Coolest Girl in Town

At her age, Grandma is most likely to get careless. If there’s no one to take care of her and she loses her way or some accident happens to her, who could bear this responsibility?” Her explanation got Elise speechless. It was said that not even a fair judge could settle family affairs, and family disputes were the trickiest cases which couldn’t be simply lorded by people on the sidelines. If Elise stood on moral grounds and started criticizing Faye, it was highly possible that she would end up with a bunch of accusations. On the other hand, she couldn’t stand by and watch as an elderly person was pushed around.

“Of course I believe that your intentions are kind, Miss Anderson. However, there are many examples in this world where bad actions turned out of good intentions, and I wonder how much you know about the penalty for abuse.” With the same look in her eyes, Elise looked Faye in the eyes so that the latter would know how it felt to have a taste of her own medicine. Without waiting for Faye to open her mouth, Elise added, “Going against an elderly person’s will, putting her in confinement, restricting her freedom, inflicting mental abuse, etc…

Taking all these into consideration, it can easily end up being a two-year sentence. Miss Anderson, do be careful.” With the most innocent tone, Elise had uttered the most threatening words.

Please be considerate and stop acting stubborn!” Grappling her walking stick, Bertha struck it on the ground hard a couple of times and glared at her.

Startled, Bertha then understood her intentions and nodded curtly. She’s right. It’s a worthless struggle even if I explain myself in this situation, and it may even get that kind-hearted lass into trouble. It’s better if I just succumb and lay low for

saying, “I’m tired and want to rest in my room.” Hearing that, Faye’s lips twisted into a conceited smirk. That’s more like it, you old fart. “Quick, help Old Madam back to her room,” she ordered. “Okay!” Wiping away

a strong woman in her youth. Finally, Faye urged Elise on purpose after catching her staring at Bertha for a while, “Miss Sinclair, please leave if there’s nothing else. I have other matters to attend to and I’m afraid I don’t have the time for small talks.” She
