Chapter 239

Elizabeth figured Rose must have seen Alexander taking Esme to the press conference. She felt bad for dragging the Percy family into this mess. Alexander really crossed the line this time, totally ignoring the Percy family. Elizabeth pursed her lips and glanced at Rose, who was cleaning and muttering, โ€œWhy wonโ€™t it come clean?โ€ Elizabeth knew there was more to Roseโ€™s words.

Rose waved her hand. โ€œGo wash up. Weโ€™re having dinner together. Charles is back today, too.โ€

Elizabeth blinked. Charles is back?

She went inside and saw Charles playing chess with Declan. They seemed to be having a blast.

โ€œUncle!โ€ Elizabeth called out.

Charles looked up. โ€œElizabeth, come over here!โ€

โ€œUncle, when I was in the hospital, you didnโ€™t even visit! Iโ€™m mad at you!โ€ Elizabeth complained, but still sat next to him.

Declan smiled. Elizabeth was always close to Charles! Once she saw Charles, she ignored Declan!

โ€œDidnโ€™t I hear you were discharged and brought barbecue right away?โ€ Charles tapped her head.

Elizabeth blinked. โ€œWeโ€™re having barbecue tonight?โ€

โ€œYep, just waiting for you. Dinnerโ€™s about to start!โ€ Charles laughed.

Elizabeth nodded. โ€œAlright, Uncle, you do care about me.โ€

Charles said, โ€œWhen have I ever not cared about you?โ€

Elizabeth washed her hands, grabbed an apple, and sat down. โ€œLila mentioned an entertainment industry party in Lisbon soon. Are you going?โ€

โ€œYeah, you coming?โ€ Charles asked, still playing chess.

โ€œIs it fun?โ€ Elizabeth asked, munching on the apple.

โ€œLots of handsome guys,โ€ Charles grinned.

Elizabeth was about to decline.

โ€œGive her an invite. Let her have some fun!โ€ Declan suggested.

Charles snapped his fingers. โ€œExactly what I was thinking.โ€

Chapter 239

โ€œA boring power party, whatโ€™s the point?โ€ Elizabeth got up to check the barbecue.

Charles said, โ€œFor us, itโ€™s a power party. For newcomers, itโ€™s a chance to network and get good resources. More connections, fewer enemies, right?โ€

Elizabeth couldnโ€™t argue with that.

โ€œYouโ€™re right.โ€ She nodded and went to check the barbecue.

Charles laughed. โ€œElizabethโ€™s always been carefree! Declan, sheโ€™s nothing like you.โ€

โ€œIf sheโ€™s not like me, who is she like? Sheโ€™s my daughter!โ€ Declan snorted.

Charles chuckled, โ€œYes, your biological daughter!โ€ He emphasized โ€œbiological daughter,โ€ clearly amused.

Declan coughed, looking annoyed. He leaned closer to Charles. โ€œDonโ€™t joke about this at home. We donโ€™t want Elizabeth to know!โ€

โ€œGot it.โ€ Charles placed the last chess piece and changed the subject. โ€œI lost. Iโ€™m going to find Elizabeth!โ€ He headed to the limack yard.

Declan watched him, uneasy. If this ever gets out, itโ€™ll be Charles who spills the beans! How did he find out back then?!
