Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 861

Chapter 861 She Won’t Die

Jamie complained while walking toward the working area. The moment he turned around, his spirit and drive dissipated, leaving only eternal darkness in his eyes.

Half an hour later, everything was ready in preparation, and all of Elise’s family and friends had gathered backstage to cheer for her. At that moment, the Griffiths’ driver suddenly barged in.

“Mr. Griffith.” The driver bowed respectfully. “Miss Jessamine was involved in a car accident. Do you want to head over and take a look at the situation?”

When everyone heard the news, they looked at each other while having their own thoughts. All the drivers of the Griffith Family were the best of the best. Why would they choose today out of all days to get into an accident? It was obvious that they were helping Jessamine steal Alexander from ‘Anastasia’.

Up until now, Jessamine was still Alexander’s fiancé, so it would not look good if he did not visit her in the hospital. However, today was Anastasia’s first book-launching event after returning from abroad. It would not look good either if Alexander did not show up.

Right when everyone was feeling nervous for Alexander, he looked at the driver expressionlessly and asked, “Is it serious?”

Dumbfounded, the driver replied, “Miss Jessamine only suffered minor injuries, but the doctors suspect she’s at risk of having a concussion.”

“That means she won’t die.” Alexander maintained his blank expression and showed no signs of moving. “You may leave now. I’ll head over once I’m done here.”

Even Jamie was shocked by that. After Elise’s disappearance, Alexander had countless women, but he had never neglected the old for the new. It seemed like he had indeed fallen for Anastasia.

However, Alexander disregarded everyone’s reaction and gentlemanly reached out his hand to invite Elise. “It’s about time we head on stage. I’ll escort you over there.”

Raising her eyebrow, Elise placed her hand in his and let him lead her out of the lounge while everyone else was watching.

After making sure no one had followed them out, she complained quietly, “You’re making me look like a troublemaking vixen.”

She was being unreasonable.

Then, Alexander boldly placed his left hand around her slim waist and took the opportunity to take advantage of her. “Aren’t you my little vixen?”

Immediately shying away, Elise warned, “Be careful! What if someone sees us? Don’t forget that you still have a fiancé!”

After receiving a scolding, his face instantly fell. “Jessamine did it to herself. Smith Co. has thousands of employees and there would be hundreds—if not tens of them—getting into accidents every day. Have you ever seen the boss of a company accompanying his employee while she’s in the hospital? No matter what, the only relationship we have is between an employer and employee, but she wants to cross the line.”

Turning her head to look at his serious expression, Elise thought that he was even more reasonable than seven years ago, rendering him more attractive.

Perhaps to the outsiders, his method was too ruthless, but to Elise, she agreed with his decision. He should not give others false hope for something that would never happen.

She hoped that Jessamine would come to her senses after today’s incident and have a clearer understanding of her position.

No matter what, she was willing to continue this act with Alexander to keep their family safe. She would not personally deal with Jessamine unless she had to.

…

At the Griffith Residence.

After sending Elise home, Alexander went back straight to his home. He did not even call to ask about Jessamine’s condition.

The moment he entered the door, he was stopped by Jessamine’s children, who had been waiting for him.

“Mr. Griffith, Mommy is not doing so well. Can you please head upstairs to see her?”

“Mr. Griffith, please. Mommy doesn’t feel good. She’ll feel better after you comfort her!”
