Chapter 914
Although she had already decided to wait, Celine was still on edge and impatient. She had not experienced this level of rage in a while.
Just as her irritability was about to take over, her phone rang. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she saw the caller ID. "Alex!"
"I heard that you're at my house, Aunt Celine," Alexander said coldly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could prepare?"
"What do you have to prepare for? I'm your aunt! I was just passing by, so I decided to drop by and visit you," she said with a smile.
"Well, how unfortunate that you came when I'm not home," he replied. "Why don't you head home, Aunt Celine? I'll pay you a visit when I'm
free."
’It's fine. Even if you're not home, your wife is!" After a pause, she hesitantly added, 'Alex, your wife seems a little arrogant, though. I’ve rang
the bell twice, yet no one has opened the gate for me. I've just been waiting outside.
"Still, I know young people are more careful these days, especially after being in the news recently. It's

me."
"Really? Didn't one of my maids tell you that my wife hasn't been feeling well and spends most of her
time in bed? Did you not hear her, or did you not understand?"
Celine was trying to make Lily look bad for neglecting the elders. However, the tables were turned and
Alexander blamed her for misinterpreting what the maid had said.
"Oh? If that's the case, I'd have to take a look. My niece-in-law’s health is no small matter. Should I take
her to the hospital?" Celine glanced at the entrance. This was an excellent excuse!
After getting out of the car, she walked toward the gate and said, "You men are always too carefree.
Her feeling ill could be because of something serious. I'd better take her to the hospital. I'll call you and
let you know if something is wrong."
"It's fine, Aunt Celine. I've already had a doctor look at her. "She'll be fine as long as she gets enough
rest and no loafers bother her," he skillfully dismissed her suggestion.
Celine's face immediately fell when she heard that. "Alex, what do you mean? Are you calling me a
loafer?’
"I hope not." Although that was exactly what he meant, he did not want to say it out loud.
However, she did not pick up on the backhanded reply and was delighted by what she heard.
Then, she spoke again in a kinder manner, 'Exactly. I'm just here to check on her. Besides, even the
ugliest wife would still have to meet her in-laws. If she doesn't meet me today, she'd have to see me,
eventually. Well, let me go in there and give her some tips. Then, by the time she meets Grandma,
she'll pass the test with flying colors.’
'The only test my wife needs to pass is mine."

"Alexander! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can run from the Russell family? You're still a Russell, no matter what, and you still
have to go through the elders before you do anything!"
Ì am only a Russell because of my father. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen to be one. Aunt Celine, you're overstepping," he said
lightly.
Celine almost choked at the sound of his words. 'Alex, if your dad knows how you're treating us, he'd be very disappointed."
'Even if he is, I'm always open to listening to what he has to say. However, I'd only listen if it came from his mouth, not someone else's.
Otherwise, how would I know if it's being correctly passed along?"
"All right, enough. We'll talk about it when you're back."
Upon saying that, she hung up the phone. She couldn't be bothered to bicker with him on the phone any longer. She wanted to take this
opportunity to intimidate Lily, seeing that he was still away.
