Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 1005
Chapter 1005
"Are you serious about this, Boss?" Raymond was delighted.
"When have I ever joked about something like this?" As Alexander spoke, he leaned against thecouch, acting nonchalant.
When Elise heard his words, she laughed and asked, "Are you going to make the best out of amistake?"
"You know me well, wifey," Alexander admitted without hesitation. "To be honest, the relationshipbetween Smith Co. and the Hellens is already on the brink of ice. Now that we've caused such ascene, Stenson wouldn't forgive us even if we were to apologize. If that's the case, why not just gofor it?"
"You are so smart, Boss. We have to let them know that we can't be easily messed with!" AsRaymond spoke, his body was trembling with excitement.
In the meantime, the Hellen Family held a meeting. A group of people sat in the dim room as theypressured Stenson.
"Don't act like a fool! They've already singled you out and asked you to return the person!"
"I have already told you not to mess with them. Why won't you listen? Now that they have ruinedour place, who will be responsible for the huge loss?"
"Just do your best and don't try to bite off more than you can chew. If you can't handle this, youshould have just let someone else take over!”
Each of the Hellen Family's members blamed Stenson for causing them trouble.
The more Stenson heard them nag, he couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his fists against thetable. "Are you guys done? If anyone has anything to say, just step up!" He barked.
After he finished his words, the room fell into silence. After all, blaming Stenson in a group wasdifferent from calling him out individually. They knew he was a cruel man, so none of them wantedto stand out.
Stenson looked at them and said, "This is a rare opportunity for you guys. If you decide not to sayanything now, you'd better not in the future. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!"
The crowd lowered their heads and kept quiet. However, they were unhappy with his words.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. "You can't say such a thing. We let you become theleader because we trusted you and believed you would bring wealth to the family. However, you didnot earn any profit and even lost a huge amount of money. Isn't it normal for us to be upset andwant an explanation?”
The spokesperson was Matthias, Stenson's cousin. Although he was five years younger thanStenson, he was as cruel as him. Matthias had always been ambitious and wanted to take over thethrone, so he would always cause trouble for Stenson. Now that Stenson had brought trouble to thefamily, he would take this opportunity to seize him.
When Stenson heard his words, he looked at Matthias coldly and said, "Upset? I don't think anyoneis upset except for you. You want an explanation, right? I'll give it to you. The casino has lost sevenhundred million, and I will pay for it. Are you guys happy now?"
Although no one uttered a word, their expressions softened. As the saying went, one had to playboth ends against the middle. They weren't dumb and knew what was happening clearly; as long asthey weren't the ones in the spotlight, they would not suffer any losses.
"Seven hundred million? I don't think so. After all, those antiques from Cittadel are priceless.”Matthias insisted on the matter.
When Stenson heard his words, he was furious. He gritted his teeth and slammed his hands againstthe table. "I'll get those antiques back. If I can't, I'll kill myself! There! Are you happy now?!"
"Why are you being so emotional, Stenson? I'm just saying it as it is. It's fine as long as you knowhow important those things are. If you can't get it back, just apologize to us. We'll understand. Afterall, we can't possibly kill you, can we?" Matthias mocked him. "Alright now, let's go. I think Stensonneeds some alone time.” With that, everyone left in a hurry.
In an instant, the crowded room was empty.
When everyone was gone, Stenson swiped everything on the table off the ground and scratched hisface. "Who is the person that Alexander wants?"
"Boss! Don't scratch yourself! Your face is already ruined!”
"Get out!”
One of his men courteously reminded him, but Stenson flipped him off.
At this moment, another one of his men rushed into the room and said hastily, "We got him, Boss!Those two at the street race are on Alexander's side!"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely! I had a feeling they probably knew each other since they're all Cittadelians. After Ilooked into it, I realized I was right!”
"You did good!" Stenson patted his subordinate’s shoulder in satisfaction. Then, he turned aroundand propped himself as he put his hands on the table. "First, I couldn't get the sponsorship becauseof them. Now, they ruined my place and stole seven hundred million! I will make Alexander pay forthese!"
On the other hand, Jamie and Narissa were severely injured, so they asked Elise to help them rent ahouse near Griffith Manor. After all, they didn’t want to let their families worry about them.Although Elise had asked the servants to prepare two rooms, one was unused since the couple slepttogether.
Since Narissa was severely injured, Elise had been making broth for her to recover.
"I have made some chicken broth for you. Drink up.” After Elise had handed the broth to Narissa,she poked her bandage. "That's strange. Why aren't your wounds healing when I have been makingfood for you? Some of your wounds are still bleeding. Is it infected? I'll have to call Zephyr and takea look."
"It's fine, El. I'm... I'm fine,” Narissa said slowly, exchanging glances with Jamie while she smiled.When Elise saw their interactions, she squinted and saw that Narissa had hickeys on her neck. Sincethey were all adults, she knew where Narissa had gotten it from. At that moment, she becamespeechless and thought, Narissa's wounds won't be getting any better if they keep fondling eachother under the same roof.
As she thought about it, she said sternly, "I'm warning you, Jamie. You'd better not harass Narissabefore she recovers. Stay in your room at night and stop coming over!"
Hearing her words, Jamie nodded without hesitation. "Don’t worry. I won't come again tonight.”Then, he exchanged glances with Narissa.
He promised Elise not to come over at night, but he didn't say anything about meeting her duringthe daytime. Since Jamie and Narissa were the only two people in this house, it wouldn't matter ifthey did it during the day or at night. After all, as soon as men felt the rush of ecstasy, they wouldbe like rabbits in heat.
However, Elise's words shattered his dream. "No. For precautions, it'll be better if you guys liveseparately.” Before the duo could refuse, she immediately shouted at the door and instructed,"Raymond! Rent the house next to this and let Jamie stay there for the time being!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!" Raymond was a man of action. Inmediately, he took his phone out andcontacted the landlord.
"You're cruel, Boss!" Jamie said exasperatedly.
"Damn it!" Elise rolled her eyes. "Do you know how to cherish a woman? Are you willing to seeNarissa's wounds not healing? As a man, you have to control yourself."
"Alright. I'll do this for the sake of Narissa..." Since he couldn't decide on this matter, he could onlyagree to Elise's words.
