Coolest Girl in Town

Joey froze for a moment and lifted her head to look at Elise, who winked at her. She instantly understood

the situation and waved the check at Faye. “Thanks for the tip, Miss Faye. You are really generous!”

“What nonsense are you saying? This is not a tip for her! The money is to be used to buy the red jade!”

Faye explained anxiously.

“What? Are you kidding me? This isn’t funny at all, Miss Faye. I remember at the auction, Elise didn’t

even sell it when others offered it at 100 million. Are you going to use some sweet words to make Elise

suffer a loss?”

Faye could no longer cope with the situation alone, so she quickly mentioned Austin’s name to support

her. “Yoona is a part of the Anderson Family, so her belongings are also owned by the family. Apart from

that, this is what Dad wants too!”

While she was speaking, she shot a look of disgust toward Joey. This brat wants to get a share of

everything! When I’m free, I’m going to teach her a good lesson. Her sharp words always make me lose

my composure in front of everyone!

Her initial plan was to force Elise to sell the red jade to her at a low price in front of all the guests.

However, now that she had no choice, she had to let Austin take the responsibility.

“That is our father’s intention too?” Elise chuckled coldly as she looked at Austin steadily. “Do you really

mean to give your biological daughter 10 million to gloss this matter over?”

Austin heaved a sigh before he said thoughtfully, “Yoyo, just give it to her. If you are still not satisfied, I

can arrange for you to have another 100 million, alright?”

“No.” Elise’s face darkened immediately. “No one can buy the red jade from me. I have enough money to

begin with and I’ve already made a deal to give this to Mr. Shaw from Shaw’s Jewelry Co.. Even for such

a small piece of jade like what you are seeing now, I’m still going to give it away.”

“The Anderson Family can help you to terminate your deal with Shaw’s Jewelry Co..” Faye gave a

cunning smile.

Elise was so furious that she let out a snort of laughter. “Is this how you do business? You don’t take your

word seriously and just terminate the contract whenever you like it?”

Faye thrusted her chest arrogantly. “The way I do business has always been putting the profits of the

Anderson Family first and making decisions that are the most favorable to our family.”

“How selfless of you.” Elise’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Why don’t you hand over the jade worth 5

million that you received last time? Set an example that I can follow. If you hand it over, I will naturally

follow suit.”

“You—” Faye was so furious that she gritted her teeth. Elise still has the guts to mention that jade? She

was the one who hired people to steal my jade, and she even accused me of stealing it myself! How dare

she take this matter out to attack my weak points! It’s all her fault that the police in Landred City thought I

was a lunatic! Even now, I can’t even find the jade. How do I even hand it over?

“Please don’t change the topic. We are now talking about you now. It’s fine if you don’t listen to my

advice, but are you going to defy our father’s wishes and disrespect him as soon as you return?”

Elise smiled at her condescendingly as she said meaningfully, “Hah! I’m not the only one who defies him.

In fact, I want to thank you for starting the tradition, dear sister!”

“Stop diverting the topic here. Answer me clearly—are you going to hand the red jade over?” Faye

looked at Elise fiercely as she had formulated some plans in her mind.

If Elise handed the red jade over, Faye would be credited as the person who brought a highly valued

asset to the Anderson Family.

However, if Elise rejected her request, she could use this reason to further aggravate the shaky

relationship between Elise and the Anderson Family, making Elise unable to receive her fair share of the

family assets. Even if Elise has some special powers tonight, I will be the ultimate winner. This is the

price Elise has to pay for ruining my plans repeatedly. So what if she’s born into a good family? She can’t

win against my foolproof plan, and she will remain defeated by me.

At this exact moment, the huge screen that was temporarily built in the garden suddenly buzzed alive. It

let out a shrill sound in the beginning before it gradually softened.

As the electricity went off, the Anderson Pharmaceuticals’ promotional video that had been playing on

the screen suddenly disappeared.

Just as the technical team went over to fix it, the screen suddenly brightened again.

At the same time, the promotional video had been changed to a powerpoint slide that was set on

autoplay mode and at a comfortable pace for the crowd to read.

The contents of the powerpoint was the evidence of Faye using Anderson Pharmaceuticals to

collaborate with Jordan to conduct some illegal activities.

From the evidence, one could tell that it was normal for her to commit money laundering for mafia

bosses behind the stakeholders’ back, and it was also beyond normal for her to renege on her word.

However, apart from forcing others to buy the company products, what was the most shocking was that

she embezzled the company funds several times. The sum of the money she had embezzled was almost

a billion and the most recent case happened three days ago, where she transferred 100 million from the

company’s account in two transactions.

In other words, Faye was not as selfless as she portrayed herself to be. On the contrary, she was a gold-

digger who kept transferring money from the Anderson Family into her own pocket while ruining their

reputation in the process.

Upon seeing this, Austin, who had been siding her all this while, could not help glaring at her. “You better

explain yourself!”

Faye’s expression instantly changed as blood drained from her face. She was so nervous that she

gulped, and her eyes anxiously darted everywhere as she thought about the excuses that might be able

to cover this as well as the alibis that could convince the present stakeholders.

“Dad, this is not true! Someone is trying to frame me! This is clear as day that someone is trying to

accuse me of something that I have not done! They deliberately showed this at such an occasion to

destroy the Anderson Family’s reputation! All these years, I have been supporting the Anderson Family

so that we won’t be defeated by our competitors. Because of this, they have fabricated such lies to ruin

our relationship!”

Austin’s anger abated rather significantly when he heard that.

After all, the contents of the powerpoint were just a one-sided accusation that was not credible. However,

he knew that Faye had left some loose ends indeed.
