Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 978

Jamie spent the night drinking to the point he had to be carried back to the bedroom.

Seeing him in a daze, Narissa walked over and tried to help him take off his coat so that he was more

comfortable.

She had just reached out when the man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her by the wrist, his

eyes seemingly on fire.

"You were pretending to be drunk?" Truth was, Narissa couldn't tell.

A sly smirk appeared on the corners of the man's mouth when he heard that. "I've been in the business

industry for years now and yet, they tried to take advantage of me by getting me hammered. Do I look

like a pushover?"

"Doesn't that sound amazing? But don't forget how you fell asleep on our wedding night. It seems to

me that you... aren't all that." Narissa intentionally killed his ego a little.

Men could tolerate a lot of things, but not one of them could put up with having their abilities doubted.

"I'm not all that? Did you really just say that I'm not all that?"

Like a broken record, Jamie repeated his words twice before holding Narissa by her wrists and

pressing her against the couch. "I shall demonstrate my abilities to you then!"

She smiled and struggled a few times, but when she realized that she couldn't push him away, she

squinted as a dangerous light flashed in her eyes. "Are you trying to do it by force?" she warned.

Jamie, however, was completely oblivious to the impending danger as he thought that she was still

playing along with the bickering.

Instead of getting up, he closed in on her. "Last time was a mistake on my part. Tonight, I'll show you

what a real man is."

"Okay, then. Show me what you're made of." Narissa's smile now seemed to hide malicious intent.

The two of them had been at loggerheads with each other from the first day they were acquainted. It

never stopped even until now.

The person who showed cowardice now would naturally be the loser.

With the liquid courage that the alcohol was giving him, Jamie braced himself and pushed his face into

the crook of her neck to have his way with her.

"Ouch!" He was gasping in pain with his hands over his abdomen while he fell on his knees the next

moment.

Narissa then let out a contented smile. She had only put less than half of her strength into this kick, but

it was enough to knock the breath out of the unsuspecting Jamie.

He was asking for it, anyway.

She had no problem laying her hands on him if he dared to get forceful with her. It was a competition to

see who was more ruthless.

In short, she couldn't lose!

Jamie's face had flushed red. "You're actually serious!" he groaned.

"What were you expecting?" Narissa was like a child who had successfully pulled a prank.

Jamie gritted his teeth in anger. As his indignation welled up, he rushed forward again, only to be

kicked by Narissa.

Falling over in shock, he looked at this side of Narissa he had never seen before and kept gulping.

Her every move and gaze were, undoubtedly, that of a hooligan!

On the second day of the engagement banquet, Ariel did something she wouldn't usually do—she went

out of her way to invite Elise to go shopping together.

Elise knew that Ariel's real intention wasn't to drink, so she happily obliged.

In the boutique where Elise came out of the fitting room, she looked at herself in the mirror while asking

for Ariel's opinion, "What do you think of this one?"

She thought that the color was a little too bright and not in style.

Elise had always dressed according to the low-profile Anastasia all these years.

"It's nice!" Ariel casually threw out a response.

Hearing that, Elise observed Ariel's expression through the mirror and began to tease, "You were the

one who asked me out, but your head is somewhere else. What's wrong? You and Danny haven't

made up yet?"

Ariel only sighed, but that itself was her answer to Elise's question.

Elise knew that Ariel was looking for an emotional dumpster. Since she was here, she didn't intend to

hide. "To be honest..." She plopped down beside Ariel as she stated, "Cheating is pretty much

unacceptable. However, the two of you are in a special situation. Danny is not someone who loves fads

and ty. I suggest you carefully consider your relationship with him."

She wasn't saying this because Danny was her family. This came from the bottom of her heart.

As someone who had been through all sorts of ups and downs, Elise knew that things could be out of

one's control. Holding on to a mistake would only make one linger in pain forever. It wouldn't be worth

it.

What was more, what happened this time wasn't either of their fault.

Ariel shook her head. "I don't mind him cheating. It's not worth it living a lifetime, only to have bedded

one person. I'm mad that he kept it from me for so long."

"Wait, I don't understand. So, what you're saying is... married couples don't have to be faithful?" Elise

felt that her knowledge of this world had been swayed.

"Loyalty is a must but honestly, I grew up receiving foreign education. I don't care much about things

like chastity. I might have been a little pissed, but it was only for a while. I am not an angry person by

nature."

Ariel did speak like a foreigner, and she was as exaggerated as she was bold. However, her words

weren't the most logical.

"So, what are you planning on doing?" Elise only picked up on the part she took notice of. "You're not

mad, but you're not getting married either?"

"Oh, the wedding proceeds as planned, for sure." Ariel didn't even think before she answered. "But no

matter what, messing around is a problem with one's principle, ru need to ignore him for a few more

days. What if I get my heart broken when he can't control himself after we're married? Just think of this

as a way to keep the husband in check."

Elise didn't dare to agree just like that. "Are you sure you're keeping him in check, not the other way

round? You're already out of your mind now. What do you think will happen to you in a few days?"

Ariel let out a bitter smile at that. "Hey, don't you know what 'girls help girls' means? You're making fun

of me, huh?"

"My bad, my bad. Considering how you're a poor wife waiting for your husband, I'll pay the bill today.

Get whatever you want."

"You said it! I won't hold back."

One of a woman's greatest joys was shopping, and the greater joy was shopping using other people's

money.

With Elise buying her everything, Ariel felt as though her worries were gone in the blink of an eye. After

Ariel went all out shopping, she finally found a place to take a rest. She had bought so many things that

not even one booth could fit all her shopping bags.
