Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 867

Since Jessamine had the reason and 'evidence', she looked at Alexander and accused him before

turning her attention to Elise. "Anastaisa, do you think you've won?"

"This man…" She pointed at Alexander while she complained reluctantly, "Is heartless. You and I are

the same. We're just a substitute for him to remember his dead wife. Sooner or later, he'll treat you like

how he did to me. He will discard you like trash!"

Meanwhile, Elise wanted to say, I am the dead wife you're talking about. Can't I replace me with me?

Obviously, since she had to hide her identity, she acted like a winning mistress and announced, "I'll just

replace the place Elise Sinclair has in his heart."

"Hah. So many women have failed before you. Who do you think you are? Do you think he likes

children? Look at me!" Jessamine did not believe her.

"She's Anastasia White and I'm willing to let her replace that person!" Alexander domineeringly

proclaimed.

How can another man's wife and children compare to his own?

Smiling sarcastically, Jessamine retorted, "How touching. Isn't that how you treated me before? You

gave me whatever I asked for, but what about now? You wouldn't even spare me a glance anymore.

How much do you think your promises and protection are worth?"

As Elise continued to watch, she sighed and shook her head. Humans shouldn't be greedy because

once a person is overcome with greed, it will be hard to satisfy the desire, and that person will never be

happy.

In fact, Jessamine could have treated this situation like the other women in Alexander's life. The others

saw the contract as a business deal. Once they did their part, they would take the money and not have

to worry about going poor for the rest of their lives.

However, she had to fall for a man that was not hers and even used her children to get him. In the end,

it was herself who ruined her family's happiness.

"Time will prove my words, but that's not something you should be bothered with. Take your children,

leave, and start your own life with them."

After Elise said that, she shook her head at Alexander, hoping that he would not make things difficult

for them.

Of course, Alexander would not reject her, so he asked his assistant to bring them away.

Meanwhile, Jessamine mustered up her courage and refused to let anyone come near her. "Don't

touch my children. We'll leave on our own!"

In the end, the three left the venue under the surveillance of people from Smith Co..

Once she left, Alexander looked at Alexia, walked over, and carried her in his arms before asking with a

frown, "Alexia, tell me. Who asked you to play the mini French horn in public?"

"It was my Godfather!" she answered without even giving it a second thought and directly exposed

Jamie.

Meanwhile, Jamie found it funny and said, "I even chose the tune. Isn't it cheery? Haha!"

Alexander's face darkened as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. "Did you forget that she's a girl?"

"What's wrong with her being a girl? Girls shouldn't be defined by any rules. Didn't you see how well

she played that tune? She's an absolute genius!" Jamie was still feeling good about himself. He felt

proud for having such a talented goddaughter.

Rolling his eyes, Alexander reprimanded, "You and Narissa are such a good match."

The happiness Jamie felt instantly fell. "Hey, why are you mentioning her all of sudden?"

Seeing that the culprit was not feeling any sense of guilt, Alexander focused on changing his

daughter's mind. "Alexia, promise me that you won't play with the mini French horn anymore."

"Why? It's a fun instrument to play!" She was still feeling excited.

"When have you ever seen a princess carrying around a large French horn?" he gently implied.

"Oh, my!" Alexia opened her arms excitedly. "A French horn-playing Princess! That's so cool!"

Feeling at a loss for words, Alexander turned to Jamie and looked at him with murderous eyes.

Sensing that something was not right, Jamie laughed sheepishly and tried to find an excuse to escape.

"Hehe. About that. I think I forgot to turn off the burner in my kitchen. I should hurry back. Goodbye

everyone!"

Before he even finished his words, he was gone.

Elise glanced at the door and started to feel worried. "Do you think Jessamine will expose the

contract?"

"She won't," he affirmed.

"How are you so sure?" She was confused.

Alexander turned to look at her with a determined gaze. "Because she's a mother."

No mother would disregard her children's safety.

…

Inside a standard residential area in Tissote.

After dinner, Lyra pulled Adelpha into the living room to try on some clothes.

Since Adelpha had been staying in the countryside for seven years and had finally come home, Lyra

wanted to compensate her daughter for all those missed years.

Halfway through the dress fitting, Lyra held Adelpha's rough hands as tears of distress fell from her

eyes. "Those years must have been difficult for you. Look at your hands. How much hard work did you

do to get such rough hands?"

Thinking of her past, Adelpha felt saddened and pouted her lips too.

"Since you know how hard it is to be a farmer, you should be more obedient in the future. If you ever

cause trouble for your mother and I again, I will make sure you stay in the countryside for the rest of

your life." Despite the sentimental occasion, Onyx did not forget to warn Adelpha.

"Mom, did you hear that?" Adelpha sobbed and acted like a spoiled child in her mother's arms.

While hugging her daughter in her arms, Lyra scolded, "Haven't you said enough during dinner? We're

finally reunited, so why do you have to spoil the mood by saying that? White, I'm telling you, I've

already made up my mind. I only have one daughter, and no one is to take her away from me!"

After that, she turned to look at Adelpha and immediately returned to being a kind mother. "There,

there. Don't be afraid. I'll bring you out for a blind date tomorrow and find you a husband that loves you.

After you have a home and not have to rely on your father, he won't be able to do anything to you!"

Speechless, Onyx said, "You're doting on her too much. You'll regret it someday!"

Once he said that, he threw the newspaper in his hand on the table and picked up the remote to turn

on the television.

As he was angry with the mother-daughter pair, he irritatedly switched channels. After going through a

few channels, he abruptly stopped his movement and stared at the television with a heavy expression.

It was an entertainment news channel and the host was reporting on a rich man's personal life. That

rich man just happened to be Alexander.

Though the news was not anything strange and it was not the first time Onyx saw such news, he was

shocked when he saw the woman standing beside Alexander.

"Isn't that Anastasia?" Lyra was quick to discover what was wrong. She let go of Adelpha's hand, sat on

the couch beside her before, and craned her neck to observe the woman inside the screen better.

"That's right. It's her, but why is she with Alexander?"

Hearing that, Adelpha froze as her hands that were beside her subconsciously clenched tightly. Her

eyes were filled with rage and unwillingness as she stared at the screen.

That was supposed to be her position, but Anastasia had stolen it!

Although they had not been in contact for seven years, Alexander had never said that they were over.

He was clearly waiting for her return, but that b*tch Anastasia took advantage of her absence and stole

her man!

Back then, Anastasia took away her place as Danilo Yorkson's apprentice and caused her to suffer

hardships in the countryside for seven years. Now, she stole the man she loved dearly. That b*tch must

be fated to ruin my life!

"The news on my phone says that Alexander has publicly cancelled his previous engagement for the

sake of Anastasia!" Lyra held her phone and read the news as if she had discovered something very

interesting.
