Elise’s lips curved up in a smile, making her gorgeous face look especially charming. “Sorry, but I
have no time for that,” she replied. Then, she dropped her helmet, turned around, and walked
away.
Jamie looked at Danny with a gloating smirk. “Hehe, you’ve lost. How does it feel, huh? Look
who’s eating their own words now?”
Danny’s face was livid with rage, but he was at a loss for a retort.
Just then, Elise walked up to them. “Take me back to my place.”
“Gotcha, Boss,” Jamie replied before leaving with Elise in a servile manner.
Seeing how displeased Alexander looked behind him, Danny asked in puzzlement, “Did you let her
win the race because she’s pretty, Alexander?”
Alexander gave Danny a dirty look before glancing at Elise’s receding figure. He had a vague
feeling that the figure seemed somewhat familiar to him, but for a moment, he couldn’t recall where
he had seen it.
……
Elise went to sleep happily after getting the five million. The next morning, she put on her
unfashionable makeup and her wig again. Meanwhile, the scene downstairs was rather lively, with

“Here’s a photo of her. She’s a real knockout, isn’t she? The way she raced last night was so cool!
Now that I think about it, Alexander losing to her wasn’t all that bad after all.”
The other three glanced at the photo, which had been taken last night by one of Danny’s friends.
They discussed with great interest how Alexander had lost the race.
“Hahaha! How rare it is to hear that the unbeaten Alexander has actually been defeated!”
“She’s a stunner indeed. How I wish I could get her to model for our company,” said Brendan, who
owned a designer label.
“It’s a shame that she doesn’t enter show business with such good looks,” said Jack, a Best Actor
winner, with a sigh.
“Sigh, I forgot to ask her name last night. But Alexander has sent someone to find it out, so there’ll
probably be news very soon.”
It wasn’t until Elise came downstairs that the four men ended their discussion. They glanced at her,
thinking, Her looks are so far from being a match for that lady’s.
Elise could only be thankful that her makeup skills were good enough. Otherwise, all of them will
probably fall in love with me if they see through my cover, she thought narcissistically to herself.
After she finished breakfast, her cell phone rang on the table with three consecutive text messages
from Jamie. The first read, ‘Boss, you know what? Danny’s so shameless; he actually paid me
money to get your number!’ The second read, ‘I guess he’ll be pissed off if he finds out that the
person he’s looking for is actually living under the same roof with him.’ The third read, ‘By the way,
Alexander is also tracking you down, so be careful.’
Elise smiled in disdain. That depends on whether or not Alexander’s able to track me down, she
thought.
Finally, it was Friday. It was Alexander’s turn to take Elise to and from school today after Brendan
and Jack. However, neither of the two spoke on their way to school that morning.
To Elise’s surprise, when school was over, Danny followed her all the way out of the school
compound.
“Why are you following me around?”
Danny pursed his lips and replied in disdain, “I’m not following you around! Ashlyn is back; she
came with Alexander. I’m going to meet her.”
Ashlyn? Who? Elise thought.
Seeing how puzzled she was, Danny explained delightedly, “Ashlyn is the eldest daughter of the
Lawson Family. She grew up with us, and we had a lot of fun together, but she’s been studying
abroad for the past two years. Now she’s back at last!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElise could tell that Danny had a good impression of the lady, but she didn’t care about it. The
eldest daughter of the Lawson Family? Never heard of her, she thought while walking leisurely out
of the school gate with a lollipop dangling from her lips.
Ashlyn—the lady Danny spoke of—was in the passenger seat. Decked out in designer clothes, the
woman wore her long, wavy hair down behind her back, and the makeup on her face was exquisite
—typical of a lady from a rich family. After greeting Danny warmly, she turned to look at Elise and
said with a smile, “You must be Elise. I’m Ashlyn Lawson. I grew up with Danny and the others
since I was young. Let’s be friends from now on. Feel free to ask me out if you’re looking to have
some fun in Athesea.”
Elise responded politely, “Okay.”
“What fun will you have hanging out with her, Ashlyn? I missed you terribly. You’re not leaving this
time, are you?”
Ashlyn smiled. “No, I’m not leaving. I’ve graduated from college, so I’m planning to work at the
Griffith Group as an intern.”
“Really? In that case, you have to look after Ashlyn, Alexander.”
Alexander didn’t say a word as he started the car and left the school.
A flicker of disappointment flashed across Ashlyn’s eyes before she glanced at Elise through the
rearview mirror. How could I possibly leave again? she thought.
