Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760 It’s Not an Illusion!

Elise’s eyes seemed to brighten the moment she stopped in her tracks.

It was no wonder a second bomb suddenly detonated when she was dived into the water.

They didn’t know that Anastasia had taken her life due to a broken heart. In order to prevent her from coming back and ruining their “happy wedding”, they did not hesitate to take the lives of everyone on the boat.

Only the truly cruel at heart could do something like this, and the woman with such a heart just so happened to be Anastasia’s stepsister, Adelpha White.

It was also because of them that Elise was disfigured.

As she thought about this, she suddenly felt compelled to bend down and get close to Adelpha. She then suppressed her own voice, making it as disembodied as she could, and moaned, “I… want you to pay for my life with yours…”

“What? Ah!”

Adelpha let out a shriek as her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the floor with a thud as she fell unconscious.

A look of annoyance immediately appeared on Elise’s face when she saw this. What is someone so timid trying to contract a killer for? she thought.

It suddenly seemed baffling how Anastasia was successfully forced into a dead-end by people like them.

Still, now wasn’t the time to be thinking about this. It was late. She should be resting now.

Turning her head, Elise called out to outside the door. “Come on in.”

As soon as she said that, Jacob, who had a different face on, came walking in while carrying various bags of all sizes.

Adelpha was shaken awake after an hour.

“Adelpha! Why are you sleeping on the floor, Adelpha? Get up! You are going to catch a cold!”

Adelpha was greeted by the sight of her mother, Lyra Syren kneeling beside her, looking at her with a caring expression.

“Momma!” Adelpha quickly sat up and grabbed Lyra by the wrist. The former was a bundle of nerves as she exclaimed in a horrified voice, “I saw Anastasia! She is going to kill me! She said she wants me to pay with my life. You have to help me, Momma!”

“What nonsense is this, my child? Quickly get up.” Lyra helped her daughter up before she reached out and gestured at the whole house. “Look around. Where is this Anastasia you are talking about? You only had a bad dream. Anastasia died at sea a long time ago. She won’t come back even if she has turned into a ghost! Why are you scaring yourself like this?”

Upon hearing that, Adelpha finally felt her agitated heart calm down. She then lifted a hand to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead. “Thank God it was just a dream…” she repeatedly mumbled to herself.

Right about then, a set of slow and rhythmic footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs.

Adelpha immediately felt a chill run down her back, and as she instinctively whipped her head around to look, she saw ‘Anastasia’ strolling down the stairs in casual slippers.

“Ah!” Adelpha was hiding behind Lyra in an instant while she pointed at the stairs, horrified. She couldn’t even smoothly get her next words out. “M-Mo… Momma, look! It is not an illusion! Anastasia has returned! She is here for my life!”

Afraid that the truth would be revealed, Lyra chided, “Shut your mouth!”

Elise, however, ignored them and went straight to the sofa to sit down. She then calmly instructed a servant, “Make me some chamomile tea.”

Now that she had a proper place to stay at, what she needed next was a good night’s sleep.

The mother-daughter duo supported each other as they approached Elise and sat down in front of her. They kept glancing at her face, and they eventually confirmed that she was the ‘Anastasia’ who had passed away.

Swallowing her saliva, Lyra put on a calm face as she questioned, “Where have you been these few months?”

Elise threw them a cold, nonchalant glance at that. “I didn’t know I needed to tell you about my plans.”

Her eyes only met Lyra’s for no longer than a second, but that moment’s fear was all it took for Lyra to feel faint.

Somehow, the Anastasia in front of her felt different.

Still, this was the White Residence, and Anastasia’s father wasn’t here. Lyra had nothing to be scared of.

The older woman quickly calmed down and with a lonely demeanor, she began to preach, “Do you really think you don’t need to? In this case, why did you come back home? You don’t answer the phone and you don’t reply to messages; do you know how worried your father has been? We have raised you into a grown woman, but you still have no sense of responsibility at all!”

“Oh.” Elise fiddled her fingers unhurriedly and remarked, “My phone broke when I fell into the sea. I couldn’t use it anymore, so I have been using a new card.”

“You can’t make calls with the new SIM card? Is this the reason you made us worry?!” Lyra kept pressing for answers.

“What else?” Elise raised one eyebrow and looked at her with a relaxed look.
