Coolest Girl in Town

Elise quickly explained, “It’s not like I wanted to accept Jamie’s presents, but the situation at the time…” Just then, however, she thought of something. After all, Madeline was Alexander’s mother. However displeased she was with Madeline, she couldn’t say nasty things about his mother in front of him. Therefore, she changed the subject and said, “Never mind, I’ll return them after leaving them here for a few days.” However, Alexander tightened his arms around her. “I’m sorry, Elise. I don’t think I can accept other men being nice to you, so I’ve got to be twice as nice to you in the future.”

Elise didn’t say a word. There were some things that she didn’t want to tell him lest it made him feel even more irritable. However, she could sense that Madeline was hostile to her. Seems like it’s true that the relationship with one’s mother-in-law is the trickiest problem in the world. Perhaps I could reduce the conflict between us by avoiding her, she thought. At the thought of this, she made up her mind. When Alexander came out of Elise’s room, he gave Cameron a call. “Help me find out what happened at Moore Plaza today.” Cameron merely replied, “Yes, Young Master Alexander,” on the other end of the line without asking any questions.

After hanging up the phone, Alexander looked back and stared at the tightly closed door. Even though Elise said nothing about it, he could sense that there was something wrong with her mood today. What should I do to reduce her worries? he thought. Over the next few days, Elise went out from dawn till dusk, going to Brendan’s studio to help him with his work. As she avoided meeting Madeline almost every day, the two women rarely ran into each other, thus avoiding many conflicts.

However, Madeline wouldn’t let it go at that. One day, the servant received an exquisitely designed invitation card. “Madam, it’s an invitation sent by the SK Group.” Madeline took the invitation card and glanced at it. “Just put it there! I’ll make time to attend the event.” “Yes, madam,” Stella said. Just as Stella was about to leave, Madeline stopped her, saying, “Wait a minute, Stella.” “Is there anything else, madam?” Coming straight to the point, Madeline said, “You’ve worked for the Griffiths for years. I suppose I can talk about this with you without mincing words. You’ve served Dad by his side for so many years, so you know his temperament better than anyone else.

get engaged to a country bumpkin like Elise.” Stella was troubled by Madeline’s question. “Madam, this is a matter within the Griffith Family. I’m only a servant, so I’m not qualified to comment on this.” Madeline immediately replied, “It’s okay, Stella. I just want to know what Dad thought, so you just have to be honest.” Still, Stella was unsure of what to say in response. In the past few days, she had noticed that Madeline seemed to be displeased with Elise. Naturally, she couldn’t say anything about it as a servant, though she felt more and more sorry for

Elise is actually a fine lady. She excels in her studies and is the top scorer in the college entrance exam this time. Back when the late Mr. Griffith was still around, she never exploited his fondness for her to do anything inappropriate. Instead, she always had the interests of the Griffiths in mind. As for her relationship with Young Master Alexander, I don’t think it’s proper for us to speak out of turn about the love between a man and a woman. But I believe that Young Master Alexander must’ve liked Miss Elise because there’s something extraordinary about her. Besides, they look like a perfect match. I think they’ll

words, Stella realized that Madeline disliked Elise because of the latter’s family background. Turns out that rich families value marriages between families of equal social standing above everything else. Well, the late Mr. Griffith was better; he didn’t hold such vulgar

they’ve yet to reach that point in their relationship. In that case, there’d still be a way to improve the situation, she thought. “Alright, I got it. You may leave.” Stella wiped the sweat off her forehead before going to the kitchen. Then, she breathed a sigh of helplessness, saying, “Why would a kind person like you come across such a mother-in-law,

last few days, the lights in the living room would’ve already been switched off. Today, however, the spacious living room was brightly lit. “You’re back at last, huh?” Elise heard Madeline’s voice as soon as she entered the house. When she looked up subconsciously, she saw Madeline sitting on the sofa in the living room. She asked, “Why are you still

here. Let’s have a talk.” Elise walked over to Madeline and sat down beside her. “Is there anything you’d like to talk to me about, Mrs. Griffith?” “Uh-huh,” Madeline replied. “I heard from someone in the family that you’d be staying here for only a year. Since it’s about time, I’d say you should consider moving out and staying somewhere else. After all, you’re a lady, so it’s quite improper for you to stay at someone else’s place all year round.” For a moment, Elise didn’t know how to respond to Madeline’s words. She came here because Jonah had invited her

a 2-bedroom apartment downtown, so you can stay there if you want.” “Thanks for your kind offer, Mrs. Griffith, but it’s not necessary. I’ll find a place to stay on my own.” Madeline heaved
