The Centurion Card of the Griffith Family was limitless.
Grandpa is actually giving it to Elise? This is outrageous! She just got first place in some lousy mathematics competition. Does she deserve this?
However, Jonah ignored him and waved to Elise. “Come here, Ellie.”
She froze for a moment, but she walked over obediently. “Hi Grandpa.”
“Take this, Ellie!” He then placed the card into her hands. “This is my present for you. I‘m too old to know what young people like nowadays so if you need anything, you can buy it yourself now.”
Looking at the Centurion Card, Elise knew very well how important this was.
“Grandpa, I can‘t accept this. It‘s too much for me.”
“Silly girl! Nothing is too much. I only know that my girl deserves the best.”
“But Grandpa…
“That‘s enough, Ellie. You should be happy that you got first place. I already made arrangements to hold a celebration party for you and everyone will gather to celebrate your success. Apart from that, you can also invite your friends here so that they can also celebrate with you.”
Danny‘s eyes widened upon seeing how his grandfather was treating Elise. He wanted to say something, but he could not win against Jonah‘s enthusiasm. In the end, he just pouted as he vented all his grievances in the group chat.
‘I can‘t take this anymore! Grandpa actually gave that country bumpkin a Centurion Card GTO‘
Jack, who was on a film set shooting a movie, sent a series of voice messages into the chat.
“You were defeated this time around. Does it hurt your pride?”
Danny then replied, “I‘m miserable, but I‘m not going to cry over this.”
At that, Jack laughed out loud. “Ha! In the future, you have to address Elise as your boss, yet you still call her country bumpkin now. You need to change your habits soon.”
Matthew also chimed in, “Grandpa wants to organize a celebration party for her and he invited many established people from different industries. It‘s quite a grand party.”
“See, this is the treatment you get if you are his biological grandchild” Jack replied. “It seems like us brothers are adopted by him instead. I wouldn‘t even be that hurt if there wasn‘t any comparison. By the way, I have some shows to shoot that day, so I‘ll go back later. Do send my regards to Grandpa”
Matthew then murmured, “Alright, what about you? Do you have time to come back?”
Then, he tagged Alexander.
However, Jack said, “Don‘t message him now. He has been troubled for the past few days. I bet he doesn‘t have time to even look at his phone. I‘ll tell him myself tomorrow.”
Then, Matthew replied, “Sure.”
In fact, Alexander had already seen the messages and he knew that Elise had gotten first place at the
st that he was not in a good mood for the past few days and he did
Mathematics Olympiad. It not even congratulate her.
“Young Master Alex, we have already investigated the matter. However, we have no clue why we can‘t find any traces at all. Apart from that, all the data from the surveillance camera that day had disappeared. Obviously, someone has done something to it so that we can‘t find out about it.”
Cameron reported the results of their investigation to Alexander honestly, but the latter merely looked out of the French windows without uttering a word.
“We also looked into Jamie‘s side, but he is keeping quiet. Apart from that, we told him before that we couldn‘t have any further connections, so we can‘t find anything that is useful from his side.”
Cameron‘s eyes darkened at the mention of that matter. “We have already investigated this. Someone did something to your brakes, but that person seemed to have disappeared from the world without a single trace. I already asked people to find out more about him in his hometown and I bet we will get some results soon.”
