Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 767 Elise’s Ashes

When Adelpha heard her father’s words, she unconsciously lowered her voice as her eyes brightened up.

“It is going great. I’ll be able to pass Grade 10 this time and join the Piano Association. Don’t worry, Poppa.”

“That’s good news. You embarrassed me when you failed last time. I don’t want anything to go wrong this time. Quickly get practicing!” Exhausted, Onyx only wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

“But, Anastasia asked me to make her plum pudding…” Adelpha took the opportunity to snitch.

Hearing that, he glanced at Elise angrily. “She wants to eat? Let her make it herself then! I want everyone in the White Residence to listen—Adelpha’s hands are used to play the piano. I will punish anyone who dares to hurt her hands!”

Onyx seemed like he was warning everyone in the house on the surface, but they all knew that the words were for Elise alone.

With Onyx’s backing, Adelpha naturally didn’t have to be a slave to her sister anymore. After she threw Elise a smug look, she went upstairs with him.

As soon as the father-daughter duo turned around the corner, they bumped into Jacob, who was about to go downstairs.

Onyx quickly realized that the man Elise brought back was the same one Lyra had told him about on the phone.

“Who are you? I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to have a long stay in someone else’s house for no reason.” Onyx indirectly tried to get him out of the house.

Jacob then responded by nodding politely and starting, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Anastasia’s husband. I will live with everyone in the future, so I hope we get along, dear father-in-law.”

“Hold your horses!” Onyx interrupted. “Who the hell are you calling your father-in-law? My daughter is still an unmarried woman. Keep on with your nonsense and I’ll sue you for slander!”

“It is true.” Elise walked to Jacob from behind them. “We have already gotten our marriage certificate abroad.”
