Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

“What are you doing, Alexander? Let go of me.” Elise struggled in embarrassment. If it weren’t for the darkness, everyone could see her cheeks that had become as red as tomatoes.

Alexander frowned and asked, “Didn’t you say your leg hurts?”

Elise replied, “But I can walk.”

“It’s not a problem for me. The road is slippery in the dark, so I don’t want you to fall again. It’s not a long way, anyway.”

Since Alexander said so, Elise had to swallow her words and obediently stayed in his arms. She let him carry her over to a boulder, where he squatted down to check her injuries. “Luckily, they are just some superficial injuries. You’ll be fine after putting on a little medicine back home.”

“Oh, thank you, Alexander.”

Alexander got up and instructed the subordinates behind him, saying, “Contact Danny and tell him to rendezvous at the foot of the mountain.”

“Yes, Young Master Griffith.”

Then Alexander looked at Elise and said, “I’ll carry you down.”

He was not asking Elise’s opinion but rather only informing her, but Elise hastily refused. “No need for that. I can walk by myself.”

However, Alexander did not give her a chance to refuse. Instead, he squatted down in front of her.

Elise hesitated for a moment before climbing on Alexander’s back. Then, Alexander carried her down the mountain. It was the first time she was carried by a man like this, so a strange feeling surfaced in her heart, as if she was a deer caught in the headlights.

Elise, what are you thinking? Retract those thoughts of yours!

Chiding herself in her heart, Elise allowed Alexander to carry her along the

 

mountain path all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Soon, he safely brought her back to the Griffith Residence, where Elise’s accident had already alarmed Jonah. Fortunately, Elise had already been found, but the elderly man had been waiting in the hall all this time until Elise returned.

“Ellie, you are back. How are you? Nothing serious, right?” Jonah asked with concern as soon as he saw Elise.

“Grandpa Griffith, I’m fine! All thanks to Alexander.”

Jonah’s eyes darkened. “Who is it that’s brave enough to mess with one of the Griffiths?! Alex, you must find out for me. This matter will not be tolerated.”

“Yes, Grandpa. I will have someone look into it,” Alexander said with a serious face.

“Well, you have worked hard today, so go back to rest early,” Jonah said and looked at Elise. “Ellie, sorry that you’ve been frightened by all this, but don’t you worry. I will definitely get you justice.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Griffith!” Initially, Elise did not want the Griffith Family to interfere.

This is my own issue after all. But! No matter who they are, I will not let them go! Never in a million years!

After Elise returned to her room and locked the door behind her, she contacted Jamie.

“Boss, are you okay?’

Haha! I bet that woman is locked up in a hut on some mountain right now!

Rita looked as if she had found a life-saving chance and hastily asked, “What is it? As long as you let me go, I will do anything.”

So, Elise leaned forward and whispered something in her ear.

In the afternoon, Rita went to school as usual, and the first thing she did when she arrived at school was to return the bracelet Jasmine gave her. “Jasmine, this bracelet is too worthless. It’s not worth my effort!”

Jasmine looked at the bracelet with some surprise and raised her eyes to look at Rita coldly. “What’s wrong? You think it’s too cheap? This is the bracelet my father spent tens of thousands abroad to buy for me, and now it can be worth a lot of money, even in antique stores, right?”

 

Without answering Jasmine’s question, Rita coldly snorted. “I have done such a difficult task for you, but you only give such a little thing to me. Are you serious? I don’t care; you have to give me more money. Otherwise, I will tell the whole world about what you did.”

Jasmine did not expect Rita to threaten her with this matter, so she silently clenched her fists, “Rita, I’ve never expected you to actually do this to me. You’re so good at pretensions before.”

“Oh, just say whether you’ll give it to me or not! I want 100,000, and it must be given to me within today, or…”

Rita was blunt enough she just wanted money. If it were before, Jasmine would not care about such little money as 100,000, but now, her family had suffered a major change, and her father had given her much less pocket money. Therefore, she now relied on selling bags and jewelry to maintain her luxurious life.

Where can I get 100,000 for Rita? “I don’t have that much money.”

As expected, Rita didn’t buy her excuse. “Who are you kidding?! Everyone in the class knows that you have hundreds of thousands of pocket money a month. I just want 100,000; it’s not too much. If you honestly do not want to give it to me, it doesn’t matter. What’s the big deal? I’ll just go to the police to tell them everything, and I suppose you’ll just end up in prison.”

“You b*tch!” Jasmine was furious, but now that Rita was blackmailing her, she had no choice but to grit her teeth. “Okay. 100,000, right? I can give it to you, but how do you guarantee you won’t come after me after taking this money?”
