Chapter 427 Delivering a Girl to Alexander
“You’ll need to get married someday, Tania. I can’t protect you forever. Think about it—there are tons of
wealthy women who wish to marry that man inside, but they don’t even have a chance to get close to
him. Now that this chance is right before your eyes, are you sure you want to let it go just like that? As
long as Alexander is on our side, I’ll get the chance to be the head of the Anderson Family. Our fates are
tied together. You shouldn’t make rash decisions during such crucial times.” Russell made his intentions
clear, and Tania would come off as a self-centered and ignorant person if she were to reject his request.
Therefore, Tania had no choice but to swallow all her afflictions and nod obediently. “Don’t worry, Dad. I
won’t disappoint you.”
“That’s my girl. It’s all up to you now,” Russell uttered thoughtfully. After giving her a pat on the shoulder,
he turned to leave. “Good luck, sis!” Daniel wore a gloating expression on his face as he walked off.
Tania watched as the two figures disappeared down the alley, and she let out a long sigh before she
returned to the house.
The moment she walked through the front entrance, she put all her worries aside and forced a pleasant
smile onto her face. Even her footsteps seemed lighter as she made her way in. However, she realized
that the front porch was completely empty once she got in. It had been filled with people earlier, but now
there was no one left. It was as if they were trying to avoid her.
Tania was the precious child of the family, and she had been spoiled and pampered her whole life. She
had never been neglected in the past! She felt a lump in her throat as tears began forming in her eyes.
However, when she recalled Russell’s instructions, she forced her sobs back down her throat. Daddy’s
right. Everyone has to go through some tough times in life. All of this won’t mean a thing when I achieve
my goals and become better than everyone else. With my skills and traits, I’ll win Alexander over soon.
No one’s going to look down on me then!

Tania no longer felt sad after that. If anything, she felt more determined than ever. She turned around
and walked over to the backyard in search of Jeanie. “Mrs. Anderson, do you think I should share a room
with Yoyo? I think that would help us get closer to each other, right?” Tania wore an innocent look as she
spoke.
“No.” Jeanie rejected her immediately. “Yoyo doesn’t enjoy sharing her room with others.” The truth was
that Elise didn’t like being bothered by others, but Jeanie made her explanation sound a little kinder as
she thought that Tania was a relatively nice child. Well, can’t she tell that she isn’t welcome here? I can’t
believe she’s shamelessly staying around. I wonder what’s going on in her head.
“If that’s the case…” Tania nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right, Mrs. Anderson. Why don’t I share a room
with you, then?”
“No!” Jeanie felt a headache coming. “I don’t like sharing rooms either. You can find yourself an empty
room!” she grumbled, feeling annoyed. Although Jeanie didn’t want grudges from the older generations
to affect the younger generations, she simply couldn’t bring herself to like Tania whenever she thought
about Russell. Jeanie’s gut feeling told her to stay away from Tania.
Jeanie’s words were precisely what Tania was waiting for, so Tania strode off with a grin on her face after
that. Initially, Tania had assumed that Alexander was staying in one of the rooms in the current house,
but she circled the area to realize that he was staying in the area next door. If that’s the case, then I
won’t get a chance to get close to Alexander even if I stay with Elise, right? Tania’s footsteps came to a
halt in the middle of the courtyard when she realized the issue she was facing.
Meanwhile, Elise was just about to head over to Valerie’s place to give her an acupuncture treatment
when she bumped into Tania. “What are you doing here?” Elise asked in an icy tone.
Tania was caught by surprise, and her heart jolted when she turned around to look Elise in the eyes. It
took Tania a while to gather herself. “Mrs. Anderson told me to pick my own room, but it looks like there
aren’t any empty rooms here.” She tried her best to sound calm.
Elise thought about it for a while. She might be right. All six of the rooms are full since Claude took the
last one. I don’t think this place can fit anyone else. “You can go over to stay with Maria,” Elise uttered
flatly.
“Maria? Who’s that?”
“The cook,” Elise replied.
“What? Would that work?” Tania’s body language made it clear that she was against the idea, but at the
same time, she didn’t want Elise to know that. “Personally, I’m fine with it,” she explained after biting her
bottom lip. “But if the public finds out that the Anderson Family’s young mistress is sleeping with maids, it
will ruin my family’s reputation. You can’t tell me to do that.”
Elise crossed her arms in front of her chest. “This won’t work, and that won’t work… Tell me—where do
you want to stay, then?”
There was a long pause as Tania pretended to think about Elise’s question for a while. “When I first
arrived, I noticed that people were guarding the yard next door. I think those belong to the Andersons,
too, right? Perhaps I could move there.”
Elise subconsciously shot a glance toward Alexander’s place. Moments later, she had a sudden
realization. Russell’s actions puzzled me at first. I was wondering why he sent his daughter over for no
reason. Well, I got my answer now—she’s here for Alexander. Gosh, she’s trying to go for my fiancé
when it’s only our first day meeting each other. She sure is an impressive woman, huh? Well, both
Russell and Tania are being a little too confident. Do they think Alexander will find someone like Tania
attractive? Okay. Since they want to embarrass themselves, then I have no reason to stop them. I’ll just
treat this as entertainment.

“Sure.” Elise generously gave consent before she made her way to the yard next door. “I’ll bring you
there,” she offered.
Tania hadn’t expected Elise to agree so easily, so she froze in her spot for a few seconds before she
hurried after Elise. Both of them went over to the yard next door. When they stepped in, Alexander
happened to walk out of the main hall. Elise walked over when she caught sight of his towering figure, so
she walked over to address him directly. “My cousin would like to stay over here. Do you guys have a
spare room?”
Tania hadn’t managed to catch up with Elise’s footsteps, so she had to jog to follow her. When Elise’s
footsteps came to a halt, Tania nearly crashed into her. It took Tania a few moments to recover her
energy and steady herself. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and fear as she looked at Alexander.
Alexander lowered his gaze to look at Tania before he shifted to stare at Elise. His hands were stuck in
his pockets, and he pressed his fingers together as he wondered, What is this woman trying to do this
time? Can’t she tell that the girl beside her is interested in me? Is she sending someone over to balance
things out because she has someone interested in her next door? She’s saying that we can each have
our own fun, huh?
Alexander had already been sulking over the incident with Joseph, and his face turned more sour when
he realized that Elise had personally sent a girl over for him. Anger was written all over his face as he
spoke grumpily. “I guess. Deal with it on your own. Don’t tell me about this.”
He had initially planned on turning around and walking away to avoid interacting with them. But to his
surprise, Elise had a comeback immediately after. “Great. She can stay here, then. She can prepare your
meals and tidy the place. You’re welcome,” she said in a haughty tone.
Upon finishing her sentence, Elise gave Tania an affirming pat on the shoulder before she walked to
Joseph’s room. She was utterly entertained by the look of fury on Alexander’s face.
