Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 647 It’s a Guy Thing

“You can’t do that to Kiki!” Raul furrowed his eyebrows deeply, looking extremely agitated.

“And, what gives her the right to do that to my husband?” Elise was completely unsympathetic. “How are we not innocent in this matter? If she insists on blackmailing us, we will only end up in a lose-lose situation.”

He lowered his gaze with a conflicted expression and immersed himself in his own thoughts, seemingly contemplating the odds of her acting recklessly in retaliation.

He had promised Keira that he would keep her secret, but he never imagined that he would face a situation like this. She only mentioned taking advantage of her illness to extort some money from Alexander to support her mother. She never said what would happen to her after that. If she can’t even rest in peace after receiving that money, then what’s the point of all that money?

From what he had gathered from Elise, the balance on their accounts would remain beyond the reach of most ordinary people even if the company went bankrupt. So even if Mrs. Collins received 10 million in compensation, there was a possibility that Alexander and his wife would make her life extremely difficult in the future.

But… Keira has made up her mind. So I should support her wishes!

Alexander could see that Raul was still hesitating. Thus, he patted Elise on the arm and indicated for her to leave first. “Leave this to me.”

She considered this for a moment and obediently went back into the restaurant.

Inside the narrow alley, Raul remained leaning against the wall and seemed to be in an extremely poor mental state.

In the midst of that silence, Alexander suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to him.

He glanced up at Alexander, seemingly surprised that such a refined and privileged person would enjoy such ordinary things.
