I Fell in Love with my Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 541 - チャプター 550

Elena reached the piano and sat down in front of it, but she didn’t begin playing immediately.A cunning glint appeared in Alice’s eyes.“I knew it. There’s no way this woman knows how to play. She grew up in the countryside. She probably never even came close to a piano.”Alice exchanged a meaningful glance with her friends, signaling them to start provoking Elena.One of them deliberately spoke loudly.“Miss Wright, why aren’t you playing? Could it be that you don’t know how?”Another added mockingly,“Oh my God, if you didn’t know how to play, you should have said so from the beginning. Why pretend and come all the way onto the stage?”The atmosphere in the hall changed, and looks of doubt and ridicule began appearing on the guests’ faces.“This Miss Wright... despite Mr. Wright doting on her, perhaps she enjoys drawing attention to herself a little too much.”“If she really doesn’t know how to play, why make such a spectacle?”Alice stepped in, pretending to defend Elena.“I’m sor

She understood perfectly well that although Beckett seemed to favor her, he also wanted her and Alice to get along.A little friction from time to time was fine, but if things happened too often, Beckett might not always take her side.So, Elena thought it was better not to make Beckett resent her before she became strong enough to rely entirely on herself.Beckett didn’t pursue the matter any further.“I’m just happy to see the two of you getting along. The party is almost over. The driver is waiting at the entrance. If you’re bored, go home together.”“All right.”They answered at the same time and nodded.Beckett then returned to mingling with the guests, clearly not yet ready to call it a night.The moment Beckett walked away, Alice’s expression changed.“Don’t think that just because you didn’t expose me, I’ll accept you. Never.”Alice knew that from the moment Elena had entered the Wright family, she had come to take everything away from her.That was why she would never accept

Adrian knew that Alice belonged to the Wright family, but their relationship had never gone beyond superficial encounters at social events.Ignoring Alice, Adrian resumed his conversation with Elena.“Looks like the party is almost over. Would you allow me to take you home?”Elena hesitated for a moment and scanned the hall with her eyes, hoping to see Asher.But she couldn’t find him anywhere.She nodded.“Of course. I’d appreciate that.”Although a Wright family car was waiting outside for her, she saw no reason to refuse Adrian’s offer, especially since she knew him well.When Alice heard their conversation, she couldn’t hide her jealousy.But she concealed it behind a smile.“Mr. Collins, I was thinking of going home as well.”Her eyes remained fixed insistently on Adrian.Fortunately for Elena, she had never considered Alice a sister in the first place. Otherwise, she would have felt extremely awkward in this situation.Adrian asked coldly, without any genuine intention of offeri

When Asher saw that he was surrounded by bodyguards, he frowned.“What do you want?”Alice sneered, clearly amused by his question.“What do I want?”She stepped forward and stopped directly in front of him, raising her chin as she looked him over.“Weren’t you acting so tough before? Threatening me and saying you wouldn’t show me any mercy? I thought you were someone not to be underestimated.”Before investigating his background, she had assumed he might belong to one of the mysterious elite families.She knew almost all the heirs of the major families in Brighton City, and Asher was a complete stranger to her.But she had nearly burst out laughing when she discovered the truth.He was nothing more than an influential figure with limited power in Silverton city, yet he acted as though he ruled the entire world.He had come to a place filled with powerful people like Brighton City and still dared to show off and act arrogantly.He was simply a fool who had no idea how dangerous his si

But did Beckett need Asher’s gestures of respect?Of course not.Whether in the modest Silverton city or the vast Brighton City, Beckett was accustomed to commanding the respect of others.After one of the bodyguards managed to move Alice to safety, Beckett finally spoke.“Asher, it’s fine to act arrogantly, but you need to be able to back up your words with actions.”His face remained expressionless, but his words were cold as ice.“Know your limits. Don’t go around causing trouble everywhere.”Asher raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed.“Are you saying you’re going to take action against me, Mr. Wright?”He glanced at Beckett’s bodyguards. There were twice as many of them as the guards Alice had brought, and every one of them looked strong and intimidating.Beckett said,“Overwhelming someone with numbers isn’t my style.”Asher remained silent, knowing Beckett still had more to say.“Let’s settle this one-on-one. Alice is my daughter, after all. Don’t push a father to his limits. I
