Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 901

Chapter 901 Overtime

“Tsk!” Margaret rolled her eyes at Edmond in frustration. “Just keep quiet! I'll explain it to you later!”“To hell with your explanation!” Edmond grabbed his crutches and wobbled to his feet. “Your firstexplanation ended up with you shoving me onto the street so that a car would run over me, andnow you want to give me an explanation that is going to have me turning over all of my assets?Either way, you just want me to be the one who bears the brunt of all the suffering!”

"What are you even saying? Stop acting so crazy! Just shut up!” Margaret never thought he wouldmess things up at a time like this. In her panic, the only thing she could think to do was to raise hervoice and drown him out.

“You're the one who should just shut up! I'm telling you now. If you want to be taken advantage of,then go ahead and do it alone! I'm not going to go along with this plan of yours. So what ifAnastasia has it out for me? I can just file for bankruptcy and let them take my company. Even if thathappens, I can still enjoy myself with the millions that my family has. Trying to use my money toachieve your goals and force me to beg on the streets, huh? Don't even think about it!"

Edmond tore off the bandage around his forehead and neck and threw them away before hobblingoff with the help of his crutches.

"You fool!” Margeret stomped her foot in fury. “If you leave now, it's over for us both!"

Edmond didn't care at all. He sped up and disappeared out the door soon after.

“Oh, no! The show's ruined!” Elise gasped mockingly on purpose.

Margaret was infuriated and frustrated at the same time. She clenched her fists as she cursedEdmond in silence.

She had always been shrewd. How did she end up with such a lousy partner?

Margaret turned around and glared at Anastasia with resentment. Discontentment and hatredswirled in her eyes.

“Your partner has given up on the show. What else do you have to say?”

Alexander was staring at her with deep dissatisfaction. The temperature of the air around himseemed to drop several degrees.

He pulled Elise into his arms in silent warning.

Anyone who tried to touch his woman had better ask for his permission first.

Left with no way out, Margaret decided to throw caution to the wind and give it one last shot. “I justwant to know one thing. Do you really want Anastasia to return the money to you?”

Alexander held Elise even closer to him. “What do you think?”

He didn't give a straight answer, but Margaret had the answer anyway.

Alexander wouldn't make life difficult for Anastasia.

And just like that, Margaret knew that as long as Anastasia was still around, she would always bereminded of just how unfair the world was.

Some people were born with everything in life. Life favored them even without them having to lift afinger. Meanwhile, when it came to her, she would still end up with nothing after all her schemingand plotting.

Margaret hated this world, and she hated Anastasia even more!

If Anastasia hadn't befriended her, she could've still tolerated the perfectly average fate she had, butbecause Anastasia had stormed into her world, she realized just how unfair it was and startedwanting more and more.

It's all because of Anastasia! Anastasia’s the one who ruined my life!

Margaret gave Anastasia one last look of hatred and resentment before stomping off in anger.Alexander noticed the look in Margaret's eyes. As soon as she left, he called his assistant.

"Deal with Margaret and Edmond as soon as possible.”

He hung up immediately after giving his instructions.

“Are you making a move against them too?” Elise had intended to handle the matter herself. Shedidn't expect Alexander to get involved.

Alexander brushed her hair to the side gently. “I'm sorry. I didn’t want to butt in, but it seems like itwon't be safe if those two are still around. I can only rest easy once they've been dealt with.”

"Oh, alright.” Elise shrugged. She did feel it was a bit of an overkill to have Alexander deal with thosetwo.

"Are you unhappy about it?” Alexander asked.

“It's not that,” Elise said. “I just think it'd be too easy on them if you destroyed them so soon. Iwanted to play with them for a little longer.”

That was the only way to make it up to the deceased Anastasia.

“I'll make sure it's done properly.” Alexander nodded in all seriousness to assure her that he knewwhat she wanted before changing the subject to something a lot less solemn. “But why don't weplay among ourselves now?”

"What are we playing?” Elise was serious too.

“Baby-making.”

“Baby-making?”

Alexander had picked Elise up and carried her in his arms before she even had the time to react.When Elise finally understood what he meant, she glanced at the household staff who were passingby and turned bright red. She punched him lightly on the chest. “What are you doing? It's broaddaylight!”

“Lexi really wants a younger sister, and as her parents, it's our job to fulfill her wishes, even if itmeans working overtime.” Alexander had no shame at all.

Elise was speechless. “Is that how you use the word “overtime'?"

"How else should I use it? Let's discuss it in detail when we get to the bedroom.”

Elise had no words.

Alexander, you sneaky b*stard!

Meanwhile, in Cuber Residence on the other side of the ocean.

Narissa was sitting up in bed in the middle of an extravagant room that looked like it belonged to aprincess. Out of boredom, she engrossed herself in her computer game.

Buzz!

The phone on her bedside table started vibrating. Narissa glanced at the screen and decided toignore the call when she saw that it was from a number she didn't recognize and waited for herphone to stop ringing

However, the same number called again. It was just as her game was at its climax and the buzzingsound was disrupting her ability to concentrate, so she grabbed her phone and turned it off.

Back on the other side of the ocean, Jamie was filled with doubt after having his call go unansweredtwice.

He cross-checked the number he dialed against the one Elise gave him and tried to call once moreafter confirming that he had the right number, only to hear the robotic message telling him that thephone he was calling had been turned off. He was gobsmacked.

Did Boss give me a fake number?

Narissa didn’t know about any of this. She was fully focused on her game, and after executing amasterful series of skills, she finally emerged victorious.

"Yes!" she exclaimed in excitement.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching her door. Just as her doorknob started turning, shequickly tossed her laptop aside and yanked the covers over her to act as if she was asleep.

Ever since Narissa came home, she had been holing up in her room without trying to interact withanyone else. Her complete avoidance of any form of social interaction was enough to convince herparents that she was deeply hurt. Thanks to that, she managed to escape several blind dates andmatchmaking attempts.

However, the person they were trying to set her up with had come to their house today. She figuredthat it must be her mother coming up to urge her to go down, so she decided to use her same oldploy to get out of today's meeting.

Soon, she heard the door closing.

Once the footsteps disappeared down the corridor, Narissa threw her blanket off and sat upgleefully, but the moment she opened her eyes, she looked straight into her father's stern face.Narissa slowly lowered her head guiltily. “It's you, D-Da,” she muttered awkwardly.

Her father, Napoleon Cuber, kept himself in good shape. He was in his fifties but looked likesomeone in his thirties instead. Still, it did not make his over-six-foot-tall frame any less imposing.“We have a guest here. Go down and greet him,” Napoleon said grimly.

Narissa scratched her head and started coming up with excuses. “I don't feel too good today,actually. Why don't I greet him some other time? It'd be disrespectful of me to meet our guest inthis state.”

“You keep delaying it. If not now, when?” Napoleon's voice was calm but his tone was still stern allthe same. “Ever since you were born, your mother and I have never forced you to do anything youdidn't want to do. You're the one who made the decision this time. You're an adult. You need tolearn to take responsibility for the things you say.”
