Beyond Justification,Coolest Girl in Town
“If I approve of her, doesn’t that mean I have to accept her?” When Madeline thought of this, she shook
her head vigorously. She just didn’t like Elise. The most important thing was still the decision Jonah
made in the first place. They hadn’t even met, yet they took a joke made between friends seriously.
Elise, especially, appeared looking so ugly, but she still got to choose one out of the five. At that time,
she was an ugly girl, so where did she get the courage from? “Godmother, don’t think about things so
absolutely. What if it’s not because of this matter?”
Although Maya was also anxious about this matter, they couldn’t afford to lose their heads now.
Madeline’s face was tense, and her brows were tightly furrowed. “If Quentin isn’t meeting me because
of this matter, then why did he invite me to dinner?” Other than that, Madeline couldn’t think of any
other reason. “Maybe Elise is just using him to get you to accept her. Godmother, let’s not get to the
worst conclusions. Go over there and see what happens. After all, different situations call for different
measures.” Maya reassured Madeline, but in fact, she was afraid too.
If she refuses to go, won’t it be obvious that she feels guilty? Madeline nodded, figuring that Maya
made sense. However, Madeline didn’t manage to meet Quentin. Quentin and Elise were waiting in the
private room while Alexander went home to pick up his mother. But as soon as he entered the house,
the servant told him, “Young Master Alex, Mrs. Griffith went out five minutes before you came back.”
Alexander didn’t expect that she would go to the appointment so early. As he drove out to chase after
his mother, he tried to call her. The phone rang on, but no one answered.
After calling twice, Alexander ran out of patience, so he sent her a voice message on WhatsApp. “Just
let me know if you’re going or not.” This way, he could at least give Quentin an explanation. However,
Alexander still didn’t receive a reply. Madeline heard the phone call and the voice message. She
wanted to reply, and she wanted to shout for help, but she couldn’t make a sound. “Mrs. Griffith, what
are you afraid of? I should be the one who’s afraid. Ever since I became part of the Griffith Family, you
just had to give me a look for me to be scared.
Now that Alexander has banished me, I can’t go back to the Griffith Residence, and I can’t appear in
front of you in broad daylight.” Seeing Madeline’s appearance, Matthew burst into laughter. Then, he
turned off Madeline’s mobile phone. Looking at the messages on the screen, Madeline was filled with
despair. At first, she was distrustful of Matthew, but now, what she felt was hatred and fear! But
Matthew didn’t care so much. He ordered his subordinate to start driving, and the car drove off at an
extremely high speed. … Meanwhile, Quentin and Elise were in the private room waiting for Alexander
and Madeline’s arrival. It was a rule not to order food when not everyone was present.
They began talking about the recent stock market and real estate, so Quentin asked, “When will you
hand in the design drawings? You’ve become lazy ever since you came to Athesea.” “I’m attending
school here, aren’t I? And last time, it wasn’t ideal to divulge my identity. But, Papa, since you’ve
brought it up, I should of course at least give you one design.” Knock knock! Quentin was drinking tea
when there was a knock on the door. Elise got up to open the door, only to see Madeline’s retreating
back. She came here but didn’t enter? What is she doing?
In any case, Elise couldn’t just be indifferent because this was a dinner her godfather organized, and
they invited Alexander’s mother. She went out and chased after her all the way to the toilet. If Madeline
had led her here, then she must have something to say to her. However, as soon as she entered the
bathroom, she backed away in fright, and she broke into a cold sweat. The last thing she expected was
to see Madeline lying in a pool of blood! “Mrs. Griffith! Mrs. Griffith!” Ignoring how scared she was, Elise
quickly helped Madeline up and reached out to shake her, but Madeline was already unconscious.
The blood filled her gaze, causing Elise’s heart to beat even faster. Feeling frantic, she gritted her teeth
and helped Madeline up, while at the same time used her phone to dial 911. It took time for 911 to
dispatch help. Initially, she wanted to bring Madeline out, but all she could see was the bright red blood.
She didn’t even know what happened to Madeline, so she couldn’t move rashly. She could only hold
the unconscious Madeline and wait for the arrival of help. She notified Alexander too, but his line was
busy. At this moment, a mocking laugh sounded from Alexander’s phone.
“Since ancient times, mother-in-laws have always been hard to handle. I really didn’t expect that just to
be with you, not only would Elise refuse my kind request, she even asked for her godfather’s help to kill
your mother. Tsk, tsk! The two of you are more ruthless than the other. You’re really a perfect match!”
Matthew was laughing like a madman. “I reckon the one who hired the killer is you, right?” Alexander’s
expression was full of hostility, and he was gritting his teeth. “Me? Alexander, although you’ve let me
go, what did you tell the people around you?
I’m as good as a dog now. I can’t even do anything in public, so how could I possibly hire a killer? I just
happened to know about it, so I just came to give you a kind reminder. Now, I just want to see what
choice you would make! Hahahaha!” With that, Matthew hung up. And only then did Alexander realize
that Elise tried to call him. When he returned her call, Elise didn’t answer. At this moment, Elise was
being surrounded by a group of police. The handcuffs dangling before her eyes were extremely
dazzling. “No, it has nothing to do with me.
I didn’t touch her…” Elise hurriedly explained. However, the policeman was unperturbed. “We received
a report from the public that a murder case had occurred here, so our team immediately rushed over. If
you didn’t kill anyone, then what is this?” There was a huge pool of blood, so Elise knew that she
couldn’t argue anymore. “I want to contact my lawyer.” She also knew that she had been framed. There
was a high chance that the person who knocked on the door just now wasn’t Madeline, and she might
have been lying in a pool of blood for a long time. At this moment, even if Madeline didn’t like her, she
still hoped that Madeline would be okay. “Take her away,” ordered the police in charge.
Hearing the commotion outside the private room, Quentin walked out. When he saw Elise covered in
blood, he was shocked. However, the police stopped him, not allowing him to come forward at all.
Then, Quentin saw Madeline being carried out. This is a setup! “Papa, later, tell Alexander that I’m
innocent and that I have a clear conscience!” Elise shot one glance at Quentin before she was escorted
away, which made her shout anxiously. There was no need for Quentin to pass the message, because
Elise and Alexander crossed paths at the door.
