Chapter 377 Adopted Child,Coolest Girl in Town

“Dad, don’t be upset. Everyone would want their kids to be there when they pass away! Death isinevitable. The most important thing is to pass away with dignity, and we’ve come back this time touphold your dignity. It would be your mistake if you didn’t appreciate our filial act.” Joshua maintainedhis cheeky attitude without even regarding himself as an outsider. “You—” Robin was angered to thepoint where he found himself out of breath and all of a sudden, his head spun. Clutching at his chest,he keeled over. As soon as Elise and Alexander saw that, they rushed forward to support Robin andthey shifted him to the chaise.

Right after he was placed into a supine position, Elise swiftly took out the needles that were always onher and lifted Robin’s left hand to poke him on the tip of his fingers. It was only after repeating that afew times that Robin’s breathings gradually stabilized. Meanwhile, Joshua stretched his neck andpeered over. There was a flash of disappointment across his face upon realizing that Robin was fine.“Look at you! You’re so frail. If I hadn’t come back with Maureen, who else would be able to sort out thefuneral plans if something actually happened to you?” “Shut up!“ Elise rolled her eyes at him. “I’vetolerated your bullsh*t for long enough, and I’ll rip your tongue out if you continue to say another word!”

“How dare you interrupt when your elder is speaking?” Joshua lifted his chin proudly, exuding utterconfidence without a single bit of fear in him. “Do you think that you’re fit to be addressed as an elder?”Elise had an indifferent expression on her face as she coldly mentioned, “Grandpa and Grandma aremy only family members. I don’t care who it is, but I’ll make sure that whoever dares to hurt them paythe price!” “Ha!” Joshua snorted mockingly as he countered, “From what you just said, do you meanthat you’re going to teach me a lesson? Well, I don’t think that an outsider like you would be able tostop me from returning to my own home!” Meanwhile, Robin’s eyes widened upon hearing the word‘outsider’ and he struggled hard to lift his hand.

Then, he pointed to Joshua by the doorway and he weakly muttered, “Y-You’d better shut your mouth!”“Why should I shut my mouth? That darn girl should be the one to shut up!” Joshua arrogantly spat atElise. “Darn it! Who do you think you are anyway?! You’re just an adopted child and an outsider with adifferent last name! How dare you behave so insolently in someone else’s house!” Upon hearing that,Elise clenched her fists by the side of her body tightly and there was a restrained look that crossed herface. She gritted her teeth and tried to come up with a retort but in the end, she didn’t utter a singleword. He’s right. No matter what, he’s the son of the Sinclair Family so they are related by blood.

Blood’s thicker than water, so perhaps Grandpa and Grandma do care about their biological son themost. On the other hand, Alexander was pained as he saw something flash across Elise’s face, and thelast time he had seen that was during their encounter with Madeline. And so, he was adamant that hewould not stand by and do nothing. In the end, Alexander walked over to stand by Else and hewrapped his broad, warm hand around her tightly clenched fist and he exclaimed loudly, “The futurelady of Griffith Group can choose to act recklessly however she wants.

Mr. Sinclair, do you have a bone to pick with my fiancée?” “The Griffith Group?” Joshua’s expressionturned upon hearing that and he asked quite materialistically, “Do you mean the company of the GriffithFamily from Tissote? Are you the one leading the company?” “That’s me.” Alexander puffed out hischest but he didn’t bother to say much. However, his imposing manner was exuded quite naturally.Meanwhile, Joshua stared at Alexander scrutinizingly before nodding as he had already weighed outthe pros and cons. “Alright, then. Since that’s the case, I won’t take offense against this brat!” Joshuapurposely reacted magnanimously as he reassured Alexander.

Subsequently, he glanced at Elise and warned, “You should be thankful that you found such a greatguy!” Although Joshua had left town at an early age, the Griffith Family was well-renowned to be one ofthe noble families in Tissote and it was unwise to cross their path. This was why he deemed itacceptable to give Alexander some leeway. It will make it much easier to interact with him once I inheritthe Sinclair Family business after the two old folks pass away. Just then, Elise had neared her

tolerance level for Joshua’s smugness, so she suddenly exerted force and was about to take actionagainst him. However, instantly after that, Alexander pressed lightly on her shoulders to signal her tokeep her calm.

In response, Elise paused in her tracks as she heard Alexander’s voice rang out from next to her. “Ithink you’ve made a mistake. I was the one who pursued Elise. She wasn’t the one that made themove. I would kill for her to marry me right now so whatever she wants to do or whatever she’s after, Iwill definitely achieve it for her.” Alexander paused for a moment upon saying that and he revealed asly smile. “Even if I have to kill someone for her, I would not hesitate at all.” He put emphasis on his lastsentence and every single word he mentioned spoke volumes. Meanwhile, Joshua looked atAlexander, who had a half-smile on his face, and the former suddenly felt quite uneasy for somereason.

After all, Alexander was used to being decisively merciless in the corporate world and his domineeringaura overpowered Joshua despite the latter’s age. I’m back for the family fortune, so it would beworthless if I lost my life, As soon as Joshua realized that, he chuckled cheekily. “Ha! President Griffith,you must be joking. We’re a family so there’s no need to resort to any killing. There’s no need for that.”Joshua said that with a glance at Elise before raising a hand to slap himself on the mouth. “I’m sorry,Elise. It’s my fault for not watching my words. Please don’t take those words to heart. It doesn’t matterwhether you were adopted or not. We’re all part of the Sinclair Family, right?”

Elise, however, was used to Joshua’s lowly behavior. Although she was tempted to strike him to teachhim a lesson, she was much more concerned about accidentally triggering Robin so in the end, shedidn’t say a word and turned around to go and comfort the elderly man. “Grandpa, you need plenty ofrest right now and you shouldn’t lose your temper.” “Gosh!” Robin frowned and heaved a sigh. “Elise,don’t you take what that scoundrel said—” Before Robin could finish his sentence, Elise had alreadymentioned expressionlessly, “I knew about that earlier on.” Robin’s expression stiffened when he heard

that and after quite some time, he finally came to his senses. Significantly stunned, he asked, “W-What?!

How come?” We kept this a secret for so many years and it was a well-kept secret, so how did she replaceout?! At that point, Elise calmly placed a blanket on him and she spoke as she covered him with it.“There was once when you spoke to Grandma and you guys brought it up by accident. I heard theconversation then.” Suddenly, Robin was unable to contain himself as he felt quite guilty and pained.After quite some time, he finally managed to utter, “Ellie, your grandma and I have always regarded youas our own granddaughter!” “I know that,” Elise replied matter-of-factly.

“And it’s the same for me. Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Meanwhile, Robin heaved a sigh without saying aword. He knew Elise quite well and she was generally one who kept everything to herself. It was quitelikely that this incident would result in her completely clamming up. Just then, Robin lifted his head tostare at the ceiling. Suddenly, he recalled something and he glanced toward Alexander with a hopefullook.

Ellie is quite taken by him so perhaps from now on, he could be her support. Behind the side-door,Jeanie stood astonished against the wall with her mouth agape. She had heard every single word quiteclearly. Elise isn’t the Sinclairs’ biological granddaughter and she was adopted! Yoyo? Could shepossibly be my Yoyo?!
