    Chapter 8,Coolest Girl in Town


    “I…” Elise felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head. She had imagined the scenario of someone


    discovering what she really looked like, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon! What do I do


    now? she thought. Matthew stared at Elise’s face thoughtfully as several possibilities crossed his


    mind. It’s her. Is she the real Elise? Did she change her appearance? Or is this what she looks like


    after doing so?


    Elise was kind of creeped out by Matthew’s stare. Nevertheless, she tried to keep calm. “Why don’t we


    have a talk first, Young Master Matthew?” “Okay.” “Well, pleasee in first.” Elise opened the door


    with a soft sigh of relief. Matthew put down the clothes in his hand while asking curiously, “Anyway,


    may I ask you a question before we talk?” He doesn’t mince his words. Great. I can save some effort


    talking to the smarter ones, Elise thought. “


    You want to ask me why I changed my appearance, right?” she asked. Seeing that Matthew nodded,


    she curled her lips and said slowly, “Because I hate the idea of an arranged marriage, that’s why.” “It


    seems you and I have the same goal, Miss Sinir.” “Oh?” Elise responded in confusion. Why would


    Matthew object to an arranged marriage that would do the Griffiths a lot of good?


    She didn’t understand what was on his mind. But who cares? It’s none of my business, she thought.


    Taking the opportunity, she said, “In that case, can you help me keep this a secret, Young Master


    Matthew? Don’t worry. I won’t let you do it for nothing. I’ll help you once in return.” “You can’t help me.


    No one can help me with what I want to do,” Matthew replied in self-mockery.


    Nevertheless, he did her a favor, saying, “Okay, I promise you.” “Thanks.” Suddenly recalling that he


    was here to bring her clothes, Matthew pointed to the clothes on the table and said, “Be careful next


    time. There’d be no remedying the situation if someone else discovers what you really look like. For


    now, get changed. I’ll be waiting for you outside. We’ll be going downstairs together when you’re done.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Elise thanked him again before taking the clothes into the room. She looked at the clothes in her hand


    in utter disgust. Such a velvety dress wasn’t her style at all, but she couldn’t care less about this right


    now. She put on the evening dress before looking smugly at herself in the mirror.


    Still, I look good in anything, she thought. Then, she opened the door lightly. When she saw no one


    else outside other than Matthew, she heaved a sigh of relief. “I have to go to the dressing room. Please


    wait for me a little longer.” Matthew saw her hair loosely pulled up in a bun and the pinkness showing


    through her wlessly fair skin. For some reason, his heart fluttered for a moment.


    “Okay.” Elise speedily ckened her face in front of the mirror and then carefully drew a few moles on


    it. After that, she went downstairs with Matthew in satisfaction. …… The room burst into roaring


    laughter as soon as the pair came downstairs. “Geez, what does this ugly monster mean by doing this?


    How could she have the gall to imitate Miss Lawson?” “Yeah, that’s right!


    The contrast makes her look even uglier than she was just now!” Elise roughly figured out what had


    happened when she saw Ashlyn’s dress. Ashlyn said in a false disy of kindness, “No, it’s not like


    that. This is the first time Elise is attending such a grand party, so I picked her evening dress myself.


    She wasn’t imitating me on purpose.” Then, adding fuel to the fire, she said to Elise, “This is the best


    evening dress I’ve chosen for you.


    Too bad it doesn’t match your style, though. I’ll have one tailor-made for you next time.” What a


    conniving b*tch! Who’s she putting up such a charade for? Who cares about this darn piece of


    clothing! Elise thought. Seeing that Elise was silent, Katie felt like showing her who the boss was.


    “What an ugly copycat you are, Elise!” Matthew frowned. He warned, “Please watch what you speak,


    Miss Moss.” Upon hearing this, Katie was instantly ovee with jealousy. Sounding even more


    arrogant, she taunted, “Country bumpkins like you are in a league of your own, huh?


    Did you put Young Master Matthew on some kind of magic drug? The Griffith siblings are out of your


    league, though, so don’t get carried away by his kindness.


    Stop kidding yourself and hankering after something that’ll never be yours. Know your ce!” Elise


    shot back with a sneer, “I’ve always known my ce. You, on the other hand, in what capacity are you


    saying that to me, Miss Moss?”
