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.”
