Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767 Elise’s Ashes

When Adelpha heard her father’s words, she unconsciously lowered her voice as her eyes brightened up.

“It is going great. I’ll be able to pass Grade 10 this time and join the Piano Association. Don’t worry, Poppa.”

“That’s good news. You embarrassed me when you failed last time. I don’t want anything to go wrong this time. Quickly get practicing!” Exhausted, Onyx only wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

“But, Anastasia asked me to make her plum pudding…” Adelpha took the opportunity to snitch.

Hearing that, he glanced at Elise angrily. “She wants to eat? Let her make it herself then! I want everyone in the White Residence to listen—Adelpha’s hands are used to play the piano. I will punish anyone who dares to hurt her hands!”

Onyx seemed like he was warning everyone in the house on the surface, but they all knew that the words were for Elise alone.

With Onyx’s backing, Adelpha naturally didn’t have to be a slave to her sister anymore. After she threw Elise a smug look, she went upstairs with him.

As soon as the father-daughter duo turned around the corner, they bumped into Jacob, who was about to go downstairs.

Onyx quickly realized that the man Elise brought back was the same one Lyra had told him about on the phone.

“Who are you? I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to have a long stay in someone else’s house for no reason.” Onyx indirectly tried to get him out of the house.

Jacob then responded by nodding politely and starting, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Anastasia’s husband. I will live with everyone in the future, so I hope we get along, dear father-in-law.”

“Hold your horses!” Onyx interrupted. “Who the hell are you calling your father-in-law? My daughter is still an unmarried woman. Keep on with your nonsense and I’ll sue you for slander!”

“It is true.” Elise walked to Jacob from behind them. “We have already gotten our marriage certificate abroad.”

“What? You got a marriage certificate? You actually made a decision on something so major without discussing it with me first? What else have you done without telling me?!” Onyx’s anger rose again just as he had calmed down.

“There are a lot of things you don’t know. I am afraid you won’t be able to handle it if I were to tell you everything all at once,” replied Elise with a calm expression.

His face was flushed and his eyes were resentful as he glared at the duo. He took some time to suppress his anger before directing it to Jacob. “What is your family name? What is your name? Where are you from? What does your family do?”

“He is just like you. He comes from a poor family too. He is the poor son-in-law who marries into the rich White Family,” Elise intentionally mocked her father.

As expected, Onyx started foaming at the mouth and chided, “What the hell are you talking about? Who told you that I was someone who married into a rich family?!”

“Oh, I misspoke. The money the whole family spends is my mother’s dowry, after all, so it is no wonder I thought so. You are an elder, and I hope you don’t blame me for it.”

With just a few words, Elise had proven that Onyx was a man who relied on a woman. She was even telling him to hold himself in after she pointed her finger at him.

Onyx’s cheeks were puffed in annoyance, but it was true that he shouldn’t be angry at someone much younger. All he could do then was speed up his pace as he stomped back to her room.

As soon as he closed the door behind him, a disgusting smell immediately entered his nostrils, making him hold his breath while he pinched his nose.

“What is that smell? Why does it stink so bad?!”

As Onyx complained out loud, the bathroom door opened and Lyra came stumbling out while leaning against the wall.

“Dear, you are finally back. I have been having diarrhea the whole night and morning. Hurry up and get me a doctor…”

Lyra was so weak that she couldn’t stand still. Just as she finished speaking, she felt her stomach tumbling again. She couldn’t at all control the ring of muscle on her behind from releasing bottom burps.
