Ch. 191..200

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 191

“Send me the coordinates and I’ll come over immediately.” After hanging up the phone, Molly asked, “Miss Sinclair, is it your boyfriend?” “It’s my fiancé,” Elise explained with a smile. The answer had left Molly completely dumbfounded because Elise looked less than 20 years old, but she already had a fiancé. “Miss Sinclair, can I take the liberty to ask how old you are?” With a raised eyebrow, Elise answered, “I will be exactly 18 years old in a month’s time.” A surprised Molly clarified, “Then, you should still be in school, right?” Elise nodded. “I’m in my senior year of high school now.”

Molly thought that Elise was remarkable at such a young age. Not only did she have an insanely good talent in design, she also had a romantic relationship. Thus, it made the 25-year-old and still single Molly extremely envious of Elise. “Miss Sinclair, you are really a role model for the women of our generation. Come, let me toast this glass of wine to you.” Molly held the glass of wine and clinked it with Elise’s before they drained it in one go

Next, Elise complimented from the bottom of her heart, “You are also great! I can see that you have some talent in design, so you can try to create your own designs. Who knows, maybe you’ll reveal a new world.” Since it was Elise who said this, Molly was speechless with excitement. She hurriedly opened her bag and took out a stack of A4 paper from it. “Actually, I usually draw on my own when I have nothing to do, but I have never shown my designs to anyone. Miss Sinclair, why don’t you take a look for me and give me some pointers as well?” Once again, Elise nodded and replied, “I’m not sure if I can give any pointers, but I can help you to look at it, though.”

Then, she turned the stack of A4 paper, which was filled with Molly’s designs of clothes. It was exceptionally conservative and not bold enough, which made it look inexperienced although her works were interesting. After seriously reviewing the drawings, Elise commented, “Your designs are not bad, but not bold enough. If you use bolder elements, the effect will be very distinct.” She removed one of the designs and added, “Consider this one and look at the design of your dress. The hemline can be increased by a tad bit, so as to achieve a slimming effect, and it will also look more three-dimensional.

Moreover, you can add a little trim at the hemline to avoid it from being too boring.” Molly’s eyes brightened as she listened to Elise’s words. She no longer cared about the barbeque and quickly took out a pen from her pocket instead. Then, she began to modify the design and changed all the areas that Elise had pointed out. With that, her eyes lit up in pleasure. “Miss Sinclair, you’re really great.” Then, an excited Molly kissed her work several times. She had previously lacked confidence in her own work and couldn’t get to the root of the problem.

However, now that Elise had brought up the issues in her work, Molly was suddenly enlightened and inspiration gushed into her mind like a spring. “Miss Sinclair, I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. No, I have to record it first.” So, she took the pen and began to seriously draw. Elise was aware that it was arduous for a designer to be inspired, so she didn’t bother Molly and merely sat aside to eat her barbeque silently. Soon, Alexander came over and approached Elise. “Are you done?” She put down the barbeque in her hand, then looked at Molly next to her.

“It’s no longer early. You should head home.” Molly raised her eyes and only then noticed him next to her. For a moment, her eyes widened in shock. “A-Aren’t you Alexander Griffith?” There was excitement in her tone as everyone in Athesea knew who Alexander was. He was the dream of thousands of girls, yet he turned out to be Elise’s boyfriend. “Miss Sinclair, I’m not dreaming, right? He’s your fiance?” Elise nodded. “Yes.” Molly wasn’t only admiring Elise; she was also envious of the woman. “Miss Sinclair, in that case, I’ll take my leave first.

Thank you,” she responded. Then, she waved at them both before fleeing the scene in a flash. After withdrawing her gaze, Elise suggested, “Let’s go back too.” However, Alexander didn’t move, but merely looked at her, after which he took a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth. “It’s freezing and you’re still out; remember to return home earlier in the future,” he said. He removed his scarf and wrapped it around her neck before he held her hand. After that, they walked together toward the location of the car. As they walked side by side, they looked harmonious from behind.

“I have modified the outfit,” Elise said. “Come with me to try it tomorrow.” Alexander replied, “Sure.” The next day, Brendan arrived at the design studio earlier; however, once he entered the office, he unexpectedly found someone even earlier than him. “Molly, why are you here ahead of time?” Molly raised her head and saw him before quickly greeted, “Good morning, Boss! I didn’t have anything to do, so I decided to come over earlier.”

However, he noticed that she was in the middle of drawing something and asked, “Are you drawing?” She rubbed her head in embarrassment and replied, “I’m just drawing casually; it doesn’t matter.” Upon hearing this, he didn’t say anything else, but asked again, “How is Elise’s outfit alteration coming along?” “Miss Sinclair has already modified it,” she quickly answered. “It’s now hanging in the room.”

The moment Brendan heard Molly’s answer, he was amazed that Elise could modify the outfit in just one day. Aside from being surprised, he was also curious as to how she was able to alter it in the end. Then, he asked Molly, “What do you think of her revised outfit?” She truthfully opined, “Boss, I think Miss Sinclair is exceptionally talented in design and I kind of admire her work.” He thought that she was afraid to be honest because of Elise’s status, so he didn’t take her words seriously. “Okay then, let me know when they come over later.” “Yes, boss.” Elise and Alexander both arrived a short while later. Although Brendan was drawing at that moment, he was obviously a little distracted.

“Boss, Miss Sinclair and President Griffith are here.” Brendan casually dropped the pen in his hand before he rose to his full height and walked out. “Alex, Elise.” Alexander gave a slight nod. “I came to see the outfit.” However, Brendan looked at Elise. “Elise has already modified it; why don’t we let Elise head off to change into it?” Thus, she stood up and headed for the dressing room while Molly quickly took the initiative to help. “Miss Sinclair, let me help you.” Elise returned the smile and thanked her, after which the two entered the dressing room together.

“Alex, you’re pampering her.” Brendan couldn’t help but whisper; he was finding that Alexander was a little too indulgent with Elise. Alexander immediately responded, “I only have her as my wife, so who else should I spoil if not her? You?” When Brendan heard the reply, he was instantly silenced. “She is your sister-in-law, so try to help her more if she needs anything in the future,” Alexander added before he shot Brendan a glance. “Don’t bully her just because I’m not here.”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 192

Brendan hastily elaborated, “Alex, what are you saying? No matter what, I wouldn’t dare to bully Elise.” However, he already understood that Elise’s position in his elder brother’s heart had far surpassed that of his brothers. The two people were talking when the door of the dressing room was opened. Soon, Elise gracefully appeared in front of them in a white dress and they stared at her in awe at once. Alexander’s gaze was full of appreciation; when he saw the dress before its alteration, he had already appreciated Brendan’s skills in design.

Now that he saw the improved piece today, he only felt that Elise was more capable than Brendan. “Not bad,” he complimented. “It’s gorgeous.” As for Brendan, he was filled with incredulity. He was aware of his own design skills and that he was definitely one of the best designers in the country, but when he saw this dress in front of him, he had to admit that he had been too conceited. Elise’s design was very bold as she incorporated traditional craftsmanship into her work, which enhanced the entire gown’s artistic sense. Moreover, with her alluring figure, the gown looked absolutely flawless.

If his gown could be called a good design, then Elise’s modification had only transformed into a work of art. “Elise, I finally understand the meaning of your words. Your choice of material is not only light, but also beautiful while lending a floaty, airy sense to the dress,” he spoke with conviction. Then, he went up and carefully looked at the dress before noticing that all the stitches were done by hand, yet there wasn’t a slightest problem with it. So, it was clear that her skills were definitely not lower than his. “How did you manage to finish such gorgeous work in one day, Elise?”

When she saw that everyone was satisfied with her work, Elise replied, “Actually, I only made certain modifications from your design. It has already achieved the effect I wanted, so what do you think of it?” “I didn’t expect you to have such talent in design.” Alexander nodded in approval. “However, this embroidery style of yours seems a bit familiar.” He felt that he had seen it somewhere before whereas Elise reacted in time. She knew that her own works would always bear remnants of her unique style, but as Alexander and Brendan might not have seen any of her works before, she replied, “I just thought it looks perfect, therefore I embroidered it.”

Alexander didn’t think much about it and replied, “This dress suits you well, so wear it.” Brendan also added, “Alex, since this dress was modified by Elise, we’ll exempt the design fee, but Elise, I want to discuss with you about something. Once your engagement party is over, will you leave this dress in my store as a showcase of our designs?” Elise didn’t have any opinion because engagement dresses like this were only worn once in a lifetime, so it was fine to display it in his store. “Sure, I will do that.” He was overjoyed when he obtained her consent.

Then, Alexander mentioned, “Go and change out of the dress; I’m going to take you somewhere.” After she nodded, she went to the dressing room, after which she entered the car from the design studio. Then, the car started before they drove out. “Where are we going?” Alexander wore a mysterious look. “You’ll know in a moment.” As she felt that he had always been mysterious, she casually asked, “Did you prepare a surprise for me?” He nodded without any hesitation. “Yes.” Upon hearing that, Elise did not hold back a snort of laughter. “I was pulling your leg.

Why did you say yes?” However, Alexander clarified, “I’m not joking with you! I’ve truly prepared a surprise for you.” This time, it was her turn to be dumbfounded. There is really a surprise? Thus, she also began to wonder what the surprise was. The car slowly drove to the most high-end shopping mall in Athesea. Before alighting from the vehicle, Alexander deliberately removed the ID card in his wallet and placed it in his pocket. Then, both he and Elise got out of the car. When they arrived at the mall, she had roughly guessed why they came—it was probably that Alexander wanted to buy her something.

She thought of many possibilities such as clothes, bags, and lipstick… The only thing she did not expect was that he actually brought her to pick out diamonds. Alexander took her to a high-end diamond ring customization center of Dring’s and as soon as the sales lady entered, she spoke enthusiastically, “President Griffith, you’re here.” “Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?” She answered, “It’s ready. It’s over here, so come this way please.”

With that, the sales lady took Alexander and Elise to the VIP room and took out a delicate small box to hand it to him the moment they arrived. “President Griffith, this is the one.” The moment Alexander opened it, a pink diamond glittered in front of everyone’s eyes. It was a large and dazzling pink diamond, to which Elise fancied a lot. Suddenly, she saw him kneeling on one knee and presenting the ring to her as he asked, “Miss Elise Sinclair, are you willing to marry me?”

Elise had imagined the scene of being proposed to countless times, but she never thought that this day would come so quickly and suddenly. Hence, she was completely caught off guard. “You… What are you doing? Get up!” She was a little anxious; although it was only the two of them, she still felt a little embarrassed. However, he simply said, “This diamond is 5.2 carats large and is the one that I’ve painstakingly chosen for you as the most suitable engagement gift.

I am willing to give you a lifetime commitment because a man can only customize one diamond ring from Dring in his lifetime using his ID card. Therefore, I am willing to bind this diamond ring to my ID number, meaning that you are my only true love in this lifetime.” When she saw him being serious, disbelief danced in her eyes. In fact, his eyes had also clearly reflected her shock and at this moment, her heart was touched by what he said. “Miss Elise Sinclair, are you willing to marry me?” he asked again. Elise looked at him and broke into a smile as their gazes met.

Then, she nodded solemnly. “I am!” Upon hearing this, Alexander slowly inserted the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand before Elise pulled him to his feet. This was followed by Alexander handing his ID card and bank card to the sales lady. “I’ll take this diamond. Go ahead and swipe the card.” The sales lady had a delighted expression as she hastily took both items. “Of course, President Griffith.”

After she left, Elise pulled the corner of Alexander’s coat and asked in a small voice, “This diamond should be very expensive, right?” Alexander rubbed her head and responded with a slightly doting tone, “Diamonds have a price, but you are priceless. Compared to you, it is just insignificant.”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 193

It was just a simple sentence, but Elise had the feeling of being valued. She smiled and looked at Alexander before she slowly said, “Thank you for your love. I will not disappoint you.” His throat moved, and surprisingly, he did not hold back from leaning down to kiss her lips. However, it was just a light kiss before he broke away and seductively mentioned, “What should I do? I feel like I want to hide you away.” Her face flushed and she stammered for a long time without forming a complete sentence. “Y-You… Let’s go home first.” After saying that, she pushed him away and the two kept a certain distance.

Immediately after that, she took a step to walk out. As he gazed at her back, his lips curled upward before he closely followed her. The atmosphere between them had obviously now changed. Elise lowered her gaze to look at the diamond on her finger and inexplicably felt that her limb now weighed a thousand times heavier. Although the glittering ring was extraordinarily dazzling under the sunlight, it was hard to believe that she would soon be a married woman. Nevertheless, her heart was full of happiness. “Get in the car, I’ll take you back,” he spoke.

She agreed and entered the car. Afterward, she stole a glance at Alexander, still feeling that everything wasn’t real as if it was a dream. Obviously, a few months ago, they did not even have the slightest interaction with each other. If it weren’t for Jonah— As she thought about this, her eyes suddenly dimmed. Was he good to her also because of Jonah? … The 10th day of the 1st month was the most auspicious day and the day that Alexander and Elise were engaged. She walked out while holding Laura’s hand to accept everyone’s blessings and the white gown that she wore had accentuated her beauty. Soon, Laura led her to Alexander before she solemnly handed Elise to him.

“Alex, Ellie is a treasure that you must cherish. In the future, you must treat her well and not let her suffer. You two should lead a harmonious life, love each other, and grow old together.” At this moment, Elise’s eyes inexplicably reddened as she reached out to hug Laura while saying, “Grandma, I can’t bear to let you go.” Laura laughed and patted Elise’s back. “Silly girl, what nonsense! Today is a good day for your engagement, so be happy.” Elise released Laura from her embrace before nodding. It was only then that Laura took a brocade box from her pocket. “This is my engagement gift to you. I hope you can be forever filled with happiness, Ellie.” After taking it, Elise solemnly answered, “Thank you!” Laura waved a hand.

“Go ahead, my dear.” Alexander, who was on the side, also said to her, “Grandma, don’t worry. I will treat her well.” “Good, good; as long as you two are happy, we as the elders will also be happy.” As Elise could feel Laura’s smile was forced, she spoke, “Grandma, don’t worry. We will definitely be happy.” Later, she held his arm and told herself at this moment that she needed to be happy with him in the future. Several brothers of the Griffith Family also sent their blessings to them while Danny approached them and presented them with a gift of an outfit.

“Boss, Alex, this is my gift to you both. I hope you have a happy engagement.” “Thank you!” Elise responded before she accepted his gift. Suddenly, he approached her again and whispered, “Boss, today is such a good day. Do you want to play games together?” She saw his expectant face and could not refuse him, so she agreed. “I’ll play two games with you later.” Upon hearing this, he was delighted. “Yay, thanks, boss!”

When Elise saw him being happy, she shook her head a little helplessly whereas Jack, who was at the side, couldn’t help but ask, “Danny, what is making you so happy?” Danny looked arrogant and replied, “Nothing, I’m just playing games with the boss a little later.” Jack felt that Danny was behaving a little bit strange. It was just Danny and Elise playing a game together, so Jack couldn’t understand his excitement. “You’re just playing a game, so why are you so excited?” When Danny realized that Jack was still unaware of Elise’s identity, he was mysterious as he answered, “If it is a game with ordinary people, that is nothing. It’s a different story when that person is my boss.”

It was only at that moment when Jack realized that Danny kept addressing Elise as his ‘boss’. When did their relationship improve tremendously? Apart from that, Danny was such an arrogant young master that it was unbelievable that he would actually be so subservient to Elise, which puzzled Jack. When Danny saw a confused Jack, he added, “You don’t know the influence of my boss, so you’re confused. If you know the identity of my boss, I guarantee that you will have the same reaction as me.” The corners of Jack’s mouth twitched.

“You’re being weirder by the minute. She’s a girl and playing a game for boys. It’s already amazing that she can play a game or two well, so how can she be a master at it?” In the past, Danny certainly wouldn’t believe it if someone had said that Elise was a gamemaster, but he had personally witnessed her playing the game as Ellimane. Thus, his admiration for Elise deepened over time. “Why don’t you come along and join the fun tonight?” he asked. Although Jack was initially not interested, his curiosity was aroused when he saw how excited Danny was.

“Sure, I’ll play with you guys tonight,” he said casually without thinking much about it. Soon, after the engagement party, Elise changed into another attire and handed her gown to Molly, who notified, “Miss Sinclair, I’ll send this dress for dry cleaning first and leave it in the design studio to hang up later, according to the boss’ wishes. You can come directly to the design studio to pick it up if you need it later.” Elise agreed.

“Sure, thank you.” Then, Molly solemnly said, “Miss Sinclair, I should be the one to thank you; if it weren’t for your guidance, I think I wouldn’t dare to show my work to everyone even until now. You not only corrected my problematic areas, but also gave me direction, so I should be the one to thank you.” “Your design has a lot of potential, so do your best,” Elise encouraged. Her words made Molly more confident.

“I understand, Miss Sinclair. I will continue to work hard.” After Molly left, Elise sighed with relief. The engagement party was finally over wherein she and Alexander were officially engaged. Thus, she raised her eyes and looked at her usual plain face in the mirror. Should I find an opportunity to tell Alexander the truth?

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 194

Well, my quinceañera is just about a month away, so maybe I could tell Alexander the truth then, Elise thought. Later that night, the Griffith Residence was filled with lively vibes and conversation, making it feel like everyone had not mingled with each other for ages. In the meantime, Danny glanced at his watch and turned his attention to the door shortly before he heard someone approaching from afar. Soon, he exclaimed in surprise, “You’re back, Boss!” A confused Elise asked, “What’s the matter?” He felt slightly helpless with her forgetfulness and reminded her with a soft voice, “Boss, you said you’ll play with us tonight.”

As soon as he finished his words, their conversation was interrupted by Alexander’s comment. “I didn’t take you for a gamer, Elise.” Before Elise could respond, Danny beat her to it and replied, “You know what? My boss is the best gamer out there. In fact, she’s been occupying the top spot on the rank all the while. Do you have any idea how hard that is? Well, my boss has accomplished that!” Upon hearing that, a stunned Alexander looked at her while she faked a cough to mask her awkwardness. “Well, that was a long time ago. Moreover, since I haven’t played a game in a while, my skills are rusty.”

However, no one expected him to ask the million dollar question. “So, you’re Ellimane?” When Elise nodded in response, surprise and disbelief danced in his eyes. Meanwhile, as Danny was impatient and couldn’t wait any longer, he had invited KK and Jack together with the rest. Then, he seized her hand and scurried off. “Let’s go, Boss. I can’t wait to start the game with the others.” Once Danny had taken her upstairs, they spotted Jack, who had already played a few rounds while being glued to his phone. Upon noticing their presence, Jack didn’t seem to be startled as he noted, “Hurry up and get started!

We’ve been waiting for you two like forever.” Then, Danny passed a mobile phone to her, whereupon she sat down and logged into their game. Unknown to them, Alexander soon arrived and made his presence felt. “Are you here to witness our battle, Alexander?” Danny asked in a humorous manner, but Alexander only had his eyes on Elise while radiating an enigmatic and unfathomable aura. Although she had no idea what it meant, she didn’t bother to dwell too much on it. “I’m here to check out what’s going on,” he answered as he sat down beside her.

On the other hand, Jack couldn’t help but feel annoyed with the newly-engaged couple. Thus, he commented, “Alexander, are you trying to make me feel jealous? You do know that I’m single, don’t you?” Alexander replied with a cold grunt and retorted, “Well, what about you? Do you have trouble looking for a girlfriend?” Jack was rendered tongue-tied as he thought that he should take back what he had said since he was a bachelor in hot demand. “Hurry up and join in, Boss,” Danny urged while Elise logged into her own account. However, as she made it to the login page, the mobile app suddenly became unresponsive.

“What’s going on?” She tapped the screen a few times to make it respond, but to no avail. In the meantime, Alexander, who was watching aside, saw her username and confirmed that she was indeed Ellimane. Soon, he quickly realized that her phone had too many unread messages that slowed down her phone’s processor, so he answered, “Well, you have too many messages, so all you have to do is just delete some of it.” A confused Elise left the app and started to clean her internal storage. Then, when she logged into the account once again, the app seemed to be much smoother even though there were more than 999 messages in her inbox.

Upon noticing it, she found out that those messages were from other players asking about her return to the game. As she was surprised by how well known she was in the world of the mobile game, Elise eventually decided to invite the other players to join the match. Thus, she posted a status on her news feed that read, ‘Join me to have fun playing games tonight, would you?’ The moment that her post was published and seen by the whole world, it quickly amassed a huge number of likes and comments, many of which were invitations for her to join a game.

Nevertheless, Danny, who knew how influential Ellimane could be, was stunned by what he saw and said, “Boss, you said you’re only going to play with us tonight.” Elise explained in embarrassment, “I know, but we can always play together whenever we’re free, so why don’t we get more people to join in and have fun tonight?” Meanwhile, Jack was still unaware of the situation until he logged into his own account that he never used for the longest time. When he saw Ellimane’s name at the top of the rank, he sighed. “Alas! Ellimane still occupies the top spot even though she hasn’t been playing for ages.”

Upon hearing that, Danny sniggered and secretly laughed at Jack, who was unaware of Ellimane’s actual identity. Poor Jack! I wish you will know that Ellimane and Elise are the same person sooner. Anyway, let’s have some fun and see how it plays out. “Hey Jack, since you have such a high regard for Ellimane, what do you think if we could play a few rounds with her?” As he knew his own limits, Jack answered, “Is that even a question? We’re going to be crushed like ants.” “Let’s find out then.”

Danny chuckled. He found Danny’s words strangely unbelievable; he never thought that an elite gamer like Ellimane would be interested to play a match with them. Thus, he secretly mocked Danny. This guy must still be dreaming. “Are you saying you’ve been playing with Ellimane?” As soon as Jack posed his question, the entire atmosphere was shrouded in silence. Soon, Elise looked up and shot him a gaze, but was interrupted by Danny, who probed, “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?” “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but someone like Ellimane isn’t going to waste time playing with nobodies like us,” Jack replied, unable to shake off the weird feeling.

While she was rendered speechless, a stoic Danny asked, “What if I could make that happen?” Jack shrugged his shoulders. “Are you sure? Do you know Ellimane? If that’s the case, I’ll give you my character’s skin.” “It’s a deal then,” Danny replied. “Just make sure you don’t go back on your word.” Upon hearing that, Jack had a bad feeling as if he was walking right into Danny’s trap. In the meantime, Elise sighed and asked, “Jack, can you also give me your character’s skin?” As his confusion was written all over his face, he suddenly noticed a notification at the bottom left on the screen of his mobile phone.

‘Ellimane has invited you to join the game.’ After pausing for a few seconds, he announced, “Ellimane is inviting me to join the game.” Three pairs of eyes turned to him the moment he finished his sentence. At the same time, she brandished the mobile phone in her hand and asked, “What’re you waiting for? Join in. Since you promised Danny that you’ll give him your skin, I figure it’s time for me to share with you a tip or two as your boss.”

Wait what? Ellimane is Elise?! Are they actually the same person?! Jack could only hear his head buzzing. “You’re Ellimane?” He felt as if everything around him had changed because he found it hard to believe that a country bumpkin like Elise was actually Ellimane—the person who dominated the world of mobile games. No way. There must be something wrong with my login.

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 195

“What are you staring at? Come on in,” Danny said before he reached out to press the confirm button for his guest. When Jack entered the lobby and saw Ellimane’s ID on the first row of their team’s list of players, he finally believed that Elise was indeed the legendary Ellimane. After he gulped, he spoke, “I’ve already sent you a new set of skin to your account. Please remember to accept them.” Danny giggled. “That was quick! I’ll have to thank you for that then!” Then, Jack turned toward Elise again. “Let me buy you a full set of skin since you’re helping me to level up.”

Before Elise could even say anything, Danny quickly stepped in on her behalf. “Are you seriously negotiating with her? My Boss has never even trained me in any of our games, so how can I let you take advantage of this?” “Fine, I’ll help you guys to level up just for tonight,” came her reply. Upon hearing her reply, both men immediately became eager. At this moment, even Alexander raised his eyebrows before he leaned over and whispered, “Are you planning to play till midnight with them?” Elise explained, “Since it’s really rare and difficult for us to gather together, I guess we will be doing so.” Then, he quickly reached out for his phone. “Why don’t you coach me as well?”

His request rendered her speechless. Nevertheless, she went along with it when she noticed that Alexander meant business. “Sure, let me send you an invite.” And so, Elise ended up mentoring all three of them for the entire night, which resulted in them levelling up by 12 levels. Even though it was already midnight, Danny’s dedication to the game was evident as he was exuberant and showed no signs of fatigue. As it was really nice to be mentored in the game, Jack was completely focused as well. He used to be the worst player in the game and finally experienced how it was like to be a winner that night.

As they continued playing, the sky started to brighten up until traces of the previous dark night were completely gone. While Elise stretched, she suggested, “Why don’t we head to bed? I’m so worn out after pulling an all-nighter on the game.” Alexander kept his phone away as well. “It’s rest time then! Let’s play again when we’re free.” However, Danny didn’t look exhausted as he quickly replied, “Boss, Alex, in that case, you guys should rest.

I think I’ll stay on for a few more games.” Jack chimed in as well. “I’m not tired as well. You guys should rest first.” When she noticed that they were still energetic, she didn’t say anything and headed upstairs with Alexander after bidding the young men goodnight. When she arrived at the corridor and wanted to head to her room, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace. “Aren’t you coming with me?” Elise’s face flushed when the man’s seductive voice rang out. “W-What are you doing? Let me go.” Yet, he tightened his grip on her. “Why don’t you come with me?

Hmm?” “No,” she rejected. Although she was his fiancee, she still wasn’t mentally ready to accept the fact. At the same time, when Alexander saw her frightened look, he felt bad and ruffled her hair as he only initially wanted to tease her. “That’s alright. I was just kidding. I won’t force you if you don’t want to.” Elise sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry. I—” Nevertheless, he interrupted her before she could say anything else. “It’s okay, don’t apologize.

I’ll wait for you. I’ll continue to do so until you finally decide to open up to me.” She immediately lowered her head before she quickly nodded. “Quickly return to your room and rest then!” Alexander said before leaning toward her to give her a peck, after which she waved at him and returned to her room. After spending the entire night awake, Elise was extremely exhausted and fell asleep the moment she got in bed. Meanwhile, Molly had brought the gown that Elise designed to the atelier. As she placed the bag that was used to carry the attire, she took a hanger to hang the gown while she gasped for air.

After that, she started to intently observe the apparel. The more she looked at it, the more she realized how detailed the design was, considering that the gown gave a different vibe with each glance. “Why are you here, Molly?” Suddenly, Brendan’s voice rang out, causing Molly to snap out of her daze. She immediately replied, “Mr. Griffith, I came to drop off the gown that Miss Sinclair has designed.” He glanced at the gown. “You can return to your work after leaving it here.” After a quick nod, Molly made her way out. At this moment, Brendan was the only one left in the spacious room.

As he stared at the gown in front of him, he felt his interest toward Elise deepening since he never expected the attire to undergo such a huge transformation after she took over. It was something that she had really surprised him with this time. When he arrived in front of the gown, he started to smoothen the wrinkles on the attire. Suddenly, he noticed something before his face turned pale. Then, he grabbed the gown and stared intently at its needlework. This kind of needlework was extremely familiar to him as it was the same method used by Lily, the worldwide famous wedding gown designer.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel curious. Lily’s designs had already taken the fashion industry by storm for close to eight years now. However, she was always a mysterious person, which explained why she hadn’t produced any new designs for many years. All of the wedding gowns that she had designed did not have a set market price currently; rumor had it that one of her gowns was even sold at the price of 300 million at an auction in France a year ago. Brendan, who was lucky enough to have personally witnessed Lily’s designs, was extremely familiar with her needlework.

He was even adamant until today that her needlework couldn’t be replicated as it was one of a kind. Still, how could it be possible that Elise had the same needlework as well? As he urgently needed an answer, he left the place and drove toward Griffith Residence. “Young Master Brendan, Miss Sinclair won’t be able to see you as she’s still resting.” Brendan paused when he heard Stella’s voice, to which he replied, “That’s alright.

Do you know when she will be up? I can wait for her in the living room.” “I…” Not knowing how to reply to him, Stella could only explain, “Miss Sinclair was awake the entire night yesterday to play games with the others, so she will probably only wake up during the afternoon.

Why don’t you come back later if you need to talk to her?” Brendan pursed his lips. “Alright, I understand. I won’t keep you away from your job then.” Moments after she left, he paused in his steps and looked up. When he saw Laura and Leonard tidying up the lawn, he recalled something and walked over to them.

It was already in the afternoon by the time Elise woke up. Her stomach growled as she took a look at the clock. After noticing that it was already 3:00PM, Elise pushed her blanket aside and got off the bed. Then, she started stretching before heading out of her room. “Stella, is there anything that I can eat? I’m starving!” Stella quickly replied, “What would you like to eat, Miss Sinclair? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it now.”

After contemplating for a moment, Elise answered, “Just get me a bowl of noodles! I want to fill up my stomach.” “Alright, Miss Sinclair. Please hang on for a moment.” Elise mumbled an answer and turned around to see Laura and Leonard chatting at the garden backyard and quickly walked over to them. “Grandpa, Grandma…” Laura turned around to see Elise, who looked as if she had just woken up. “Why are you up so late?” At this moment, Elise stuck her tongue out in embarrassment. “I stayed up late to play games last night and only slept in the morning. That’s why I woke up late today.” Instead of saying anything, Laura motioned for Elise to sit next to her. She couldn’t help but be worried when she recalled what Brendan told them earlier in the morning. “Ellie, I need to ask you something.” Meanwhile, Elise had a nonchalant look on her face. “What is it, Grandma?” Laura leaned toward her before asking in a low voice, “Ellie, have you been into designing again?” An odd look flashed past Elise’s face. However, she gave an honest answer since she had only altered her engagement gown and wasn’t involved in designing anything from scratch.

“Grandma, I only altered my wedding gown. I didn’t design anything.” A shocked Laura elaborated, “Brendan came over in the morning and tried to pry about you, but your grandpa and I know that you’re no longer involved with designing wedding gowns. So, we kept quiet and didn’t reveal anything.” Elise was curious as to why Brendan would attempt to ask her grandparents about her. Did he discover something? How is that even possible? “Grandma, why did he suddenly ask you guys about this?” It was something that Laura felt odd about as well.

Then, she asked, “Didn’t you say that you altered the gown? Could it be that he noticed something on the gown? Ellie, I’ll always support you even if you want to continue designing wedding gowns. You don’t have to hide your interests. I really hope that you can pursue the things that you like.” Elise reached out to hold Laura’s arm. “I know that! It’s just that I made a promise to someone not to be involved with the designing of wedding gowns as Lily unless we return to the fashion industry together. So, I’m not planning to do so right now. All I want is to complete my studies and enroll in college to continue with my tertiary education. Who knows I might even venture into something new?”

“What can I even tell you at this point? You already obtained a double degree abroad and you can easily take over the family business without even returning to your studies. Your grandpa and I believe that you’ll be able to handle the family business well.” “I’m still young, though!” Elise whined. “I’m only 18 and I still want to enjoy life as a student.” “Alright. You should continue pursuing your studies if that’s what you want! As long as you’re doing what you like, I’ll support you unconditionally.” “Thank you, Grandma!” She exclaimed before she inched closer to Laura’s side.

Despite that, all she thought about was Brendan’s words. It’s impossible for Brendan to associate me with Lily when all I did was rely on my thoughts to alter the gown. This should be a coincidence. At least that was what Elise thought, so she didn’t dwell too deep into it. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the school to reopen and for Leonard as Laura to head home. As a result, the large house became quiet and empty again.

Alexander was already waiting downstairs in the morning as Elise hurried downstairs while complaining, “Stella, why didn’t you wake me up on the first day of school? I’m going to be late now.” Stella gave Alexander an innocent look and remained silent before he elaborated, “I was the one who asked Stella not to wake you up so that you can have more sleep.” Then, Elise shot him a coquettish look. “Hey! I can’t be late on my first day of school.” Meanwhile, he reached out to hold her hand. “Come on, we won’t be late. Get in the car. I’ll send you to school.”

Upon seeing how adamant he was, Elise chose to believe him and entered the car while Alexander slid into the driver’s seat to start the car engine. He drove smoothly the entire journey, which allowed her to eat breakfast while studying for the new semester’s subjects. Since this was the last semester of high school with only three months before the finals, it was the most stressful period of any student’s schooling life.

At approximately five minutes before class, Alexander’s car stopped in front of the school’s entrance and Elise sighed in relief. “I’m going to class now. Have fun at work. Bye!” Yet, the car door didn’t bulge at all. “Alexander, why did you turn on the child safety lock?” He deeply gazed at her. “Aren’t we engaged now?” As she stared at the diamond ring on her hand, Elise mumbled an answer before Alexander’s voice rang out again, “Since we are engaged, shouldn’t we do that before we part ways… Hmm?” She blinked as she solemnly asked, “What do we do?

Alexander, can you be more upfront? I’m really going to be late now!” A helpless Alexander sighed. Looks like she really has no experience when it comes to this kind of stuff. Still, he could always take his time to slowly train her. “Come here.” While Elise obediently leaned toward him, he quickly planted a kiss on her forehead. “This is all I want. Do you get it now?” Upon knowing what he meant, her face quickly reddened.

“You… I… What are you still doing? Unlock the door!” Alexander finally allowed her to get out of the car. While he watched her leaving, he announced, “Come out the moment when class is done. I’ll be waiting here for you.” Elise’s back was still facing him, so she didn’t say anything in response.

Rather, she waved her hand in acknowledgment and fastened her pace. When she arrived at class, she noticed that the atmosphere was quiet and everyone was focused on their schoolwork in their seats. Then, she followed suit. When she noticed that Mikayla’s table, which was next to hers, was empty, she couldn’t help but wonder why Mikayla wasn’t at school.

While Elise was deep in thought, Danny came over with a glass of fruit juice and placed it on her table. “Boss, here’s some juice.” It was at this moment when she asked, “Have you seen Mikayla? Why didn’t she come today?” He replied, “Boss, didn’t you know? Mikayla has dropped out of school and came to settle the withdrawal procedure before school reopened. I heard that her family is migrating and they’re planning to leave in a day or two.”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 197

“What? She’s migrating…” Elise trailed off before she quickly took her phone to contact Mikayla. However, a cold robotic woman’s voice greeted her instead. “Sorry, the number that you’ve dialed is unreachable…” A sad Elise kept her phone away while Danny tried his best to console her. “Don’t worry, Boss. She will surely contact you when she’s there.” If Mikayla hadn’t lost her memories, Elise was sure that she’d definitely be able to contact her. However, now that Mikayla had lost her memories, would it be the end of their friendship? It was after this that Elise started to zone out and she was unable to focus during class whatsoever.

The homeroom teacher entered with a beautiful girl during the third period. “Quiet, everybody. This is Jacinda Kate, the newest addition to our class. I hope everyone will take good care of her.” Everyone started clapping immediately to welcome Jacinda while she grinned in response. “Hey, guys. My name is Jacinda and I’ll be your new classmate from today onward. I hope that we can all get along with each other.” With such an angelic voice and innocent look, she had instantly captured most of the guys’ attention.

“Hey, Jacinda, why don’t you sit next to me?” Although a male classmate had extended an invitation for her to sit with him, she had turned him down. Then, she turned toward Elise and approached her. “Hey, can I sit next to you?” Elise frowned as the seat next to her belonged to Mikayla. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before it would be occupied since Mikaya had already dropped out. Although she was reluctant to allow Jacinda to sit next to her, she didn’t have any valid reason to reject Jacinda either. “Sure.” A smiling Jacinda replied, “Thank you.”

Then, she sat down and placed her bag in the table drawer while her gaze was fixated on Elise’s face. Is this the ugly Elise that my cousin sister has mentioned? How unappealing. I wonder what kind of charisma she has to be able to defeat my elegant cousin to become Alexander’s fiancée. What a joke. Jacinda coldly chuckled before she composed herself and whispered to Elise, “Hello, may I know your name? Also, can you tell me what class we have next?” “Elise Sinclair. The timetable is on the whiteboard and you can copy a set for yourself if you need it.”

When she noticed Elise was being cold toward her, Jacinda’s dislike against Elise only grew stronger. How dare that ugly monster try to act cool around me? Just you watch. … “Hey, Jacinda. Here’s some chocolate that I bought…” “I purchased these lollipops for you…” “Do you like any of these snacks?” Many of the guys in class tried to woo Jacinda, who really enjoyed the attention that they were showering on her. And with a gentle voice, she thanked them. “Thank you, everyone!” “You’re welcome. Let us know if you need anything in the future.” Although Jacinda had chatted with them merrily and didn’t reject their gifts, her expression changed once they left.

It was moments later when she started complaining, “Are these people dumb? Who tries to woo girls with snacks and lollipops? Do they think that I’m a kid?” Then, she threw the snacks into the trash bin without any hesitation. Upon seeing that, Elise frowned a little but kept quiet. Unfortunately, Jacinda thought Elise was judging her and glared instead. “What are you staring at? Have you not received any gifts from guys before? Well, I guess no guy would buy gifts for ugly girls like you. I bet they don’t even want to spare any glance on you.” A speechless Elise retorted without any hesitation, “It seemed like you’ve mastered the art of being two-faced.”

“Who are you to talk to me like this? Do you know that I can destroy your reputation if I want to?” Jacinda threatened. It was obvious that she looked down on Elise. Elise could sense Jacinda’s hostility at this moment. However, she couldn’t recall that they had ever crossed paths before. Although it was their first time meeting each other, Jacinda’s hostility was obvious from the hatred in her eyes. Looks like she’s not here with good intentions. “You can give it a shot. We shall see who ends up with a destroyed reputation instead.” Upon saying those words, she stopped talking to Jacinda and went back to complete her schoolwork.

After class, Danny went over to give Elise the fruit juice that he bought. “Boss, have some juice!” Without looking up, she replied, “Thank you!” As he was used to her behavior, he didn’t say anything and returned to his seat. On the other hand, Jacinda knew who Danny was. In fact, she knew all about the Griffiths’ young masters. Nonetheless, she had only seen them in pictures; she never met them in person and didn’t have any interactions with them either.

Still, she knew the interests of the four masters. For example, Danny Griffith, who was in front of her, was an ignorant and arrogant person with an interest in car racing and gaming. But, why is he being so pleasant to the ugly monster? As she was unable to understand the connection even after pondering on it, she gave up and took the initiative to start a conversation with him to gain his favor. “Hey, Danny. I’m the new girl, Jacinda. I recently started a new mobile game, so would you like to play together with me when you’re free?”

At this moment, Danny was in the midst of doing his schoolwork when he heard a shrill voice, which caused him to frown. “There’s less than a hundred days until our finals and you’re still thinking of playing games? Leave me alone; stop bothering me when I’m studying.” Jacinda’s expression immediately changed the moment she was rejected and she didn’t know what to do next. Why is the rumored Danny Griffith way different from the one in person? “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were studying.” Normally, people would definitely soften upon seeing her apologetic expression.

However, as Danny had been hanging out too much with Elise and was used to her behavior, Jacinda’s fake affectionate manner was off putting for him. “Alright. Just stop talking to me,” he demanded, to which Jacinda’s face darkened. Still, she didn’t have the guts to retort and could only return to her seat. Simon Reid, who couldn’t really get along with Danny, explained, “Jacinda, don’t mind Danny. He always acts like that.” The handsome and wealthy Simon was a dreamy person, but he obviously couldn’t be compared to someone like Danny. Jacinda finally managed to find a sense of comfort from Simon.

“Thank you. Still, it was my fault for behaving out of my place. I didn’t know that Danny was a hardworking student who loves studying.” To be honest, he was just as shocked. “Danny has only started taking his studies seriously last semester. We all thought that it was for show, but he actually managed to obtain third place in our class during the finals last semester. It’s possible that he might be able to enroll into a prestigious school!”

She never knew that Danny was actually an intelligent student. So, that’s why Danny reacted that way when I invited him to play games with me. Looks like I have to strategize again. “I see! Thank you. I’ll buy you a meal someday later to return your kindness.” Simon would never reject a beautiful girl’s invitation, so he suggested, “Why must it be someday later when we can have a meal together today?

I know a nice place nearby. Why don’t we head over there after school?” Right at this moment, Jacinda, who wanted to know more about her new class, figured that it was a great opportunity to do so and agreed to Simon’s suggestion.

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 198

The moment Elise emerged from campus after class, she immediately spotted Alexander’s car from afar. Alexander opened his car door and immediately walked toward her before asking, “Are you done with classes?” Upon hearing his question, she nodded in response. Then, he held her by her hand and opened the car door for her. Many of her classmates started to comment about their interaction as they watched the scene unfold.

However, Elise couldn’t care less about what was happening behind her. As soon as Alexander entered the car, he started the car engine and drove off. “Are we heading home?” she asked. He gave a dry cough as he stole a glance at the notes he prepared before he replied, “Let’s dine out for dinner. After that, we’ll watch a movie in the cinema. I’ve already bought tickets for the rom com that just premiered.” Why does it feel like a date to me? A surprised Elise questioned, “Are you bringing me out on a date?” A soft hum was heard from Alexander as a response, which left her smiling from ear to ear and feeling inexplicably excited.

Soon, they arrived at an exclusive restaurant which served western cuisine. A man approached them moments after they sat down and were about to place their order. “Hello, Alexander! It’s been a while since I last saw you! I even thought I’ve mistaken someone else for you…” While raising his eyebrows, Alexander noticed that the man in front of him was his classmate from high school, Peter Simms. Although they hadn’t spoken to each other for many years, Alexander still politely greeted his ex-classmate, “It’s been a while, Peter.”

Peter was clearly aware of Alexander’s status as he had been trying to compare and compete with Alexander secretly throughout the years. Nonetheless, how could a small startup company like Peter’s ever defeat the Griffith Group, which had been in the market for more than a century? Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but be slightly jealous of Alexander. “Are you also here for dinner too? Oh, hello…” The nonchalant expression on Peter’s face suddenly darkened when he spotted Elise. Why is Alexander, the well known heir of Griffith Group, having dinner with such an ugly woman?

“Young Master Alex, is this your servant?” The question slipped right out of his mouth before he even realized it. Both Elise and Alexander’s expressions sank almost immediately as a result. Just as she was about to respond, Alexander reached out to give her hand a squeeze before introducing her to Peter, “This is my fiancée, Elise.” Such a short and simple answer was enough to startle Elise slightly. Even Peter was stunned. Wait, what? The ugly-looking lady is actually his fiancée? “Hehe… It seems like you have a different taste when it comes to women, Alexander!”

His words had dripped with sarcasm, to which Alexander responded coldly, “Well, I don’t see how it has anything to do with you.” However, Peter seemed to be oblivious of the anger on Alexander’s face and continued to pull Alexander’s leg. “That’s not what I meant. Clearly, your choice in women has nothing to do with me. However, aren’t you embarrassed to be seen with an ugly lady like her?” At that moment, Elise silently clenched her hands into fists as she felt a sense of humiliation. Never did she expect that her appearance would bring Alexander such disgrace.

“You…” Right when she was about to fight back, he interrupted her with a soft smile and poured her a glass of water before he consoled, “Just Ignore him. He’s merely a crazy dog barking at us.” Upon hearing Alexander’s insult, Peter was instantly pissed off. “Who are you to call me a dog?! How dare you! I’m still your ex-classmate after all! I can still recall those days when you were head over heels for the most beautiful girl in our school, but now you’re treating this ugly monster as if she is your treasure!” Alexander gave Peter a cold look. “Peter Simms, right?

It seems like your parents did not raise you well. If that’s the case, I guess I should help them out by teaching you a lesson today.” Immediately, he stood up and walked toward Peter. Peter started to retreat backward as he was terrified by Alexander’s imposing manner. “W-What are you trying to do?” When Alexander saw how frightened Peter was, he didn’t feel like punching Peter at all. However, the fact that the man messed up his date with Elise was undeniable.

At that moment, he coldly ordered, “I want you to remove everything except for your boxers and leave. Otherwise, I will make sure that each and every property owned by your company will be gone by tomorrow morning.” A stupefied Peter’s legs caved in, which caused him to slump onto the ground. While staring at the man from above, Alexander stated coldly, “I’m sure you know that this isn’t just a threat and you are more than welcome to fight back if you want to test my limits. I’ll give you a minute to think about it.” Then, he turned to return to his table.

As he watched Alexander’s retreating figure, Peter trembled inexplicably. Although he never doubted the power of Alexander’s words, it was exceptionally embarrassing for a grown man like him to run around naked. However, Alexander threatened that whatever Peter had built in the company would be gone by tomorrow morning. After contemplating for a moment, Peter decided to protect his company’s interests and forwent his own dignity as he started to remove his clothes. Even though the restaurant was bustling with customers, everyone couldn’t help but stop to stare at him. He had never felt so humiliated before, but it was all caused by his own wrongdoings.

With a dark expression, he removed the last piece of his clothes and got up from the floor before running out of the restaurant… Elise was unable to resist laughing at what happened before she turned to Alexander and asked, “What did you say to make him strip obediently?” He answered nonchalantly, “A man like him will do anything for the sake of his own benefits. It’s only at times like this when he’ll learn to watch his words.” Although she was slightly affected by Peter’s nasty comments about her, when she saw how Alexander spoke up for her made her believe that she had made the right choice by entrusting her life to him.

“Do you really not care about what he said?” After all, Elise knew that she wasn’t drop dead gorgeous. Just like what Peter had said, she was merely an embarrassment and any other men would’ve been affected by her looks. Still, Alexander shot a glance at her before he merely replied, “His words mean nothing to me since you are all I care about.”

A gush of warmth filled her heart. “Actually, I—” She was about to say something when her phone rang. “Hold on, let me answer this call.” When Elise glanced at the unknown caller ID on her phone, she frowned and answered, “Hello, may I know who this is?” “I have Jamie Keller with me right now.

Prepare three million and drop it off at Westhill Garden an hour later. Do not bring anyone along, or this guy won’t survive to see the next sunrise.” She responded while clenching her fists, “Why should I trust you?” Suddenly, Jamie’s voice was heard from the other end of the call, “Don’t fall into his trap, Boss! Do not come over—”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 199

The victim’s voice was interrupted before the words could even be fully expressed. “I’ll give you an hour,” the caller added. “If you’re not here by then, this kid won’t live to see another sunrise.” When the call abruptly ended, Elise’s face darkened. Then, she turned around to look at Alexander, who could sense her mood change. “Did anything happen?” As she tried her best to remain calm, Elise nonchalantly answered, “It’s nothing big. I just can’t go to the movies with you later as I have an emergency to settle.” Although he was curious, he refrained from prying and instead replied, “I’ll send you there.”

Despite that, she rejected him. “It’s fine. I’m sorry, but please wait for me to come back because I have something important to tell you as well.” Alexander grunted in acknowledgement and watched as she left. It was after Elise left the restaurant that her expression darkened almost immediately before she quickly hailed a cab and entered the vehicle. She never expected someone to learn about her and even kidnap Jamie.

Elise had figured that she managed to keep herself well under the radar throughout these years and never thought that someone would discover her identity. Looks like tonight will be a hard battle to fight. “I’ll give you half an hour to prepare 3 million for me,” she said after calling an unknown number. At the same time, the person on the other end of the call was obviously delighted upon hearing Elise’s voice. “Elise, is that you?” “Yes. Be quick, though. I’m coming over shortly to get the money. Also, I need you to prepare a car with excellent performance and a weapon.” “Understood.”

After ending the call, Elise’s gaze darkened before she urged the cab driver to increase his speed. On the other hand, Alexander felt a hint of disappointment as he stared at the empty seat in front of him after she left. Right when he was about to leave, he received a call from Cameron. “Boss, I’ve heard rumors that something huge is going to happen tonight. Someone has kidnapped one of Dragonweiss’ core members. It seems like they are trying to bait the leader of Dragonweiss to reveal themselves.” The corner of Alexander’s lips curled upward at that moment.

“Someone actually have the guts to try and offend their leader?” “I can’t get any information about them at this point, but I heard that it’s a huge commotion. Our men are afraid to investigate deeper without further commands, so they’re asking for your opinion.” Dragonweiss was an underground organization that was formed three years ago and they had already managed to widen their influence at the speed of light. In the span of around two to three years, they had already managed to take over more than half of the entire underground scene.

Nevertheless, none of the core members of Dragonweiss had ever revealed themselves to the public. As for their leader, there were many rumors about the person. Most of the tittle-tattle described the person as having a legendary identity, so almost everyone in the underground scene wanted to know who the leader of Dragonweiss was. This included Alexander as well. “Don’t interfere with their issue first. Get hold of their exact coordinates and send it to me.” “Yes, Young Master Alex.” After hanging up the call, Alexander stared at the empty seat in front of him and looked as if he was deep in thought.

It was a known fact that Athesea was being dominated by two large underground organizations—the recently established Dragonweiss and Midnight Reign, which had been in existence for ages. However, no one knew that the boundless heir of the Griffith Group, Alexander, was actually masquerading as the leader of Midnight Resign and held the ultimate say everywhere. Right then, he thought, Would Elise still choose to be with me when she discovers my identity? On the other hand, Elise had already arrived at the mutually agreed meeting point and all the things that she requested in advance were all prepared for her.

“These are all the things that you requested for,” the man mentioned to her. “Is that enough?” She glanced at the items. “It’s enough. Bring me my mask.” “Alright.” The man immediately headed off to grab a fox mask for Elise to wear. “Do you need us to come with you?” “You can arrange for some of our men to keep an eye around that place and to listen to guns being fired as a signal. If I don’t come out after half an hour, you guys can make a move.”

“Understood.” Then, Elise asked her men to move the suitcase bearing the money to the car before she entered the driver’s seat. She started the engines after stabbing the keys in the ignition and sped off. Since she was speeding, she had only spent 15 minutes when it would originally take 30 minutes to arrive in Westhill Garden. Upon reaching the place, she noticed that it was so quiet that chills went down her spine. Elise noted that she still had 20 minutes left before their deal when she looked at her wristwatch. So, she calmly sat in the car while observing her surroundings before her phone rang less than two minutes later.

“As expected from you to actually have the courage to come alone. I really admire your guts.” She replied coldly, “Stop wasting my time. I’ve already brought over all the requested items, so where is he?” “Don’t be agitated. Since it’s a deal, I’ll obviously return the kid once I have the money. Get out of the car now and come in without any weapons.” Her hand reached out for the hidden weapon at the bottom of her pants as her gaze darkened. “I can come in alone, but I need to see the person whom I want to see. If I can’t leave with him in one piece today, I’ll make sure that all of you pay for it.”

“Haha!” An obnoxious laugh rang out from the other end of the call. “We shall see if you can actually do that. Now, get out of the car and come on in.” Elise then pushed the door open and stared at the garden in front of her before making her way toward it without any hesitation. Upon her arrival at the entrance, all the lights in the garden were switched on. “Take 100 steps forward and turn right thereafter.

Then, I want you to take another 30 steps forward before making a left turn. You’ll see rocks in front of you; once you walk past them, enter the cave and we’ll be waiting for you inside.” While she proceeded with his instructions, she asked, “Since I’ve already arrived, aren’t you going to let me talk to him?” “What? Are you afraid that we would go against our deal?” Elise chuckled coldly. “You should at least let me know that he’s safe and sound, shouldn’t you?” “Don’t worry! He’s obviously safe.” Then, the man passed the phone to Jamie and ordered, “Speak!”

However, Jamie bit her lips and refused to talk, which annoyed the kidnapper so much that he kicked Jamie in the stomach. Jamie retorted, “You little a*shole! I’ll be sure to get my revenge for this!” However, the man ignored Jamie and spoke to the phone instead, “Did you hear that? He’s obviously alive and kicking!” Upon hearing Jamie’s voice, Elise felt relieved. “According to the deal, I’ll give you the money once you hand him over.”

“Great! We love dealing with people like you.” Elise started to head into the cave a moment after she hung up. The place was dim since it wasn’t as bright as the sun. It took her some time to get accustomed to the dark environment in the cave before she began to observe her surroundings. Her surroundings suddenly brightened up after she walked for about ten meters. “Haha! How’s this? What do you think about our little game?”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 200

Elise looked up, only to see that there was a buff man with a scar on the left side of his face. “I’m already here, so it’s time for you to fulfill your part of the deal, isn’t it?” The scar-faced man walked toward her. “I used to be curious about the leader of Dragonweiss since the organization is able to expand their territory within the underground scene in just three years. Still, I have to say that I’m surprised to know that the leader is actually a girl. I wonder what kind of pretty face is hidden underneath the mask.” Her gaze immediately darkened because it looked like the matter wasn’t just about money.

Still, she didn’t dare to do anything rash as she still hadn’t seen Jamie. “Don’t you know how important reputation is for folks like us? If you guys don’t keep to your promises today, aren’t you afraid of my men destroying this place?” Elise coldly threatened as she gave off a domineering aura. The man immediately couldn’t help but shiver. It was his first time being intimidated by a woman and he could sense that she wasn’t an ordinary person. “Don’t worry, I’ll surely release him.”

Then, he looked at his man before the latter immediately brought Jamie over. The moment Jamie saw Elise, his face filled with apology. “Boss!” Upon noticing that he was in one piece, she was relieved. “It’s alright as long as you’re fine.” After that, she addressed the scar-faced man, “I’ve already brought the money and it’s in the car. Since I’ve already seen him, I’m bringing him with me now.” He started laughing all of a sudden. “This is as expected from the leader of Dragonweiss. It’s alright if you want to leave, but only one of you can make it out alive today.”

“A*shole,” Jamie cursed under his breath. “Boss, do not believe him and instead request for backup to destroy this place. Nevertheless, she gave the scar-faced man a serious stare instead of replying before she finally arrived at a decision. “Jamie, leave this place,” she instructed. However, Jamie refused. “I’m not leaving, Boss. I want to stay. You should be the one leaving.” Elise then shot him a cold look. “I’m asking you to leave right now.” Although he was insistent on going against her instructions, he couldn’t say anything when he met her gaze and could only grit his teeth as he did as told.

“Fine. I’ll leave!” The moment Jamie said that, he left the place without any obstruction. It was moments after he departed that the scar-faced man started to regard Elise. “How courageous of you. You’re indeed a charismatic woman.” However, she couldn’t afford to muck around any longer and instead asked, “Who are you guys? Who gave you guys the courage to try to cross us?” Instead of answering her question, he gazed at her with a dark look before slowly saying, “It’s not important for you to know who we are. What’s important is that I’m going to kill you today.”

Then, he took a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Elise’s temple. “Say your last words and I’ll help you to inform your men.” Despite her predicament, Elise stared at the gun pointed at her without any hint of fear. After experiencing many life and death situations with her men from Dragonweiss, she was no longer afraid of anything. There was no way that she’d be frightened at this point in time. “There are many who want my life, but none of them have succeeded. I won’t let you be the exception today.” Upon hearing that, the man laughed maniacally before he responded in a crazed manner, “I’ll see you in hell, nevertheless.”

Then, he pulled the trigger before the loud shot of gunfire rang out seconds later. Elise concurrently yanked her pistol out and aimed it at the scar-faced man to fire two shots in quick succession, which stopped the bullet that was coming for her and injured the man on his right hand. His gun immediately fell to the ground before blood started to spill. He stared at her in disbelief. “H-How did you pull that off? How is this even possible?” Firing two shots in succession almost at the same time and accurately stopping my bullet as well as injuring me?!

“Didn’t I already mention that there are many that want my life, but none of them have succeeded and I won’t let you be the exception today?” The scar-faced man held his wounded subordinate, knowing that he had failed miserably this time. It was just that he never expected this woman to be so skillful. That was still alright because he was merely testing her out, but the scar-faced man refused to believe that she would be lucky each time. “Not bad indeed. Well, although I couldn’t kill you today, I’ll make sure that you’ll die in my hands in the future.”

However, right after the man finished talking, Elise raised her gun again and slowly informed, “There’s something else that you should know about me. I’ll never leave any opportunities for trouble to catch up with me in the future.” Then, she fired three shots toward the scar-faced man’s chest in rapid succession, causing his eyes to widen as he stared at her before he collapsed onto the ground. After witnessing the scene unfold before their eyes, all of his subordinates aimed their weapons at Elise. She was still unafraid as she slowly reloaded her gun.

“You guys can try to see whether you’re faster or I am quicker. Just don’t forget that you only have one choice and one time to live.” Right after that, the men stared at each other before lowering their guns and raised their hands as a sign of surrender. The sounds of footsteps were heard outside a while later before a group of men barged in with Jamie at the lead. Then, he asked, “Boss, are you alright?” Elise shrugged. “Do I look like I’m not?” Upon hearing that, he finally noticed that the scar-faced man was already lifeless on the ground before breaking into a sigh.

Then, he tried to explain, “Boss, it’s my fault for underestimating them. I didn’t expect myself to be lured here.” “Their target isn’t you; it’s me! It’s obvious that they came prepared and were hostile, so it’s better for us to stay cautious from today onward.” “Okay, Boss. However, we’ve already lost the money in the car and couldn’t catch up to them as they were exceptionally swift for us.” When she heard that the money was gone, she was immediately enraged as that amount of three million was enough to cover Dragonweiss’ expenditure for at least three months.

She couldn’t reconcile to the fact that the money was gone just like that either. “Start investigating. All of the money has serial numbers, so I want you guys to locate the money.” “Yes, Boss. I’ll attend to it now.” Just as they were about to leave, the scar-faced man, who was on the floor, started to slowly move his arm before he reached for the pistol and aimed it at Elise. “Be careful, Boss!” Although Jamie had pushed her aside in time, the bullet still managed to lodged itself in her arm. When he saw that she was injured, he was so agitated that he took his own pistol out and fired ten continuous shots at the man.

He only stopped when he saw the scar-faced man releasing his last breath before dropping onto the ground. Then, Jamie turned to Elise and asked anxiously, “How are you, Boss?” While holding onto her injured arm, she answered, “I’m alright. Let’s leave this place first.” “This is terrible. We’ve been surrounded outside and I’m not sure whether these are our folks, but it seems like everything has been planned up to this point.” “Sh*t!” he cursed under his breath. “Boss, you should leave first while I’ll stay behind to keep these nobodies in check.” Elise’s gaze darkened. If she wasn’t injured, she would’ve been able to leave the place unscathed, but things were harder now that her arm had been shot.

“Jamie, let’s split up. Take the main entrance and I’ll leave from the backdoor. Find a way to separate them without engaging in a fight.” “Will do, Boss,” Jamie said after he grunted. “You should take more men with you since you’re injured.” “I know what to do. Let’s go then.” Upon leaving from the backdoor, she was immediately surrounded although she had left with a few men. Nevertheless, it seemed like the opponent wasn’t after her life and that of her men, judging from the way the opponent had ensured not to injure their vitals during the fight.

Still, she wasn’t in a mood to play around with them and used her left hand to directly aim her pistol at the opponent’s core vitals before she started firing. It was obvious that they had underestimated Elise as they never expected her to be so ruthless. As she broke out from the encirclement, she started to jog forward while the men that she led ran behind her.

After running for a distance, she suddenly heard a motorbike speeding past before it finally stopped in front of her. “Get on!” Elise was taken aback as she stared at the driver because it was a familiar face. W-W-Why is he here?
