Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 35

Elise stood next to a pond in the Griffith Residence’s huge garden, feeling the pleasant evening breeze blowing at her.

Just when she sat down on the bench, Jamie came out of nowhere and patted her shoulder before sitting beside her. “Boss, did you come here to hide?”

She was a little surprised to find him here. “Why are you here?”

He shrugged his shoulders and answered, “My old man has something else to attend to, so he sent me here.” The Keller Family also had a high status in the city while also having a business relationship with the Griffith Family, so it wasn’t a surprise that his family received an invitation. “By the way…” He looked around and purposely lowered his voice. “Alexander’s people have stopped looking for you, so they probably won’t be looking for you anytime soon.”

“I hope so. From now on, I want you to reject any offer for me to join a car race no matter the price.”

“Don’t worry, Boss. I understand.” After that, he stood up and said, “I’m going inside now. We shouldn’t be seen together.”

Elise hummed and he quickly went inside.

However, the moment he left, another unwanted visitor came over to her. It was none other than Ashlyn.

With a bright smile, she walked over to Elise. “Congrats for winning the Math Olympiad, Elise.”

Elise was not close with her, so she politely replied, “Thank you.”

However, Ashlyn smiled and sat next to her. “Actually, I understand your concerns. You come from a poor family in the countryside, so you think that it is impossible for you to marry into the Griffith Family solely based on your identity even though you are lucky enough to gain Grandpa Griffith’s appreciation. That is why you work hard on your studies because it is the only way for you to gain any status. Am I right?”

Listening to her, Elise remained emotionless as she neither agreed nor refuted her comments.

To her, the opinion of an outsider didn’t matter at all. Besides, she didn’t plan to marry into the Griffith Family since she only promised Robin to stay here for a year. As long as she didn’t have any feelings for the Griffiths, she could leave immediately.

Seeing that she was being ignored, Ashlyn was a little annoyed inside, but she remained calm and revealed a slight smirk. “If I were you, I wouldn’t waste my energy studying all these pointless things. Instead, I would find myself a better cosmetic surgeon…”

She was obviously making fun of Elise’s looks.

“Ashlyn, don’t you think that’s a bit harsh? Why are people from the countryside inferior to others? Or are you saying having a pretty face is a nice stepping stone on being successful? I’m sorry, but our views don’t align with each other, so there’s no point in continuing this conversation.”

After that, Elise stood up and was about to leave, but Ashlyn halted her.

“Elise, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because Grandpa Griffith favors you. I can still ruin your reputation with a snap of my fingers.”

“What are you trying to do?” The moment her words came out, Ashlyn saw someone from the corner of her eye. Instantly, she revealed a teasing smile and pushed herself using Elise’s hand.

Elise instinctively tried to grab her, but it was too late. With a splash, Ashlyn fell into the pond.

“Help! Please save me! Help!” She kept on crying for help while struggling in the water.

Before Elise could understand what was going on, someone came over, took off his jacket and jumped into the pond to save Ashlyn.

“Elise, I did nothing wrong to you, so why did you push me?!” Ashlyn immediately questioned as soon as she came up.
