Chapter 159
Chapter 159,Coolest Girl in Town
Elise felt Alexander was behaving a little weird today. The way he looked at her was as if he had
something to tell her, but he had not spoken up even after the dinner was over. As such, Elise thought
she might have overthought. After going back to her room, Elise switched on theputer and a new
email notification popped up. Then, she clicked into it and saw it was an email from the director of the
children’s home. The email provided an update of the children’s situation and the previous month’s
statement of cash flow was also attached in it.
Elise nced through it and thought everything looked fine, so she closed the mailbox thereafter. At the
same time, she received a call from the children’s home. “Hi, Miss Elise, the children are missing you.
It’ll be great if you can make some time toe and visit them.” Elise had not gone to visit the children
over this period when she was at Athesea. She nced at the calendar and realized it was the
weekend tomorrow, so she agreed dly.
“It’s my day off tomorrow. I’ll be there.” The director was ted to hear her response. “I’m sure the
children will be overjoyed to know this. We’ll see you tomorrow then, Miss Elise.” The next morning,
Elise put together a casual outfit. “Miss Elise, are you heading out?” a servant asked thoughtfully. Elise
didn’t want Robin to worry about her, so she answered, “Yeah, I have some matters to attend to. If
Grandpa asks about me, please tell him that I’ve gone to Angel Children Home at Downtown North,
and that I’ll be back by afternoon.” “Alright. Please take care, Miss Elise.”
After leaving home, Elise first hailed a cab to the supermarket to buy some toys, snacks and books for
the children. She bought so many things that the car boot was filled up to the max. Then, the cab driver
sent Elise to the welfare home. The moment the children saw Elise walk in with bags of supplements in
her hands, they ran up to her in excitement. “Hi, Elise. I’ve missed you so much!” “You’re finally here,
Elise!” Looking at the children, Elise beamed from ear to ear. “I’ve missed y’all too. Come and look at
what I’ve bought for you.” Elise distributed the snacks and toys to the children, who were all overjoyed
to receive the gifts.
While they thanked Elise, the director came out. “Oh, Miss Elise, you’re too kind to always bring us so
much stuff whenever youe.” Elise held the director’s arm intimately when she saw her. “Not at all,
Madam Ruth. These are just some small gifts for the children.” Back then when Elise’s parents passed
away, it was Ruth who took her in kindly until her grandparents came and fetched her home. She had
always remembered Ruth’s kindness toward her, so she would contribute some money to the children’s
home ande back to visit them every year.
“We really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks to your support for these past years, these kids are able to
live in such a decent environment. I thank you on behalf of the kids.” “Hey, Elise,e and y with
us!” Just then, two children came to grab Elise, and so Elise went to y with them. Little did she know
that at this moment, Alexander was winding down his car window slowly outside the children’s home.
Looking at Elise who was having a good time with the children, he felt surprised and bizarre. Normally,
he only saw her being both serious and yful, but he had never seen her this joyful before.
He couldn’t help but be moved by the bright smile on Elise’s face and her genuine joy. “Shall we go in,
President Griffith?” Cameron asked. Alexander retracted his gaze and said, “There’s no need. Let’s
head back to the office. Next time, send some supplies to this children’s home in the name of our
company.” “Yes, sir.” Thereafter, the car was driven away. Elise, who was ying with the children,
lifted her eyes suddenly, but all she could see was a car that was disappearing. As such, she was not
bothered by it and continued ying with the children.

On the other hand, joy spread across Ruth’s face as she watched Elise and the children having a great
time. Later, she had a chat with Elise and told her about the recent situation at the children’s home.
“Winter ising soon. I’m afraid the heating supplies here are not enough—this winter might be a
hard one for the kids.” Hearing that, Elise quickly said, “Please buy more equipment if the heating
supplies are insufficient. We can’t let the children suffer.” Ruth nodded but seemed to have something
else to say. Seeing that, Elise spoke up, “Madam Ruth, please, feel free to tell me if there’s any
concern.
I’ll surely do my best to help.” Ruth answered in all honesty, “Miss Elise, frankly speaking, you’ve
helped so much that I can’t bring myself to ask for your help anymore, but the current expense of the
children’s home is just too much and I really can’t afford to upgrade the heating supplies.” Elise more or
less understood Ruth’s meaning. She pulled Ruth’s hand over and said, “Please don’t worry and leave
this to me. I’ll try my best to get the heating supplies before winteres.” Ruth’s eyes became red-
rimmed as she heard that. “Miss Elise, words can’t express how grateful I am toward you.
I thank you once again on behalf of the children for your kindness to them.” “It’s all going to be fine,
Madam Ruth.” After leaving the children’s home, Elise went back to the Griffith Residence and checked
the bnce in her bank ount. There were only tens of thousands in her ount, which was
definitely not enough to upgrade the heating supplies. Elise caught a glimpse of the Centurion Card
that Jonah had given her, but she directly ignored it as she had no intention of using it. Then, she kept
away the card and thought she should think of a way to earn some money before winter came so that
she could upgrade the heating supplies for the children.
At this thought, Elise was reminded of the national racingpetition which Jamie mentioned before.
She was rather moved by the cash prize of ten million. If she could win the prize, all the problems
would be solved. And so, Elise quickly gave Jamie a call. “Hey, Jamie, please send me all the rted
information about the national racingpetition which you mentionedst time.” Jamie had not
expected that Elise would actually ask for the information about thepetition. “Boss, do you n to
participate in thepetition?” he asked.
Elise hummed in response, hearing which Jamie was overjoyed. “Sure! Give me a minute. I’ll send the
information to you via email immediately.” Shortly after the call was hung up, Elise received a new
email. She quickly opened the email and nced through the details of thepetition. The structure
was rather straightforward—every participant would take part in a total of three rounds of the
competition.
The overall champion would be awarded the cash prize of ten million. Nevertheless, when Elise
continued reading the content, she was surprised to see Alexander’s name in the list of racers invited,
which was appended at the bottom of the email. “What?! Is he entering thepetition too?” Elise
murmured. Then, she called Jamie and asked, “Hey Jamie, what’s wrong with Alexander?”
