Probably because of Ariel's words and Brendon's threats, Elaine's mind was thrown into an inexplicable
panic.
It's like trying so hard to grab something, but always falling short.
It forced her to step out of the fairy tale world and face the cruel world.
Darnell knew what she was thinking, and said half-heartedly, "I can't answer you now, and I can't sway
his decision."
Elaine bit her lip, her eyes a little red.
She knew that she shouldn't discuss these issues with him, but she was really scared.
See the James family that look, should be will spare no effort to deal with Darnell, and her father and
they belong to the same camp ......
Elaine never dared to think about how things would turn out in the end, nor did she want to face it.
But she couldn't accept that she had to choose one of the two of them.
But it's like Ariel says, it's not something that won't happen if she doesn't make a choice.
She really doesn't know what to do now.
Darnell raised his hand, wiped away the tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "I
promise you that he will always be there for you."
The light reappeared in Elaine's eyes and she threw herself into his arms.
Darnell placed his palm gently on her head and looked quietly into the distance, remembering the
conversation he had with Franklin that night.
Franklin said: "I know that the James family is long gone, Elaine grandfather also had the intention to
support you, but you should know that what you are doing now, not only change the whole the James
family, but also shake the James family survival of the foundation ."
"I know you're doing all this to try to completely excise the rotten rules of THE James family from their
roots, except that for the whole of THE James family, the ancestral laws that you presume to change,
they won't accept."
"One of the reasons why Carl has come so far and led all of THE James family to fight you is because
of the huge money chain behind him, and the other is because, he knows what they want."
"I also know very well that you want more than Riverside City, and when that day comes, they will not
be able to compete with you, so they choose to stand against you at this time."
"The end result they want is probably to force you to take a step back, agree to their terms, divide THE
James family, and from then on, not to have anything to do with each other. But that's only temporary,
and what's more, there's no way you'll agree to it."
"I can help you find out the forces behind Carl, but I only have one request, don't let Elaine get involved
in any of this, I want her to be happy and joyful forever, and send her away from Riverside City after I
die."
Clearly, Franklin has made up his mind.
When it was over, the James family, Carl, and even the forces behind Carl, would not let him go.
Franklin, on the other hand, had no intention of living.
If he doesn't die, the James family won't let up, and they will only take it out on Elaine.
He didn't want Elaine to be in danger every day for the rest of her life.
......
When Elaine got home, she saw her dad's car parked in the yard and rushed in: "Dad, are you back?"
Franklin sat in the sofa, his expression was hard to hide his tiredness, but still smiled when he saw her:
"You're back, you're back, I told you dad was busy, why are you still in a hurry?"
Elaine sat next to him, her mouth puckered, "I was worried about you when I didn't come back all
night."
Franklin stroked her head, "What could be wrong with Daddy, worrying all day long."
Saying that, he added, "And where did you come back from this?"
Elaine's eyes glanced away, "I ...... I went to see Natasha at the hospital ......"
Franklin saw through it and patted her shoulder twice: "Okay, I'm going upstairs to rest."
Elaine followed him, wanting to say something.
Franklin turned back, "What else is going on?"
"I ......" Elaine thought about it or said, "I met Brendon when I was at the hospital, Dad, were you
trapped there and they wouldn't let you go? "
Franklin frowned, "Brendon went to see you?"
Elaine nods her head.
Franklin was silent for a while: "Elaine, don't believe anything he says, and be more careful of him."
"I will."
Franklin took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Does
Brendon know Natasha?"
Elaine sniffed, "I don't know ......"
"The men said that Brendon was seen at Natasha's birthday party, so if you don't know him, forget it,
and always be careful."
Elaine answered and sent Franklin to his room before going back to her bedroom.
She plopped down on her bed and opened Natasha's circle of friends, looking at the birthday group
photo she had posted a few days before.
Checked over and over again tomake sure there was no Brendon on it.
Then why did he show up at Natasha's birthday party?
Elaine was about to exit the page when a possibility suddenly occurred to her.
Natasha the boyfriend who always struck her as odd and never showed up!
Thinking of this possibility, Elaine rushed to dial Natasha's phone, but there was no answer.
Elaine followed up by dialing Archer's number.
"Hey ......"
"Cousin, are you in the hospital? It's a hundred thousand times more urgent!"
Archer: "...... is not available."
Elaine also heard the nurse on his side and said anxiously, "My friend is not answering the phone, I
don't know if something is wrong, go check it out for me, please."
"What is it again, you have so many tricks in your day."
"This time it's really really urgent, I ...... I can't talk to you for a while, anyway, you go to the ward and
see if she's there, I'll be right over."
"All right, all right, got it."
Hanging up the phone, Elaine hurriedly ran downstairs.
On her way out, she also took along a couple of bodyguards her dad had arranged for her.
......
On the hospital side, Archer took Elaine's call and walked slowly and leisurely towards Natasha's ward.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw that the nurse was packing the beds.
Archer said, "Where are the patients here?"
The nurse said, "She was just picked up and discharged by her boyfriend."
Archer stood in place for two seconds and chased after him with some headache.
Elaine is so good at finding things for him to do.
He ran to the hospital entrance just in time to see Natasha leave in her car.
Archer raised his hand and stopped a car, "Follow the one in front of you."
While he took out his phone, he dialed Elaine's number: "Picked up by her boyfriend."
"We can't let her go with Brendon, it'll be dangerous!"
"Got it, I'm not following it up." Archer added, "But that's her boyfriend, what's the danger."
Elaine quickly organized her thoughts: "That Brendon, is Aunt Maple's son, their family has been
forcing my father, want me to marry him, this afternoon, Brendon came to see me once, but ...... but
was Darnell drove away, and Natasha is not answering the phone, I always feel that something will
happen."
