Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 494 I’m Here to Protect You

The door slammed shut with a loud, ruthless thud that sent a jolt through Owen. He returned to his senses and his exquisite facial features darkened. Did Elise just abandon me for a weak, sissy man? Wait a minute! Her fiancé is Alexander, so why is she so intimate with that man?

From their attitude toward each other, Owen could feel the duo avoiding each other, as if they had something to hide. Is it possible that Elise is cheating on Alexander with this man? It’s good news if that is the case. This proves that Elise and Alexander’s relationship is not as stable as I thought. However, I don’t think she is as pure and innocent as I assumed.

From Elise’s strengths, she was, without a doubt, a woman of many talents who was good enough for Owen. However, he despised her slightly for her messy private relationships. At the thought of the both of them having fun on their own even after getting married, Owen left her room quietly.

Meanwhile, behind the closed door, Elise had been leaning against the peephole as she kept watch on the corridor. Upon seeing Owen turn around, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she narrowed her eyes dangerously at Kenneth, who was currently against the wall as she held him by the neck.

“After he gets into the elevator, you have no chance of staying here, understand?”

Kenneth, however, smiled indecently and raised his other hand to stroke her hand that was clamped on his neck. This made Elise quickly loosen her grip and retract her hand as she thundered, “You jerk!”

With that, she remembered that Owen was not that far from them, so she lowered her voice. “Kenneth, there’s a limit to my patience,” she warned. “Don’t you go around assuming that I won’t dare to kill you!”

Kenneth’s lips twitched into a taunting smile as he countered, “Go ahead, then. Even if I’m dead, I will be a flirty ghost.”

Speechless, Elise narrowed her eyes again. “If you don’t know the meaning of the words, don’t simply say them.”

Kenneth looked like his parents were of different nationalities and he was raised abroad when he was younger, so he likely did not fully grasp the language. However, he took two steps towards her as he purred, “What do you mean? Why don’t you teach me, Miss Sinclair?”

The passage leading to the door was neither narrow nor wide, but as the both of them stood opposite to each other, they were not that far from each other. Now that Kenneth had gotten closer to her, Elise was forced to take a few steps back until her back leaned against the wall. His warm breath landed on her face, making her ears tingle.
