Chapter 231 

Asher glanced at Daphne. He did not know what she wanted to do, but he stopped the car. 

Elara and Natalie were standing together. They were chatting, so they did not get into the car immediately. 

Asher’s car stopped. Daphne rolled down the window and looked at the two of them. She asked, “Elara, Miss Jarvis, do you want a ride?” 

Her attitude seemed very friendly. 

Natalie said, “Are we very close? Who wants you to give us a ride? Get lost.” 

Daphne froze for a moment. Then, she looked at Elara politely. “Elara, what about you?” 

“No need.” Elara looked at the two of them and said, “We have legs.” 

Daphne said, “By the way, Elara, I’m getting married to Asher. Will you come?” 

Elara said, “Why would I go?” 

“Asher said that he has always treated Mr. Kensington as his father. He hopes that when the time comes, Mr. Kensington will be able to attend our wedding. Of course, he also hopes that you can come along.” 

Asher sat in the driver’s seat and sized up Elara. 

Elara stood there and said to Daphne, “I’d better not go. It’s my dad’s business whether he wants to go or not. I don’t want you to think I’m snatching Asher away.” 

‘Who knows if she will accuse me later? It’ll be hilarious if she says I seduced Asher, Elara thought. 

Daphne said, “Elara, I’m not that kind of person. Don’t think of me that way. I still remember you helping me and treating me to a meal. I’ve always been grateful to you. I only invited you because I wanted to treat you as a friend.” 

Elara said, “No need. I’ll take that meal as feeding the dog. You don’t have to take it to heart.” 

Hearing that, Daphne’s mouth twitched. ‘Elara was scolding me, 

Fortunately, she was “magnanimous” and did not argue with Elara. She said, “When I was not doing well, you were still quite can’t good to me. I’m doing well now. I only want to share it with my closest friend. You’ll make me misunderstand that you bear to see me doing well.” 

“You know I can’t bear to see you doing well, yet you’re still showing off?” Elara was too lazy to beat around the bush with her. 

In any case, she did not intend to show Asher and Daphne any respect. 

Daphne heard her words and smiled. She was not angry. 

She thought, ‘Elara had never wanted me and Asher to have a good life. Now that we are living so well, Elara must be angry. I can understand that.’ 

She told Elara, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t come. By the way, when are you and Lysander getting married? You’ve registered your marriage for so long. Aren’t you going to hold a wedding?” 

Natalie rolled her eyes at Daphne. “You’re being a busybody. What does it have to do with you whether she gets married or not? I know you’re getting married, okay?”

Asher said, “Alright, let’s go hack. Don’t talk to them anymore.” 

He knew that they didn’t like Daphne. 

He also did not like Daphne interacting with them. 

He drove away. 

After the car left, Daphne looked at Asher. “Are you unhappy?” 

“Why did you say so much to them?” Asher asked.

“When we get married, I want to invite some friends over. I want to ask Elara if she wants to come along. Anyway, we were all friends in the past.” 

“She won’t come,” Asher said, “And… Can’t you see how much she hates you?” 

Daphne sighed. “She treated me quite well before, but now, she doesn’t anymore. I realized she will hate me as long as I’m with you. Do you think she still has feelings for you?”

“You’re thinking much.” Asher was clear–minded now. “If she had feelings for me, she wouldn’t have looked so annoyed every time she saw me.” 

He hoped that Elara would have some feelings for him. 

However, after experiencing so many things, he no longer had such fantasies. 

Daphne said, “That’s not necessarily true. It was before. Now that our company is doing so well, who knows if she will change her mind? Everyone likes the strong. 

“Although she’s married to Lysander, how much money can Lysander earn from being a soldier? Asher, I think we will become richer in the future. At least, we will be richer than Lysander.” 

Asher did not reply. 

He was also satisfied with his current ability. 

Asher believed he would be wealthier than the Kensington family if he continued his career and nothing went wrong.

Natalie said to Elara, “Look at Daphne. Is she showing off in front of you on purpose? Get Lysander to hold the wedding with you. Otherwise, she’ll make it seem like we can’t afford the wedding.” 

“Why do you care about her?” Elara said, “If we take her seriously we lose.” 

“When are you and Lysander getting married?” Natalie asked. 

“Soon,” Elara said. 

“Soon? I wonder when you’ll see him.” Just as Natalie finished speaking, Elara’s phone rang. 

It was Ursa’s voice on the phone. “Elara, Mr. Hawthorne is back. He’s asking where you are.” 

“Just tell him I’m working outside. I’ll be right back,” 

“Okay, okay,” Ursa replied. 

Elara said to Natalie, “My husband is back. I have to go now. Bye

Chapter 231 

As she spoke, she quickly opened the car door and got in. 

“Hey.” Natalie looked at her speechlessly. “You forgot about me the moment your husband returned. It’s too much…” 

Seeing that Elara had left, Natalie also got into the car. 

The driver parked the car at the entrance, and Elara got out. She sent a message and soon, Ursa came out. 

When she saw Elara, she said, “Elara, you’re back?” 

“What’s Lysander doing?” Elara asked. 

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have drunk. 

She realized that every time she drank, he would come back and catch her red–handed. 

Ursa said, “I don’t know. He should be asleep. He hasn’t come down for a long time.” 

“That’s good…” Elara was slightly relieved. 

She went upstairs and opened the bedroom door surreptitiously. She didn’t turn on the lights. She tried to slip in but bumped into someone’s arms. 

“You’re back?” The room was very dark, and Lysander’s voice was filled with oppression and masculine hormones. 

Elara said, “You’re back? Why didn’t you turn on the lights?” 

“Have you been drinking?” Lysander smelled alcohol. 

Elara said, “No…” 

“Lying?” Lysander reached out and wrapped her in his arms. “You’re secretly drinking while I’m not around again, aren’t you?” 

“Who told you not to be home?” Elara said, “Can’t I just have a drink?” 

“Who did you drink with?” Lysander asked. 

“Let me turn on the lights first,” Elara said. She walked out of his arms and was about to turn on the lights. 

In the end, her foot hit the cabinet… 

She screamed in pain. 

Lysander turned on the lights and saw her holding her foot, saying, “It hurts so much.” 

Lysander saw this scene and quickly squatted down. He looked at her knee and massaged it for her. 

Elara sat on the ground and looked at Lysander “It’s all your fault 

“What did I do?” Lysander looked at her. “I didn’t ask you to knock into it. Who asked you not to turn on the lights when you entered?” 

“You didn’t turn on the lights when you were in the room. I thought you were sleeping. I was afraid of waking you up,” said Elara. 

“Are you sure it’s not because you’re guilty?” Lysander stared at her meaningfully when he saw how self–assured she was.
