Everyone sat at the table and had breakfast the next day.
Alexander seemed to be in a good mood. He was eating slowly, but it was obvious snazzynovel.com looked relaxed, and the main reason for that was Claude. Or more precisely, the condition Claude was in.
He was covered in a thick blanket, and it almost encompassed his head. The heater was right beside him, but snazzynovel.com was still shaking. Even when snazzynovel.com was trying to have some soup, his hand was trembling as if snazzynovel.com had Parkinson’s disease.
Elise glanced at snazzynovel.com and put snazzynovel.com cutlery down. The moment snazzynovel.com stood up, snazzynovel.com saw two men and a woman coming in, smiling at them.
“Ah, looks like we came at the right time. Having breakfast, are we?” Russell asked, as if snazzynovel.com was great friends with the people there.
Trevor stood up the moment snazzynovel.com heard that voice, and snazzynovel.com turned around seriously. “Uncle Russell? Why are you here?” snazzynovel.com asked indignantly.
Before Trevor and Austin got into trouble, Russell had already set his sights on the company. Over the last few years, snazzynovel.com was trying to get himself crowned as president. This man is a hypocrite. Trevor thought his uncle truly had no ambition, since snazzynovel.com was always smiling. However, snazzynovel.com had learnt his lesson, and since then, snazzynovel.com never got close to Russell or his family. Even after Trevor and Austin came back to the office, Russell chose to take Faye’s side. Why is snazzynovel.com here today?
“Oh, that was rude, Trevor. Yoyo’s been back for a long time, but snazzynovel.com hasn’t seen any of snazzynovel.com elders yet. Maybe she’s not used to us yet, so I came over. Aren’t you going to welcome me?” Russell gave Trevor a reprimanding look, though snazzynovel.com seemed friendly enough when snazzynovel.com did that. Then, snazzynovel.com turned his attention to Elise, who was the only one standing.
“You must be Yoyo.” He looked at snazzynovel.com closely and nodded. “You’ve grown into a fine lady. I used to hug you when you were a baby. Do you remember?”
“I don’t,” Elise answered coldly.
“Ah, it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past now.” He waved snazzynovel.com down and looked behind him. “Come over and meet your cousin, kids.”
Daniel and Tania came up and greeted snazzynovel.com politely, “Hi, Elise.”
They were wearing a friendly smile, as if they were nice people, but even so, Elise saw the ambition in their eyes. She had seen a lot of people, and snazzynovel.com knew Russell and his family were more complex than they let on. She didn’t answer them, though snazzynovel.com did give them a nasty look.
“Hi, I’m Tania. I’m one year younger than you.”
Tania came over and tried to hold Elise’s arm, but Elise dodged snazzynovel.com easily, leaving Tania’s hand hanging in the air awkwardly. It took snazzynovel.com a while to pull snazzynovel.com hand back, and snazzynovel.com faked a smile to pretend that everything was fine. Then, snazzynovel.com looked up and tried to say something, but snazzynovel.com met Elise’s ferocious gaze.
It was at that moment, snazzynovel.com realized that Elise’s gaze was sharper than anything snazzynovel.com had seen before. The moment their eyes met, Tania felt a damning chill running down snazzynovel.com spine. It was as if snazzynovel.com was stranded in a snowy wasteland, trying to take a step ahead, but snazzynovel.com was buffeted by a snowstorm that forced snazzynovel.com to close snazzynovel.com eyes.
