Chapter 671 Turn Against Him
As soon as she stood firm, a voice called out from behind her, “Boss!”
Elise turned and saw Sheldon and Elliot jogging over with a cup of milk tea in their hands.
“It’s really you, Boss!” Elliot was always as excited as a monkey, lively and energetic. “Are you here to participate in the e-sports competition?”
“No. I’m sending a friend off.”
As soon as Elise finished speaking, Stephanie got out of the car.
She was wearing silver-white glittering heels and an evening gown, which was particularly eye-catching under the light in front of the mall.
Elliot only took one glance before he found that the milk tea in his mouth wasn’t as sweet anymore. So, he just stared blankly at her, his eyes unblinking as if his soul had been pried away.
Stephanie nodded politely, greeting Sheldon and Elliot before saying goodbye to Elise. “Elise, I’ll take my leave first. We’ll have barbecue together next time.”
Elliot instantly looked entranced as his heart beat wildly in his chest.
Oh, my god. Even her voice is so sweet. She’s my dream girl!
“Okay ” Elise reminded, “Take care.”
“I will. Goodbye.” Stephanie waved, then turned and walked into the mall.
Elliot’s gaze moved with her. It wasn’t until her figure was completely gone that he let out a long sigh and said with a lamenting expression, “Sheldon, I’m in love.”
Sheldon turned and glanced at him. Then, he thought that Elliot was going to take advantage of him again, so he punched him in the stomach. “Be serious!”
“Ow!” Elliot clutched his stomach in pain and shouted, “Sheldon! Are you a sadist?! You punched me just because you disagree! Did I offend you?!”
“That’s on you for spewing nonsense.” Sheldon took a sip of mint milk tea, not feeling an ounce of guilt.
“What nonsense did I say? Which law prohibits love at first sight?!” Elliot’s eyes widened with resentment. What evil did he do in his previous life to deserve a terrible friend like Sheldon?
Sheldon raised his eyebrows and asked in slight disbelief, “Love at first sight? Who are you in love with?”
“None of your business!” Elliot spat, then turned and gave Elise a cheeky smile. “Hey, Boss, is that girl just now your friend?”
Elise peered at him in amusement. “You want to pursue her?”
Elliot scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. “The graceful maiden is well-suited as a spouse for the nobleman…”
“That’s referring to a gentleman, not a fool.” Sheldon retorted mercilessly.
Elliot glared daggers at him. “Shut up, a*shole!”
“Hmph. I don’t have time to deal with you.” Sheldon arrogantly turned away.
Elliot then looked at Elise with a smile. “Boss, can you give me her number?”
Elise thought about it for a while before agreeing. “Okay.”
Then, she took out her phone and gave Elliot her number.
“Stephanie.” Elliot looked at the name on her WhatsApp profile and smiled sweetly. “What a nice name.”
There was always a sense of nostalgia for young love. Elise couldn’t help but smile when she felt his longing for love.
Alexander got out of the car, then opened the back seat door on the other side and urged, “Ellie, it’s time to go.”
They weren’t allowed to park at the mall entrance for too long.
“Coming.”
Elise bade farewell to Sheldon and Elliot before getting into the car.
Not long after they drove off, Alexander’s low voice sounded in the car. “Are you and Stephanie old friends?”
“Not really,” Elise answered lightly. “Do you remember the food poisoning incident last time? People chased me to the mall, and she rescued me.”
“Hmm.” Alexander nodded slightly, then asked, “Did you paint the ‘Ink Peonies’ in front of her?”
“How’d you know?” Elise blurted out. After asking the question, she came to her senses. With Alexander’s intelligence, it made sense that he guessed it.
She nodded and admitted it, “Yes.”
But this time, Alexander wasn’t as shocked when he previously discovered Elise’s other identities. Instead, he solemnly analyzed the situation. “Then, Stephanie must have guessed that you’re SQ.”
“I told her that I sold fake paintings, so it should’ve fooled her,” Elise said thoughtfully.
Alexander shook his head and stared intently ahead. “Have you forgotten what she said before getting out of the car? She’s already certain of your identity.”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s nothing to hide anyway.” Elise didn’t pay much attention to it.
Alexander didn’t continue, but he was already wary of Stephanie.
She would have pointed out that Elise was SQ if she was certain of it. However, she left things hanging. So, not only did she want Elise to accept her favor, but she even appeared as if she didn’t want anything in return.
Usually, such people had schemes that weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Meanwhile, Stephanie had just walked into the mall. After making sure that the people outside couldn’t see her, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
“I found SQ. You’d never believe it. She’s actually a woman.”
When the call ended, Elliot’s Facebook friend application popped up.
Stephanie wanted to decline, but after taking a look, she saw that he was mutual friends with Elise, so she accepted it.
At almost the same time, Elliot saw the Facebook notification claiming that he had successfully added Stephanie, causing him to yell with excitement as he jumped up and hooked Sheldon’s neck under his armpit. “Yeah! Sheldon, you’re getting a sister-in-law!”
“F*ck! Let me go…”

…
After breaking up with Michelle, Sebastian went to the dormitory building every day to wait for Tiana.
On this day, he finally managed to catch her.
“Tiana!” Sebastian rushed over and stood in front of her, looking both excited and cautious. “Michelle and I have broken up. So let’s be together!”
“Sebastian, what are you talking about?” Tiana looked innocent. “You’ve misunderstood. I’ve always regarded you as a brother. I’ve never thought of you this way.”
“A brother?” The expression on Sebastian’s face froze.
“Yes.” Tiana frowned, looking aggrieved. “I’ve always said that I envy you and Michelle for finding people who truly love each other, and I hoped that I could too. I didn’t expect your relationship to end so quickly. It’s a pity…”
“Heh…” Sebastian sneered incredulously, the corners of his mouth twitching awkwardly. He didn’t know what to say.
So, all those hints Tiana gave before were just him flattering himself?
However, her calling him ‘Seb’ so affectionately couldn’t have been his imagination, right?
Sebastian was clever, so he immediately realized that Tiana was turning against him.
“I know it’s hard for you to cope with the breakup, but at times like this, you should be alone and calm yourself instead of randomly confessing to someone like a headless chicken. I understand how you feel. I will treat today’s incident as if it hadn’t happened. I’ll go back to my room first.” After Tiana finished speaking empathetically, she walked past him and headed for the dormitory building.
“Wait.” Sebastian grabbed her. “Give me back that pin.”
Tiana shook him off, and her expression became cold. “What pin? Isn’t that your gift to me? As a man, isn’t it too impolite of you to want back a gift you gave to a girl?”
