Coolest Girl in Town
Chapter 167
After hanging up the phone, Arthur hurried to gather everyone in the office. An hour later, the foyer was
fully crammed with staff members, most of whom craned their necks to look outside the door.
As the car slowly arrived at the familiar place, Elise felt her heart growing conflicted. Once the vehicle
stopped at the entrance, a security guard immediately stepped forward to open the car door for her.
“We’re here. Go down and have a look,” Julius gently said and she did as told.
The moment she stepped down from the car, Arthur sprinted forward and exclaimed tremulously, “You’re
finally here, Boss.”
Behind him were her company employees, who began to greet her warm-heartedly one by one.
“Welcome back, President Sinclair!”
As she watched her employees welcoming her, Elise suddenly remembered how easily and carefree it
was to pass the burden to Arthur all those years ago. Yet, even now that she was back, she had no
intention of taking over this burden.
“Thank you, everyone. You may return to your work now,” she told her employees, upon which they
hurriedly dispersed. Meanwhile, he was still updating her with excitement on the changes that the
company had undergone during these past few years. He didn’t even stop talking during their elevator
ride to the top floor.
It wasn’t until she sat down behind the president’s desk that an emotional Arthur questioned, “Are you
back now to give me a long vacation, Boss? You may not know this, but I’ve even postponed my
wedding a few times throughout the years for this company.”
When Elise saw his pitiful look, she couldn’t help saying, “Alright, I’ll give you a month-long vacation.”
“Only a month?!” His expression instantly fell.
“Quit while you’re ahead. Don’t forget that I’ll have to look for your replacement during your month-long
vacation,” Julius reminded.

month was better than nothing. “Of course, Boss. I’ll do as you say.” Nonetheless, he couldn’t refrain
from asking, “When are you coming back to manage the company? I can’t handle things by myself here.”
The problem was that Elise hadn’t actually considered that question; she was only here because the loss
of a cash prize from the racing competition meant that she needed to take money from her company.
“Transfer ten million to this account later,” she informed Arthur, to which he agreed without looking at the
information.
“I’ll have the Finance Department do it in a bit,” he informed. “It’s best that you return, Boss. The
company needs you.”
She gently shook her head. “You have to keep going. I believe in you; you can do it.”
However, he would no longer be satisfied with this platitude. After all, that was what she had told him all
those years ago, yet she was being similarly evasive more than two years later!
“One year!” Arthur held up a finger. “One year at most thereafter you must come back.”
Upon realizing that her words couldn’t placate him, Elise could only agree to his request. “Alright. We’ll
talk about it after a year then.”
Her words significantly made him relaxed, but he still lamented his misfortune. Nonetheless, with no
recourse in sight, he could only roll up his sleeves and continue to work hard.
“I feel better with that promise of yours, but you should still have a look at this quarter’s financial
statements.” Arthur quickly instructed the secretary to bring the relevant reports to him. The mountainous
pile only made Elise want to slink away as there were so many documents that it would take her an eon
to finish reading them.
“I trust whatever you’ve seen, so I don’t think I need to inspect it again.” After Elise said that, she stood
up. “I’m here today just to take a look. The company has been growing under your leadership while
business has been booming, which makes me feel at ease to leave the company in your hands.”
With that, she glanced at Julius, who immediately understood her intention.
Then, he offered Arthur a polite smile before saying, “We’ll be leaving now.”
For a moment, Arthur was tempted to stop Elise from departing, but he knew he would never be able to
do so and decided not to give it a shot after all.
As she stood at the entranceway and took in the familiar surroundings after exiting the company, she
inhaled deeply. When she founded the company all those years ago, it was nothing more than a small
workshop-his contributions were inseparable from how much the company had grown these few short
years. She gave the company to him as she trusted in him, but more than that, she believed in his ability
to bring the company to greater heights.
Her cell phone rang at that moment, which shattered her thoughts.
“I found the information you need, Boss,” Jamie announced at the other end of the line. As he continued
to speak, her gaze darkened.
“I see,” she told him. “I’ll be back as soon as possible. Don’t make any rash decisions before that.”
Upon hanging up the phone, she looked at Julius. “It looks like I can’t stay here. I’ll have to head back to
Athesea.”
Julius agreed, “I’ll send you to the airport then.”
By the time she returned to Athesea, she had already swapped her disguise for the ordinary,
unremarkable, and unbecoming Elise.
The moment Elise exited the airport, she noticed that Jamie was already waiting at the gates.
Upon seeing her, he alighted from his car and called out, “Boss!”
After grunting, she instructed, “Get into the car before we talk about anything else.”
They entered the vehicle one by one, after which he handed her a document. “I looked into the rival
families that had grievances with the Griffith Family but couldn’t find anything. However, one person
stood out to me as a suspect more than anyone else.”
As she flipped through the document, her gaze darkened. “It’s him?!”
“Yup,” Jamie said. “I was surprised as well. One would really have to be ruthless enough to try and kill
their own brother. I don’t know why he held back the first time, but the investigation shows that this
matter is related to him.”
The conclusion made her tightly knit her eyebrows. Never did she expect that the person who would try
to kill Alexander was Matthew himself.

“Watch him covertly for now. See whether he makes any new movements. I imagine he’ll try again now
that he has messed up, so we need to stay ahead of the game and keep him under our control.”
“Understood, Boss. Leave this to me. It’s getting late and you must be tired from the flight. I’ll send you
back.”
Without further delay, Jamie sent Elise to the Griffith Residence, whereupon she was
greeted by the sight of Jonah and Danny having a conversation in the living room. Then, she said, “Hi,
Grandpa!”
Jonah lifted his gaze and gave a broad smile. “You’re back, Ellie! Where were you these past two days? I
haven’t seen you at all.”
“I had some business to attend to,” she could only explain. “The good thing is that I’ve finished attending
to it.”
“That’s good.” He nodded. “By the way, the shareholders’ meeting for the Griffith Group is this Friday.
Come with us.”
She stammered, “M-must I?”
Next to Jonah was Danny, who stared at her. “You’re a major shareholder who owns 30% of the stock in
Griffith Group. What do you think?”
A somewhat embarrassed Elise rubbed her head. “Alright. Of course, Grandpa, I’ll come with you on
Friday.”
