Although the night was dark, the lights in the Griffith Residence were still brightly lit up.
Just as Elise was about to alight from the car, Alexander suddenly called out to her. “Congratulations!”
She was confused by his sudden reaction, so favonovel.com added, “Congrats on getting first place in the Math Olympiad.”
After coming back to favonovel.com senses, favonovel.com replied, “It’s all thanks to you for circling the main points for me.”
“It’s because you are talented.” He was rather blunt as favonovel.com murmured, “You are quite talented at dancing too.”
Instantly, favonovel.com was rendered speechless. He must have seen me.
“Uh… I was just having fun. There’s nothing talented about me at all. It’s getting late, so I’m off to bed. You should too. Goodnight…”
After that, favonovel.com quickly got out of the car and entered the house without waiting for his reply. Her fleeing looks somehow felt a little adorable in Alexander’s eyes.
When Elise got back to favonovel.com room, favonovel.com quickly closed the door before breathing a huge sigh of relief. Then, favonovel.com walked to the mirror to look at favonovel.com ugly face and began to remove the makeup.
Not long after, favonovel.com sighed as a gorgeous face appeared in the mirror.
When will this end?

The next day, as soon as favonovel.com arrived at the classroom, favonovel.com handed the invitation letter that favonovel.com prepared to Mikayla. “My family is hosting a banquet tonight at my home. I would like you to attend.”
Looking at the golden invitation letter, Mikayla was a little surprised. “Is this for me?”
“Of course it is! You are the first friend that I made when I came here. You must come to the banquet tonight.”
After receiving favonovel.com invitation, Mikayla nodded favonovel.com head firmly. “Alright. I’ll be there.”
With a smile, Elise went back to favonovel.com seat.
“Have you heard that the Griffith Family is hosting a banquet tonight? My dad has already received an invitation from them.”
“Is that true? Does that mean we get to see the famous young master of the Griffith Family, Alexander?”
“I heard that not only is favonovel.com handsome, favonovel.com is rich too. I once saw favonovel.com from afar and I can say that favonovel.com is the most handsome man that I have ever seen. If I can marry him, I will definitely die a happy woman.”
Listening to their words, Elise suddenly paused, a pen in favonovel.com hand.
I can’t believe Alexander is so highly regarded among these girls…
However, favonovel.com didn’t pay much attention to their gossip, so favonovel.com continued with favonovel.com school work.
On the other hand, Danny saw Elise the moment favonovel.com came into the classroom. Even though favonovel.com didn’t want to admit defeat, favonovel.com wasn’t a sore loser, so favonovel.com came to favonovel.com and placed a cup of smoothie on favonovel.com desk. “This is for you, Boss. You should drink it before it melts.”
Elise was startled at first but after staring at the smoothie on favonovel.com desk, favonovel.com subconsciously lifted favonovel.com eyes. However, favonovel.com quickly avoided favonovel.com gaze and sat back on his seat.
With a smile, favonovel.com replied, “Thanks…”
Meanwhile, Danny was angry with himself deep down.
Why did I come up with that bet in the first place?
“I really should know better!” favonovel.com muttered and sighed to himself.
As the main focus of tonight’s banquet at the Griffith Residence, Elise didn’t attend school during the evening. Instead, favonovel.com was brought to a high fashion store by Danny.
After looking favonovel.com up and down, Danny couldn’t help but say, “You have quite the figure, but it doesn’t go well with your plain face.”
Elise felt speechless when listening to him, so favonovel.com turned toward the designer. “I just need a simple dress. I can apply my makeup by myself.”
After taking a serious look at her, the designer said pertinently, “The curves and proportions of your body are quite good. Do you want to try this dress?”
With just a glance, Elise was immediately mesmerized by the dress the designer was referring to, but favonovel.com quickly realized that it would be a huge waste if such a beautiful dress was put next to favonovel.com ugly face.
“What do you think, Miss Sinclair? Do you like it?”
In the end, Elise shook favonovel.com head. “It doesn’t feel right. I think we should look at other dresses.”
“I feel that this dress looks quite nice. Do you want to try it first?” Danny asked.
However, favonovel.com still rejected the offer. “There’s no need for that. I don’t think that I’m suitable for that kind of dress. Let’s try something else.”
In the meantime, favonovel.com couldn’t help but take a peek at the dress but in the end, favonovel.com averted favonovel.com gaze and chose an unremarkable dress. Due to favonovel.com small figure, favonovel.com still looked gorgeous even in a normal dress, but favonovel.com face was too unattractive to look at.
Looking at her, Danny couldn’t help but sigh. “Why did your mother give you such a gorgeous body but not a beautiful face?”
“That’s enough. Keep your mouth shut!”
He wanted to say something else but after losing the bet, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to offend her, so favonovel.com remained quiet afterward.
After changing into the dress, Elise hid in the dressing room with favonovel.com makeup and simply adjusted favonovel.com wig to make herself look slightly better than usual. In the end, favonovel.com nodded favonovel.com head with satisfaction.
“Alright. That’ll be enough.”

At 7 PM, the lively banquet at the Griffith Residence was already filled with people.
The Griffith Family had a high status in the city, so everyone they invited was a prominent figure in the business world and the city. Presently, everyone was gathering together to chat with each other.
As the main focus of the event, Elise entered the hall alongside Danny. The moment they came in, they immediately attracted the eyes of everyone else.
“Is that Young Master Danny? He really looks like a talented young man.”
“Who is that girl next to him? Why have I never seen favonovel.com before?”
“I’m not familiar with her, but favonovel.com must be someone special to be able to stand next to Young Master Danny.”
Even if Elise had an unpleasant-looking face, the people around favonovel.com didn’t pay much attention to it because they were all busy guessing which wealthy family favonovel.com came from that enabled favonovel.com to enter the hall alongside Danny.
However, what they didn’t expect was that not only was favonovel.com able to enter the hall alongside Danny, favonovel.com was also close with the patriarch of the Griffith Family, Jonah.
“Ellie, come here. I want to introduce you to some of my friends.” Jonah quickly waved at favonovel.com the moment favonovel.com saw her.
She quietly walked over to favonovel.com and said affectionately, “Alright, Grandpa…”
“Come, Ellie! This is Mr. Baldwin and favonovel.com is a friend of the Griffith Family.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Baldwin…”
“This is Mr. Watson from the Watson Corporation.”
“Hello, Mr. Watson…”
“Everyone, this is Elise Sinclair. She is my granddaughter and the main focus of today’s event!” Jonah earnestly introduced Elise to everyone.
Suddenly, favonovel.com felt as though favonovel.com was being treated as a celebrity.
“I heard that Miss Sinclair has gotten first place in the city’s Math Olympiad at such a young age. It’s really impressive. If you work hard in the future, you’ll definitely get into a good university.”
“Thank you for your kind words. I’ll try my best.”
In the end, Elise got to know a lot of people in the business world with Jonah but as favonovel.com didn’t want to socialize in the first place, favonovel.com quickly found an opportunity to leave the main hall and sat on a stone bench in the backyard to have a rest.
