Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 683

Chapter 683 Losing to You Isn't So Bad

The slight sense of guilt that Sofia had felt earlier instantly dissipated when she heard this. Shereached to grab fistfuls of Maya's hair and knocked the girl's head against the ground as shescreeched, “Who are you calling a skank? I ought to wash your mouth out with soap!”

One would be wise not to underestimate the strength packed into a female professor's punchesbecause it didn’t take long for Maya to be knocked into a daze.

“Better yield now if you know what's good for you!” Sofia yelled aggressively. “Yield!”

“I will not yield to a lowly servant like you! Go screw yourself!” Maya's mind cleared up with eachword that she bit out. Instead, she seized the opportunity to fight back when Sofia was brieflydistracted. She reached up with both arms, put Sofia in a headlock, and pulled her down. Then,without warning, she clamped her teeth down on the girl's ear.

"Ow! That hurts! Are you some kind of a rabid mutant dog? Let go!” Sofia shrieked, but the moreshe cried out in pain, the more it encouraged Maya. She was biting so hard that if she bit down anyharder, she might just draw blood.

At a disadvantage, Sofia had no choice but to brace through the pain and tighten her grip onMaya's hair.

Cries of agony and screams echoed throughout the living room. Even the maid couldn't helpshuddering when she gave the two fighting women a wide berth as she brought Elise her oatmeal."Here you go, Mrs. Griffith,” she announced as she set the bowl of oatmeal down on the coffeetable. “Your oatmeal.”

Elise picked up the bowl and stirred the oatmeal insouciantly, adding fuel to the fire as she calledout, “Oh, Maya, why can't you just get over yourself? Miss Hawkins here is practically hand-pickedby my mother-in-law, and if anything happens to her, I can't guarantee you would be safe fromMadeline's wrath. So, just back down for your own sake, Maya. Don’t go looking for trouble.”

Had she not mentioned Madeline, then perhaps Maya would have listened to reason, but now, shewas angrier than ever.

Once upon a time, Madeline had picked on Elise on more than one occasion just to protect Maya,and now, all the preferential treatment had gone to Sofia instead! There was no way Maya couldswallow this bitter pill. But, suddenly, it was as if she unlocked some power in her as she managedto flip Sofia over and pin her to the ground with shocking strength, then rained punches down onher mercilessly.

“I'll beat you to death! I hate you, and I want to kill you! What are you going to do about it? So whatif you have a prestigious degree? Do you think you're so eligible even at this age? You said yourdad's some high-ranking official, right? Give me a name! Come on, see if you dare! I'll post it onsocial media tomorrow and tell everyone how his skank of a daughter beat up another innocentperson! Let's see if he gets to keep his job after that!”

Maya could feel her adrenaline spiking with each angry word that tumbled out of her mouth. Shewas incensed when she saw that Sofia had managed to dodge and block all her punches and slaps,so she started spitting on the girl's face instead.

She continued spitting as she cursed, “You're nothing but a piece of trash! To hell with your fancydouble-degree Ph.D.!"

“You b*tch!” Sofia screamed when she felt spit on her face. She had lost all sense of decorum at thispoint as she scrambled off the floor and pinned Maya down on it once more, then began to chokeher. “I hate it when people spit on my face when they speak! And you call yourself a woman?! Youdisgusting wench! I ought to strangle you!"

When one descended into a maniacal rage as Sofia did, adrenaline would surge and make theperson more forceful than usual. More importantly, Maya was petite and never Sofia“s match, tobegin with. Now that she was being throttled, she could only wield her weak punches against Sofia’sarm.

It was only when Maya looked like she was about to pass out that Elise beckoned for the maid topull the girls apart.

The fight ended with both women hauled into the ambulance and ferried over to the hospital.

Elise had no choice but to go along with them as she was the household's mistress.

Presently, Maya and Sofia were in the doctor's suite getting their injuries treated while Elise waitedfor them in the hallway.

Just then, Alexander called her. “Why aren't you home?”

“I'm at the hospital right now,” she explained.

"What are you doing there? Did something happen? Which hospital is that?”

“Natural Hospital, the one closest to our place. I'm—" She was cut off by the beeping sound on theother line when Alexander hung up in a hurry. She stared at the home screen on her phone inamusement.

At that moment, Sofia walked out of the doctor's office first. She had a couple of scratch marks onher forehead, which the doctor had fixed up with some antiseptic and band-aids, and coupled withher tousled hair and torn dress; she looked like a right mess.

However, she appeared to be completely at ease as she sauntered down the hallway like a thug whohad won a street fight, though, in all fairness, Maya was more roughed-up than she was.

Elise glanced at Sofia in mild disinterest and made no effort to speak to her.

Despite this, Sofia called out loudly, “Hey!”

Elise held her phone as she stood to the side and asked forthrightly, “What is it? You still got someof that adrenaline, huh? Do you want to fight me or something?”

Sofia laughed when she heard this and waved her hand to deny this. “Nah, not today. I'm wiped. I'llbeat you up some other time.”

Elise flashed her a good-natured smile and asked, “So why did you call me then?"

Sofia let out a long sigh, and when she gazed at Elise, it was with admiration and sincerity. “Nothing.I just wanted to let you know that you should start looking for a new housekeeper. I quit.”

“Really? So soon? Surely Maya couldn't have scared you that much,” Elise pointed out inamusement.

“You have no idea how little I think of that wench,” Sofia said, chortling as she shook her head."Personally, letting you beat me doesn't sound half as bad as letting that stupid Maya win,” shemused thoughtfully.

Elise couldn't help laughing at this. “Is that a compliment?”

"Kind of,” Sofia admitted. Then, she reached out and patted Elise on the arm in a show ofsportsmanship, then said, “I'm backing out of this competition for good. Maya won't be the onlywoman you'll have to watch out for. Heaven knows how many more of them are there. Good luckwith dealing with them, and take care.”

With that, she shrugged off her jacket and slung it over her shoulder, then walked away with anastounding air of confidence.

Elise took in the girl's cavalier attitude as she watched her leave and smiled for some reason.

Not long after Sofia left, Alexander arrived.

He rushed over to Elise and examined her from head to toe, then front to back. He even circled heronce just to make sure she was completely unharmed. After he concluded that she was fine, hebreathed a breath of relief and said, “I'm glad you're okay.” But then, he recalled what the maid hadtold him when he called home earlier and instantly turned grim. “Where are Sofia and Maya?”

It was bad enough that these two women had been stirring up trouble for a while now, but to fightin his home was crossing the line.

“Sofia just left,” Elise answered. “And as for Maya...” The name had only just slipped past her lipswhen she glanced at the doctor's office and saw that the person in question was walking out. Shejerked her chin in Maya's direction and said, “She's right there.”

Alexander glowered in Maya's direction mutinously, and there was no hiding the contempt anddisgust in his eyes.

Maya looked pathetic with her hair mussed and tangled, and the fight had smudged her make-up.Startled, she kept her head down as she quietly padded over to where Alexander and Elise were, notdaring to meet the former's icy gaze at all.

She had wanted to sneak past them unnoticed, but when she drew closer to them and tried to givethem a wide berth, Alexander snapped, “Stop.” There was not a trace of warmth in his voice.

She winced and halted in her steps. “What is it?" she asked so softly that it was almost like she wasspeaking to herself.

"Who said you could go by my place?” Alexander was intimidating, and the air around him crackledwith angry energy. But, he didn’t wait for her response before threatening darkly, “Your father is stillreceiving treatment in rehab, right? So, let this be my final warning to you—don’t ever show up infront of me again, or I can’t promise that your father will keep living.”

At the mention of her father, Maya stiffened and looked up in shock. She wanted to confront andquestion him, but in the end, she said nothing. Instead, she swallowed her words along with herbitterness, then turned to leave the hospital in defeated silence.
