Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381 Abdication,Coolest Girl in Town

Adam had been frowning since the moment Elise and Alexander walked in, but when he heard his son’s prompting, he let out a weary sigh. Then, he slowly looked up at Alexander and asked hesitantly, “I’ve always had faith in your capabilities, son, but now that things have come to this… I think it’s best if you explain yourself to your uncles.” “And why should I?” 

 

Alexander countered coolly. “They never wanted me to explain myself when they were profiting off my management, but suddenly a little crisis comes along and I’m expected to face the gallows? I had no idea that the Griffiths are bottom-feeders who switch sides when it’s convenient to do so.”

“Who do you think you’re talking to, boy? Watch your mouth!” the man from earlier barked angrily. He obviously spoke on behalf of those who were restless and disapproving of Alexander’s recent business maneuvers.

As the man stood up, he exasperatedly slammed the table while furiously adding, “Even your grandfather did not disrespect us like this when he was alive, Alexander, but here you are, thinking you’re above us now that you’ve taken his place! Let me make one thing clear: we only came today because we want you to choose—are you going to keep our best interests at heart, or are you going to give up everything for that woman?

I suggest you carefully think about this!” Alexander chuckled darkly. “I see that my grandfather’s altruism has given you a false sense of achievement.” There might be underlying complexities to the Griffths’ corporate and family interests, but one thing was for sure: without Jonah at the heart of it all, the others would not be doing as well as they now did.

The distant relatives would never have attained their fortune without the Griffiths, but now, it seemed that they were intent on using their status to force the Griffith Family’s hand.
