Chapter 17

Alexander gazed down at Elise who was in his arms. The young woman's lips were pale and herforehead was beaded with cold sweat. Her groans sounded painful yet tender, and she seemed tobe in a muddled state of

mind with her eyes squeezed shut. However, her hands were still grabbing onto his shirt tightly.

In fact, Elise only intentionally provoked Nicole with her words when she vaguely heard noises ofdoors being

opened outside earlier. And it turned out that she was right. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.comShe.let out a long, sharp hiss. Right now, her face was still quite painful.

Alexander put her down on the back seat of the car. When he spoke, his voice was surprisinglygentle. “Do you... need to go to the hospital?”

“There's no need for that.” Elise was a little shocked.

Alexander frowned momentarily and sent her back to the Griffith Residence without saying anythingmore.

When she was back in her room, Elise finally whipped out the phone she hid in her clothes and sawthe explosion

of text messages that Jamie had sent her.

“Are you okay, Boss? Have you been rescued?’

Elise replied, “That I have, but it wasn't a small price to pay in exchange for it!

Jamie sent her a crying emoji along with the text, “That's awful, Boss! Is there anything I can helpwith?"

Elise made a call after taking care of her energetic lackey.

The receiver sounded very angry when she picked up the call. It was as though she was the one whohad

suffered through the incident. “Nicole Snyder, was it? I'll take care of it right away, Ellie..."

“Thanks a lot, then!” Elise replied sweetly in a cute voice.

“By the way, Ellie, I'll be visiting an old friend in Athesea quite soon, so I'd love to see you as well thewoman on

“Sure, sure. I'll bring you around and we'll have fun together.”

Just then, a knock sounded on her door. Elise put away her phone and curiously opened the door.What came

into view was the face of a man as cold as ice.

“Here's the patient, doctor, Please take a look at her.”

“Miss Sinclair, right? May I come in?” Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com

"Yes, of course.” Elise didn't want to reject the family doctor when she saw him holding bags ofequipment in his

arms, so she could only let him inside.

The doctor briefly took care of Elise’s injuries and prescribed her some medicine after making surethat she was fine. “It's nothing serious for now. You'll be fine after some medicine, but we can do afull check-up if something comes up in the future.”

Elise hastily sent off the doctor. “All right, thank you for the trouble. Bye!”

The doctor then left promptly. Now, Alexander and Elise were left alone in awkwardness. He said allof a sudden, “Were you on the phone with someone earlier?”

Elise pretended to be clueless about it. “Oh, that? It was just a spam call.”

Alexander knew that he wouldn't get any answers out of her and said, “Give me your phonenumber, then. That way, I can be more efficient when you need anything in the future.” Daily latestupdate www.Noveljar.com

“Sure, sure” Elise quickly agreed in order to make Alexander leave her room as soon as possible.Elise took Alexander's phone and her slender fingers tapped quickly on the screen for a fewmoments. Then, she

shoved the phone back to him. “Good night, Alexander.”

Alexander didn't want to stay long when he saw her grinning face. "Remember to take yourmedicine.”

After being forced to leave, he went straight to his study. At the same time, he received a call fromhis assistant. “No one’s home at the Snyders’, President Griffith. How odd-could they have fledahead of time?"

It's just been a few hours and the Snyders are nowhere to be found. Who could've gotten the news soquickly and

struck first?

He recalled Elise being on the phone earlier. She was speaking in such a light and cheerful tone; itwas obvious

that it wasn't a spam call. Besides, the way she was so secretive about it meant that something wasdefinitely

fishy.

His assistant continued, “Should we continue looking into it?”

Alexander lowered his eyes as he replied, “Don't look into the Snyders for now. Do a backgroundcheck on Elise Sinclair instead.”
