Chapter 143,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise couldn’t help but ask, ‘Did something happen today? You don’t seem too well.’ Alexander staredat the band-aid around his finger as he replied, ‘It’s nothing. It’s just that you suddenly seem a lot like afriend of mine.’ Elise’s heart shuddered. She almost immediately assumed that Alexander was trying toexpose her identity, but she was also quite certain that her disguise was flawless, and that he wouldn’thave seen through it so easily. ‘Am I? In what way are we similar?’

A slight frown formed between his brows. He felt ridiculous all of a sudden; Sare and Elise were clearlytwo different people, so how did he end up linking the two of them together? ‘It’s nothing. I’m probablyjust overthinking it.’ Elise let out a breath of relief. ‘Since you’re not feeling the best, let’s postpone ourlesson.’ Alexander didn’t reject her suggestion. He replied with an ‘OK’ emoji and went offline rightafter. On the other end, Elise stared at the darkened profile icon of the man, and her subconsciouspictured the figure of Alexander at this moment as he sat in his room.

Her lips curved into a sweet smile. The next morning, Jack was quietly waiting downstairs. When therewas still no sign of Elise after some time, he called out, “What are you doing, Elise? You’ll be late if wedon’t leave soon!” Elise finally came downstairs in a rush. She had trouble falling asleep last night anddidn’t doze off until past midnight, which was precisely why she’d woken up late today. “I’m coming!”Elise got into the car in a hurry and Jack immediately drove away.

He seemed to be in quite a good mood today and was humming his new song all the way to school.“Elise,” Jack suddenly called her name. She looked up and asked, “Yeah?” Jack studied her face for amoment before he finally let out his question. “You and my brother… Is there anything going onbetween you guys?” Elise blinked stiffly. She was unsure why he’d ask such a question, but she

instinctively denied his claim nonetheless. “Like what?” Jack thought that she didn’t understand whathe meant, so he tried again and asked, “Tell me honestly, Elise. Have you fallen for Alexander?”

Elise let out a light cough to mask her true feelings. She quickly averted her eyes and answered as shestared out the window, “Nonsense.” Jack was obviously unconvinced. “Are you sure? Why do I feel likethere’s something unusual going on between you two?” For instance, Alexander would take her alongeven when he hung out with his brothers. Also, the condescending air around Alexander which couldbe sensed from miles away would disappear without a trace whenever he was with Elise. “What areyou talking about? There’s nothing unusual going on between us!

Stop imagining things and focus on your new song.” Jack stopped probing since Elise was visiblyupset. Regarding his new song, the music and lyrics that were both composed and written by H wasamazing. The song wouldn’t have blown up the way it did if it wasn’t for H. In fact, he wanted topersonally pay his thanks to H, but he couldn’t contact them no matter what; even Noel couldn’t helphim secure an appointment with H. “Forget it. I won’t ask anymore if you don’t want to tell me. Youknow what, though, Elise? You should make your move soon if you really are interested in him.

After all, it’s not easy to bag a man as brilliant as Alexander.” If he got it right and Elise had really fallenfor Alexander, it’d be great if she ended up as their sister-in-law. After getting along with her for sometime, he’d found Elise to be a lot less of a nuisance compared to when they first met. She was insteadan easygoing and approachable person who could be naturally casual with each of the brothers; shewas never too over the top with flattering them or putting up a cold front.

Most importantly, he could feel that Alexander treated Elise rather differently. “Since you have time topry into someone else’s privacy, why don’t you think about your own life?” With those parting words,Elise opened the door and got down from the car. Jack watched her furthering figure and muttered

under his breath, “What’s wrong with my life? I’m doing fine, except I don’t have a girlfriend…” His heartached a little. Was she roasting me for being single?

Nonetheless, he brushed it off with a scoff and didn’t think much of it before he started his car and spedoff. At that moment, though, his phone rang. He reached out and tried to retrieve his phone from thepassenger seat, but he accidentally dropped it underneath. Thus, he hastily bent down to pick up hisphone. Just then, a loud bang sounded in the air and he slammed on the brakes immediately. Theinertia sent his body crashing forward, and his head knocked into the windshield.

It was then that Jack noticed a person lying on the ground. He panicked and scurried down from his carat once. “Are you okay? You good?” However, when he realized who the victim was, he wasstunned. Isn’t this the girl who’s always with Elise? “Hey, are you okay? Wake up.” But Mikayla simplylay motionlessly in Jack’s arms. He didn’t have time for much consideration and carried her straight intohis car and gave Ronald a call as he rushed to the hospital.

“I hit someone, Ronald. I’m on the way to the community hospital…” Ronald was stunned when heheard those words. “You’re okay, right?” Jack quickly replied, “I’m fine, but she got hurt pretty bad.”“Okay, listen to me—don’t panic. I’ll be there right away. Be careful and don’t let the paparazzi catchany of this” Jack hung up and stepped on the gas all the way. At the hospital, the doctor came up tothem and quickly pushed Mikayla into the operating theater.

Jack stood outside and waited as he panted for air. Before long, Ronald came rushing up to him.“How’s things? How’s the person doing?” Jack replied, “She’s still in the operating theater.” Ronalddidn’t care much about that, though. “This can never get out no matter what. We’ll have to impose amedia blackout at once. Listen up, you leave ahead. I’ll take care of things here” “But…” “Come on, nobuts. Please, Jack, don’t forget who you are.

It’ll be messy if the media gets a hold of this.” Ronald spoke in a rushed manner as he whipped out hisphone to call the driver. “Come over to the back door. Jack will be waiting for you there.” Then, he hungup and made Jack leave in a hurry. Even though Jack felt quite helpless, he could only leave for thesake of preserving his reputation. Jack returned to the company, but his mind was obviouslysomewhere else.

Just as he approached the elevator, Charlene, who was heading in his direction with a smile, gave hima warm greeting. “Jack!” Jack nodded absent-mindedly and walked past her with a poker face beforestepping into the elevator. The smile on Charlene’s face froze in an instant. Jack had never taken herseriously; no matter how many times she’d tried to cozy up to him, he’d brush her off like she wasnothing.

“Your phone’s ringing, Charlene,” her assistant said in a low voice when she saw the unhappy look onher boss’ face. Charlene took the phone and put it to her ear. After hearing what the caller had to say,the look in her eyes darkened. “You didn’t replace anything? How’s that possible?”
