Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 910

Chapter 910 You Don’t Really Understand Your Father

Noah balled up his fists and gritted his teeth. His knuckles cracked as he exerted more force with his hands.

“I said it’s something I did in private, and it has nothing to do with my father. Moreover, I was just looking for the competition’s proposal. It was supposed to be handed to my father a long time ago, but you’ve repeatedly refused to give it to him. That’s why he was taken to task by a higher-up. I had no choice but to do such a thing!”

Alexander dipped his head. “Your father has a great son. Unfortunately, he’s not a good father.”

“You have no right to judge whether he’s a good father. At the very least, he has earned my respect in other aspects.” Although there were some conflicts between Noah and his father, he always respected the latter.

“Would a good father tell his son to steal something from someone’s home? I’ve learned something new,” Alexander mocked him in a weird tone.

“How many times do I have to repeat myself? Can you stop slandering him? This was my idea. If my father isn’t a responsible person, would he suffer from insomnia because of what you’ve done? Stop acting high and mighty here when you’re in the wrong, Alexander!” Noah became increasingly agitated.

Alexander’s lips twisted into a sneer. “It seems that you don’t really understand your father, Mr. Adaway.”

“What do you mean by that?” Noah felt that something was off, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

“Nothing.” Alexander waved his hand. “You can leave now. I’ll pretend that nothing happened today.”

“For real?” Noah couldn’t believe that this man, whom even his father found hard to deal with, would let him off easily.

“Perhaps I’ll change my mind in a second. Do you want to find out how much patience I’m left with?” Alexander arched his brow and shot him a warning with his gaze.

After giving it some thought, Noah turned around and ran away.

“Are you letting him go just like this?” Meanwhile, Elise felt that they had let him off the hook too easily.

“Just consider it repayment for saving Lexi. Raffle’s son is not a fundamentally bad person, you know,” Alexander explained.

“He’s obviously more foolish than his father.” Elise waved the work permit in her hand. This kind of false evidence that could be exposed easily was like a time bomb in the business world.

Alexander let her sit on his lap and wrapped his arms around her. “So, we’ll gain some advantage by letting him go.”

Without refuting him, Elise shrugged.

…

The next day, at a high-end cafe in Tissote, Prince Caleb was seated in a private room while enjoying a cup of aromatic coffee.

A moment later, a masculine voice was heard saying above his head, “Nice to meet you again, Prince Caleb.”

Prince Caleb put down the coffee and was ready to rise from the chair to greet the person. However, the moment he lifted his head and made out the person’s face, his smile faded.

“Why are you here, Mr. Alexander? My guest will be arriving at any moment, so I’m worried I do not have time to have a chat with you.” Prince Caleb intended to dismiss him.

After what Margaret had done previously, the relationship between them had become awkward. More importantly, Prince Caleb had stopped hiding his hostility toward the designers from Cittadel, so he refused to come into contact with the Griffith Family again.

Instead of getting furious, Alexander put on a smile. “Are you waiting for the designer you met online?”

“How do you know that?” Prince Caleb became nervous. “What did you do to him?”

“Got it. I’ll go back now.”

The moment Alexander hung up the call, he received a call from Raffle.

“How is it going, President Griffith? I heard that the authorities have taken action. Are you alright?” Raffle asked with feint concern.

“You called at the right time,” Alexander replied impassively.

“Well, this can’t be helped. You’re in charge of an important project that I’m handling. I care about outstanding entrepreneurs like you. Now that the authorities are in your company, it must have a huge impact on you. Have you come up with a solution, President Griffith?”

“Haven’t you called to give me the solution?” Alexander went straight to the point.

“Haha. I love how straightforward you are. Yes, I do have a solution, but first of all, you have to hand in the proposal as promised. When the higher-ups understand that you’re a talented person, it’ll be easier for me to smooth things over. Don’t you agree?”

Alexander didn’t reply to him at once. He stood there in silence and fell into his thoughts.

Businessmen were most afraid of authorities coming to knock on their doors. Now that Alexander’s company was under the authorities’ inspection, it was obvious that Raffle was the mastermind behind it. He was trying to mount pressure on Alexander and force him to hand in the proposal.

However, it was no different from exposing the work for the competition if Alexander gave him the proposal now. If Raffle and Wendy joined forces and did anything shady, his effort throughout this while would go to waste.

After pondering on it for a moment, Alexander decided to do something drastic.

He directly hung up on Raffle and called his assistant. “Just cooperate with the authorities. Also, tell the employees who are not affected by the inspection to stop working right now. They’ll be given paid leave.”
