Maysun was speechless. It took her a few seconds before she gasped in disbelief. "You! Alex Poole! Don’t you forget that all the glory and status for your entire Poole family was granted by my Kemp family! Without us, the Kemp family, your Poole family is nothing!"
Alex smiled calmly. "Sure!"
"Sure? What do you mean?" Maysun asked.
"If your Kemp family no longer wanted your honor, status, and the title for being the topmost noble family in the country, I can make you lose all of it in a jiffy! Miss Kemp, you have gotten used to being pampered, s o there are a few things that you may not know! If I, Alex Poole, had not helped your Kemp family maintain peace from the country to the frontier and then from the frontier to abroad, your Kemp family may have already ended up as beggars a long time ago!" Alez snapped. "Therefore, your Kemp family can put on airs for being a noble family, but don't do that i n front of me. Besides, when I was abroad to help your family, it was Sebastian who saved my life! Maysun Kemp, don't you dare come between Sabrina's marriage!"
At that moment, Alex really did not have the mind to continue talking nonsense with Maysun there. Alex knew Sebastian's temper very well. Sebastian was not a person who would get angry easily. However,
Sebastian was someone who could subdue everyone once he had made a decision. It was a critical period for Sebastian at that moment. On one end, there was the funeral for Old Master Ford, and on the other end, h e had to think of a way to rescue Sabrina. However, of course, the main priority was to rescue Sabrina.
Alex had actually been feeling very guilty for the matter of Aino and Sabrina being abducted by Holden. To put it bluntly, Alex had forced all of the political matters that he had to handle onto Sebastian because he had put all of his energy on his wife and son. On top of that, it so happened that Sebastian was also busy with Zayn's matters at the same time. It was because of that that Holden managed to exploit the opportunity. If it was during the usual times, Sebastian would always be keeping watch of Sabrina and Aino, so how could any of that have happened?
Since the incident had already happened, then Alex would rescue Sabrina even if he had to go through the fire. Alex absolutely would not allow anybody to think of stealing Sebastian away from her. If anyone dared t o fish in troubled water, then Alex would end them one by one. There was no exception, even for the little princess from the Kemp family.
Alex looked at Maysun with a cold and fierce gaze. However, he did not expect that someone would tug o n the corner of his shirt. "Uncle Poole, you're so fierce."
Alex looked at Aino in disbelief. "Aino..."
I'm helping your mother! You say that I'm fierce? Are
you serious?'
Aino nodded her head seriously. "Uncle Poole, you're really very fierce today."
Alex was completely befuddled.
"Uncle Poole, you've misunderstood Miss Maysun. She is my dad's friend. She is also my friend. My dad has been very lonely recently. I am the one who asked Miss Maysun to take care of my dad. Otherwise, during this period when my mom is not around, my dad will get sick and have depression," Aino continued.
There was a catch in the throat as the little girl spoke. She began to tear up.
"It was Miss Maysun who was willing to help me and my dad."
Alex was speechless. From his perception, Aino was absolutely not such a silly little girl. Would she actually ask another woman to take care of her father when her mother is not home? Ha! Even Alex almost laughed from being amused. As someone as observant as Alex, he did not even need a second to sense that the little girl had some thought up mischievous ideas again to prank on others.
Before Alex could say anything else, Maysun spoke u p. In a very unpleasant and aggrieved tone, she said," Alex Poole! You’re too full of yourself!"
