SWNOVELS Chapter 66
Chapter 66
Marco felt unhappy if he didn’t say it out loud. “It’s good that you know this. Mrs.. Ranford will know more about your relationship. She should listen to you more in the future.”
“She will listen to me? Didn’t you see her stick her neck out and argue with me time and time again?”
“No, Mr. Ranford. The Mrs. Ranford will be very obedient in the future. Because now she knows you’re the boss, and she’s nothing”
Julian felt weird when he heard that.
“Just drive!”
Alexandra tidied herself up in the hospital and did not continue with the checkup.
Alexandra took a taxi home, showered, and changed her clothes. Then, she prepared to go to school.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Josephine, who smiled at her kindly when she saw her, coming out of her room.
Alexandra felt sorry for not fulfilling her promise to give her a massage, so she took the initiative to explain, “Grams, I’m sorry, I had something on last night and couldn’t give you a massage. I’ll give you one tonight….”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. The two of you should have some alone time…”
“Grams, it’s not
Josephine smiled and held her hand. “Did Julian take you to his house? That’s true. After all, you just got married. It must be a little awkward for you
to live with us.”
Oh, so apart from Ranford Mansion, Julian had another house outside.
However, it was not strange. He was so rich. There must be more than one property of his outside!
Alexandra did not say much. “Grams, I’ll go to school first. I’ll be back early in the afternoon to keep you company.”
“Let the driver take you.”
“No need, Grams!”
As soon as Alexandra returned to school, she went to Colin to explain.
However, Colin was very nice to her. He didn’t blame her for the delay and told her that Carson had stepped in to present the award.
Since that was the case, Alexandra did not feel guilty.
She walked toward the classroom. As the wind blew, she thought about what had happened after she lay in the cabinet yesterday. She quickly fell asleep and was woken up by the sound of the piano. The suffocating feeling of fear came again.
She had no idea how she ended up in the hospital.
As she walked, Martha, Kelly, and the others walked over. Alexandra instinctively hated them when she saw them, but she didn’t want to get into a conflict with them. She pretended not to see them and wanted to walk around them.
She felt that she shouldn’t cause trouble anymore. Because she was working for Julian now. As an employee, she couldn’t cause trouble for her boss.
Julian hated her enough.
However, Martha would not give up just like that.
She blocked Alexandra’s path and said, “Why are you hiding? Aren’t you quite capable? You even fell asleep when performing a magic trick. Alexandra, you should see how pitiful William’s look was when he saw he almost failed! You didn’t even show up at the award ceremony in the end. Who do you think you are?”
Alexandra was not angry. She said, “Are you done? If you’re done, I’m going to class.”
With that, she left.
She did not know why she was not angry at all.
It was probably because… even Julian looked down on her. He didn’t even give her a phone number and treated her as a partner to work with him. Then it was not strange that Martha looked down on her.
Her calm reaction made Martha feel humiliated.
She grabbed Alexandra’s arm, and Alexandra instinctively dodged. Martha’s nails scratched Alexandra’s forearm, leaving two bright red blood marks.
It was so painful.
But she didn’t care. She turned around and left.
Martha was enraged when she saw that Alexandra did not say a word. She went up to stop Alexandra again.
She raised her voice and said in a sharp and ear–piercing voice, “What do you have to be proud of? What? Do you think you’re so great just because
Chapter 56
William invited you to perform a magic trick? Let me tell you, William is mine! If I see you entangled with him again, I don’t know what I’ll do to you!”
Alexandra’s heart was as calm as ever. She said, “I see.”
Martha was speechless.
She felt as if all her fists had been punched into the air.
Why was Alexandra acting so strangely today?
At this moment, William, who was passing on his way to the department office, noticed them. His first instinct was that Alexandra was about to be bullied by them again.
He quickly ran up and first noticed the red scratches on Alexandra’s arm, then he said to Martha, “Martha, what did you do again?”
Martha looked at the adulterous couple with a sneer. “Sure enough, the favored are fearless. Have you forgotten who almost messed up the magic trick at last night’s welcoming party? If she hadn’t messed it up, you might have been able to surpass Kelly and win the first prize!”
At the mention of how the magic trick last night almost failed, a trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed across William’s heart. After all, he had invited Alexandra to work with him. Just based on their reputation and tacit cooperation, they would definitely win the first prize. Unfortunately….
Upon hearing this, Alexandra felt a little guilty.
William glanced at Alexandra, who was looking down in silence. He thought Alexandra might be feeling guilty, so he said to Martha, “It doesn’t matter to me whether I win the first prize or not. Ms. Connolly, please don’t find trouble with Alex again in the future! We’re not in your league.
Martha glared at Alexandra. “You choose your own league. If you want to be in our league, there are plenty of ways!”
William smiled. “I still want to be in the league I like.”
“Let’s see if the league you chose is good.”
Alexandra turned around and left. She was really not in the mood to listen to the two of them shouting
She had yet to recover, and she had been feeling very disappointed.
William glanced at Alexandra’s back. He should have helped her out, right?
He stopped arguing with Martha and went to the department head’s office first.
After the two of them left, Kelly said to Martha, “Why can’t you give up? Look how much William spoils Alexandra!”
Kelly had actually reaped the benefits of the welcoming party. It was good that Alexandra did not present the award. Even she did not expect that the award presenter would be Carson!
When Carson handed the certificate to her, she clearly remembered how excited her heart was!
If she won the first prize, Carson would have a deep impression of her, right?
Martha thought about the trouble she had gone through last night. However, Alexandra was actually unharmed. It did not affect William’s feelings for her and did not embarrass her in front of the entire school. In the end, Carson saved her!
She clenched her fists tightly. The more she thought about it, the more hatred she felt.
She said to Kelly, “Looks like I have to use my ultimate move in the future!”
As usual, there were no classes on Friday afternoon. Alexandra was bored and tired at school, so she went home as soon as school ended.
She was sleepy and wanted to rest.
Josephine had been kind to her these days anyway, and Caroline hadn’t come back yet, so she wasn’t afraid to go home that much.
Back home, Josephine was in the courtyard with Ms. Rivera, fiddling with the flowers and plants in the open–air greenhouse.
After greeting them, Alexandra returned to the bedroom.
When she got to the bedroom, she wanted to go to bed, but for some reason, she didn’t think she should sleep in his bed.
How could the employee sleep on the bed while the boss slept on the sofa?
Hence, Alexandra took out the bedsheets and blanket from the cabinet and rested on the sofa.
At around six in the evening. Julian saw Alexandra sleeping on the sola as soon as he entered the house
