Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Rise From the Dead,Coolest Girl in Town
“It looks like you’re planning to spare Jeremy’s life for the time being?” Alexander mentioned. “That’s not true!” Elise frowned as she tried to recall when she had said that. Meanwhile, Alexander lifted his head to stare at her, his dark eyes glimmering as he revealed a slight smile. “Or perhaps you are of the opinion that your fiancé would really let the entire Griffith Family’s fortune go down the drain?” Elise caught on to his words right away. Alexander had the utmost confidence that he could keep the Griffiths from bankruptcy. In that case, she had no excuse to go up against Jeremy, which meant his life would be spared. Just then, Elise furrowed her brows into a thin line and she frustratedly replied, “I’ve overlooked that.”
At that point, Alexander lifted his hand to ruffle her fluffy hair. “It’s alright. A stunning girl with a boyfriend wouldn’t need to lift a finger to seek revenge.” Stunning girl?! In all honesty, Elise felt that Alexander was exaggerating. After all, once someone like her takes offense against a person, she would definitely go after the other party’s life. She held her grudges, and did not forgive nor forget. Only Alexander could choose to go against his conscience and turn a blind eye to that. Elise’s expression was serious when she removed his hand and teased, “President Griffith, it’s not right to judge someone by wearing blinkers.”

Alexander smiled in response. Then, he naturally took her hands and wrapped them around his waist so she seemed to be hugging him by default. Soon after that, he reached out and pulled her into an embrace using his long arms. “I can’t help it when I’m faced with you.” He didn’t plan to change either. It was a natural instinct to be biased toward someone you love. Elise felt her face flush red and it felt as if there was a magical spell that had been cast on her, so she didn’t dare to move a muscle. The two of them remained in an embrace for quite some time until the elevator doors from nearby opened and a middle-aged couple in their forties walked out of the elevator.

They stared at the hospital room nearby for a short while before heading in their direction. “It’s here.” The woman glanced at the room number and agitatedly pinched her husband’s arm. Elated, both of them exchanged looks with each other before she reached out to push the door handle. “Stay right there!” Elise hollered at them. The tenderness in her eyes disappeared and she became quite wary. “Who are you?” She had clearly seen the gloating look that flashed across the duo’s faces. They had a calculative and greedy expression and almost instantly, she was on her guard.

The woman’s smile stiffened upon being interrupted and she scrutinized Elise for a short while before speaking up exasperatedly, “We’re the patient’s family members. Who are you anyway?” “Oh? You’re the family members?” Elise expressionlessly raised her left eyebrow as she started to study the duo carefully. The Sinclairs did not have many relatives but the familial ties were quite strong between family members, so Elise could remember each of them clearly. However, these two were the exceptions. From her memory, this duo had never appeared before. She noted their appearance and saw that they were dressed quite ordinarily. Perhaps they’re very distant relatives that we hardly ever see.

Just as Elise was feeling quite perplexed, the middle-aged man, who had remained silent all this while, walked forward and stood protectively in front of the woman. Subsequently, he spoke arrogantly. “I’m the patient’s son, Joshua Sinclair, and we’re here to visit my mom. What are you two up to anyway? Why are you behaving shiftily by the doorway to my mom’s room?” Elise noticed his indignant look and she couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Did he rise from the dead? These imposters are so unprofessional! They should at least find out our family background properly. Indeed, Laura had a son but he had passed away more than ten years ago and he was no longer alive.

These two must have gotten the news of Laura’s critical condition, so they had rushed to the hospital to claim a share of the Sinclair family fortune. Meanwhile, Joshua found Elise quite strange and he frustratedly spat out, “You’re a lunatic…” After saying that, he placed a hand on his wife, Maureen’s, shoulders and reached out his other hand to push the door handle. Just then, Elise instantly reacted to that and she moved forward to grab Joshua’s hand. She easily grabbed him and she pushed him against the wall by the room. “Oh my god! Where did this lunatic come from? Help! Is there anyone there? There’s a lunatic here assaulting us! Hel—” Maureen immediately yelled out for help as soon as she saw her husband get into trouble.
