Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679 Betrayal after Betrayal

Garreth could tolerate the rest of the groundless accusations that the reporters made, but he wouldn’t allow them to insult Elise. He had always held a gentle and warm image in public, so the reporters were shocked to see him lose his temper. Everyone was silent for a moment, and the only noise around them was the cameras clicking.

Soon enough, the reporters returned to their senses before repeating the few questions they had earlier. Garreth had to clench his jaw to keep his mouth shut. At the same time, a gold BMW came to a halt at the backdoor of the villa. Mr. Harold stepped out of the car and sneaked into the mansion before the vehicle sped off. After that, everything returned to normal—it was as if nothing had happened at all.

When Garreth was about to give in and speak to the reporters, the villa’s doors opened again. Elise and Mr. Harold stepped out of the building gracefully. When the reporters saw them, they immediately shifted their attention toward Elise. Although Mr. Harold was dressed in branded logos from head to toe, and although he was clearly a wealthy man, he still received the least attention when he was placed beside Garreth and Elise.

“Miss Sinclair! What do you have to say about cohabiting with Garreth?!” Garreth frowned when she saw the microphones edging closer and closer to Elise’s face. He reached an arm out to block the reporters before he snapped at them. “Which company are you guys from? Don’t you guys know how to show basic respect for your interviewees? I’ll take your whole family down if you ever injure Elise!”

The reporters quickly held themselves back when they saw how Garreth had transformed from a sweet boy into a fierce beast. They quietly took a step back. However, some reporters who were slightly farther away continued to press on with their questions. “You guys have a really close relationship! Could you guys be getting married soon? Have you guys decided on a date?!” one of the reporters cried.

“You’ve always claimed to be single, Garreth. Have you thought about how your fans feel about this?” another one said.

“Are you guys showing up together to confirm that you guys are dating?!” one reporter asked.

“That’s enough!” Garreth cried in an agonized tone. “Does a man and a woman have to date each other just because they respect each other? Don’t you guys have a family—” He was halfway through his sentence when Elise gave him a subtle nudge with her elbow. She was telling him to calm down.

Garreth clenched his fists as he kept his mouth shut to avoid doing any further damage. The reporters had expected to get something out of Garreth, but their hopes were crushed when he stopped talking. They couldn’t help but feel disappointed at that moment.

Right then, Elise spread her lips into a smile. “I would like to thank all of you for attending this press conference tonight. It seems like Garreth, and I have a pretty strong influence when we’re put together as a pair,” she uttered.

“A press conference?” one reporter muttered.

“What press conference is she talking about? Do you know about it?” another reporter asked.

“Who am I supposed to ask if everyone here doesn’t know the answer?” one reporter mumbled. They all looked at each other with confused looks on their faces.

Once they were back in the villa, Garreth glanced at the crowd with a worried look on his face. “Is it really fine to leave him alone?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve taught him how to deal with all their questions. It’s going to be fine,” Elise uttered as she sat on the couch and poured two glasses of water for them. She placed one of the glasses on the table beside the sofa before taking a sip out of the other glass.

Garreth noticed her actions, so he walked over to the table and picked up the glass from the table. However, he didn’t drink it immediately. Instead, he was silent for a while before letting out a long sigh. “Thank you, Elise. I know Mr. Harold only paid for me because of you,” he uttered in a grateful tone as he gazed at her thoughtfully.

“What am I supposed to do when you’re so polite all the time?” Elise didn’t know how to respond, so she simply waved him off. “You don’t need to thank me. You’ve earned more than this amount of money for Blitzy Entertainment, so all you have to do from now on is continue working. You’ll pay us back someday,” she said.

“Okay! Don’t worry! I’m going to work really hard!” Garreth shouted firmly. However, he began to stutter again after a while. “Elise, there’s something else that… I’d like to ask for help…”

“What is it?” she asked generously.

“I want you to put in a good word with Mr. Harold to convince him to sign my other two team members. They have great potential and are just as skilled as I am. They shouldn’t continue to be bullied in Blitzy Entertainment,” Garreth said resolutely.
