Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Up for a Match?

As soon as Kenneth said that, the whole room erupted into chaos.

Elise is his woman?! Then, what does that make Melody, who is practically stuck to his side all the time?

However, Melody acted aloof and she stood there quite calmly, as if she was not the least bit inquisitive of her boss’ woman.

Mr. Carnegie was initially stunned, but he quickly collected himself and chuckled. “This is unexpected, Mr. Bailey. You’re very good-looking, so you must be popular with the ladies. You young ones are quite impressive. I’m not a match at all.”

“You’ve got it wrong.” Elise then added, “I’m not related to him at all.”

However, Kenneth disregarded her words and looked toward Mr. Carnegie in resignation as he explained, “Women tend to enjoy such games.”

“I completely understand.” At that point, Mr. Carnegie revealed a knowing look and he patted Kenneth on the back. “I’m sorry for being rude earlier. Don’t take it personally.”

“It’s fine.” Kenneth dealt with everything with ease.

In the end, Mr. Carnegie made a move after making small talk for a short while.

Just then, Elise turned to glance coldly at Kenneth and she warned him, “You’d better not challenge my limits.”

“Tsk!” Kenneth revealed a hurt look and said, “I’m heartbroken, Miss Sinclair. I helped you when you were in trouble, so how could you treat me this way?”

“I didn’t ask you for help.” Elise couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him before walking off.

The smile on Kenneth’s face disappeared and he turned to signal to Melody. Subsequently, the latter went after Elise.

“Miss Sinclair,” Melody trailed after Elise and followed her as they strolled mindlessly along. “How much do you know about Mr. Carnegie?”

“I don’t know him.” As soon as Elise finished her words, she suddenly realized that Melody had been following her. “Why are you following me?”

Meanwhile, Melody ignored her question and continued to explain, “Jim Carnegie is the organizer of the gem auction event and he’s the head of one of the founding families of Dukethorn. In the past, the Carnegie Family would always manage to gain a lot of top-grade gemstones from each gem auction event. All this while, they have also maintained their position as the primary founding family quite well but last year, there was a slight occurrence…”

At that, Melody stopped suddenly, seemingly lost in her memories.

At that moment, Elise was quite engrossed so she took the initiative to ask, “Why did you stop? Do continue. I hate it when someone stops halfway while talking!”

“Last year, there was a girl, who was known as God’s Chosen Girl, and all of the stones that she bid on turned out to be top-grade ones. As for the Carnegies, they barely uncovered any top-grade stones, so they were humiliated in public. Over these years, the Carnegies had established themselves in Dukethorn and lived quite lavishly. They completely disregarded the outsiders. However, God’s Chosen Girl turned the tides and brought pride to the non-locals.”

Melody seemed to admire God’s Chosen Girl very much and this was evident judging by the look she had on her face, which she rarely showed.

Elise found Melody’s reaction quite comical, so the former slowed down and lifted her eyebrows teasingly. “So, where can I find God’s Chosen Girl?”

The sparkle in Melody’s eyes dimmed when she heard that. “She disappeared right after the gem auction event. Perhaps it was because too many people wanted to get her to work for them and she got quite annoyed about that. In the end, she went off the grid. I’m not even sure whether she’s going to attend this year’s event.”

“That’s wishful thinking. God’s Chosen Girl is a load of baloney! She was just lucky, that’s all. Even if she dares to attend this year’s event, she won’t be able to have such good luck again. Perhaps she might only be here to entertain the crowd. Ha!”

Elise turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and she saw a guy. He had a carefree attitude and was dressed quite outlandishly too. Just then, he walked in surrounded by a few people.

“Who are you, anyway?” Elise asked in an unpleasant tone.

Meanwhile, Melody whispered in her ear, “He’s Ziggy Carnegie, the only son of the guy you met earlier, Jim Carnegie.”

Just then, Ziggy headed straight in Elise’s direction and he stopped in front of her. He didn’t hold back at all and he studied her intently, a roguish look in his eyes. “You’re such a stunning beauty! Is this your first time here? Do you know who I am?”
