Chapter 59: Chapter 59: What Are You Here For?

Meanwhile, another car that had been closely following the first one came to a stop.
The doors opened, and two handsome men stepped out. Upon seeing each other, they both displayed looks of disdain.
Jack was completely taken aback upon seeing Alexander and Peter. He couldn’t fathom why they were at his doorstep.
Linda instinctively glanced at Elizabeth, her eyebrows deeply furrowed. Alexander and Peter exchanged glances and simultaneously asked one another,
“What are you here for?”
The atmosphere became oddly tense for a moment.
Elizabeth’s deep, dark eyes glanced first at Alexander, then at Peter, revealing a hint of confusion.
“Elizabeth, I’m here to pick you up for school,” Emily called out cheerfully, rolling down her window.
She had previously made plans with Elizabeth to go to school together. Alexander turned to Elizabeth and said, “Get in the car.”
Peter, not to be outdone, chimed in, “I’ll drive you to school. Come with me.”
“She already had plans with my sister to go to school together, so it seems she doesn’t need you,” Alexander remarked with a sneer.
Peter retorted calmly, “That’s easy. Your sister can come with me too.” Emily felt unjustly caught in the crossfire.
The two influential figures sized each other up, suspicion filling their eyes.
Alexander suspected Peter of having ulterior motives, trying to woo the young girl.
Peter, on the other hand, thought Alexander was shameless. He actually wanted to be with Elizabeth.
Jack was utterly confused. Why was this scene unfolding on his doorstep?
Why would the bosses of two super corporations, instead of working in the early morning, be fighting over driving Elizabeth to school?
He could understand Elizabeth knew Alexander and Emily because of coming home with them last time.
But where did Peter come into the picture?
Was it from the day of the adulthood ceremony?
For a moment, Jack suspected that Elizabeth had intentionally gotten close to Peter. After all, someone like Peter wouldn’t just approach anyone.
Jack felt uneasy in his heart. Elizabeth was his sister, and it wasn’t their place to intervene. So he firmly said, “Elizabeth, let’s go. We’re going to be late.” Elizabeth didn’t respond, leaving Jack even more upset.
Elizabeth merely shot a piercing look with her clear, contrasting eyes at Peter.
Peter hurriedly explained, “It’s not your first day at school. As a… friend, I should at least drive you once.”
Professor Lawrence embarking on her first day deserved special attention.
Alexander lazily commented, “So, Emily and I aren’t your friends, are we? Are you going with two friends or just one?” Peter thought, “Schemer!”
Jack’s face was a mask of displeasure.
Friends?
He believed neither Peter nor Alexander had pure intentions. These two dominant figures in the business world simply wanted to be friends with Elizabeth. Was that so?
No matter their intentions, Jack resolved to tell Elizabeth to keep her distance from them.
The scene was almost comical. Three incredibly good-looking men, all standing stiffly on a doorstep, arguing about who would drive Elizabeth to school.
Linda could barely contain her laughter, her eyes full of envy.
She couldn’t understand. What was so special about Elizabeth that everyone seemed to fancy her so much?
As for what Linda desired, Elizabeth didn’t even spare a glance.
With a mere gesture, a taxi miraculously stopped at the doorstep.
Jack was puzzled. How did a taxi get inside this private estate?
Elizabeth opened the car door and said calmly, “I’ll be going now.”
Peter and Alexander were left speechless..
