Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435 I’ll Wait for You

Meanwhile, a conflict was brewing in Russell’s house. Previously, Daniel had confidently promised Elise to look for the hyacinth serum. After they got home, both Daniel and Russell did their research to find out that the hyacinth serum was more valuable than all of the most treasured items in their possession. They couldn’t even purchase the serum in any of the markets or herbal stores in Tissote.

Although they heard that the serum was available in the black market, it was too much work. Firstly, they didn’t know anyone that could get them into the black market, and secondly, the price of the serum itself already made them tremble in fear. They couldn’t even afford a single one, let alone a hundred of the serums.

“It’s your fault! How could you be so uneducated? You don’t even know what the hyacinth serum is! Now that you’ve made a promise, that brat will no longer trust us if we don’t give her the items! Do you think she’d be willing to change her perceptions toward us if we failed her this time?!” Russell smacked his palm against the table. He was harsh and aggressive—the complete opposite of the polite and respectful man he appeared to be in front of others.

“What’s the use of scolding me now?” Daniel didn’t look like he was sorry at all. “If I knew what it was, I would’ve had to admit that I couldn’t get it for her on the spot. I’d be embarrassing myself one way or another. What difference does it make? Now, at least we managed to protect our dignity. We can continue to drag this promise—that brat won’t ask us for the items as long as she doesn’t have the money to pay us,” Daniel uttered.

“I guess that’s the only thing we can do now,” Russell said with a sigh. He gazed out into the distance as he spoke in a solemn voice. “We’ll just have to pray that everything’s going well on Tania’s end.”

Russell had just finished speaking when a petite figure walked through the entrance. Russell’s face darkened immediately. Tania went over to them, but before she could voice her complaints, Russell began shouting at her. “Didn’t I tell you to stay with the Sinclairs? It’s only been a day! Why are you back here?!”

Tania had to force her tears back down as she bit her lip and eyed her father with a pitiful look. “It’s not that I don’t want to stay there, Dad. I simply can’t do it anymore! Alexander is a pedantic man who doesn’t allow anyone else close to him, and Elise… She’s just too terrifying! You guys didn’t see how she used a tiny needle to paralyze the young lady of the Dahlen Family! That woman’s head was crooked when she left their house! I’m afraid I might lose a limb if I stayed there any longer!” Tania cried.

When Daniel heard what Tania said, he looked down and began to chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?!” Tania shot him a side glare.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just recalled something funny.” Daniel parted his arms and stood up to walk over to Tania with an undaunted look on his face. He patted Tania on her shoulder as he spoke in a neutral tone. “You can just tell us if you can’t handle the harsh conditions there. I’m sure Dad will allow you to come home if you whine to him for a while—he’d still feed you and allow you to continue being a useless brat at home. You don’t have to come up with this nonsense of a story.”

“You’re the useless brat!” Tania blurted, but she gasped and forced a smile after that. “Fine. I’m the useless one. Since you’re so amazing, why don’t you take up this duty to get closer to Elise?” She paused for a while before she turned to Russell. “I admit that I’m useless, Dad. I’m sorry. From now on, I’ll stay at home so that I don’t cause you guys more trouble. I believe Daniel can be the one to realize your amazing plan. I’m tired, so I’ll go to bed now.”

Russell parted his lips as if he were about to say something, but Tania didn’t give him the chance to speak—she turned and went upstairs immediately. Daniel seized this opportunity to step forward and flatter his father. “Don’t worry about her, Dad. She’s a girl—what help can she be? We just need to make sure that she gets married to a good man so that she doesn’t continue spending our money. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to settle things with Elise, and I’ll make sure to do it well.”

“Does that mean that you have an idea on how to deal with this?” Russell asked.

Daniel smiled in a confident manner. “Tania said that things didn’t work out with Alexander, right? Since a pretty woman can’t do the job, then we’ll use a handsome man to do the same thing. I have a friend who’s great with women…”
