Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 253,Coolest Girl in Town
Quentin then scanned across his surroundings before stopping his gaze at Elise and Alexander. Instantly, his face turned much
gentler. Seeing that, Maxwell turned to the direction he was looking at, but had no idea what he was thinking. “Mr. Fassbender,
your arrival truly brings delight to the mass. Shall we head upstairs for a rest, where no one can disturb you?” Straightforwardly,
Quentin refused his offer. “No need, Mr. Dahlen. I’m just a normal guest like any other. Don’t be so courteous with me.” Maxwell
obsequiously laughed. “There’s no courtesy, Mr. Fassbender.
Just my obligation as the host.” At that moment, Maya, who was on the dance floor, noticed Quentin, who was looking in her
direction. Swiftly, she straightened her back and danced more gracefully, hinting at her dance partner to take control of the dance
floor together. Consequently, every other dancer stopped dancing and gave them the spotlight. With that, only two pairs of
dancers remained—Maya and her partner, as well as Elise and Alexander.
Although Elise was confused, she didn’t stop her steps given that the music had yet to stop. Alexander then wrapped his arm
around her waist and whispered, “Let’s leave after this one.” “Okay,” she answered, and followed Alexander’s tempo as they
continued to dance. The next second, she noticed Quentin, who was standing outside the dance floor. Thrilled at his arrival, she
gave him a big smile, to which Quentin responded with a much more benign, subtle grin. Although Maxwell had noticed his
change, he still didn’t manage to find out what caused it.
He tracked Quentin’s vision to her own daughter, who was on the dance floor, and instinctively assumed that Quentin’s sudden
change was caused by Maya. Instantly, there was an uncontrollable joy in his heart, which he suppressed as he calmly uttered,
“Mr. Fassbender, this is my daughter, Maya. I’ll have her walk you through the surroundings later.” Quentin turned to him. “Your
daughter’s quite the dancer, Mr. Dahlen.”
Hearing that, Maxwell seemed to have an epiphany. Is he into my daughter? Although Quentin was over forty, he did a fine job
maintaining his youthful look. One would assume he was only in his early thirties. And Maya was twenty years old this year. Even
though there was quite a big gap between their ages, the man in question was the Quentin Fassbender. Therefore, out of
courtesy, trivial details such as age could be easily overlooked. Bearing that in mind, Maxwell had a hard time containing his
excitement. “Thank you, Mr. Fassbender.

The girl’s been to dancing classes since she was a kid. It seems her hard work has paid off!” Unaware of his underlying
intentions, Quentin politely praised, “Yes, she’s a very talented dancer indeed.” Finished, he turned away. In that instant,
Madeline walked over to him from among the crowd and greeted, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Fassbender. I’m Madeline Bowen from
Griffith Group.” As Quentin was about to leave, he halted his steps when he heard the company name. He then turned to
Madeline and had roughly figured out her identity. “Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Griffith.”
Before Madeline approached him, she was feeling somewhat uneasy, fearing that a giant figure like him wouldn’t respond to her.
However, a pleasant surprise was that he would care to entertain her. “Mr. Fassbender, I’ve heard that you’re planning to
establish subsidiaries within the country. Not sure if it’s true or false, but I would like to tell you that Griffith Group has great
advantages that could benefit your expansion.
If you like that, perhaps you could consider collaborating with our company.” Quentin nodded. “It’s true that Griffith Group excels
in this aspect. Each of the young masters of the Griffiths is outstanding, especially Alexander. He’s really an exceptional young
man.” Hearing his compliment for her son, she was overjoyed. She then hastily replied, “To think that Mr. Fassbender knows
Alex! What an honor!” “It’s nothing, Mrs. Griffith. Young Master Alex truly is one of a kind!” Quentin turned to the dance floor,
looking at Alexander and Elise with his admiring eyes.
“Besides, I admire his extraordinary vision. We shall work together in the future when we get the chance.” Never had Madeline
expected things to develop so smoothly. “That’s great news!” Having said that, she turned to her son, but was immediately
angered when she saw Elise. “Oh, Alex! He’s good at everything, and never let me and his father worry about him. Among all

things, he just had to be stubborn at picking his partner.” From those words, Quentin sensed something odd. The woman was
blatantly insulting his own daughter! “That’s a pretty biased statement, is it not, Mrs. Griffith?
Young people nowadays are into romantic freedom. Now is no longer what it used to be. Arranged marriage is nothing but a
matter of the past.” Failing to acknowledge the message in his words, Madeline hastily replied, “Even so, homogamy still
matters! The Griffiths would become a joke to society if that country girl without a solid family background were to get into our
family!” Ah, so that’s how it is. She doesn’t think Elise is worth her family. “Are you perhaps talking about Young Master Alex’s
fiancée, Mrs. Griffith?” “That’s exactly who I’m talking about!
Mr. Fassbender, you can laugh all you want, because even I am utterly displeased with that woman. Unfortunately, it was the
Griffiths’ old man who had determined the marriage. Now that he has passed away, I was thinking if I could revoke the
engagement. I’ll be satisfied if Alex finds someone who at least meets the standards of our family.” Hearing that, Quentin
mocked, “I totally agree with you, Mrs. Griffith. Indeed, you have to find someone of your own standards. In this case, you may
have overestimated yourself.” Overestimated? Baffled, as she was about to quiz him, she realized that Quentin looked rather
displeased compared to earlier.
She grew frustrated, not knowing what she said that upset him. “I’m just thinking out loud, Mr. Fassbender. About our
collaboration...” “We’ll talk about it later. It’ll depend on Alexander’s performance.” If Alexander does Elise even the slightest
wrong one day, he’ll be getting it from me. Meanwhile, the song playing on the dance floor stopped. Elise eagerly walked out of
the dance floor, to which Alexander questioned her exhilaration. “What made you so excited?” She explained, “My godfather’s
here! I wanna see him!” Reminded by her words, he turned to Quentin, who was apparently right beside Madeline.
For some reason, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. “I’ll come with you.” And so, both
of them walked toward Quentin. Elise, having noticed Madeline’s presence, instantly felt nervous, and her steps grew hesitant.

“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked out of concern. As she was about to answer, Quentin waved at her. She then smilingly replied,
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
Thereupon, they headed toward Quentin. Nonetheless, this time, instead of calling out “Papa,” Elise greeted, “Uncle Quentin.”
Hearing her addressing himself as that, Quentin scowled in confusion, though he was able to grasp the reason for her change.
Someone had been bullying his daughter, and was about to receive their payback. He could allow anything, even the worst, to
happen to himself, but to have anyone bully her daughter was strictly forbidden.
“You’re here too, Ellie! What a coincidence!” Madeline was dumbfounded. “You know each other, Mr. Fassbender?” Quentin
forthrightly stated, “Why, I’ve been looking after the girl as she grew.” At the revelation, Madeline’s face blanched, realizing that
she had been flagrantly criticizing the girl right in front of him. Hell, they knew each other?
