Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 472

“Wait a minute.” Joey suddenly calmed down. “How did you know that I love H? Did my dad tell you that?

You’ve been planning this! Great!”

“Come on, give your father some credits.” Elise indifferently uttered, “He didn’t tell me anything. I

guessed it.”

“Guessed it? How? We hardly spoke.” Joey expressed her skepticism.

Elise then looked at her body as she smoothly clarified, “The cute figurine hanging on your bag is from

H’s Q series, and your bag is of the same brand H carried when she attended events.”

Joey was dumbfounded. “Who are you?”

“You wanna know?” Elise lifted one of her eyebrows.

Joey, in return, stupidly nodded.

“See for yourself.” Elise pulled a face on her and turned around to leave.

Baffled for a moment, Joey stomped her feet toward Elise. “Hey! Where’s my signed poster and

photograph?”

At that moment, Danny slyly barged in. “I’m one of H’s friends, you know? Call me ‘Big Bro Danny and I’ll

get them for you. How’s that?” He had always wanted a little sister with a cool yet silly personality like

Joey.

But Joey stared at him as if he was deranged. “Stay away from me!”

Having brought humiliation upon himself, Danny could only sulk as he leaned against Clement.

As he was about to lean in, Clement slowed down his steps, widening the gap between him and Danny.

“Not cool, man!” Danny stood still on the ground, expressing his anger.

Clement, however, couldn’t care more. He walked past him and chased after Elise without a word.

Tilted, Danny pursed his lips. Perhaps he was the one that nobody wanted.

The next day, Faye, along with an agent of Anderson Pharmaceuticals based in Landred City, arrived at

the land auction venue.

“Miss Faye, you didn’t actually have to come, you know. None of the participating bidders can compete

with the Andersons. With their capabilities, there’s no way they could acquire the land, the agent,

Armand Kurt, stated.

“I don’t need you to tell me that. I know what I’m doing” Her mysterious appcarance was meant to

confuse anyone who attempted to read her mind. Though, that was nothing but a facade. In fact, she

was so nervous about the auction that she felt compelled to witness the end of it. Trevor curviving had

been a huge shock to her, and she had since been anxious about things not going her way. Hence, she

had to supervise everything herself. Once she had gotten her hands on this piece of land, those

misogynistic incels from the company’s board would no longer have anything to say about her. Having

thought of that, she heaved a sigh. Ever since Elise became Yoona, she never lived a day peacefully, as

if something was constantly pricking her.

“What a small world it is.” All of a sudden, a voice interrupted her contemplation. Turning to the source,

she saw Elise and Alexander intimidatingly walking toward her under the company of a bunch of men.

“Why are you here?” Faye questioned in a hostile tone.

“For the same reason you came,” Danny discourteously mocked.

Faye squinted her eyes. I knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly!

“Oh, Elise, as much as you hate me, it’s not funny to pull pranks in auctions. Raising the price will only

obstruct the company’s goals, you know?” Faye softly warned.

“Can’t be too sure about that.” Alexander cut in, “If Elise acquired the land and joined the Andersons,

wouldn’t that be highly beneficial to the company? What do you think of that, Miss Faye?”

Hearing that, Faye gritted her teeth as she aggressively glared at Elise. I knew it. This b*tch is only here

to take a slice of our family’s properties! And now she’s finally out of patience and has decided to

infiltrate the company with this piece of land! Dream on! As if I’ll allow that!

“We’ll see about that!” Having said that maliciously, Faye went away in her heels. A country girl clinging

to a broke, washed out heir of a millionaire dares to challenge the Andersons? Know your damn

place!

Unlike a conventional auction, a land auction offered only one particular. Therefore, every single bidder

was a daunting opponent. After a brief introduction, a strike of a mallet thundered through the room. “The

starting bid is thirty-eight million, raising two million with each bid. Without further ado, let the auction

begin.”

Accordingly, a number of relatively small businesses called out their bids. When the bid reached forty-five

million, Armand, under Faye’s order, yelled, “Fifty million.” With him pushing the bid, the other

competitors instantly acknowledged their determination, and, thus, stopped calling bids.

As the auctioneer was about to finalize the auction, he saw a delicate arm being raised, followed by a

heavenly timbre of a damsel. “Sixty million.” After calling that, Elise turned to Faye with a subtle, polite

nod. In response, the crowd started gossiping about her.

“Who’s that young chick, so bold to go against the Andersons?”

Sixty million… She raised ten million just like that… How long does it take to regain that sum?”

“She must be bluffing, right? There’s no way she could afford that.”

urtisk. It seems we got ourselves a plot twist. I thought the Andersons were easily the winner with Miss

Faye here.”

Speechless, Faye gritted her teeth as she gripped her skirt. She’d been expecting Elise to make a move

soon. But surprisingly, Elise raised the bid by ten whole million, and that was frighteningly beyond her

calculations! This b*tch is clearly trying to embarrass me in front of the crowd!

“What should we do, Miss Faye? We’re gonna have a hard time with the board if we fail to acquire the

land!” Armand hastily stated.

“Shut up! You think I don’t know that?” Faye threw a tantrum at her subordinate as she started panting.

Whether she failed to acquire the land, or exceeded their calculated budget, she would have to receive

an earful from the old men in the company. This b*tch is not giving me a choice, damn it!

Elise faintly smiled at Faye’s frustration as the former remained her serene, unaffected look. Forget

about unpredictability, if she wished to, she could turn the entire Anderson Family upside down!

She can’t even take this! Guess she’s still weak, after all! Elise blurted, “How dull.” As she stood up and

was getting ready to leave, she heard Faye’s scream. “Seventy million!”

Oh? Here she comes. Elise coldly lifted her commissures, revealing a grin.

Nevertheless, little did Faye know, she could accumulate all of her family’s assets and it would hardly be

Elise’s pocket money, so how could Faye compete with her?

As Elise viciously turned around, intending to call bid, a man in the front row raised his hand. “Ninety

million.”

“How fascinating.” Elise mischievously smirked. She returned to her seat and whispered to Alexander.

“Never would have expected someone to share a common source of pleasure with me — seeing the

pain on Faye’s face.”

Alexander revealed a knowing grin. “Yeah. Get a room, you two.”

Elise bit her lips. “If I could get a penny every time you got jealous, I could have owned the World Bank!”

Then, she turned to observe Faye’s reaction.

Obviously, Faye couldn’t afford such a fierce price. And so, she stopped making any noise.

Finally, the auctioneer struck his mallet, finalizing the bid. “And the land goes to ninety million.

Congratulations!”
