The Caring Wife
“Jamie, what kind of sick joke are you pulling?” Julius’ expression was just as nasty. Anastasia was
now Alexander’s new love, so she wasn’t a stranger to Julius. Yet, Julius only knew a tad bit about the
other party’s connection.
She could be like other women who replaced Mrs. Griffith, but that never meant that she could replace
Elise and lead Dragonweiss.
“I’m not kidding,” Jamie continued, as though he was not afraid of death. “We have already been
without a leader for such a long time, so it’s high time for someone to take us to new heights. Miss
White is powerful, so this position is hers!”
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to gaze at Elise, acting as though he was utterly smitten. There wouldn’t
be any issues now that she had masked her true identity. Since her life was full of hope, how could he
not worship her?
Arthur narrowed his eyes at his words and could barely reign in his murderous aura. “I won’t stop you if
you want to betray us, but only Elise can give me orders. Since we don’t share the same principles,
we’ll go our separate ways today. So don’t look for me anymore!”
At that, Arthur turned and walked toward the door of the ward. When he passed Elise, she hurriedly
removed her voice disguise and used her original tone to address him. “Are you leaving me too,
Arthur?”
He stopped in his tracks. It was as if someone had pressed his acupuncture point; he froze on the spot.
His eyes even widened to the size of saucers when his mind registered just to who the owner of this
voice belonged.
Although it took Arthur a long time to regain his composure, he saw Elise’s wise eyes when he turned
his head. Sure, that familiar voice and gaze were definitely Elise, but why did she hide it under another
identity?
A while later, Arthur suddenly realized something and excitedly grabbed her arm. “Boss, it’s you, right?
You’re back!!!”
I can’t be wrong. Seven years ago, Mr. Griffith showed himself as Kenneth Bailey, and now Elise has
done the same!
Before Julius could react, Arthur immediately hugged Elise. “I knew it. You are still alive. You won’t
abandon us, and I waited. This is awesome…”
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Since he was afraid of appearing weak, he quickly released her and turned away to pretend to
straighten his hair while taking the opportunity to dry his tears.
Yet, he still couldn’t escape Jamie’s sly eyes. “F*ck. Arthur, you are crying! You are so weak, hahaha!”
Apart from Arthur, even Julius was close to tears.
“Shut up!” Arthur knew that he had been tricked, but he only dared to attack Jamie and tried his best to
regain the rest of his dignity, “What do you know? My eyes were blinded by sand!”
“Oh, really. There’s sand in a VIP ward? The hospital must be slipping.” Jamie pursed his lips in mock
disgust. “No matter what, you don’t have what it takes to be a man. I didn’t shed even a single tear
when I recognized our Boss.”
“Come on, if you want to play tricks, forget about tears. I’ll punch your lights out!”
The two went back and forth with their banter for a while as it livened the atmosphere, but it was still
causing a commotion.
“Cut it out,” Elise interrupted. “Let’s get down to business. I didn’t come back to reconcile with you all. I
have things to discuss.”
“Just say the word, Boss. We’ll try our best to fulfill it!” An enthusiastic Julius was eager to prove his
worth.
“We can finally fight together again!” Arthur said with feeling.
Elise was rather touched, but she was aware that it was not the time to celebrate. So, she had to
remain calm instead.
“For the next period of time, our opponent is Wendy Jennings, someone considered to be at the top of
the world of physics. Apart from her own power, we need to deal with the corruption that protects those
involved. Our actions must be highly confidential, and everyone will only take orders from me. I will
distribute the respective tasks separately via an encrypted file. Everyone has to complete their tasks
within the specified time successfully. Any questions?”
“Nope.” Arthur patted his chest and promised, “As long as you are here, we’ll be fine!”
“Yeah. We’ve been working hard for so long. Once we’ve brought down the organization, you guys can
rest.”
…
By the time Alexander returned home, Elise had showered and changed into her pajamas.
She got up to help him change when she spotted him coming in. “Did everything go well at the banquet
tonight?”
“I did get something good out of it.” Alexander took a business card from his pocket and handed it to
her.
Elise glanced at it before frowning. “Mack Thompson? Isn’t that Prince Caleb’s bodyguard? He doesn’t
have a good reputation.”
“That’s why I don’t plan on working with him.” Alexander strode over to the bar and poured himself a
glass of warm water.
Elise paused in thought before joining him at the bar. She sat down opposite him and leaned against
the counter as she stared at him with gleaming eyes. “Are you thinking about linking him up with
Wendy?”
“My wife knows me well.” Alexander leaned in and gazed at her fondly as he shared his game plan. “No
matter how strong your opponent is, they will still run themselves to ruin if they have a foolish ally who
bogs them down.”
Elise nudged his chin a little coyly. “Wendy might not choose to work with someone you’ve ruled out.”
“That’s true.” Alexander nodded in agreement, but he still had a look of confidence. “But the world
works in mysterious ways. Something completely ordinary can become high in demand if enough
people compete over it. As long as I leave a trail of crumbs, I’m sure someone will take the bait.”
“Mack Thompson is an insatiable man. So you need to be extremely careful when you deal with them,
or you might end up stuck with him,” Elise cautioned.
“Don’t worry.” Alexander held her hand in his as he promised solemnly, “I won’t let us end up with the
short end of the stick, Ellie.”
The love and adoration in their eyes as they stared at one another ignited their hearts, and the fire in
their hearts seemed to have affected the room’s temperature.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
All of a sudden, someone started knocking on their door. It effectively destroyed the mood, and they
had to douse the flame.
Elise went to answer the door. She saw Chubs and Irvin standing outside. The former hung his head
low while the latter was fuming. It was clear that they had gotten into a fight.
She crouched down and addressed Chubs first. “What happened? Can you tell me?”
Chubs handed over the exercise book in his hand before complaining, “Irvin didn’t keep his promise.
We agreed that I’ll receive a dessert as a reward for every exercise book I complete, but he won’t let
me eat it now.”
Elise frowned. The pitiful look on his face brought out her sympathy. He must be so upset after having
his hopes dashed.
Alexander came over and looked at Irvin. “What’s going on?”
Irvin pouted in frustration and rolled his eyes at Chubs. “Real men don’t snitch.”
Chubs hung his head even lower as his chubby fingers began to fidget nervously.
