Chapter 437 Who Said I’m Apologizing?

Before dawn arrived, the group of them led Joseph, who was fully awake, and Claude, who hadcollapsed from exhaustion, back to the house. They had just got out of the car when a stern-lookingman hurried out of the house and strode toward Alexander. “Mr. Griffith.” The man wasn’t tall, yet heseemed like a fierce man because of his actions and demeanor.

“Yeah.” Alexander nodded before he turned to introduce the man to Elise. “This is Clement. He used tohelp me with my work overseas, and he’ll be responsible for the safety of the houses from nowonward.”

“Thank you,” Elise uttered with a polite smile.

“No worries. I’m just following orders,” Clement said with a blank expression on his face. His gaze wasfixed at a space in front of him, but it seemed like his eyes weren’t focused on any particular object.Elise could sense great hostility coming from the man.

…

The few of them had just helped Joseph to settle down when Danny strutted over curiously. “Hey, Elise.Why didn’t you tell me that you knew Aldric? Why don’t you promote me to him, huh?” Danny utteredwith a playful look on his face.

“There’s no need for that. SK Group is a mess now—you’ll probably get turned into ashes if you enterthe organization.”

“I’m not that smart, but I’m pretty sure I have enough combat skills to save my life, don’t you think?”Danny scratched his head grumpily. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as he shuffled over to whisper inElise’s ear. “I’ve been thinking about something. Do you want to hear my theory?”

“You can tell me if you want to.” Elise was rubbing a needle between her fingers, and she didn’t evenbother to look at him. Danny pouted for a moment before he started speaking in an unenthusiastictone. “I just wanted to say that you seem really similar to Master Eliza from SK Group. You’re reallyskilled, after all.”

Elise chuckled when she heard him. He isn’t that dumb after all. However, she didn’t respond to him.Danny walked over to the door as he was disheartened by her lack of response. Coincidentally, hebumped into Clement, who was bringing tea into the room.

“Clement?” Danny gave Clement a friendly punch in the chest when he saw him. “Dude! Weren’t yousent over to Africa? When did you get back?”

“Today.” It was almost as if Clement had a quota for the number of words he could say in a day. Dannycontinued to pound his fists on Clement as he blabbered on. Clement’s figure wobbled in response toDanny’s heavy punches, but he had the same emotionless look on his face. Every man had a master—it seemed like Danny was Clement’s master.

…

Daniel invited himself over to the house after breakfast. He stopped Elise as she was walking in thecourtyard. “Have you gathered the hyacinth serum?” she asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Well… I need a little more time for that.” Daniel gave her a vague answer before he changed the topic.“Look, there’s another reason I’m here, Elise.”

“What is it?” she asked.

He let out a sigh before putting on a troubled look. “Maxwell paid a visit to the Andersons just now.”

“Maxwell? Who’s that?” Elise eyed him puzzledly. Daniel froze as he thought, You sure are a braveone! How could you attack someone’s daughter without knowing who her father is?

“Maxwell is Maya’s father,” Daniel said in the most patient tone he could muster.

“Oh. What’s your point?” Elise uttered in an equally peaceful tone.

“Maya has fallen extremely ill after she left your place. Maxwell is furious, and he said that he will notlet you go so easily. Fortunately, my father stepped forward to calm Maxwell down. I also gave Maxwellsome valuable herbs to apologize on behalf of you. We managed to soothe Maxwell’s temper, and allof this will be over as long as you agree to go over and treat Maya,” Daniel stated in a confident tone.

“Who told you that I wanted to apologize to them? You can treat her since you’re the one who made thepromise.” Elise didn’t fall for his words at all.

“That’s not right of you to say that, Elise.” Daniel was dumbfounded by her words. I came here to showher that I’m a nice person. How did I end up taking responsibility for her mess?
