Last night, Alexander and Ashley came home late last night. But as soon as Alexander returned, his grandfather called him.
Elise initially thought Alexander's grandfather would only ask him a few simple questions. But suddenly, he wakes up and discovers that Alexander hasn't been back all night. The news he heard from the servants made him anxious and incredulous.
Ashley said, “Bu, don't listen to their nonsense. Although the person who killed Godfrey and forced Trevor to crawl out of the Illuma Club was indeed an acquaintance of Alex, they had only met twice, and they were not even considered friends. Alex can't tell him to do anything!”
Elise asked doubtfully, “Is that person really not your sister's friend? Then, why is he helping your brother?”
“I heard that guy killed a top expert who worked for Godfrey just to defend Alexander. People also say he defeated the expert Trevor on behalf of Alexander. These things... clearly have something to do with your brother, right?
“If your grandfather wants to pursue responsibility, he will definitely not let go of your brother! Ah, what should we do now?”
The more he spoke, the more he felt that Alexander would be punished and he became more and more panicked.
This was also what Ashley was worried about.
Ashley pursed her lips and said, “Bu, I'm telling the truth. Lucas only met Alex twice. In addition, Alex tricked him into going to the Illuma Club yesterday, and Lucas almost lost his temper.”
“Later, Godfrey provoked us and even tried to hit Lucas. Lucas taught him a lesson and crippled the expert he hired. Afterwards, Godfrey seduces his own death by angering Lucas, so Lucas kills him.
“Also, Trevor is not a good person either. He was arrogant with us and Lucas as soon as he came, and he even tried to kill Lucas. Alex pleads for Trevor, so Lucas saves his life and tells him to crawl out of the Illuma Club. Otherwise, he would have been dead!
“At that time, Lucas even said that there were only three third-generation male heirs left in our family, and if two of them died, it would be the case, Alex will be the only one left and will definitely be the helmsman of the future. But Alex begs Lucas to spare Trevor because he's a Steele!”
Ashley hurriedly revealed the spotlight of what happened last night.
Elisha. He didn't know that so much had happened last night.
Elise naturally believed what her daughter said, but the other Steel family might not necessarily believe her.
In particular, Trevor, who was extremely dissatisfied with Alexander and suffered a great humiliation this time, would definitely add fuel to the fire, complain about him to the head of the family, and blame Alexander.
Also, the way Ashley affectionately mentioned Lucas' name was enough to tell him that something was going on.
“Are you in love with Lucas?” Elise suddenly asked.
Ashley was dumbfounded, and only then did she realize that she accidentally sounded a little overzealous and affectionate when talking about Lucas.
He slightly blushed and lowered his head. “Lucas.... very good, but this is the first time I met him yesterday. How could I fall in love with her.”.
In fact, Ashley knew clearly whether she loved Lucas or not.
But last night in the car, Alexander had warned him that Lucas was married and had children and things were impossible between them. All she could do was fall in love with him unilaterally.
The best option for him now is to decide all the feelings he has for him.
Thinking of this, Ashley became melancholy.
Elise pats Ashley's hand. “Actually, from what you said, the young man sounded like a very strong and righteous person. If you really like him and hang out with him, I don't have to worry about you and Alexander being bullied anymore.
“Bu, I—”
Ashley was about to deny again that she had no feelings for Lucas, but Elise cut him off, “Ashley, you're my daughter. How do I not know what you think? You don't have to worry too much to deny it.
“In fact, you also know that since your father died a few years ago, the Steeles treated our family of three is getting worse. And all your cousins are worried that Alexander will take over authority in the family, so they're doing everything they can to put pressure on us. Although Alexander had done a lot for the family, he was still getting further and further away from the family's core strength.
“I've actually thought about it. There is no point in living in such a family. Given how capable you and Alexander are, you can still survive even if you leave the Steeles.
“However, you two are not short of talent. The least you have is someone who can protect you both even under the threat of the Steeles.
“If the Lucas you're talking about is really strong, and you happen to like it, then you should give it a try and let him protect you. I can rest easy then!”
Elise was earnest from the bottom of her heart and almost made Ashley cry.
Her mother's thoughts naturally touched her heart, but at the same time, she knew that she was destined to never be in a relationship with such an incredible man.
He is married to the woman he loves and shares a child with her. It was impossible for him to fall in love with another woman.
He would never have a chance with her.
Ashley opened her lips, wanting to tell her mother that Lucas was already married to a daughter, but a florist loyal to their family suddenly walked in from the outside and said loudly, ' she said, “Bad news, Mom. Mr. Steele Sr. banished Mr. Alexander from the family!”
“What did you say?!”
This news was like lightning, making Elise and Ashley pale and dumbfounded.
Elise never imagined that the helmsman would drive Alexander away!
“Mistress, Mr. Steele Sr. is furious. He said that Lord Godfrey was killed by Mr. Alexander and that Mr. Alexander was humiliating the family, so he expelled him from the family. Mr. Alexander had long been kneeling outside in the hope that Mr. Steele Sr. would withdraw his orders, but to no avail! Mr. Steele Sr. also made many heartless comments!”
The florist told Elise all the information she heard and said nervously, “Mistress, Mr. Steele Sr. seems serious about expelling Mr. Alexander! Ma'am, hurry up and beg Mr. Steele Sr. to give Mr. Alexander another chance!
Ashley was just as worried. “Bu, what should we do? Grandpa actually said that he wanted to get Alex out of the family!”
Elise calmed down, grabbed Ashley's hand, and tried her best to stay calm. “Come go and find your grandfather now!”
