Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 201

Elise looked at Alexander standing in front of her; she found that he was someone familiar yet a stranger. Fortunately, she had worn her mask, so he wasn’t able to identify her. “What are you waiting for? Get on!” Alexander repeated. Meanwhile, Elise hesitated for a moment before getting on the motorbike. Then, he accelerated, and the bike roared off into the distance. They sped off in the darkness as she tried her best to support her injured arm.

She clenched her teeth hard to stop herself from losing consciousness. He finally stopped the bike when they arrived at a safe location. “We’re safe. You can go now.” She lowered her eyes and extricated herself from him. “I appreciate this. Thanks for your help. If you need a helping hand in the future, you can find me at Dragonweiss anytime.” Meanwhile, Alexander carefully scrutinized Elise. He had mainly intended to pop over and enjoy the show, but unexpectedly saw the mighty and valiant boss of Dragonweiss with his own eyes. Truthfully speaking, he was in awe of her courage when she fired the shot earlier.

This woman here disguised in a fox mask isn’t one to mess with. “I’m quite honored to have seen the appearance of the boss of Dragonweiss. That’s worth my trip. As for the rest of it, I’m not one to ask for much.” Alexander glanced at her arm as soon as he finished his sentence. “You’re hurt! You should return home to have that wound attended to as soon as possible. I hope that we’ll be able to be friends with each other the next time we meet.” With that, he pressed the throttle and roared off without a backward glance.

As she tried to comprehend the meaning behind his words, Elise frowned slightly. In the end, the pain shooting from her arm shook her to the present and she didn’t bother to spare another thought to what he said. At that moment itself, she scanned her surroundings and flagged a cab to head to Dragonweiss’ private hospital. As it was a wound sustained from a gunshot, she didn’t dare to alert anyone else. After experiencing the procedure of having the embedded bullet removed at the said private hospital, she ended up collapsing from the pain.

By the time she had regained consciousness, it was already the morning of the following day. Elise gradually got up from the bed and noticed that her arm had already been dressed and bandaged up. As she rummaged around and found her phone, it was only at that moment when she noticed there were in fact more than ten missed calls. At this moment, she came to her senses and immediately returned Alexander’s call. “Where are you?”

Alexander asked. Meanwhile, Elise glanced at her surroundings and ignored his question as she probed, “Do you need me for anything? Why are you bombarding me with phone calls so early in the morning?” He had intended to ask her why she had stayed out the whole night last night, but he suddenly pondered, Am I being too controlling? She might feel oppressed by this. He quickly changed his tune and replied, “No, it’s nothing much. I noticed that you weren’t home and was worried about your safety. I can tell now that you’re safe and sound, so it’s all good.

I won’t be sending you to school today then.” She affirmed, “That’s fine with me. I can head to school by myself.” After Elise hung up the phone, she sighed deeply. In fact, she intensely disliked the feeling of telling a fib, but how on earth was she supposed to reveal her identity to Alexander, though? Furthermore, how am I supposed to explain the gunshot wound on my arm? She felt that it was one of the toughest questions of this century to resolve. I guess I’ll just take it one step at a time. The moment she left the hospital, she hailed a cab to school.

Meanwhile, Alexander’s car was parked in front of the school entrance and as soon as he saw her arriving safely, he was finally at ease. Soon after that, he started his car ignition and slowly drove off. Jacinda had noticed Alexander and she was just about to head over to greet him, but he didn’t even bother to look at her and immediately drove off. She was slightly annoyed by his action and followed his gaze to the direction that he had been looking at. Coincidentally, Elise appeared in front of her. How can such an ugly person be able to attract someone like Alexander?!

What sort of witchery does she possess?! Looks like Ashlyn’s right; that girl’s a vixen! “Gosh! Some people can be so full of themselves despite being quite ugly.” As soon as Jacinda entered the classroom, she rudely spoke in front of Elise. “Jacinda, who are you talking about? Who has offended you this time?” Some of her classmates walked up to her in curiosity and asked with concern. Jacinda tossed her head haughtily without giving out any names, but she spoke obscurely, “Who else could it be? Who’s the ugliest person with a nasty personality in our class?

She’s skillful in seducing guys, so isn’t it quite obvious to everyone?” Meanwhile, everyone exchanged looks with each other, but no one had any idea who Jacinda was talking about. Nonetheless, their eyes inadvertently turned to Elise. After all, if everyone was to be rated based on their looks, she would be the one ranked last in their class. At that point, she frowned as she sensed the looks of judgment from the crowd. However, as Jacinda didn’t spill any names, Elise couldn’t quite stand up for herself out of nowhere and ignored Jacinda while she continued to complete her worksheet.

One of their classmates suggested in a soft voice, “Jacinda, don’t tell me you’re talking about Erudite Elise?!” In response, Jacinda merely revealed a smile. “That was just a random thing that I said. As for the person whom I was talking about, I’m sure she’s well aware of it.” “That’s enough, Jacinda. There’s no need to overthink the situation. Let’s focus on our final exam.” “Yeah, that’s right. I still have a worksheet from yesterday to complete. I’m returning to my seat to do that.” Shortly after that, two of their classmates who came forward eventually returned to their respective seats.

Jacinda scanned her surroundings and discovered that the entire class now resembled a studious environment. Being a slacker, she seemed to be at odds with the rest of them. After an agonizingly long day, it was finally the last class for the morning period. At that point, Elise could distinctly feel the pain radiating from her arm and there was a wet, sticky sensation too. It seemed that her wound was once again oozing blood. She immediately stood up and went off to the medical center. There, she bought some clean gauze and swiftly made her way to the bathroom.

Elise locked herself in a cubicle and unraveled her dressing, which exposed her gaping and bloody wound to the air. As a result, she gritted her teeth to stifle the pain. Then, she quickly applied some medication on the wound before bandaging it once again. She found that it was rather inconvenient to do it with one hand, so she was quite sloppy with the application. However, she wasn’t too concerned and walked out of the cubicle to return to the classroom. Unbeknownst to Elise, as soon as she emerged from the cubicle, the door next to hers also opened to reveal Jacinda walked out with an intense look.

Jacinda glanced at the bloody gauze in the bin and became lost in her thoughts. “Our next class is P.E. I heard that this is the final one for this semester. Soon, all of our P.E. periods will be substituted with Mathematics.” “What?! That can’t be true! Ugh, what a buzzkill!” “Sigh! Let’s persevere and withstand this! We only have three more months to push ourselves! We can do this!” In saying that, most of the students grouped together and rose up to leave and change into appropriate attires at the changing rooms. “Boss, stop working on your worksheet. It’s our final P.E. class for this semester.

Let’s go and enjoy this precious moment that we have left.” Danny walked over and spoke up. Meanwhile, Elise was so concerned about her wound that she replied, “I want to continue doing some worksheets in the classroom. Could you help me to get some time off from our teacher?” He was about to agree to her request when someone reminded from behind, “In our last session, our teacher has mentioned that there will be a physical fitness test. The result of this test will be included in our overall P.E. result for this semester, which is why everyone has to turn up.

We’re not allowed any time off.” As soon as Danny heard that, he instantly reacted, “Boss, I guess you better come with us then. You can work on this worksheet later during the revision period.” In response, Elise pursed her lips as her thoughts went to the physical fitness test. It should be some simple jogging that we need to do. As long as I don’t touch the wound, it should hopefully be fine. “Alright, I’ll change my clothes then.”

She went into the changing room and opened her locker to retrieve her gym attire. Fortunately for her, it was the spring season whereby everyone still wore shirts with long sleeves, so she managed to cover her wound. As soon as the P.E. class started, all the students were asked to run three laps. It was arduous for Elise, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. However, right after she had finished warming up, she suddenly felt dizzy and as if she was about to collapse.

Shortly after that, she fainted and fell. “Boss!” Danny was the first person to reach her side. As soon as he saw her unconscious on the ground, he immediately carried her into his arms and sent her to the medical center. Elise wasn’t aware of how long she had been unconscious for, but she eventually woke up to find that it was dusk outside.

She tried to move her arm, but she instead gasped in pain. “Stop moving around!” A familiar voice rang out in her ears. A stunned Elise lifted her head to meet Alexander’s eyes. “What are you doing here?”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 202

Alexander’s expression darkened as he replied, “Danny called to inform me that you had fainted, so I immediately came over.” Elise rubbed her temples and she recalled the situation that led up to her losing consciousness. Shortly after that, she explained, “My blood sugar must have dipped, so that’s why I fainted.” It was the same diagnosis that the doctor gave, but he noticed that she was clearly paler than usual. “You should take a good rest if you’re not feeling well. I’ll help to obtain a medical certificate for you so that you don’t have to attend school tomorrow.”

“That’s not necessary.” Elise instantly rejected Alexander’s offer. “It’s close to our final exam. I don’t want to disrupt my studies.” She had provided an extremely logical explanation, but he refused to accept her objections. “Your final exam is not as important as your health! Besides, it’s just for one day. If you have any trouble with your schoolwork, I’ll get Danny to tutor you once he’s back. I’ll get him to bring your homework back too.” “But—” “There are no buts about it. I’ve instructed Mrs. Lester to prepare some chicken soup for you. Let’s head home now.”

From his words, Elise suddenly realized that they were still in the school’s medical center, so she hastily rose from the bed. However, she had accidentally strained her wounded arm and instantly furrowed her brows as she instinctively reached out to place a hand over her arm. “What’s wrong? Did you hurt your arm?” Alexander asked as he made a move to check on her condition. She hurriedly stopped him in response. “N-Nothing’s wrong. My arm just feels stiff after such a long nap.” Meanwhile, he didn’t suspect that there was something amiss and mentioned, “I’ll help you to get out of bed.”

Elise held him for support as she got out of bed. It was only then when she felt the pain had significantly subsided. “I’m fine. Let’s go home.” Alexander grunted in affirmation and immediately led her out of the medical center. However, he suddenly reached into his pocket and turned to her. “I left my keys inside the room. I’ll head back to grab it. Why don’t you wait for me here?” Elise agreed and he subsequently detoured to get his keys. He returned to the room and found his keys by the bedside table. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly noticed something while his gaze lingered.

There was a prominent bloodstain on the originally white bedsheet, which caused his expression to instantly darken. He didn’t make his way out to join Elise, but stopped to have a word with the doctor. “Doctor, was my fiancée injured?” The doctor had discovered a wound on Elise’s arm when he conducted his medical examination. Despite that, he noticed that she had already attended to the wound, so he wasn’t extremely fussed about it and merely assumed that it was an ordinary injury. As such, he replied frankly, “Her arm was injured, but the wound had already been dressed. Being her fiance, weren’t you aware of it?”

At that point, Alexander’s expression was thunderous. She didn’t tell me that she was injured! I don’t even know when she sustained that injury! He suddenly realized that he wasn’t exactly the greatest fiancé. “Thanks, doctor.” As he said that, he reached for his wallet, took out a stack of notes, and handed it to the doctor. “You’ve done a great job.” With that, Alexander walked out of the room. As soon as Elise noticed him walking toward her, she recollected herself and feigned that everyone was alright despite the intense pain that she felt on her arm.

In addition to that, she went forward to ask him, “Have you found the keys?” Alexander nodded. “Let’s go home.” Subsequently, the two of them entered the car whereby both of them were lost in their own thoughts and didn’t speak a word to each other throughout the entire journey to the Griffith Residence. Upon their arrival, Elise immediately opened the door and alighted from the car to enter the house whereas Alexander remained seated in the car. He trained his eyes on her back as she walked inside. Then, he heaved a deep sigh and dialed Cameron’s number. “Get me some medication for wounds. Get more of it and send it to my house.” Cameron thought that Alexander had hurt himself and instantly probed with concern, “What’s going on, Mr. Duncan?

Which part of your body did you injure? Is it bad? I’ll be there right away!” This was the first time ever that Alexander found Cameron being loquacious, but he answered Cameron’s questions nonetheless, “I’m fine. Just get everything ready and send it to me as soon as possible.” After hanging up the phone, Alexander then left the car. Elise went into her room and she immediately locked the door after that.

Then, she located the first aid kit in her room and took out some pain relief medications. Without any hesitation, she immediately swallowed them; it was as if by her doing so, the pain could somehow slightly subside. She wasn’t exactly sure of the reason, but the gunshot wound that she had sustained this time felt much more intense than before to the point where she was close to breaking down. It wasn’t until there was a knock at the door when she realized how long she had been in the room. She reflexively opened her eyes and asked, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me!” The two simple words were paired in a familiar voice. Instantly, Elise rose to her feet and saw her reflection in the mirror. After making sure that she looked perfectly alright, she proceeded to unlock the door. “Do you need anything?” She asked Alexander who stood by the door. At that moment, he was carrying a big hand in his hands and walked right into the room without uttering a single word.

His sudden action was enough to cause Elise to feel anxious, but shortly after that, he abruptly asked, “Did you injure your arm?” At this moment, Elise was stunned by his question. How did he know?! However, Alexander didn’t wait for her response and continued with his words, “Here are some medications to apply on your wound. There are two boxes of pain relief inside as well. They’re quite effective.” “H-How did you know about it?” He honestly replied, “I saw the bloodstains on the bed sheet. You must have been quite badly injured. So, let me help you to dress the wound.”

“No, thanks. I’m alright.” Elise subconsciously blurted out those words in that moment without even realizing it. Then, she realized it moments after that and felt that her reaction was uncalled for. Then, she tried to explain, “No, that’s fine since it’s just a minor wound. I’ve dressed it myself, so it’s not a big deal.” At that moment, Alexander clearly sensed her abnormality and she seemed to be avoiding something.

“Give me your hand and let me take a look at it.” Although Alexander had a no-nonsense attitude, Elise was well aware that he would be able to recognize her wound as one sustained from a gunshot as soon as he saw it. That would render all of her previous efforts futile. “I-I… There’s no need for that. Look, I’ve properly dressed the wound and it’s fine.” She made a gesture and rolled up her sleeves to show him the bandage that she had put on. The wound was nicely bandaged and it looked alright. Meanwhile, Alexander intently scrutinized her arm with a frown.

“When did you injure yourself? Why didn’t you tell me?” Elise had no choice but to respond, “It’s just a minor wound, so it’s not a big deal at all. I’ll be fine in a couple of days’ time.” As soon as she had finished her words, Alexander reached out and took her into his arms. Their bodies were intertwined with each other and she could even hear his heartbeat by the side of her ears. “Is it because you don’t trust me?” Alexander’s voice gradually rang out. “As your fiancé, I was the last person to learn about your injury. Do you know how terrible I felt?” At that moment, Elise bit on her lower lip.

“I’m sorry—” She had just started to say something when he interjected, “There’s no need to apologize. I’m the one who failed. I haven’t done enough to give you the confidence to have the utmost trust in me. Can you promise me that from now on, you won’t keep anything from me?” She lifted her eyes to meet his intense gaze. At that moment, he sounded extremely sincere, which had left her at a loss on what to do next.

She was hiding a secret from him and it was one that she couldn’t bring herself to mention. “Alexander, I—” Before she could finish her sentence, his warm lips swooped in and stopped her from saying anything else with a single action. He slowly explored as he deepened the kids by taking in her wondrous lips. It was as if he was about to mold her into himself. It rendered her mind completely blank, but she instinctively responded by returning the kiss.

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 203

When it felt like she was responding to his kisses, it caused happiness to bloom in his heart. All he wanted at that moment was to hug her, kiss her and never let her go. After what felt like an eternity whereby Elise felt that she had almost suffocated, Alexander finally released her from his embrace.

Both of them were out of breath as they stared deep into each other’s eyes and saw their own reflections. “You—” “You—” They had said both words in unison before looking at each other with a smile. Alexander then reached out to caress her head and added, “Take good care of your injury.

Let me know if you need anything. Please remember that you are mine forever. Since we have chosen each other and are now engaged, I hope that we can share both the good and bad times together as well as becoming each other’s most trusted person.” Elise peered into his eyes before the lines between her brows slowly eased. Then, she firmly nodded. “You should rest early then. I shall make my move.” Then, he released her from his embrace and exited the room. After Alexander left, Elise subconsciously pinched herself. It hurt, which meant that everything that had happened earlier was genuine.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror again and found that she was blushing; it was a reaction whenever a girl was in love. Deep down in her heart, she knew that she had fallen for him. She had fallen head over heels in love with the man. The next day, Elise glanced at the rising sun outside the window and her mood was much better today. However, when she arrived at school, she noticed that there was a few hostile gazes from her peers. Feeling puzzled, she looked at herself and found that there was nothing unusual.

She initially thought that she was being overly sensitive, but unexpectedly, as she continued to head toward her classroom, she noticed that the gazes became more intense. There were even some people who whispered among themselves while they looked at her. “Danny, do you know what they are talking about?” Elise couldn’t help but ask as soon as she stepped into the classroom. Nevertheless, Danny, who had been engrossed in his studies nowadays, had no idea what the other students were discussing about. Hence, he answered, “I don’t know.

Wait a minute; Boss, didn’t Alexander request for a leave of absence on your behalf today? Why are you here at school?” She casually replied, “I’m actually alright. Rather than staying at home and doing nothing, I would rather come to school and learn something, so at least I won’t waste my time.” “Boss, you are such a sensible person. I have to learn from you.” “Have you heard about it? Elise is pregnant!” “Oh, God! Are you serious? Whose child is it?” “Haven’t you seen the diamond ring on her hand? I reckon that she’s being kept by someone!”

“She is so young, yet she has done something like that? She is not even 18, right? How could she have done such a thing? As far as I can remember, according to the school rules, a student like this will be expelled.” The few girls continued to gossip softly among themselves, but a second later, a loud thud rang in the air. It was Danny who suddenly kicked the door open. “What nonsense are you guys saying?” The crowd dispersed the moment they saw Danny, but he was already pissed off and attempted to chase after them. “Hey, explain yourselves!

Don’t you have anything else better to do other than spreading unproven rumors?” he shouted. Then, he suddenly noticed that Elise was standing behind him. It was only at that moment when he returned to his senses and advised, “Boss, don’t listen to their nonsense. They are saying all this because they are jealous.” Elise found it ridiculous as well. She had merely passed out, but people had spread rumors of her pregnancy. This is bizarre. However, her concern was not on the incident itself, but rather to look through the superficial aspects and focus on the reasoning.

This incident isn’t as simple as it seems, so I’m actually curious to know who the culprit behind this is. “I’m fine.” These two simple words didn’t reveal her true emotions. Yet, Danny was worried. “Boss, I’ll warn them not to spread nonsense. Rest assured, I won’t allow the rumors to continue spreading.” However, she interrupted, “There’s no need to do so. The truth will speak for itself and time will prove everything.” With that, Elise turned on her heels to enter the classroom. She surveyed everyone and in response, they quietly withdrew their gazes.

Then, she took a deep breath to calm herself before she returned to her seat. Since Elise was under the weather after the first period, she retched for a moment at one side, but it was enough to cause an uproar in the class. “Didn’t I tell you that she must be pregnant? Didn’t you see how she retched earlier? It’s said that a woman will suffer morning sickness during the early stages of her pregnancy.” “Tsk tsk, I’ve been deceived by her looks.

I used to think that she’s quite a lovely person, but it turns out that I was blind.” Jacinda pompously raised her chin to cryptically suggest, “There’s always people who pretend to be nice, but they are in fact rotten to their bones. Elise is not even 18, right? Now that she has done something like this, I reckon the school won’t continue to retain her.” “I don’t think that will be the case. Her results are excellent and all the subject teachers treasure her. Rather, I think she won’t be expelled even after she has done something like this since there’s a high chance for her to enroll in a top university.”

Upon hearing this, Jacinda became restless. Ashlyn said that the only reason for me being here is to destroy Elise’s life. If Elise is really pregnant, according to the school rules, she certainly will be expelled. Her gaze darkened as she arrived at a decision. Elise had no idea what the students had in mind. However, she had been retching for a few consecutive days. Her behavior was rather obvious and almost everyone in her class saw what she did, which resulted in everyone believing that she was really pregnant. Initially, Jacinda made a wild guess, but Elise’s reaction was enough to prove her speculation.

When she noticed that the right timing had arrived, she took the initiative to run to the homeroom teacher to report that Elise was pregnant. As a matter of fact, the homeroom teacher had already heard about the rumors circulating in school, but he chose to believe Elise and ignored the rumors. However, when one of the students personally came to him to report the incident, he couldn’t continue to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Elise was called to the office, where Jacinda was at the same time. Upon seeing Jacinda, it dawned on Elise who the culprit behind the rumors was. Then, Elise cast a deep gaze at Jacinda and uttered, “So, it’s you!” Although Jacinda was baffled by what Elise said, she showed no signs of backing down as she believed that Elise would be doomed this time. “I don’t understand what you are saying, but I’m aware that you are pregnant. You should be expelled in compliance with the school rules.”

Elise gave such a slight smile that it didn’t reach her eyes before she retorted, “Are you sure about that?” Jacinda coldly snorted and remained silent, but the homeroom teacher beside them was in a dilemma. Firstly, Elise was the student with the highest chance in their school to enter a top university. Secondly, she also had a tricky background because the Griffith Family had enrolled her in this school. Given these two points, he was reluctant to get to the bottom of this incident.

However, as the homeroom teacher, he couldn’t just ignore the problem now that a student had reported the incident to him. “Miss Sinclair, the reason why I called you over today is that I have something I wish to ask. All you have to do is to honestly answer me.” A meek Elise approached him.

“Mr. Harris, what’s the matter?” The homeroom teacher cleared his throat. He had already heard about the rumors, but since it involved a girl’s reputation and privacy, it was tough for him to broach the subject. “The thing is that a student told me that you are pregnant. Is this true?”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 204

Elise cast her gaze at Jacinda. “Was it you who told him?” Jacinda, however, showed no fear under Elise’s gaze. “Miss Sinclair, just admit to it already. We are classmates, so there’s no need for you to continue hiding it, no? This is not bad news, or perhaps it’s good news to you.” Upon hearing that, Elise sneered. “Are you slandering me?”

“What I said is the truth—you are indeed pregnant.” Jacinda believed that it was the truth and Elise was clearly lying. “Do you have any evidence?” Elise questioned. “If not, I could sue you for slandering.” At that, Jacinda pointed at Elise’s tummy and countered, “This is the evidence.

Mr. Harris, I think that everything will be clear as long as she goes to the hospital to perform an ultrasound. However, Miss Sinclair, are you willing to go?” “To be honest, I don’t really want to go, but it seems like you want me to, Miss Kate,” Elise murmured with a chuckle, to which Jacinda taunted, “Ha! I think that it is you who does not have the courage to go! If you are really pregnant, admit it now in front of the teacher so that we can settle this privately.

Everything can still be discussed. However, if you insist on your claim, nobody can tell what will happen once the matter escalates.” Elise looked straight at the homeroom teacher. “Mr. Harris, I think that this is a misunderstanding. I’m not pregnant, so there’s no need to do any checkup at the hospital.” Upon hearing that, Jacinda thought that Elise didn’t dare to go to the hospital. Since things had come to this point, she couldn’t care less and shouted, as if she was standing up for justice, “No, Mr. Harris! If she doesn’t go, we will be unable to give an explanation to the others.

How could you let her off the hook and allow her to ruin the school’s reputation just because of her outstanding results?” Mr. Harris pursed his lips, inwardly agreeing with Jacinda as he thought that she had a point. First of all, he had faith in Elise, but since the rumors had been spreading like wildfire in the school, allowing it to continue to spread not only would affect Elise but also the school’s reputation. Hence, in his opinion, revealing the truth to the public would be the only way to debunk the rumor.

“Miss Sinclair, I suggest that you come with me to the hospital. Since the truth will speak for itself, I think that there’s no harm in making this trip.” Elise gave it some thought and replied, “Mr. Harris, I’ve said that I’m not pregnant, but I don’t mind making this trip. However, if it’s proven that I’m indeed innocent, how will you deal with this student who maliciously slandered me and harmed my reputation?” Mr. Harris understood her underlying meaning.

As Elise was a student with a potential that he hadn’t encountered for years, he naturally sided with her, so he directly answered, “If it is proven that you are indeed innocent, which also proves that someone has made up the rumors and kicked up this fuss, I’ll make sure justice is upholded. Today, one of you two will have to be expelled from the school.” Jacinda was shocked by his declaration. In other words, there was no turning back after this. If she continued on with this accusation, she would be putting her own future at stake. Initially, she had a hard time using her connections to transfer into this school, so she definitely wouldn’t want to leave after attending for barely a few days.

She balled her fists, suddenly feeling that it wasn’t worthwhile risking her future because of this. “Mr. Harris, I think… maybe we should just… forget about it.” As soon as she said that, the door was suddenly opened and Alexander was seen elegantly marching into the office. The moment he stepped into the office, the atmosphere in the spacious office abruptly changed. All the teachers present knew who Alexander was and were aware about his identity—he was the most important person in Athesea, a man who nobody dared to offend. “Forget it?

Who gave you the power to say such shameless words?” Alexander spoke in a seemingly calm but cold voice, which instantly made Jacinda pale. “Y-Y-Young Master Alex, I-I-I—” she stuttered, not even able to say a complete sentence. Without sparing her a glance, Alexander walked up to Elise and put his arm around her shoulder, which made it rather obvious who he sided with. Even Mr. Harris couldn’t help but to wipe the sweat on his forehead. “Young Master Alex, what brings you here?” Alexander gently answered, “Someone is bullying my fiancée, so I came to stand up for her.”

His words instantly enlightened Mr. Harris. “Young Master Alex, you must have misunderstood. Our school promotes unity, so something like that can’t possibly happen,” he responded and he couldn’t be bothered by the sweat on his forehead anymore. Upon hearing that, Alexander darted a cold glare at Jacinda. “Are you the one who started the rumor?” His attention on her caused her to feel an invisible pressure building up, which actually deprived her the ability to breathe. “I-I-I—” To make matters worse, Mr. Harris directly chimed in, “Miss Kate here was the one who came to me to report that Miss Sinclair is pregnant.

Personally, I doubt that an excellent student like Elise would do such a thing, but I have the responsibility to stop the rumors from continuing circulating. Therefore, Young Master Alex, I feel that there’s a need for Miss Sinclair to cooperate with us in order for the truth to be revealed.” Alexander turned to Elise, who was in his arms, and gave her a comforting gaze. “What kind of evidence do you need? What she said is the truth.” Mr. Harris nodded repeatedly at that. “Yes, I agree with you, Young Master Alex. My consideration in this matter wasn’t comprehensive enough.

I’ll figure out a way to deal with the inconvenience that Miss Sinclair is facing because of this incident.” At that moment, Elise suddenly tugged at the corner of Alexander’s shirt and interrupted in a small voice, “I’ll deal with this situation myself.” “You want to deal with it yourself?” Alexander’s tone revealed his fondness toward her as the corner of his lips curved upward into a smile. Elise hummed in response. Thereafter, he whispered into her ear in a voice so low that only both of them could hear, “Don’t worry. I’m here to stand up for you.

You are free to do whatever you want and I’ll back you up no matter what happens.” Elise broke into a smile upon hearing that and her eyes shined as bright as stars as she looked at him. “Thank you.” After that, she turned to face Jacinda. In a split second, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by immense coldness. “You are the one who started the rumors, right?” Her words sent chills down Jacinda’s spine, but the latter steeled herself and didn’t say a word. “It doesn’t matter if you refuse to admit it,” Elise added. “I’m aware that that’s the truth, anyway.

You deliberately spread the rumor in the school and harmed my reputation. I don’t like to nitpick, but I live by the principle of ‘an eye for an eye’. Besides, I prefer that you understand how you will fall.” Jacinda staggered backward and nearly fell. Ashlyn’s words inadvertently started to echo in her ears—her cousin had warned her that Elise was not someone who was easy to deal with and she should never underestimate her. Nonetheless, there was no turning back for her at that moment. “W-What are you going to do?” Elise raised an eyebrow.

“Didn’t you spread a rumor that I’m pregnant?” “It isn’t a rumor. You are indeed pregnant,” Jacinda anxiously snapped. However, the moment she said that, she could see Alexander’s expression sink when he heard that as he stood off to one side. Elise scoffed, “Very well. You insisted on your accusation, at least. If that’s the case, things will be much simpler. As a matter of fact, it’s quite easy to make things clear, but I don’t intend to let things slide. Mr. Harris, what do you say?”

As the homeroom teacher, Mr. Harris had to take a fair stand, so he replied, “You’re right, Miss Sinclair. After the truth is revealed, if Miss Kate has indeed committed slander and defamation, we will definitely not condone such behavior.” At that point, Jacinda could feel her back drenched in sweat. The rumor had been born solely from her speculation, but judging from how Elise reacted, Jacinda’s own future might be at risk.

“Mr. Harris, I-I think we can just drop this! It was an unintentional mistake. I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. I really am!” “If an apology could solve a problem, why do we even need the police?” Elise countered indifferently. “Do you think that you don’t need to pay a price for your actions just because you are a minor?” This time, Jacinda was completely defeated. It was a crushing loss even in terms of her morale. “What do you want, then?”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 205

“I want you to publicly apologize to me by posting a hand-written letter of apology on the bulletin board. Also, I want you to clarify the truth of this matter to all of our classmates in person and admit that you fabricated all the lies out of nothing.” Jacinda immediately rejected the idea. “Never!” However, Elise wasn’t giving her any chance to do so. “You still have a second choice, but I don’t think you’ll be able to handle it.” Her words were blatant threats. At this moment, Jacinda finally saw Elise’s true colors and the former clenched her fists tightly without uttering a word.

After reading the situation, Mr. Harris said, “I feel that Elise’s request is reasonable. That settles it, then! Jacinda, since you were the one who caused all this, I hope that it will end with you too.” “No, I—” Jacinda wanted to say something, but the homeroom teacher didn’t give her the chance. Instead, he turned toward Alexander and asked, “Young Master Alex, what do you think?” Upon hearing that, Alexander slowly uttered, “As long as Elise is fine with it.” Listening to him, Mr. Harris finally realized that Elise was now calling the shots, so he quickly replied, “Alright.

In that case, we’ll just follow what Elise just said. We can go to the hospital now.” Naturally, Elise was fine with it and Jacinda had no choice but to take a gamble, so all of them went to the hospital. After a series of inspections, Jacinda turned pale as she looked at the medical report in disbelief. “T-This is impossible…” However, Mr. Harris wasn’t intending to hear what she had to say. “Miss Kate, I hope you know what you should do now. I will only give you one day. If you don’t publicly apologize to Elise and clarify this matter tomorrow, I will do all I can to expel you from the school.”

Jacinda staggered as she wanted to say something, but the head teacher had already walked away without giving her a chance to explain. Meanwhile, Elise glanced at the other girl emotionlessly, not having the slightest sympathy for her outcome. As they say, what goes around comes back around. Alexander then took Elise’s hand and murmured, “Let’s go. I’ll send you back to school.” The two of them walked away, leaving Jacinda standing there with a dissatisfied expression. What’s going on?

Didn’t Ashlyn tell me that Elise’s private life is a mess? How did it come to this? Speaking of, I really need to talk to Ashlyn! And so, she quickly took out her phone and made a call. “Ashlyn, this is Jacinda…” …… … After arriving at school, Elise said to Alexander, “I’m fine now. You can continue with your work.” “I’m not busy,” he replied. She then looked at the time and added, “But I have class this afternoon and I need to go to class now.” “You can go. I’ll come pick you up in the afternoon. Try and leave early.” After waving at him, she went into the school.

Rumors had already started to spread around the school regarding the situation, but the head teacher was righteous enough to help clear Elise’s name. Therefore, many students already knew about the truth and were sorry for spreading the rumor, so they all got together to apologize to Elise. “Elise, I’m so sorry. It’s my fault not to find out the truth before spreading this nonsense. Can you forgive me?” “Me too, Elise. I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s because that was what Jacinda told me. In fact, I didn’t quite believe her at first, but she made it sound so real that I believed her.”

Elise knew that they didn’t harbor any malicious intent as they only liked to gossip. “It’s fine. I won’t hold any grudges.” “You’re so kind, Elise!” Upon hearing that, Elise smiled. During class, she listened to the teacher attentively because she felt that she didn’t spend enough time on her studies lately, so she had to be more diligent. After school, she quickly packed up her stuff and went toward the school entrance. However, as soon as she got there, she could see a familiar figure walking into Alexander’s car and sitting in the passenger’s seat.

At that moment, she felt a thump inside her heart, as if something had been torn apart painfully. Inside the car, Ashlyn sat on the seat without Alexander’s permission and murmured to him affectionately, “Alexander, what a coincidence! I’m surprised to see you here.” Meanwhile, Alexander had an indifferent expression as he immediately ordered, “Get out!” However, she pretended not to hear him and smiled. “Alexander, how could you say that to me? Have you forgotten our years of friendship?” “Miss Lawson, if I remember correctly, I have nothing to say to you.

If you refuse to get out of the car, then I’ll go out by myself. As for the car, I’ll just throw it straight into the recycling plant.” With that, Alexander opened the door and was about to leave, but the next second, Ashlyn quickly grabbed his shirt. “Alexander, please wait! I came here because I have something to tell you.” He then cast his cold gaze at her, causing her to withdraw her hand immediately. “Alexander, I really have something to tell you.

Can you please give me a few minutes?” Seeing that he was remaining silent, she knew that her opportunity had come, so she quickly said, “So here goes—my cousin has been transferred to this school recently and she is in the same class as Elise, but there seems to be a misunderstanding between the two of them. My cousin is a naïve girl and she doesn’t have any bad intentions but sometimes, she will do something without thinking about it first, which is why she has caused so much trouble. Alexander, why don’t we just forget about what happened between them?

I’ll teach my cousin a lesson so that she won’t do such a thing in the future again—” After all that, all she wants is to beg for forgiveness. However, Alexander wasn’t interested in her cousin at all. “Are you done?” After Ashlyn nodded her head, he added, “Then get out of this car.” Even so, she still stubbornly did not want to leave. “Alexander, I know that you don’t like me, but I also know that Elise is not worthy of your love.

Do you really think she is the person that you think she is on the surface? I have something to show you about her. I know her secrets. If you’re interested, come and see me in room 502 of this hotel at 3 PM tomorrow. I won’t let you down.” After that, Ashlyn didn’t plan on staying long, so she opened the door and got out of the car right away.

The next second, she looked in Elise’s direction with a cunning smile on her face. Truth was, she had noticed that Elise was watching her just now and yet, the former still did it all on purpose. I don’t believe that she won’t have any suspicious thoughts after seeing me.

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 206

In the end, Ashlyn proudly walked away while Elise, who wasn’t far away, turned around without hesitation and left in the other direction. Alexander waited at the school entrance for a long time until most of the students were gone, but he still couldn’t see Elise, so he gave her a call. “Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable—” He frowned and felt slightly surprised, but he still refused to leave and waited at the school entrance till night had fallen. It was only then that he called the phone back home and found out from Stella that Elise had already returned home.

Therefore, he rushed back home in confusion. Knock! Knock! Knock! Alexander knocked on the door several times but there was no response, so he quickly said, “I know you’re in there. Can you please open the door? I have something to tell you.” However, he was met with a moment of silence. He knocked on the door again and unexpectedly, the room door was suddenly opened, revealing an emotionless Elise. “What is it?”

He noticed that she wasn’t in a good mood, so he asked, “Are you feeling down?” “No.” She uttered that simple word with a monotonous tone, so he asked again, “Why didn’t you wait for me after school? I was waiting for you at the entrance.” “I just so happened to hitchhike a car and came back straight away.” After that, she lifted her eyes to look at him. “I’m tired and I need to go to bed. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to close the door. Without waiting for his reply, she immediately slammed the door shut, leaving a confused Alexander standing outside.

Seeing the situation, Stella quickly came to comfort him, “Young Master Alex, you need to coax her to make her feel better. Maybe Miss Elise is in a bad mood today, so you should take more care of her and coax her more.” Alexander, on the other hand, was clueless when he heard that. “What should I do?” She smiled and answered, “Young Master Alex, if you do something that she likes, maybe it’ll work.” Something that she likes? He immediately found himself feeling puzzled as he seemed to realize that he did not know Elise very well.

I don’t even know what she likes or doesn’t like. The next morning, when Alexander came downstairs, he asked Stella, “Has Elise woken up yet? Go and wake her up!” “Miss Elise said that she is going to do her homework in school, so she left early in the morning. She didn’t even finish her breakfast before leaving,” she quickly explained. She left? Is she still in a bad mood? However, as soon as Elise arrived at school, she couldn’t read a single word on her homework because from last night until now, all she had on her mind was the scene she saw yesterday.

Then, Jacinda came in. It was still early at the moment, so there weren’t any other students in the huge classroom except for the two of them. Thinking about what Ashlyn said to her, Jacinda had completely shook off her defeated look from yesterday as she walked straight toward Elise and said, “Geniuses really are different from normal people. I didn’t expect to see you this early in class.” Elise was already in a bad mood and she didn’t want to talk to the other girl at all so naturally, she didn’t reply to her words. However, Jacinda wasn’t planning to let her go this easily and continued, “I’ve already thought about what happened yesterday.

Even though I was the one who spread the rumors, I don’t think that it has affected you much. Besides, Alexander already told me that I don’t need to apologize to you, so that’ll be the end of the problems between us. From now on, the two of us can just mind our own business and not interfere with each other.” The moment Alexander’s name was mentioned, Elise felt her expression change. Is he really going to let this slide?

“Do you really think you can get away with this so easily?” she uttered coldly. With a smile, Jacinda said, “Yes. Do you actually think I’ll apologize to you in front of all the students? That’s so embarrassing. Besides, believe it or not, Alexander already said that I don’t need to apologize. By the way, Miss Sinclair, there’s something I forgot to tell you. Ashlyn is my cousin and she’s Alexander’s childhood sweetheart.

I believe that if you didn’t interfere with their relationship, they would have been married by now. Even so, Alexander still takes very good care of my cousin. As soon as he heard that I’m her cousin, he told her that this matter is over.” After the whole tirade, the only thing that registered in Elise’s mind was Jacinda’s last sentence. So, Alexander forgave everything that Jacinda did and even told her that she doesn’t need to apologize to me all because she is Ashlyn’s cousin?

This is obviously not what he said before! Why is there a huge change in his attitude?! Elise silently clenched her fists without saying a word. As for Jacinda, she didn’t expect the other girl to be so calm after listening to her words, so she thought about what Ashlyn told her and continued, “I know that you won’t believe me, but I can tell you that Ashlyn and Alexander still have feelings for each other. If you really don’t believe me, you can go to the Sunrise Hotel at 3PM today.

Alexander is meeting my cousin there in room 502.” After that, she stopped talking and left the rest to Elise’s imagination. The moment Elise heard that they were meeting up at the hotel, she completely lost her composure. If it weren’t for the last bit of reasoning in her head telling her not to listen to Jacinda’s nonsense, she would have gone wild. In the end, she managed to keep her cool and said, “You only know how to spread lies with your mouth, so do you really think I’ll believe you?”

Jacinda waved her hands and replied, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. I’m just speaking the truth.” Taking a deep breath, Elise kept on telling herself that Alexander wasn’t that kind of a person but deep down, she couldn’t help but wonder if what Jacinda said was true. Time trickled away and it felt like torture to Elise from morning all the way to noon. She had never felt time moving so slow before. After school at noon, she could no longer sit still and wait. I don’t care whether what Jacinda said is true or false, but I need to have a look for myself.

After all, I have to see it to believe it! And so, Elise exited the school and took a cab to Sunrise Hotel. Then, she took a look at the time and saw that it was 1PM at the moment, which meant that there were two more hours till the time Jacinda mentioned. When Elise saw a coffee shop opposite the hotel, she simply went inside and ordered a cup of coffee while waiting.

At noon, Alexander ended an international meeting and looked at the time. When he saw that it was time for lunch, he called his assistant. “Cameron, come in.” Not long after, there was a knock on his office door.

“Young Master Alex, are you looking for me?” “I want you to go to the restaurant opposite the building and order two special dishes. Then, help me send it to Elise’s school.” Upon hearing that, Cameron quickly replied, “Yes, Young Master Alex. I’ll do it now.” However, just as he was about to leave, Alexander halted him. “Forget it. I’ll order it myself and send it to her school afterward.”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 207

Cameron was left speechless. Why am I starting to feel that there’s more to the boss’ relationship with Miss Sinclair? “Young Master Alex, you really are nice to Miss Sinclair.” Upon hearing that, Alexander raised his brows slightly and asked, “Am I?” If this counts as being nice to her, I hope that I can do something more to make her even happier. Cameron said to him honestly, “To a normal couple, this may seem insignificant, but for you… At the very least, I’ve never seen you this concerned about a girl even after working for you for so many years.” “It’s because she is my fiancée.”

Listening to his affectionate words, Cameron felt the pain of being a single man. “President Griffith, are you planning to go now?” Alexander hummed in agreement, thereafter grabbing his car keys and leaving the office. He first went to the restaurant opposite the building to order two lunch sets before placing them on the passenger’s seat and driving to Elise’s school. However, when he arrived at the school’s entrance, he called Elise several times but no one answered the phone. In the end, he had no choice but to call Danny. “Boss has already left long ago.

I don’t know where she went,” Danny answered. Listening to him, Alexander furrowed his brows. “You don’t know where she is?” Danny shook his head. “Why are you looking for her in such a hurry?” While glancing at the dishes on the passenger’s seat, Alexander replied flatly, “It’s nothing. Goodbye.” After hanging up the phone, he let out a faint sigh and prepared to drive back to his company but at that moment, he received a message on his phone. The message was from an unfamiliar number and it was only a line long. ‘I’ll wait for you at the Sunrise Hotel at 3PM.’

With a quick glance, Alexander deleted the message straight away. However, Ashlyn sent him another message without waiting for him to reply. ‘If you come here, I will tell you everything you want to know about Elise’s secrets.’ Initially, Alexander wanted to delete the message but after staring at the words ‘Elise’s secrets’, he decided to put down his phone. Meanwhile, Elise had been waiting outside the hotel for more than two hours. As she stared at the hotel’s entrance opposite the coffee shop, she kept on questioning herself whether to back off. What the hell am I doing?

Why am I so anxious to know the truth? Why are my emotions so agitated because of a few words? Elise Sinclair, what kind of an answer are you searching for? Can’t you choose to believe in him? After a series of internal struggles, she felt that there was no point for her to stay here, so she stood up. “Excuse me, can I have my bill please?” She paid for her coffee and prepared to leave but just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

Looking at the familiar car and figure in front of her, Elise finally realized at this moment that her heart was torn into pieces. He actually came here. “Miss, is there a problem?” the waiter asked with concern. Quickly, Elise turned around and pretended to be fine. “I’m alright. I was just thinking about sitting down again for a while. Can you please get me another cup of coffee?” After that, she went straight back to her seat, but her eyes never left the hotel for a second. In all honesty, she didn’t know exactly why she was so anxious to know the truth.

Not long after, Ashlyn came out of the hotel and grabbed Alexander’s arm affectionately. She then whispered something into his ear and unexpectedly, he didn’t push her away. Instead, he allowed her to grab his arm as the two of them entered the hotel together. Meanwhile, Elise clenched her fists silently as she had finally gotten her answer. In the end, she quietly paid the bill and left.

She didn’t know how she got back to school but in short, her mind was completely blank the entire day. It was as if she was a walking corpse. Finally, school was over and Danny came up to her and said, “Boss, let’s do our homework together tonight. I have a question to ask you.” Without lifting her eyes, she answered, “Alright.”

Seeing her gloomy expression, he couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what’s going on? Did you have a fight with Alexander?” The moment she heard the name, she immediately furrowed her brows but she didn’t utter a word. Immediately, Danny slapped his leg as he realized that his guess was right. “Boss, you should know that Alexander has a very steady temperament so he doesn’t know how to coax a girl, but he really is a nice guy.” Upon hearing that, Elise quickly halted him. “Please stop talking about him.” Danny could see that she was really angry at the moment, so he couldn’t help but mutter, “No wonder he was in such a hurry to find you this afternoon.

It’s safe to say that he has angered you. Don’t worry, Boss. If you are having an argument with him, I’ll definitely stand by your side because you will always be my boss. You’re the best!” Upon hearing that, she pursed her lips and murmured, “Let’s go back home first.” Meanwhile, Danny wisely chose to change the subject of the conversation. “Alright. Boss, can I ask you something? The question that we did today was ridiculously difficult. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can’t come up with an answer.” “I’ll take a look at it when we get back home,” Elise muttered. In the end, she went back in Danny’s car.

Meanwhile, Alexander arrived late and waited for her, but to no avail yet again. For two or three days in a row, he wanted to send Elise to school, but he never got the chance to see her because he would either get up late or she had already left early. In all honesty, it gave him a strange feeling. One night, just as Elise was about to go back upstairs to sleep after coming down for a glass of milk, a slender figure suddenly jumped out of a corner and pulled her into his arms.

“What are you doing? Let me go!” she said coldly. However, Alexander reached out to hug her. “Why are you hiding from me?” At that, Elise looked away and stopped struggling. “I’m not.” Upon hearing that, he didn’t believe her at all. “You’re lying.” “It’s getting late and I need to go to bed. We can talk about it some other day.”

She pushed him away. However, Alexander then backed her into a corner. “If you want to say anything, you can tell me now. I figure that if there’s any misunderstanding between the two of us, the only way to explain it clearly is for both of us to talk about it.”

“There’s no misunderstanding between us. Mr. Griffith, I only want to ask one thing—what are you trying to achieve?” Meanwhile, Alexander was left speechless by her question. “Elise, just say what you want. Don’t play games with me.” On the other hand, Elise lifted her eyes and looked at him. “Why are you doing this? Why can’t you just admit to what you’ve done? I told you that if you have feelings for someone else, I will not hold onto the status of your fiancée, so can you please show me some respect and not treat me like a fool?”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 208

“What are you talking about? Who’s an idiot? I’ve never expected you to do anything in the first place. Apart from that, our engagement is simply because I like you and I want to be with you. There are no other reasons apart from this.” Elise smiled, obviously not believing what he was saying. “Stop lying to yourself, Mr. Griffith. It’s meaningless if we speak about things too explicitly. Both of us should calm down for a moment and think about it. If you want to call off the engagement, just let me know in advance. As for other issues, there’s nothing for us to talk about.”

With that, Elise shoved him and walked away from him, leaving a clueless Alexander who could do nothing about the situation. With a loud thud, she closed the door and wrapped her hands around her legs, only to find tears streaming down her face immediately after that. Over the past two days, she kept telling herself that what she saw might not be true. However, she simply could not forget the image of Ashlyn holding onto Alexander’s arm. Elise knew that she had fallen deeper in this relationship, and she was also aware that her words just now were just out of anger.

However, she could not face it peacefully. Let’s both calm down. Perhaps we can find a solution after that. On the other hand, Alexander felt morose. After pondering about it for a long time, he could not understand what had happened between both of them, as their relationship was going rather well before this. “Ahem!” A soft cough rang from around the corner. Then, Danny appeared and quickly explained, “Alexander, I overheard the conversation unintentionally. It really was just a coincidence.” Alexander’s eyes darkened when he heard that. “I have something to ask you,” he said, to which Danny quickly replied, “What is it, Alexander?

Just ask away.” Looking at the closed door, Alexander asked, “Do you know what’s wrong with her for the past few days?” At that, Danny gave it a serious thought. “It’s true that Boss looks quite troubled over the past few days, as if there’s some problems on her mind that haven’t been resolved. Nothing like this has ever occurred in the past. I think it was from that day onwards… Yes, the afternoon that you went to school to look for her but she wasn’t there. Since that day, she seemed to have turned into a completely different person. Did you guys have a fight, Alexander?

Could it be that you don’t like her and want to call off the engagement?” After all, Elise had made herself very clear just now. However, Alexander announced without any hesitation, “It’s impossible. I would never do that in my entire life.” But that day… Alexander seemed to have remembered something and his expression instantly darkened. “I believe I know what happened.” Danny still wanted to ask him further questions, but Alexander did not give him a chance to do so.

As he walked away alone, Danny did not forget to shout, “Alexander, treat my Boss well! I’m her family who gives her the strongest support!” …… … The next day, in order to avoid Alexander, Elise went to school early in the morning. As soon as she reached the classroom, she started doing some practice questions attentively. In no time, the other students arrived one after another. Jacinda walked into the room gleefully.

After looking around the entire room, she instantly spotted Elise, who was doing the practice questions, and her lips twitched into a beautiful smile. Over the past few days, Elise had not sought her out to apologize to her, which was why Jacinda assumed that what her cousin said had taken effect—Elise was too busy trying to solve her own problems. Thud! The cup in Jacinda’s hands slid from her fingers, resulting in warm water spilling all over Elise’s desk. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that!” Even though Jacinda was apologizing, she showed no remorse at all.

Elise merely frowned and looked at the watermarks on her exercise books. Just as she was about to wipe the water off, Jacinda already took the initiative and quickly wiped the books with tissue papers. “I’ve already dried it up for you. I hope you won’t hold it against me.” Looking at the mess Jacinda made on her books, Elise finally raised her head and looked at her. Though it was just a glance, it was a rather menacing one. However, Jacinda merely shrugged nonchalantly. “I already apologized. What else do you want me to do?” With that, Elise took the cup from the table and immediately splashed the water on the other girl’s face.

“I’m sorry. It was also unintentional. Since you are so magnanimous, you won’t hold it against me, will you?” Jacinda was stunned upon receiving such treatment. In an instant, she became dripping wet as water slid down from her head. “Elise Sinclair!” she yelled irately. “You did this intentionally!” Meanwhile, Elise merely laughed coldly and retorted, “Same goes for you, isn’t it?” Because of that remark, Jacinda was rendered speechless.

However, she was not willing to let Elise get the upper hand. Just as the former wanted to make a fuss, she thought of something and quickly suppressed her anger. “I think you are just in a bad mood. Is it because you were dumped by Alexander and can’t find anywhere else to vent your anger? If that’s why you took it out on me, I can understand your reasons for doing so.” On the other hand, Elise immediately replied bluntly, “Who do you think you are to be my stress reliever? Look at you—are you worth it?” Elise’s words were filled with blatant disdain. Upon hearing that, Jacinda was pale one second and flushed the next.

At this very instant, she could feel her rationality completely disappearing. She could not care anymore and immediately said, “Elise Sinclair, you b*tch! Don’t think that you can do anything you want in school just because you have the Griffiths to back you up! Do you think you can even dream of marrying into their family based on your background? Stop daydreaming! Alexander treats you like this because you are still new and interesting to him. After that phase is over, you will be chased out of their family. Just wait and see!”

However, Elise remained impassive after hearing her words. “Are you done?” Jacinda still seemed quite unsatisfied and continued, “Even though you are Alexander’s fiancée now, this position of yours will be unstable soon. I advise you not to be too arrogant, lest you be more miserable in the future.” After Jacinda poured out everything that was on her mind, she felt instantly better and waited to see a look of despair and pain on Elise’s face.

However, the latter did not have any reaction, as though that matter had nothing to do with her. After a while, she said airily, “Even if my engagement with Alexander is called off one day, neither you nor your cousin, Ashlyn, will be his fiancée. He’s not blind after all, so he won’t simply date just any woman.”

Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 209

As Elise’s clear words rang loudly, the people surrounding them immediately quietened down and they did not even dare to breathe too loudly. Meanwhile, Jacinda turned ghastly pale. She opened her mouth, but she could not utter a single word. Elise merely lifted her chin and continued speaking, “To me, the position is utterly unimportant but for people like you, it’s so far off from you that you would never achieve even if you stretch your hands as far as possible. So, what the f*ck do you even have to gloat in front of me?” “You—” “Me? What about me? Jacinda, have you forgotten what happened last time?

I didn’t want to pursue that matter initially but I haven’t even heard the apology that you promised. Your attitude shows you’re not even sorry at all. At this point, do you think you should take responsibility for what you have done?” Jacinda almost could not stand up straight anymore, but she continued to ask through gritted teeth, “What have I done?! I don’t get what you are talking about.” However, Elise was not annoyed at all. “You don’t understand?

Shall I ask the homeroom teacher to jog your memory? After all, just a word from me is able to stop you from attending school here. What do you say?” At the mention of this, Jacinda finally panicked. She could not afford to leave and return to the countryside. Looking at Elise, she finally softened her attitude. “Elise, we are all classmates here who spend a lot of time with each other. Can’t you take it easy on me?” Elise shook her head. “I’m not trying to make your life difficult, but you should at least show a remorseful attitude.

Otherwise, I would really consider—” Before she even finished her sentence, Jacinda closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and immediately said, “I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. It’s my fault this time. I hope you will forgive me.” Upon hearing that, Elise replied coldly, “Louder, please. I didn’t hear that clearly. What did you do wrong? Please speak louder!” Jacinda looked at the classmates around her, whose gazes made her feel miserable. However, she did not have any other choice.

“Miss Sinclair, when I spread the rumors that you are pregnant, it brought about negative implications to you. I already realized my mistakes, so I hope you will be benevolent enough to forgive me this time.” With that, she bowed deeply, showing an earnest attitude. However, their classmates around them were immensely shocked. “What? She was the one who spreaded that rumor?” “I can’t believe that she dares to say such nonsense!

This is related to a girl’s reputation, yet she has the audacity to spread rumors relating to this. She is so evil!” “When she just transferred to our class, I thought she was a nice person. Now I’m really shocked by this piece of news.” …… … Jacinda’s mood fell sharply when she heard the way her classmates talked about her, but it didn’t matter to her what other people’s opinions of her were at this point. A more important issue to her was whether Elise was willing to let her off the hook or not. “Your apology is accepted, but whether you’re forgiven or not is not my choice to make.

I hope that you will stop disturbing me from now onward. Otherwise, we will have a good recount of all our grudges together.” Jacinda nodded profusely. “I understand.” Right at this moment, the bell rang, signifying that classes had begun. Their classmates went back to their seats, but Jacinda’s reputation in the class had been completely ruined. After she returned to her seat, she felt them looking at her from different directions, However, she could only clench her fists and keep silent. Elise is the one who caused me to be completely humiliated.

I will never let her go! Since I can’t shame her in public, I will do it discreetly. Also, her fate is in Ashlyn’s hands. I don’t believe that Elise will continue to have such good luck all the time. Since Elise managed to make Jacinda apologize, she felt slightly better. When the class commenced, she got rid of all other thoughts and paid attention. On the other hand, Alexander was in a bad state. “Young Master Alex…” As soon as Cameron opened the door, he saw Alexander looking at a file on his phone with a vacant expression in his eyes. Even after Cameron tried calling out to him a few times, he still showed no response.

“Young Master Alex, this is the new contract. The legal department already looked through it, so you just need to sign here.” Alexander suddenly jolted to his senses and looked at him blankly. “What did you just say?” Cameron heaved a helpless sigh at that. He already lost count of the times that Alexander did not hear him speak. “Young Master Alex, you seem a little off these two days. Why don’t you take a good rest so that you won’t be so tense?”

Upon hearing that, Alexander frowned and took the documents from him. He took a look at them and flipped to the last page to sign before saying, “I’m fine.” However, it was obvious that that was far from the truth, which was why Cameron did not believe him. “Young Master Alex, are you in a bad mood because of Miss Sinclair?” Truth was, Cameron’s question exposed Alexander’s thoughts completely. The latter narrowed his eyes at the former and asked casually, “What do you think has gotten into her lately?

Why is she avoiding me?” I knew it was because of Miss Sinclair! Cameron acted as though he was Christopher Columbus discovering the New World. I must say, Miss Sinclair is quite impressive. I can’t believe that she is avoiding Young Master Alex! After all, many women wanted to get closer to him in the past, but he had rejected all of them. Cameron could swear that Elise was definitely the first and the only person who dared to reject Alexander.

On top of that, she even avoided him deliberately, which was why Cameron was quite impressed by her for this. “Young Master Alex, did you do something to infuriate her? Or did you guys get into an argument? Women are actually quite easy to appease. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate, or even transferring money to her account—these methods will usually work. Why don’t you give it a try?” However, Alexander merely replied, “Am I a person with such a low taste?” Upon hearing that, Cameron quickly denied, “Of course not! It’s just that I think they are quite useful tactics, but it all depends on the woman and how close you are with her.”

Of course, Alexander knew this, but he did not know how to explain to Elise that what happened that day was a complete misunderstanding. “Alright. You may go now.” After Cameron walked out of his room, Alexander took out his phone to find a florist to order a bouquet of fresh roses. Then, he bought the biggest box of chocolates from a well-known brand and had it delivered to Elise’s school. Even after doing that, Alexander still thought that it was not enough, which was why he found Elise’s e-wallet profile and started transferring money to her.

Ding! ‘Alexander transferred 5,200 to you. Remarks: What happened that day was a misunderstanding. Listen to me.” Ding! ‘Alexander transferred 5,200 to you. Remarks: I don’t know what you heard or saw, but things aren’t what it seems.” Ding! ‘Alexander transferred 5,200 to you.

Remarks: I don’t have any other romantic feelings toward other women. Please trust me.” …… … In just one lesson, Elise’s phone kept vibrating. When she took it out, she was stunned to find more than 99 unread messages sent by Alexander. To be exact, it was more than 99 messages of bank transfer notifications.

Elise clicked open the messages and scrolled to the top. Then, she read the messages one by one until she reached the bottom. The expression on her face changed from being startled to having a slight smile. Finally, her mood had taken a turn for the better. “Boss, there’s a delivery for you,” Danny said, holding a bouquet of roses as he walked into the room. The entire class erupted into cheers when they saw this scene. He placed the roses in front of Elise.

“Boss, these are your flowers!” Elise blinked several times. She could guess what had just happened, but that was not all. The delivery guy then rushed over and passed a box of chocolates to her. “There’s a box of chocolates as well—I almost forgot about them. Please sign here, Miss Sinclair.” She took the pen from him and signed her name, but Danny could not help complaining, “Boss, who is this person? He is so old-fashioned! Who still sends roses and chocolates nowadays?

Could it be…” When he reached this point, he quickly covered his mouth, but there was a wide grin on his face before he laughed out loud. “Boss, don’t tell me this is from Alexander? He is so old-fashioned! Look at the times we are in now, yet he still sends girls roses and chocolates—” Elise quickly interrupted him and held the bouquet of roses. “Oh—just shut up! You don’t even give girls roses and chocolates.

Serves you right for being single!” Upon hearing that, Danny grumbled deep down, Now she’s just insulting me! However, Elise ignored him and smiled slightly as she held the bouquet of roses in her hands. After a while, she took out her phone and opened all the notifications of the bank transfer and read all of them. Upon seeing this, Danny widened his eyes. “Boss, is this for real? That’s so many bank transfers!” He did not forget to rub his eyes to make sure that he wasn’t seeing things. When he saw the person who transferred the money to her, he immediately said, “My goodness!

Alexander is too generous. Even I want to be his girlfriend!” A pained expression then appeared on Danny’s face. Alas, I’m not a woman! “Boss, give me some of the money too! There isn’t much of my allowance left for the rest of this month.” Elise raised her head and looked at him before saying, “I have no problem in sharing some of the money with you, but can you retract your words just now?” Danny quickly nodded profusely. “Of course I can! Alexander is not old-fashioned at all; I’m the old-fashioned one. It’s the current trend to give girls roses and chocolates.”

However, Elise shook her head. “Not this.” “What, then?” “You have no chance to be my rival, not even in your next life!” Elise said with conviction. It was only at this moment that Alexander said pitifully, “Boss, it was just a joke. For a man like Alexander, only you can handle him. Apart from that, I’m straight and I have no interest in batting for my own team.” Upon hearing that, Elise pursed her lips and smiled. “Alright. I’ll give you some of it.” With that, she transferred 88 to him without a second thought. Danny looked at her gratefully and said, “Thank you boss!”

Meanwhile, after Alexander saw that Elise had read his messages, he immediately called her. However, after a few rings, his call was being hung up. Elise sent him a message. ‘Class is starting soon. We can talk later.’ Seeing that she finally replied to him, he finally stopped worrying. Seems like Cameron’s methods are quite useful indeed. Or do they work on every girl? No matter what, the tension between Elise and I is finally resolved. ‘Meet me at the school entrance this afternoon. I’ll pick you up.” The very next second, he received a reply. ‘Ok.’ Alexander’s expression became more gentle as he saw that and his mood became better as well.

When Cameron entered Alexander’s office again, he discovered that the entire atmosphere had changed. “Young Master Alex, are you alright now?” Tapping his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, Alexander looked at Cameron, sending fear down the latter’s spine. “Young Master Alex, if you have any orders, just let me know directly. I’m getting chills seeing you like this.” “It’s been a few years since you started working for me, yes?”

Upon hearing that, Cameron had an ominous feeling. “Young Master Alex, are you going to fire me now? If I did anything wrong, you can just tell me directly. I’ll correct my behavior immediately!” Upon seeing his reaction, Alexander could not help but tease, “Correct? How can you correct it? I was just thinking that since you started working for me, you haven’t really taken a break. I was planning to give you some days off, but—” As soon as Cameron heard about getting off days, he became instantly excited. “Are you serious, Young Master Alex?

Of course I’m willing—actually more than willing—to take some days off.” “But it seems to me that you would prefer working.” As Alexander’s airy words rang out, Cameron almost burst into tears. “That’s not the case at all! Young Master Alex, I really need a vacation. I really do!” “Does that mean that you don’t love what you are doing anymore?” No matter what Cameron replied, he felt that it was wrong and thought that there was no way out for him. “That’s not it, Young Master Alex. You’ve misunderstood me.” Upon hearing that, Alexander chuckled lightly.

“Alright, I’ll stop messing with you. Because of your achievement this time, I decided to give you twice the bonus this month and half a month of paid leave.” Cameron thought his ears were playing tricks on him. After pinching himself and feeling the pain, he finally convinced himself that this was real. “Oh—Young Master Alex! My dear boss, I love you—” “Cut the mushy crap and just thank Elise.” With that, Alexander took his car keys from the table and put on his coat, preparing to head outside. Cameron hadn’t returned to his senses, so he blurted out subconsciously, “Where are you going, Young Master Alex?”

“To pick her up.” He left with that simple explanation, leaving Cameron standing on the spot blankly. Cameron blinked. I-I-Is this for real, Young Master Alex? Before school ended, Alexander was already waiting by the entrance for some time. Upon seeing Elise, he quickly opened the car door and got out of the car, thereafter walking over to her.

When she saw him, she thought about his remarks on the bank transfers. Even though she did not tell him explicitly, she had already chosen to forgive him. “Get in the car. Let’s go home.” Alexander naturally took her bag and opened the car door for her.

Elise then took a seat in his car obediently. After making sure that she was well-seated, he took the initiative to buckle the seat belt for her before he started driving. “That day—” “That day—” The both of them opened their mouths at the same time and spoke the same words coincidentally.

Upon hearing that, Elise pursed her lips. “You go first.” Alexander then quickly explained, “Honestly, what happened that day was very simple. Ashlyn asked me out to a hotel to discuss something, but nothing happened between us. Think about it—how could I fall for someone like her? If I really took a liking to her, I would have made my move ages ago. I didn’t have to wait until now.”
