Chapter 112
As soon as this thought came up, Lisa felt a sense of justice and protectiveness. She had to see who Julian’s love rival was!
As the two of them were pulling and pushing each other, Josephine had already reached the door. At one glance, she recognized her second brother’s granddaughter, Lisa, whom she had not seen for a long time!
“Liz?”
Upon hearing Josephine’s voice, Alexandra and Lisa went silent.
Alexandra gave Lisa a look that meant she could not help Lisa now. Then, she let go of Lisa’s hand.
Lisa blinked and looked around. “Oh no! This is the wrong house! Sorry and goodbye!”
With that, she turned around and wanted to run away.
“Lisa Abbotwell!”
Josephine shouted so loudly that Lisa stopped moving with fright.
All of them went into the living room.
Alexandra and Lisa sat side by side on the couch.
Josephine sat opposite them with a solemn expression.
She had a feeling that Alexandra and Julian already knew that Lisa was in Highclere City.
But they didn’t tell her!
Lisa smiled cheekily at her grandaunt. Although Josephine and Lisa were generations apart, they were still relatives. If Josephine and Lisa were from other families, they definitely would not have kept in contact.
However, in Culver City, the Abbotwell family was a family of longstanding. Their family had always been harmonious and prosperous.
Josephine cared a lot about her family. Even after she got married and moved into Highclere City, she still maintained that deep relationship with her maternal family.
Before her husband passed away, Josephine would return to Culver City every summer and stay there for three months.
Therefore, she had a deep relationship with all her relatives.
In addition, the upbringing of the members of the Abbotwell family was strict, and the family was harmonious and prosperous. The siblings in the family also maintained a very close relationship.
Although Lisa was the granddaughter of Josephine’s second brother, she had known Lisa since she was young. Josephine treated her no differently
from Julian.
Lisa was like her own granddaughter.
Lisa smiled ingratiatingly with eyes as bright as the moon, but Josephine still looked at her sternly.
Alexandra stole a glance at Josephine. Seeing her sullen expression, Alexandra did not dare to say anything.
When Lisa realized that her grandaunt did not say anything, she decided to go all out. Lisa walked over and wanted to sit beside her.
Before Lisa could sit down, Josephine glared at her. “Go over and sit down!”
The smile on Lisa’s face froze, and she sheepishly sat down next to Alexandra again.
Lisa chuckled, “Grandaunt, please don’t be angry! I’ve wanted to visit you for a long time! But Julian said that if I come to visit you, you’ll definitely send me back to Culver City! He’s the one who told me not to tell you!”
Josephine scoffed and looked at Alexandra. “Alexandra, when did you know that Liz is in Highclere City?”
Alexandra swallowed her saliva when Josephine asked her the question. She opened her big sad eyes and decided to push the blame onto Julian. *Josephine, I met Lisa when I was taking a stroll outside one day. I actually wanted to let you know so that you’ll not be worried about Lisa. However, Julian did not allow me to tell you.”
Julian, who was reviewing contracts in the CEO’s office, sneezed twice in a row, not knowing that Lisa and Josephine had made him the scapegoat.
Josephine glanced at the two girls and then stared at Lisa. She asked, “Do you know how anxious your parents and your grandfather are? The whole family goes through each day feeling worried.”
Lisa pouted and retorted, “Nobody asks them to force me to get married. What does it have to do with them whether I get married or not? Why should they help me find a marriage partner? Do they know what century this is? Must a woman get married and have children at the age of 30?”
Alexandra nodded. “Lisa is right!”
Josephine said, “Your potential in–laws are good people as your parents know them. Even if you don’t want to marry their son, you can choose someone you like. By running away from home, do you know that you have caused much anxiety to your parents? Don’t you understand your parents‘

painstaking efforts?”
Lisa rolled her eyes and said, “I can’t believe that we have arranged marriage in this year and age. Even if I get married at 40 years old, it must be to the one I love. For me, there is no age limit for marriage. People should get married only if they are in love.”
Alexandra looked at Lisa in admiration and nodded. “I agree with Lisa totally!”
Lisa patted Alexandra’s head. “Only Alexandra understands my heart!”
Josephine was very angry with the two girls. She changed the topic and said to Lisa, “Alexandra is ten years younger than you, yet she married Julian according to the arranged marriage agreement. Can’t you see that she is very happy now? Feelings can be nurtured! Alexandra and Julian are very loving now!”
Mistress Josephine’s words drew a clear line between the two girls.
Alexandra’s face was red with embarrassment.
Lisa, on the other hand, knew the truth.
It seemed that Julian and Alexandra had totally deceived the old lady!
Lisa stroked Alexandra’s head again. “We are different people. Alexandra is twenty years old, and her thoughts are different from a thirty–year–old like
me!”
In her anger, Josephine could not rebut Lisa. Then she chided Lisa. “You’ve been mischievous and naughty since you were young!”
Lisa was not bothered by that remark and continued to pout arrogantly. “Anyway, I don’t want to go back to Culver City! I’ve found a job in a company in Highclere City. I’m very happy with the company’s culture and the salary is very good! I want to start from scratch and build my career! I don’t want to think of marriage now!”
Alexandra turned her head to look at Lisa with a big stare.
She wondered why there was such a big difference between women.
Alexandra really admired and envied Lisa.
She thought that if she could find Ace Fulton to cure her eye disease, she could also be like Lisa!
She would earn money and become rich!
Be a beautiful rich woman!
Alexandra was quite supportive of Josephine. So she stood up and walked to Josephine’s side to sit beside her and hold her hand.
Josephine did not ask her to move away. Instead, she gave Alexandra a loving look.
Alexandra tilted her head and said to Josephine, “Josephine, I think what Lisa says makes sense. Her education qualification is so high, and she is such a beauty. On top of that, she comes from a rich family. If Lisa really wants to get married, she will make her own decision. Don’t worry about her. Let her build her career in Highclere City.”
“Yes, yes, yes! Grandaunt, Alexandra is right! Please don’t tell my parents and grandfather!” Lisa nodded happily and pleaded with Josephine with her fingers clasped together.
Josephine’s gaze drifted over, and Lisa lowered her head again..
Josephine looked at Alexandra. “Are you happy being married to Julian?”
“What?” Alexandra was confused.
Josephine asked again, “Now you have a family with a loving husband who takes good care of you. I love you too. Are you happy?”
Alexandra did not dare to say no.
She quickly nodded. “I am happy, very happy!”
Lisa knew about Julian and Alexandra’s marriage agreement. When Lisa heard Alexandra lying to Josephine, she crossed her arms and cleared her
throat.
Alexandra stole a glance at Lisa and glared at her fiercely as a warning.
Josephine must not know about Alexandra’s marriage of convenience with Julian.
