Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1016

"You are too sly," Elise exclaimed as she realized she had been duped yet again.

As the saying goes, everything has its vanquisher. Alexander was her lifeline, and he had her wrapped around his finger.

"Then, I'll pick first. I'm betting on Zephyr. If I win, we'll have a son," Elise declared.

"Oh well, I guess I'll just have to bet on Narissa." Alexander sighed and gave off a pitiful expression. However, in a split second, his eyes shone bright with triumph.

Elise was initially pleased with herself for being the first to bet, but she didn’t realize that Alexander would benefit regardless of having a son or a daughter.

…

After half an hour, the aroma of barbecue meat wafted in the air, filling the atmosphere with piquant wafts of herbs and spices.

Camren, who had been sleeping, was startled awake by the savory smell. He crept out of the room while Rebecca was napping and dashed to the backyard.

There were various cuts of meat on the grill, but the sizzling wagyu beef and pepper skewers stood out the most.

"Give me five skewers, with extra chili and spice!" Camren commanded Clement while rubbing his hands together and gulping his saliva.

Clement silently sprinkled the chili powder on the skewers, let it roast for a while, then took a handful and handed it to Camren.

Camren was about to bite into his skewers when a hand from the side grabbed them all.

"You're not supposed to eat these!" Rebecca cried. "Dad! Are you even aware of your current health situation? How dare you eat the skewers? Are you not worried about dying?"

Her rambling demeanor was reminiscent of an elder reprimanding a child.

"I listen well to you these days. I also eat healthily every day. What's the matter with having a sumptuous meal?" Camren wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and fixed his gaze on the meat skewer in her grasp.

"Don’t you realize that even slight negligence can lead to a major disaster? You should be cautious about what you eat for the sake of your health."

Rebecca's assertion sounded reasonable. She then bit into a large piece of slightly charred beef on her hand before grumbling, "It tastes so-so; nothing special."

She took another bite as she spoke, and the juice from the meat swooshed out, making her entire mouth glisten.

Clement gave her a short glance before returning to his job.

Camren was on the verge of tears because, despite Rebecca's complaints, she devoured the meat so deliciously. This was torturous for him!

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Jamie clinked the glass and announced, "The tournament is about to begin. Please enter the arena in an orderly manner."

That does sound like a legitimate boxing match due to his emcee skills.

It's no surprise that Elise would suggest Jamie join the vibe builders at social gatherings.

People began to crowd around him at this point.

"Becky, let's go and watch the fun!

Camren had to experience the fun even though he couldn't enjoy the barbecue meat. He was the fastest to grab a decent seat, making sure Rebecca was by his side as well.

At this juncture, everyone had surrounded Irvin and Raymond. They were standing across from one another, exuding opposing auras.

Raymond took off his jacket and revealed only a white sleeveless vest. His muscles, particularly his toned chest muscles, were more visible, adding power to his fighting spirit.

In comparison, Irvin appeared much slimmer. He stood alone with a poker face, looking handsome but a little frail.

Camren looked around for a moment before turning to Rebecca.

"I heard they've all placed bets, Becky; how about we join in?"

"It's all stuff for teenagers. We are far too old for this." Rebecca had never shown any interest in such things.
