon say this, Julia suddenly shivered in fear.
Immediately, she quickly opened Simon's car door, got in, and closed the door.
Then, Julia stuck her head out and said to Elizabeth, "Sorry, Elizabeth, I won't go to your house to wear your clothes. Please tell Mr. Windsor that I never, ever coveted your fashion dresses, never ever. Please make sure to tell Mr. Windsor."
Robert's car sped off.
After driving a long distance, he poked Julia's forehead, saying, "Do you know what you just did?"
Julia asked, "What?"
"It's called a self-incriminating confession!"
Julia asked, "What do you mean?"
Simon, driving slowly, said, "If Alexander is nearby waiting for Elizabeth, he must have heard what you said. He would know that you've been eyeing Elizabeth's beautiful clothes."
Julia fell silent.
She suddenly looked distressed, asking, "Mr. Windsor won't really want to kill me, will he? My cousin is his personal bodyguard and driver. Will he spare me for Gavin's sake?"
Seeing Julia almost in tears, Simon found it both funny and heart-wrenching.
He raised his warm hand to stroke Julia's hair and said, "No, Alexander would be thrilled that you are Elizabeth's friend."
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."
He did have some understanding of Alexander.
However, what Simon didn't know was that, as he said, Alexander was indeed not far from his car and had indeed heard Julia's bold words.
As soon as Simon left, Alexander's car pulled up in front of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was momentarily surprised, then she opened the car door and explained to Alexander, "Julia wanted to come to the house to pick out my clothes. It was actually my idea. She didn't want to come at first, but I insisted."
"I also want her to come to the house," Alexander interrupted Elizabeth, speaking directly.
