Chapter 524 Know Your Place

"Know your place."

Layla froze. She still wanted to defend herself.

Finished

Alexander, however, didn't bother to conceal his feelings, and bluntly said, "Do you like me? I'll only love my wife, and will never love you. So, stop being an eyesore in front of us. If you cross the line again. I won't show you any mercy, not even if you bring up your grandma!"

It was presumably out of respect for Marley that Alexander acted so decisively. After all, with Layla's aggressive approach, if she was allowed to continue acting in this manner, it would likely lead to an uncontrollable situation.

That was why he decided to clear the air to avoid any further complications. This would also effectively counter any excuses Layla might come up with.

As expected, those words of Alexander left Layla completely taken aback. She wasn't a fool, and she could tell that Alexander was being serious.

Don't men all enjoy seeing women fighting for their attention Even if they have no intention of having an affair, they should feel secretly pleased in such situations. Even the most outstanding men would fall for such tricks. They usually pretend not to understand to relish it covertly! What on earth is wrong with Aler?

Seeing the closed door before her, Layla returned to her room dejectedly and slumped onto her bed.

She had never felt such deep embarrassment or profound failure in her entire life. Suddenly, a wave of injustice filled her heart, and tears began to fall

She had never shed tears for a man before.

Previously, Alexander was merely just a prey to her, but now, he had deeply penetrated her heart.

She had always been willful and arrogant. Coupled with her understanding of human psychology, she had never let anything slip out of her control. Yet, this was her first time experiencing a setback.

She was not willing to give up. If seduction doesn't work, I'll drugged him then. That's how he got himself a wife anyway, isn't it?

Unfortunately, her plan didn't escape Isabella.

A twitch played at the corner of Isabella's lips as he held Alexander, kissing his chin "You're always attracting admirers!" Alexander's gaze slightly hardened when he heard Isabella's heartfelt words. She really can't understand simple words....

Alexander couldn't be bothered, but he did take the initiative to send a message to their family's gossip group chat that they created without adding Isabella. He had more important matters to attend to. Before long, the group chat exploded:

Alexander responded with a few words, then cuddled Isabella and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 524 Know Your Place

Upon hearing his request, Lionel instantly glared at him, visibly irked. Nevertheless, a sense of relief woon washed over him. It was rare for Alexander to make such a willful demand, so naturally, he was willing to comply. It was a distinct honor none of his other grandchildren had been granted because he always carried a sense of guilt toward this particular grandson

"It was my fault for not taking good care of you back then. Luckily, you now have a family and an established career... It makes me really happy to know that you've found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with." Lionel's eyes welled up with tears as he spoke.

"Grandpa, I'm fine now," said Alexander. After all, he couldn't remember much, so for him, what was in the past should be in the past.

Lionel blinked and waved his hand, saying, "All right, then. Have your people make the arrangements"

After leaving his study, Alexander went to replace Marley. Originally, she had wanted to make arrangements for the preparations for the birthday banquet. Now, Alexander took over all the responsibilities, but she was still quite worried, fearing that he might be too busy. However, he reassured her that it was no issue

While they were in the midst of a conversation, Maeve unexpectedly arrived. Of course, there was nothing

wrong

with her coming to look for her mother. When she saw Alexander there as well, she greeted him with a smile.

In an instant, Alexander felt uncomfortable all over. Especially when Marley got up to fetch something and Maeve took the opportunity to sit nearer to him, his body became completely rigid and his expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"It seems like Layla hasn't gotten up yet. She didn't cause any trouble when she went back with you all to rest last night, did she? That young girl has been spoiled by her dad and me. If she's being willful, you can give her an earful as her brother. We're okay with that. Had it not been for Marley's timely return, Alexander might not have been able to say anything He quickly got up to excuse himself, without uttering another word.

"Did I say something wrong?" Maeve asked, puzzled.

Marley sighed. "Well, it's our fault for not taking

od care of him when he was young. It seems like his personality hasn't fully changed. By the way, should we ask Harvey to take a look at him when he's here?" 1.9K
