Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1061

Owen was about to drink his tea when he heard Wendy's comment. His hand came to an abrupt halt and his smile froze.

"No matter how many fine qualities Alexander has, he's too stubborn for his own good. Even if you fancy him, he might not be interested in Triune's dealings," he remarked meaningfully as he hinted at his discontent.

Ever since Owen could remember, he had been working toward the goal of destroying humanity. He didn't let up on it for even a second, and it earned him the position he was in now.

He single-handedly planned the kidnapping of various physicists from different countries and framed others for it, which led to the conflict between the different countries and significantly halted the progress of science and technology in said countries.

It wouldn't be amiss to say that Triune wouldn't have gotten to where it was now if it hadn't been for Owen. All along, Wendy had her eye on him as her successor.

However, Alexander had only risen in fame for a few years and Wendy was already starting to express her dissatisfaction with Owen. She kept picking on his faults and drawing comparisons between him and Alexander. She was both overtly and covertly implying that she was disappointed in him for being less than Alexander.

Owen knew full well just how intelligent Alexander was, but in the same way that Owen was born to conspire against humanity, Alexander would never have anything to do with Triune.

Regardless of how much admiration Wendy had for Alexander, the only thing she would get in return from him was her ruin and destruction.

I'm the only one who can bring Triune to new heights! I'm the one who can give her the ability to sit in that position and watch as humans fight among themselves.

My dear Miss Jennings, you've grown old now and you don't even know who's your most loyal follower!

Wendy eyed Owen with an indiscernible gaze before averting her eyes and saying calmly, "If you're unconvinced, then prove to me that I didn't choose the wrong person."

Her tone was airy. It made it seem as if everything she said was perfectly reasonable.

Once she finished, she got up and left.

Owen's hand began tightening around his cup until his knuckles were stretched thin, and with a loud crack, the cup shattered in pieces.

…

Another day passed. The moment the sun came up, Danny received a text from Suella.

'The reports came back. You're the one who got in bed with me.'

She included a photo of the final page of the DNA report that said the two samples were a match.

Before Danny could absorb the shocking information, Ariel snatched the phone away from him and called Suella. "What do you want?"

"Alicia has already told you. Thirty million. I won't accept anything less," Suella replied.

"Alright. Pick a time and location. We'll sit down and discuss this in further detail," Ariel readily answered before hanging up and tossing the phone back to Danny.

Danny caught the phone as he grumbled, "Why did you agree without even asking me first? I know very well that you're the one I was holding before I lost consciousness. I wouldn't have had— I wouldn't have done anything with Suella!"

Even though a similar incident had happened in the past, Danny didn't want Ariel to think that he was such a womanizer.

Furthermore, her unbothered attitude made him feel as if she didn't care about him.

It was as if it didn't matter to Ariel whether or not he cheated on her.

Ariel shrugged and said, "Exactly. Since you didn't do anything, we can't let this scheming woman get away with it. You got a problem with that?"
