Alexander had no intention to prolong the conversation. He then ended the call before making anotherto Cameron. “Is there no way to amend the documents?”

“Mrs. Griffith must have thought of that beforehand. She’s now hoarding the document and even toldthe company’s shareholders that you’re passing your share and the company’s rights to inheritance onto Matthew. And they’re heavily against it.” Cameron didn’t know Alexander’s decision was for the sakeof Elise until the phone call between Alexander and his motherearlier. Giving away his honor and benefits without any hesitation, he loves her that much, huh...

“Thanks,” Alexander replied flatly as he frowned.

Given how Matthew had gone this far unscrupulously, if Alexander refused to compromise with him,Elise would definitely be the first one to take the hit. He didn’t manage to protect her, so how could heallow her to be harmed the second time? At

once, he summoned his private jet. About two hours later, the jet landed on the grassy yard of GriffithResidence.

At his arrival, Danny wasstunned. He ordered Cameron to handle the matter, but now he‘s coming back himself? “Alexander,what happened to Boss? Why did you hand everything over to Matthew? Is he threatening her?” Dannyshot a volley of questions. Although he was once resentful toward Elise, ever since he was beaten byher fair and square, he wholeheartedly surrendered and started treating her as his real boss. It painedhim to see the lengths his mother would go to hurt her, and he didn’t want things to escalate to thepoint where Alexander and their mother turned against each other.

“She’s currently in a bad spot. You know Matthew well. Give him a call. If he’s willing to change hismind, I might let him off easy.” Despite his aggressive words, Alexander’s face revealed onlyagony. After all he has done, killing him off is only merciful!

“What about you, then?” Danny chased after his brother.

Without even turning around, Alexander coldly blurted, “Company.” Naturally, he had to head to thecompany after knowing his mother had perturbed their shareholders.

Danny, still following after his brother, inquired, “It’s true that Mom’s overstepping her boundaries, butwe’ve all known she’s always been like that. And she hasn’t recovered from her injury, so can you goeasy on her?”

Those words, however, battered Alexander’s heart. After all, he wasn’t someone who would easilymake an enemy out of his own mother. “Make the call, Danny.” He pursed his lips, attempting to collecthis feelings before extending his arm to give his brother a pat on the back. Among the chaos, one thinghe was pleased to replace was that his little brother was much more mature than how he used to be.

Having reached the company, Alexander was welcomed by the stony glares of the shareholders. Withthat, the shareholders started reprimanding him. “You know you’re not the only owner of Griffith Group,and that Matthew is in no way capable of managing a company. How could you transfer your sharesover to him?”

“You know damn well what kind of a person he is. Are you trying to destroy what we had built?”

“You must have spent too much time with that Elise woman! Can’t you see she’s tearing you and thecompany apart?”

Seeing how the shareholders were rebuking him, Madeline felt satisfied. More precisely, she had beenecstatic since the moment Alexander showed up, as that suggested the accomplishment of her

plans. Whatever Matthew intends to do to Elise is solely up to him, and I couldn‘t care less. They couldboth die in a car crash and I won‘t even shed a tear!

At how the shareholders were each pressuring him by standing on the moral high ground, Alexandercoldly scoffed. “Why, everyone of you… Do I no longer have the right to pass on the shares that’slegitimately under my name?” Those words, spoken to the shareholders, were also targeted at hismother. He frankly continued, “I didn’t come here to beg for anything, for I’ve come only to notify all ofyou this I have my rights and liberty on how I manage my own affairs. Anyone who wishes to challengethat can bring it to the court.” Alexander had always been an intimidating figure in Griffith Group, andno one dared to defy him. After all, he was already the president of the company at such an early age,and his achievements had surely astounded many. Moreover, with such an overbearing aura he wasemitting, no one was bold

enough to raise their voice.

Nonetheless, his speech left a fatal blow in Madeline’s heart. With how he brought up “going to court”right in front of her, he was obviously provoking her with a lawsuit. From the start of her rantings to themoment where she stabbed her own chest with a knife, all of those memories flashed acrossMadeline’s mind, and she couldn’t repel them. Bearing the stinging ache on her chest, she was finallyable to see clearly Alexander’s emotions and attitude-how he was willing to neglect her for Elise’s sake.

What‘s the point of persisting any more? Let alone filing a lawsuit, he wouldn‘t even care if I actually dieof how arrogant she was, a change of mind was only a matter of epiphany. Upon the realization, shehanded the documents to Alexander. Drained, hollow, she couldn’t even speak a word.

Instead of grabbing the documents, Alexander was rather concerned about his mother. “Are you okay?Let me send you to the hospital.” At the end of the day, they were still family, so there was no wayAlexander’s feelings wouldn’t falter.

Nevertheless, Madeline shoved his hand away. “Take the documents and go save Elise. I’m fine. Don’tworry about me.” In fact, debating about her condition was no longer relevant.

However, to Alexander, her behavior was totally out of character. Swiftly, he grabbed her arm andpleaded with a raspy voice, “I’m begging you. Stop causing me troubles at such a crucial time, okay?”All he wanted to do now was to rescue Elise from Matthew’s hands as quickly as possible. He wasutterly exasperated by all these shenanigans.

Look at what I‘ve become in my own son‘s eyes! All of a sudden, Madeline laughed at herself. She hadalways taken things to the extreme, always threatening to kill herself when things didn’t go her way.“Don’t worry. I’m not that eager to die yet. I just need some time alone.” She attempted to pushAlexander away, but the latter grasped her even tighter.

Given her atrocious condition, Alexander wouldn’t feel any less burdened to leave her alone. “Youpushed me into Griffith Group when I was still in my teens. Now that I’m an adult, why can’t I choosewhom I intend to spend the rest of my life with? You’re my dearest mother, and that’s an unchangingfact no matter what happens, no matter how you end up. All I ever wanted is to be happy following myown heart. If you haven’t been stopping me, she would’ve already become mine. Do you know that?” Ifit weren’t for his mother, Elise wouldn’t have returned to the Northwest prairie. Sadly, any furtherquarrel would only be a waste of time as things were already in the past now.

Upon those words, Madeline felt suffocated. She couldn’t bring herself to speak aword. Right. If it weren‘t for me, they would‘ve been bound to each other.
