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

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

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?”
