Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 779 Aren’t You Going to Visit Your Fiancée?

“Mr. Joslin.” Jamie greeted Benjamin politely. “I wish you a long life full of happiness and fortune.”

Benjamin turned around and took a closer look at Jamie’s face, which he tried but failed to place. “And

who might you be?”

“I’m Keller Group’s general manager, Jamie Keller. It is my honor to stand a chance to celebrate your

birthday with you.” Jamie reacted humbly, thinking he should take the moral high ground in response to

the older man’s forgetfulness. I have a bigger fish to fry, so I must see past this minor frustration.

Otherwise, how am I supposed to run such a huge company?

“Grandpa.” Elise suddenly showed up at that moment. When Jamie saw her, he instantly understood

why he was invited to Benjamin’s birthday feast. Then, the two of them greeted each other by

exchanging eye contact.

“Do you guys know each other?” Benjamin skeptically looked at Jamie, suspecting that he was his

grandson-in-law and that ‘Anastasia’ had been hiding from him.

“Didn’t I tell you I’m currently writing a new ? This man is my new employer, Jamie Keller, and he

is a nice guy,” Elise explained.

“Your new employer?” Benjamin was seen with a haughty look on his face as he continued to fix his

gaze on Jamie. After sizing Jamie up, he said something that would leave the others stunned the next

second. “Can I be one of Keller Group’s shareholders if I’m paying your company a capital sum of one

billion?”

“Excuse me?” Jamie was rendered speechless, wondering how a writer could be so well off.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Keller. My grandfather is just kidding.” Elise then gently pulled Benjamin’s sleeve. “Keep

a low profile, would you, Grandpa?”

“Why didn’t you talk to me before you took on the job? Your uncles could have just started a company

for you to publish your s.” Benjamin expressed his helplessness, looking askance at Jamie in an

unhappy manner. “If you work for someone from our family, you could write as you please without

anyone breathing down your neck. After all, it would break my heart if some heartless employer took

advantage of you.”

In that instant, Jamie immediately caught on to the entire situation, realizing that Benjamin was actually

just picking at him. Then, he raised his eyebrows and awkwardly chuckled. “You’re funny, Mr. Joslin.”

Wow, I didn’t know her grandfather was such a badass. It looks like she is out of my league.

In the meantime, Benjamin decided to ease up on Jamie, thinking he wouldn’t be difficult for his

granddaughter to get along with. “Give us your name card. Her uncles will approach you to discuss the

cooperation details soon.”

“Alright.” Jamie agreed humbly, secretly winking at ‘Anastasia’ without Benjamin noticing it to thank her

for her kindness.

On the other hand, Adelpha, who happened to emerge from the corner, saw Jamie winking at

‘Anastasia’. Despite her jealousy and frustration, there was nothing she could do because she was

afraid of what Jamie would do with the voice recording he had threatened her with earlier.

Nevertheless, she simply couldn’t stand seeing the cocky look on Elise’s face as she paced back and

forth restlessly. Then, an idea sprang to her mind while she reached for her phone and dialed a

number. “It’s me. Anastasia is back, so aren’t you going to visit your fiancée?”

…

As the celebration went on, Benjamin continued to chat with Elise non-stop. “If it were up to me, I’d say

it’s better for you to move away from the White Family. I’ll build you a new home so you won’t have to

live with those idiotic b*stards anymore.”

“I know you’re doing this for my own good, Grandpa, but they’re going to own my mother’s house once

I move out of there. I promise that I’ll move out, but not before I take care of some matters.” Elise didn’t

reject Benjamin’s offer outright.

Benjamin smiled without saying anything else. Finally, my granddaughter has grown up. At that

moment, his train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a man’s voice.

“Annie.”

He looked up and shifted his gaze to the direction of the source of the voice, knitting his eyebrows the

moment he saw who it was. Damn! It’s this b*stard again! As he was about to send the guards to stop

the man, he was worried that ‘Anastasia’ wouldn’t want to leave his side. Therefore, he sent his guards

away from the checkpoint, only to be disappointed when he saw how the unwanted visitor took

advantage of that opportunity.

The next moment, the man walked up to them and started confessing to Elise sincerely. “It’s so good to

see you finally see you back, Annie. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you all this time!”

As she heard the man’s response, Elise was overwhelmed by wild imaginations in her mind, thinking

the man before her must be Anastasia’s fiancé, Edmond. Anastasia broke up with Edmond because

she realized he had been cheating on her with Adelpha before she went abroad, yet he still has the

cheek to show up here.

“Somebody. Please show this man the way out of here.” Worried that Anastasia might have a change

of heart, Benjamin quickly took the liberty to show Edmond the door. As soon as the older man finished

his words, a few bodyguards came closer to him.

“Come with me, Annie. I have something to say to you.”

Edmond calmly took a step forward and seized Elise’s wrist before turning back to the exit. However,

he felt a strong resistance as if Elise’s feet were glued to the ground as she remained still, no matter

how hard he tried to pull her.

Then, he turned around in confusion. “What’s wrong, girl? We once told each other that we’re going to

fight for what we want alongside each other, didn’t we?”

“Are you done with your pipe dream?” Elise impatiently shook off his hand. “Look at where the Joslin

Family is now before you take a look at yourself. Give me a reason why you’re worth my time for me to

stay by your side.”

With a stiff expression on his face, Edmond replied, “But you said you’d stay by my side until the day I

become successful and never look down on me.”

“If wealth is what we’re talking about, a few years of effort can get you to where you want to be, in order

to be level with our family; but if we’re talking about our mental welfare, the same cannot be said. So,

I’d say the sooner we see through the truth, the better it is for both of us.” Elise tried to make her point

euphemistically.

“Are you trying to break our oath?” A cunning look flashed across Edmond’s face shortly before the

atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.

In the meantime, Danny had just arrived at the venue, whereupon he asked for a glass of red wine and

adjusted the earpiece and camera with him. As he blended into the crowd, he said, “Alexander, I don’t

remember any association between us and the Joslin Family. Are you sure we’re not going to be

treated as gate-crashers here?” Danny asked his brother over the phone.

“No, I’m not,” Alexander answered honestly. “If you don’t feel like carrying on in this mission, it’s still not

too late to change your mind.”

“Relax. I didn’t say anything about giving up.” Danny picked up his pace and joined the party just when

he saw Edmond harassing Elise. “Is that Miss White from the Joslin Family? It looks like she is in

trouble.” Danny then looked around him and caught a glimpse of someone familiar. “Jamie is here too.”

“That’s Mr. Joslin’s maternal granddaughter,” Alexander replied coldly. “Now, move your camera toward

Jamie.” After all, Anastasia was just standing right in front of Jamie.

“Okay.” Danny straightened his body. “By the way, why did you come to me instead of Brendan for

help?”

Alexander was speechless at first but managed to quickly brush it off with a reason. “Well, you’re more

trustworthy.”

“Haha. That’s what I thought too.” Danny smiled and added, “Dude, I think I’m in love. I feel like—”

“Shut up!”

“Oh, okay…”

On the other hand, Edmond began to grow frustrated as he reached for his phone. Not long after that,

Anastasia’s heartfelt confession echoed through every corner of the place during the party. “You and I

are meant for each other forever and ever, Edmond. I swear that I will not marry any other man besides

you, and god shall punish me should I break this promise.”

“Ugh…” Danny remarked sarcastically. “What’s wrong with Miss Joslin? I can’t believe she fell in love

with a man like this one.”

“Her last name is White,” Alexander said helplessly.
