Chapter 265,Coolest Girl in Town
As her daughter, I am treated as such, not to mention that you’re a stranger. If my mom does anything that offends you, I hope that you try to understand and forgive her.” “I’ll be fine, Miss Anderson.” After Elise said that, she kneeled down to pull Jeanie up.
However, as soon as her hand touched Jeanie, she was swung off. “Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me.” At this moment, Elise’s hand froze, and Jeanie seemed to be in her own bubble. After Elise retracted her hand, she whispered, “Didn’t you say that you want to take me somewhere? Where is that?” As soon as she said that, Jeanie’s body stopped shaking. When Jeanie looked up at Elise, she seemed to be tracing back to her consciousness.
“Yoyo… Yoyo…” Elise then answered, “I’m Yoyo!” Hearing that, Jeanie smiled. She then held Elise’s hand and stood up. “My Yoyo is back. Yoyo is back! Let’s go. I’ve prepared a surprise for you. Let’s go together.” Elise was then led away by Jeanie. After they left, Rowena said softly, “Miss Faye, isn’t it inappropriate to put Madam in a stranger’s care? What if Old Madam finds out…” At once, Faye’s face turned dark like never before. “What can happen when she finds out? She’s just an old lady in her eighties and probably has only a few years left.” “Miss!”
Immediately, Rowena took a look around to ensure that there was nobody around before she continued, “Words as such shan’t be uttered. After all, Old Madam is the spine of the family. It’s better that we stay cautious.” Hearing that, Faye scoffed. “After all these years, I’ve survived. Why should I be wary of an old lady? Not to mention, I’m the person in charge of the family now.” “Yes, yes. You’re right. Nevertheless, Miss Sinclair is an outsider. If you let her interact with Madam like this, what if she spills the information to the public?” Faye’s gaze turned cold.
“That depends on her. If she doesn’t act as she should, I have ways to make her shut up. After all, only the dead can keep a secret forever.” Upon hearing that, Rowena was shocked by the deadly aura in Faye’s eyes. Hence, a cold shudder ran down her spine. Seeing that, Faye said, “Look how scared you are. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her now. However, if she can’t keep her mouth shut and causes some rumors to circulate outside, she’ll be sorry.” After saying that, she turned on her heels to leave. Rowena, who was in a cold sweat, was then left behind as she heaved a long sigh.
Meanwhile, Elise had followed Jeanie to a place at the right wing. When they got to the end of the hallway, Jeanie halted her steps. Looking at the door that was closed shut, she said with a gentle smile, “This is it! Yoyo, follow me.” As soon as she said that, she pushed the door open and went in. Elise was stumped to see what was inside the room. Inside the large room was filled with things that a little girl would love. There were dolls, cartoon cars, bags, books, toys, clothes… You name it. Not to mention, the room was kept at an utmost tidiest! She couldn’t even find a speck of dust inside.
“Yoyo, this is a doll that I got you. Do you like it?” Jeanie grabbed a doll before stuffing it into Elise’s arms. “This is an electronic watch that I got you. Girls at your age like this design. I bought two colors so you can wear them alternately.” “I even prepared a piano for you. Since young, you’ve been very interested in music. Thinking that my daughter will be very successful in music in the future, I bought the best piano in the field for you.”
“This clothing looks great, right? I thought it suited you at first sight…” Jeanie went on and on as she introduced everything in the room. The more Elise listened, the more guilty she felt. Everything inside here carried the love of a mother. She was like a thief who was stealing away things that didn’t belong to her in the first place… “Mrs. Anderson, I…” “Yoyo, come here!” Tugging on her hand, Jeanie brought her to a dresser. Pulling the drawer open, she could see an intricate box sitting within.
Jeanie opened the box to reveal a pure gold bracelet inside. There were realistic carvings on it. After taking out the bracelet, Jeanie put it on Elise’s wrist. “Looks great on you!” Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Elise attempted to take it off at once, but she was stopped by Jeanie. “Just keep it on! It looks good. Don’t take it off anymore.” “But… Mrs. Anderson! I can’t take your things.” Elise then took the bracelet off before placing it back into the box.
At that moment, Elise was chastising herself for agreeing to do something as such to Faye as she started to regret her decision… “Mrs. Anderson, I’m sorry.” “Silly kid. Why are you apologizing? It’s fine that you don’t like it. I’ll bring you to get one that you like another day.” Jeanie wasn’t mad, and she simply kept the box back into the drawer as she said that. At this moment, the Jeanie that was standing before Elise was nothing short of a normal person. Nothing about her felt off. “Mrs. Anderson, I’m not your Yoyo. I’m just a stranger. Your presents are for your daughter.
I––” At this moment, her sentence was cut off by Jeanie as she suddenly became very agitated. “No, no. You are Yoyo. You are my Yoyo… I won’t forget what she looked like… I won’t…” As she said that, her face turned squirmy. She kept repeating those words until she ended up hugging her head again before screaming. Hearing the commotion, the maids came quickly. “Madam, are you okay?” Seeing that Jeanie seemed pale and lifeless, the maids were getting anxious.
“Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get the doctor!” Standing at a side was Elise who witnessed the maids run up and down taking care of Jeanie. She wanted to help, but she was pushed away by the maids. Having left the Anderson Family’s residence, Elise returned to school in a sour mood. When she got out of the car, Rowena called out to her. “Miss Sinclair, this is your pay from Miss Anderson.”
As she said that, she took a bag and handed it over to Elise. Inside the bag were two stacks of new dollar bills. “Ms. Johnson, what do you mean by this?” “Miss Anderson wants to thank you for today. There may be times that we’ll require your help in the future. Please take this. If you’re unwilling to receive it, it will be my fault as I am deemed incapable. In that case, I will not need to return to the Anderson Family. Hence, I hope that you will make it easier for us who serve, Miss Sinclair.”
