Alexander gazed back at Robin and said earnestly, “We wouldn’t be discussing this if I weren’t. I wish
to take care of her. For as long as I can.”
Every single word that came out of his mouth clearly traveled into Robin’s ears. Robin then grinned.
“So you’re into our Ellie, huh?”
Before Alexander could reply, he added, “You best think this through. Although our Ellie doesn’t
possess the most repellant face, she’s not exactly a beauty either. All the provocations in the outside
world, are you sure Ellie is the woman you want?”
Hearing that, Alexander started to wonder. Elise’s appearance never stood out in the crowd, and her
face wasn’t what he was attracted to in the first place. Nevertheless, for some reason, he was
captivated by her. He couldn’t even trace back to when it was that he started paying attention to her.
“Rest assured, Mr. Robin, I responsibly promise you that I like Elise for what she is and not for her
appearance nor her family background. I genuinely adore her for her being.”
Robin was satisfied with his answer. Regardless, it pertained to his granddaughter’s future, so it was
nothing to joke about. Thus, he did not make any promises. After all, their destiny belonged to them, so
it should be up to them to fulfill it. “Understood. Now, it’s all up to you whether you can keep her. Either
way, her grandmother and I will not influence her in her decision-making.”
With that, Alexander acknowledged that Robin had expressed his position in the matter. As for the
result of their relationship, it still solely depended on him.
“Thank you, Mr. Robin. I know what I should do now.”
Robin then started to cackle. “Time shall tell!”
……
It was late at night. Nothing but silence filled the Griffith Residence—except for the living room on the
second floor. In the merry space, Robin and Jonah were gregarious exchanging insights. “Splendid
indeed! Your kid Alex finally opened up with me. It seems our wish for a great-grandchild is nearing!”
Excited, Jonah could not hide the grin on his face. “Haha! We were messing around back then. Who
would’ve known things are getting set in stone!”
“Hold your horses, buddy! We’re not supposed to rush these youngsters’ affairs. Sometimes, things
need time to develop or it’ll fall apart. Whether they can make it work entirely depends on them. And if it
doesn’t work out, I’m sure we can help mend things by then.”
Having reached an agreement, the two grandfathers were rapturous.
The next morning, it was only Alexander left in the dining room when Elise walked down the staircase.
Subconsciously, she slowed down her steps and took a glance at him. Strangely, she felt rather
agitated. Thereupon, she took a deep breath and collected her feelings before greeting, “Good
morning!”
In response, Alexander raised his head and looked at her. His brows obviously relaxed. “Morning.”
Then, Elise went over and pulled her chair out before sitting down. Seeing all her favorite breakfast
foods laid down in front of her, she took a couple of bites. Suddenly, Alexander stated, “Your
grandparents had me relay to you that they have something to take care of, so they left first and will
come back to visit you another time.”
Despite hearing that, Elise showed no surprise, as if she had already gotten used to Robin and Laura’s
tricks. She simply blurted an “oh” in acknowledgment before placing down her cutleries. “I’m done. I’m
off to class now.”
Unexpectedly, Alexander stopped her. “Hold up. I’ll send you.”
“Okay,” Elise replied. She casually walked in front of the line while Alexander closely followed beside
her. And so, the two exited the house in a line. After sending Elise to school, Alexander wasn’t in any
hurry to leave. He took out his phone and made a call. “Lily, are you done with the draft I had you do
last time?”
“Good morning, President Griffith. It is finished. I’ll send it over to your office shortly after.” After taking a
glimpse at the school gate, Alexander started his car and drove off.
Meanwhile, Elise had just walked into the school compound when her phone started vibrating. She
pulled it out from her pocket and saw a blinking red dot, which made her eyes sink. The red dot was a
secret signal between her and Jamie. Therefore, she hurriedly picked up her phone. “What’s wrong?”
With haste, Jamie said, “Boss, somebody has breached our security system. They’ve broken through
the fourth wall. If they were to break the fifth, all of our confidential information will be leaked!”
Elise revealed a frown. “How did this happen?”
Jamie knew nothing about the attack, except for the fact that it was too late when he realized it.
“Hurry over, Boss! I’m on the 16th floor of Ferry Building.”
Right after Jamie divulged the address, without any hesitation, Elise stormed out of the school gate
before stopping a cab and hurried over to Ferry Building.
At that moment, the entire 16th floor of Ferry Building was in turmoil. Jamie and the rest of the team
were doing all they could to fend off the attack. Unfortunately, the offenders were too strong, and the
team was in grave disadvantage.
Immediately, Jamie voiced an ultimatum, “Whatever it costs, hold them off, just for 15 minutes more!”
Drops of sweat were wetting the foreheads of the team’s technicians, fighting hard to defend their
territory. On the other hand, Elise started triangulating the location of the attackers while en route to
Ferry Building with her phone that was always with her. Sadly, apart from a cell phone’s technological
deficiency, the attackers were cunning enough and slipped out of Elise’s grasp.
When she finally arrived at Ferry Building, she sat down before a computer. Her fingers rapidly tapped
across the keyboard. Beside her was Jamie who held his breath as if the storm had passed. The
attackers seemed to be deliberately waiting for Elise with how they sent a series of digits to the team,
to which her commissures lifted as she brutally launched a counterattack toward the opponents’
security system and instantly penetrated through seven layers of defense.
Jamie silently clenched his fist and revealed a delighted face. In that instant, the screen in his eyes
turned blue. Shocked, Elise furiously slammed the keyboard. “F*ck! We got played!”
For the first time since forever, Elise found a rival in hacking, who appeared to have no intention to spar
with her. Rather, they simply wanted to fool around with her.
When the computer reactivated, it functioned properly as usual, as if the blue screen never occurred.
Elise speedily ran a check, only to find out that the offenders had vanished without a trace.
“What’s going on, Boss?”
Elise glared at Jamie, explaining, “We were targeted, but they don’t seem to be very hostile. Weird.
Based on the skills they possess, they could have demolished our security system with ease, but they
chose not to. It’s as if they’re doing this to draw our attention.”
Jamie was stunned. “But who could it be?”
Who else in this world could possess hacking skills that were even greater than Elise’s?
