Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) -
Chapter 50
Chapter 50
“Bring me the money first. As for the future, I can't say for sure. It depends on my mood,” Ritareplied to Jasmine in a casual tone.
“Rita, you'd better not go too far.” For the first time, Jasmine felt that she had been blind before andhonestly thought that Rita was a doormat in the past. But now she realized that Rita was actually ahungry wolf under a sheep's skin.
“Have I? Then, do you want me to try harder? Jasmine, my patience is limited. You must give it tome today, or the consequences will be borne by yourself.”
With these words, Rita walked away, leaving Jasmine glaring after her, but there was nothingJasmine could do. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Where would she get the100,000? Jasmine took her bag of jewelry to a pawnshop and barely managed to scrape together50,000. However, she was still 50,000 short, and when she was at a loss, a man suddenly called outto her. “Girl, how about a loan?”
“A loan?” Jasmine suddenly brightened up. “How do I do this? How much can I borrow at most?”The man smiled and said, “This will depend on your needs. No matter how much you require, wecan solve your urgent needs.”
Thank God! The heavens have heard my plea and sent me an angel in disguise!
Jasmine followed the man to replace out about borrowing money. When she returned to school, shethrew the bag of cash containing 100,000 directly in front of Rita. “Here's 100,000 for you; don'tcome to me again.”
Rita was surprised to see that Jasmine had gotten 100,000 for her in such a short time, but she stillaccepted the bag. “Thanks. If you need my help again, feel free to look for me.”
Jasmine clenched her fists; she was very unwilling to give up the money, but she still maintained asmile on the surface. “Let me tell you that this is the last time. You'd better hope I don't have dirt onyou in the future.”
With these words, Jasmine turned around and walked away.
Rita held the bag of money, then put it away. Later, she took it to Elise and said, “This
is what she gave me, Elise. I also did what you said, so can we just write it off between
us?"
Elise did not even look at the bag of money as she smiled coldly. “Don’t worry. I am a woman of myword. I can let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onward, you should not go to schoolanymore. This 100,000 will be your travel expenses, and don't come back in the future.”
Hastily, Rita refused her suggestion. “No, I can't take this money. I will ask my father to transfer meto another school, so don't worry.”
Elise sized her up, feeling that the girl in front of her still had some conscience, after all. However,things were no longer under Rita's control; according to Jasmine’s nature, although the money wasgiven to Rita, she might do something to Rita in the near future.
“Jasmine is not someone who will give up easily. Take the money and just save yourself.”
With that, Elise felt that she had done her part in reminding Rita and her conscience was clear. Next,it was time to settle accounts with Jasmine. For two days in a row, Elise did not go to school, andJasmine did not notice anything wrong. She thought that Elise was still locked up in a dark room inthe mountains, so she relaxed and prepared for the Chinese Week's public speaking competition.The Chinese Week's public speaking competition was crucial, as there would be many collegeprofessors hidden among the audience to spot good candidates for the next year's cohort offreshmen. Thus, it was no secret that this was why there were so many people who wanted toparticipate in this competition.
The venue for the Chinese Week's public speaking competition was booked to be held in the city'slargest gymnasium, gathering teachers and student representatives from all the city’s famous highschools.
“Jasmine, don't be nervous when you go on stage later. Just perform as usual.” The languageteacher instructed in the background.
This feeling of being valued by the teacher was very much appreciated by Jasmine, who said, “Don’tworry. I will work hard, and I will definitely strive to get a good grade.”
The language teacher gave her a slight pat on the shoulder. “Good. Good luck then! I look forwardto your performance.”
Jasmine smiled proudly and looked toward the spotlight in the middle of the stage, where she wasgoing to stand in just a moment to enjoy the attention of everyone present. In fact, she seemed tohave imagined the scene where she was holding the gold trophy
"Elise is also going to participate in the competition, but she hasn't come over yet, so you sit herewhile I'll go outside to take a look.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” When theteacher mentioned Elise, at once, the expression on Jasmine’s face suddenly changed. Fortunately,she hid it well, and in a flash, all the emotions on her face disappeared.
“She may already be outside. You go ahead! I'll be fine on my own.”
"Okay, then I'll go over first. Relax!"
As Jasmine looked at the teacher's back, her gaze deepened. Will Elise even be able to come to thecompetition? It all depends on her luck. In fact, Elise is probably still shivering in the cold.
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always beenproud of her looks. Even though she was not the best-looking girl, she was far more beautiful thanthe ugly Elise.
Jasmine was slated to be in the middle of the order, so it took a while before it was her turn. Assoon as she got on stage, she looked at the audience down the stage. Smiling, she held themicrophone close to her and began fluently. “Good evening, everyone. My name is Jasmine..."
The eyes of the audience were collectively gathered on the stage, while even the judges were allnodding approvingly. At this moment, Jasmine’s heart surged with satisfaction. However, at thismoment at the entrance, Elise and Mikayla walked in and took their seats directly in the front row.Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage coldly and indifferently, as if she was looking at a clown.
The moment Jasmine saw Elise, her face suddenly changed, and her speech became a bit slurred.Soon, she stopped speaking. The audience below glanced at each other and could not help but ask,"What is going on? Why isn't she saying anything?”
“It can't be that she forgot the words because she’s nervous, right?”
"Her performance was not bad; I thought she would be better.”
“It's a pity. Her earlier performance was quite good.”
As the crowd gossiped among themselves, Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage with a smile. As forJasmine, she simply opened her mouth, but her mind was blank, and no words came out. She triedhard to restrain her emotions and continue her speech, but now her mind was in turmoil, and shestuttered. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Finally, once she wrapped up herspeech, she hurriedly ran down from the stage.
“I thought she would be so bold, but she’s just a wimp.” Mikayla couldn't help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. “Let's go. We'll go and meet her.”
So, Elise and Mikayla went backstage together.
At this moment backstage, Jasmine had come back to her senses, but her own performance wasreally terrible, and she got the lowest score so far.
Feeling dejected, she sat on the stool with her face stiff, but her mind was not on the publicspeaking competition. Instead, she was wondering how Elise appeared at the competition?
