Chapter 880
Alexander looked at Leon and Ellen with troubled expressions. It was obvious from Alexander’s look that he was asking them to leave. Leon and Ellen were not ordinary people; how could they not understand Alexander’s intention? But for the sake of the Russell family and Esme, they really had no choice but to hold onto Alexander. Today, Mexander still let them into his house, but tomorrow they might not be able to see him again. Moreover, Leon had already exposed the Russell family’s secret, yet Alexander remained unmoved. How could he bear that?
Leon was sweating on his forehead. He suddenly knelt on the ground, his head hitting the floor, and cried, “Mr. Tudor, I beg you.” Elizabeth felt even worse seeing this scene. In her impression, Leon and Henry were honest and straightforward people. Only Esme and Ellen were the most annoying. What did Leon do wrong to kneel before Alexander, a junior, at his age of over fifty? Esme, you really let down such loving parents and your brother. Esme really didn’t deserve the Russell family’s kindness! Elizabeth felt a tightness in her chest, almost unable to breathe. She pointed outside, “I’ll wait for you outside.” Alexander nodded. Elizabeth went out.
Alexander then looked at Leon and said calmly, “Mr. Russell, sparing Esme’s life is already my biggest concession. Don’t push me.” Hearing this, Leon immediately raised his head. His forehead was red, and he asked tremblingly, “I’m pushing you?” Ellen also caught the implication in Alexander’s words and immediately asked, “Mr. Tudor, what do you mean by that? Do you… you keep pushing me, you might not see Esme again,” Alexander coldly reminded. Ellen didn’t dare to speak for a moment. Alexander said, “Please leave. I’m very busy.” Tears fell from Leon’s eyes, and his arms on the ground kept trembling.
No wonder Henry couldn’t do anything.

Fine, Alexander. You’re really heartless, Leon slowly stood up, but because he stood up too quickly, his body swayed, almost falling. Ellen tightly grabbed Leon’s arm, looking at him without saying a word, just crying continuously. Leon no longer begged. He tightly held Ellen’s hand and was about to leave with her. Ellen cried and asked, “Not begging him anymore?” “What’s the point? His heart is like stone. Even if we kneel forever, what good would it do?” “Give up. You don’t have a daughter anymore. Just consider your daughter dead!” Although Leon was scolding Ellen, his eyes were on Alexander. He was saying it for Alexander to hear. Ellen shook her head. Leon forcibly pulled Ellen away.
At the door, they met Elizabeth. For some reason, Elizabeth didn’t dare to look at them. She turned her head, but heard Leon say, “Ms. Percy, the Russell family owes you in this life. In the next life, the Russell family will repay your…” Elizabeth froze. When Elizabeth turned her head, Leon was already pushing Ellen into the car. Ellen kept crying, her hands on the window, looking at Elizabeth with a dazed expression. Elizabeth had a feeling that Ellen was sick. Ellen no longer had her previous strength and sharpness; now she seemed more like a child. Elizabeth thought it must be a relapse of an old illness. As the car drove away, Elizabeth’s heart didn’t feel any relief but became even heavier.
The door closed. Elizabeth saw Alexander coming out from inside. His brows were tightly furrowed. He must have felt very unlucky, being disturbed by these two people trying and begging early in the morning. He was dressed in casual clothes, a black turtleneck sweater, black pants, and had a coat draped over his arm.
