She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Making a Move Will Only Get You Beaten Up

As soon as Alexander entered the Knox Family home, his brows furrowed tightly.

The ’fainted’ old lady was sitting comfortably on the living room sofa, seemingly waiting for him.

Alexander’s face was filled with displeasure as he suddenly realized that the old lady had joined forces with Wyatt Lewis to lead him away with a trick.

"Grandma."

Alexander’s voice was much grimmer than usual.

"Come sit." The old lady’s voice was also less loving than usual.

Alexander still walked over and bent down to sit across from the old lady.

His thin lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were pitch black.

"I didn’t expect that grandma would team up with outsiders to manipulate your grandson."

Old Lady Mrs. Knox fixed her gaze on him, "This isn’t manipulation. I’m helping you correct your mistake. You shouldn’t treat Aria like that."

"She wronged me first. I just wanted her to clear her mind. What did I do wrong?"

Old Lady Mrs. Knox shook her head, "I’ve said it, Aria is not that kind of person. You should trust her. Besides, she was also manipulated by your mother and Lily Armstrong. Why are you blaming her?"

"Mom and Lily Armstrong were wrong, but doesn’t Aria and Wyatt Lewis share the blame?" Alexander couldn’t forget the scene of that night.

Everything in that room, once remembered, felt like a thorn in his heart.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox looked at Alexander’s icy eyes, her words stuck.

She didn’t know what he had seen to make him so angry, but no matter what, forcefully taking someone away and restricting her freedom was wrong.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox said, "Even if both of them were wrong, I won’t allow you to do anything to hurt Aria further. Since you’re already at odds, continuing is meaningless. Aria wants to call off the engagement, and you’ll agree to it, won’t you?" noveldrama

Alexander was still upset about the old lady’s deceit by collaborating with outsiders, so he couldn’t listen to what she was saying.

"If the engagement is called off, the dowry will be returned. Grandma, do you want to see me being mocked by others?"

The old lady looked at him and kindly advised, "If two people are unsuitable for each other, isn’t it normal to separate? You shouldn’t burden yourself with such heavy thoughts."

Alexander lowered his eyes, his deep emotions hard to decipher.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "I understand. If you’re not feeling well, please rest. I have things to attend to and need to leave now."

Alexander stood up, ready to leave.

The old lady called out to him, "Alexander, can’t you sit with grandma a little longer? She’s not finished talking."

Alexander’s voice was low, "Whatever you have to say, let’s talk after I handle my business and come back."

"Alexander!"

"Alexander!"

Old Lady Mrs. Knox called out to him twice, but Alexander did not turn back, leaving directly.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox was so angry that her head hurt in waves, and she weakly leaned against the armrest to support her head.

The servant quickly came over to soothe her, "Are you alright, madam? Please don’t get angry with the young master; take care of your health."

The old lady weakly waved her hand, tears shimmering in her eyes, "When you grow old, you’re not as useful. No one listens to you anymore. Quick... call Little Hope immediately. Alexander is surely going to stop them; don’t let him make another mistake."

"Yes, don’t worry, I’ll call right away."

...

Returning to the Emperor Capital, Aria breathed a sigh of relief.

She had finally come back.

But as soon as they got off the plane and took a few steps, they were immediately surrounded by people.

Wyatt furrowed his brows, instinctively reaching out to protect Aria behind him, his eyes narrowing dangerously at the man whose back was facing them.

Aria’s heart skipped a beat.

That tall, sturdy silhouette was too familiar to her. Who else could it be but Alexander Knox.

Alexander turned around, his long, narrow brows tightly furrowed, his slightly squinted eyes emitting a piercing coldness.

"Come here."

He said to Aria coldly.

Aria didn’t move, her eyes filled with vigilance, "What more do you want?"

Alexander raised an eyebrow, "I don’t want much. My demands are simple. I just want you to behave and stay by my side to complete the engagement party, but why must you get involved with him?"

Wyatt’s expression was as dark as a storm, "She’s not going back with you, so give up on that."

Alexander coldly looked at Wyatt, his eyes filled with even more hostility, "The person beside you is my fiancée; do you have the right to say that?"

"Mr. Knox, regardless of whether Wyatt has the right to say that, do you have the right to imprison your fiancée?"

A clear, indifferent voice came from behind.

Alexander’s expression subtly changed.

Soon after, the sound of chaotic but strong footsteps approached, and a well-trained team instantly encircled them.

"Hope Williams?"

Alexander furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping over Hope and then to the carefree silver-haired Liam Cloud standing next to her.

Liam smirked playfully, his deep eyes holding a trace of amusement, "Others don’t want to marry you, yet you force them. Is it fun to make things difficult? Are you unable to find a wife? Do you want me to introduce some to you?"

Alexander’s expression darkened further, "Make things difficult? Hmph, so what? It’s none of your business."

Alexander’s gaze turned to Hope, who was dressed in a beige, thin coat, her presence cold and aloof.

"Hope, this is our personal matter. Must you interfere?"

Hope had her hands in her coat pockets and said calmly, "I’m sorry, Mr. Knox. I’m a bit biased. Aria is my best friend, and Wyatt calls me sister-in-law. I can’t help but get involved in their affairs."

Alexander slightly pulled at his lips, the coldness in his eyes almost freezing.

But this had no effect on Hope and Liam.

Liam turned slightly, whistling at the duo, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Wyatt held Aria’s hand, ready to leave. Alexander’s eyes moved slightly, and his bodyguards immediately attempted to stop them.

Hope remained still, and from behind her, Nolan, Luca Stone, Peak, and others quickly stepped forward. With a few swift moves, they instantly took down those who tried to obstruct them.

Seeing this, Alexander’s face grew extremely unpleased.

Hope raised her eyebrows slightly, her clear and steady voice saying, "Mr. Knox, I believe with Lewis Family’s bodyguards and Liam’s people, yours can’t beat us. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s best if you understand your limitations."

Liam’s lips curled slightly, standing still, his followers having already blocked all of Alexander’s remaining people.

In terms of manpower, the people Hope and Liam brought were enough to overwhelm Alexander’s.

The confrontation between the two sides clearly showed one side at a disadvantage.

Anyone with eyes could see it.

Even though Alexander’s bodyguards didn’t retreat, they surely felt somewhat uneasy inside.

The Lewis Family can’t be provoked, and neither can Liam Cloud.

If it came to blows, they would only end up beaten.
