Chapter 102,Coolest Girl in Town
Elise felt herself getting anxious, so she quickly changed their topic of conversation. “Linus mentioned
that there’ll be fireworks tonight. Let me bring you over to watch them.” Alexander nodded and followed
behind her as she led him onto a tiny pathway. After walking along the pathway for a while, they heard
noisesing from above them. Right after that, a spark of fire shot up into the sky before erupting
with a loud bang.
It spread out across the sky like arge flower blooming above them. Elise couldn’t help but exim
when she saw the fireworks. “It’s so beautiful!” He turned to look up at the sky. “Fireworks may be
pretty, but they onlyst for a short moment. Yet, it only takes the fireworks one short moment to unt
the most beautiful side of itself.”
The fireworks continued shooting up into the sky, with one bang quickly following the other. There were
all sorts of different-colored fireworks that painted the night skies. Once the fireworks ended, the sky
returned to its usual, quiet self. “It’s gettingte. Let’s go back,” Elise suggested.
Alexander looked away from the skies and checked the time. “Let’s go! We should get some rest.” After
they got back to the castle, Elise parted ways with Alexander and headed back to her room. The maid
showed Alexander to the guest room. The next morning, Elise woke up to find out that Alexander had
left early in the morning.
She was rather disappointed when she first heard the news from her maid, but she quickly recollected
herself. “What about Helen? Where is she?” Elise asked. The maid responded in a polite tone, “Helen’s
harvesting some grapes in the orchard. The grapes are all ripening now, so Helen thought that it’d be a
good idea to bring some back to make wine.”
Elise’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “I’ll go and help her!” She then hurried off to the orchard to find
everyone busy harvesting grapes. She grabbed a basket for herself before going over to help them out.
“These grapes look great, Helen.” Helen beamed when she saw the younger girl.
“Don’t bother, Miss Elise. Let me do the work.” Of course, Elise didn’t obey Helen’s orders. “It’s fine. Let
me help you.” Helen no longer stopped Elise after she saw how determined Elise was to help her. Both
of them got their own scissors, and they started harvesting the grapes. “That guy, Mr. Griffith, who
came yesterday…

He seems pretty decent! He looks like a noble, dignified and handsome man. I think he’s not bad!”
Helenmented as they worked. “He is pretty decent.” Elise agreed after hearing Helen’s praise for
Alexander. Helen turned to look at Elise then. “You’re getting close to the age for marriage, Miss Elise.
Perhaps you should start making some ns.”
Elise was rather embarrassed to talk about this. “What are you saying, Helen? I’m still young!” Helen
couldn’t help but giggle when she saw the bashful look on Elise’s face. “I think you should try dating.
However, it’s hard for someone as perfect as you to find a man who matches your standards, Miss
Elise.
Only someone as handsome and outstanding as Mr. Griffith could be a good match.” Elise quickly held
her hand up. “You can talk about me all you wish, but don’t drag him into this, Helen.” “I was just
making an offhandment. But I do think he’s a decent guy, Miss Elise,” Helen uttered.
Elise eyed the woman speechlessly. It looks like I’m never going to hear the end of this. “Regardless, I
think you should bring a guy home the next time you’re here, Miss Elise.” This time, Helen spoke in a
firm and serious manner while she stroked Elise’s hair. The older woman’s eyes were filled with
anticipation.
Elise understood Helen’s intentions, so she quicklyforted and reassured her. “Okay! Don’t worry,
Helen. I’ll make sure to bring a boyfriend over the next time I’m here.” Helen spread her lips into a
pleasant grin when she heard Elise’s words. “We’ll be waiting for your good news, then.”
After harvesting the grapes, the maids brought all of the baskets into the manor. “I’m leaving tomorrow,
Helen. I don’t know when I’ll being back again,” Elise uttered. Helen had a smile on her face
before that, but the smile faded once she heard Elise. “You just came back! Are you leaving already?
Can’t you stay for a few more days?” Elise gave Helen an apologetic look. “I have other matters to
handle here this time, so I can’t stay for long. When Ie back next round, I’ll make sure to spend
more time with both you and Linus.” Helen’s spirits were utterly dampened at that point, and she turned
to address Elise in a gloomy voice.
“Miss Elise, this manor belongs to you, and Linus and I are merely here to care for it temporarily. You’ll
have to take over someday.” Elise wrapped an arm around Helen’s shoulder. “I know, I know. I’m
thankful for all the help you and Linus have given me.
I’m afraid I’ll have to continue troubling you guys for a while.” Helen knew that she didn’t have the
power to stop Elise from leaving, so she no longer said anything else.
The next morning, Elise left the manor. Jamie was already at the location of the international race, and
Elise had to make her way there. … The annual French Grand Prix was about to begin. This was a
widely anticipated race by racers all over the world, and it was one of thergest races in the industry.
Each racer represented their own country, and most of the winners of this international race often shot
to fame once they won a title. They would be famous on a global scale. The international race
was held in a stadium in Paris that could fit up to 50,000 people. All of the spectators were from
different countries, but they all had one thing inmon—their love for race cars.
Elise and Jamie brought their tickets to the entrance. They both had tickets for Zone A, and Jamie
quickly called for Elise once he found nice spots. “Over here, Boss!” Both of them sat close to each
other as the rest of the spectators swarmed into the stadium. Soon enough, all the seats around them
were taken.
Therge stadium was extremely packed and lively. “Today’s just the preliminary round, Boss. The
seeded yer that we had our eyes on—the one from Germany—will be here today. However, I heard
that there’s also a racer from Cittadel who registered this year.
Apparently, his skills aren’t that great, and he might not even get past the preliminaries,” Jamie said.
Elise pressed her lips together. “Don’t worry. Thepetitors from Cittadel usually only reveal their full
potential at the end. Who knows what will happen? Let’s just watch the race.” The race officially began
at 7.00PM.
The theme song of the race yed through the speakers, and the crowd cheered excitedly when they
heard the song. Elise felt as if their excitement was contagious—a smile formed on her face as she
watched the crowd. She had enjoyed racing ever since she was young, and she loved speeding.
Back then, she somehow got the opportunity to register for an internationalpetition while she was
a transfer student in France. However, she hadn’t expected herself to perform so well—she won first
ce that year. Yet, the rules in her school prohibited her from joining racing activities.
After they threatened to expel her, she no longer joined any public racingpetitions. At most, she
would have some friendly matches with her peers. “Woah! Number 7 is doing well! I knew he was
good!” Jamie cried excitedly. Number 7 was the seeded yer that Jamie had been doing his research
on.
After the first grouppleted their races, Number 7 was announced as the first ce. “Boss, I think
he’s going to win the championship! Even if he doesn’t, I’m sure he’ll get top 3,” Jamie cried. Elise
didn’t agree to this.
“It’s too early for you to jump to conclusions. This is just the first group of racers—there are others who
haven’t gotten to race yet. I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting match.”
