Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 681

Chapter 681 The Enemy of My Enemy

“Hal” Elise burst out laughing from anger. “So, you do have a strong moral compass. But then, whatare you doing now? Do you think it's okay for you to barge into the home of a pair of newlyweds?”“Enough already,” Alexander interrupted, not giving Sofia a chance to speak. He then continuedwith a blank face, “You can go now.”

"Go? Go where?” Sofia asked, confused.

“Wherever you want as long as you're out of my home,” he calmly replied.

“You're kicking me out?” Her eyes widened with disbelief. “Alexander, can’t you see that I'm doingthis for your sake? Anyway, your mom hired me. How can you speak to me in that manner?”

"How should I be speaking to you then?” His eyes went glacial. “Should I put up a shrine andworship you? This is my house and my wife's home. Neither you nor my mother has any power here.I will not tolerate anyone who would insult my wife. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I don’twant to see your face here ever again.”

After he said that, he wrapped an arm around Elise and went upstairs with her, leaving Sofia aloneand staring at the backs of a loving couple.

Pride was carved deep into the bones of Sofia, so there was no way she'd accept being ignored likethat. After stomping her foot hard, she marched out the door.

Just who did that man think he was? She only ever acted subservient to him because she thoughthighly of him, but how dare he look down on her!

Well, she wouldn't be serving them anymore. They would regret this!

As she walked out of the area to the streets, she cursed and shouted at the couple. Then, she took ataxi and spent the night at the bars.

When she woke up the next morning, her vision spun so hard that she had to support her head withher hands. She couldn't help but feel angry with herself as she should not have acted so impulsively.First, she went home, cleaned up, and changed her clothes. Then, thinking that there wouldn't beanyone home at this time, she took a taxi back to Alexander and Sofia’s new residence.

However, as the taxi drew closer to the residence, she saw a young woman standing at theresidence gates and looking around.

The taxi soon pulled to a stop, and Sofia exited the vehicle. She strode over to the other woman andloftily asked in a manner more befitting to the residence owner, “Who are you looking for?”

"Who are you?” the other woman rudely shot back.

“I am the housekeeper here,” Sofia proudly stated.

“I see.” The other woman's gaze scanned Sofia from head to toe with eyes filled with scrutiny.Weirded out by how she was being studied, Sofia barked in a firmer tone, “If you don't tell me whoyou are, I'm going to get the guards to escort you away.”

It was only then that the woman haughtily said, “My name is Maya Dahlen, Alexander's god-sister.”God-sister?

Sofia studied Maya closely as she silently pondered on how much faith she should give thatstatement.

For one, Maya didn't dress like someone from a middle-class family.

As for her claim of being Alexander's god-sister, both women knew precisely what Maya meant bythat.

It was just a claim used to get Maya closer to Alexander.

Logically speaking, Maya was Sofia’s rival.

However, Elise was Sofia’s greatest enemy for now, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If she used Maya to destroy Alexander's relationship with Elise, she would be saving herself a lot ofwork.

A cunning gleam passed through Sofia’s bright eyes. Then, she smiled and made a welcominggesture to Maya, “This way, please, Miss Dahlen.”

Then, with scheme-filled minds, the two women entered the villa.

Meanwhile, Elise was taking a nap upstairs, ignorant of the presence of two pests in her home.

Sofia politely made some hot tea for Maya in the living room before sitting beside her.

“Surely you must be close to Mr. Griffith, Miss Dahlen?” Sofia tentatively asked.

"Are Alexander and Elise not home?” Maya replied without answering the question.

"Yes. Miss Sinclair should be in university right now, and Mr. Griffith at work. They're both busypeople,” Sofia immediately replied. Since she was new, she could only lie according to what she hadwitnessed over the past two days.

When Maya heard that, she instantly let out a sigh of relief. She relaxed so much that she evenbegan shaking her leg as she nonchalantly said, “Of course, I'm close to him. I am his mother's onlygoddaughter while he's her only son. Why wouldn't we be close? I would be Mrs. Griffith by now ifElise hadn't interfered.”

There was a mocking slant to Sofia’s smile when she heard that.

As if. This girl has quite the self-confidence. I'll give her that.

However, to amplify the animosity between Maya and Elise, Sofia went along with what was saiddespite her own wishes. “No wonder. I thought that you and Mr. Griffith would've been a perfectcouple. I see. So, that's what happened. What a pity. You two would've been great together.”

It was clear that statement had reminded Maya of something that upset her. Her eyes went dull asshe let out a long, disappointed sigh.

In Maya's eyes, her union with Alexander would've truthfully been the perfect match. After all, bothof their parents were happy for them. But then came Elise out of nowhere, destroying her happyfuture!

"Forget it.” Worried that she might say the wrong thing, Maya waved her hand and changed thetopic. “It's in the past. Elise is now my sister-in-law. I should be taking care of her as her junior. Goget a room ready for me. I'll be staying here from now on.”

"Of course, no problem,” was the swift answer. Even so, Sofia didn't move and continued speaking,"But there's something I'm not sure if I should speak to you about...”

“Tell me,” replied Maya.

“Did you read the entertainment news section yesterday, Miss Dahlen? Particularly, in the articleregarding Miss Sinclair and Garreth Dowrick,” Sofia asked in a secretive manner.

“I did. Are you trying to remind me just how popular Elise is right now?” Maya huffed rudely as herface clouded over.

"Of course not.” Sofia shifted to sit closer to Maya and whispered into her ear, “I was home theentire time last night, and I saw Miss Sinclair bringing Garreth home. The two of them stayed in herroom for over an hour, and no one was allowed to disturb them. Then, once in a while, I heard somestrange noises coming from the room. I don't know what they were doing, but..."

Maya's eyes widened. “Are you trying to say Elise is in that kind of relationship with Garreth?”

“I'm not too sure.” Sofia immediately tried to pull herself out of the fray. “But then again, that man—Mr. Howard or something like that—did sneak in through the back after the journalists were here.”“They must be doing it then!” Maya confidently stated. She grabbed Sofia and excitedly asked,“Have you told Alexander about this yet?”

"I did,” Sofia said with a sigh. “But Mr. Griffith wouldn't hear of it. He even accused me of slanderand was going to throw me out.”

Maya let go of Sofia’s arm as her eyes warily scanned the woman sitting next to her when she heardthat.

Suddenly, she realized that Sofia had been trying to fan the flames the entire time.

"You like Alexander,” she declared before letting out a cold huff full of contempt. “You? You thinkyou deserve him?”
