Chapter 382 The Abandoned Daughter,Coolest Girl in Town

“I certainly hope you’re hearing yourself,” Madeline pointed out gravely. Although she wasn’t the least bit surprised by Alexander’s decision, she still wanted to give him one last chance to change his mind about this. “Oh, believe me, I hear myself crystal-clear.” Alexander gazed at her steadily. “We won’t be seeing each other as much as we used to from now on, Mom, so take care. Same goes for you, Dad.”

After having said that, he spun and assessed the rest of his relatives condescendingly before he drawled with a sadistic gleam in his eyes, “You know, I wonder how the company might fare in the stock market tomorrow once word of my leaving the Griffiths gets out. I guess we’ll have to wait and see, won’t we?” His sardonic words lingered heavily in the air, and he deliberately took in the interior of the house one last time before he leaned into Elise to whisper, “Come on, I’ll take you home.” She glanced around the room and when her gaze swept over the relatives Alexander was leaving behind, she looked almost as if she was sorry for them. At that moment, she parted her lips and addressed them for the first time today, “Soon you’ll find out that you’ve lost two valuable blue chips today.”

After Elise and Alexander left, the rest of the Griffiths were plunged into chaos, one that seemed more colossal than they could have ever imagined. Now that Alexander wasn’t around to strategize the company’s profits, the Griffith Group was nothing more than an empty shell.

over at the Sinclair Residence, Jeanie finally summoned the courage to knock on Robin’s bedroom door. “Come in,” Robin said, thinking that Elise had returned. He slowly sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard before he waited for someone to enter. “Old Master Sinclair,” Jeanie greeted courteously from where she stood at the doorway. “Mrs. Anderson? Is there something I can help you with?” he asked. Her hands were clasped tightly as she tugged anxiously on her fingers. She tried to find the right words, but after a while, she blurted out, “I
