Chapter 194
Elizabeth stood up, nodding quickly. “Thank you, Mr. Grayson Senior. Thank you.”
“But at the same time.. tan looked directly at Elizabeth. “The engagement between Leah and Ethan is off the table.”
Elizabethhadn’t expected lan to cancel the engagement she froze, then suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears. “Mr. Grayson Senior, you’re breaking up two lovebirds! They’re in love!” She slumped back into her chair “How could you do this? They’ll both bate you for it” lan’s eyes were cold as he responded, “Ethan doesn’t love Leah Once this is ow
H
Larrange for you and Leah to move abroad.
You won’t be coming back.”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No, that’s not possible. Ethan could never dislike Leah. They grew up together! He’s always looked out for her. How could be not love Leah?”
Tan, having had enough, turned his back onber. “See her out,” he ordered, leaving the study.
Elizabeth immediately jumped up to follow him. “Mr. Grayson Senior, you must be mistaken! Ethan and Leah are perfect for each other. You can’t tear them apart!” Andy stepped in, blocking her path with a polite yet distant smile. “Mrs. Grant, Mr. Grayson Senior needs his rest. Please, head home for now. As for Ms. Leah’s situation, Mr. Grayson Senior will take care of it.”
“I’m not leaving” I’m not leaving!” Elizabeth struggled, swatting Andy’s hand away as she tried to make her way toward lan. “Mr. Grayson Senior, you can’t break up the kids!”
Andy, an old man by now, almost threw his back out when Elizabeth swatted him Annoyed, he shot her a glare and called for a few housekeepers, “Quick, quick! det her out of here before she pains Mr. Grayson Senior’s nap!”
The housekeepers nodded, working swiftly. One grabbed her by the arms, the other by the legs, carrying her out.
Elizabeth, furious, locked and screamed, “Let go of me! Let me go!
“Oh Lord, the Grayson family is bullying a widow and her daughter! Maximillian, how could you rest in peace?”
Andy hadn’t expected her to say something so bold. Panicking, he rushed over and clamped a hand over her mouth “What nonsense are you spouting? Your daughter still needs us to help her! One more word, and we’ll leave you both on your own!” In an instant, Elizabeth fell silent,
Once Andy was sure she wouldn’t cause any more trouble, he happily let go and turned away.
But before he could fully turn, Ethan’s voice cut through the room. “Andy, what is she doing here?
Andy broke out in a cold sweat, his body going rigid for a moment. Then, with a forced smile, he turned to face Ethan “Mr. Grayson, you’re back already?=
Ethan didn’t respond. His eyes were fixed on where Elizabeth had just disappeared.
“Mrs. Grant… she…” Andy was still trying to come up with an excuse, but Ethan was already heading upstairs.
Andy paused for a moment, then hurried after him. “Mr. Grayson, are you going to see Mr. Grayson Senior? He just went down for a nap. How about I let you know when he wakes up!
“In the meantime, Katie made some chicken noodle soup. You’ve lost so much weight lately-how about I get her to bring you a bowl?
“Katie’s been cooling up a storm lately. The soup’s rich and golden, smells incredible-honestly, it’s the best chicken soup you’ll ever taste!”
Andy kept babbling, bur Ethan suddenly stopped, and Andy smacked right into his back Pain shot through Andy’s nose, and he instinctively grabbed it, while Ethan slowly turned to face him.
