Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 901

Chapter 901 Overtime

“Tsk!” Margaret rolled her eyes at Edmond in frustration. “Just keep quiet! I’ll explain it to you later!”

“To hell with your explanation!” Edmond grabbed his crutches and wobbled to his feet. “Your first explanation ended up with you shoving me onto the street so that a car would run over me, and now you want to give me an explanation that is going to have me turning over all of my assets? Either way, you just want me to be the one who bears the brunt of all the suffering!”

“What are you even saying? Stop acting so crazy! Just shut up!” Margaret never thought he would mess things up at a time like this. In her panic, the only thing she could think to do was to raise her voice and drown him out.

“You’re the one who should just shut up! I’m telling you now. If you want to be taken advantage of, then go ahead and do it alone! I’m not going to go along with this plan of yours. So what if Anastasia has it out for me? I can just file for bankruptcy and let them take my company. Even if that happens, I can still enjoy myself with the millions that my family has. Trying to use my money to achieve your goals and force me to beg on the streets, huh? Don’t even think about it!”

Edmond tore off the bandage around his forehead and neck and threw them away before hobbling off with the help of his crutches.

“You fool!” Margeret stomped her foot in fury. “If you leave now, it’s over for us both!”

Edmond didn’t care at all. He sped up and disappeared out the door soon after.

“Oh, no! The show’s ruined!” Elise gasped mockingly on purpose.

Margaret was infuriated and frustrated at the same time. She clenched her fists as she cursed Edmond in silence.

She had always been shrewd. How did she end up with such a lousy partner?

Margaret turned around and glared at Anastasia with resentment. Discontentment and hatred swirled in her eyes.

“Your partner has given up on the show. What else do you have to say?”

Alexander was staring at her with deep dissatisfaction. The temperature of the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.

He pulled Elise into his arms in silent warning.

Anyone who tried to touch his woman had better ask for his permission first.

Left with no way out, Margaret decided to throw caution to the wind and give it one last shot. “I just want to know one thing. Do you really want Anastasia to return the money to you?”

Alexander held Elise even closer to him. “What do you think?”

He didn’t give a straight answer, but Margaret had the answer anyway.

Alexander wouldn’t make life difficult for Anastasia.

And just like that, Margaret knew that as long as Anastasia was still around, she would always be reminded of just how unfair the world was.

Some people were born with everything in life. Life favored them even without them having to lift a finger. Meanwhile, when it came to her, she would still end up with nothing after all her scheming and plotting.

Margaret hated this world, and she hated Anastasia even more!

If Anastasia hadn’t befriended her, she could’ve still tolerated the perfectly average fate she had, but because Anastasia had stormed into her world, she realized just how unfair it was and started wanting more and more.

It’s all because of Anastasia! Anastasia’s the one who ruined my life!

Margaret gave Anastasia one last look of hatred and resentment before stomping off in anger.

Alexander noticed the look in Margaret’s eyes. As soon as she left, he called his assistant.

“Deal with Margaret and Edmond as soon as possible.”

He hung up immediately after giving his instructions.

“Are you making a move against them too?” Elise had intended to handle the matter herself. She didn’t expect Alexander to get involved.

Alexander brushed her hair to the side gently. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to butt in, but it seems like it won’t be safe if those two are still around. I can only rest easy once they’ve been dealt with.”

“Oh, alright.” Elise shrugged. She did feel it was a bit of an overkill to have Alexander deal with those two.

“Are you unhappy about it?” Alexander asked.
