Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 426

Eventually, Tania swallowed her words.

Russell noticed the short exchange, and he was displeased, but he hid it quickly. They say Yoona’s

brought up in a village, but I don’t think so. Someone with that kind of aura can’t have grown up in a

regular family.

Even though his sister had stumbled, Daniel was in no hurry to come to her defense. Instead, he shifted

the topic like he usually would. “And I’m one year older than you. Come to me if you need any help.”

“What kind of help can you give me?” Elise asked without missing a beat.

Daniel was only being polite, but he never thought Elise would take it seriously. He had nothing to

answer, and the air was becoming awkward, so he threw out a random reply. “Anything. If someone tries

to bully you, or if you run into any trouble, you can come to me for help.”

“Get me a hundred doses of hyacinth serum then,” she answered calmly.

The moment she said that, Claude spewed his soup out. Hyacinth serum? And a hundred of them?

Wow, she does not hold back.

Daniel had some knowledge on medicines, since he was the young master of a family of doctors.

Hyacinth wasn’t a rare item, so he thought hyacinth serum was just another regular medicine as well.

“No problem. You will get your serums in three days,” he accepted the request readily.

Elise looked at him as if he was an idiot. “You have three months. If you can get a hundred doses by

then, I’ll acknowledge you as my cousin.”

Claude came over. “Hey, if I get a hundred of them, can I be your cousin too?”

“Buzz off” Elise told him off bluntly.

“Okay.” Claude went away immediately, but he muttered under his breath. “You didn’t have to tell me off

so bluntly.”

Daniel knew nothing about how Elise and Claude got along, so he thought of that as a funny little

episode and brushed it aside. Proudly, he said, “No need. Don’t worry about that, Elise. Leave it to me. If

I can’t find a hundred of them in three days, you can pick anything from my medicine stash. What do you

say?”

“Deal.” Elise’s eyes glinted slyly. Well, Christmas came early this year. And Santa came to my house

himself.

“Good” He puffed his chest out confidently, but when he glanced at his sister, a hint of disdain flashed in

his eyes. Hmph. In the end, it’s still up to me to complete Dad’s request of befriending Elise. You’re just a

girl and going to get married off soon. Just give up on the inheritance. You’re not worthy of it.

“Seems like you’re getting along.” Russell nodded happily. “Do keep in touch. It’s how a family bonds.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll come over a lot,” Daniel answered proudly.

“Good.” Russell nodded. He looked around the yard, and when he saw Alexander, his eyes shone.

Sometime earlier, he had looked into all the rich kids in Tissote to pick a good candidate for his

daughter’s marriage. Not to mention he could use the connection as well. Alexander was on the list, and

he was by far the best candidate for Tania.

The Griffiths might be in a decline, but Alexander was capable enough to get into Frazier Incorporated

and save their pharmaceutical company from a crisis. That alone pointed to the bright future Alexander

had.

When he heard the rumor about Alexander being Elise’s fiancé, he thought it was just a rumor. I guess

that rumor’s true, but they’re still not married. As long as he’s still not married, I can still snatch him away.

Russell gave Tania a look.

Tania looked at where he was looking. When she saw Alexander sitting there handsomely, she realized

what her father was getting at, and she nodded imperceptibly.

Russell went up to Jeanie and requested genuinely, “Jeanie, we’re really busy with work, Daniel and I.

We have no choice but to leave Tania at home every time. She’s really lonely there, so can you take care

of her for us for a few days? It’s a lively place here, and she can learn a thing or two from Yoona. What

do you think?”

Before Jeanie could say anything, Elise refused, “I have nothing to teach her.”

Daniel laughed. “You’re being modest, Elise. You’re a top student in Tissote University. You’re more than

qualified to teach her a thing or two.”

“Daniel’s right. Please don’t refuse us. She’s a hard worker, and she’s a great cook. Let her stay and help

you guys out, alright?”

Russell left them after saying that, worried that Elise would refuse again. “Enjoy your day. Tania, come

with me. I need to talk to you.”

He went out of the hall, and his children quickly followed him.

After they left, Moses mocked, “Well, someone’s more shameless than I am.”

Trevor snapped out of it and turned to look at his mother. “Are we really letting that girl stay here, Mom?”

“What can you do? Chase her out?” Jeanie could not do that, for they were still relatives.

Trevor shut up, since he could never chase his relative out.

Elise blurted, “Chase her out then.”

Jeanie smiled bitterly. “I was just joking, Yoyo. Russell’s a b*stard, but Tania’s your cousin, and she’s a

girl. You can’t chase her out. It’s a bit too insensitive.”

“If you don’t want to take her in, then why do you care if it’s insensitive?” Elise asked curiously.

“Um…” Jeanie was at a loss. Human relationships were weird and complex. Any minor decision could

result in a great disaster, so they couldn’t do whatever they pleased all the time.

Elise knew it was something she couldn’t understand, so she simply waved her hand. “Fine, you decide.”

She left it to her family.

Russell and his children stood face to face outside.

Tania grumbled pitifully, “Dad, you want me to seduce Elise’s fiancé on her turf? That’s too risky. If they

find out, Aunt Jeanie and Trevor will kill me.”

“Then don’t let them find out, duh,” Daniel mocked. “I don’t have to tell you who Alexander is, right? If

you actually marry him, even I have to butter you up. Dad’s paving a road for you here. Are you sure you

want to act like a child and refuse?”

“But—”

“Alright, quiet,” Russell interrupted the conversation. He told Tania, “I’ve always told you that it’s

important you marry a rich and powerful man. Endure this, and you will come out as a champion. Don’t

tell me you can’t do even this much.”
