Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Sound Him Out

Elise paused as she was reminded of her brother. Ever since she returned from Pinewood Hospital, she hadn’t seen Trevor again and had eventually forgotten about him. Soon, she recalled the time she gave Austin an acupuncture treatment, thinking about the symptoms she could have easily missed. Things would have gotten worse if I hadn’t detected those symptoms, but Austin… Upon a brief contemplation, Elise decided to leave Austin aside first and look into Trevor’s condition. “Bring Trevor to me tomorrow. I’ll treat him.”

“Really?!” Jeanie looked at Elise in surprise, but that look only lasted for a short while before it was replaced with a worried expression. She then asked in a concerned manner, “You nearly fainted when you treated your dad the last time a few days ago, so are you sure you’re going to be okay? Don’t get ahead of yourself, Yoyo.”

“I’ll be fine. I’ve had enough rest.” Elise smiled faintly and patted the back of Jeanie’s hand. “For now, that’s going to be the plan, and I’ll see him tomorrow.”

“Alright!” Jeanie nodded her head repeatedly, happily looking at Elise while feeling grateful for having a daughter like her.

“It’s getting late. Please rest early. I need to return to my room and get ready for tomorrow’s session.”

“Alright. Make sure you rest well because I don’t want you to push yourself too hard. I’m sure your brother will understand if your treatment doesn’t seem to work on him, so it’s going to be okay,” Jeanie replied.

Elise pursed her lips without responding to Jeanie’s words. Upon returning to her room, she sat down in front of her laptop and started running a program with it to give Claude a call.

When Claude saw the call, he immediately answered the call and put it to his ear. “Father, is the rescue mission really so urgent that you have to call me personally?” Claude agitatedly asked.

“Did you fall out with the organization?” Elise used a voice changer to alter her voice, making her sound like a man speaking.

“No way!” Claude smiled and answered, “My dad owns the organization. Furthermore, I’m living my life well, thanks to you all, so why would I want to ruin it by stepping on everyone’s toe in the organization?”

Elise nodded, thinking Claude was not aware of the matter as she expected. Thus, it naturally occurred to her that the problem was with SK Group instead.

“Have you booked the flight?” Elise changed the subject.

“No, I haven’t, but you should know that I’m wanted by a lot of people back in the country, so I had to sneak back with a fake alias,” Claude explained.

“Alright. Stay safe.” Elise emotionlessly hung up the call, fixing her gaze on her laptop monitor screen that was showing the profile picture of the organizational member online. In fact, she had noticed that the core member of the organization, Joseph Fuller, would log in approximately two minutes after she signed in almost every single time. Thus, she was sure that it was no coincidence as she suddenly had a bad feeling about the mystery. She then waited for a few minutes and opened the chatbox with Joseph, deciding to send him a text message to sound him out. ‘I want to quit.’

Two minutes later, Joseph replied with a few messages coming in one after another.

‘Where are you?’

‘Are you in some kind of trouble?’

‘Don’t do anything reckless. Get back to the headquarters. We will protect you.’

While Elise set her eyes on the messages that kept popping up, her gaze turned cold and indifferent because she knew she wasn’t texting with Joseph. After all, Elise knew Joseph was aware of how much SK Group meant to her and that he would usually just laugh it off. Thus, she couldn’t help but wonder who exactly was on the other end. Who is this person? Is he controlling the entire SK Group, or has he just taken Joseph’s place? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Elise replied to the text message. ‘It’s personal. Don’t dwell too much on it.’
