Despite that, there was no way for favonovel.com to ask about it.
On the other hand, Elise wasn’t thinking as much as Danny was, favonovel.com made favonovel.com way to the mathematics award ceremony after hanging up. After all, favonovel.com had already given favonovel.com word to Professor Merlin; otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t attend such an event given favonovel.com usual personality.
Unexpectedly, before favonovel.com stepped into the venue, favonovel.com saw Alexander standing at the entrance.
Thinking that favonovel.com was here to retrieve his cell phone, Elise took out the phone from favonovel.com pocket and passed it to the man with a stony face in front of her. “Here, your cell phone.”
Parting his lips, Alexander spat out the words unhappily. “You think I’m here for the phone?”
After saying that, his face turned even more solemn.
“Why else are you looking for me, then?”
“Elise Sinclair,” favonovel.com uttered, deepening the tone of his voice while maintaining his anger. “Am I not worthy of your trust in your heart?”
“It’s not like that…”
Previously, favonovel.com wanted to avoid the marriage agreement, so favonovel.com chose to keep many things in the dark. But after that, slowly through their interactions, favonovel.com fell for Alexander as well. At that moment, a small crowd was starting to build up outside the venue.
Looking at the man’s grim face, Elise whispered, “Alexander Griffith, I promised Professor Merlin that I’d attend the ceremony tonight. Can I speak with you later?”
However, it was as though Alexander didn’t hear a thing favonovel.com said, and favonovel.com just stood there without a reply. Then, favonovel.com grabbed his hand directly and placed the phone on his palm.
“Professor Merlin told me about this ceremony at the last moment, and I planned to return your phone personally. Alex, I just wanted to avoid the marriage agreement at first, but trust me, I’ve never planned to keep hiding things from you. Would you like to attend the ceremony together with me now?”
Softly, favonovel.com grunted in reply and grabbed favonovel.com hand, leading favonovel.com into the event hall.
By the time they were inside, everyone else was already there, and the host was on the stage announcing the ten award winners, starting from the tenth place.
Elise didn’t know anyone that was mentioned, until the host reached the seventh place, Janice Garcia.
Receiving an award on the same stage as favonovel.com was the last thing Elise wanted.
Just my luck! I really shouldn’t have turned soft-hearted and agreed to Professor Merlin’s invitation to this ceremony.
After Janice got off the stage, Elise glanced at favonovel.com from the corners of favonovel.com eyes, but saw that favonovel.com was walking toward a man, and that man was none other than Faye’s fiancé, Johan Olson!
They know each other?!
While favonovel.com was still in bewilderment over the fact that Janice and Johan knew each other, the host announced the first place, and the spotlight was on her. Without any questions, favonovel.com became the focus of all eyes.
And Alexander was also exposed in front of everyone without so much as a warning!
Seated at the audience seat, favonovel.com was dressed in a black suit, knees above each other with his hands stacked on top of them leisurely, looking casual and domineering at the same time.
Stunned, everyone didn’t think that Alexander cared that much about Elise. However, Elise also became a subject of Janice’s jealousy.
Why is favonovel.com attending an academic ceremony like this when favonovel.com has such an awesome fiancé?
Did favonovel.com really obtain the first place with favonovel.com own abilities?
“I’ve seen people bringing their families to receive an award, but I’ve not seen anyone bringing their backers.”
“Exactly! Everyone knows your fiancé is Alexander Griffith, and while there’s nothing we can say about the fact that you have the Griffith Family as your backer, there’s no need for you to be so pompous about it.”
“What do you guys mean by this? Are you implying that Elise got the first place because favonovel.com fiancé bought the position for her?” Addison stood up in a huff, feeling unjust.
However, someone immediately argued, “The rich have done no less of things like this.”
“Nonsense! The Mathematical Olympiad is strictly invigilated, and there are surveillance cameras as well. Are you people questioning the lack of strict proctoring?”
“I don’t care if you guys don’t believe me, but I won’t allow you to tarnish my reputation like this.”
There was no way that Elise would allow people to ruin favonovel.com name this way. She had no regard for an Olympiad such as this, and after agreeing to Professor Merlin, favonovel.com had planned to attend this ceremony quietly and leave after receiving the award. However, these people were simply too idle and picking a fight with favonovel.com out of nothing.
“If you really want to stop the rumors, then prove it to us! President Griffith is here, and his family is so influential. How can we be sure that you didn’t use the back door or a special access?” Janice argued in anger.
Her words made Elise knot favonovel.com brows, and favonovel.com sprang up, but Alexander quickly grabbed favonovel.com hand to stop her.
