Chapter 429 Stop Making Noise
Alexander only stepped toward the exit after he made sure that her footsteps had traveled far away from the room. “Hey, Mr. Griffith!” Tania stopped him in a rather meek tone. “I’m not done talking…”
But it was almost as if Alexander couldn’t hear her at all—he simply walked out of the room without turning back. Cameron, who was watching both of them from behind, put on a puzzled expression when he noticed the disappointed expression on Tania’s face. Why do you look so dejected when your cousin’s fiancé leaves your room? Cameron gave Tania a long, thoughtful gaze before he walked out after Alexander.
Alexander walked over to the room that Joseph was in before he slammed the door behind him. His burly figure towered over the man sleeping in the glass coffin, and he let out a sigh as he looked at the man. How are you related to Elise? How does she truly feel about me? She sent a young girl over to me—is that something all women in love do? Or… Does she not care about how loyal I am to her? There were tons of questions running in his head, but the only answer he got was silence.
Elise took a trip to the black market, and it was already late in the evening by the time she got back. She heard a commotion going on next door, so she turned and walked over to Alexander’s area. When she got there, she saw chickens and ducks running all over the place. There were feathers flying all over the yard, and the whole place was an entire mess.
Tania was situated right in the middle of the yard with a knife in her hand. She was too terrified of the chickens and ducks to keep her eyes open, so she merely held the knife out in front of her as she swung it around while screaming. She didn’t manage to hit a single thing with her knife.
Elise felt like her eardrums were about to burst if she listened to Tania’s screams for any longer. With a flick of her right hand, a couple of needles slipped into Elise’s fingers, and she sent them flying out all at once. In an instant, all of the chickens and ducks collapsed onto the ground—Elise’s needles had done the work. The yard was finally peaceful again.
“Grandpa and Grandma both prefer a quiet environment, so you should stop making so much noise.” Elise turned around and walked off right after that.
Tania had her lips parted to say something, but she couldn’t find the words at all. In the end, Tania had no choice but to force herself to pick up all the chicken and duck carcasses and drag them into the kitchen.
