Coolest Girl in Town

"Help! Don't hurt me!"

Rylantha's instinctive reaction was to shriek, but when she saw that it was Alexander who had come, she exhaled in relief. "You scared me to death! I thought it was that guy who came back to kill me!"

"Did you see what he looked like?"

Elise was pregnant and Alexander was in a rush to figure out who the kidnapper was lest she and the baby remain in danger.

"No." Rylantha shook her head and huffed, "He knocked me out from behind so I couldn't see what he looked like."

Alexander ground his teeth and stormed off.

"Hey! Wait for me! Don't leave me here!"

Rylantha tried to scramble out of the trash can in fear, but a thought flashed across her mind. She scooted back inside the trash can and banged against the side instead. The trash can wobbled and fell.

She crawled out of the trash can and couldn't be bothered to tidy up before she ran after Alexander. By the time she got back to the resort building, her bare feet were all scratched up from the pebbled path.

When Jamie and the others heard that Elise had been kidnapped, they gathered in the open area outside the main lobby. Once they spotted Alexander coming over, they immediately rushed over to him.

"Did you find her?" Narissa asked.

"Couldn't catch up to them." Alexander's brows were tightly furrowed and his gaze was frosty.

Everyone's hearts sank and their expressions turned grim as well.

Just then, Rylantha appeared in front of them.

She was barefooted and kept gasping in pain whenever her feet touched the ground. Every step she took felt like she was walking on a bed of needles. She looked like a clumsy little chicken. She was only able to stand up straight again when she finally reached the marble landing.
