Chapter 472
“Wait a minute.” Joey suddenly calmed down. “How did you know that I love H? Did my dad tell you that? You’ve been planning this! Great!”
“Come on, give your father some credits.” Elise indifferently uttered, “He didn’t tell me anything. I guessed it.”
“Guessed it? How? We hardly spoke.” Joey expressed her skepticism.
Elise then looked at her body as she smoothly clarified, “The cute figurine hanging on your bag is from H’s Q series, and your bag is of the same brand H carried when she attended events.”
Joey was dumbfounded. “Who are you?”
“You wanna know?” Elise lifted one of her eyebrows.
Joey, in return, stupidly nodded.
“See for yourself.” Elise pulled a face on her and turned around to leave.
Baffled for a moment, Joey stomped her feet toward Elise. “Hey! Where’s my signed poster and photograph?”
At that moment, Danny slyly barged in. “I’m one of H’s friends, you know? Call me ‘Big Bro Danny and I’ll get them for you. How’s that?” He had always wanted a little sister with a cool yet silly personality like Joey.
But Joey stared at him as if he was deranged. “Stay away from me!”
Having brought humiliation upon himself, Danny could only sulk as he leaned against Clement.
As he was about to lean in, Clement slowed down his steps, widening the gap between him and Danny.
“Not cool, man!” Danny stood still on the ground, expressing his anger.
Clement, however, couldn’t care more. He walked past him and chased after Elise without a word.
Tilted, Danny pursed his lips. Perhaps he was the one that nobody wanted.
The next day, Faye, along with an agent of Anderson Pharmaceuticals based in Landred City, arrived at the land auction venue.
“Miss Faye, you didn’t actually have to come, you know. None of the participating bidders can compete with the Andersons. With their capabilities, there’s no way they could acquire the land, the agent, Armand Kurt, stated.
“I don’t need you to tell me that. I know what I’m doing” Her mysterious appcarance was meant to confuse anyone who attempted to read her mind. Though, that was nothing but a facade. In fact, she was so nervous about the auction that she felt compelled to witness the end of it. Trevor curviving had been a huge shock to her, and she had since been anxious about things not going her way. Hence, she had to supervise everything herself. Once she had gotten her hands on this piece of land, those misogynistic incels from the company’s board would no longer have anything to say about her. Having thought of that, she heaved a sigh. Ever since Elise became Yoona, she never lived a day peacefully, as if something was constantly pricking her.
“What a small world it is.” All of a sudden, a voice interrupted her contemplation. Turning to the source, she saw Elise and Alexander intimidatingly walking toward her under the company of a bunch of men.
“Why are you here?” Faye questioned in a hostile tone.
“For the same reason you came,” Danny discourteously mocked.
Faye squinted her eyes. I knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly!
“Oh, Elise, as much as you hate me, it’s not funny to pull pranks in auctions. Raising the price will only obstruct the company’s goals, you know?” Faye softly warned.
“Can’t be too sure about that.” Alexander cut in, “If Elise acquired the land and joined the Andersons, wouldn’t that be highly beneficial to the company? What do you think of that, Miss Faye?”
