Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 751

Chapter 751 You Are Not a Stranger

Elise would have agreed with Elijah without any hesitation if he told her his request before Trevor was injected with the cure.

However, she was now calm. She was aware of the reason why Elijah would give her the cure without a cost. He wanted her to believe the medicine could cure Alexander, so he could finally impose his conditions on her.

If she really agreed with him, then that would be allowing him to lead her by the nose. Therefore, she turned on her heel to leave immediately.

“Wait!” Elijah said, and he had decided to make a concession. “What if I ask you to only divorce him? I don’t need you to marry me. Is it enough?”

Elise stopped but didn’t turn to face him as she was thinking of turning the tables to her advantage.

Elijah was aware of her wit and her personality. Afraid that she would leave, he added, “The Boyle Family knows you’re going to become my wife, but you married someone else instead in the end. It is so humiliating. Now that you know the value of the medicine, you have to repay me. I can’t just do it for free, can I?”

“Sure.” She finally turned to face him with a calm expression. “I’ll do it. In addition, you have to give me the medicine to treat Grandma.”

“You aren’t regarding yourself as an outsider, are you?” Elijah took out a document from the folder that his assistant passed to him. “You should have married me. We could’ve worked together to conquer the corporate world with your persuasion.”

“I’m doing great on my own. Why do I need to be burdened?” Even though Elise was good at suppressing her emotions on the surface, she was anxious inside.

She was betting her luck that Elijah wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to have something on her. For all that the man had sacrificed, he wouldn’t leave without a harvest. If he gained nothing in the end, he would be dissatisfied. As long as he showed a hint of dissatisfaction, then she could get the cure by giving only the minimum.

He perused the documents and turned his attention back to Elise. Their eye contact lasted for a few seconds. Even if their expression betrayed nothing, their gazes revealed that they were gambling, as if an invisible rope was the only balance between them.

After a while, Elijah handed over the document to her. “First, you ask Alexander to sign these. Second, you’ll travel around the world with me for three months. After that, I’ll give you the two cures you’re asking for.”

Three months was a long period. However, if Elijah could save Laura’s life, then his wishes deserved to be fulfilled.

“You have a deal.” Elise accepted his conditions.

“You need to reconsider it.” A wicked smile formed at the corner of Elijah’s lips. “I want to see Alexander’s signature first before you can have the cure.”

“There’s no need.” Elise reached out her hand. “Either trust me or lose the deal.”

Elijah was out of plans, so he could only signal his lackeys to give her the cure.

Meanwhile in the Griffith Residence, the live streaming was called off as the incident happened. There were only the Griffiths and the two guests in the household, and the film crew had already left.

When Elise returned to the residence, people were gathering in Alexander’s room, including Jamie and Joseph.

“Boss, I have announced the reward. I believe that we can find a cure soon.” Jamie was worried as he saw her distressed look.

“The organization also helped with spreading the news,” Joseph added as well.

Elise gave them a tired nod. “I got it. You guys can leave. I want to continue the treatment for Alexander.”

Hearing that, Madeline asked in concern, “You look exhausted. Are you sure you can continue?”

“This is not the time to pick up a fight.” Adam wasn’t pleased.
