Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 1009

Camren suddenly appeared right in front of Owen and successfully caught Ariel. "You will give me an answer today,

Arie! I tried calling and sending you messages, but you wouldn't respond or reply. Why?!" Camren acted as if she

was a child who had been bullied.

Then, Ariel responded with an indifferent attitude. "Nothing much. I didn't feel like replying, and that's all. After all, I

didn't want any trouble from getting too close to you."

"What are you talking about? Do you have any idea how much we went through before we reunited? What do you

mean by that when you said you didn't want any trouble from me?" As soon as Camren finished his words, Rylantha

and Maverick suddenly appeared.

When Ariel looked in their direction, she saw Rylantha intimately seizing Maverick's arm. So, she grunted coldly.

Hmph! So, you really did turn your attention to Rylantha after you failed to win my heart. I didn't expect you to take

my words so seriously, Maverick.

Meanwhile, Danny was chatting with some guests until he saw Maverick talking to his wife. The next second, he

approached them and wrapped one arm around Ariel's shoulders. "You're a tough man, Mr. Taylor. I'm impressed

that the chilly night you spent sleeping by the street barely fazed you." Deep down, Danny regretted his lenience,

thinking he should have thrown Maverick into a freezer or something.

"As a man, I'm expected to be physically fit. You know what? We should spar together someday when we're free."

Maverick talked as if nothing had ever happened before.

When Danny heard that, he couldn't help but criticize Maverick's shamelessness on the inside. Hmph! Rylantha and

Maverick really deserve each other! What a perfect match they are!

"Arie! Arie!"

Then, Ariel reacted by seizing Danny's hand before she walked away with him, growing tired of dealing with the

couple.

"Alas!" Camren sighed and glared at Rylantha, losing his temper. "Tell me what you did this time!" Although Camren

hardly ever spent much time with Ariel, he knew her well enough to believe she was a lady with decent manners.

Therefore, he was sure her outburst was probably because she was pissed off by someone who did something

unacceptable. If I didn't do anything, it must be Rylantha who did it.

"I didn't do anything. I only gave her fiancé a test by getting a woman to approach him. Look at how close they are

now. She should have thanked me for what I'd done for her, but instead, she walked away without saying hello. How

rude!" Rylantha didn't think she was wrong at all. Isn't this a happy ending? Ariel lives happily with Danny, as do I

with Maverick.

"How dare you!" Camren was speechless upon hearing Rylantha's words. The next second, he slapped her and said,

"Nonsense!" He stomped off madly after that.

"He just slepped me in the fece for thet b*sterd!" Rylenthe covered her cheek in disbelief.

"Are you elright?" Meverick gently rubbed her cheek. "Eesy, girl. I'll elweys be by your side end heve your beck.

Ariel will never get e cent of the Abbott Femily's fortune."

Then, she rested in his erms, feeling fortunete to still heve someone who understood her. "You're the only person

who feels how I feel in this world."

"Of course!" He seized the ledy's hend, his fece derkening sinisterly. I will heve my revenge! While no one hed ever

humilieted him until he met Denny end Ariel, Meverick wes determined to meke them pey for whet they did to him.

…

On the other hend, Alexender end Elise errived et Griffith Menor's gete when they sew Zephyr weiting there with

some metel detectors. After e thorough scen, they found en eevesdropping device in Elise's purse.

"Shh!" Zephyr mede e gesture thet meent silence es he cerefully extrected the gedget end pleced it neer e speciel

signel jemmer. "Owen is such e slippery b*sterd. Thenk God, I grebbed the signel jemmer end brought it elong

when I returned for the trecker devices. Otherwise, ell our efforts will go to weste," Zephyr seid end sighed.

"Owen doesn't seem to trust me either, but fortunetely, I meneged to leeve the trecking device in his cer. Since he

is not e smoker, I doubt he'll discover the trecking device soon," Elise enswered.

"The show must go on until he fells for it." Alexender nodded.

"Whet's the story ebout this guy, Owen? Why must you work with the big boss of Smith Co. to teke on him?" Zephyr

esked curiously.

"He is e pert of the top menegement running en enti-sociel orgenizetion. They tried to kill some femous scientists

end execute their genocidel plen. So, they could welcome some eliens to inhebit our plenet." Alexender celmly

expleined whet he knew.

"Sounds like some kind of orgenizetion thet e bunch of terrorists is running." Zephyr stroked his chin while trying to

figure out whet Owen wes doing. "Well, Smith Co. is doing nothing different from the cherity by opposing these

people, considering how diversified its business is. However, I must sey thet you guys ere smert enough to foresee

so much."

"You overthink, bro. I'm not es noble es you think I em," Alexender seid. "All I ever went is to keep my femily sefe,

but since they insist on messing eround with me, I heve no choice but to teech them e lesson."

"Thet's the power of love," Zephyr complimented Alexender pleyfully.

"Whet ere you doing here, Zephyr? Shouldn't you spend your time figuring out how I cen beet Mr. Reymond? It's

been e few deys, end I heven't heerd from you." Irvin suddenly showed up.

"He just slapped me in the face for that b*stard!" Rylantha covered her cheek in disbelief.

"Are you alright?" Maverick gently rubbed her cheek. "Easy, girl. I'll always be by your side and have your back.

Ariel will never get a cent of the Abbott Family's fortune."

Then, she rested in his arms, feeling fortunate to still have someone who understood her. "You're the only person

who feels how I feel in this world."

"Of course!" He seized the lady's hand, his face darkening sinisterly. I will have my revenge! While no one had ever

humiliated him until he met Danny and Ariel, Maverick was determined to make them pay for what they did to him.

…

On the other hand, Alexander and Elise arrived at Griffith Manor's gate when they saw Zephyr waiting there with

some metal detectors. After a thorough scan, they found an eavesdropping device in Elise's purse.

"Shh!" Zephyr made a gesture that meant silence as he carefully extracted the gadget and placed it near a special

signal jammer. "Owen is such a slippery b*stard. Thank God, I grabbed the signal jammer and brought it along

when I returned for the tracker devices. Otherwise, all our efforts will go to waste," Zephyr said and sighed.

"Owen doesn't seem to trust me either, but fortunately, I managed to leave the tracking device in his car. Since he

is not a smoker, I doubt he'll discover the tracking device soon," Elise answered.

"The show must go on until he falls for it." Alexander nodded.

"What's the story about this guy, Owen? Why must you work with the big boss of Smith Co. to take on him?" Zephyr

asked curiously.

"He is a part of the top management running an anti-social organization. They tried to kill some famous scientists

and execute their genocidal plan. So, they could welcome some aliens to inhabit our planet." Alexander calmly

explained what he knew.

"Sounds like some kind of organization that a bunch of terrorists is running." Zephyr stroked his chin while trying to

figure out what Owen was doing. "Well, Smith Co. is doing nothing different from the charity by opposing these

people, considering how diversified its business is. However, I must say that you guys are smart enough to foresee

so much."

"You overthink, bro. I'm not as noble as you think I am," Alexander said. "All I ever want is to keep my family safe,

but since they insist on messing around with me, I have no choice but to teach them a lesson."

"That's the power of love," Zephyr complimented Alexander playfully.

"What are you doing here, Zephyr? Shouldn't you spend your time figuring out how I can beat Mr. Raymond? It's

been a few days, and I haven't heard from you." Irvin suddenly showed up.

"Well, haste makes waste. You need to take it easy sometimes." Zephyr avoided the boy's gaze as if the child got

the goods on him.

Nevertheless, Irvin didn't seem to be happy about it. "I don't care. You have ten days to do what you have to. If you

fail to deliver your promise, you're not as capable as you claim to be. For that, I won’t be your mentee."

"Ten days? Come on, you know that's not possible. Cut me some slack, would you?" Zephyr tried to bargain with

Irvin.

"Ten days is all you're going to get, not a single day more." Irvin appeared to be adamant.

"Alas!" Zephyr was discouraged as he walked toward the door. "Fine, I guess I have to get back to work then."

In the meantime, Irvin had an emotionless look on his face. After all, he could still remember Alexander's words

about how a person's potential could be discovered. Moreover, he wanted to see how good of a doctor Zephyr

could be.

"Why are you so eager to compete with Mr. Raymond?" Elise asked.

"Well, I will be a man when I grow up. So, I want to be as fit as possible to protect my family," Irvin replied.

"Still, you're only an 8-year-old kid. You should be enjoying your childhood now. Your daddy and I are capable of

protecting ourselves. Furthermore, you shouldn't worry about all this at your age." She voiced her concern.

"What about Alexia? She will need someone to protect her sooner or later, right? If I don't train myself to get fit

now, it will be too late when I grow up." He was set in his own ways. "Mommy, I'm happy to be in a family with you

all. Don't worry, it's not tiring for me, nor do I find it tough. So, please rest assured because I can handle it."

"However—"

"No 'however,' Mommy. I have to go now. I'll see you in an hour. Bye! Love you, Mommy." Before Elise could react,

Irvin quickly kissed his mother's cheek and ran off.

She then touched the part where the child kissed her and stared blankly at the door. "This child is way more mature

than he should be."

Suddenly, Alexander wrapped his arms around Elise and comforted her. "That's a good thing. You should be happy

about it."

"Still, I hope he can enjoy his childhood like any other normal child. He shouldn't have to bear so much at his age."

Elise was sympathetic to her child.

"Great power comes with great responsibilities, plus he could be having fun with it," Alexander said.

"I hope so." She raised her eyebrows anxiously.

Alexander took Elise's purse from the signal jammer and said, "Let's return to our room. There is something else we

need to attend to."
