Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 446

All Because of You!

Although Addison was always brave, she couldn’t help but recoil when she saw the dead man right in
front of her. Quietly, she retreated behind Elise, who was pursing her lips with a weighty expression as
she was unable to determine what happened. One thing she was certain was that Alexander wouldn’t kill
an innocent man. So, did Reuben say something that triggered him, or did Alexander simply decide to
take things into his own hands?

In the meantime, at Griffith Residence, Madeline, who couldn’t reach Alexander’s phone, dialed Maya’s
number.

“What is it?” Maxwell happened to be the one accepting the call. His voice was innately low and hoarse,
so there was no telling what emotion he was feeling right then.

“Oh, Mr. Dahlen. It’s me, Mrs. Griffith. I heard that Maya fell very ill, and I happened to know two pretty
outstanding doctors. If you don’t mind, I’ll send them over to check on Maya soon,” Madeline gratifyingly
stated.

“It’s fine.” In a stiff tone, he replied, “She’s recovered.”

After a brief pause, he strangely added, “It’s all thanks to you, Mrs. Griffith. Elise said that she was only
willing to treat my daughter because of the Griffiths.”

Elise treated her? She sounded as if she abhorred Maya on the phone, so why would she… After a
moment of stupefaction, Madeline swiftly collected her feelings and responded with a pleasing tone.
“That’s great to hear! If only you knew how concerned my husband and I were. I’ve always seen her like
my future daughter-in-law, you know?”

“Yes, yes, I know. Since you’ve already gotten a grasp on the situation, I have to excuse myself as there
is business to attend to. Farewell.”



“Thump.”

The rest of Madeline’s bootlicking words had yet to leave her throat, and she was already hearing beeps
from an ended call. Thus, she could only hang up. After putting down her phone, she started pondering
on Maxwell’s words, realizing that Elise had handled the situation without her knowing. This girl, despite
her uncivilized mouth, is actually that kind? Or have I been too harsh on her?

…

Alexander calmly scanned outside the room before withdrawing his hands. He pulled out his
handkerchief and began steadily wiping. “He bit his tongue,” he serenely stated.

“We might still be able to save him.” Claude dashed over and grabbed Reuben’s hand to check on his
pulse, only to reach a disappointing result. “He’s dead,” he helplessly announced as he released his
hand.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. The group went out and found Clement
expressionlessly suppressing Jackson and dragging him toward the door.

“Sir, I caught this man attempting to break into Miss Sinclair’s room,” Clement coolly claimed.

“Let him go,” Alexander softly ordered.

“Hear that? Unhand me!” Jackson shouted as he shook himself out of Clement’s hands.

“Say, Captain Gleeman, you’re one of the government’s men. Why are you being so sneaky in here?”
Claude curiously quizzed.

“Mind your own business.” Jackson shot him a cold glare before turning to Elise. “If you’re not guilty, why
would you need so many men guarding the house?”



“I arranged it,” Alexander sedately answered. “Elise is currently the most rightful heir to the Anderson
Family, and there are too many people who want to set out and harm her. So I’ve arranged this only to
protect her and her family.”

Jackson, despite the answer, turned away with his unbelieving look.

Glimpsing at the gap between Alexander and Addison, however, he caught sight of a figure being tied to
a chair in the room. Intuitively, he shoved them away and rushed into the room. He lifted the figure’s
head, and after identifying the man to be Reuben, he checked on his breath. Shocked in dismay,
Jackson turned to the door. “You people slaughtered a helpless student?!”

“That, we can explain,” Elise said.

“What is there to explain? He just reported that you are the murderer this afternoon, and now he’s
stopped breathing, under your roof. Tell me, what is there to explain?!”

Devastated, Jackson glanced at Alexander as he unhanded Reuben before walking to Elise. Then, he
grabbed her arm and was about to walk out. Out of nowhere, a pair of massive arms ferociously grabbed
him, to which he turned around only to meet Alexander’s piercing gaze.

“Alexander!” Jackson maniacally screamed. “You’re willing to go beyond your limits for the sake of one
woman?”

“She is my limit,” Alexander emotionlessly remarked. “He died because of me. Unhand her.”

“And what if I don’t?” All of Jackson’s beliefs shattered. Having been best of friends with Alexander for so
long, he had never expected a moment where they would have to rival each other. But now, Alexander
was willing to stick his neck out for Elise and murder a witness. He couldn’t idly watch as his dearest
friend walked toward his own ruin. Whether as a friend or a policeman, he was obliged to bring Elise to
justice.



“You have three seconds to unhand her. After that, I’ll make you.” Alexander’s intonation was ever-
intimidating. The two gazed at each other in the eyes. None of them was willing to compromise with each
other. A brief moment after those words, Alexander tensed his brows and exerted force on his hands,
twisting Jackson’s arm before landing a kick on his chest.

The kick sent Jackson crashing into the door frame, and he felt a stinging pain on his head and back.
Nonetheless, he crawled back up as if nothing happened. Raising his clenched fist, he charged at Elise.
“It’s all you… It’s all because of you!”

Alexander, who was rubbing Elise’s arm, heard Jackson’s voice and immediately, a piercing light flashed
across his eyes. Swiftly, he drew his leg and was about to counter Jackson.

Nevertheless, Elise’s movements were quicker than his. Before he could land a hit, a needle flew past
his vision, projecting forward rapidly and finally landing and probing on Jackson’s neck.

As expected, the moment Jackson clutched his own neck, his legs turned into jelly as he collapsed
before the rest. Despite his partial paralysis, he glared at them with his hateful eyes, obviously upset.

“Captain Gleeman.” Elise calmly stared at him. “I don’t mind the prejudice you hold against me. But I
strongly believe that you should trust Alexander. He’s no criminal nor will he become an accomplice. And
I wouldn’t do anything to betray his trust. Since you’re so determined that I’m the murderer and have
seen the truth you wanted to see, from now on, you shall stay here and observe carefully whether I’m
whomever you think I am.” Having said that, she turned to Clement. “Sorry, Clement, but can you clear a
room out for Captain Gleeman?”
