Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 I Hope You Learned Your Lesson

After watching the video, the onlooking people couldn’t help but sigh while glancing at Ashlyn with scathing gazes. At this moment, she couldn’t wait to bury herself inside a hole in shame.

Hugh, who was Ashlyn’s father, stood in the crowd with an exasperated expression. When Ashlyn saw her father, she felt as though she was clutching to a lifeboat. “Dad, please help me! Please!”

However, Hugh was filled with rage as he shook her hand away and turned toward Jonah. “Mr. Griffith, I’m really sorry for this embarrassment. Ashlyn just got back from abroad, so she still doesn’t understand how we do things here. Again, I’m sorry for the embarrassment.”

“Mr. Lawson, do you think we’ll neglect all her actions because of a simple excuse like that?” Alexander slowly walked toward him and said that with a calm tone, but his words instantly caused Ashlyn’s expressions to change drastically.

“Alexander, I—” She bit her lower lip tightly. Not only did she shoot herself in her foot, she also left a bad impression in Alexander’s mind.

She was really regretting her actions, but there was no way for her to turn back time.

However, Alexander ignored her and said to Hugh directly, “Mr. Lawson, our family is very protective of our members. No matter how useless Elise is, she is still a part of the family. Have you ever considered what implications this incident may have on the reputation of the Griffith Family?”

Hugh initially wanted to be the peacemaker. After all, the Lawsons and the Griffiths had been friends for many years, so Jonah would consider his reputation and not look into the incident too much. Unexpectedly, Alexander, who was infamous for being difficult to deal with in the industry, suddenly appeared to handle the situation himself. If I offend Alexander today, it’ll definitely affect the Lawson Family’s business in the future.

After weighing drawbacks, he quickly pulled Ashlyn over. “I want you to apologize to Miss Sinclair right now.”

Ashlyn, however, didn’t expect that her own father would give her up. “Dad, what are you doing?!”

“Apologize to her now. If she generously forgives you, this matter will end here. However, if she doesn’t forgive you today, you can forget about going back home tonight.”

At first, everyone was unfazed by his words but after listening to him carefully, they couldn’t help but praise him as a shrewd businessman who had been in this industry for a long time.

Every one of his words was directed straight at Elise. Indirectly, he was saying that if Elise was a petty person and refused to forgive Ashlyn, she would cause Ashlyn to be cast aside by her own family.

What an intelligent move!

Ashlyn didn’t want to apologize but at this point, she had no other choice. “I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair! I was wrong.”

Meanwhile, Jonah squinted his eyes and remained quiet while everyone waited for Elise’s answer.

Elise knew that even though Jonah wanted to protect her, he wouldn’t wish to turn against the Lawson Family since the two families had many years of friendship. However, she was unwilling to allow herself to be wronged as she always had a strong sense of principle. I won’t mess with others if they just leave me alone, but if they think that I’ll keep quiet and accept this, I must retaliate.

“Miss Lawson, you don’t really need to apologize to me.”

For a moment, Ashlyn was startled as she suppressed her anger and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just want to tell you that I’m not the person you should apologize to. Firstly, you should apologize to Jack because you betrayed his trust and friendship. Secondly, you should apologize to your father because you are not the only one being embarrassed in front of everyone. Lastly, you should apologize to everyone in this hall because not only has your little act dampened everyone’s mood, you’ve also wasted everyone’s precious time.”
