Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603 A Frog in Boiling Water

Without a change in countenance, Elise sat back and silently texted Bloodthirsty Manor’s URL to Joseph, asking him to look into it.

After class ended, Elise caught up to Martin to ask him for a leave of absence. “Mr. Kamp, I’ve got something personal to deal with today, so I need to take a day off. Could you please write me a note of permission?”

Martin frowned impatiently. “Miss Sinclair, do you want to skip your lessons just days after joining the class? If you really have no intention of focusing on your studies, you should speak to the principal to withdraw from the Elite Class instead of dropping in and out of lessons in front of me!”

This lecturer must be bipolar or something. Never mind, I’m not gonna argue with a psychiatric patient, thought Elise. With this thought in mind, she tried her best to maintain her composure, saying, “You’ve got the wrong idea, Mr. Kamp. I really want to learn some stuff, but I had promised my friend a few months ago to be there today, and I think we should keep our promise. Don’t you think so, Mr. Kamp?”

“I don’t care whether you promised your friend a few months or a few years ago—whenever it was, it happened without my knowledge. I’m not your servant, and besides, what made you so certain so long ago that I’d definitely do as you say right now? What are you gonna do if I don’t allow you to have a leave of absence?” Martin looked as though he had nothing to lose and wasn’t afraid of the consequences.

“Well, in that case, I have no choice but to ask the principal for that.” After giving Martin a nod of acknowledgment, Elise turned around and headed toward the principal’s office.

Martin shouted at the top of his voice behind her, “Yeah, just go to the principal. You’re best at exercising your privilege, aren’t you?”

These words weren’t spoken with emphasis, but the sarcasm in them was so unmistakable that Martin might as well just say explicitly that Elise was nothing without the principal’s backing. Of course, by ‘privilege’, he wasn’t only referring to the principal but also to Kenneth.

Elise stopped in her tracks on the spot. She really had enough patience with Martin, but this man’s way of thinking was simply too much for anyone to put up with. He’s as small-minded as an ant despite him being an adult man. We aren’t enemies, but he keeps passing ill judgment on me. Does he really want that much to have a wicked person around him?

She took a deep breath and was just about to argue reasonably with Martin when someone spoke before she could. “Is that so? But I feel that the way you use your privilege puts everyone else to shame, Mr. Kamp.”

This voice… Could it be Alexander’s? Elise turned around, and sure enough, Alexander was walking up to them from the stairs nearby with his hands behind his back.

“Who are you?” Astounded, Martin staggered back half a step. “How did you get in here?!” I spoke to Mr. Haas last night to get the janitors to have an iron fence installed at the gate downstairs. Not only that, but they’re supposed to lock the gate and forbid anyone from going in and out of the building half an hour after class starts!

“Oh, you mean this?” Alexander pulled his hand out from behind his back to show the iron chain he was holding before throwing it at Martin’s feet. “I’ve cut it for you, though you don’t have to thank me for that.”

Martin was filled with rage when he looked down at the iron chain, which was broken into several pieces. Pointing at Alexander, he swore, “H-How dare you vandalize the school’s property! Stay where you are! I’m gonna call the security guards now!”
