Chapter 1752

Alyssa split another one and placed it in front of her, “Have one more, with cream cheese”

Elizabeth peeled a hard–boiled egg and handed it to her, “Don’t forget your protein”

The maid who came to report stood there her expression somewhat peculiar. She had long known that Presley had a bad temper, even the mere mention of him by the household staff made them pale And all the recent events had had some pretty adverse effects on the Harper family and Damon Now that Presley had come storming over in person, how can they remain so calm?

“Madam, are you not intending to go out and greet him?“c2

Alyssa frowned. What’s he to me that I should go out and greet him? This isn’t his Harper Mansion and he’s certainly not welcome here. He can go back to wherever he came from Her icy voice, laced with anger, echoed with a force that was impossible to ignore.

Just as the old man, who had been escorted into the living room by the maid, heard this, his already sour expression darkened further

The maid flinched, trembling as she said. “But that’s Mr. Presley”

“Even if it were the king himself, he wouldn’t be more important than my granddaughter–in–law’s breakfast if he can wait, let him wait. if he can’t, tell him to I don’t have to put up with his unpleasantness ‘

The maid nearly collapsed in fright at Alyssa’s words in her mind. Alyssa had always been gentle and elegant, always amiable to Elizabeth and Chloe She could never have imagined that Alyssa would say something so fierce

Chloe chewing on her bagel was also taken aback by Alyssa’s outburst. After all these years, how had she and Presley managed to live together in harmony? She had always thought her grandma was a kind and loving person Well, the women of the Harper family weren’t to be trifled with

“Careful Have some juice Elizabeth’s soft voice rang out, reminding Chloe

Chloe obeyed, sipping her juice obediently

The more Elizabeth saw of Chloe, the more she liked her When she had first met Chloe, Chloe had seemed somewhat lost, but it was clear she was usually a quiet distant sort of person in fact outside of the house, Chloe was still the formidable businesswoman. But who could have guessed that such a cold, stern woman could be so soft and sweet at home?

“My daughter–in–law is so polite and beautiful What good deeds did that brat do in his past life to deserve you?”

Alyssa scoffed “It was all thanks to me Without me, they might never have crossed path And you wouldn’t have such an outstanding daughter–in–law, and you wouldn’t be about to become a grandma”

Elizabeth chuckled “Right, night. Thank you for playing matchmaker for Damon and Chloe. When your great–grandsons are born, we’ll make sure the first word they leam is great–grandma

Presley, looking sullen in the living room, twitched at Elizabeth’s words. He glanced towards the kitchen, then slowly and quietly moved closer leaning on his cane The nearby maid just glanced at him, puzzled

Elizabeth’s words, however, made Alyssa chuckle. She raised a hand like a schoolgirl and declared. “I want to pick the names for my great–grandchildren
