Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 255,Coolest Girl in Town

“No way, you got it all wrong; that wasn’t my intention. I was just worried about the possible trouble that’ll

crop up.” After all, many people would try to suck up to Quentin, considering his identity. Elise had only

expressed that they were on somewhat close terms, and already, there was a whole queue of people

trying to get to him through her. And Quentin knew this better than anyone else. “You’re getting even

more crafty by the day, my girl!” Having said that, Quentin looked at Alexander, his eyes narrowing

slightly when he recalled Madeline’s words earlier.

He then quickly continued, “How has life been treating you recently, Ellie? If anything happens, come

straight to me! You’ll always have my full support.” “I know, Papa! Don’t worry about that! I’ve been doing

just fine.” “That’s all I need to hear!” After saying that, Quentin seemingly thought of something. He then

dug out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed it over to her. “I’m very proud of you, knowing that

you got into Tissote University. These are the keys to the house that I bought for you near campus. You

can stay there. It’ll be more convenient for you that way.”

Elise stared at the keys. Her heart wouldn’t stop thumping furiously in her chest. Property prices in

Tissote were sky-high; just a single studio apartment would set one back millions already. “This is too

expensive a gift. I can’t accept this.” Much to her surprise, Quentin became unhappy when she said that,

and he shoved the keys right into her hands. “This is for my darling daughter, so it’s not expensive to me

at all! I’m going to be upset if you don’t accept it.”

“Okay, Papa! I’ll take it.” It was only then that Quentin’s expression lightened up. “That’s my girl, being so

considerate and polite even with her godfather! Say, when are you going to Tissote? It’ll be easier for me

to help you make the necessary arrangements.” “Early September, I guess!” “Okay, got it. Let me send

you two back. Or, do you want to go to the Griffith Residence instead?” “No, I already moved out. I

currently stay at a place at Bollinger Gardens that I bought myself,” Elise quickly said. Quentin’s eyes

narrowed slightly at that before he asked, “Ellie, did something upsetting happen to you recently?”

Elise shook her head. “I’m fine! I just thought that I was imposing too much on the Griffiths’ hospitality, so

I decided to move out myself.” Quentin clearly wasn’t buying any of that, but he didn’t call her out on her

lie either. He simply said, “No matter what happens, remember to tell me, okay? Don’t keep everything to

yourself.” “Don’t worry, Papa. I’m fine, really!” Quentin felt even more heartbroken when he heard her say

that, but he didn’t show any sign of it on his face. Elise was the first one to get out of the car when he

dropped Elise and Alexander off at their destination.

However, seeing how Alexander still remained seated in the car, she proceeded to call him. But then,

Alexander said, “Head in first. There’s something that I want to talk to Mr. Fassbender about.” Elise

asked, “Why are you guys acting so mysterious all of a sudden, Papa? Can’t I listen in too?” Quentin

chuckled. “How can a woman listen in on a conversation between two men? Hurry upstairs now! Get

some rest!” Elise pouted.

“Okay, Papa! I’m going now. See you later.” She then waved and proceeded to make her way into the

building. After the car door was closed again, the atmosphere between Alexander and Quentin

inexplicably changed. Neither of them spoke, but Alexander could sense a certain pressure weighing

down on him. It was the first time someone made him feel that way. Quentin quirked an eyebrow slightly

and said, “I’m not going to beat around the bush, Alex, so let me just cut right to the chase. I’ve watched

Ellie grow up with my own eyes. I know her personality and her feelings better than anyone.

Since you’ve chosen her, then I ask you to take good care of her. Do not let her suffer, ever. As for your

mother, there are certain things that I can’t possibly say. Still, I will have to remind you of this: regardless

of anything, Ellie has me watching her back…” Alexander understood Quentin’s intentions. “Rest

assured, Mr. Fassbender! Elise is my fiancée, so naturally, I’ll protect her from anything. Even my mother

cannot challenge my decision! I ask you to not worry about this.”

Having heard his reply, Quentin felt a lot more at ease. “All right, I’ll trust you for now because of what

you’ve said.” Having gotten out of the car, Alexander then watched the car drive off into the distance.

Elise appeared out of nowhere after the car left and gently tapped him on the shoulder. “What did Papa

say to you? You don’t exactly look good.” Alexander looked at Elise standing before him, and then he

reached out to hug her, saying to her in the softest and gentlest of tones, “Your godfather asked me to

take good care of you.” “Just that?” “That’s not all.” “What else did he say?”

“He also told me not to bully you, or he will make me regret it.” A huge smile spread across Elise’s face

upon hearing that before she ribbed him. “Haha, now you know, don’t you? I’ve got someone powerful

backing me.” “Mmhm, I know now, so I have to be even nicer to you.” Elise couldn’t restrain herself

anymore. She burst into laughter. “Isn’t that something you should be doing in the first place?” “That’s

right! Mr. Fassbender’s words just strengthened my resolve.” Alexander was serious when he said that.

However, deep down, he knew that nothing had changed even though Quentin’s words had had an effect

on him.

His original desires aligned perfectly with what Quentin said. This was a tacit understanding between two

men, all for someone that they both wanted to protect. “Let’s go home! It’s getting late already.”

Alexander took the initiative and led her inside. The two of them then went upstairs. They had just arrived

home when Elise got a phone call from Danny. “Hey Boss, your letter of admission is here. When should

I bring it over?”

“Tomorrow, then.” “Sure do, Boss! Once again, congratulations! By the way, lemme tell you another piece

of good news: my own admission letter is here too. When the time comes, we can go to Tissote for

university together, even if we won’t be attending the same uni…” Elise could hear the excitement in his

voice. “Congrats! You got what you wished for!” “Thanks, Boss! I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for

you.”

Danny was absolutely sincere when he said that. Elise smiled. “It’s all thanks to your own hard work. I

just gave you a little push.” She might have said that, but Danny knew that if it wasn’t for Elise, he might

not even have gotten into university. After hanging up, Elise absentmindedly placed her phone on the

table. She walked over to the French window, taking in the night view of the city. Time sure flies. It’s been

nearly a year since I came to this city.

Many things have happened during this one year. And during this period, I’ve grown a lot… The next day,

Elise went to the studio. She had just taken one step into her office when Brendan came over to her.

“Elise!” Elise raised her head to look at him. “What is it? Did something happen?”
