Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 214

Alexander knew that Samuel still had a soft spot for him, so he got even more proactive in approaching Samuel Later, Samuel would sigh at him with a complicated expression. However, Samuel would occasionally ask Alexander to eat with him. He would often eat with his grandfather.

At first, he was worried that his mother would fly into a rage when she found out that he was close to Samuel, because she was often irritable before he came to live in the Parks residence. However, that was not the case. After his mother found out that he was eating at Samuel’s place, she praised him for being smart and capable. She even instructed him to get closer to Samuel in the future. That was his biological grandfather after all.

He was relieved, so he often came to eat with his grandfather. He had no friends since he was born right up till he came to the Parks residence, so he wanted to be friends with Julian. He knew that Julian was his elder brother. The young Alexander wanted to be close to Julian. Julian had been a cold person since he was young, and he didn’t like Alexander addressing him as big brother.

But he felt that it didn’t matter. Julian would still be his big brother to him. Although Julian looked cold, he would occasionally give Alexander a toy. Every time he received something from Julian, he would be overjoyed for a long time. Just like that, they gradually grew up. His mother told him that he was also the Parks family’s biological grandson, so he had to compete with Julian. In his heart, he was actually unwilling.

That was until one day when he was 13, when he came back from playing basketball outside. He was sweating and panting. As soon as he returned, he rushed into Samuel’s place. He opened the fridge and took out a glass of ice water to drink. Julian snatched it away. “Everything in this fridge is mine.” At that time, he had suffered a huge psychological blow. He simply could not believe that Julian would say such a thing.

Although they were not close during those years, they were not distant as well! He called out to his brother. He wanted to see Julian tell him that he was only joking. But it didn’t happen. Julian’s face was cold and expressionless. He sat back down and wrote his code. His heart ached, but he was very thirsty. He took a cup from the table and poured warm water. Before he drank it, Julian sprinkled a handful of tea leaves into his cup.

At that time, his expression was one of astonishment and disbelief. He really wanted to put down his cup and leave, but he was too thirsty. He also thought that that was Samuel’s place, and he was also Samuel’s biological grandson. He wondered if there was a problem with just drinking a glass of water there.

He wanted to pour another cup, but seeing that there was nothing wrong with the tea leaves in the cup, he blew the tea leaves open and drank the water. After drinking, he put down the cup and left without looking back. From then on, he ignored Julian for a long time. Julian’s words echoed forever in his mind. “Everything in this fridge is mine.”

As always, his mother nagged him, telling him to work hard, to compete, to fight. He had never listened before, but after that time, he listened “That’s right. Why should grandpa’s things be his?” He thought. He wanted to compete with Julian! After so many years, he had learned to pretend, to smile, and to fight. However, his feelings for his grandfather were sincere. Without thinking further, he took the signed divorce agreement and marriage certificate and prepared to go downstairs.

There was a heated argument downstairs Alexander frowned and returned to the study. He would go downstairs after they were done arguing. Back downstairs, Tony asked Layla if she had urged Abigail to poison Samuel. Layla swore that she didn’t. Then, she accused Tony that they had been in a relationship for more than 20 years that she had poured her heart out to him, yet he didn’t trust her. Tony said that there was no smoke without fire, and why didn’t Abigail go and accused someone else. Layla was so angry that she wanted to kill herself.

Tony shouted at her. “Enough! If it’s not you, then it’s not. What’s the point of making a scene? Do you still think we don’t have enough in our hands already? The most important thing now is to quickly get Alexander to divorce that bitch.” “Am I the one making a scene? You’ve always been the one making a scene. Also, don’t let that bitch off so easily. Get her a death sentence if possible. This bitch has caused my son to suffer.” Layla was furious again at the mention of Abigail. “Alright, she attacked the old man. Will Julian let her off easily? You and Alexander, pay more attention to the sales of those clothes. I’ll go see Joseph.” Tony said and walked out.

Abigail was excited after being informed that someone wanted to see her. “Okay, sure.” She guessed that her father’s lawyer had arrived. She had to communicate with the lawyer immediately and see how to prove that Layla was the real culprit. However, she saw was Alexander coming instead. “Sign it!” Alexander sat in front of the table. His leather shoes were shiny and his trousers were immaculate. His tone was cold without a trace of warmth.

“Alexander… You can’t do this to me.” Abigail looked back at what had happened recently. She felt that what she did was too much of a mistake, everything was like a nightmare. She could have married Julian, but she was led astray by the rumors. She regretted not coming to Jadeborough personally to ask around. Later on, she could still marry Benjamin. However, she was tempted by the prestige of being a member of the richest family in Jadeborough.

She felt that Alexander could also become the heir apparent. Hence, she had taken a risk along the way. “I’ll say it again, sign it!” Alexander’s voice became even colder. “It’s fine if you want me to sign it. Let me walk out of here and be acquitted. I wasn’t the mastermind in the first place. It was your mom!” Abigail gritted her teeth and negotiated with Alexander.

“Don’t make me say it again. Sign it! If you sign it, I might not interfere with the outcome. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make you suffer.” When Abigail heard this, her heart trembled. Then, he heard Alexander say,

“Even if you don’t sign it, I can still file a one-sided divorce. It’s up to you how you choose.” “I’ll sign it!” Abigail suddenly became smart and knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

She quickly signed the agreement and gritted her teeth as she looked at Alexander. “Alexander, you have ruined my entire life. You messed with me, but you never treated me well. You forced me to this state step by step.” “No, it’s your viciousness that got you to where you are now!” Alexander picked up the divorce agreement and stood up to leave. Abigail yelled hysterically behind his back, “Me, vicious? Am I born vicious?” Alexander left without looking back. He wanted to see his grandfather!

Also, he had to think of a way to continue increasing sales. He would not lose to Julian. Julian’s men brought Bethany to the Parks’ residence. Never in her wildest dreams would Bethany have thought that the first time she reached the place, she was not treated with the highest courtesy by his in-laws. Instead, she was thrown to the floor rudely. She staggered and almost fell flat on her face.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
