Moreover, handing over the entire company to her, Mr. White was also worried. His daughter was relatively innocent. If she was deceived by some guy… Nowadays, in society, there are news reports of sons-in-law harming their father-in-law’s families.
But now, it’s alright… With Elisa around, if Elisa marries Louis, he can divide some of the property to her, letting her manage the entire White Group.
Mr. White was calculating, thinking about how Elisa earned tens of billions in just a year. He had to retain such talent.
So he immediately called Louis. The call went through, and a cold system prompt came from the other end.
-“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy…”
Louis hung up.
Mr. White was already used to it. Louis hung up once, he called again, and continued until the fifth call.
Perhaps irritated by the repeated ringing, Louis finally answered.
“What is it?”
Mr. White first complained: “You hung up on me four times.”
“If you don’t have anything important to say, I will hang up the fifth time.”
Louis always meant what he said. Mr. White quickly stopped him on the phone.
“Wait, don’t hang up. I have something to tell you.”
Louis restrained his patience. “What is it?”
Mr. White said, “Bring your girlfriend back for dinner. Your mother misses her, and your sister keeps talking about her…”
Louis always felt that Mr. White’s tone was off. In the past, when Mr. White mentioned Elisa, he always referred to her as “that woman,” but this time, he called her your girlfriend.
This proved that Mr. White had completely accepted Elisa. It made sense, considering how excellent Elisa was. If his father still thought she wasn’t good, he probably had vision problems.
“I need to ask Elisa if she’s willing to come.”
Mr. White quickly said, “Ask her properly. Also, what does she like to eat? Tell me, and I’ll have someone buy it and have the chef prepare it later.”
Louis listed a bunch of things Elisa liked to eat, too many for Mr. White to remember, so he just recorded it and planned to listen to it later.
After the call ended, Mr. White arranged for people to prepare. When Brittany returned and saw the grand preparations at home, it looked as if they were preparing for an important guest. She grabbed the butler and asked, “Are we expecting any guests at home?”
“Master Louis and his girlfriend Miss Powell are coming.”
“You mean Elisa is coming?”
“Yes, sir informed us to prepare.”
“I’ll go ask my dad.” Brittany took a few steps and suddenly turned back, “Is my dad at home?”
“He should be drinking tea in the yard.”
Brittany ran excitedly to the backyard and saw Mr. White leisurely sitting in a rocking chair, a table in front of him with tea cups. He was sitting with his legs crossed, humming a tune with sunglasses on his face.
“Dad.”
The sudden “Dad” interrupted the tune Mr. White was humming. His sunglasses slid down his nose, and he straightened up, “What’s up?”
“Um, is Elisa coming tonight?”
Mr. White nodded and looked up at Brittany’s flushed face. She must have run all the way, her face was red from exhaustion.
“Yes, I just called your brother to bring his girlfriend home for dinner.”
So she’s really coming? Brittany’s eyes sparkled, “Then I’ll go upstairs and change into something nice.”
Your brother is bringing his girlfriend for dinner and you’re changing clothes? Mr. White looked at his daughter’s back in wonder, wondering what she was thinking. Brittany took a few steps, then suddenly turned back with a serious expression.
“Dad, don’t call Elisa ‘your brother’s girlfriend’ from now on. She has a name, Elisa. It’s very disrespectful.”
Being inexplicably reprimanded, Mr. White was stunned, “Since when did you become so close with her?”
“None of your business.” Brittany huffed and ran back home, going straight upstairs to pick out clothes.
Brittany had always been a fan of Elisa. She noticed her when she debuted in a campus youth drama. Her face was attractive, but unfortunately, in the following years, there were various strange styles and endless scandals.
Brittany had felt it was a pity at first, as it was rare for someone to match her aesthetic. Until last year, when Elisa appeared on “Weekend Show,” Brittany noticed her again. This time, she not only liked her looks but also came to appreciate her acting skills.
Inside Brittany’s room, there were many of Elisa’s autographed photos, DVDs, and she even found a way to obtain behind-the-scenes footage of her variety show recordings and material from her TV drama shoots.
Fans should keep a distance from their idols, and Brittany always thought so until the rumors between Louis and Elisa surfaced. It was the first time she experienced the feeling of “the sky falling.” It was like a bolt from the blue, leaving her mind blank, incredulous, and indescribable.
She could have continued deceiving herself until last New Year when Louis brought Elisa to the White family.
She saw her own world collapse before her eyes, and all she could do was distract herself with her phone, deliberately ignoring Elisa’s every move.
