Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 488 I’m Tired and I Want to Sleep!

“This woman really is unreasonable!”

“Exactly! Everyone is being kind by giving her advice, but she is still so stubborn about it. Serves her

right to lose all that money.”

“You should mind your own business. Even if she loses all that money, it is still hers. She is just a silly girl

with a lot of money, so you should just let her be!”

Elise felt that the last sentence made sense, so she said, “Correct. I don’t have anything but money and I

don’t like keeping it in my pocket, so the only way for me to be happy is to spend it!”

She was able to shut everyone up with her outrageous statement.

However, as soon as she was done speaking, Kenneth rudely interrupted, “Miss Sinclair, I really admire

your bold personality. Is it possible for us to exchange our experience on failures?”

She immediately narrowed her eyes, filling them with murderous intent.

It was clear from her expression that she would kill Kenneth if he continued down that path.

Upon seeing that, Melody was afraid that Kenneth might actually die in Elise’s hands, so she quickly

cleared her throat and reminded, “It’s time to go in.”

It was only then that Kenneth withdrew his flirtatious gaze and composed himself before resuming to his

usual indifferent expression. “I know.” He turned toward Elise again and murmured, “I’ll wait for you

inside.”

With that, he went inside while a smiling Melody nodded at Elise before following him inside.

Elise was left there shaking her head in regret. A woman like her doesn’t deserve that scumbag of a

man!

As the entrance of the inner hall was opened, no one else cared about what Elise was doing, so they

stood in readiness before walking in at the same time.

Of course, Ziggy was also among the crowd and when he met her, he didn’t forget to provoke her again.

“Since you are so confident in your abilities, why don’t you just stay outside and use the jadeite from

these low-grade stones to beat me?”

However, Elise looked at him as though she was looking at an idiot. “Do you own this building? I don’t

think you have the right to forbid me from entering.” After rolling her eyes at him, she paused for a

moment and looked around before raising her brows. “Why did the Carnegie Family send only you here

for such a huge event?

Ziggy felt a hint of danger coming from her, so he countered, “How is this any of your business?”

Without answering him, she spread her hands and quickly went in with Tom.

The gemstones in the inner hall were displayed in a much more organized fashion than those in the

outer hall. Even though the inner hall was twice as large as the outer hall, the amount of gemstones

displayed here was only half of what was displayed in the outer hall. Every stone was displayed as

though it was a work of art, and the base was listed with the label and price of the gemstone.

The staff members here also had their own specialized uniform accompanied with headphones and

pagers. There were also a lot of bodyguards in the hall, which showed the difference in value between

the inner and outer hall.

The lights inside were also a little more professional as there were special searchlights set up next to the

gemstones for guests to pick up and shine the stones.

Even someone as calm as Melody couldn’t help but feel excited.

However, there were two exceptions—Ziggy and Elise.

The former was the last one to enter the hall but after taking a few steps inside, he stopped and scanned

the whole place with a contemptuous gaze, having no intentions of walking in any further.

Meanwhile, Elise stood aside casually, looking bored and impatient, as if she wasn’t focused at all.

To others, however, she was acting rather self-defeating. Since she knew that she would lose, she wasn’t

putting any effort into anything.

Tom was one of those people who saw it that way.

He wanted to be a good advisor to Elise, so he took the initiative to go up to her and ask, “Miss Sinclair,

do you want me to teach you while you pick the stones? If we don’t do it sooner, all the good stones will

be taken.”

“Okay.” She nodded her head thoughtfully. The next second, she turned around and headed out. “I’m

tired. I’m going back to sleep.”

“Alright… What?!” Tom was left dumbfounded. When he turned around, Elise had already disappeared

through the door.

Oh my god! Why do I have such an unreliable boss?! It looks like I have no other choice. I can only rely

on myself at the moment.

Tom clenched his fists and rushed into the crowd, acting as if he had nothing to lose.

Soon, the morning had passed.

After wandering around for a while, Elise felt a bit hungry, so she went to a restaurant outside the venue

to eat.

The showroom in Dukethorn was all right, but it lacked infrastructure and restaurants, so it was easy to

bump into someone when eating.

After ordering her food, Elise waited in her seat while the people at the table next to her chatted

feverishly.

“Hey, did you hear that a silly girl with tons of money has a bet with Ziggy? I can’t believe that she began

choosing from the stones in the outer hall when the event started. What a newbie!”

“Really? What is the result of their bet?”

“I think that woman already chose a gemstone, but Ziggy hasn’t made his move yet.”

“Are you sure? It’s understandable if that silly woman couldn’t pick one out, but how could Ziggy… Does

that mean all the good stuff is taken?”

“How the hell do I know? Ziggy is acting a bit weird this time!”

“I don’t think it’s as complicated as you think it is. Ziggy is interested in that woman, so he wants to play it

safe.”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know? The main prize of their bet is that if Ziggy wins, that woman will have to be his bedmate

for a week. If it was me, I’ll definitely satisfy her as much as I can. By then, I’ll have both the money and

the woman. Ha!”

Just as the man was getting excited, a porcelain bowl suddenly fell on his head as the sticky stew inside

spilled on his face.

“What the f*ck? Who is the idiot who did this? Can’t you see that I’m sitting here?!” The man stood up

abruptly and wiped his face before glaring at the person who threw the bowl.

While holding a cup with one hand and the other naturally hanging at the side of his body, Kenneth

uttered with a cold and indifferent expression, “It was an accident.”

The man was instantly rendered speechless.

He accidentally spilled the whole thing right above me?

Immediately, the dirtied man was infuriated as his suit was a custom-made one, and it would waste his

time when he went to change to another one back in his hotel. By then, he would have missed a lot of

precious gemstones, which was a loss he wanted someone to be responsible for.

“You’re definitely here to cause trouble. Don’t you have eyes?!” The man bared his teeth fiercely while

clenching his fists. “You better kneel down and apologize to me; otherwise, I won’t let you walk out of this

shop with both your legs intact!”

The man was obviously born in Dukethorn as he had an oppressive aura, thinking that no one would

dare to offend him on his own turf.

“Is that so?” Kenneth smirked. “Do as you please, then.”

Immediately, the man’s eyes widened in anger. “You smug b*stard! You asked for this!”

After that, he raised his fists and launched himself at Kenneth.

Just as the man’s fist was about to collide with Kenneth’s face, Kenneth suddenly moved aside to avoid

his punch before reaching out to engulf the man’s entire fist.

Then, he swung his other hand and smashed a glass straight at the man’s face.

As pieces of glass fell to the floor, the water was splashed on the man’s face, washing away remnants of

the stew.

“Let me go!” the man screamed in pain.

“I’ve washed your face for you. Are you satisfied?” Kenneth questioned with an eyebrow raised.

“Pfft!” Suddenly, a quirky giggle was heard.
