Chapter 164
When Orson heard Lysander’s words, a smile appeared on his face. “Lysander, don’t blame me for being nasty. I just don’t want to see you being deceived by her. A woman like her is not worthy of you at all.
“In the past, she had taken in Asher and lived in his house for a few years. Who didn’t know about this? There are so many women in this world. Why do you have to choose her as your wife?”
After saying that, he glanced at Asher and said, “Tell me, did Elara pester you before?”
Elara’s gaze landed on Asher who stood there, well–dressed.
Last time he even reminded her that the Swift family had come to look for him. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he had become Orson’s accomplice.
She had just registered her marriage with Lysander, so was he here to step on her? Did he also want to ruin her relationship with Lysander?
Elara said, “Asher, are you trying to slander me again?” Asher and Elara looked at each other. He did not answer immediately.
Wyatt said, “Invite them to rest first.” He called someone over to take Orson and Asher away, not wanting Orson to keep causing trouble.
However, Orson continued, “Wyatt, what are you worried about? Are you afraid of hearing bad things from him and making Lysander lose face? Lysander is a man. Even if he hears something, he can face it. If you chase me away now, won’t you be confirming my words?”
After saying that, Orson glanced at Asher. “Tell them! She’s with another man for the sake of wealth and glory. Do you still want to save her face? She’s Mr. Blue–Blooded’s wife now.”
Orson looked for Asher because he knew the relationship between Elara and Asher. If these words reached other people’s ears, they wouldn’t know what they would say.
Even if the Hawthorne family didn’t do anything to Elara, this joke would continue to follow Elara in the future. He did not believe that Elara would not care about such rumors.
Lysander didn’t respect him and refused to marry Juan. He had to retaliate against Lysander.
Barrett stood at the side and said to Orson, “You’re trying to ruin my daughter’s reputation today. You’re vicious.” He pointed at Orson, his hands trembling.
Elara quickly supported him. “Dad.” She took out a quick–acting heart–relieving pill from her father’s pocket and fed it to him, letting him hold it in his mouth.
Barrett was not in good health. Elara was afraid that he would be angry.
Orson looked at Asher and said angrily, “Tell them!”
Everyone was looking at Asher. He said, “Mr. Swift, you’re mistaken. I’m just ordinary friends with Elara. When my father was a driver in the Kensington family, Mr. Kensington provided me with financial support. In return, I helped Elara with
tuition. That was all.
“I heard that Elara and Lysander have registered their marriage came over to congratulate them. I didn’t mean anything
else.”
“What did you say?” Seeing that Asher was speaking up for Elara Orson’s face darkened, “Asher, do you know what you’re talking about?”

Asher took a step back and looked at Orson in surprise. “Do you have other intentions for taking me here? If Lysander took your words seriously, he might think that I have something to do with Miss Kensington!”
“You…” Orson looked at Asher angrily and his face darkened.
Asher said, “Although I wish it were as you say, I have a connection with Miss Kensington, but with my background, she doesn’t like me. So, Mr. Swift, I can’t let my conscience allow me to cooperate with you in ruining her reputation.”
When Asher said this, the others heaved a sigh of relief. Felicity was also afraid that Asher would say something at this time. Wyatt looked at Orson. “I think you drank too much!” He called someone over and took Orson away.
Asher’s gaze landed on Elara. Elara stood beside her father. She was worried about her father’s health.
She was originally worried that Asher would say something that would anger his father. Fortunately, Asher could still distinguish the occasion.
Because Barrett wasn’t feeling well, Elara sent him to the hospital immediately.
Asher said, “I’ll go with you!” After saying that, he took the initiative to come over and support Barrett.
Recalling what he had just said, in order not to expose his persona, no one said anything. Asher helped Barrett out of the door. Elara followed behind.
Lysander followed beside her. “Elara.”
Elara turned around and looked at him. “Go greet the guests! I’ll send my father over. I’ll be back soon.”
Lysander said, “I’ll accompany you.”
Elara glanced at Lysander and nodded. They went to the hospital together.
The doctor examined Barrett.
Barrett was in the ward. Elara sat at the side and looked at Barrett. “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I was so close to Asher in the past. That’s why these things happened today.”
Barrett looked at her. “It’s not your fault. It’s just that I’ve always felt that it’s good that you married Lysander. Why do I suddenly realize that I seem to have harmed you?”
She used to like Asher. Barrett was the one who insisted on her being with Lysander. However, the Hawthorne family’s conditions were not something they could reach.
Although they didn’t do anything, the people around them would always look down on them. This was the reality.
Elara said, “No, getting married is my choice. What happened today has nothing to do with the Hawthorne family.” No one had expected Orson to do this.
At this moment, Asher walked in and said to Barrett, “Mr. Kensington.”
Barrett said, “Thank you for what you said in front of everyone today.” Under those circumstances, Barrett was already very grateful for what Asher said.
Asher said, “Barrett, what are you talking about? You’ve helped my father and me so much previously. I can’t be such an ungrateful person.”
After saying that, he turned to Elara, “Harold and Natalie are here. Go out and take a look! I’ll take care of Mr. Kensington here. He looked very considerate.

Elara stood up and looked at him. “What are you planning?” Although Asher had indeed helped her, his plan was not that simple.
Asher said, “Do you think that 1 shouldn’t help you? Will you only be satisfied if I follow others to harm you?”
Elara walked out of the door when she saw him pretending to be stupid and trying to gain her father’s favor.
Harold was already here. He was standing in front of Lysande, facing him.

Harold’s words were polite, but they were filled with thorns. “I told you Elara shouldn’t have married you. You should have married a woman of equal social status. How can the Kensington family be worthy of the Hawthorne family.”
Lysander looked at Harold. “Try saying that again.”
