Lily snorted and snapped, “You’ve lost your mind!”
Alexander frowned, clearly angry too. “Grandma, can you stop meddling in our business?”
“When it comes to the Tudor family’s reputation, I have to step in!” Lily shot back.
They were at a standstill on stage. Lily’s stance left Alexander deeply frustrated.

Lily turned to the audience and said, “Thanks for your concern about Alexander and Elizabeth. Let me clarify: they are not divorced. Regarding Alexander and Ms. Russell, let me be clear: Alexander’s concern for Esme is purely brotherly, nothing romantic.” She glanced at Esme in the crowd.
Esme bit her lip, fists clenched. ‘Brotherly concern? What does Lily mean?‘
“Ms. Russell, if you like being Alexander’s sister so much, why not become the godchild of the Tudor family?” This shut down Esme’s hopes of marrying into the Tudor family.
The audience erupted.
Alexander’s face darkened. “Grandma!” he called out.

Alexander’s face was grim as he left the hotel and got into the car.
In the car, the mood was tense.
Alexander leaned back, pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache.
Grandma, you showing up like this embarrasses both the Tudor and Russell families, Alexander said hoarsely.
Lily was serious. You and Elizabeth aren’t divorced, and you bring me to a press conference? What are you thinking? Even if you don’t care about Elizabeth, what about the Percy family?” she asked

Chapter 237
Alexander was worried about embarrassing the Tudor and Russell families but forgot about the Percy family.
*I’ll handle the saffron issue. But Alexander, you can’t see Esme anymore!” Lily insisted.
Alexander looked at her as she got out of the car.
Lily turned back and said, “If you keep seeing Esme, don’t blame me for making sure you never see her again!”
Alexander clenched his fists. “Grandma!”
“You know what I can do!” Lily warned.
Alexander’s face was grim.
