Chapter 378 Not Cruel Enough,Coolest Girl in Town
Now that Robin’s condition had stabilized, Joshua sauntered into the house and began to look around eagerly. “You heard what
Mom said, didn’t you, Dad? She said my wife and I are to remain in the family home. I’m going to need to know where the bank
passbooks and cards are so that I can pay for Mom’s expenses; it’s not as if you’re fit enough to deal with those now.”
“You useless ingrate! I knew you’d never change for the better. You’ll get your hands on the money over my dead body. Get out
of my house now!” Robin thundered, his eyes wide with fury. Joshua, however, paid no mind to the old man’s anger as he said
indifferently, “I’m not leaving until I fulfill my duties as a son.
Besides, you don’t speak on behalf of the rest of the family, so whatever you say isn’t final!” Meanwhile, Elise crouched in front of
Robin with her head down, but there was no hiding the murderous rage that radiated off her. Alexander had kept his gaze on her
from the beginning and he instantly sensed her hostility toward Joshua. He quietly walked up to Joshua with a frown and said,
“Mr. Sinclair, I don’t think it’s appropriate that you stay here for the time being. Why don’t you come with me and I’ll arrange for
more suitable accommodations?”
“No, thanks,” Joshua rejected drily. “Why would I stay someplace else when I have a home?” With that, he reached for a nearby
chair and sat down decisively. A dark gleam flashed in Alexander’s eyes and he no longer put up a courteous front as he asked
coldly, “Are you sure you don’t want to take me up on my offer, Mr. Sinclair?” An indignant Joshua glared at him before he closed
his eyes and shook his head firmly. “I will not hear of it.” The Griffiths might be powerful, but even they could not interfere with
private family matters. There was nothing wrong with Joshua staying in his family home and taking care of his father, and not
even the police could challenge that. I don’t have to be afraid of anything!
“Well, that’s too bad then,” Alexander drawled. Without another word, he whipped out his phone and made a call before he
instructed flatly when the other line answered, “Cameron, bring a couple of men over. Also, have someone clean up my
downtown commercial duplex, the one that has been left unused.” “W-What do you think you’re doing? Are you going to drag me
out of here by force? Watch it, Alexander—the society is under the rule of law and what you’re about to do is illegal!” Joshua
snapped, looking nervous as he jabbed an accusing finger in Alexander’s direction.
Alexander merely ignored him as he kept his phone, thereafter crossing over to Elise and Robin. “I’ll help you up to your room.
You need to rest.” As a matter of decency, Robin was better off not seeing what would happen next. That being said, Alexander
was also, by implication, asking for the old man’s permission. Robin was Joshua’s father, after all, and he had every right to stop
Alexander from throwing Joshua out of the house. Robin was a man who had experienced lots in life and it didn’t take him long
to hear the subtext in Alexander’s words.

After a moment of hesitation, he glanced over at Elise, and at last reached out to allow Alexander to help him up. The old man
deliberately staggered in the process and she hurried to hold his other arm, steadying him. Presently, he clutched both their
hands tightly and said wearily, “I’m getting old. I don’t have the luxury of being bothered by what goes on in this household. I
leave it to both of you to call the shots.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll stay right by Elise’s side,” Alexander promised solemnly. Robin nodded and allowed the matter to rest. Upon
seeing this exchange, Joshua cried out, “Dad, you can’t just turn a blind eye to this! At least—” He wanted to rush up to them
and plead his case, but when he caught the dark and dangerous look Alexander threw at him, he froze in place.
Suddenly afraid, he dared not move a muscle. He could only stand still as he watched the three figures retreat toward the
backyard and when he shook off his fear belatedly, he could hardly believe that he had allowed some young punk to intimidate
him. No, if I want to get what rightfully belongs to me, then I’ll have to be cruel, or this guy will screw everything up for me!
