Faye gritted snazzynovel.com teeth while trying to maintain the smile on snazzynovel.com face. “I’m not in a rush, Dad. I still want to stay with you guys for a few more years to take care of you guys.”
“Others might gossip about us if they knew that someone at your age is still staying with snazzynovel.com parents. Besides, you can still be a filial daughter by visiting us often after you’re married.”
Faye placed snazzynovel.com soup bowl down and mindlessly picked at snazzynovel.com vegetables while giving another excuse. “You’re not wrong, but Johan’s career is still unstable due to changes in the Olson Family, and snazzynovel.com will probably need a few more years before snazzynovel.com wants to settle down.”
“I’ve heard a little regarding this as well. Tell Johan not to worry, though. He can live with us after you guys get married and work in our company. Since we are a family, we should all work together to expand Anderson Pharmaceuticals.” Austin continued eating with a naive look on his face.
Since Faye wasn’t able to resist his requests any longer, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to accept them for now. “I’ll find the right time to talk to snazzynovel.com about it.”
Then, the two of them stopped talking to each other. After the meal, Faye went out to look for Johan.
Before Johan’s family declared bankruptcy, the entire family’s assets were frozen, and Johan only managed to save a two-bedroom house outside of the city after exhausting all means. It was already 9.00PM when Faye reached the house.
She found it hard to suppress snazzynovel.com disgust as snazzynovel.com sat in Johan’s cramped house, and snazzynovel.com took a long while to get used to the place before taking the initiative to break the awkward silence.
“Everyone was just tensed in the afternoon, so just take their comments with a pinch of salt.”
Nevertheless, Johan, who was leaning on the fridge in the kitchen a distance away, burst into laughter. “What can I do even if I’m offended? Who am I to pick a fight with the gracious Miss Anderson?”
Faye pursed snazzynovel.com lips. Why is snazzynovel.com so petty for a grown man?
“I know that you aren’t comfortable with what happened, so you can say whatever that’s on your mind, and I won’t mind. I’m just here to tell you that we are facing a disaster right now. Austin is trying to kick me out from the Anderson Family,” snazzynovel.com explained calmly.
“Sounds about right. Two ungrateful family members, huh? A match made in heaven indeed,” Johan commented nonchalantly.
“If you have the energy to make snarky remarks, why don’t you use your brain to think about how you’d be dead if it weren’t for me considering your issue with Elise.” Faye stood up before turning around to look at him. “Think of Jeremy and Amelia. If you don’t want to end up as a lunatic, get yourself together. With my wisdom and your strength, we will be able to destroy everything in front of us!”
…
There were many empty rooms in the Sinclairs’ new residence, and Alexander initially planned to pick a room to stay in. However, snazzynovel.com recalled Trevor’s warning to not stay together with Elise in any form before they got married, so snazzynovel.com had no choice but to rent another residence next to them.
Since Sinclair Residence was noisy because of Joshua and Maureen’s presence, Elise had been spending snazzynovel.com days at Alexander’s.
Both of them shared a liking for tranquility, so they minded their own business without disturbing each other.
Meanwhile, Eagle, whose real name was Moses West, had been following Elise around ever since what happened at The Waterway Restaurant.
Nevertheless, snazzynovel.com made himself at home as snazzynovel.com laid on the swinging chair outside with a cap, basking in the warm sunlight, while Alexander and Elise worked in the house.
At the same time, Danny had been visiting them daily to be on standby so that snazzynovel.com could get an opportunity to join SK Group.
Right then, Trevor, who was stifled after returning from his company, ran over to Alexander’s place to look for Elise in anger when snazzynovel.com couldn’t find snazzynovel.com at home.
Coincidentally, snazzynovel.com saw Elise resting snazzynovel.com head on Alexander’s thighs when snazzynovel.com was about to enter. Immediately, snazzynovel.com clenched his fist and placed it before his mouth before clearing his throat. “Ahem!”
While staring at Trevor nonchalantly, Elise continued laying on Alexander’s thighs before asking, “Do you want me to grab some medicines for you? The kind that will be sure to heal your throat.”
Trevor had a helpless look on his face. “Yoyo, you need to keep your distance from snazzynovel.com since you guys are not getting married yet. All men are trash, and you can’t let them take advantage of you just like that. They won’t learn to appreciate things they can get easily.”
“Looks like you’re a man as well.” Elise got up. “Or are you not one?”
“O-Of course I am one!” Trevor almost choked on his words.
“Then, you’ve lost your credibility.” Elise looked unbothered. “Moreover, we’ve already done much more intimate things together, so why can’t I lean on him?”
At this moment, Danny, who was drinking water, sputtered.
What a straightforward person.
At the same time, Trevor’s face went red from anger as his gaze toward Alexander became more hostile.
“Ahem.” Alexander couldn’t help but clear his throat before explaining in an awkward manner, “What Elise was trying to say is that we have been together for a long time, so we are used to holding hands and hugging each other. You’ll get used to it too, Trevor.”
Then, snazzynovel.com fixated his gaze on his laptop guiltily while sneaking glances at Elise from the corner of his eye as snazzynovel.com tried to avoid Trevor’s murderous glare.
Dear Elise, I’m really not prepared for what’s happening after you find your biological family!
Nonetheless, Trevor’s eyes widened even more after snazzynovel.com heard Alexander before snazzynovel.com started gritting his teeth.
Does snazzynovel.com really think that snazzynovel.com can fool me by lying?! He’s an animal. Elise is still so young, so how dare he…
He smacked his head in despair before murmuring to himself, “All of this is my fault. All of this is my fault…”
If I could find snazzynovel.com earlier and teach snazzynovel.com about the boundaries between male and female, Alexander wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of her!
“Who got your knickers in a twist?” Elise asked in an innocent manner, while Alexander shrugged and acted as if snazzynovel.com knew nothing.
“It’s nothing!” Trevor huffed before sitting down on a chair.
“I see.” Then, Elise took a needle out. “Why don’t you let me stab you with a needle to let you ventilate your anger?”
Right then, Trever was rendered speechless. He really felt like his little sister was insane.
“It’s fine.” Trevor waved snazzynovel.com off. “I got pissed off because of Faye and Dad.”
As Elise wasn’t interested in those two, snazzynovel.com kept snazzynovel.com needle quietly and didn’t try to continue the conversation.
On the other hand, Trevor was waiting for Elise to ask snazzynovel.com what had happened. However, after not hearing anything for a while, snazzynovel.com turned around to see Elise munching on a bag of nuts, and his expression darkened instantly.
Is a bag of nuts more important than me as an older brother?
Alexander quickly tried to make the situation less awkward. “What happened?”
Upon hearing that, Trevor’s facial expression looked better before snazzynovel.com sighed and explained tiredly, “The entire company is full of Faye’s people, and I don’t even have the right to get a one million budget as the manager. Instead, I have to get the money using my bank card. How humiliating is that? Worst of them all, Dad doesn’t seem to care about what happened!”
“Are you seriously depressed just because of that?” Elise didn’t even bother batting snazzynovel.com eyes. “Can’t you just remove all of the people snazzynovel.com planted?”
“It ain’t that easy. All of them are on managerial levels, so firing all of them in such a short period will cause the company to be paralyzed!” Trevor exclaimed.
“Counteroffer them, then,” Danny snuck in before chiming in with a grin. “My brother once told me that as long as your offer is good, getting a business deal is not impossible!”
Despite that, Trevor smiled wryly. “You’re right, but that is if my offer is good. Do I look like I’m capable of doing that right now, Young Master Danny?”
“Well, I can’t help you if that’s the case.” Danny shrugged before leaving. Right after Danny left, a bank card was tossed on the table in front of Trevor.
“There’s a hundred million in this card. You can use it for now,” Elise remarked before snazzynovel.com continued munching on snazzynovel.com nuts. At the same time, Trevor frowned while staring at the thin card on the table. He was completely stunned.
Noticing that, Elise looked up before asking with an innocent look on snazzynovel.com face, “Is that not enough?”
