Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626 Not Just His Wishful Thinking

One couldn’t fake pure love toward another.

‘Kenneth’ also seemed to realize that he was giving the game away and quickly turned his attention back to Alexander.

“Everyone is in the know, so I won’t bother beating around the bush. Mr. Griffith, I know what you’re worried about, and I also understand Miss Sinclair’s concerns. I have said it before and I will say it again: I have no intention of making her uncomfortable, nor do I intend to violate her when my affections aren’t returned. So, I don’t think there’s a need for you guys to distance yourself from me.”

While he was talking, Elise was motionless like a cheetah in an ambush, engrossed and ready to make a fatal strike at her prey.

Alexander paused for a while when he heard this. Then, finally, he put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned against the seat behind him, folded his legs, and said with a smirk. “I hope Mr. Bailey understands one thing—my wife is very outstanding. I imagine that, just like you, many silently choose to become an unknown knight by her side, even though I am one of them. But my wife has the final say on whether or not you can become an official knight that stands by her side. Other than that, the rest will be just purely harassment.”

“I didn’t intend to harass your lives,” the so-called ‘Kenneth’ said dispassionately.

“But you’ve already made things difficult for us.” Alexander pressed forward. “I have done some investigation on you, Mr. Bailey. And, truth to be told, we don’t quite agree with some of your methods. I have to say, though; I believe it’s true that birds of a feather flock together, and we’re unquestionably not alike. So, I think it’s better to make things clear when it comes to some aspects of our lives.”

“Do you mean you would want to stop the cooperation with Smith Co.?” ‘Kenneth’ looked at Elise thoughtfully again. “Is this what Miss Sinclair wants too?”

Alexander was also silent, calmly waiting for her answer.

Of course, he didn’t want her to cut off contact with Smith Co., since the company would solve most of her troubles.

He had joined forces with Johnny to act out this scene because he understood how her mind worked. Since she came up with the idea of asking him and Kenneth to solve each other’s problems, this meeting was inevitable.

The second reason was that Alexander wanted to take this opportunity to positively confirm Elise’s attitude and whether she could accept the organization of Smith Co. and the unruly Kenneth.

He had been wandering around her with two identities and genuinely felt guilt-ridden. He wanted to tell her everything, but he was afraid that she would be disgusted by his unscrupulous actions.

Alexander’s hand hidden under the table was secretly clenched into a fist, and he started to feel a little impatient.

However, Elise was thinking of something else.

She clearly had an appointment with Kenneth, but this one in front of her was a fake.

Was this Kenneth’s arrangement, or did those people also use a fake mask, kidnapped the real Kenneth, and used a fake one to confuse her?

No matter which one it was, she had to first confirm the other party’s identity.

Fortunately, she had tried on Jacob’s human-like skin mask before, and she knew exactly how she could pull off the mask as quickly as possible.

She completely ignored the conversation between Alexander and the fake Kenneth just now. Then, she stood up without warning and walked around the table’s edge toward Kenneth the next second.

As she walked, she recalled, “Kenneth, do you remember when we were in Landred City, you got stabbed in the alley because of me and almost died?”

The fake Kenneth’s eyes looked around and while she was not paying attention, he hurriedly signaled to Alexander for help.

Alexander slowly shook his head. He was injured because he broke into the underground organization alone, not in an alley.

However, he could not express these words directly to Johnny. Only Melody was accompanying him in Landred City at the time, and Johnny did not know the details of what had happened.
