Chapter 1107: The Steeles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Last night, Alexander and Ashley returned home late. But soon after Alexander returned, his grandfather called him over.

Elise originally thought Alexander’s grandfather would just ask him some simple questions. But unexpectedly, she woke up to find that Alexander hadn’t returned all night. The news she heard from the servants left her anxious and in disbelief.

Ashley said, “Mom, don’t listen to their nonsense. Although the person who killed Godfrey and forced Trevor to crawl out of Club Illuma is indeed Alex’s acquaintance, they’ve only met twice, and they’re not even considered friends. Alex can’t order him to do anything!”

Elise asked doubtfully, “Is that person really not your brother’s friend? Then, why did he help your brother?”

“I heard that person killed the top expert who worked for Godfrey just to stand up for Alexander. People also said he defeated Trevor’s expert on Alexander’s behalf. These things… clearly have something to do with your brother, right?

!!

“If your grandfather wants to pursue the responsibility, he definitely won’t let your brother off! Ah, what should we do now?”

The more she spoke, the more she felt that Alexander would be punished and the more panicked she became.

This was what Ashley was worried about too.

Ashley pursed her lips and said, “Mom, I’m telling the truth. Lucas only met Alex twice. Moreover, Alex tricked him into going to Club Illuma yesterday, and Lucas almost lost his temper.”

“Later, Godfrey provoked us and even tried to hit Lucas. Lucas taught him a lesson and crippled the expert he hired. Afterward, Godfrey courted death himself by angering Lucas, so Lucas killed him.

“Also, Trevor isn’t a good person either. He behaved arrogantly with us and Lucas as soon as he came, and he even tried to kill Lucas. Alex pleaded for Trevor, so Lucas spared his life and told him to crawl out of Club Illuma. Otherwise, he would have already died!

“At the time, Lucas even said that there were only three third-generation male heirs left in our family, and if two of them died, Alex would be the only one left and would definitely become the future helmsman. But Alex begged Lucas to spare Trevor on account that he’s a Steele!”

Ashley hastily revealed the highlights of what had happened last night.

Elise was astonished. She didn’t know that so much had happened last night.

Elise naturally believed what her daughter said, but the rest of the Steeles might not necessarily believe it.

In particular, Trevor, who was very dissatisfied with Alexander and had suffered great humiliation this time, would definitely add fuel to the fire, complain about him to the family head, and put all the blame on Alexander.

Also, the way Ashley affectionately said Lucas’s name was enough to tell her something was up.

“Are you in love with Lucas?” Elise suddenly asked.

Ashley was stunned, and only then did she realize that she had just unintentionally sounded a little too excited and affectionate when talking about Lucas.

She blushed a little and lowered her head. “Lucas… is really nice, but it was my first time meeting him yesterday. How could I be in love with him…”

Actually, Ashley knew clearly whether or not she was in love with Lucas.

But last night in the car, Alexander had already warned her that Lucas was married and had a child and that things were simply impossible between them. All she could do was be in love with him one-sidedly.

Maybe in a few days, Lucas would forget who she was.

The best choice for her now was to sever all feelings she had for him.

At the thought of this, Ashley was melancholic.

Elise patted Ashley’s hand. “Actually, from what you said, that young man does sound like a very powerful and righteous person. If you really like him and get together with him, I won’t have to worry about you and Alexander being bullied anymore.”

“Mom, I—”

Ashley was about to deny again that she had no feelings for Lucas, but Elise interrupted her, “Ashley, you’re my daughter. How can I not know what you’re thinking? You don’t have to be so anxious to deny it.

“In fact, you also know that since your father passed away a few years ago, the Steeles have treated our family of three worse and worse. And your cousins are all worried that Alexander will take over the authority in the family, so they do everything they can to suppress us. Although Alexander has done so much for the family, he’s still getting further and further away from the family’s power core.

“I’ve actually thought about it. There’s really no point in staying in such a family. Given how capable you and Alexander are, you will still be able to get by just the same even if you leave the Steeles.

“However, you two don’t lack talent. What you lack the most is someone who can protect you two even under the threat of the Steeles.

“If that Lucas you spoke of is really that powerful, and you happen to like him, then you might as well give it a try and let him protect you. I can be at ease then!”

Elise meant this from the bottom of her heart and almost made Ashley tear up.

Her mother’s thoughts naturally touched her heart, but at the same time, she knew that she was destined never to be in a relationship with such an outstanding man.

He was already married to a woman he loved and shared a child with her. It was impossible for him to fall in love with another woman.

She would never stand a chance with him.

Ashley parted her lips, wanting to tell her mother that Lucas was already married with a daughter, but a florist loyal to their family suddenly rushed in from outside and said loudly, “Bad news, Ma’am. Mr. Steele Sr. expelled Mr. Alexander from the family!”

“What did you say?!”

This news was like a thunderbolt, leaving Elise and Ashley pale and dumbfounded.

Elise never imagined that the helmsman would expel Alexander!

“Ma’am, Mr. Steele Sr. is furious. He said that Mr. Godfrey was killed by Mr. Alexander and that Mr. Alexander disgraced the family, so he kicked him out of the family. Mr. Alexander has knelt outside for a long time in hopes that Mr. Steele Sr. will withdraw his order, but it’s to no avail! Mr. Steele Sr. also made lots of callous remarks!”

The florist told Elise all the information he had heard and said nervously, “Ma’am, Mr. Steele Sr. seems serious about kicking Mr. Alexander out! Ma’am, quickly go and beg Mr. Steele Sr. to give Mr. Alexander another chance!”

Ashley was just as anxious. “Mom, what should we do? Grandpa actually said that he wants to expel Alex from the family!”

Elise calmed down, grabbed Ashley’s hand, and tried her best to remain composed. “Let’s go and look for your grandfather now!”
