Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 I Want to Hear What You Think,Coolest Girl in Town
The power struggle between the Griffith Group and Olson Pharmaceuticals was getting heated, and while Alexander had been careful not to bring this up in front of the rest of the Griffiths, it didn’t stop them from worrying either. With immense pressure from the family, Adam had no choice but to have Alexander return home so they could get to the bottom of the brewing business war. Alexander had wanted to keep Elise out of the murky situation, but her insistence had worn him down and he eventually agreed to let her participate in the Griffiths’ family conference.
Upon arriving at the Griffith Residence, Elise and Alexander saw that nearly everyone in the family had turned up and there were even a few unfamiliar faces. They had all squeezed themselves into the living room and seemingly filled up every available space. These were all relatives whose livelihoods depended on the success of the Griffiths and Griffith Group.

When Jonah had been in charge, his authority had overpowered any rumor or threat that loomed over the company’s reputation. However, now that Alexander had taken over his grandfather’s place, the sudden and seismic shifts that happened were making everyone uneasy.

In particular, they had heard from some unconfirmed sources that the only reason why Alexander was waging war against the Olson Family was because he wanted to avenge his fiancée; while this alone did not sit well with the rest of the Griffiths, there were also some who started to question his ability to lead the company. After all, none of them cared about a woman’s dignity and they certainly didn’t think it was worth gambling on the family fortune. As such, they treated Elise as the cause of all this and her faults far outweighed Alexander’s lapse of judgment.

Presently, as she walked into the house, everyone—even the most distant of the Griffiths who had never met her before—eyed her with unadulterated hostility. If looks could kill, she would have died from a thousand cuts the moment she walked past the threshold.

 

Meanwhile, upon noticing his family’s unfriendly gaze, Alexander blinked and took Elise’s hand in his. He was unfazed and his gestures were slow and steady. He had as good as told everyone that Elise was his woman, his only choice, and anyone who dared to scorn her would do well to remember their place.
