Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 373
Chapter 373
Amelia stood there and stared patronizingly at Alexander. With a contemptuous look on her face, shecommented, “I gave you a chance but you refused it, so today’s outcome is all of your own doing.” ”Areyou so sure that you’ll win by just currying favors with a couple of bankers?” Elise lifted her left eyebrowand shot Amelia a meaningful look. “A couple of bankers?” Amelia scoffed, “You’re quite full of yourself,aren’t you? Do you realize the amount of cash flow that can be approved by one single banker?
The loan approved for the Olson Family by any of them would be sufficient to bring the Griffiths down totheir knees if I directed the money into the share market.” “Well, a loan has to be repaid eventually,”Elise retorted. Her gaze flickered and there seemed to be an unexplainable glimmer in her eyes as herwhole body exuded coldness. “It would be repaid for sure!” Amelia had been targeting the Griffiths overthe last couple of days in the stock exchange market, which was why the latter were in a losing positionat the moment. As such, Amelia was full of arrogance and she paid no heed to anyone else. With ahalf-smile, she continued, “Well, it would not be using our family’s money but your future family—theGriffith’s—money.”
“Mrs. Shoal, your plan is quite well thought out indeed.” Even Alexander couldn’t help but voice outmockingly. “Thanks for the compliment.” Amelia accepted his words and was lost in thought. Suddenly,she muttered to herself, “Everyone seems to think that you’re god’s gift to the world and the whizz inthe corporate world, but look at yourself right now. You’re not even a match for a mere woman like me.”As soon as she said that, she moved forward and patted Alexander on the shoulder. “Dear nephew,your worst mistake was to force us into the brink of desperation.
After all, one would definitely scramble to save themselves in a tight situation, so you should keep thislesson in mind. You might no longer be able to achieve such an exalted position and experience all ofthese competitive business dealings for the rest of your life!” Just then, Amelia purposely heaved asympathetic sigh and turned to speak to the bankers behind her with an exasperated tone, “Aren’t you
guys about to leave? Do you actually plan to stay on and discuss collaboration plans with Mr. Griffithand his fiancée?” “We’re leaving right now…” Amelia was currently Nathan’s favorite person and shecould even interfere in their overseas dealings, so they were afraid of offending her.
They had no choice but to handle her very carefully. “Mrs. Shoal, aren’t you afraid that calamity willbefall your future generations if you continue with your vicious actions?” Elise had a smile on her facebut it did not reach her eyes. Meanwhile, Amelia found Elise’s words quite perplexing, so the formermerely assumed that this was a final struggle and that the latter was merely trying to get back at herwith such words. As such, Amelia rolled her eyes and dismissed those words before walking off withouta backward glance. Meanwhile, Elise watched as the group walked off into the distance. Then, shetook out a clunky black-colored flip phone from her bag with a stony expression.
She typed out a message in code in front of Alexander and hit the send button soon after that. ”Did youtext someone?” Alexander glanced at the simple-looking cell phone and asked in surprise. “Yup.” Elisedidn’t say much. Subsequently, Alexander took a deep breath and raised both of his eyebrows. Shortlyafter that, he muttered sulkily, “Your phone… It looks quite special.” “Do you like it? I’ll get one for you.”Elise didn’t even bother to glance at him. At that point, she was quite focused on waiting for a replyfrom the other party. Just then, Alexander shrugged but didn’t respond to her words. In fact, hepreferred a sleeker and less clunky phone. I don’t even know how she can hold such a clunky phone inher dainty hands. On the other end, Nathan had a slightly exasperated smile on his face upon receivingthe text from A.
‘Here’s a question for you. What’s my favorite thing to do?” This was a piece of cake, so Nathanresponded instantly. ‘Stand someone up.’ A would contact him once or twice practically every year andwould usually mention making a trip to the mountains, but each time the trip didn’t materialize.Furthermore, there was an instance whereby Nathan had already arrived at the designated meetingplace but as it came to their meeting time, A didn’t turn up at all. Two days later, she sent him a textwith the following words as her explanation, ‘I’m not in the mood to meet.’ It was fortunate that A was a
whiz in stock operation. Otherwise, if anyone else had done the same thing, Nathan would definitelyhave slaughtered that person. Meanwhile, Elise saw the reply and she swiftly tapped out a reply.
‘I want the Olson Family to experience the torment you went through too.’ After replying to his text, sheswitched off her phone and placed it into her pocket before walking away holding onto Alexander’s arm.She behaved as if nothing had happened. As for Alexander, he didn’t ask her anything, but pacedhimself according to her footsteps and silently accompanied her. There were bound to be some secretsbetween them, but both of them had a mutual understanding of not delving too deep into it. Perhapssometimes having some boundaries would bring about more benefit. Meanwhile, Nathan, who wasseated in front of his computer, found himself seemingly at a loss for words.
Her words sound like a snub directed at me. Gosh! Who are you exactly, A?! I’m quite keen toknow! On the other hand, Amelia was halfway to her destination when she received a phone callinforming her that something had happened to Jeremy, so she rushed off to the hospital frantically.However, upon her arrival, she found a bunch of doctors who didn’t know what treatment to provideand a gang of hooligans who were beaten up badly. As for Jeremy, he remained unconscious in theward and he resembled someone in a vegetative state as he lay there immobile. Amelia instantlyrushed to his side and shook his body. “Jeremy? Jeremy! Say something to me! Mom’s here!” Jeremy’sconsulting doctor was afraid of delaying the prognosis, so he quickly moved forward and mentionedwith a concerned voice, “Mr. Olson’s condition seems quite strange.
There’s no obvious wound on his body and we haven’t detected any form of substance that couldtranquilize him. However, for some reason, he seems to be in an unconscious state. Honestly, we haveno idea how to proceed with the treatment.” “What do you mean that you don’t know how to proceed?!You’re a doctor! How can you say such things?” Amelia pointed a finger at the doctor and ranted, “Itlooks like you guys are not good enough and this is just an excuse to make you look good. I’m warningall of you right now—you’d better make sure that Jeremy remains fine until I replace the best doctor to treathim!
Otherwise, the whole hospital will bear the consequences!” At that point, everyone in and outside of theroom held their breaths anxiously. Two hours later, Amelia spent a fortune and managed to gather all ofthe top specialists in each specialty located in Tissote to come together and treat Jeremy. However,everyone shook their heads upon receiving the diagnostics and expressed their regret that they hadnever encountered such a condition, so there was nothing they could do about it. One of the oldestprofessors mentioned something to Amelia before he left, “You might need to get to the root of theproblem, Mrs. Shoal.
I think you should replace out whether Mr. Olson has offended anyone lately.” He heaved a sigh aftersaying that and turned to leave the room. Meanwhile, Amelia was stunned in place for quite some timebefore she finally came to her senses. After calming down, she turned to stare viciously at Jeremy’sunderlings. “Tell me—who did this to him?” “It was… Alexander and his fiancée. Mr. Olson asked us toteach them a lesson, but he insisted on taking action personally and none of us could stop him from it.Then, once we arrived, he was ambushed by the girl.
Before they left, she used her needles to poke Mr. Olson in his head. By the time we got to him, he hadalready lost consciousness.” “Elise?” Amelia was quite surprised. “Are you pulling my leg?” She’s just acountry bumpkin who relied on the Griffith Family to get to her current position! How could she evenknow how to turn an alive and kicking person into such a vegetative state?
