Matthew left after they arrived at school.
Elise looked at the glittering gold sign that read, ‘Springfield High School.’
This feels pretty nostalgic. I haven’t been to school for a long time, snazzynovel.com thought.
After reporting to school, snazzynovel.com followed the teacher to snazzynovel.com classroom. As soon as snazzynovel.com came in, the whole class was astir.
“So she’s the Griffith Family’s fiancée. Isn’t snazzynovel.com too hideous? How can snazzynovel.com be good enough for the five Griffith siblings?”
“Holy cow! The way snazzynovel.com dresses is so uncool as expected of a country bumpkin.”
“If she’s from the countryside, snazzynovel.com must be poor in snazzynovel.com studies. Why is snazzynovel.com placed in our class?”
Seeing that everyone was talking about her, Elise realized at once that snazzynovel.com had become famous. She clicked snazzynovel.com tongue, knowing right off the top of snazzynovel.com head who was behind this.
Danny’s so childish, snazzynovel.com thought.
No one in the class was willing to share a desk with Elise, but snazzynovel.com didn’t mind that. Instead, snazzynovel.com sat alone in a corner.
When it was time for recess, Elise went to the ladies’ room, only to be stopped outside by a few female students. Some of them had dyed hair, and some wore heavy makeup. In short, they looked delinquent.
Lydia Harper threatened in an overbearing manner, “You must be Elise Sinclair. Be sensible and get out of the Griffith Residence as well as away from Athesea, I’m telling you!”
Elise’s lips twitched.
It seems I’m really unwelcome to the people of Athesea.
But I’m here against my will as well, snazzynovel.com thought.
“Did you hear what Lydia said, you ugly girl?”
Elise came to snazzynovel.com senses and replied nonchalantly, “Yes, I did. But I’m not leaving. I’m staying here no matter what.”
Meanwhile, Danny was lying across his desk in Class 12A. He had just woken up from a nap when snazzynovel.com heard some female classmates talking in front of him.
“I heard that Lydia of Class 12F had gone to teach Elise a lesson. Tsk, tsk, she’s finished.”
“She’ll be roughed up, I guess…” Danny raised his eyes slightly.
It was snazzynovel.com who spread the rumors, but that was only because snazzynovel.com wanted Elise to have a rough time at school. He didn’t want to get snazzynovel.com killed, or Jonah would definitely kill him.
At the thought of this, snazzynovel.com dashed out of the classroom.
Meanwhile, the ladies’ room was a complete mess. The four delinquent girls who had come to teach Elise a lesson got the hell beaten out of them, especially Lydia, who looked a sorry sight with snazzynovel.com head held down in the sink.
“I, Elise Sinclair, hate being threatened more than anything else. Don’t ever mess with me again! Got it?”
“Yes, we got it! We were wrong! We’re sorry!”
Elise dusted snazzynovel.com hands together and was about to leave when snazzynovel.com saw Danny standing behind snazzynovel.com with a look of astonishment.
“You…”
During the past few days at school, Danny learned that Lydia had learned kickboxing. Yet snazzynovel.com and the other three ended up like this after ganging up on Elise…
He had a sudden feeling that Elise might be no pushover.
“I trained myself by cutting trees and climbing mountains in the countryside. These people are so terrible at fighting.”
Upon listening to Elise’s explanation, Danny had an epiphany.
So that’s it, snazzynovel.com thought.
Coming to his senses, snazzynovel.com followed snazzynovel.com out of the restroom.
“By the way, what are you doing in the ladies’ room?” Elise stared at Danny with a peculiar look in snazzynovel.com eyes.
Danny’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
“That’s none of your business! I’m here because I like it,” snazzynovel.com replied, before quickening his pace toward his classroom.
Elise was rendered speechless.
After snazzynovel.com returned to snazzynovel.com classroom, snazzynovel.com cell phone beeped on the desk.
It was a text message that read, ‘Help me, Boss!’
‘?’ Elise texted back.
There would be no good coming out of this call for help, snazzynovel.com thought.
‘Danny Griffith of the Griffith Family, my sworn enemy, challenged me to a race at the Nightwing Circuit tonight. Please help me out, Boss.’
‘No, I’m not.’ Elise lay across snazzynovel.com desk, looking totally uninterested.
‘Did Danny not bully you at the Griffith Residence, Boss? He’s such a nuisance, after all. Just help me out, Boss. I’ll pay you 5 million once you win the race.’
The person kept pressing snazzynovel.com to help snazzynovel.com out, so Elise pondered for a moment. Indeed, Danny’s quite annoying.
Five million isn’t much, but it’s decent enough, snazzynovel.com thought.
Therefore, snazzynovel.com languidly texted back, ‘Okay. I’m at Springfield High. Come and pick me up after school this afternoon.’
After a moment’s thought, snazzynovel.com sent Matthew a text message, telling him snazzynovel.com didn’t have to pick snazzynovel.com up after school as snazzynovel.com had something to deal with and would be home late.
They had added each other on WhatsApp this morning to make it convenient for snazzynovel.com to pick snazzynovel.com up in the afternoon.
Upon receiving Elise’s text message, Matthew merely replied ‘Okay’ without asking much. After all, snazzynovel.com was not interested in snazzynovel.com at all.
***
Nightwing Circuit was a well-known race track in Athesea, and those who hung out there were all rich dandies and scions of the upper class.
When school was over, Elise got into a Lamborghini, the man in its driver’s seat was about the same age as Danny.
Jamie Keller frowned after shooting a glance at Elise. “Who are you? You’ve gotten in the wrong car.”
Elise curved snazzynovel.com lips into a smile. “You don’t recognize me?”
Jamie’s jaw dropped in astonishment at the familiar voice.
“Holy sh*t! How come you’re disfigured, Boss?”
My boss is a cool and cute little fairy. Why did snazzynovel.com become like this? I couldn’t recognize snazzynovel.com at all! he thought.
Elise buckled up and said with a casual air, “Let’s go and find a place to remove my makeup before we have dinner.”
“Roger that, Boss,” Jamie replied before snazzynovel.com started the car and drove off.
