Coolest Girl in Town

Elise replied, “Thanks for your reminder, Mrs. Griffith, but you don’t seem to know your son very well. His views might not be similar to yours, so what you said today didn’t crush my determination to stay with him. Instead, it strengthened my resolve. I’m a bit tired, so I’ll be going upstairs for a rest. You should rest early, too.” With that, she turned around and left, her back straightened. Madeline looked sullen, her face livid with anger as she was left alone in the living room. What gives this country woman the nerve to stand up to me? she thought.

Back when Jonah was still in the Griffith Residence, she seemed to have nothing to worry about. But now, Madeline was telling her outright to back out and not ask for the moon.

Is my office still where it was?” “Yeah, I cleared out a large space for you around here.

Coming into view was a large room that had several mannequins wearing wedding dresses of different styles placed at the door in various postures. “This is where you’ll be working during your summer break. Take a look at it. Do you like it?” Brendan asked. Elise entered the room and looked around before walking up to the French window. As she gazed out of the window, she had a panoramic view of the incredibly beautiful scenery in the distance. “What a beautiful place this is! It’s simply a pleasure to work here.” Brendan chuckled at her words.

so I drew a few designs.” “You’re so productive. Still, however busy you are, remember to eat. Why don’t you take a break first?” Only then did Elise stop what she was doing and look up at the wall clock. When she saw that it was almost 1PM, she was stupefied. “No way. It’s almost 1PM?” Brendan let out a sigh

Elise hesitated somewhat, but she answered the phone nonetheless. “Hi, may I ask who’s—” A familiar female voice sounded through the phone. “It’s me. Where are you now?” When Elise heard the voice, she

giving you half an hour. You’ll suffer the consequences if you fail to show up.” With that, she hung up right away. When Elise heard the disconnect tone on the phone, she instantly lost all her appetite for the food

Madeline let out a snort. “In any case, I’m now her future mother-in-law. If she doesn’t show up, then there’s no need to maintain the relationship anymore.” Maya Dahlen was inwardly delighted when she heard Madeline’s reply, but her face gave nothing away.
