Chapter 234 Bring My Grandson-In-Law Home for a Visit
“Sure, promise!” Elise smiled and she finally looked toward Jack. Seeing that he was still in disbelief, she wasn’t planning to explain much either. She simply asked, “Have you seen Alexander?” Jack instinctively shook his head. “I haven’t seen him the entire day. Ask Stella! She probably knows.” Jack quickly called for Stella. Surprisingly, Stella stared at Elise like she was a stranger. She even asked, “Who’s this lady here, Young Master Jack?” Elise smiled at Stella and said, “Stella, it’s me—Elise.” Stella visibly jolted at the sound of that. The woman usually got along quite well with Elise.
Even though Elise had a peculiar personality and had a habit of dressing up in strange fashion every day, Stella had in turn become quite used to that version of her. Right now, such a gorgeous woman was standing right in front of her, but she had the same exact voice as Elise. The two women bore so much of a difference that Stella had trouble believing they were the same person. “Did you say you’re… Miss Elise?” Elise nodded, but Stella was still in disbelief. “Miss, you’re kidding, right? Even though Miss Elise isn’t exactly the most beautiful woman out there, she’s very kind and she’s a nice lady.
On the other hand, you’re so pretty—this is too much of a difference compared to Miss Elise! How’s that possible?” “Stella, it’s really me!” Elise said sincerely. However, Stella still couldn’t believe her eyes. Has the ugly duckling really transformed into a swan? “I still don’t believe you, unless you tell me a secret that only me and Miss Elise would know about.” Elise smiled slightly. She quickly went up to Stella and whispered into her ear. The older woman was quite taken aback when she heard Elise’s words. “A-Are you really Miss Elise?” “Yes, Stella! It’s really me!”
“I… I can’t believe it… Miss Elise, did you get plastic surgery?” Elise shook her head with a smile. “No, it’s just that I used to dress myself up too… unfashionably. Anyway, this is the real me.” Though Stella wasn’t fully convinced by Elise’s explanation, she decided to believe that the person before her was indeed Elise. “Miss Elise, is there anything you need from me?” Elise answered immediately, “Where’s Alexander? Did he come home?”
Stella’s expression soured at the mention of Alexander. “Miss Elise, I’d almost forgotten to tell you about it. Young Master Alexander has gone overseas; he left in a hurry in the morning. Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Griffith got into an accident over there…” “What did you say? What happened to my parents?” Jack hastily butted in. Stella was initially planning to hide it from him, but she could no longer do so. Now, she had no choice but to tell the truth. “Mr. and Mrs. Griffith got into an accident in Yveltalia, and there hasn’t been any news of their whereabouts.
Young Master Alexander immediately arranged a private jet to fly him to Yveltalia upon hearing the news. He’s probably arrived by now. He even informed me to apologize to you on behalf of him before he left, Miss Elise.” Jack had already turned around by the time Stella was done speaking. He made his way to the main door in long strides. Elise quickly rushed up to him when she came back to her senses. “Jack! Where’re you going?” “I’m going to Yveltalia to find my parents.” “I’ll go with you,” Elise said without a second thought. Jack nodded. “Alright!”
