Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646 She Wants to Die!

As soon as those words came out, Alexander walked over from afar. He asked faintly, “What are you guys talking about?”

“Nothing!” Elise hurriedly said. “We were just talking about the exam.”

His eyes dimmed slightly. Ellie is hiding something from me, after all. However, he still pretended to be calm and asked, “Did you do well on the exam?”

“I did my best,” she replied. “I’m done here. Let’s go.”

She was worried that Sheldon and Elliot might talk nonsense in front of Alexander, so she quickly took the lead and left, and Alexander followed behind her.

When they got into the car, he handed a document to her.

“As you guess, Raul Mckay and Keira Collins are not cousins. They are lovers. After Keira was diagnosed with cancer, they separated for five years. During this period, Raul never engaged in another relationship. It wasn’t until he saw the news about Keira suffering from food poisoning online that he came to visit her at the hospital.” He explained.

“So, they are a pair of star-crossed lovers,” she said expressionlessly.

“Yes.” He turned to look at her, and the look in his pitch-black eyes held complicated emotions, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

“Let’s go and have a private meeting with Raul first.” Then, she made a decisive decision.

“Okay.” He immediately started the engine and drove off.

Unfortunately, Raul also coincidentally happened to be a chef at a five-star restaurant.

Elise and Alexander arrived at the restaurant where Raul worked and ordered a whole table full of Keira’s favorite dishes. They asked the waiter to summon the head chef when all the dishes were served.

Raul was slightly surprised to see them. Even so, he maintained basic professional etiquette and greeted them good-naturedly. “Sir, Madame, do you have any comments on my dishes?”

“I heard that you were just a normal chef five years ago, Mr. Mckay. Do you have a secret for becoming domestically and internationally famous in a short time?” Elise asked casually.

“Cooking is similar to life itself. God rewards hard work. As long as a person is hardworking enough, anybody will have the chance to become a better version of themselves.” Raul stood with his hands behind his back and provided an extremely professional answer. He gave off the feeling that he was using his professionalism to keep them at a distance.

“Wow! That’s truly inspirational.” She nodded meaningfully and abruptly changed the subject. “Indeed, hard work always pays off, but the truth is that not everybody will get the opportunity to work hard. Isn’t that right, Mr. Mckay?”

“I don’t understand what you mean, Miss.” He looked at her confused, but a niggling feeling of doubt suddenly emerged in his heart.

Needless to say, he recognized Alexander and Elise. He also knew that the motives behind the appearance of these two could not be pure. However, he was just a chef. He was not good at anything else besides working with food, so he could not understand the hidden meaning behind their words.

By the time Elise and Alexander caught up to Raul, he was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall. His expression was pained and conflicted—he looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown.

She took out a tissue, handed it to him, and then murmured, “If you love her, you should know what’s best for her.”

“It’s useless.” Then, he used both hands to cover his forehead and conceal his face and shook his head vigorously. “Kiki doesn’t want to live. She wants to die. Nobody can stop her…”

The probability of cancer recurrence was so small that it was only one in tens of millions of people. However, Keira was that one person out of tens of millions of people.

She had been cured once, but her cancer came back again in such a short time. The roller-coaster ride had destroyed her will. Therefore, the possibility of getting cured no longer brought her any joy. She did not wish to go through another bout of great sorrow and joy again. So, instead of dragging the people around her down day by day, she decided that she might as well take the money to give them a more comfortable life afterward. Even if doing this would take her life, she would not feel as though she owed them too much in her heart.

“Is there somebody threatening you in the shadows?” Elise asked suspiciously.

“No! There’s nobody!” Raul shouted emotionally. “Kiki is a good person! She is the best woman in the world!”

“A good woman? Will a good woman blackmail others for 10 million without reason? My mistake, it’s not just 10 million. It’s the entire Griffith Food Co.” Her expression was frosty. “Frankly, we can afford to pay the 10 million. However, we cannot suffer this grievance. If you don’t tell us the truth, we will simply use this money to ask the media to reveal the order receipt and the surveillance video on the day of the incident. What do you think will happen to Keira?”

“You can’t!” He got up from the ground and rushed toward her in agitation.

Alexander quickly stood in front of Elise and separated them.
