Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

A worried John was frantic as he waited by the phone. For some reason, the value of his company shares suddenly plunged by three hundred points before it came to a trading halt half an hour later. As a result of this, the company’s net worth had instantly dropped by a few billion.

Furthermore, he had also received a phone call from a stranger. The said person mentioned that the reason for his company losing money was because of his darling daughter, which was why John was currently on the phone with Jasmine. “Jas, did you offend anyone at school recently?”

A surprised Jasmine paused for a moment before reacting indignantly, “What do you mean by that?! How could I possibly have offended anyone?!”

All of a sudden, Elise’s name came to mind but shortly after that, Jasmine brushed it off and thought, Elise’s just a country bumpkin, so how could our fight have possibly alerted Dad?! She then subsequently disregarded Elise.

“Dad, don’t tell me that you’ve been listening to those nonsensical rumors out there?! I’ve been following your advice at school and been on good terms with all of my classmates. By the way, I’m having lunch with my classmates right now.”

“Alright then. It’s good to know that you’ve been behaving yourself. However, I’m warning you, you must treat your classmates nicely and maintain good ties with

everyone.”

“Sure, I know that.” Jasmine was evidently quite annoyed at this point, but she didn’t forget to remind, “My pocket money for this month is running low.”

When he heard that, John felt his head pounding, but he didn’t reject her request. “Okay, I’ll transfer you some money later on.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

After Jasmine hung up the phone, she turned to her sidekicks and suggested, “Let’s skip this afternoon’s class to go shopping.”

Meanwhile, Rita hesitated, “P-Perhaps we shouldn’t?”

Jasmine retorted, “It’s not a big deal. I thought that you wanted a Chanel No. 5 Eau de

Toilette? How can I buy it for you if you don’t join us?”

Rita then gritted her teeth in determination. “Okay then, let’s go together.”

Upon hearing that, Jasmine smiled in response and it was evident that she was in good spirits. However, she was completely unaware of the situation that befell Anders Group.

John was rubbing his temples with a pained look. Meanwhile, his secretary gingerly reported the situation, “President Anders, the company’s cash flow is at a critically low level and we’re on the brink of bankruptcy. There are quite a few projects that we still need to finance. The bunch of people working on it has started to kick up a fuss.”

The moment he heard the report, John felt his blood pressure rising. “What did you just say?! How could this have happened all of a sudden?!”

“Actually, this isn’t a recent issue. We have faced a capital chain rupture before, but our regular customers have maintained a working relationship with us out of trust all along. However, as the company’s stock has traded to a halt now, our business partners are afraid that we’ll be unable to service our debts-”

As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”

The trembling secretary slowly backed out of the room. As for John, he was on the verge of losing his cool, yet he still remembered to tap on his phone and transfer a sum of about tens of thousands to Jasmine.

As soon as she received the money in her bank account, she beamed widely and immediately went shopping with her sidekicks in tow.

“Boss, don’t you worry. In less than three days, the Anders Family will be rendered bankrupt and their business will no longer exist.” Jamie was full of flattery. “Hey, do you feel less upset now?”

Meanwhile, Elise grunted with an indifferent expression as her anger had subsided significantly

“Hehe! Then, let’s have lunch together. I’ve heard of this newly-opened restaurant that serves great food.”
