Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1010

On the other hand, Wendy and Owen quickly kept quiet when they heard voices from their

eavesdropping device. A few minutes later, they heard Alexander arguing with Anastasia as the

computer played their voices.

"Alright, now only two of us are here, so you could drop your pretense. Do you know how disgusting

you are?"

"No one turns me down whenever I ask for something."

"Don't you dare to touch me, Alexander! Stay away from me!" Slap!

"What's wrong with you? You used to be gentle and thoughtful, but you are not anymore now."

"That's right. I'm not the gentlewoman you love. Isn't Elise your dream girl? Go find her then!"

Bang! After the door was shut with a loud bang, a lady's crying voice was heard. "Take the purse away!

I don't need you to buy me anything else again!" It went silent on the other side as soon as the conflict

ended, and Owen reckoned Elise must have thrown her purse to a corner where the reception was

poor. Thus, he turned off the laptop, thinking there was nothing else he could learn from the

eavesdropping.

On the other hand, Wendy was satisfied with what she heard. "Good. Now that we can listen in on

every move Alexander plans, we will no longer have to be afraid of falling for his traps."

Owen shared her feelings and said, "I'm going to take back everything Smith Co. took from me in the

next two years!"

"Of course!" She nodded. "By the way, it seems that the specialists working at BJ Biotech are more

than we expected, so you and I need to be extra careful when dealing with that matter. We don't want

to appear on the Mesdran police's radar."

"Don't worry, I thought about that a long time ago. Knowing the number of our targets will make it hard

for us to take them all down. I'm planning to split them up and single them out," he stated his intention

confidently.

"Good. This matter may be important, but we must also not forget to hold on to Anastasia. A woman is

more likely to be seduced by a man with an attractive physique, so it's worth making sacrifices if

necessary. Then, you'll have her heart soon enough." Wendy reminded him solemnly.

"Don't worry about that, Miss Jennings. I'll take care of the matter as soon as possible." Owen

responded affirmatively. He believed that Anastasia would fall in love with him the moment they shared

an intimate moment. Moreover, he claimed he was as physically capable as he had been back in

university.

On the other hand, Alexander put the eavesdropping device near the signal jammer once again, ending

their covert surveillance.

"Did you hear that? Owen is ready to seduce me. As far as I'm concerned, he has a pretty attractive

physique. For that, I'd feel threatened if I were you." Elise chuckled cheekily.

"Leave the lights on later. I will make you see which of our physiques is more attractive." Alexander

then carried Elise in his arms and walked toward the bedroom, rendering the lady speechless.

The following day, Camren suddenly barged in when they were having their breakfast. As the first

person who noticed his presence, Elise asked, "What brings you here, Mr. Abbott?"

Camren was standing there like normal at first, but when he saw Ariel coming his way, he quickly

covered his chest and acted as if he was sick and weak. "I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I heard there

is a doctor who stays with you all, which is why I have come to seek help."

"What's wrong with you?" Ariel got up from her seat and helped Camren walk to the couch. Despite her

animosity towards Rylantha, Ariel was obligated by her conscience and honor to assist her 'ill' father.

"I don't feel well. My back and legs are so sore that I couldn't sleep well the last few days." Camren

leaned on the couch and pretended to look unwell.

"I'm the doctor you're looking for. Let me do a quick check-up on you." Zephyr responded politely to

Camren, but as soon as he was done with the check-up, he didn't seem to detect anything wrong with

the old man's health. "Are you sure you've suffered from insomnia for the past few days?"

"Yes, I am." Camren nodded repeatedly. "The years have probably caught up with me and taken a toll

on my body. Maybe my days are numbered."

"What are you talking about?" Ariel was helpless and annoyed when she heard Camren's words.

"Would you please come over with me. Miss Whitney," Zephyr told Ariel to follow him.

As soon as Ariel was gone, Alexia came closer to Camren with a glass of warm water, trying to

investigate what was happening. "Here, have some water. Sir."

Camren's eyes brightened up when he saw the girl. "Aw! Who's this pretty little girl?" Wishing he could

have an adorable granddaughter like Alexia, Camren seized the child's hand before she could react.

"What do you say if you become my granddaughter?"

"So, does that mean you'll give me some pocket money?" she asked. After all, she had recently seen

the importance of money. She realized how her wealthy parents provided them with a comfortable life

and how her older brother could do what he loved. For that, she didn't want to miss any chance of

making herself some money, tempted to have her own savings.

"Of course. Not only will I give you some pocket money, but I will also give you some gifts during

Christmas," he coaxed the child happily.

"Alright then!" Alexia happily agreed, but soon, she sensed something wrong and looked at Elise. "Can

I, Mommy?"

"Do as you please, but do you like Grandpa Camren?" However, Elise didn't seem to object to her

daughter's request.

"Yes, I do!"

"Alright, go ahead then."

"Grandpa Camren."

"Aw!" Camren's heart melted when he heard what Alexia called him.

"That's not how a patient should look like." Ariel doubted Camren's reaction, especially when she saw

his rosy cheeks.

"You know what? You're right, actually." Zephyr added, "Mr. Abbott doesn't look like he's been suffering

from insomnia."

"What do you mean?" She was puzzled, but shortly after that, it quickly dawned on her. "Are you saying

he is actually fine?"

"Well, not exactly. I'd say his mind is the root cause of his condition, and the only way to fix it is to focus

on the cause. For that, the key lies within you." He made his point ambiguously and waved his hand

before leaving. "Enjoy, everyone. I'd like to get on with my own business for now."

Soon, Ariel angrily walked up to Camren with her arms folded in front of her chest. "Do you think lying

to us about being ill was fun? Are you a child or something? Leave now!"

"Who says I'm pretending? That doctor seems young, and with his limited experience, he might have

failed to detect any hidden illness within me. It's not like he has an x-ray vision that could help him see

through what's inside my body." He shamelessly talked his way out and pretended to faint. "Wait for a

second. I'm starting to feel dizzy now. I can't leave now. It looks like I will have to stay here for now."

"No way. You will leave now!" Ariel appeared to be adamant.

"No, I'm not going to leave. Why should I? My god-granddaughter hasn't said anything?" Camren laid

back on the couch and pretended to look ill.

"Are you going to leave or not? If you are not, I will—"

"Relax. Relax, Honey. Take it easy and hear me out." When she was going to chase the old man away,

Danny pulled her aside. "That's enough, Honey. Why are you so mean to your dad? He's always loved

you; he enjoys staying with all of us. So, why can't you go along with him?"

"No way. Who will clear the mess if Rylantha returns to us because of him? I'll get mom here and see if

he is still stubborn." Ariel stomped off to look for her mother.

Having done all that he could help Camren with, Danny could only turn his attention to his father-in-law

and remind him to be careful. "Oops, my mom is going to be here soon. You're on your own, Dad."

"Don't worry. I have plans to handle that." Camren sat up straight and confidently.
