Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 947

Ariel eyed Danny, secretly congratulating him.

It seems like he won't have to get nagged by Mom today, she thought.

But she was proven wrong the next moment.

"Didn't you say the company is getting listed soon? Why does your office only comprise one level?" Rebecca asked

coldly.

She was clearly nitpicking at everything Danny was doing.

Since Danny was worried about Clara, who was inside the lockers, he didn't answer Rebecca, which made him seem

a little out of it.

Ariel immediately explained on his behalf, "The market in Wegas is still in development, so we have to take things

slowly. If we put in too much effort in the beginning, it would cause us a loss when our products can't adapt to the

market in Mesdra. Although this office is quite small, it's enough."

Afraid Danny might still be in a daze, she deliberately called out, "Is that right, honey?"

It was then that Danny came back to his senses. He took his hands from his pockets before realizing what was

happening and nodded in agreement. "Yes. That's exactly what I mean too."

"Men should fight for their careers, but they shouldn't forget what they're fighting for. If they can't even take care

of their women, they will be considered a failure no matter how large their businesses are," Rebecca lectured.

"Mom, you're right. I will balance my life well." Danny's expression had become more serious, and he looked more

sincere.

"Alright then. I've said everything I came here to say, and since you're still busy with work, we'll take our leave first."

Seeing that she had reached her goal, Rebecca left in satisfaction.

"Mom has me by her side, so you don't have to worry." After saying that, Ariel quickly caught up with her mom.

"Ariel." Danny called her before notifying her seriously, "I need to help Alexander with something recently and have

to work late every day. Since heading back and forth from home wastes time, I might need to move in with him for

a few days."

"Sure." Ariel smiled. "Be sure to rest well and don't overwork yourself. Bye-bye."

"Bye…"

…

Griffith Manor.

It rained from the evening until late at night. While the rain was pitter-pattering outside, two children were reciting

something inside the manor.

Elise was in the middle of tutoring the children on Athesean phrasal verbs. The children had gone through more

than half of the thick book of proverbs.

Since the siblings had strong self-learning abilities and photographic memories, they only had to read those

proverbs twice to be able to apply them in sentences.

Rather than saying it was a tutoring session, it was more like Elise was there to accompany them. She had few

contributions.

However, she wasn't entirely useless, just like now.

"Mommy, what is the meaning of getting laid?" Alexia asked.

"Isn't there an explanation inside the book? Let me have a look." Elise took the book and read out the explanation,

"To describe the intimate act of copulation between a man and a woman…"

Elise was so embarrassed when she read out the last few words.

Educating children on this aspect had always been challenging for parents, and she wasn't an exception.

She scratched her head, thinking of how to explain it to the children simply for them to understand.

As a result, Alexia said something shocking, "Intimate. That means love, right? So, Daddy and Mommy get laid

every day! Mommy, did I use it right?!"

Elise was dumbfounded upon hearing that. How do you expect me to answer that? Who in the world can stand

getting laid every day?

"Alexia, you're absolutely right." Alexander had entered the room at some point and was staring at Elise with lustful

eyes. "I will make sure that I reach that goal every day."

"Don't even think about it!" Elise rolled her eyes. "First, you've got to know if your waist can bear the burden!"

"Believe me when I say that as long as you agree, it can be arranged at any moment." Alexander hooked his lips

ambiguously.

The couple was lost in their banter and were entirely unaware of their children's presence.

Alexia didn't understand what they were saying and had a puzzled expression.

In contrast to her, Irvin seemed resigned. "Daddy, Mommy, I can understand what you're saying."

Elise was so embarrassed that she blushed and didn't know how to respond.

Meanwhile, Alexander acted even more shamelessly. He strutted over to his wife before wrapping his arm around

her waist and bringing her to sit down on the couch, where he then crossed his legs leisurely, seemingly like an

arrogant and willful man.

Shaking his head, Irvin took over the task of educating his sister. "A child only needs to remember the spelling and

the paraphrase. I'll explain the meaning to you once you turn twelve."

"Oh." As Alexia was easy to fool, she obediently went on to the next phrasal verb.

Crash!

A fist-sized stone struck through the window and drew a parabola in the room before landing on the sibling's desk.

Alexia was so shocked that she jumped to her feet. Then, Elise pulled Alexia into her embrace and comforted her,

"Don't be afraid, Alexia. I'm here."

While she spoke, Alexander opened the window and jumped out before following the path where the stone came

from to chase after the culprit.

Meanwhile, Irvin also nervously ran downstairs and followed behind.

Once they were gone, only Alexia and Elise were left inside the manor. As Elise was afraid of another attack, she

held Alexia in her arms and hid behind the couch, only coming out after making sure that there were no more life-

threatening dangers.

She looked out the window before turning to look at the stone on the ground and finding that something was stuck

to it, so she approached it and picked it up. Then, she discovered that there was a note tied to the stone by a string.

After taking off the string, she carefully opened the note.

'Leave immediately!!!'

At the same time, there was a loud clap of thunder, and it felt like even the ground was shaking.

The note with large wording and triple exclamation marks gave a mysterious vibe.

Elise frowned. This note explains nothing. Is this a reminder or a warning?

At that moment, Alexander and Irvin came back with gloomy expressions.

"I didn't catch anyone. It seems like the culprit came prepared and ran away very quickly." Taking off his coat,

Alexander patted away the raindrops from his bangs. "It seems like I need to arrange for security personnel to

stand guard around this premises to protect you guys."

Elise retrieved a towel and helped him dry his hair while giving him the note she found.

When Alexander opened the note and took a look, he let out a heavy sigh. "It looks like we have trouble."

Boom!

Another wave of thunder and lightning came, illuminating the mountains in the distance and seemingly

foreshadowing that something menacing was approaching them.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, someone was knocking heavily on the door downstairs. Coupled with the booming thunder and lightning

and what had just happened, it was eerily strange for someone to be knocking now.

As the man of the house, Alexander was the first to react and stood up to head downstairs. "I'll go and have a look."

"Irvin, take care of your sister."

Elise was worried about Alexander, so she headed downstairs with him.

While the two made their way to the entrance, the knocking didn't stop but grew louder, obviously indicating that

the person outside was impatient.

Alexander approached the door, but his hand on the handle stopped abruptly.

He had to be sure that he focused all his attention on the person behind the door because if that person barged in,

he must immediately chase that person out the door.

Since his wife and children were behind him, he had to be on high alert.

At that moment, Alexander regretted letting his guard down here in Wegas and not being thoughtful enough to

protect his family.

Using a brief moment to get ready, Alexander pushed the door open with all his might. It was when he saw the

person outside that he finally felt relieved.

However, he didn't let his guard down as the person standing before him was wearing a black raincoat with a

combination lock briefcase in his hand, looking remarkably similar to those killers in horror movies.

Then, the person raised his head, revealing Danny's face.
