Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 819

"Alright. Let her stay for now. We will look for her family some other time," Elise agreeably gave her

permission.

"Thank you, Mommy!" Irvin brought a hand up to salute her like a boy scout.

While Elise and Alexia were laughing at his comical response, Mimi was cautiously watching them with

wide eyes while she hid behind him.

Ding dong!

Thinking that it was Jamie, Elise got up and went to open the door when the doorbell rang.

She only realized that the person standing there was Johnny after she opened the door.

"Good day, Miss Cardashian. I am Johnny Smith, the deputy general manager at Smith Co.. I welcome

you to Tissote. Our chief executive will have his engagement dinner tonight. This is an invitation letter

from us. We hope you will grace us with your presence," Johnny stated as he handed over the

exquisite card in his hand.

"It is an honor." Elise took the invitation with both hands.

The one thing that made Smith Co. grow to its size today, and also what made it different from any

other companies, was that Smith Co. never missed the opportunity to make friends with elites from any

industry.

Of course, they also depended on their well-developed information network that made it possible for

them to get the most accurate information at the earliest time. Untrustworthy sources like Margaret and

Edmond couldn't even dream of getting the scraps by the time they got the correct information.

"I won't be disturbing your rest any further, Miss Cardashian. A car will pick you up in person later.

Please pay attention to any calls you might get."

"Alright."

Johnny then turned around and left after he was done with his business.

After Elise closed the door, she walked back into the room with the invitation card and opened it to take

a look. Jessamine's full name was printed on the column for the fiancée's name.

The sight only made Elise smile as a mocking gleam flashed across her eyes.

Alexander had been collecting women similar to her from all over the world in the past seven years. He

and the women would then have a short-term marriage through contracts, giving outsiders the

impression that he was heartbroken because of Elise's death, so he looked for someone to take her

place to satisfy his desires.

But in fact, all the substitutes were used in order for Elise to successfully become Alexander's wife in

the future while assuming Anastasia's identity.

He wanted the world to know that he accepted anyone and everyone regardless of their circumstances

as long as they looked like Elise.

Alexander and Elise were the only ones who knew that Alexander was waiting for their love to come to

fruition.

"Alright. Let her stay for now. We will look for her family some other time," Elise agreeably gave her

permission.

"Mommy." Irvin jumped up and waved his hand in front of her. "Did you hear what I said?"

Elise only came back to her senses then. "What did you say?"

"I asked you if you are going to attend that casanova's engagement dinner!" the boy demanded

aggressively with his hands on his waist.

She couldn't help but be amused by his question. "Do you know who Alexander Griffith is? Why do you

say that about him?"

"Is he not a casanova when he changes wives so frequently? I don't like that man. I don't want you to

go, Mommy." Irvin looked like a little adult as he talked reason into her.

"He is a casanova just because he changes wives? Well then, did you know that he gets a new wife

every now and then because he misses his first wife? Do you think it is right to judge someone you

don't know just like that?" Elise asked solemnly.

"But it is all over the news!" The boy kept frowning. "Shouldn't you keep your distance from other

people if you truly love someone? Even Lexi gets upset when I am nice to other girls. Married couples

should be more mindful of this!"

"There are entertainment magazines that once said that I got pregnant before marriage, and that I am a

bad woman who doesn't have self-respect. Do you think they were right?"

Irvin immediately blurted out without thinking, "Of course not! My mommy is the best Mommy in the

world! Those people were just making things up!"

"So now you know that magazines can't be trusted completely." Elise then patiently explainned, "We

shouldn't get to know someone through other people's mouths. We have to feel it from our daily

interactions with others, understood?"

Hearing that, Irvin lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought.

She then patted him on the shoulder and added, "Take your time. You are still young. Now go help your

sister clean up. I will take you both to the dinner later."

It was about time Alexander met his children.

More important than that, Elise missed him.

"Okay," Irvin nodded and asked again, "Is Mimi going too?"

Elise shrugged, gesturing for him to do as he pleased. "Only if you can take care of her—"

"Okey dokey! Leave it to me!" he reassured her while patting himself on the chest. Turning to look at

Alexia, Irvin told her, "Alexia! Get Mimi one of your dresses!"

…

With Smith Co.'s unchallenged supremacy, Alexander now had a net worth of more than 100 billion,

and he had been on the Forbes list a few times.

It was only expected for his engagement dinner to be crowded with attendees. Before the clock even

hit 7.00PM, the garden where the dinner would be held was already full of people, where most of them

were elites of the business world.

After 15 minutes, Alexander went on stage with Jessamine around his arm while they were surrounded

by everyone.

"Mr. Griffith is a lucky man to have such beautiful wives. How enviable!"

"Exactly! That does not look like the body of a woman who has given birth twice. I would believe it if

someone said she is only a college student!"

"You don't say! Among the many Mr. Griffith's engagement dinners I have attended, this one is the

most similar to the original one thus far. Gosh! It actually makes sense to find a better one after the

original one is gone!"

The men's fervent discussion about Jessamine's beautiful appearance was enough to prove her

charms.

However, even a wonderful woman like her looked small and lovable standing beside Alexander.

After seven years of refinement and honing, his regality had naturally become imposing as he exuded

the oppressing aura of a top dog. The woman looked like she was just his ornament.

Despite the difference in their charisma, it didn't affect the beautiful image of a handsome man and

beautiful woman standing together. The visually pleasing sight made the crowd shower them with

endless cheers.

"Mr. Griffith and Miss Jessamine are a match made in heaven!"

"Why don't the bride share with us your love story with Mr. Griffith so that we can absorb some of that

good luck!"

"That is right. Tell us!"

Upon hearing that, Jessamine smiled sweetly and threw an affectionate glance at Alexander, who

stood next to her, and then recited a story she had already familiarized herself with. "There was once

when we took the same flight back to the country, and my car broke down on the way back from the

airport. It was Alexander who personally gave me a ride and sent me back home. I fell in love at first

sight back then. What happened after that happened naturally."

"Wow!"

That immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Fateful encounters like this were so romantic

that their story left the crowd envious.

Jessamine smiled bashfully at their reaction. It might be a made-up story, but the way she said it

herself made it as if she had really experienced this with Alexander. She would always feel her heart

flutter every time she mentioned it.

Right then, her two children carried a framed watercolor painting to the stage and presented it to

Alexander together.

"Mr. Alexander, this is our present for you." The boy hurriedly tried to take credit. "We wish for you and

Mommy to grow old together, and may your love last!"

Alexander reached out and lowered his gaze then, and he took in the painting of a family of four.
