Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778 Love a Goody Two Shoes Like You?

“That reminds me.” Something seemed to have hit Benjamin as he lifted his head back up, looking stern. “You’re not still with that guy you brought home last time, are you?”

Benjamin was referring to Anastasia’s first love, the culprit who worked with Adelpha to kill Anastasia.

“Of course not,” Elise affirmed. “You can rest assured that I’ve already pulled back from the brink, Grandpa. I won’t make the same mistake again after knowing just what sort of a man he is.”

“You’ve finally come around.” Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief. “Anyhow, I just have one demand for the man you choose: anyone but a heartless rat like your father. Do you hear me?”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. He’s really reliable and unlike most men.” Elise had Alexander in mind when she spoke.

“You still have to bring him over some other day and let your uncles and I take a look. You’re still socially inexperienced, after all. I worry you’ll fall for another man’s tricks,” Benjamin appealed.

“I will, Grandpa…”

Meanwhile, in the garden, Jamie showed up late for the party. As he barely knew anyone here, he went straight to a less crowded spot after grabbing a glass of champagne.

Finally, after finding an empty area with an open view, he stopped wandering and took a sip of the champagne while drifting his wary gaze across the guests.

Though the Kellers had some influences within Tissote, they had never involved themselves in the literary world. He honestly couldn’t understand why the literary legend would invite him over when they had no connections whatsoever.

In the spirit of another friend, another hand, he put off a meeting at the last minute and rushed over, planning on leaving after he said hi to the elder later.

Just then, he heard a woman cussing angrily behind him. “F*ck you, Anastasia White! Why can’t you just rot in hell, you b*tch?!”

Who’s that?! Who the hell dares cuss Anastasia like that on such an occasion?! Jamie walked in the direction the sound came from and bypassed a rose bush half his height to find a young woman in a lolita dress kicking the patch of lawn beneath her begrudgingly.

Under her ravaging, the dainty flowers drooped weakly, already beyond salvage.

How could he allow someone already so wicked at such a young age to continue behaving so savagely?!

With that, he switched on the recording function on his phone and put it back into his pocket before approaching the young woman. “Say, miss, you have a problem with Anastasia White too?”

“Mind your own f—” Adelpha snapped in a fit of rage but stopped immediately when she realized it was a handsome young man talking to her. With that, she quickly fixed her dress and stood like a sweet, defenseless girl.

“Sorry. I’ve startled you, haven’t I? I’m not usually like this.” Adelpha tucked a lock of errant hair behind her ear, looking all abashed.

Though this young woman gave him goosebumps, he still held on tenaciously, chuckling awkwardly. “Haha, I can tell. Let’s come back to the topic. I heard you cussing White just now. Do you guys have some sort of grudge too?”

“Why would you say ‘too’?” Adelpha asked.

Adelpha’s face turned ashen at once, and she pounced on Jamie to snatch the phone. “Give me the phone, give me!”

“Woah.” Jamie raised his arm at once and grimly warned, “Stay right there!”

The young woman could only stomp her feet as she wasn’t tall enough to reach the phone. “What will it take for you to delete the recording?”

“Nothing you offer can make me delete it. Remember I have leverage over you. So if you ever dare to backbite Anastasia again, I’ll let the whole world know just what sort of a person you are!”

Jamie was gravely serious, and an intensely suppressing aura exuded from his eyes, forcing Adelpha to look away mutely, not daring to speak up.

“Do you think I’m joking with you?” The man put his phone away with narrowed eyes and shoved his hands into his pockets while disclosing plainly, “I have proof of you hiring people to screw up Anastasia’s book signing. Huh, I wonder how many years the court will sentence you for slandering and disrupting public order.”

Adelpha was rendered utterly dumbfounded, for never had she thought some random guy would have two dirty things on her at Benjamin’s birthday party.

Can this day get any worse?!

Fed up with wasting his time on the young woman, Jamie shot her a disdainful glance and walked away.

Coincidentally, Benjamin had returned to the party, and Jamie got another glass of liquor, going up to the elder.
