Chapter 377
Chapter 377 Adopted Child,Coolest Girl in Town
“Dad, don’t be upset. Everyone would want their kids to be there when they pass away! Death is
inevitable. The most important thing is to pass away with dignity, and we’vee back this time to
uphold your dignity. It would be your mistake if you didn’t appreciate our filial act.” Joshua maintained
his cheeky attitude without even regarding himself as an outsider. “You—” Robin was angered to the
point where he found himself out of breath and all of a sudden, his head spun. Clutching at his chest,
he keeled over. As soon as Elise and Alexander saw that, they rushed forward to support Robin and
they shifted him to the chaise.
Right after he was ced into a supine position, Elise swiftly took out the needles that were always on
her and lifted Robin’s left hand to poke him on the tip of his fingers. It was only after repeating that a
few times that Robin’s breathings gradually stabilized. Meanwhile, Joshua stretched his neck and
peered over. There was a sh of disappointment across his face upon realizing that Robin was fine.
“Look at you! You’re so frail. If I hadn’te back with Maureen, who else would be able to sort out the
funeral ns if something actually happened to you?” “Shut up!“ Elise rolled her eyes at him. “I’ve
tolerated your bullsh*t for long enough, and I’ll rip your tongue out if you continue to say another word!”
“How dare you interrupt when your elder is speaking?” Joshua lifted his chin proudly, exuding utter
confidence without a single bit of fear in him. “Do you think that you’re fit to be addressed as an elder?”
Elise had an indifferent expression on her face as she coldly mentioned, “Grandpa and Grandma are
my only family members. I don’t care who it is, but I’ll make sure that whoever dares to hurt them pay
the price!” “Ha!” Joshua snorted mockingly as he countered, “From what you just said, do you mean
that you’re going to teach me a lesson? Well, I don’t think that an outsider like you would be able to
stop me from returning to my own home!” Meanwhile, Robin’s eyes widened upon hearing the word
‘outsider’ and he struggled hard to lift his hand.
Then, he pointed to Joshua by the doorway and he weakly muttered, “Y-You’d better shut your mouth!”
“Why should I shut my mouth? That darn girl should be the one to shut up!” Joshua arrogantly spat at
Elise. “Darn it! Who do you think you are anyway?! You’re just an adopted child and an outsider with a
differentst name! How dare you behave so insolently in someone else’s house!” Upon hearing that,
Elise clenched her fists by the side of her body tightly and there was a restrained look that crossed her
face. She gritted her teeth and tried toe up with a retort but in the end, she didn’t utter a single
word. He’s right. No matter what, he’s the son of the Sinir Family so they are rted by blood.
Blood’s thicker than water, so perhaps Grandpa and Grandma do care about their biological son the
most. On the other hand, Alexander was pained as he saw something sh across Elise’s face, and the
last time he had seen that was during their encounter with Madeline. And so, he was adamant that he
would not stand by and do nothing. In the end, Alexander walked over to stand by Else and he
wrapped his broad, warm hand around her tightly clenched fist and he eximed loudly, “The future
lady of Griffith Group can choose to act recklessly however she wants.
Mr. Sinir, do you have a bone to pick with my fiancée?” “The Griffith Group?” Joshua’s expression
turned upon hearing that and he asked quite materialistically, “Do you mean thepany of the Griffith
Family from Tissote? Are you the one leading thepany?” “That’s me.” Alexander puffed out his
chest but he didn’t bother to say much. However, his imposing manner was exuded quite naturally.
Meanwhile, Joshua stared at Alexander scrutinizingly before nodding as he had already weighed out
the pros and cons. “Alright, then. Since that’s the case, I won’t take offense against this brat!” Joshua
purposely reacted magnanimously as he reassured Alexander.

Subsequently, he nced at Elise and warned, “You should be thankful that you found such a great
guy!” Although Joshua had left town at an early age, the Griffith Family was well-renowned to be one of
the noble families in Tissote and it was unwise to cross their path. This was why he deemed it
eptable to give Alexander some leeway. It will make it much easier to interact with him once I inherit
the Sinir Family business after the two old folks pass away. Just then, Elise had neared her
tolerance level for Joshua’s smugness, so she suddenly exerted force and was about to take action
against him. However, instantly after that, Alexander pressed lightly on her shoulders to signal her to
keep her calm.
In response, Elise paused in her tracks as she heard Alexander’s voice rang out from next to her. “I
think you’ve made a mistake. I was the one who pursued Elise. She wasn’t the one that made the
move. I would kill for her to marry me right now so whatever she wants to do or whatever she’s after, I
will definitely achieve it for her.” Alexander paused for a moment upon saying that and he revealed a
sly smile. “Even if I have to kill someone for her, I would not hesitate at all.” He put emphasis on hisst
sentence and every single word he mentioned spoke volumes. Meanwhile, Joshua looked at
Alexander, who had a half-smile on his face, and the former suddenly felt quite uneasy for some
reason.
After all, Alexander was used to being decisively merciless in the corporate world and his domineering
aura overpowered Joshua despite thetter’s age. I’m back for the family fortune, so it would be
worthless if I lost my life, As soon as Joshua realized that, he chuckled cheekily. “Ha! President Griffith,
you must be joking. We’re a family so there’s no need to resort to any killing. There’s no need for that.”
Joshua said that with a nce at Elise before raising a hand to p himself on the mouth. “I’m sorry,
Elise. It’s my fault for not watching my words. Please don’t take those words to heart. It doesn’t matter
whether you were adopted or not. We’re all part of the Sinir Family, right?”
Elise, however, was used to Joshua’s lowly behavior. Although she was tempted to strike him to teach
him a lesson, she was much more concerned about identally triggering Robin so in the end, she
didn’t say a word and turned around to go andfort the elderly man. “Grandpa, you need plenty of
rest right now and you shouldn’t lose your temper.” “Gosh!” Robin frowned and heaved a sigh. “Elise,
don’t you take what that scoundrel said—” Before Robin could finish his sentence, Elise had already
mentioned expressionlessly, “I knew about that earlier on.” Robin’s expression stiffened when he heard
that and after quite some time, he finally came to his senses. Significantly stunned, he asked, “W-
What?!
Howe?” We kept this a secret for so many years and it was a well-kept secret, so how did she find
out?! At that point, Elise calmly ced a nket on him and she spoke as she covered him with it.
“There was once when you spoke to Grandma and you guys brought it up by ident. I heard the
conversation then.” Suddenly, Robin was unable to contain himself as he felt quite guilty and pained.
After quite some time, he finally managed to utter, “Ellie, your grandma and I have always regarded you
as our own granddaughter!” “I know that,” Elise replied matter-of-factly.
“And it’s the same for me. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Meanwhile, Robin heaved a sigh without saying a
word. He knew Elise quite well and she was generally one who kept everything to herself. It was quite
likely that this incident would result in herpletely mming up. Just then, Robin lifted his head to
stare at the ceiling. Suddenly, he recalled something and he nced toward Alexander with a hopeful
look.
Ellie is quite taken by him so perhaps from now on, he could be her support. Behind the side-door,
Jeanie stood astonished against the wall with her mouth agape. She had heard every single word quite
clearly. Elise isn’t the Sinirs’ biological granddaughter and she was adopted! Yoyo? Could she
possibly be my Yoyo?!
