Chapter 449 Clearing the Place

Seeing that Elise wasn’t paying attention to him, Russel lost his temper at once. “Hey, what the hell is onyour mind? Didn’t you hear what I said? Didn’t you see how much pain Daniel’s in? What the hell are youwaiting for? Hurry up and cure him now!”

Elise tapped on today’s financial news in silence while still ignoring Russell. As she had expected,Maxwell wasn’t only unwilling to pay the money; he was also secretly plotting to deal the Griffith Groupthe finishing blow at the moment. He had even stretched his claws toward the Anderson Family; only hehadn’t been found out for the time being since he had done so in a covert way. After pondering for amoment, Elise picked up her phone and dialed a number.

“Who is it?” Nathan sounded quite irritated as he was roused from sleep.

Just as Elise was about to respond, Russell daringly made a lunge at her and snatched her phone awaydirectly. He said testily, “I’m talking to you! Did you hear me?”

As soon as he took her phone away, though, he met her eyes, which had appeared delicate andbeautiful to him at first glance. At this moment, however, her eyes were dark and gloomy and gleamingwith a strong murderous desire, as though she would go on a killing spree at any time.

Elise was half a head shorter than Russell, but she naturally projected a commanding aura even whenshe wasn’t looking angry. Seeing the look in her eyes, Russell unconsciously gulped a mouthful of salivaand silently put her phone back in place.

Elise shot him a chilly sidelong glance. Then, she went on and said to the other end of the line, “I’vefound you a fun job to do, Nathan.”

Russell’s cloudy eyes instantly widened with astonishment when he heard Nathan’s name. Nathan?! Isthat the Nathan York that I know about? So the rumors are true that Elise and Alexander have a close

relationship with Nathan York! If the Andersons manage to establish a relationship with him, we’ll have adivine hand in opening up the global market in the future, won’t we?

Unaware of the old devil’s scheming, Elise pressed her lips together, waiting for Nathan’s reply.

Nathan got out of bed and found a bath towel to wrap around his lower body. Then, he poured himself aglass of wine and drank it. After breathing in with a hiss, he asked leisurely, “What’s the job?”

“Buying out the Dahlens’ family business,” replied Elise.

“No problem.” Nathan responded to her request without hesitation, but he bared his fangs soonafterward. “As long as you give me the word, making any business in the country go bust or lose all itscapital is never a problem for me. Still, I can’t keep doing business at a loss, right? And besides, I’ve gotto answer to my clients.”

Elise seemed to realize what he was getting at. “What do you want?”

“That’s exactly what I like about you. You’re always so straightforward.” Nathan walked over to theFrench window with his wine glass between his fingers. Looking down at the ground below, he continuedin earnest, “I want to meet with A in person.”

Elise didn’t want to take advantage of him, though. She reminded him kindheartedly, saying, “Are yousure you’ll be able to answer to your clients after meeting with A? However capable A is, she’s just ahuman being.”

However, Nathan replied with conviction, “Well, just as no one will turn down a dinner with WarrenBuffett, I believe that a meeting with A will be worth more than its price.”

“Alright then. I’ll help introduce you to her when this matter is over,” Elise replied.

“Okay.” Nathan threw his head back and gulped another sip of his red wine. After smacking his lips, hesaid confidently, “It won’t take long.”

Elise hung up right away without continuing the conversation.

“Yoyo?” Russell called ingratiatingly in a whisper.

Elise turned her head away in disgust. “Who are you calling Yoyo?”

“You, of course!” Russell stared at Elise, his eyes sparkling brightly. Then, he realized that he had calledher by the wrong name. Correcting himself at once, he said, “Oh, sorry, I was wrong. It’s Elise. Elise,were you talking to Nathan York—the outstanding investment broker—on the phone just now?”

“What does that have to do with you?” Elise replied snappishly while raising an eyebrow.

Russell replied in a groveling manner, “How could that have nothing to do with me? We’re a family, afterall. From what I heard just now, you’re going to arrange a meeting between Nathan and your friend. Inthat case, how about you reserve a place for me?”

“D-Dad…” The ignored Daniel sat up, baring his shoulder. With a look of resentment, he asked Russellfor help, urging, “Don’t forget about me. My leg can’t wait another minute!”

Only then did Russell come to his senses. He cleared his throat, saying, “Ahem! Well, uh, Y… Elise,since you’ve started taking action against the Dahlens, why don’t you treat Daniel’s leg while you’re at it?After all, he got himself into such a state after going to the Dahlens with the best of intentions to cureMaya for you.”

Elise turned to look at Russell coldly. “For me, you say?” she asked. Then, she retorted, stressing eachword, “Did I tell him to take a bunch of quacks with him to diagnose her? Or did I tell him to administer

medicine and treatment carelessly despite knowing nothing about her illness? Are you sure I was theone who told him to do all that?”

“Well…” Russell was instantly stumped for an answer. After being speechless for a long time, he finallyforced out an excuse. “B-But it was you who told Daniel to treat her! He only made the desperate movebecause he had no other options left!”

“Oh,” Elise murmured in acknowledgment with an expressionless face.

“Oh?!” Russell’s lips twitched. “Is that all? Your cousin risked his life without hesitation for your sake.Aren’t you even gonna say thanks to him?”

“Well, I’m not as good with words as you are.” Elise locked her phone’s screen and put her phone in hertrouser pocket. Then, with her hands in her pockets, she looked straight ahead, saying as if nobody elsewas around, “I’ll cure the patient if I can, but if I can’t, I’ll admit that I can’t cure them. I won’t show off mysuperiority or try to be a hero for the sake of trying to make myself look good. Besides, those who end uphurting themselves by pursuing their own interests under the excuse of doing good to someone elsedon’t deserve sympathy either.”

Suddenly, she thought of Alexander, and she lowered her head and smiled in self-deprecation.“Moreover, my sympathy’s limited. I can’t afford to take care of every Tom, Dick, and Harry, right?” Well, Ihave to avoid some risks and protect myself for somebody’s sake, after all, she thought. After amoment’s thought, she said under her breath through her thin lips, “Throw all these people out.”

“How dare you do this to me, Elise?! I’m your uncle!” Russell protested as he struggled.

However, Elise merely plugged her ears with her index fingers. She said impassively, “What a racket inthe early morning!”

Daniel was left alone in the center of the yard. Seeing Russell being thrown out in a curve through theair, he gulped a mouthful of saliva in fear and crawled outside, dragging his broken leg.
