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.”

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

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

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
