Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 489 Are You Admitting That I’m Your Husband?

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and realized that the giggle came from a fair and

delicate girl.

“I’m sorry, but this is too funny. I can’t hold back my laughter.”

After letting out a chuckle, Kenneth threw the man aside and casted his gaze on Elise once more.

The man rubbed his aching wrist before looking at Elise in annoyance. “Where did you come from, you

ignorant wild girl? Are you looking for trouble?”

The man knew that he was no match against Kenneth and since he had already embarrassed himself,

there was no turning back. However, being laughed at by a woman was another thing, so he couldn’t

bring himself to endure it no matter what.

“Are you talking about me?” Elise asked knowingly while tilting her head, her expression innocent. “I’m

the rich silly girl that you talked about just now…”

Kenneth then moved and went over to her. Lowering his head, he murmured, “Miss Sinclair, looks like

I’ve helped you out again. I believe that this isn’t the first time. Have you thought of a way to repay me?”

“I don’t need to.” She immediately put on an indifferent expression as she commented, “You did it on

your own accord. I didn’t ask you for it.”

Seeing that they knew each other, the man suddenly felt his breath stop.

While they were still chatting with each other, he silently grabbed his jacket on the chair and moved

toward the door one step at a time, edging sideways just like a crab.

“Stop right there!” As if he had eyes behind his back, Kenneth dragged those three words out and halted

the man. Turning around slowly, Kenneth questioned, “Do you really think you can just walk away and

pretend as if nothing has happened after saying what you’ve said?”

When Melody came in, she could feel that there was something wrong in the atmosphere, so she quickly

went up and reminded Kenneth, “We are currently not in Smith Co.’s turf. It’s best if you don’t cause any

trouble.”

“You’ve misunderstood me, Melody.” He put on an innocent look as he commented, “How could an

honest man like me cause any trouble? Why don’t you ask him?”

With that, he raised his chin and pointed at the man leaning against the wall.

Looking at the man, Melody furrowed her brows in resignation and thought for a second before walking

toward him. “I’m sorry, sir, but he has a bad temper.” Just as the man was about to tell her that everything

was fine, she continued, “That is why I need you to apologize to him.”

What? He hit me because he has a bad temper, but I have to be the one to apologize? The man looked

confused as he mused it over, Did I hear her wrong? Or is that woman talking nonsense?

“ICU……”

“You can also choose not to apologize to him.” Melody looked indifferent as she continued, “Then, I can

only let him make you apologize to him himself so that he can vent his anger. If I remember correctly, the

last person whom he vented his anger on is still lying in the ICU—”

Before she finished her words, the man immediately put his hands together and kneeled on the floor. “I’m

sorry! What I did just now was wrong.” He kept on apologizing while slapping himself. “I know that what I

said was reckless and I was too ignorant to know any better. I hope that you can have mercy and forgive

me. Don’t lower yourself to my level!”

However, Kenneth’s expression remained the same as he cocked his head and looked at Elise, who was

standing next to him. “It’ll all depend on whether this pretty girl wants to forgive you or not.”

“Yes, of course.” The man kowtowed to her. “O’ pretty girl, I was wrong and I won’t dare to do it again. I

hope that you can be merciful enough to forgive me this time!”

Elise pouted her lips as she wasn’t in the mood to bother with him any longer. “Go away. Don’t spoil my

appetite.”

“Thank you, o’ pretty girl. Thank you very much!” With that, the man crawled out of the restaurant. The

others who ate on the same table as him also scattered silently as they were afraid of getting themselves

into trouble.

Grunting, Elise ignored Kenneth directly and sat back on her seat.

The moment she sat down, she could feel a warm breath breathing down her ear from above.

At the same time, Kenneth’s ambiguous voice was heard. “Miss Sinclair, in ancient times, people usually

fell in love with the hero when he saved the damsel in distress. Don’t you think you should do something

about it?”

The numbing feeling immediately softened her body. Elise didn’t know what was wrong with herself but

she still had the sense to make a move first, so she took out her silver needle right away and stabbed

behind her.

However, Kenneth steadily intercepted and grabbed her hand.

Looking at the silver needle inches away from his eyes, he revealed a teasing smile. “It’s illegal to murder

your own husband.”

She gritted her teeth and replied, “Then I’ll just have to inflict something worse than death on you.”

“Tsk! You’re so cruel.” He smiled faintly and his tone became frivolous again as he purred, “Does that

mean you admit that I’m your husband?”

“You… Go to hell!”

This time, Elise was really enraged as she let go of the needle and began to throw punches at him.

Since Kenneth refused to fight back, he was forced to retreat and in the end, he was kicked right in the

chest, causing him to back out of the restaurant.

Just as she was about to rush out to teach him a lesson, Melody suddenly ran over and blocked her way.

“Miss Sinclair, please forgive him.”

Looking at her, Elise couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She couldn’t care less whether Kenneth lived or

died, but Melody was indeed a good person, so she couldn’t ignore her constant plea for mercy.

“Take him away from my sight immediately.” Elise turned her back on them and uttered darkly, “Miss

Melody, I may owe you a favor but even if it’s paid off, I can’t guarantee that I won’t be merciless if you

can’t control him the next time.”

“Thank you.” Melody bowed. With that, she gave Kenneth a look before leaving with him.

After walking away and confirming no one was behind them, Melody couldn’t help but scoff. “Boss, I

don’t understand why you like to do this to yourself.”

“I’ve told you—this is my way of having fun. You won’t understand it.” Kenneth patted at the place where

he was kicked just now while talking sweetly to himself, “Even though Ellie looks fierce, she is still so

adorable. Hehe…”

Listening to him, Melody shivered as goosebumps appeared all over her body. I think I should just keep

my mouth shut.

…

After the lunch break, the inner hall was opened again.

It was still open for the people to visit and choose. As for the outer hall, it now had an additional

programme other than displaying ordinary gemstones, which was the opening of the stones.

The gemstones picked by the guests in the morning would be opened by the gemstone masters in the

afternoon in the order of registration.

The opening of gemstones had always been a long-running favorite of the convention, so the onlookers

kept on pouring in, making the scene very lively.

Unlike Landred City, the convention prioritized efficiency, so they had a row of more than a dozen

machines and gemstone masters operating at the same time.

Meanwhile, Elise yawned and watched the show from a distance.

After a long wait, someone finally let out a long-awaited gasp.

“The quality… The color… It’s completely perfect!”

This is definitely a top quality product. Look at how refined that watery luster is!”

“Who is so lucky to have gotten the first quality jadeite?”

“Let me check the registration… I-It’s Kenneth Bailey! It’s actually him!”

Initially, Elise did not react but after hearing Kenneth’s name, she raised her brows in surprise.

That playboy actually has some abilities in stone gambling?

Thinking about it, she instinctively looked around with a vigilant gaze, afraid that Kenneth would pop up

in a place she least expected.

When she thought about his ambiguous breath next to her ear at noon, she felt ashamed and annoyed

as she began to regret letting him go that easily.

D*mn it! It’s obvious that he is in the wrong, so why should I be scared?
