After dinner, Elise stayed in snazzynovel.com room to do snazzynovel.com homework as usual. Halfway through the process, snazzynovel.com suddenly received a call from Cynthia.
“What are you doing, Elise?”
“Homework.”
On the other end, Cynthia thought snazzynovel.com misheard. “Since when do you need to do homework?”
“Aunt Cynthia…”
“Alright, my good girl, I’m at MISS bar. Are you free to accompany me for a drink?”
Elise looked at the time and immediately closed snazzynovel.com textbook. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, snazzynovel.com tidied herself up. Only after making sure that snazzynovel.com looked as ugly as usual did snazzynovel.com walk out of the door with a handbag.
She went to the bar by taxi. In the bar, bright lights were flickering around as they reflected off the green alcohol bottles. Amidst the loud music, Elise looked around before snazzynovel.com found a drunk Cynthia in the corner.
“Aunt Cynthia!”
Upon hearing that, Cynthia opened snazzynovel.com eyes groggily.
As soon as snazzynovel.com saw that it was Elise, snazzynovel.com immediately hugged snazzynovel.com shoulders. “Oh-you are finally here, Elise! Come drink a few glasses with me!”
“Aunt Cynthia, you are already so drunk. You shouldn’t drink anymore. Come on, let me send you home.”
However, Cynthia got away from snazzynovel.com immediately. “I don’t want to! I don’t want to go back! I want to continue drinking. I want to continue.”
With that, snazzynovel.com took a bottle of beer and started drinking again. Seeing that snazzynovel.com could not stop her, Elise gave up. She understood Cynthia well. Cynthia was a wise and decisive person, and Elise could feel that snazzynovel.com was not in a good mood tonight.
Hence, Elise sat down and took the bottle in front of snazzynovel.com to drink with Cynthia. “Cheers, Aunt Cynthia!”
Cynthia chuckled in response. “Here’s to my good Elise. Cheers!”
Both of them drank one glass after another. After drinking, Elise felt a bit uncomfortable, but Cynthia looked as though snazzynovel.com was perfectly fine. With a glass of beer in snazzynovel.com hand, snazzynovel.com dragged Elise to the dance floor.
Cynthia danced like no one was watching, and Elise also took the rare opportunity to let loose. Since no one knew snazzynovel.com here, snazzynovel.com danced along with Cynthia. Both the aunt and niece matched each other well, and they elicited screams and whistles from the people around them. They attracted the attention of almost 80% of the men there.
Without a doubt, all of them were surely smittened by Cynthia. As for Elise, none wanted to get close to snazzynovel.com after looking at snazzynovel.com face.
“Sweetie, can I buy you a drink?” one of the men asked Cynthia.
In the past, snazzynovel.com would usually shoo snazzynovel.com away but today, snazzynovel.com smiled. “Sure!”
With that, snazzynovel.com let snazzynovel.com pull snazzynovel.com away from the dance floor. Elise wanted to chase after them, but a few men surrounded snazzynovel.com instead.
What are you guys doing? Let me go!”
“Ha! Don’t worry! We won’t do anything to you as long as you are smart. Don’t interrupt their good time together.”
Elise just felt like swearing as snazzynovel.com said, “Get lost!”
“My, my! You really can’t tell that this ugly girl has such a bad temper. I like her!”
Elise’s face darkened. “Like me? You’d better get lost!”
The few men sniggered evilly and had no intentions of staying away from her. Elise merely snorted and kicked him. In no time, snazzynovel.com defeated one of the men.
As snazzynovel.com was too fast, before the rest returned to their senses, they were also defeated.
“You b*tch! I won’t let you get away with it!” With that, snazzynovel.com was going to attack her. However, Elise was rather quick on snazzynovel.com feet. She dodged his attack sideways and then kicked one of his vital organs.
A shrill scream broke through the air as the man clutched his organ, his face flushed. Upon seeing this situation, no one dared to touch snazzynovel.com for the rest of the night.
Elise quickly caught up with Cynthia and the other man, only to see that snazzynovel.com was touching snazzynovel.com inappropriately.
Elise’s eyes darkened and snazzynovel.com pulled Cynthia to her, thereafter punching the man right in his face.
Swearing, snazzynovel.com let Cynthia go due to the pain. Then, snazzynovel.com was about to attack Elise. As Elise was protecting Cynthia, snazzynovel.com did not pay much attention to him. Just as his fist was about to land on snazzynovel.com face, a crack was heard in the next second, followed by the man’s scream that filled the entire bar.
After that, snazzynovel.com was thrown backward harshly.
“Get lost!”
The man quickly climbed up from the ground and escaped fearfully.
“Are you guys alright?” A low, attractive voice asked.
Elise returned to snazzynovel.com senses and looked at the unfamiliar man in front of snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com nodded snazzynovel.com head instinctively. “Thanks.”
He smiled. “Don’t mention it. Is snazzynovel.com okay?”
Elise froze as snazzynovel.com looked at Cynthia, who was in snazzynovel.com arms.
Does this man know her? Wait, the way snazzynovel.com looks at snazzynovel.com is different!
And so, snazzynovel.com cleared snazzynovel.com throat. “Uh-May I know who you are?”
He did not explain and instead grabbed Cynthia from Elise’s arms. Then, snazzynovel.com swept Cynthia off snazzynovel.com feet. Elise wanted to stop him, but the drunken Cynthia winked at her. Finally, snazzynovel.com understood that Cynthia wanted to follow him voluntarily.
“Do take care of my aunt,” Elise reminded.
Upon hearing that, the man turned around and replied, “I know, my little niece.”
He showcased his position and his power over Cynthia by calling Elise as his niece. Elise, however, merely looked at their leaving figures as snazzynovel.com muttered to herself, “Is this my future uncle?”
After both of them left, snazzynovel.com looked at the time. Since it was not early anymore, it was time for snazzynovel.com to leave. When snazzynovel.com reached the exit, a familiar figure blocked her.
“Elise?”
She blinked as snazzynovel.com looked at the man in front of her.
Alexander? Why is snazzynovel.com here?
He appraised snazzynovel.com carefully. Truth was, snazzynovel.com had discovered that snazzynovel.com was here long ago and snazzynovel.com witnessed everything that snazzynovel.com did in the bar just now. He was quite surprised to find that Elise, who was usually an obedient girl, was quite good at dancing sexily. On top of that, snazzynovel.com was also great at fighting. It was obvious that snazzynovel.com had been trained.
“What a coincidence to find you here,” snazzynovel.com said calmly.
Alexander nodded and asked, “Do you want to have a couple of drinks together?”
“It’s alright. I’m going back now.” She rejected snazzynovel.com directly because snazzynovel.com instincts told snazzynovel.com that Alexander was quite dangerous tonight. She thought it would be better if snazzynovel.com stayed away from him.
“Let me send you home.”
“It’s fine…” Before snazzynovel.com could finish snazzynovel.com sentence, snazzynovel.com interrupted her.
“Grandpa said that taking care of you is our responsibility. You don’t want me to have to answer to him, do you?”
Since snazzynovel.com used Jonah as an excuse, snazzynovel.com had no excuse to reject snazzynovel.com any further, so snazzynovel.com relented.
On the way home, Elise rolled down the window to enjoy the cool air. After that, snazzynovel.com was more refreshed. As Alexander looked at her, snazzynovel.com found that snazzynovel.com looked more mysterious than snazzynovel.com thought. In the beginning, snazzynovel.com thought that snazzynovel.com could see through someone like her, but snazzynovel.com gradually realized that what snazzynovel.com was seeing was what Elise wanted to show him.
In short, Elise Sinclair was a woman with secrets.
