Chapter 120
Frank had heard Marco say before that Alexandra was not well treated by the Doherty family.
Alexandra looked so shabby even on her wedding day.
Furthermore, the Doherty family did not give her a single cent as dowry.
Peter smiled as he served Julian a cup of tea. He could not help but said in a flattering manner, “Julian, you come to visit me despite your busy schedule. I feel so honored!”
Margot then said hurriedly. “That’s right, Julian. It has been quite some time since Alexandra married into the Ranford family. Did she create any trouble for you? Please teach her some lesson if she was being a menace. She did not stay by her parents‘ side for a long time. So, it is inevitable that she might get into some trouble.”
Frank glanced at Margot and rolled his eyes upon hearing what Margot said.
On the other hand, Julian was calm. He twitched his mouth slowly as he looked at Margot, “Alexandra is very well–behaved in the family. My family members like her so much. Unlike someone else who had parents by her side, yet did not seem to have a good upbringing.”
The smile on Margot’s face froze all of a sudden. She did not expect Julian to speak up for Alexandra.
Margot could not help but despise Alexandra instantly. Alexandra, that country bumpkin, was quite capable. Wasn’t she? She actually could coax Julian to side her.
Upon hearing what Julian said, Peter’s mind flashed with a hint of hope. Since Julian cared about Alexandra so much, there would be a chance for him. to borrow the money from Julian.
Peter leaned forward and asked tentatively, “Julian, did Alexandra tell you anything after she went home yesterday?”
Julian replied with a hum. Then, he said, “Alexandra was in a bad mood after she returned home. That’s why I come over to have a chat with you, Mr. Doherty.”
Mr. Doherty? Suddenly, the conversation became so tense after Julian said the word.
By right, Julian should address Peter as “father” or “dad“.
Peter paused for a moment. He then saw Julian putting on a fake smile.
Julian’s brown eyes were filled with a sense of domineering. They made people feel a chill down their spine indeed.
Peter felt a chill down his spine instantly too.
Upon seeing such a situation, Margot knew that something seemed to be amiss. Thus, she smiled as she said, “Julian, you knew that Pete had invested in the Connolly family’s business. You knew about the downfall of the Connolly family’s business too, am I right? Now, the Doherty family’s business is suffering from some financial rolling issues. Yesterday night, we asked Alexandra to come home so that she could discuss this matter with you and seek your help, of course. However, Alexandra insisted that you will never lend the money to us. Hence, Pete and I questioned her if she had done. something wrong in the Ranford family. That was why she had no right to voice out anything.”
Margot’s words were so mean!
