Coolest Girl in Town, Chapter 412
“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked.
“Trevor got beaten up,” Elise answered with an emotionless expression on her face.
Upon seeing her expression, Alexander knew it was a serious matter.
Reaching out to grab her hand in his, he patted her shoulder gently to reassure her and ended up holding her hand throughout the entire journey.
When they got to the hospital, Elise was told that Jeanie was also injured while protecting Trevor.
After they rushed into the hospital, they quickly ran into Jeanie, who was supported by a nurse.Her head was bandaged, and she looked really weak.
Trevor’s condition was worse.He was lying in bed and couldn’t get up at all, immediately returning to his old self.
In Trevor’s ward, Austin was quiet while sitting next to his bed, and the atmosphere in the ward was extremely tense.
“What happened?”
Elise broke the silence, as she couldn’t handle the depressing atmosphere any longer.
Although her words were directed to Jeanie, the usually straightforward Jeanie hesitated before muttering inaudible sentences.
Elise turned toward Austin.However, it was a given that he wasn’t willing to talk to her.
“Tell me what happened,” she turned to Trevor and said in an annoyed manner.
I’m here to help them resolve their problems instead of causing more trouble for them, so why are they hesitating to talk?
“I got scammed and blackmailed.”
As Trevor’s entire head was covered in bandages and only his eyes and mouth weren’t covered, he was having a hard time trying to explain what happened.
“I took the money you gave me to make a deal with the company’s financial director, but I didn’t expect him to spike my drink.When I woke up, there was a woman sleeping next to me, and the woman’s brother came in with a group of men before I could try to escape and beat me up.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “They refused to settle things peacefully and were adamant about destroying my reputation, so they’re probably on the way to prepare an exposé at some media firms.”
“Did you do it?” Elise asked coldly.
“Of course not.”
Trevor was sure before he asked in an angered manner, “Do I look like I have to force women to be with me?”
“What’s the use of saying all these now?!” Jeanie, who had been quiet all along, snapped.
“The man said that if Trevor doesn’t marry the woman, they’ll sue him for sexual assault! His future will be ruined if that happens!”
“Mom, why are you so worried? As long as I know that I’m innocent, he can sue me however he wants.I refuse to believe that the police will frame an innocent man!” Trevor exclaimed.
“What do you know?! You’re still single now! If the news about these gets out, who would still want to marry you?!” Jeanie argued anxiously.
“If no one wants to marry me, so be it! Since Yoyo is already back, you can put her and her kids in your will, then! I don’t care about these, anyway!” I don’t get it! Why are they this worried? “That’s enough!”
Austin snapped, causing everyone to shut up before he said with a dark look on his face, “Stop it.I’ve already invited the woman’s family out to have a talk with them.We will continue this discussion at home.”
Right after that, a loud commotion rang out outside of Trevor’s ward.
When Elise wanted to turn around to see what was happening, the door was pushed open from the outside, causing her to lose her footing and fall into Alexander’s arms.
“Austin, I took a cab and came here right after knowing that you wanted to meet me!” The man who spoke was the womans father, Leeroy Field.
His eyes were narrowed, making him look like a calculative man, and his loud voice was beyond annoying.
Leeroy shook Austin’s hand before he turned toward Trevor and pretended to be kind.
“Oh, no! How could my son do this to you?! He should have been gentler since we will be a family soon!”
“Who wants to be in a family with you?!” Jeanie snapped.
“I’m guessing this is Mrs.Anderson.”
Instead of getting mad, Leeroy smiled.
“It’s fine.You have the right to be mad since my son really went overboard this time.Still, you have to put your emotions aside, as we still have to discuss our children’s marriage!”
“I won’t marry your daughter.Just give up!”
