Alexander escorted Elise into the car before favonovel.com instructed the driver to immediately drive off. Meanwhile, favonovel.com glanced at their closely intertwined fingers and instinctively tried to withdraw favonovel.com hand.
While the car slowly departed, neither of them said a word. There was a somber vibe that enveloped them, which continued until the car pulled into the driveway of the Griffith Residence.
She finally broke the silence and said, “Thanks for standing up for me earlier. Just let me know if you need my help for any company matters in the future.”
If favonovel.com loses this collaboration because of me, then I have to compensate favonovel.com for his loss.
However, it never crossed Alexander’s mind to turn to a woman for help, so favonovel.com rejected favonovel.com outright.
“You should go home,” was what favonovel.com replied instead.
She was aware that favonovel.com needed to maintain his pride and it was also a male’s basic dignity to resist, so favonovel.com didn’t say another word. Rather, favonovel.com turned around to enter the house.
Elise still didn’t feel at ease with things after favonovel.com entered the house, so favonovel.com gave Jamie a call. “Hey, Jamie. If you notice that the Griffith Group is in need of some help, be sure to lend them a hand, but do it secretly so that no one realizes that you are helping them.”
Upon hearing favonovel.com words, a stunned Jamie gaped. “Boss, do you have a wrong impression of Alexander? He’s well-known to be a formidable opponent in the corporate world. How else do you think the Griffith Group was able to maintain its position as the leading company in town? He doesn’t need any help from small flies like us. You should stop worrying, Boss. It’s just a minor contract that’s nothing to Griffith Group. It won’t result in any significant loss for them.”
She was finally rest assured when favonovel.com heard his words.
That’s right. Alexander’s such a formidable person so obviously, favonovel.com wouldn’t care too much about this minor contract…
Nonetheless, favonovel.com was determined not to allow Eureka Corporation to get away with this lightly. However, before favonovel.com could even mention anything, favonovel.com had already made his move.
“He messed with the wrong person! He’s going to pay for that,” Jamie said as his fingers whizzed furiously on the keyboard.
Shortly after that, favonovel.com came up with a list containing the details of all the Eureka Corporation’s business partners and thereafter sent the information to the company’s opponents.
How dare they mess with Elise! I’m definitely going to make their life a living hell.

“Miss Sinclair, it’s time to wake up. I’ve prepared breakfast for you.” The servant woke Elise up at the exact time.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com stretched while favonovel.com eyes remained half-opened. “Okay, sure. I’ll come downstairs in a short while.”
Despite favonovel.com words, favonovel.com curled into another comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep once again. She was wide awake most of the night as favonovel.com couldn’t seem to shake off Mr. Ford’s sleazy expression from favonovel.com mind.
After tossing and turning for hours, favonovel.com finally managed to sleep for the rest of the night, but it didn’t last long as favonovel.com had to wake up earlier for school.
Elise shuffled around and took favonovel.com time to get out of bed. After favonovel.com freshened up and applied some light makeup, favonovel.com wore favonovel.com custom-made wig and made favonovel.com way downstairs.
At that moment, favonovel.com noticed that Matthew was already seated at the dining table as favonovel.com slowly savored his breakfast. “Good morning.”
She greeted favonovel.com and received a grunt in reply.
Then, favonovel.com responded, “Good morning…”
After that, favonovel.com took a seat at the dining table and asked, “Are you the one sending me to school today?”
“Yup.” Matthew placed his cutleries aside while favonovel.com spoke and lifted his wrist to check the time. “You have five more minutes. I’ll wait for you by the door.”
Then, favonovel.com rose to his full height and headed toward the door after saying that. Meanwhile, Elise hastily took a few large bites of favonovel.com toast and grabbed a bottle of milk before favonovel.com scrambled after him.
While favonovel.com waited in the car and held an iPad in his hand, favonovel.com dealt with some work related matters. He was someone with a different personality to Danny, who always behaved in a rather impulsive manner as an immature second-generation wealthy kid. On the other hand, Matthew was calm and steady in all his endeavors while being a generally quiet person who didn’t have much to say. Each time favonovel.com sent favonovel.com to school, favonovel.com would only converse with favonovel.com whenever necessary and favonovel.com basically didn’t interact much with her.
The moment Elise arrived at school and entered the classroom, favonovel.com ran into Danny holding a basketball and about to walk out.
Their gazes met and although favonovel.com was unwilling to do so, favonovel.com dutifully greeted, “Good morning, boss…”
The boys standing behind favonovel.com watched their exchange in shock.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com maintained favonovel.com composure and replied, “Good morning!”
One of the boys behind Danny came forward and whispered to Danny, “Danny, is there something wrong? Why did you just address that ugly wretch as Boss?”
In response, Danny threw the basketball in his hands toward the boy. “Who are you calling ugly?! That’s my boss there. From now on, keep this in mind, you’re not allowed to bully favonovel.com and if anyone contradicts this, that means you’re intentionally provoking me!”
All of the boys stared at favonovel.com dumbfoundedly, but none of them said a single word. After all, anyone who dared to cross Danny’s path was basically digging their own grave.
“Don’t worry, Danny. You just have to say the word and we’ll definitely keep it in mind. We won’t act rashly.”
It was only at that moment when Danny’s expression softened slightly. Although favonovel.com was quite reluctant to acknowledge Elise as his boss, favonovel.com had lost the bet, so a true man would definitely honor his part of the deal. Since favonovel.com had already agreed that favonovel.com was his boss, then it was non-negotiable.
“Let’s go. Let’s shoot some hoops.” The group then headed off toward the basketball court and ignored the chime of a bell that signaled the start of classes.
Meanwhile, Elise walked into the classroom and sat at favonovel.com spot. Soon after that, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com textbook to do some revision.
At this moment, Mikayla inched closer and handed some snacks to Elise that she’d brought from home. “Here you go, Elise. This is for you. These are my favorite crackers.”
Elise took the snack from Mikayla while replying, “Thanks…”
Subsequently, Mikayla conveniently took a seat by Elise’s side and glanced at their surroundings. Mikayla then whispered, “I heard from my family members that Jasmine’s family business is in trouble because their company’s about to be bankrupt.”.
She had been upset with Jasmine ever since Jasmine took the liberty to ransack Elise’s bag without first obtaining permission. Generally, Mikayla was rather forgiving of Jasmine’s rudeness and arrogance, but Jasmine had gone overboard with favonovel.com actions.
“Well, I sure do hope that favonovel.com family goes into bankruptcy. By then, favonovel.com wouldn’t have the nerve to be arrogant at school…”
Elise’s expression was unfazed as favonovel.com listened to Mikayla’s words before responding, “I hope your wish comes true.”
“Fingers crossed!”
While those two chatted with each other, Jasmine suddenly walked through the door. However, contrary to favonovel.com normal behavior, favonovel.com currently looked defeated and completely listless. She glanced at Elise and couldn’t help recalling favonovel.com father’s words.
Jas, did you offend someone at school? Is that why the person has been intently targeting us?!
Although Jasmine returned to favonovel.com senses soon after that, there was a flash of uncertainty across favonovel.com face.
I don’t think I’ve offended anyone at school, though?! Perhaps it was Elise?!
Then again, she’s just a country bumpkin. How could favonovel.com possibly have achieved all this?
