Chapter 334 You Are the Leading Lady
Eliminating Elizabeth was the biggest concern for Declan, who was over eighty years old.
Although he didn't dislike Elizabeth as much now and even thought she was strong and resilient, much better than Clara, he still couldn't keep Elizabeth around for personal reasons.
He had already planned to use all his connections in Pariz and all his old subordinates to secure advantageous positions in the island city for Alexander. In exchange, he wanted Alexander to marry Clara.
It was a very tempting offer.
Alexander was also a man of ambition.
As long as Declan could get rid of Elizabeth, without her as an obstacle, Alexander would have to marry someone.
If Clara could be of great help to him, why wouldn't he marry Clara?
This was Declan's thought.
He shared this idea with Marcus of the Windsor Family, who had the same intention.
They hit it off immediately.
After their discussion, Declan made another call to Elodie. On the other end, Elodie was so excited that she almost cried when she received Declan's call, "Hello, Grandpa Jones, you still remember me?"
"Elodie, you've suffered. I've been in Pariz for treatment and haven't returned to Sunwillow City, so I couldn't handle the matters here in time. As soon as I returned to Sunwillow City, I dealt with Clara's issues and couldn't take care of you, so you've been wronged, Elodie." Declan had watched Elodie grow up and had deep feelings for her.
Hearing Declan say this, Elodie cried even harder, "Grandpa Jones, Alexander won't let my aunt support me and has frozen my bank account. I don't have a penny now and can't even go out. I should have visited you when you returned from Pariz, but I have no money and can't go anywhere.
"And that Owen, he broke up with me publicly because of Elizabeth.
"Grandpa, Owen left me for Elizabeth."
At this moment, Elodie's sadness was genuine.
So, she cried very sorrowfully, which deeply moved Declan.
"It is not that he left you, but you don't need him! What's so great about him? He's not Alexander! The Tudor Family is just a declining family in Sunwillow City! Elodie, you don't need to care about Owen. I'll introduce you to Robert of the Lavien Family!" Declan had his own plans.
If he could marry Elodie to Robert, then Elodie in Pariz and Clara in Sunwillow City could help each other. This way, their positions would be solid, and no one could bully them or shake their status in the future.
Elodie was even more delighted, saying, "Okay, Grandpa Jones, I'll follow all your arrangements."
"You've been short of money recently and can't afford a dress for the Windsor Family banquet. I'll buy it for you! You'll definitely match Robert!" Declan was very generous. Even though Elodie wasn't his granddaughter, he still loved her dearly.
Elodie was even happier, saying, "Okay, Grandpa Jones, thank you."
That night, Elodie was so happy that she couldn't sleep.
Lying in bed, she muttered to herself, "Owen! If you don't want me, someone else will! I'm going to become a member of the Lavien Family. Although they are in Pariz, not Sunwillow City, they are incredibly prestigious! Much higher than Owen's status!"
"And Harper! You lowly servant! Bitch! You can be smug about marrying Robert for now, but you'll be crying later!"
"And you, Elizabeth! You're probably sleeping in Alexander's arms right now, aren't you? You might not know yet, but Grandpa Jones has already started his attack on you. I don't believe you're more important than Alexander's plan to conquer an island! Women can be replaced anytime! But there's only one island. Conquering this island, Grandpa Jones can be of great help! So, Alexander will definitely dump you! He will definitely marry Clara! By then, Clara and I will join forces and surely drag you into hell! Just wait and see!"
All night long, Elodie dreamed such beautiful dreams.
She fantasized about being dazzling at the Windsor Family banquet.
There was only one day left until the Windsor Family banquet, and many people had different thoughts. However, the hosts of the banquet, Elizabeth and Alexander, remained calm and composed.
They went to work as usual.
After work on Friday, Elizabeth specifically asked Harper and Julia, "Have you chosen your dresses?"
Harper and Julia both nodded.
Harper said, "I tried it on, and it was altered on the spot. It fits perfectly. Let me tell you, Elizabeth, I didn't realize my figure was so good. It makes me look tall and slim. You know, my figure is actually a bit short and chubby, but after wearing that dress, my waist looks much slimmer, and my legs look very long. I even think I look beautiful."
Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "You're actually very beautiful."
"And me!" Julia raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth turned and praised Julia, "Julia is also a pretty girl, so I hope you two can outshine those women at the banquet. If more men pursue you, it will make Mr. Lavien and Mr. Jones anxious."
The three of them left the company, chatting and laughing.
Julia and Harper went to Julia's house together.
Elizabeth got into Alexander's car.
"Nervous?" Alexander asked.
"What?" Elizabeth looked at Alexander warmly.
"About tomorrow's family banquet."
"Not nervous." Elizabeth smiled.
Compared to before, she was much more relaxed in front of Alexander recently. She even tilted her head playfully and said to Alexander, "I have two helpers now, plus their boyfriends. I have four helpers in total, plus my husband and my daughter. So, no matter how difficult tomorrow is, I'm not afraid."
She smiled mischievously at Alexander.
Alexander was stunned.
He had always longed to see her smile so freely and brightly like the sun. He had never had the chance to see it until now, unexpectedly.
Alexander's expression was dazed.
Elizabeth immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let me massage you."
Alexander shook his head and gently said to her, "Tomorrow's banquet is not a danger, and you are the leading lady!"
