Chapter 108,Coolest Girl in Town

Alexander knew that it was cruel, but it was the truth! “Grandpa, you’ve taught us the importance of unity ever since we were young. Unity is what makes the family grow and flourish—I’ve always kept those words in my heart. However, this incident taught me a huge lesson, and it nearly ended the entire Griffith Group.”

Jonah’s breaths grew even more shallow as he listened to what Alexander had to say. With the swing of his hand, he sent the teacups on the table smashing onto the ground. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Clink! Clang! The glass shattered on the floor. “B*stards! All of those b*stards!” Jonah howled in anger. Alexander hastily attempted to calm him down. “I only told you about this today to keep you updated on the situation, Grandpa. Right now, I already have plans to deal with this, and I hope you can trust me to follow through with my plan.” Jonah understood what Alexander meant immediately. “I have no objections. He did such a terrible thing that even I wouldn’t allow him to get away with it.

However, I have to remind you that he’s still your biological brother. Although you guys don’t share the same mother, you guys have the same blood coursing in your veins. You should know your limits— that’s the final piece of decency that we can extend to him.” “I understand, Grandpa.” Jonah sighed.

“I’ve never had to worry about you ever since you were a child, Alexander. I trust you a lot, and I feel safe handing a company as large as Griffith Group to you. You can go ahead with your plan, and you can always let me know if there’s anything that you can’t handle.” “Alright, Grandpa,” Alexander replied. Jonah seemed extremely drained at that point. “Okay, go on then! You should handle this matter now.”

Alexander excused himself, and Jonah was left alone in the large hall. He gazed up at the ceiling above his head as he sighed. “Karma is real!” When Elise got back to Griffith Residence, she instantly sensed the distinct heaviness in the household. She bumped into Alexander, who was walking out as

she entered the house. “How are things in the company now?” She was the first to initiate conversation. Alexander gave her a look that calmed her down.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” “Do you need any help?” she asked. He was about to reject her, but he surprised himself by nodding after he saw the anticipation in her eyes. Elise quickly followed him after seeing his response. Once they got in the car, Alexander handed her a stack of documents. “I need you to organize these documents. I’ll need it for a meeting today.” Elise flipped the files open and began to go through them without asking much.

She put her full focus on reading the documents, and she held a pen in her hand to highlight the parts that were important. Alexander felt rather glad to see her so focused. “How are things at the company, Cameron?” Cameron hesitated for a moment before speaking. “A few of our larger clients went off with Young Master Matthew, and they requested to terminate their contracts with us.

Some of the workers in the company are still on the fence about leaving or staying, but I didn’t meddle with their business since you told me not to do anything.” Alexander nodded. “Let’s prepare for the worst. I think our shares will crash tomorrow.” Cameron was shocked to hear this. Many of our business partners have terminated their contracts with Griffith Group. We are about to face one of the largest challenges ever.

If the company fails to pull through, it might be destroyed by this incident. “I want you to tell all the staff that they don’t need to work overtime tonight. Tell them to get off work on time!” Alexander ordered. “I’m afraid that might be tough, President Griffith. If all of them end work on time, how is the company going to continue operating? Things will get really messy,” Cameron replied hastily. However, Alexander seemed unfazed by his words.

“We can think about that when the mess comes to us.” Cameron couldn’t tell what Alexander was trying to achieve, so he had no choice but to follow Alexander’s orders. “I got it, President Griffith. I’ll make the announcement now.” As Elise organized the files, she went through all of the clients who

were related to Griffith Group. Many of these companies of various sizes once had long-term contracts with Griffith Group, yet all of them were requesting to end the contract after the incident.

Elise would never have believed such a thing to be true if she hadn’t seen the papers on her own. A specific company caught her eye all of a sudden. The Keller Group? Isn’t that Jamie’s family business? Are they ending their contract with Griffith Group as well? Does Jamie know something about this? Elise didn’t hesitate, not even for a second, to give Jamie a call. “Jamie!” Jamie was in the midst of playing a video game, but he didn’t mind abandoning his teammates when he saw that the call was from Elise. “It’s so late, Boss. Are you calling me for something?”

She got straight to her point. “I have some questions for you.” Jamie immediately understood her intentions after hearing her words. “You’re calling to ask about Griffith Group, right, Boss?” When Elise confirmed his suspicions, Jamie looked around before getting up and walking to the balcony. “If you’re asking about this, I’d like to tell you that I wasn’t aware of it before this, Boss. However, my old man told us that the news cannot be leaked to the public.

I’m only telling you about this because you’re my boss. Things aren’t as simple as they appear to be on the surface—Alexander isn’t just dealing with Matthew alone. I think it’s possible that Matthew’s act was just a distraction. I think the Griffith Family needs to be really alert. They shouldn’t ruin their sibling relations over such matters.” Elise’s gaze darkened as a possibility surfaced in her mind. When she noticed that Jamie didn’t seem willing to share anything else, she no longer probed for more information.

“Thank you, Jamie.” After ending the call, Elise organized the thoughts in her mind before coming to a conclusion. No matter what happens, I refuse to just stand around and watch when Griffith Group is in trouble. I can’t bear to watch the company falling apart. The next day, Griffith Group’s stocks continued to stay low, and they crashed all the way down when the stock markets opened. Many of the

shareholders had dumped their Griffith Group shares. Earlier that morning, many different companies had approached Griffith Group to end their contracts.

When Elise arrived at the company, she could tell that the whole atmosphere was different from before. There were empty seats all around the area. Her expression turned grim as she walked to Alexander’s room and knocked on his door. “Come in,” the voice said from inside. Elise let herself in after hearing Alex’s voice. “You’re here,” he commented after looking up and staring at her. Elise watched the man before her eyes.

He’s still as powerful and high-spirited as ever. Even during such a time, he isn’t panicking or losing his mind. His calmness makes me feel safe. “I’ve arranged all of the documents needed for the meeting. There are a few new client appointments and I’ve put them into your schedule too.” “Thanks a lot,” he replied with a smile. She didn’t ask or say anything else, but merely gave him a smile before leaving the room.

Throughout the day, Elise was extremely busy as she took many matters into her hands. She was someone who had to ensure the quality of her work, and she quickly lost track of time as she was too immersed in her work. She didn’t stop to rest even after the sun went down. It was nearly 11.00PM, and most of the other people in the company had left. The only room still well-lit was the office on the highest floor.

When Alexander walked out of his office, he saw Elise with her head resting against the table as she took a nap. He instinctively slowed his footsteps to tiptoe around the office, just so that he wouldn’t wake her up. He slowly made his way toward her, and he glanced down at her sleeping face from above. At that moment, he felt his heart melting for her.
