Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1055

"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.

"Why did you come back alone? Where's Elise?" Danny only knew that Rylantha had been kidnapped

along with Elise. He didn't know that the kidnapper had left her behind, so he was surprised to see her

now.

"What kind of question is that? Ouch. Are you happy that I was kidnapped? You must've been the one

behind the kidnapping! You must be trying to come after me!" Rylantha was so furious that her cheeks

puffed up.

"What kind of nonsense is that? If I wanted to go after you, would I need to resort to a dirty trick like

that? You would've been six feet under by now if you weren't Ariel's sister!" Danny snapped at Rylantha

as he was stressing out over Elise's situation.

"Hah! All of you heard that, right?"

It was as if Rylantha was finally vindicated as she shrieked for everyone to be her witness. "You finally

said what you truly feel, huh? You've been hoping that I die, but so what? I'm blessed by the heavens,

so I got to escape with my life instead of allowing you to get what you want! It's a shame that Anastasia

had to take my place and die at the hands of her own family. Oh, the irony! Hahaha—Mmmmph—"

Her maniacal laughter came to an abrupt halt as Alexander wrapped his hand around her neck so

tightly that his veins were bulging.

"What did you say to her when you were in the room with her?" Alexander's voice was dark and his

gaze was piercing. He was giving off a deathly aura.

It was as if he would snap Rylantha's neck into two at the slightest provocation.

In just a few short seconds, Rylantha had turned bright red. She kept hitting Alexander's strong arm to

no avail. "I-I just wanted to ask for her help. I wanted her to put in a good word for me with the old fool.

That's all!"

Alexander narrowed his eyes and lowered his gaze. His eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes.

Rylantha didn't know what was going through his mind, but she could feel his hand tightening around

her neck as he raised her off the ground.

It became even harder for her to breathe. She grabbed Alexander's arm as hard as she could. "It's not

me! I wouldn't have gotten myself into such a mess if I wanted to do something to Anastasia! I wouldn't

have gotten involved in the first place! I'm not that stupid, Alexander. I'm Camren's daughter! You can't

kill me!"

The more she spoke, the feebler her voice got. At the end of her last sentence, her body jerked and her

mind went blank as her hands fell limp to the side and her body sagged. She looked like a dead rat.

No one came forward to stop Alexander. They knew what kind of person Rylantha was, and even if it

had been a misunderstanding, she had brought this onto herself.

Nevertheless, when Ariel saw that Rylantha was about to stop breathing, she couldn't stop herself from

feeling bad about it since they were related.

Ariel was about to plead for mercy on Rylantha's behalf when the latter slumped to the ground.

Alexander dropped her.

Rylantha twitched a few times before regaining consciousness. She was gasping for air with her eyes

glazed over.

Alexander looked down at her. "If I ever hear you cursing Elise again, the consequences won't be as

light as they are today."

Ring, ring!

Alexander's phone started ringing.

He answered the call. Raymond's voice was particularly displeasing to the ear as he said, "We lost

them, Boss."

"Widen the search area and continue the search," Alexander instructed before hanging up.

Danny could tell from the look on Alexander's face that the situation didn't look good. After mulling it

over, he fumed, "It has to be the Hellens who are behind this. That old and bald Stenson must be trying

to take his revenge because he couldn't stand the way we messed up his plans!"

"The kidnapper acted alone. It could be Matthew." Jamie thought differently.

"Don't forget about Owen Morgan. He's trouble too," Narissa added.

Jamie nodded in agreement.

Alexander remained silent in thought for a moment before he started coughing.

At first, it was a few dry coughs and everyone was too caught up in their thoughts to notice.

However, his coughing fit continued, so much so that he didn't respond to any of their comments, and

the crowd heard Alexia crying out, "Daddy!"

It was only then that they looked over and saw Alexander crumpling to the ground.

"Alexander!"

"Boss!"

"Daddy!"
