Coolest Girl in Town

Elise almost burst into giggles when she saw the looks on everyone’s faces. Still, she held it in and pretended to look hurt while
following the siblings into the mansion. One of the servants took her to her bedroom, specially arranged for her by Jonah Griffith,
the Griffith siblings’ grandfather. It was apparent from the room’s girlish blue decor and its closet full of designer handbags,
clothes, and jewelry that a lot of care had been put into it. As the four Griffith siblings sat downstairs, they heard Elise’s
exclamations again. “Wow, this room is so huge and beautiful! Are these clothes, handbags, and pieces of jewelry all mine?”
...... All four of them looked devastated. Jack said, “She won’t take a fancy to me, right? I’m the most handsome among us, but it
was only today that I felt it’s wrong to be handsome.” “You’re the most handsome one? Have you no sense of shame?” When it
was time for dinner, Elise and the four Griffith siblings were still the only ones present. Jonah and the siblings’ parents had been
on vacation abroad, while Alexander Griffith, the eldest son of the Griffith Family, was at the company; he was the Griffith
Group’s president, as well as the person calling the shots in the Griffith Family. The siblings had their own places to stay, but they
were forced to move back and stay here at Jonah’s request due to Elise’s arrival. Everyone found it hard on their eyes when they
saw Elise still wearing the red embroidered clothes as she came downstairs. A world-renowned fashion designer, Brendan
couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Sinclair, there are plenty of clothes upstairs. Can’t you change into one of them?” Elise glanced at
her clothes before responding in puzzlement, “But I look pretty in this. My grandma made this for me by hand.” The four men
were rendered speechless. Who knew some people still make clothes by hand these days? “That’s enough, you bumpkin! Let
me tell you that the four of us would never get engaged to you, nor would Alexander ever like you. Be sensible and get out of
here by yourself,” said Danny, who had the sharpest tongue in the Griffith Family. Upon hearing his words, Elise bit her lip and
replied, “But I’ll have trouble explaining this to my grandpa—” “I think you’re just interested in our family’s money. I’m telling you,
you’re going to be very sorry for dragging out your stay in our home.” Elise looked aggrieved as she ate dinner with her head
down. It didn’t help that her face was just too ugly, so the four Griffith siblings were totally not in the mood to eat. How can we get
through to this lady? After they left, Elise had a great time eating dinner. The food at the Griffith Residence was quite to her taste.
Moreover, the effect she desired had been achieved. No one in the Griffith Family liked her, so she would be through with them
after a year. She retired to her bedroom after dinner. Just then, her cell phone beeped on the bed as it registered an incoming
text message. It read, ‘Have you arrived in Athesea, Boss? How’s everything? Did the Griffiths bully you?’ Elise smirked while
reading the text message. ‘The Griffiths have got nothing on me.’ The person quickly texted back, ‘You’re awesome, Boss! But
the Griffiths aren’t to be trifled with, especially Alexander Griffith. That man’s a deep one. You should watch out for him.’ Elise
was dumbfounded for a moment. Alexander? He must be the eldest son of the Griffith Family and the one who had a company
meeting today! Well, I didn’t get to see him, but who cares? I’ve never been afraid of anything since I was born. She went to
sleep after turning off her cell phone. Perhaps it was because she had always had trouble sleeping in a strange bed, for her head
felt muzzy throughout her sleep, and it wasn’t until about 4.00AM that she was awakened by thirst. She had removed her
makeup at the time, and she went downstairs in her slippers, thinking that she wouldn’t run into somebody in the middle of the
night. After drinking some water, she went upstairs and lay down in a sleepy daze. She didn’t switch on the lights. For some

reason, the bed felt different to her; it seemed to have become more comfortable to sleep on. No one knew how much time had
passed when the door opened and someone seemed to lift the quilt. Elise was a light sleeper, so she woke up groggily upon
sensing someone’s presence. However, before she could come to her senses, a deep and attractive male voice asked, “Who’s
there?” Elise was completely stunned. How dare one of the Griffiths break into my room in the middle of the night? She shot
back, “That’s my question! Who are you? Don’t you know it’s rude to break into someone else’s room in the middle of the night!”
Since the lights were switched off, Elise didn’t get to see the man’s face clearly. Then, she heard him reply with a sneer, “You’re
Elise Sinclair?”
