Chapter 282


    The call was from Joey.


    "Mike said he used to have a malignant tumor in his brain, and when it got really bad, he''d pass out. In


    the end, Dr. Mitchel performed surgery to remove it." Joey said.


    "He still didn''t say why he wanted to partner with Violette?"


    "He did. He said he likes drones, and Violette had the system developed by ke. After perfecting


    ke''s system, he was very satisfied, so he partnered with Violette to start apany."


    The answer was rigorous andplete.


    After hanging up, Elijah headed to the dining room.


    Though he really disliked Alexa, he needed Sarah Warren''s help now, so he couldn''t embarrass her.


    As he entered the dining room, Sarah Warren immediately came up to him and exined, "Elijah, I''m


    sorry. This is my first time meeting her. I didn''t know she was Violette''s stepmother. I don''t usually have


    much contact with my dad, and he didn''t tell me beforehand."


    After hearing her exnation, Elijah walked to the table and took a seat.


    "Hello, Mr. Warren," he greeted Sarah Warren''s father.


    As for Alexa, he treated her as if she were air.


    "Hello, Elijah," Mr. Warren smiled awkwardly. "I''m sorry, I didn''t talk much with Alexa about her past, so


    I''m not quite clear about what happened between you two."


    "It''s fine. Violette and I are already divorced," Elijah said lightly.


    Seeing that Elijah had a problem with her, Alexa thought for a moment and spoke up, "Elijah, I''m sorry


    for what happened in the past. I apologized to Violette over the phone. I offered topensate her with


    10 billion, but she wasn''t willing."


    Elijah nced at Alexa.


    Sarah Warren was surprised, "You have that much money?"


    She didn''t expect Alexa to have that much money.


    "I don''t have that much cash on hand, but I can mortgage mypany to get a loan for that amount to


    show my sincerity," Alexa said regretfully. "I hope to reconcile with Violette. But it''s not going smoothly."


    Seeing Elijah''s serious face, Sarah said, "let''s not talk about this."


    "Alright, I won''t say anything," Alexa closed her mouth tactfully.


    ...


    After the dinner, Elijah was even more determined to get rid of Sarah Warren.


    If Violette found out that Alexa was now Sarah Warren''s father''s new girlfriend and might be


    Sarah Warren''s stepmother in the future, she would definitely never contact him again.


    At this moment, Maka suddenly came over and hugged him.


    Feeling his sister''s dependence, Elijah''s heart clenched.


    Although her intelligence had improvedpared to before, she still couldn''t take care of herself.


    Soon, her second treatment would begin.


    He was really looking forward to her second treatment.

    But meeting Alexa tonight made him feel sick.


    As long as he and Sarah Warren maintained a nominal rtionship, he and Alexa might have more


    dinner parties.


    "Maka, do you like Dr. Sarah?" Elijah took his sister''s hand and sat down on the sofa together.


    Maka pursed her lips, her bright eyes staring at Elijah''s face.


    She didn''t like Sarah Warren, but she knew Sarah Warren was her brother''s girlfriend.


    "What about you?" Maka had learned to ask back.


    Elijah shook his head and then exined, "I need her to treat you. Maka, she can cure your illness."


    Hearing him say he doesn''t like Sarah Warren, Maka bravely said, "Violette can treat me too!"


    Elijah frowned.


    He realized that things weren''t that simple.


    "Maka, has Violette treated you before?"


    Maka pursed her lips and nodded.


    Elijah held her shoulders, his deep eyes looking at her, and asked, "When did she treat you? Was it


    when you got lost before?"


    When Maka wasn''t lost, she always had a nanny and surveince.


    He knew Maka''s every move, every day.


    So it was easy to infer that Maka met Violette after she went missing.
