When the three of them walked out of the school while chatting and laughing, there was a lively crowd at the school gate. Several middle-aged people in yellow leather jackets were holding posters of Jack and promoting. “Come and get H and Jack’s fan-meeting tickets! First come first serve! It’s not an opportunity to be missed! Students who want these tickets should hurry up. It doesn’t cost 3,000; it doesn’t even cost 1,000.
At only 299, you can get the chance to meet H. At only 299, you can get close with your idol, Jack…” When Riley heard this, she exclaimed excitedly, “Oh, my God! Is H making a comeback? She’s actually holding a fan meeting? I want to go too.” With that, she went forward. Although Samantha wasn’t a fan of H, she quite enjoyed her music, so she said, “Help me get one too.” Upon seeing this, Elise’s face sank. With furrowed brows, she stepped forward to stop Riley and Samantha before walking toward the two men selling the tickets.
“Are you sure these are H and Jack’s fan meeting tickets?” The man selling the tickets thought that Elise wanted to buy a ticket, so he quickly answered, “Miss, with only 299, you can meet H. It’s better to act now and get a ticket.” Elise’s expression darkened even more. “Are you sure it’s H herself? If what you said is false, you can be suspected of fraud. In that case, you’ll be jailed.” When the ticket seller heard Elise’s remarks, his expression changed, and he immediately shoved her away while saying in a nasty voice, “Little girl, what nonsense are you spewing?
You’re clearly here to create trouble. If you can’t afford a ticket, then go away. Don’t get in the way of other students who want to buy the tickets.” Elise immediately took out her phone. “We’ll know if I’m talking nonsense after the police come here. If you guys are suspected of fraud, you’ll be sent to jail.” Seeing this, the man selling the tickets stepped forward and grabbed Elise’s phone. “I’m warning you—don’t cause trouble.
We’re not as nice as we look.” Elise sneered, “What’s the matter? Are you pissed because you were exposed in broad daylight?” The ticket-sellers saw that more and more students had begun to crowd around, and they knew that the matter could not be escalated. “You’d better watch out.” With that, the man left with his group. As soon as they left, Samantha and Riley were dumbfounded. “Are they really frauds?”
Samantha couldn’t help but exclaim, and Riley was relieved as well. “Luckily we didn’t buy the tickets.” Then, the two of them asked curiously, “Elise, why were you so sure that they’re frauds?” “That’s right, Elise. You were so brave just now! You actually dared to confront them directly. I’m sure you know that these frauds will do anything for money. I’m quite afraid of what they’ll do to you.” Elise knew that she had been a little too emotional, but this kind of obvious deceit was absolutely unacceptable.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Tickets for Jack’s fan meetings are usually sold on his official website, so how would they organize targeted sales at schools like this? Not to mention, H would never hold fan meetings.” Samantha and Riley agreed with the front part of her statement. As for the part about H never holding fan meetings, they were rather curious. “Elise, how are you so sure? Do you know H?” Elise had let slip her tongue, but she still found a good reason.
“With H’s character and her status in the music industry, she would definitely be trending if she were to hold a fan meeting, but do you see any news on the Internet? “ Samantha and Riley shook their heads simultaneously. That was when they realized that not only did Elise have strong observational skills, she was also extremely clear-headed. “Elise, you really are a genius. I’m beginning to admire you more and more,” Samantha praised unceremoniously. “Okay.
Don’t think about it too much. Go home now.” Elise bid farewell to Samantha and Riley, then stood on the side of the road and waited. However, after waiting for quite a while, Alexander, who was supposed to pick her up today, didn’t show up. There were fewer and fewer people at the gate, and gradually, almost all the students had scattered. At this moment, the few ticket sellers who had left returned and surrounded Elise. “Ugly b*tch. You’re so ugly, yet you dared provoke me. You really do have a death wish.” The leader of the group was unceremoniously rude.
As Elise looked at him, her eyes darkened. “What are you guys doing?” “What are we doing? People like you won’t learn unless we teach you a lesson. Guys, attack her. I don’t care even if she’s crippled.” The moment he gave the order, the few men surrounding her surged forward. Elise stood in place, not moving at all. Her eyes turned a little gloomy, and she saw a man throwing a punch her way. When he was less than a fist away from her, Elise turned sideways to dodge, then kicked the man’s calf.
She was quick, ruthless, and accurate as she kicked him, sending him onto the ground and screaming. The other men saw this, but they weren’t afraid at all. When they stepped forward again, Elise let out a cold laugh, then dealt with them with ease. After a while, all of the burly men had fallen to the ground until only the leader was left. The man stared at Elise in fear. “You’d better look out. I… I’m skilled too.” However, as soon as he said that, he turned around and sprinted to escape.
In an instant, he was nowhere to be seen. When the few men on the ground saw this, they got up and scurried off as well. Elise clapped her hands, not bothered by them at all. But when she turned around, she was dumbfounded. Unbeknownst to her, Alexander was standing not far away, and he was fixing her with a profound gaze, making her flustered. When did he arrive? Did he see what happened just now? Alexander strode toward her.
“I really didn’t expect you to be so skilled.” As soon as he said this, Elise knew that Alexander had witnessed the entire scene earlier. Since that was the case, there was no point in hiding it. “I learned Taekwondo when I was young, but it’s all just for show. I don’t have any real skills.”
Nevertheless, Alexander didn’t think so. Elise had a good grasp of her movements, strength, and speed, so it would be hard to believe that she had never practiced it. But since Elise wasn’t willing to tell him, he didn’t ask either. “I had some business to handle at the office, so I ran a little late. Get in the car.”
Alexander changed the subject. Seeing that he didn’t ask any further questions, Elise breathed a sigh of relief and followed him into the car. After getting into the car, Alexander wasn’t in a hurry to start the car at all.
Instead, he leaned toward Elise. She widened her eyes and was frozen to the spot, not daring to move. When he was less than ten centimeters away from her, she jerked backward and asked, “W-What are you doing?”
