Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327

With the icy blade of the dagger touching her neck, Heather instinctively flinched back. When she lowered her gaze to see the offending dagger, her breathing hitched.

She was someone who highly valued her life. To top it off, she also had people that she loved

“You won’t dare.” Heather narrowed her eyes, attempting to see how far Elise’s limits stretched.

Elise curved her lips up, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “You can try me.”

Heather could see from Elise’s eyes that she had thrown all caution to the wind. In the end, Heather didn’t push her luck.

Elise knew a little about fighting in the first place. Now that she had a dagger, she had the upper hand completely. Once she had ascertained that Heather wouldn’t continue fighting, she finally moved on to the next step. “Get up,” she threatened. Still holding Heather, she turned to glance at the door. “And open the door,” she urged.

Heather obediently did as she was told, moving over to grab the handle. However, the door wouldn’t open. “It’s locked.”

“You better not be playing any tricks.” Elise actually didn’t believe her.

“If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.” Heather raised her arms in surrender. “You’re Matt’s only chance of turning the tables. You think he’ll let you escape so easily?”

Elise had enough of pointless blabbering. Matthew could come by any time now. She didn’t have much time to waste. Every second was precious.

“Turn around.” After getting Heather to stand with her back to her, Elise pointed the dagger at Heather’s back while she tried to open the door with her free hand. In the end, there was no miracle. No matter how much strength she poured in, the handle remained resolutely in place.

Heather smiled, pleased. “Matt’s going to come back soon. And before that happens, you better go back to the room, or I can’t guarantee what kind of treatment you’re going to receive otherwise,” she reminded.

Go back? Wouldn‘t that be waiting around like a sitting duck? Elise wouldn’t admit defeat

so easily. Thus, she put away her dagger and began to search for another escape route.

Heather, on the other hand, was no match for Elise. They both knew this fact deep down, so she didn’t escalate the situation any further.

Like she was watching a show, Heather coldly looked on as Elise searched from the kitchen all the way to the study with nothing to show for it. She once again mocked, “Stop wasting your time. This place is completely sealed off. There’s no other exit apart from that door.” In addition to that, that door was specially made. No blade was going to scratch that door, and axes wouldn’t be able to break it down. Other than getting its key to unlock it, there was no other way to get that door to open.

Elise returned to the living room once more and looked at Heather dejectedly, who was enjoying the show. These two are mad for constructing such a huge hidden space out of nowhere. Am I really never going to escape?

Just as Elise was about to fall into despair, Alexander’s familiar low voice sounded from outside. “Elise, are you in there?”

Elise’s eyes instantly lit up, and she whipped around. “I’m here! Alexander! I’m inside!” He found me. He really found me. She knew she could trust this man.

“Okay, got it. Don’t get overexcited.” Alexander unhurriedly calmed Elise before he continued in an unrushed manner, “I’m going inside now. Stand a little further away.”
