Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 518 Transfer the Risk
As soon as Elise returned to her room, she opened the box that Celina gave her.
What Gabriel had said was true—other than a gown, there was a pair of high heels and some jewelry. It was apparent that
Celina’s intention was to give her a hand when she was in need.
Elise carefully checked each and every corner of all the items and even examined the box, yet she couldn’t find any problem with
them.
In the end, when she tried the gown, it looked surprisingly good on her as it accentuated her perfect figure.
Could it be that Celina has changed? After being thrown into an unfavorable situation at the mall, Celina has learnt that she won’t
be able to gain anything from going against me, so she has changed her strategy and now wants to seek peace instead?
Elise peered at her reflection in the mirror. She seemed elegant with a tinge of sexiness, looking gentle yet capable. The clothing
perfectly accentuated her beauty as a woman.
She had to admit that this was an impeccable piece of gown that would make the person who wore the attire the center of
attention, no matter where she was.
However, is Celina really so generous?
Elise soon denied that possibility when she thought of the fact that nobody would be happy when someone else snatched her
limelight when she was the main focus of the event. Therefore, without a doubt, there had to be a lurking danger that she had no
knowledge of at the moment.
After a few seconds of contemplation in a daze, something came to her in a flash of inspiration. She snapped her finger and
decided, “I know what to do. Since I can’t resolve the trouble, I’ll only have to transfer the risk!”
The next day, at the Anderson Residence, Faye dragged her drained body home. As soon as she stepped into the house, she
plopped on the couch and massaged her neck.
During the ceremony that took place the day before yesterday, the slides had exposed a lot of ugly news, which resulted in
Jackson detaining her and refusing to release her. He had managed to keep her in detention for 48 hours before she was freed.

Lying on the couch while staring at the ceiling, she recalled how close Jackson and Elise were with each other. That realization
made her expression cold.
Faye now remembered that she had once seen the police in Elise’s yard before this, which proved that Elise worked together
with them.
At that realization, she abruptly sat up as her expression became stern and wary. If that’s the case, the slides must be of Elise’s
doing. It must be her! That b*tch is finally starting to fight back to steal the family fortune from me. I won’t allow Elise’s plan to
succeed. The fact that the Anderson Family is still standing strong here is all because of my effort. How could she snatch
everything from me now that she has returned? That’s outrageous!
“Miss Faye? Miss Faye?”
“What do you want?!”
The maid, who had called Faye from one side, received a scolding that weakened her feet. She bowed her head and handed the
gift box to Faye with trembling hands and mumbled, “The butler from the Saunders Family sent this over yesterday. He said that
Miss Celina has personally picked this for you so that you could wear it at tonight’s banquet.”
“Banquet? What banquet?” Faye was puzzled.
“It’s Miss Celina’s birthday banquet,” the maid respectfully answered.
“Okay, I understand. Place it down and you may leave,” Faye calmly responded.
As a matter of fact, Celina’s birthday had slipped her mind. With the Anderson Family’s broad network, she would have burned
countless brain cells if she were to remember each and everyone’s birthday.
When the maid had left, she opened the gift box and her eyes brightened at the sight.
At first look, one could tell from the top-notched quality that it had been made by professionals. She touched the fabric as she
was unable to resist the temptation. Sure enough, the smooth and soft texture of the garment suggested that it was definitely of
the finest quality.
I never knew that Celina’s quite a generous person although she’s stupid. I bet that everyone won’t be able to take their eyes off
me when I show up in such a flawless gown. At least the time and effort I spent on giving Celina advice all this time is not in vain;
she finally did something useful.

As Elise had acquired the luxurious store in Athesea, Faye had no choice but to wear an outdated gown and embarrass herself
at the ceremony the day before yesterday. This time, Faye could finally redeem herself! Just you wait, Elise. This time, I’ll let
everyone see for themselves who among us is the real lady of the family!
...
That night, the event held at the triple A-class International Center was a minor gathering that consisted of enthusiasts of a niche
interest. The prerequisite condition to attend the event was that the participants had to be elites of their respective industries.
Hence, those who were lacking in status among the upper-class society or were not one of the world-class elites didn’t meet the
qualifications to be invited.
Outside the hall, a red carpet had stretched from the entrance to the curb with scrambling reporters standing at both sides.
The moment Kenneth alighted from the car, the cameras instantly lost control with its flashes and blinded him from all directions.
The host grinned and spoke in a perfect tone, “We can see that the person who is heading in our direction is the president of
Smith Co., Mr. Kenneth Bailey! Mr. Bailey has attended the event alone all these years. Will he give us a surprise this year?”
Upon hearing that, the young ladies of the wealthy families couldn’t help but slow down their pace at the front to intentionally
delay their entrances.
They thought that since he had been showing up without a date all these years, there shouldn’t be any surprises this year. All of
them hoped that they could be lucky enough to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Kenneth into the hall. They would die without
regrets if that were to happen.
Nonetheless, Kenneth didn’t catch up to them like how they had expected. After fastening the last button on his shirt, he turned
on his heel and chivalrously extended his hand to invite the other person out of the car.
All the ladies were astonished. Don’t tell me that Kenneth really came with a female date this time?
“No, that can’t happen! Maybe he brought his mother with him!” One of them tried to lie to herself in exasperation.
However, as soon as she said that, a fair, slender hand appeared from the car before Kenneth. The hand naturally rested on his
palm, and under his lead, the owner of that hand placed a foot on the ground. Her long, fair legs also had a complexion that was
as smooth as silk.

It was a young lady, which obviously indicated that she wasn’t Kenneth’s mother.
Everyone at the scene gasped and stared at them. Finally, a gorgeous young lady, who seemed as though she had just walked
out of a fairytale, slowly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
She wore an off-shoulder gown with her hair naturally cascading down her shoulders. When she slowly surveyed the crowd, she
reminded them of a poetic picture.
Her face was especially exquisite. She had a sharp nose bridge as well as boundless eyes that seemed to contain the universe,
and even her lips resembled a piece of artwork, whereby every arc and curvature were flawless. When she surveyed the
surroundings, her gaze revealed great confidence and composure, as though she was born a princess who was destined to
receive her subjects’ admiration.
Her looks were so stunning to the point that it made everyone who beheld her beauty learn about the beauty of nature; their very
definition of the term ‘beauty’ itself had been redefined. At the same time, she appalled them with the realization of how awful
their lives would be if they could no longer partake in such a stunning scene again in the future.
At that moment, even the photographers forgot to press the shutter. They raised their heads from behind the camera and stared
unblinkingly in the direction of the lady.
The longer they stared at her, the more they were able to understand why the ancient Lords were able to do something as
irrational as waging wars for the sake of the beauties.
Meanwhile, Elise, in fact, wasn’t accustomed to the excessive attention from the crowd and it even depressed her.
However, Kenneth complacently commented by her side, “I’m starting to regret the decision of inviting you to be my female date.”
“There’s no use crying over spilt milk now.” She suddenly grabbed his arm. “Since I’m here now, you have to keep your promise.”
