“Yes,” Elise replied honestly. It was impossible to hide Madeline’s displeasure toward her and the fact that she had met with her. Rubbing her head, Alexander said in a low voice, “Don’t listen to her. You’re mine. I… I’m sorry for the trouble she’s caused you, but you have to trust me. Can you give me some time to deal with it?” She believed him, but she didn’t believe that Madeline’s attitude toward her could be improved. “Your mother favors Maya a lot. I…” Elise let out a long sigh. “Don’t think so much!” Elise grew increasingly firm with her thoughts. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn’t say anything, at this moment, the silence spoke louder than words.
After they hugged for a while longer, a rumbling sound rang out in the large office. Elise was embarrassed, and she just wanted to find a hole to hide in. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to dinner.” Alexander abandoned his work and left as he wished. However, Elise didn’t expect to bump into Madeline and Maya in the restaurant. Madeline was glaring at her like an enemy, and the look Maya was giving her wasn’t any better. Elise’s mind whirled. What is this all about? “Why don’t you go eat with them?” Elise gently tugged on Alexander’s sleeve and lowered her voice. Madeline had already told her off, yet here she was, out in public with Alexander. At this point, anyone would be angry. But, without saying a word, Alexander pulled her into the private room, leaving Madeline in a foul mood.
“Godmother, you can’t be angry. If you get angry at her, you’ll be letting her win. She brought Alex here on purpose to anger you.” Maya immediately stepped forward to comfort Madeline as soon as she saw her darkened expression. It would’ve been fine if she hadn’t said anything, but as soon as she spoke, a trigger was pulled. Madeline’s chest heaved. “How can I not be angry? That b*tch… What did I tell her? She actually turned a deaf ear to what I said. It’s really giving me a headache!” “That’s why you can’t get angry. Alex has just been momentarily captivated by that b*tch.
When he comes to his senses, she would naturally be nothing.” Not only was Maya persuading Madeline, she was persuading herself too. “He won’t come to his senses! He even said that I could continue causing him trouble if I wanted him dead. I wonder what kind of potion that b*tch had given him!” Madeline snapped angrily. “Who would’ve thought that she would have such good cards to play, or that she had a godfather! Godmother, I always felt that her relationship with her godfather is unusual. Since she wouldn’t leave Alexander no matter what, could it be that she’s a spy sent by them?”
Maya suddenly remembered that Elise had a godfather, so she continued to ignite the flame. Having been reminded by Maya of this fact, Madeline was instantly agitated. “Maya, that may actually be true. No, I can’t let Elise succeed. Otherwise, the foundation of the Griffith Family will be nabbed by someone else!”
The more Madeline spoke, the more anxious she grew, and she stepped forward to go confront Elise, but Maya stopped her. “Godmother, if you just rushed in like this, she wouldn’t possibly admit it, and Alex wouldn’t allow us to go in.” “What should we do, then?” Madeline felt anxious and troubled. Smiling, Maya whispered something into Madeline’s ear, and only then did Madeline nod satisfactorily.
