Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 The Severest Trials

“You’re so smart, Edwin. Indeed, I have a favor to ask of you at the moment. It’s just that I don’t know how to put it…” Celina said before pausing in hesitation.

Edwin didn’t conceal his desire for Celina at all, and his eyes showed nothing but love as they opened and closed. “You needn’t ask me for favors. Your business is mine, too, so just say whatever you want to ask of me.”

Celina curved her lips into a perfunctory smile while leading him to a deserted corner. After looking around and seeing that nobody was approaching them, she asked cautiously, “Edwin, do you know about Elise Sinclair?”

Elise had attracted a lot of publicity today, and people were talking about her everywhere, so Edwin knew her, of course. “Yeah, I do. What’s wrong?”

Instantly assuming a meek and mild demeanor, Celina lowered her eyes and sniffled on purpose. “Actually, she’s the second daughter of the Anderson Family. I accidentally wore the same dress as she did at someone else’s party before, and she has been holding a grudge against me since then. This time, she’s here on purpose to ruin my birthday party. Even her sister—the lady who came in wearing a red dress just now—did something so stupid because she had tricked her into doing it. Because of that, my dad was nearly angered to death. I’m scared… I’m scared that she won’t let me off!”

“What? This is outrageous!” Edwin instantly burned with indignation. After taking two more sips of wine, he boasted right away, “Don’t worry; I’ll never let you suffer any injustice in my presence. Moreover, your dad has always been nice to me. I’ll keep a close eye on Elise for you during the rest of the party so that she won’t be able to create any trouble!”

“Now that you’ve said so, I can rest assured, of course. It’s just that I’m worried, since she could trick Faye into wearing the red evening dress without noticing anything wrong. Who knows when she’ll do something harmful to the Saunders Family and me if I don’t fight back in time? I’m really scared…” Celina pretended to be terror-stricken while paying attention to Edwin’s response consciously or unconsciously.

Edwin thought about it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “You’re right; we shouldn’t sit on our hands. Alright, I’ll bring some men with me to teach her a lesson right away for your sake!”

Upon hearing his words, Celina was secretly delighted. Raising her bright eyes, she stared at Edwin, saying, “Actually, I’ve had everything arranged. I’ve got a plan, but the plan’s gonna be really difficult without you.”

Even though Celina was dumb, she had a pretty face that looked quite pitiful. After all, she was the apple of David’s eye, and he raised her to be a slim and graceful lady. Men could hardly resist her beautiful eyes even when they weren’t showing any feminine charm. Furthermore, Edwin had been lusting after her for a long time. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Nana. As long as you give the word, I won’t bat an eyelid, even in the face of the severest trials!” he said with a look of unswerving determination, as if he was ready to risk everything.

Celina’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. This guy’s still unwilling to give up, huh? Is he still hoping that I will see him in a different light even now? He should’ve looked at himself in the mirror. How dare he have designs on me while looking like that? He does have an exaggerated opinion of himself, doesn’t he? Anyway, this works for me, since it’ll save me much trouble.

With that, Celina told Edwin everything about her plan without forgetting to dangle a carrot in front of him. “I know about your feelings for me, Edwin. As long as the plan works, I’ll definitely take some time to consider our relationship…”

Before her voice could fade, though, a bunch of ladies walked up to them. One of the ladies stepped forward right away, holding Celina’s hand while saying excitedly, “Celina, didn’t you say last time that you’d show us around your newly renovated house? Don’t forget about this after the guests have left later on!”
