Chapter 59 All Affection Lost
Behind Elizabeth, Alexander stared at her with a cold, fierce gaze.
When she slapped Clara just now, Gavin behind her was sweating for Elizabeth.
Gavin thought, 'Why is Elizabeth so unlucky?'
Elizabeth hitting Clara made Gavin feel a sense of relief, but he also knew that at this moment, Elizabeth was probably going to...
Elizabeth fiercely said to Clara, who was still covering her face and crying, "Clara, listen to me! I am still Alexander's legal wife! And Aunt Esme likes me very much, she only recognizes me as her daughter-in-law! But you, in front of Aunt Esme, are nothing! Guess what, in Aunt Esme's last month of life, will I make sure she kills your entire family? I mean what I say!"
Elizabeth was truly angered by Clara.
She had always hated the Guise family. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been imprisoned wrongfully for two years, nor would she have had to sacrifice her virginity to accompany a dying man and become pregnant as a result.
Her life and her future were all ruined by the Guise family.
Not only that, her mother had passed away, and she didn't even have the means to go back home to see her one last time.
But even so, Elizabeth still buried this deep hatred and resentment in her heart because she was still powerless. She could only prioritize supporting herself and ensure her child was born safely.
So, as long as the Guise family didn't bother her, she would take care of Esme for a month, and after Esme passed away, she would leave quietly.
But the Guise family kept coming after her again and again.
Clara even recorded a video of a group of men, looking like laborers, holding shovels around Elizabeth's mother's grave, threatening to dig it up.
How could Elizabeth endure this!
She even had the urge to fight Clara to the death!
However, for Alexander's sake, Elizabeth only slapped Clara.
She just wanted to use Alexander's power to ruthlessly suppress Clara and the Guise family once and for all.
"I really don't know what Alexander likes in you, Clara? Are you that beautiful? In terms of looks, I'm not worse than you! In terms of proximity, I have more advantage. Clara, if you dare to provoke me again, I doubt that Alexander will never become your fiancé, and I will keep him as my husband instead!"
After saying this, Elizabeth looked at Clara with a cold smile, then said, "Let me tell you, right now your fiancé, my legal husband, is very good to me, very considerate."
Clara was silenced by her words.
She was really provoked by Elizabeth's last sentence.
Clara had seen with her own eyes how good Alexander was to Elizabeth. Alexander took Elizabeth to the mall to buy the most expensive and beautiful clothes, and he bought a whole carload worth of items.
But he had never bought her a single piece of clothing.
The jealousy in Clara's heart burned fiercely, and she suddenly lunged at Elizabeth, screaming, "Elizabeth, you homewrecker. I'll fight you!"
Elizabeth sneered contemptuously and raised her hand to push Clara away.
She was just tired of Clara's entanglement. She wanted to get rid of Clara quickly and go into the hospital to see Esme. She didn't want Esme to know that she was being harassed by Clara again.
However, Elizabeth didn't expect that with just a light push, Clara would fall backward.
Elizabeth thought, 'Clara was really good at pretending, wasn't she?'
At the critical moment, someone caught Clara.
Seeing who it was, Elizabeth was stunned.
Clara took the opportunity to lean into Alexander's arms, looking at him with tearful eyes. She said pitifully, "Mr. Windsor."
Elizabeth was silent.
Alexander's gaze was like a murderous icy daggers, staring at Elizabeth.
Behind Alexander stood the Windsor family members. There were others too, whom Elizabeth didn't recognize, but there was one person she did know.
That person was Owen.
"Mr. Windsor," Elizabeth stammered, "It was her, Clara specifically asked me to come here to Aunt Esme's. I thought she wanted to disturb Aunt Esme."
"I asked Clara to wait for me here," Alexander's tone was calm but cold.
The reason Clara was at the hospital entrance was indeed because Alexander had asked her to come.
Yesterday, Marcus from the Windsor family formally suggested that Alexander choose a suitable girl from several prominent families to be his fiancée. Alexander didn't agree.
He also knew that this matter couldn't be delayed any longer.
After all, Clara was pregnant.
This morning, Marcus personally called Alexander, "Alexander, I reflected on what you said yesterday. I know you've always been concerned about Esme's treatment in the Windsor family, but the grudges of the previous generation are in the past. Besides, Esme doesn't have much time left. Both your father and I should apologize to her for things that happened in the past."
Marcus added sincerely, Today, your grandmother, your aunt, and I are going to visit Esme to discuss setting up her grave in the Windsor family cemetery and giving her the title of Mrs. Esme Windsor. Alexander, can you take us to see your mother?"
For Marcus to say such things, was already the greatest apology and concession he could possibly offer Alexander.
Alexander himself didn't care about being included in the Windsor family cemetery or genealogy.
But Esme was different.
Esme had only been with his father her entire life, and she had only ever given birth to him. Alexander knew that Esme's greatest wish was for the Windsor family to accept her and legitimize her.
She could now become a true member of the Windsor family.
So on the phone, Alexander calmly said to Marcus, "Okay, I'm in a meeting right now and can't leave. Let's meet at the hospital entrance at 4:30 PM."
After hanging up, he called Clara and asked her to wait at the hospital entrance as well. Alexander had thought it through; Clara was already pregnant, so this matter needed to be resolved quickly.
He wanted the entire Windsor family to know about Clara as soon as possible.
To give Marcus time to accept it, Alexander decided to have Clara wait at the hospital entrance, then introduce her to Marcus and the rest in an informal setting.
This was Alexander's plan, but he didn't expect Elizabeth to show up here at this time.
Moreover, Elizabeth was treating Clara with such arrogance, malice, and petty triumph.
Completely different from how she treated him.
It seemed he had been too good to her these past few days?
Had he spoiled Elizabeth too much?
"Mr. Windsor, I know you like Elizabeth a lot. But you saw it with your own eyes, Mr. Windsor," Clara cried pitifully in Alexander's arms.
Alexander held Clara tightly, patting her back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then Alexander looked at Elizabeth with a cold gaze, saying, "Did you just say you were going to kill the entire Guise family?"
