Brothers want me back novel

Chapter 81 Elaine simply raised an eyebrow when she saw Finleys fury bubbling up , responding in a cool , detached tone , Finley , the more you stoop to insult me and Kingsley like this , the more it looks like youre just bitter unable to have me , so you want to tear me down .

Finley clenched his lips, his self esteem crushed under Elaines casual words .

Elaines right , a voice cut through the tension .

Kingsley had somehow silently approached them .

He stepped forward , taking Elaine by the arm , pulling her close in a protective stance as he faced Finley squarely .

Mr.

Scott , its time you face the truth .

Elaine has chosen me now .

Its over between you two .

You should respect her decision and move on with dignity .

Youre only embarrassing yourself by lingering here , disturbing my fiancée .

As her fiancé , I have every right and ability to protect her .

Do you agree ? Elaine stood behind Kingsley , her eyes fixed on his broad shoulders and back , a sensation of being defended washing over her .

Her throat tightened as she fought the urge to sniffle .

But she had to admit this was the most Kingsley had spoken in one go .

And every word , sharp as a blade , crushed Finleys pride further into the ground .

Honestly , Finley didnt even understand why he kept trying to hold on to Elaine .

He had never cared that much for her before .

Maybe it was just his possessive nature , clawing its way to the surface .

Taking a deep breath , he finally muttered , Kingsley , I was out of line .

Kingsley didnt even spare him a glance , simply turning to Elaine .

Elaine , lets go .

Alright .

As the perfect couple walked off , Finley stood beneath the tree , his fists clenching inside his sleeves , the anger still simmering in his chest .

Just then , Bianca appeared by his side .

Mr.

Scott ? Her soft , sultry voice broke his frustrated thoughts .

Upon seeing Bianca , Finleys stiff features softened .

He couldnt help it he had always felt a certain tenderness toward her .

She was his first love , after all .

A gentle , considerate woman , unlike Elaine , who was fierce and independent .

Biancas softness had always drawn him in .

But now , he was engaged to Elaine .

The inner conflict was unbearable .

He couldnt let go of Biancas warmth , but he also couldnt dismiss the things Elaine had done for him .

The struggle , the indecision it seemed he had somehow ended up by Biancas side .

Bianca , what are you doing here ? I came to comfort you , of course , Bianca replied , a knowing glint in her eye as she looked toward Elaine and Kingsley leaving , as if pondering something .

I was just in the living room .

Kingsley mentioned their engagement .

Its practically a done deal now .

But I think you should warn Elaine not to marry into the Morgan family .

She leaned in a little , her voice soft but laced with meaning , Finley glanced sideways at Bianca , surprised .

Why ? Bianca chuckled lightly , shaking her head .

You must be worried that Elaine marrying into the Morgan family might not end well .

She doesnt have the skills to hold her ground in a family like theirs , and even with me by her side , I doubt I could help her make it work , Biancas version of Tracys words was more delicate , but the core message was the same .

Tracy had initially been thrilled about Kingsley , but now she saw potential issues .

Bianca would eventually join the family as the young , rich wife having someone like Elaine in the way could only hold her back .

Kingsley was a little too new to be considered true high society .

The Morgan family had risen quickly , but they werent exactly a longstanding institution .

The Morgan family isnt exactly an established old money dynasty like the Scott family , Finley remarked with a hint of disdain .

Theyve only just started making their mark , and they wont ever meet the standards of the real upper crust .

Though he was wary of Kingsley , Finley wasnt overly intimidated by him .

The Morgan family was nothing more than a wealthier version of a nouveau riche family .

The Scott family , on the other hand , had been rooted in Boynton for years , with ties to Lento City .

If you were comparing families , the Scott family was the real deal the true aristocracy .

Bianca , hearing this , visibly relaxed .

The Morgan family might not be as prestigious as it seemed .

But she still felt that Elaine had made a huge mistake .

Elaine will regret giving up on a man like you , Mr.

Scott .

A man like you deserves the best woman .

You shouldnt waste your energy over Elaine .

Her smile was almost too perfect , the kind of smile that made every man feel like they were the center of her universe .

She was beautiful , kind , and seemingly understanding .

Finley , caught up in her sweetness , felt a sense of relief .

Looking at her now , old memories flooded back , feelings of affection from their past blossoming anew .

His voice softened , Bianca , you dont need to be so formal with me .

You used to call me Finley .

Now , youve gone back to calling me Mr.

Scott .

Did I do something to upset you ? Of course not , Bianca replied with a shake of her head .

But back then , we were to be future family .

I had to maintain some decorum for the sake of others .

Finleys heart melted again .

She was still the same gentle , kind , and understanding .

He had once thought Bianca was manipulative , but now , seeing her this way , he realized he had been wrong .

If Bianca were to speak ill of Elaine now , he would be disgusted .

Meanwhile , in the living room , Tracy , Harlan , and Tucker waited , the tension palpable .

Finally , Elaine and Kingsley returned .

Elaine , Harlan greeted her , still concerned that Finley hadnt returned .

Is Mr.

Scott alright ? Kingsley stepped in front of Elaine , answering smoothly , Mr.

Scotts situation has been handled .

Good , Harlan said , nodding , before suddenly remembering something .

Elaine , I got you something .

He handed her a gift , his nervousness showing .

It was his first gift for Elaine , and he wasnt sure how shed react .

But Elaine didnt take it .

Tucker , seeing the gift , sneered but said nothing .

Tucker glanced at the gift box and let out a cold laugh , saying nothing .

Earlier , Tucker had claimed that Elaine wouldnt accept the gift , but deep down , Harlan wasnt so sure .

He knew that any gift from him , Harlan , would be accepted by Elaine without question .

He knew her too well she couldnt bear to hurt him , to disappoint him .

But , in the end , things didnt go as he hoped .

Elaine didnt accept his gift .

Harlan , did he really think everything was still the same as before ? Did he really believe that nothing had changed between them ? It was impossible .
