Chapter 767 Elise’s Ashes

When Adelpha heard her father’s words, she unconsciously lowered her voice as her eyes brightened

up.

“It is going great. I’ll be able to pass Grade 10 this time and join the Piano Association. Don’t worry,

Poppa.”

“That’s good news. You embarrassed me when you failed last time. I don’t want anything to go wrong

this time. Quickly get practicing!” Exhausted, Onyx only wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

“But, Anastasia asked me to make her plum pudding…” Adelpha took the opportunity to snitch.

Hearing that, he glanced at Elise angrily. “She wants to eat? Let her make it herself then! I want

everyone in the White Residence to listen—Adelpha’s hands are used to play the piano. I will punish

anyone who dares to hurt her hands!”

Onyx seemed like he was warning everyone in the house on the surface, but they all knew that the

words were for Elise alone.

With Onyx’s backing, Adelpha naturally didn’t have to be a slave to her sister anymore. After she threw

Elise a smug look, she went upstairs with him.

As soon as the father-daughter duo turned around the corner, they bumped into Jacob, who was about

to go downstairs.

Onyx quickly realized that the man Elise brought back was the same one Lyra had told him about on

the phone.

“Who are you? I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to have a long stay in someone else’s house for no

reason.” Onyx indirectly tried to get him out of the house.

Jacob then responded by nodding politely and starting, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Anastasia’s

husband. I will live with everyone in the future, so I hope we get along, dear father-in-law.”

“Hold your horses!” Onyx interrupted. “Who the hell are you calling your father-in-law? My daughter is

still an unmarried woman. Keep on with your nonsense and I’ll sue you for slander!”

“It is true.” Elise walked to Jacob from behind them. “We have already gotten our marriage certificate

abroad.”

“What? You got a marriage certificate? You actually made a decision on something so major without

discussing it with me first? What else have you done without telling me?!” Onyx’s anger rose again just

as he had calmed down.

“There are a lot of things you don’t know. I am afraid you won’t be able to handle it if I were to tell you

everything all at once,” replied Elise with a calm expression.

His face was flushed and his eyes were resentful as he glared at the duo. He took some time to

suppress his anger before directing it to Jacob. “What is your family name? What is your name? Where

are you from? What does your family do?”

“He is just like you. He comes from a poor family too. He is the poor son-in-law who marries into the

rich White Family,” Elise intentionally mocked her father.

As expected, Onyx started foaming at the mouth and chided, “What the hell are you talking about?

Who told you that I was someone who married into a rich family?!”

“Oh, I misspoke. The money the whole family spends is my mother’s dowry, after all, so it is no wonder

I thought so. You are an elder, and I hope you don’t blame me for it.”

With just a few words, Elise had proven that Onyx was a man who relied on a woman. She was even

telling him to hold himself in after she pointed her finger at him.

Onyx’s cheeks were puffed in annoyance, but it was true that he shouldn’t be angry at someone much

younger. All he could do then was speed up his pace as he stomped back to her room.

As soon as he closed the door behind him, a disgusting smell immediately entered his nostrils, making

him hold his breath while he pinched his nose.

“What is that smell? Why does it stink so bad?!”

As Onyx complained out loud, the bathroom door opened and Lyra came stumbling out while leaning

against the wall.

“Dear, you are finally back. I have been having diarrhea the whole night and morning. Hurry up and get

me a doctor…”

Lyra was so weak that she couldn’t stand still. Just as she finished speaking, she felt her stomach

tumbling again. She couldn’t at all control the ring of muscle on her behind from releasing bottom

burps.

Onyx, who was on the verge of throwing up, couldn’t utter another word. With his mouth covered, he

sprinted out of the room and into the guest room across from his bedroom.

Elise only watched all this calmly before she glanced at the arrogant Adelpha before she swiftly walked

in the direction of her room.

Jacob followed her from behind and after entering the room, his experienced hand reached out to lock

the door.

She then took out her phone to scroll through the latest updates she had received. That was

Stephanie’s background, of whom Elise had investigated using other channels by avoiding

Dragonweiss and the SK Group.

Looking at it as a whole, nothing seemed to be particularly unusual. Stephanie had nothing to do with

the country, and she didn’t seem to be working in the same group as the people who had been secretly

trying to mess with Elise.

But if that was the case, why did Stephanie organize a global tour for SQ’s paintings?

She had found out Elise’s true identity the first time they met, but now she had joined hands with those

people and were blatantly pretending to be SQ to make money.

If getting money was Stephanie’s intention, why did she sell a painting for only half a million?

Seeing Elise’s frown, Jacob offered to shoulder the burden. “Master, should I find out more?”

“Not now.” Elise tilted her head to look behind her with a solemn and alert expression. “Elijah is looking

for us high and low. We mustn’t give them any leads now. Besides, I need rest too. There is nothing

wrong with avoiding the limelight. Let’s just live the life of the young lady of the White Family and

avenge her. At least we are making sure Anastasia rests in peace.”

“I understand.” Jacob bent his upper body and immediately retreated to the living room.

The ambience at the dining table would always be lifeless during mealtimes ever since Elise left.

Everyone would concentrate on eating their own food and by the end of their meals, the conversation

during the whole time would be no more than two sentences.

It was the same today evening at the Griffith Residence.

Madeline couldn’t help letting out a sigh after another when she looked at Alexander, who had visibly

lost weight. She used to dislike it when Elise would show up around, but all she wanted now was for

Elise to come back.

If only she had known how important Elise was to Alexander, Madeline would have said anything just to

make Elise stay then. She could do nothing now while watching Alexander gradually losing himself day

after day. The uncomfortable pain felt as though a knife had been dragged across her heart again and

again.

Madeline filled a bowl of cordyceps flower chicken soup, and had only opened her mouth to persuade

Alexander to eat it when a group of uninvited guests suddenly barged in from the main entrance.

“Where is Alexander? Did he die as well?!”

Hearing the aggressive footsteps of Elijah and his subordinates, the Griffiths tacitly put down their forks

as they got up and walked over.

“Where is my sister-in-law?” Danny was immediately upset when he didn’t see Elise anywhere.

“Of course I have brought her here.” Elijah glanced at him with a half-smile while he reached behind

him.

Seeing this, Marcus swiftly placed the box he was holding in Elijah’s hand.

Elijah proceeded to drag the box and held it in front of him. “Here, she is all in here. Take her back with

you.”

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Alexander in an attempt to provoke Alexander.

However, Alexander remained unfazed despite that. It was impossible for Elijah to know what the other

man was thinking when he didn’t have a trace of emotion show on his face.

“What is this?” Danny demanded. With his hands in his pockets and his head tilted, he looked

especially intimidating.

The smile on Elijah’s face deepened then. His squinted eyes suddenly had an evil glint in them. “It is…

Elise’s ashes…” He dragged out his answer.

Danny was enraged in that instant. He rushed over and grabbed Elijah by the collar, and raising one

fist, he yelled, “You f*cker! What the hell are you talking about?! My sister-in-law won’t die! She can’t

die!”
