Chapter 159 What’s Wrong With Alexander?

Elise felt Alexander was behaving a little weird today. The way he looked at her was as if he had

something to tell her, but he had not spoken up even after the dinner was over. As such, Elise thought

she might have overthought.

After going back to her room, Elise switched on the computer and a new email notification popped up.

Then, she clicked into it and saw it was an email from the director of the children’s home. The email

provided an update of the children’s situation and the previous month’s statement of cash flow was also

attached in it. Elise glanced through it and thought everything looked fine, so she closed the mailbox

thereafter.

At the same time, she received a call from the children’s home. “Hi, Miss Elise, the children are missing

you. It’ll be great if you can make some time to come and visit them.”

Elise had not gone to visit the children over this period when she was at Athesea. She glanced at the

calendar and realized it was the weekend tomorrow, so she agreed gladly. “It’s my day off tomorrow. I’ll

be there.”

The director was elated to hear her response. “I’m sure the children will be overjoyed to know this. We’ll

see you tomorrow then, Miss Elise.”

The next morning, Elise put together a casual outfit. “Miss Elise, are you heading out?” a servant asked

thoughtfully. Elise didn’t want Robin to worry about her, so she answered, “Yeah, I have some matters to

attend to. If Grandpa asks about me, please tell him that I’ve gone to Angel Children Home at Downtown

North, and that I’ll be back by afternoon.”

“Alright. Please take care, Miss Elise.”

After leaving home, Elise first hailed a cab to the supermarket to buy some toys, snacks and books for

the children.

She bought so many things that the car boot was filled up to the max. Then, the cab driver sent Elise to

the welfare home.

The moment the children saw Elise walk in with bags of supplements in her hands, they ran up to her in

excitement. “Hi, Elise. I’ve missed you so much!”

“You’re finally here, Elise!”

Looking at the children, Elise beamed from ear to ear. “I’ve missed y’all too. Come and look at what I’ve

bought for you.”

Elise distributed the snacks and toys to the children, who were all overjoyed to receive the gifts. While

they thanked Elise, the director came out. “Oh, Miss Elise, you’re too kind to always bring us so much

stuff whenever you come.”

Elise held the director’s arm intimately when she saw her. “Not at all, Madam Ruth. These are just some

small gifts for the children.”

Back then when Elise’s parents passed away, it was Ruth who took her in kindly until her grandparents

came and fetched her home. She had always remembered Ruth’s kindness toward her, so she would

contribute some money to the children’s home and come back to visit them every year.

“We really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks to your support for these past years, these kids are able to

live in such a decent environment. I thank you on behalf of the kids.”

“Hey, Elise, come and play with us!” Just then, two children came to grab Elise, and so Elise went to play

with them.

Little did she know that at this moment, Alexander was winding down his car window slowly outside the

children’s home.

Looking at Elise who was having a good time with the children, he felt surprised and bizarre. Normally,

he only saw her being both serious and playful, but he had never seen her this joyful before.

He couldn’t help but be moved by the bright smile on Elise’s face and her genuine joy.

“Shall we go in, President Griffith?” Cameron asked. Alexander retracted his gaze and said, “There’s no

need. Let’s head back to the office. Next time, send some supplies to this children’s home in the name of

our company.”

“Yes, sir.”

Thereafter, the car was driven away.

Elise, who was playing with the children, lifted her eyes suddenly, but all she could see was a car that

was disappearing. As such, she was not bothered by it and continued playing with the children.

On the other hand, joy spread across Ruth’s face as she watched Elise and the children having a great

time. Later, she had a chat with Elise and told her about the recent situation at the children’s home.

“Winter is coming soon. I’m afraid the heating supplies here are not enough—this winter might be a hard

one for the kids.”

Hearing that, Elise quickly said, “Please buy more equipment if the heating supplies are insufficient. We

can’t let the children suffer.”

Ruth nodded but seemed to have something else to say.

Seeing that, Elise spoke up, “Madam Ruth, please, feel free to tell me if there’s any concern. I’ll surely do

my best to help.”

Ruth answered in all honesty, “Miss Elise, frankly speaking, you’ve helped so much that I can’t bring

myself to ask for your help anymore, but the current expense of the children’s home is just too much and

I really can’t afford to upgrade the heating supplies.”

Elise more or less understood Ruth’s meaning. She pulled Ruth’s hand over and said, “Please don’t

worry and leave this to me. I’ll try my best to get the heating supplies before winter comes.”

Ruth’s eyes became red-rimmed as she heard that. “Miss Elise, words can’t express how grateful I am

toward you. I thank you once again on behalf of the children for your kindness to them.”

“It’s all going to be fine, Madam Ruth.”

After leaving the children’s home, Elise went back to the Griffith Residence and checked the balance in

her bank account. There were only tens of thousands in her account, which was definitely not enough to

upgrade the heating supplies.

Elise caught a glimpse of the Centurion Card that Jonah had given her, but she directly ignored it as she

had no intention of using it. Then, she kept away the card and thought she should think of a way to earn

some money before winter came so that she could upgrade the heating supplies for the children.

At this thought, Elise was reminded of the national racing competition which Jamie mentioned before.

She was rather moved by the cash prize of ten million. If she could win the prize, all the problems would

be solved.

And so, Elise quickly gave Jamie a call. “Hey, Jamie, please send me all the related information about

the national racing competition which you mentioned last time.”

Jamie had not expected that Elise would actually ask for the information about the competition. “Boss, do

you plan to participate in the competition?” he asked.

Elise hummed in response, hearing which Jamie was overjoyed. “Sure! Give me a minute. I’ll send the

information to you via email immediately.”

Shortly after the call was hung up, Elise received a new email. She quickly opened the email and

glanced through the details of the competition. The structure was rather straightforward—every

participant would take part in a total of three rounds of the competition. The overall champion would be

awarded the cash prize of ten million. Nevertheless, when Elise continued reading the content, she was

surprised to see Alexander’s name in the list of racers invited, which was appended at the bottom of the

email.

“What?! Is he entering the competition too?” Elise murmured. Then, she called Jamie and asked, “Hey

Jamie, what’s wrong with Alexander?”
