Chapter 439

Chapter 439 He Won’t, But I Will

Alexander zoned out and stared at the screen for a while before Elise snatched the phone over to pick up the call. She had just placed the phone against her ear when she heard Madeline’s stern tone on the other end of the call. “I know you’re willing to do anything for that woman you like, Alexander, but we are your parents—we were the ones who brought you up!

If you refuse to stay by our sides and repay our sacrifices, you should at least stop causing trouble for us! You think of Elise as some perfect angel, but has she ever cared for you? Everyone in Tissote knows that you’re my son. Whatever you guys did to Maya… Have you ever considered how that would impact your father and me?

You abandoned everyone in the Griffith Family for your own selfish reasons, and you’re enjoying your life out there. Yet, you’re making us pay for your stubborn behavior. I’ve wasted more than 20 years of my life caring for you, Alexander. Do you think I deserve to be placed in this situation?!”

Madeline’s voice was piercing—it hurt Elise’s eardrums just to listen to the woman. “Are you done?” Elise’s calm voice sounded while Madeline paused to take a breath.

“Why are you the one answering the phone?” Madeline froze for a moment before she continued speaking in a sarcastic voice. “I sure taught my son well! Now, he’s even ignoring his mother for the sake of some woman!”

“You’re right. You did a good job teaching your son. But if you’re not impressed with whatever he’s doing, then why are you calling him now?” Elise asked flatly. “I know why. Deep down, you know that Alexander will never bring himself to be cruel to you guys—that’s why you’re not afraid to confront him in such a harsh tone. You know that I’m the one who did those things to Maya, but you’re too afraid to question me, right?

That’s because you know that Alexander’s the only one who will give in to your bad temper. You wish to control his whole life, and you proceed to hurt him whenever he tries to rebel against you. He might not be a good son, but do you think you’re a good mother? Do you think speaking in grandiose terms makes you right? You claim that your actions are for his own good, but the truth is that you’re doing all of this just to satisfy your sick and terrifying need for control!”
