After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 64

In the past, everyone had doubts about Elara's identity and a mysterious admiration for Asher, thinking that no matter how much of a noble young lady Elara was, she didn't deserve him.

But now, Jefferson's words truly made Asher embarrasse. No one could have imagined that Asher's father was so greedy, almost eager for Asher to live off a woman.

Elara didn't hold back either, responding. "Mr. Blackwood, everyone at our school knows that Asher's girlfriend is Daphne. If you speak like this, they won't be happy." If Elara didn't clarify, people might actually think she was planning to be with Asher.

Thomas and Nora glanced at their daughter upon hearing this. Daphne bit her lip and stared at Elara, realizing that she was doing this on purpose.

Barrett took the opportunity to say to Jefferson, "Hey, the kids have made their choices, so let's not interfere with their

matters."

But Jefferson wasn't ready to give up. "This has to be a misunderstanding. Besides, Elara really likes Asher. There's no way Asher would be with some random woman.'

After finishing his sentence, Jefferson deliberately cast a disdainful glance at Daphne. The random woman he mentioned was clearly referring to Daphne.

The Wagner family didn't seem to be doing well financially, and all Jefferson wanted was for his son to marry a wealthy woman and change his own fate

He had no desire to be involved with the Wagner family, Jefferson intentionally made his words sound more unpleasant. Thomas looked at Jefferson. "What do you mean by that? Who's a random woman?" I'm talking about your daughter. What about it?" Jefferson retorted

"You!" Thomas took a step forward and grabbed Jefferson by the sleeve of his jacket Jefferson met his glare defiantly. "What? You want to hit me? Go ahead and hit me."

Jefferson stood there with a smirk, playing the part of a provocateur.

Thomas, being just an ordinary man, was so enraged by his words that he nearly lost his composure. Rather than argue further, Thomas released his grip.

"Jefferson," Barrett finally interjected, unable to let the scene continue any longer.

Jefferson looked at Barrett and said, "Mr. Kensington, there's no way Asher is marrying their daughter. Asher only likes Elara. You can be sure of that."

Barrett replied. "That young lady is perfectly fine. You shouldn't speak of her like that. Apologize to them

Seeing Barrett's stern expression, Jefferson, not daring to offend him, said, "Mr. Kensington... I... I'm sorry." He grudgingly turned and muttered a half-hearted apology to the Wagner family.

The bystanders watching the scene couldn't help but feel touched.

"Mr. Kensington is so kind, standing up for Daphne."
