Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530 He Hates the Color Red More Than Anything Else!

As the pair came downstairs together, David tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with Celina. “By the way, you’ve turned 22 this year. Time to find me a good son-in-law, don’t you think? Got anyone in your mind yet?”

“What’s the hurry, Dad? It’s not like I’ve ever been short of admirers,” Celina replied shyly.

However, David said earnestly in a grave tone, “No, you’d better hurry, Celina. If you keep on being choosy, you’ll end up becoming an old spinster. The older a lady gets, the less worthy she becomes. If you keep playing for time, you’ll only get to choose from whoever is left. The guy you mentioned last time—Kenneth Bailey—I think he’s pretty nice. I’d rest assured if you could marry him.”

“Oh, Dad, you’re making fun of me again!”

“No, I’m not making fun of you at all. If you’re determined to marry no one else but him, I’ll go to him on your behalf and ask him if he’d like to marry you. Whoever takes the initiative doesn’t matter. If you don’t grab the opportunity when a good candidate for a husband comes across, someone else’s gonna steal him from you.”

Celina pursed her lips bashfully before leaning her head on David’s shoulder. “Okay, okay, I’ll try my best to get you the best son-in-law in town, but that’ll be tomorrow. For now, Dad, let’s think about what to say later to the guests, okay?”

David couldn’t do anything with her, so he dropped the subject.

With that, Celina finally managed to drag David downstairs. While he was delivering his speech on stage, she went to Regina, a domestic helper for the Saunders Family, and had the latter keep a close eye on the Saunders Residence’s entrance in case someone wearing a red dress was denied entry.

Meanwhile, Faye was stopped at the entrance by the Saunders Family’s servants just as she was about to register her attendance. At first, she was still able to keep smiling, but after being denied entry twice, she felt like a laughingstock in front of the guests who had entered. Consequently, she forgot her manners and threatened the servants right away, saying, “Are you guys f*cking blind or something? How dare you even bar me from going in? In case you didn’t know, I’m the eldest daughter of the Anderson Family, as well as a close friend of your young lady. Can any of you bear the responsibility if I end up being late for celebrating your young lady’s birthday?”

The servants looked at each other upon hearing Faye’s words. It’s enough for us to be a doormat for Miss Celina at the Saunders Residence. Are we gonna let an outsider insult us as well? they thought. Having reached a tacit agreement, they resolutely refused to let Faye in. Even if Master David or Miss Celina is here, we can pass the buck by saying that we’re denying her entry for the sake of the party’s safety. It’s difficult to punish anyone for doing something when everybody’s doing it, so there’s no way they’re gonna fire all of us.

One of the servants—a man—said in a defiant manner, “Please don’t scare us by saying that, Miss Anderson. On an occasion like today’s, even if Master David or Miss Celina’s here, there’s no way you could go in. I’d say you’d better follow our kind advice and leave of your own accord as soon as you can. If not, then don’t blame us for being rather unpleasant with you!”

“Unpleasant?” Faye let out a sneer as though she had heard an outrageous joke. Holding her head up high, she continued, “Well then, let me see how you’re gonna be unpleasant with me!” Talk about bad luck! Not only is Celina unable to take cues from people, but even her servants are so badly-behaved!

On the other hand, the male servant didn’t mean to lay a hand on Faye; he was merely trying to scare her off. After all, the Saunders Family’s guests were either rich or respectable, so he couldn’t afford to mess with any of them. “That’s enough. Just go back and stop wasting our time here. Otherwise, if Master David sees you—”

Just then, however, they were interrupted by a thick female voice. “Hold on!”

Everyone turned to look at where the voice had come from. At the sight of the person to whom the voice belonged, the servants in charge of guarding the entrance immediately restrained themselves. “Ms. Regina.”

Regina was a distant relative of the Saunders Family who had been working at the Saunders Residence ever since the Saunders Family went up in the world. She was closer to David and Celina than the other servants were, so all the servants treated her with respect.
