Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 984

"You have to take it easy, then. Are you not worried that I will avoid you as Narissa hides from Jamie?" Elise muttered under her breath.

"Nope." Alexander stepped onto the stairs without stopping. "You and Narissa are different; you're happy!"

"Geez!" She landed a punch on his chest.

Husbands and wives should care more about quality than quantity.

Alexander having extraordinary control over everything was the reason Elise was attracted to him. Jamie, on the other hand, was just a friend to Elise.

…

The next day, Jamie was busy taking over the company while Narissa was left to twiddle her thumbs. She decided to hang out at the Griffith Residence since Elise had brought back the clothes she bought yesterday.

After she sat there for a while, renovation workers started moving pieces of glass in and out of the building.

"What is this for?" Narissa asked.

"Blame it on that man back then," Elise muttered. "Even the glass in this antique house is antique. It took several days for the manufacturer to make these, and I immediately urged them to come to install the glasses. Otherwise, the drafts that keep coming in are bad for one's health."

"Oh, just talking about that loser gets me so pissed!" Narissa's face immediately turned angry as she peered at Alexander. "It's your fault for letting him go just like that. He knows that he'll get caught if he ever shows up in public again, which means that's the last thing he'll do!"

Elise had a confused look on her face when she heard that. "Why are you angry?" she asked.

She didn't know what had happened between the two in the basement.

"I—" Narissa blurted out. Out of worry about being gossiped about, she quickly changed the direction of the conversation. "I'm worried about the children. People with impure intentions like them are a ticking time bomb as long as he is not caught. This will only end up in more trouble."

Elise only grew more confused when she saw Alexander smile without uttering a word. "What's so funny?" she urged.

Narissa quickly gritted her teeth and shot Alexander a warning look.

Alexander nodded agreeably and smiled. "It's nothing. It'll indeed be hard to find someone who wants to stay hidden. Even so, it's not ideal to keep dragging this out if our comrade Narissa shows such concern for our family. I do have a way to deal with this problem."

Narissa was a little embarrassed, but her desire to catch that guy was even stronger. She grabbed the armrest out of excitement and asked, "What is it? Oh, don't keep us hanging. Tell us!"

Her impatience was something that might stick with her for the rest of her life.

"We will pull the snake out of its hole!" Alexander's confident words echoed.

…

The next day, news about the sale of an exorbitantly priced house made it to Mesdra's social media, and all the major television channels rushed to report it.

"A few days ago, a wealthy Cittadelian businessman decided to sell an antique house under his possession at a low price due to personal reasons. The house is well-preserved and has a large potential for an increase in value. Dozens of people have shown interest in it to date. If the public is interested, be one of the first to—"

At the same time, a man paced back and forth in his room after watching the news in a residential building in the commercial center of Wegas.

"Why? Why?! Why?! He's selling it again? These capitalists don't cherish antiques at all! Antiques should be preserved and taken care of. Does he not have any common sense?!"
