Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535 It’s Now or Never

“I didn’t see it. Elise tricked me into getting detained in the detention center for a few days.” Faye successfully found an excuse. In reality, though, even if she didn’t have her freedom restricted, she wouldn’t have opened the hundreds of meaningless messages in the group chat every day unless she needed to.

“It’s Elise again!” Celina was seething with anger. “She spoiled everything. How abominable!”

Faye rolled her eyes in secret. She’s really good at pleading innocence, huh? She doesn’t blame herself at all for being unable to do anything right, she thought. Still, she reminded Celina patiently, saying, “It’s okay. We all learn from our mistakes. Now that you’ve been tricked by her this time, you gotta be careful in the future. Don’t play into her hands again.”

“You’re talking like it was all my fault. I didn’t say anything about how you had nearly angered my dad to death, yet you started on me!” Celina had suffered a lot of grievances today, so she wasn’t in the mood to please Faye. Her eyelids drooping, she said impassively, “We’re besties, so it’d be unsightly for us to fall out. I’ve got to entertain my guests, so you should go on on your own.” As she was sulking, she wasn’t even willing to say goodbye. After finishing her sentence, she immediately left without looking back.

“You little piece of—” Faye stamped her foot in anger. What an idiot who wouldn’t even listen to someone’s kind advice! Does she honestly think that the Andersons are eager to lick the Saunders Family’s boots? Although the Andersons and the Saunderses are equal in terms of strength, when it comes to social standing and connections, the Saunderses, who are only a family of upstarts, can’t even hold a candle to the Andersons. How dare she actually blow up at me? Why do I still bother pleasing this good-for-nothing? I might as well go my own way! Losing her temper at once, she turned around and left without asking Celina to stay.

Elise was looking into the distance from one of the balconies on the top floor of the Saunders Residence, so she happened to see how the two ladies had gone their separate ways at the residence’s entrance. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and a sharp glint flickered in them. Losing your composure after losing face a little, huh? There’s more where that came from, Faye! Your ‘fortune’ is still awaiting you!

She kept watching until Faye’s figure disappeared before she withdrew her gaze and prepared to leave. Just then, however, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Celina meeting up with Gabriel in a small garden with trees. Her eyes turned cold at once. What’s the matter that they need to discuss without being noticed? She had a hunch that she had something to do with this.

“Seems like the scenery here is nice.” Kenneth leisurely came to Elise’s side while glancing down casually at the ground below. “Let me take a look. What’s the scenery that Miss Anderson’s been unable to tear her eyes away from?”

“I wasn’t enjoying the scenery.” Elise put on a straight face with a meaningful look in her eyes. “I was looking at the sky. It’s going to rain, I’m afraid.”

Kenneth looked up at the sky before bantering, “What makes you say that it’s going to rain? The sun’s still blazing high above in the cloudless sky.” As soon as he finished his sentence, though, he immediately realized that Elise was referring to the Saunders Family. But what is she worried about? The storm just now has subsided, no? He couldn’t quite put a finger on it.

Elise subconsciously answered him back, saying, “Someone like you will only cause trouble for others. How can you see the trouble somebody else’s in?”

Kenneth tilted his head to one side with a faint smile. Ellie, you’ll know one day that I’m braving the storm out there to do a better job of keeping you away from the storm that’s coming at you.

“Let’s go.” Elise took another glance at the small garden before turning around to enter the house. “The next drama’s about to unfold. Gotta let them find me, the protagonist, huh?”

…

Meanwhile, Gabriel and Celina were standing face to face in the small garden, the former bowing respectfully while quietly observing their surroundings from the corner of his eye.
