Coolest Girl in Town, Chapter 427
“You’ll need to get married someday, Tania. I can’t protect you forever. Think about it-there are tons of wealthy women who wish to marry that man inside, but they don’t even have a chance to get close to him. Now that this chance is right before your eyes, are you sure you want to let it go just like that? As long as Alexander is on our side, I’ll get the chance to be the head of the Anderson Family. Our fates are tied together. You shouldn’t make rash decisions during such crucial times.” Russell made his intentions clear, and Tania would come off as a self-centered and ignorant person if she were to reject his request.
Therefore, Tania had no choice but to swallow all her afflictions and nod obediently. “Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t disappoint you.”
“That’s my girl. It’s all up to you now,” Russell uttered thoughtfully. After giving her a pat on the shoulder, he turned to leave. “Good luck, sis!” Daniel wore a gloating expression on his face as he walked off. Tania watched as the two figures disappeared down the alley, and she let out a long sigh before she returned to the house.
The moment she walked through the front entrance, she put all her worries aside and forced a pleasant smile onto her face. Even her footsteps seemed lighter as she made her way in. However, she realized that the front porch was completely empty once she got in. It had been filled with people earlier, but now there was no one left. It was as if they were trying to avoid her.
Tania was the precious child of the family, and she had been spoiled and pampered her whole life. She had never been neglected in the past! She felt a lump in her throat as tears began forming in her eyes. However, when she recalled Russell’s instructions, she forced her s**s back down her throat. Daddy’s right. Everyone has to go through some tough times in life. All of this won’t mean a thing when I achieve my goals and become better than everyone else. With my skills and traits, I’ll win Alexander over soon. No one’s going to look down on me then!
Tania no longer felt sad after that. If anything, she felt more determined than ever. She turned around and walked over to the backyard in search of Jeanie. “Mrs. Anderson, do you think I should share a room with Yoyo? I think that would help us get closer to each other, right?” Tania wore an innocent look as she spoke.
“No.” Jeanie rejected her immediately. “Yoyo doesn’t enjoy sharing her room with others.” The truth was that Elise didn’t like being bothered by others, but Jeanie made her explanation sound a little kinder as she thought that Tania was a relatively nice child. Well, can’t she tell that she isn’t welcome here? I can’t believe she’s shamelessly staying around. I wonder what’s going on in her head.
“If that’s the case…” Tania nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right, Mrs. Anderson. Why don’t I share a room with you, then?”
“No!” Jeanie felt a headache coming. “I don’t like sharing rooms either. You can find yourself an empty room!” she grumbled, feeling annoyed. Although Jeanie didn’t want grudges from the older generations to affect the younger generations, she simply couldn’t bring herself to like Tania whenever she thought about Russell. Jeanie’s gut feeling told her to stay away from Tania.
Jeanie’s words were precisely what Tania was waiting for, so Tania strode off with a grin on her face after that. Initially, Tania had assumed that Alexander was staying in one of the rooms in the current house, but she circled the area to realize that he was staying in the area next door. If that’s the case, then I won’t get a chance to get close to Alexander even if I stay with Elise, right? Tania’s footsteps came to a halt in the middle of the courtyard when she realized the issue she was facing.
Meanwhile, Elise was just about to head over to Valerie’s place to give her an acupuncture treatment when she bumped into Tania. “What are you doing here?” Elise asked in an icy tone.
Tania was caught by surprise, and her heart jolted when she turned around to look Elise in the eyes. It took Tania a while to gather herself. “Mrs. Anderson told me to pick my own room, but it looks like there aren’t any empty rooms here.” She tried her best to sound calm.
Elise thought about it for a while. She might be right. All six of the rooms are full since Claude took the last one. I don’t think this place can fit anyone else. “You can go over to stay with Maria,” Elise uttered flatly.
