Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

The first one to step inside the room was Danny, who walked with wide strides, all while he nagged, “Can‘t we take turns to visit her instead of coming in all at once?” He had just taken a few steps when his body stiffened. “Holy crap. Isn‘t that the world–renowned movie star, Cecile Sinclair?” 

At that, the rest of the Griffiths following behind him froze as well. Jack nearly dropped the gifts that he had 

brought, shocked as he was once he got a good look at the woman by Elise‘s side. 

Everyone seemed to have been thoroughly shaken by this. Only Alexander‘s expression was still as even as ever.

Elise, who exactly are you? he wondered. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com

Elise herself was also surprised. She was unsure how to break the tension. 

Cynthia patted Elise before she stood up and fluffed her hair. Then, she slowly spoke. “Greetings, I am Elise‘s aunt, Cecile Sinclair, but off the stage, I am just Cynthia.” 

“Her aunt?” Jack couldn‘t believe his eyes. No wonder Elise ignored me back then. It‘s because her own aunt is an 

international superstar.And there I was, brazenly telling her that I would bring her around to meet her favorite actors. At that thought, Jack felt even more ashamed. 

Alexander glanced at Elise, whose gaze was darting everywhere. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly walked over and extended his hand like a gentleman. “Nice to meet you. You‘re here to visit Elise too, right?” 

“I happened to be in the country, so I came to visit her.” Cynthia extended her hand in response to his politeness. She eyed the man before her. His eyes betray nothing. And he‘s able to maintain a level head even when faced with 

something like this. Such a polite gentleman. He‘s a good match for Ellie. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com

“Are you here to visit Ellie, too? My, my, Ellie‘s the apple of my father’s eye. Everyone has been worried out of their minds ever since she got injured,” Cynthia said with a tone that indicated her seniority over Alexander.

“I apologize for making you and your family worry. It won‘t happen again.” Part of the reason that Elise had

gotten hurt this time was because he hadn‘t taken good care of her. 

“I‘ll leave things to you, then.” Cynthia smiled breezily after she heard Alexander’s promise. She walked over to

Elise‘s side and teased, “Ellie, it seems to me the Griffith Family has some fine heirs. I think you two would get 

along well.” 

Alexander‘s expression turned a fair bit chillier when he heard that. 

“Aunt Cynthia, but that‘s..” Elise stuttered, her words tripping over each other. 

The tiny room was already cramped enough with all the people squeezed into it. Now, the atmosphere had 

turned even stranger. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com

“Since your aunt is here, we‘ll have to welcome her properly as hosts,” Matthew suddenly said with a gentle tone, having remained quiet all this while. He lifted his head, only for his gaze to directly meet Elise‘s. 

His gaze… was completely different from Alexander‘s; it actually had a hint of brightness in it. 

Matthew shifted his gaze over to Alexander, his tone still gentle and polite as he spoke. “What do you think.
