Chapter 369 Let Him Take Care of Them for the Time Being,Coolest Girl in Town

If looks could kill, Amelia would be nothing but ashes at this point. “Who would have thought that evenup to this day, you guys could still catch wind of Mr. York so fast?” Amelia muttered sarcastically.Ingratiating with the powerful and looking down at the weak was a norm among the upper-class society.Now that the Griffith Family was at a disadvantage, most people would stand by the sidelines and goso far as to avoid mentioning them. Truth was, Elise had acquired the news about Nathan’s arrival via aspecial channel, but Alexander didn’t mind the process.

All he knew was that this would be a battle that the two of them would be facing together as one. Hesqueezed Elise on her shoulder and took the initiative to walk past them from the side, having nointention to be held up by Johan and Amelia. “Mr. Hayden!” Amelia suddenly called out to the lobbymanager. “These two people are going to barge in and disturb your valuable customers without makingan appointment. Are you going to just stand and watch?” What she said put Mr. Hayden on the spot.Both parties were people he couldn’t afford to offend. He initially had planned to turn a blind eye onthem and the matter would have passed, but now that Amelia had dragged him into it, he wouldn’t beable to be out of the picture without making a choice between them.

However, one wouldn’t require much contemplation when it came to making a choice between theOlson Family Clan, who was strong in the share market and various aspects, and the Griffith Family,who was suffering a huge loss and was neglected by many at the moment. After some consideration,Mr. Hayden went up to Alexander and Elise, thereafter blocking their way. “I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith. Youknow how things work here. The customer staying in the penthouse dislikes any visits.” “What if I insiston going up?” Alexander’s expression sank and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. “Mr.Griffith, please don’t put us on the spot.” Mr. Hayden bowed his head before he raised his hand togesture to the other hotel staff to come over to block the hallway.

It was apparent that Alexander wouldn’t be able to go in unless he did it by force. “It seems like you tworefuse to accept the reality that the Griffith Family is now nothing!” Amelia mocked, her tone gloating. Awicked smile played at the corner of Johan’s lips as he walked up to Elise. Then, he made a few turnsaround her while his malicious gaze roamed all over her body as he offered, “Miss Sinclair, if you arewilling to say a few nice things to me, I’m more than happy to give you a hand and allow you to take alook at the penthouse. What do you say?” “Save your breath.”

A hint of impatience appeared in Elise’s eyes as she eyed him with narrow eyes. “If you look at me withthat perverted gaze for another second longer, I swear I will destroy them!” Being well-aware of howfierce Elise was in character, Johan shrank backward as his heart leapt into his mouth. Although thewoman seemed tender and weak, she exuded an intimidating presence when she decided to go all out.However, men were like cats, a creature that had the courage to do absolutely anything as long as itwasn’t life-threatening. This was why when Johan remembered that the Olson Family Clan was at anadvantage at the moment, the urge to stir something up overtook him again. He let out a cold chuckleand continued to lock his pervy gaze on Elise’s long legs that were exposed under her skirt.

A sharp gleam flashed across her eyes, her hand making a slight move by her side and a silver needleslid to her fingers. Nonetheless, before she could make a move, Alexander flung his fist violently atJohan, and the latter collapsed on the floor. He threw punches after punches like a madman, andJohan was unable to fight back at all. In the end, Alexander lifted a foot and stomped on Johan’s chest.A shock look spread across Elise’s face but she soon regained her calmness and quietly kept away thesilver needle between her fingers. “Alexander Griffith, how dare you?

Aren’t you afraid that I’ll make sure that the entire Griffith Family will go down together with me?!” Withblood trickling down the corner of his lips, Johan tried to struggle and put on a brave front. Animpassive Alexander stepped on him even harder—so hard that Johan was unable to even raise hishead. With his head glued to the floor, he resembled a tortoise that was flipped upside down, and theonly parts he could move around were his limbs.

The hotel customers that passed by discreetly took out their phones to record the scene. Ignoring thebystanders, Alexander nonchalantly took out his phone and dialed a number. “I’m at Gold Peace. Thenew manager that you employed seems to dislike me.” The person on the other end of the line repliedto him and Alexander hung up a few seconds later. The next instant, Mr. Hayden’s phone rang urgently.Fishing out his phone, he noticed that it was a call from the general manager of the hotel. His handtrembled and he dropped the phone on the floor.

However, he immediately squatted down to pick it up before accepting the call with his heart in hismouth. Before he even said anything, the person on the other end of the line roared, “What did you do?How could you stop Alexander? Don’t you treasure your job? Give full cooperation to all his requests ifyou still wish to stay!” “Y-Yes, sir! I-I’ll do so right away!” The call was killed even before Mr. Haydenfinished his sentence. He gulped, inwardly curious as to why the general manager would side withAlexander. However, he obediently stepped forward and apologized to both Alexander and Elise.“President Griffith, Miss Sinclair, please come this way. I’ll lead you to the penthouse.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “I’m really sorry for that. When Mr. York checked in here, hespecifically instructed that nobody—not even the hotel employees—is allowed to step foot into thepenthouse. So, I was put on the spot as well.” Alexander darted a look at him from the front. “Is thatso?” he questioned, his voice stern. “You weren’t put on a spot when it was the Olson Family Clan thatyou were dealing with, were you?” “Uh…” Mr. Hayden was rendered speechless, his face pale.Meanwhile, Alexander, who was in no mood to lecture him, bent over and gripped Johan’s chin instead.As he stared at the latter’s eyes and examined them carefully, he stated indifferently, “Indeed, youreyes don’t match your face well.

I’ll come and get them in a couple of days.” With that, he abruptly released his grip and retracted hishand before turning around and returning back to Elise’s side. “Darling, we are meeting a client today,so we shouldn’t let blood spill for the time being, alright?” Darling? Elise was stunned to hear that. Thisseemed to be the first time he addressed her with such endearment. After a while, she returned to her

senses and nodded cooperatively. “Sure, let him take care of them for the time being.” Alexanderrevealed a slight smile in response. “Let’s go.”

After they had barely taken two steps, the lift doors suddenly slid open and the bodyguards from thepenthouse were seen stepping out of the lift. The moment Mr. Hayden saw that, he immediately rushedforward to ask, “Is there any request from Mr. York? Do let me know and I’ll make sure that it is carriedout right away.” However, the bodyguard lifted a hand and pushed Mr. Hayden to one side, thenmarched in the direction of Elise and Alexander. “Mr. Griffith and Miss Sinclair?” he said in Chinese, hisvoice husky. “Yeah.” “Yeah.” Alexander politely nodded.

“Mr. York would like to meet you two.” The bodyguard stated in Chinese, then gave way to the duo,inviting them into the lift. Mr. Hayden attempted to get into the lift as well but was stopped by thebodyguard, who explained, “Mr. York said that he only wants to meet Mr. Griffith and Miss Sinclair.”Then, the bodyguard coldly pressed on the lift button to close the lift doors. Looking at the slowlyclosing doors, Mr. Hayden gulped in horror. What’s going on?

Could it be that the news out there is fake and the Griffith Family is not suffering any losses? Not onlywas the general manager afraid of offending Alexander and giving him special treatment, but why isthis VIP treating the two of them like this as well? Meanwhile, news about Nathan accepting Alexanderand Elise’s visitation instantly spread throughout the hotel and gradually on the Internet.
