Chapter 811 1 Don't Care!

In the hospital, despite having casts on both her legs and an arm, Adelpha was still not staying stillas she shouted, “Don’t bother me! It was supposed to be my opportunity to study abroad, but it'snow been stolen! I'd rather die!"

When Lyra saw that, she felt bad for her and kept coaxing her, “My poor daughter. Let's not thinkabout that anymore, okay? You need to focus on your recovery first. Don't move around already.You've just applied some medicine. It'd be a shame if the wound on your pretty face gets infectedand leaves a scar!”

“I don't care! I want to go overseas! I want to further my studies! I want Maestro Yorkson!” Adelphaglared at Elise and said, “It's all because of her. She made me like this! If she hadn't dodged in thefirst place, I wouldn't have fallen down the stairs! She wanted to ruin my face! Is stealing MaestroYorkson not enough?! How can this be fair?!”

Hearing that, Elise rolled her eyes. “You're saying that I should've just stood still, let you push medown the stairs, and end up like how you are right now? Will you be happy then?”

"Did I say that? If you had stopped me, maybe both of us wouldn't have fallen down. You justwanted to make a fool out of me in front of Maestro Yorkson!” Adelpha was relentless.

“Enough!” Onyx was annoyed by the both of them and shouted sternly. “Have you not embarrassedyourselves enough yet?!”

Adelpha stopped talking at once. In fact, Elise didn't want to bother her in the first place, so shelooked away.

Irritated, Onyx looked at Elise and clicked his tongue, but didn't say anything else

Then, he turned to look at Adelpha and scolded her, “You! Who can you blame when you can't evenwalk properly yourself? After learning the piano for so many years, you aren't even better than yoursister, who started later than you. How dare you make a fuss when you have lousy skills? If I wereyou, I'd just live quietly. Why do you need to ask for a scolding yourself..."

“Dad! Why are you saying that to me?!” Adelpha was angry and sulky at the same time since hisattitude toward her these days was turning colder and colder.

"Did I say anything wrong?” He became more agitated and said, “Do you know how much I've spenton you throughout the years? How did you repay me? You're bad at the piano, and your academicsaren't stellar either. You just can't do anything right, so why can't I say anything about you?”

“I...” she had no comeback and could only pull her blanket as she sulked, feeling angry on her own.Looking at her sulky look, Jacob nearly laughed out loud. However, he didn't want to stir up trouble,so he held back his laughter.

Just then, a notification from Twitter popped on his phone suddenly, which included “the two eldersof the Sinclairs' as the keywords.

He clicked into the trending list and was attracted by the hashtag that was trending first.

He stared at his phone screen for two seconds with an intriguing look on his face. Then, hedeliberately raised his voice. “Oh, Alexander is getting married.”

"What?!" Adelpha strained her ears at once and shouted agitatedly, “What? What are you talkingabout? Alexander is my boyfriend. It's impossible for him not to tell me if he's getting married!”Under Onyx's pressure, she must have swallowed the word “f*ck’.

Hearing that, Jacob shrugged his shoulders and said casually, “See for yourself if you don't believeme, then. It's trending.”

As he said that, he clicked something on his phone and passed it to Elise, who was standing besidehim.

When Elise took over the phone, what was showing on the screen was not the news aboutAlexander, but a news account that uploaded social news.

“The historic town area is on fire. The whereabouts of the two elders from the Northwest's SinclairFamily are still unknown..."

The mountain in Elise’s heart collapsed at once, and her heart skipped a beat.

After a while, she snapped out of her daze and turned around to run out of the place.

Onyx tried to ask her to stay, but before he could say anything, Elise and Jacob disappeared fromthe room.

“Rude,” he complained in a low voice.

Beside him, Adelpha finally finished reading the news about Alexander's marriage with help fromLyra.

Her expression worsened as she read the news. In the end, she even threw the phone away andstarted crying while hugging the blanket. “Why? Why is everyone abandoning me? Alexander issuch a traitor!”

“There you go crying again. You only know how to cry. Can't you live without men around you?You've really embarrassed the White Family. When your legs recover, go back to the suburbs atonce, and don't come back to town without my order!” After saying that, Onyx left as well. It wasbetter for him not to see her since he didn't want to waste any more time with her.

Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Elise entered the car and instructed Jacob to drive. “Go to thehistoric town area!” she said.

Although there was not much expression on her face, it was obvious that she was extremely tense.Hearing that, Jacob started the engine and seemingly remembered something. He then turned tolook at her and said calmly, “Master, I think we should confirm the authenticity of this news first.What if this is a trap set by the Boyle Family, and they are just waiting for us to bite the bait? It'll bethe end of us!”

“I don't care!” she shouted uncontrollably. “They are the ones who raised me. I can't bet on theirlives!”

As soon as she said that, her phone started ringing. She took out her phone and saw that it was anunknown number.

At this moment, Elise and Jacob exchanged looks, and the same person came across their minds—Elijah.

After reorienting her breath, she picked up the call and put the phone at her ears before probing,“Hello? Who is this?"

“It's me.” The moment Alexander's voice came from the other side of the phone, all her tenseemotions dissolved at once.

She lowered her shoulders and heaved a sigh of relief.

“I'll keep it short not to leave anything against me. Grandpa and Grandma are well. Don't befooled!” Alexander hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

When Elise called the number again, it couldn't be reached anymore.

"What's wrong, Master?” Jacob asked with concern.

“Nothing...” She put down her phone despondently, but it was obvious that she had calmed down"Are we still going to the historic town area?” he asked again.

While shaking her head, she looked to her front with something in her mind. “Go home. We shouldget ready for the trip overseas with Maestro Yorkson.”

In one of the office buildings of Tissote, Elijah was standing in front of the French window. Hiscunning eyes were overseeing the whole city below his feet, showing his greed.

“Master, two days have passed, but there's still no news. Could it be that Elise didn't come back?”Marcus asked from the back.

Hearing that, Elijah narrowed his eyes and put one of his hands on the glass while flicking his finger."Did she really die at sea?”

“That's possible. There is always news about sharks attacking boats around the area we passed bythe other day. Her body might be in one of the sharks’ stomachs already.” Marcus analyzed thesituation

At this moment, Elijah kept quiet. Did I lose a good pawn just like that?

“What should we do about the two elders of the Sinclair Family?” Marcus asked respectfully.“Release them.” Elijah waved his hand. “What good can there be to keep those two old ones? I'lltake this as doing one good thing in my life. Prepare for the trip overseas.”

The mess that Elise left behind was still waiting to be cleaned up.
