Coolest Girl in Town, Chapter 417 Her Life, Worthless

Elise thought Joseph was under someone's control, but she never thought he'd be in such a dire situation. She looked at him, but she felt no signs of life. "Is he dead?" she asked solemnly.

She hid her feelings well, but Alexander could still tell that she and Joseph shared a deep bond. It was the first time Elise showed so much care to another man in front of him. For some reason, it felt like someone was squeezing his heart, and he felt frustrated. "There's no reason for anyone to take his body away," he said calmly. "The coffin has a temperature control mechanism built in, and he has ample oxygen supply. He's just in a fake death state."

Elise nodded and went up to open the coffin. When she performed a quick check, she realized Joseph's condition was far worse than she imagined. The tendons in his limbs were broken, and he was in a coma because of some substance in his body. He seemed fine, but she knew he was a hair's breadth away from death. She didn't know what kind of substance was in his body, but she knew he had to have a surgery performed on him as soon as possible.

Then, she called Claude right in front of Alexander. "You have to come back right now," she said solemnly. "Joseph's in trouble, and he needs a surgeon. You're the man for the job."

"Wait, what? Joseph? But that's impossible. He was still talking to me before you called," Claude blabbered quickly.

A frown appeared on her head. "You have to move right now. You're exposed."

"Slow down. What are you talking about? First you say Joseph's in trouble, and now you say he leaked my location? Can you give me a second to process things?"

"No. Just run. I'll send you a safe route in a second. Use that to come back right now." Elise hung up and immersed herself in her own thoughts.

Joseph is SK's top brass and the most trusted, reputable man in the group. He also has the highest security clearance. It's hard to believe that he's in trouble, and he sold out his group's members. However, things had already gone out of control, so all Elise could do was try to save him and cut their losses. Believe it or not, it's up to them. "Do you have a laptop somewhere?" She looked at Alexander.

"It's in my room," he replied calmly.

"I need to use it." She went toward his room.

As expected, a few groups of people had locked in on Claude's location. The nearest enemy was only a hundred yards away from him. He's going to get caught at this rate. She clacked away at the keyboard and attacked the enemy's tracking software. Once she destroyed it, she quickly hid Claude's signal. A moment later, Claude's signal was already some distance away from the enemies'.

Five minutes later, he called Elise. "Oh my god, Father. You were right. I almost got caught. Who's the enemy? How did they hack us, dammit?" Claude cursed. Holy motherf*cking sh*t. I almost lost some good meds.

"I don't know just yet," she said calmly. "The longer you are outside, the more dangerous it becomes for you. I'll get a chopper to pick you up. Then you'll go to the airport and come back on a jet."

"Sure. You do your stuff. As long as I get to keep my meds, I'll do anything you ask," Claude said happily.

Elise hung up.

Alexander waited for a moment longer and only came in after she put her phone down.

However, it was as if Elise didn't even notice him. She kept her eyes on the screen and didn't even look at him, as if he was nothing but air.

Alexander frowned. He regretted taking that coffin back, since it only made Elise ignore him. When Elise stopped working, he finally asked her, "Is that your friend?"

"Yes," Elise answered calmly.

"Are you good friends?" he asked again.

"Yes," she answered without even hesitating. "He saved my life before."

"Hm?" Alexander arched his eyebrow, and a thought raced in his mind. Since he saved her life, does that mean she has to marry him as payment?

"I don't want to talk about my past." Elise didn't plan on elaborating, but she said, "I'm going to keep him safe, but it's going to land me in a whole world of danger and offend a lot of parties. I don't want to trouble you, so you have two options. You move somewhere else, or I take him away with me." Alexander took a deep breath. He was starting to have mixed feelings about the matter. Did he really only save her life before? "Don't you have anything else to say?" Alexander looked at her, then he squinted with slight excitement.

"No. That will be all for now." Elise didn't even look up.

Alexander's eyes dimmed, and he said coldly, "Never thought you were such a coward." Frustrated, he went out of the room and slammed the door shut, causing a loud bang.

Elise looked at the door that was slammed shut, but she was confused. What happened?

However, her train of thoughts was broken by a message from 'Joseph.'

'You'd better hide. My men will be there soon.'

Elise squinted. He's more daring than I thought. Already exposing his identity and issuing me a challenge so openly even before he got his hostage? Well, now that he's already here, there's no reason for me to back down. She replied quickly, 'Welcome.' I will make sure those who attack my friends pay for their crimes.

She tried to send a message in SK Group's global channel, but as expected, she and Claude were banned from texting. Everyone there was bashing them for betraying the group, though it was apparent that this was the result of the usurper's brainwashing. One of the messages read, 'I offer a two hundred million bounty for anyone who can kill Eliza.' When Elise saw that, she chuckled and turned the laptop off.

Eliza was the name she used in SK Group. So I'm only worth two hundred million to them?
