Coolest Girl in Town
Chapter 73
“Don‘t be sad, Grandma. I‘ll try my best, so don‘t worry about me.”
Seeing that Elise had softened her attitude, Laura knew that she had made the right move, and she
quickly added, “Well, you said it yourself. I’ll give you another chance, then. The next time you’re back,
you have to bring along your husband so I can meet him.”
All of a sudden, Elise felt that she had fallen into a trap, but since she had already said it herself, she
could only agree. “Okay, I’ll try my best.” (Daily latest update www.jar .com)
Upon getting her word, all the sadness disappeared from Laura’s face. “Come here. Let me take a good
look at you to see if you’ve grown any taller or chubbier.” (Daily latest update www.jar .com)
Speechless, Elise could clearly feel that she had fallen for her trap, but even so, she had no complaints
about it.
After having dinner with her grandparents, Elise went to her bedroom on the third floor. Opening the
door, she immediately saw a huge poster with the letter H printed on the bottom. (Daily latest update

Lifting her gaze, she stared at her own poster with an unreadable look in her eyes. However, very
quickly, she looked away and scanned around the room. Everything in the room was exactly how it was
when she left; it showed how careful Robin and
Then, she paced to the storage space in her room and opened the door. The space was filled with digital
albums and posters, and she found the limited edition of her own album she published back then. (Daily

“Since Mikayla likes it so much, I‘ll bring a few albums for her. I think Matthew likes it as well, so I‘ll bring
a couple for him, too,” she muttered as she took out a few albums and signed the letter H with a Sharpie

“Ellie!” Laura suddenly called out while pushing the door open.
Setting the albums aside, Elise asked, “What is it, Grandma?”
Laura walked into the room and passed her the lucky charm she got for her. “Elise,
take good care of yourself out there. The most important thing is your safety,” she said while putting on
the lucky charm around Elise‘s neck. “Your grandpa and I are old, and we don’t know how many
remaining days we have. You’re the only one that we worry about the most.”
Throwing herself into her embrace, Elise said, “Grandma, I‘ll take care of myself, so stop worrying about
me. You have to take care of yourself, too.”
Laura stroked her head. “Yeah, I know how to take care of myself at this age. Actually, I came looking for
you because I have a favor to ask from you.” (Daily latest update www.jar .com)
While Elise was looking at her in confusion, Laura reached into her pocket and took out an antique-
looking locket. “This was my dowry back then. My family was against my decision to marry your
grandfather, and so many decades have passed since
then, but I’ve not thought of going home to take a look. So, I don’t know how my family is doing now.”
This was the first time Elise heard Laura mentioning her own family, the Richardsons, and she couldn’t
help but ask, “Do you have any siblings from your family?”
“I have a younger brother, but I haven’t contacted him over the years and don’t know how he’s doing
now. Previously, I heard rumors saying that his family have moved to Athesea, and since you’re there as
well, I wonder if you can help me out,” Laura said.
“Just tell me what I can do for you, Grandma!” Elise said with a rough guess in her mind.
Looking at the locket in her hand, Laura sighed. “Although I made the tough choice not to contact them
for decades, they’re still constantly on my mind. If you have time some day, please help me look for
them.”
“Okay, I got it, Grandma!” Elise replied.
Hy brother’s name is Leonard Richardson. Please send him my regards if you find him.”
After making a mental note of the name, Elise said, “Don’t worry, Grandma! I’ll ask around Athesea when
I’m back there.”
Having received Elise’s assurance, Laura nodded. “Great! Thank you, Elise.” (Daily latest update

“You don’t have to be so courteous to me, Grandma! If you would like to meet them some day, I can
even–”
Before Elise could finish her sentence, Laura interjected, “There’s no need to meet up. I just need to
know if they‘re doing well. That‘s all.”
Even though Elise didn’t completely comprehend it, she respected Laura’s decision and put it on her
mind to remember this matter.
So, Elise stayed a night at home and said goodbye to her grandparents the next day. Before leaving, she
even called for a courier service to have those albums sent to the Griffiths?.
After leaving her home, Elise didn’t return to Athesea. Instead, she changed into a new look with a
different makeup and headed straight for the airport. With the Mesdra passport she had from years ago
which was registered under the name Sare, she checked in for the flight and got her boarding pass.
At the same time, Alexander had also arrived at the airport together with his assistant, Cameron. “Mr.
Griffith, here’s your ID and passport. I’ve already checked in for you, and your boarding pass is here as
well. Boarding will commence in another twenty minutes.” (Daily latest update www.jar .com)
Alexander nodded in reply and checked the time on his wristwatch. “Did you contact the interpreter?
What time will she arrive?”
“I called her, but nobody picked up the phone,” Cameron answered nervously.
Hearing that, Alexander knitted his dark brows tightly together and whisked out his phone to call the
number that he was given before. A couple of rings later, someone picked up his call and he asked,

Recognizing that it was Alexander‘s voice, Elise suppressed her own voice, and almost immediately, a
neutral and rather hoarse voice echoed through the call. “Yes, I‘m Sare! Mr. Griffith, I‘m already at the
airport.”
When he heard that she was already here, the expression on his face relaxed a lot. “I’m at boarding gate
number 153. Are you coming over?”
After checking the boarding pass in her hand, she explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith, but since I’m in
economy class, I won’t be boarding together with you. We’ll meet
during the transit in Singapore later, then.”
“Why don’t you come over, and I’ll get my assistant to upgrade you to business class?” Alexander
suggested straight away. “In that case, we can also discuss the job onboard.” (Daily latest update

Thinking that she didn‘t have to pay for the upgrade fees herself, Elise immediately agreed. “Sure. I‘ll see
you in a while.”
After hanging up the call, Alexander waited in silence. Barely three minutes had passed when a slender
figure walked toward him steadily. The woman had chestnut brown hair and was wearing black
sunglasses. Although she was casually dressed, the elegance she was exuding was impossible to hide.
Stopping in front of Alexander, Elise spoke first. “Hello, Mr. Griffith.”
Looking up, Alexander saw an elegant and charmingly matured woman, whom he would not associate
with the ugly Elise that he remembered. He stood up from his seat and greeted her in a gentlemanly
manner. “Nice to meet you, Miss Sare.”
Smiling gently, Elise extended her hand at him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Griffith.”
Returning her smile, Alexander shook her hand, but the moment their hands touched, he felt an
inexplicable familiar feeling surging within him. With a calm expression, he surveyed the person in front
of him and said composedly, “Your reputation precedes you, Miss Sare. Hopefully, we‘ll have a pleasant
cooperation during the next few days.”
“I hope so too!”
