Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 861 She Won’t Die

Jamie complained while walking toward the working area. The moment he turned around, his spirit and drive dissipated, leaving only eternal darkness in his eyes.

Half an hour later, everything was ready in preparation, and all of Elise’s family and friends had gathered backstage to cheer for her. At that moment, the Griffiths’ driver suddenly barged in.

“Mr. Griffith.” The driver bowed respectfully. “Miss Jessamine was involved in a car accident. Do you want to head over and take a look at the situation?”

When everyone heard the news, they looked at each other while having their own thoughts. All the drivers of the Griffith Family were the best of the best. Why would they choose today out of all days to get into an accident? It was obvious that they were helping Jessamine steal Alexander from ‘Anastasia’.

Up until now, Jessamine was still Alexander’s fiancé, so it would not look good if he did not visit her in the hospital. However, today was Anastasia’s first book-launching event after returning from abroad. It would not look good either if Alexander did not show up.

Right when everyone was feeling nervous for Alexander, he looked at the driver expressionlessly and asked, “Is it serious?”

Dumbfounded, the driver replied, “Miss Jessamine only suffered minor injuries, but the doctors suspect she’s at risk of having a concussion.”

“That means she won’t die.” Alexander maintained his blank expression and showed no signs of moving. “You may leave now. I’ll head over once I’m done here.”

Even Jamie was shocked by that. After Elise’s disappearance, Alexander had countless women, but he had never neglected the old for the new. It seemed like he had indeed fallen for Anastasia.

However, Alexander disregarded everyone’s reaction and gentlemanly reached out his hand to invite Elise. “It’s about time we head on stage. I’ll escort you over there.”

Raising her eyebrow, Elise placed her hand in his and let him lead her out of the lounge while everyone else was watching.

After making sure no one had followed them out, she complained quietly, “You’re making me look like a troublemaking vixen.”

She was being unreasonable.
