Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518 Transfer the Risk

As soon as Elise returned to her room, she opened the box that Celina gave her.

What Gabriel had said was true—other than a gown, there was a pair of high heels and some jewelry. It was apparent that Celina’s intention was to give her a hand when she was in need.

Elise carefully checked each and every corner of all the items and even examined the box, yet she couldn’t find any problem with them.

In the end, when she tried the gown, it looked surprisingly good on her as it accentuated her perfect figure.

Could it be that Celina has changed? After being thrown into an unfavorable situation at the mall, Celina has learnt that she won’t be able to gain anything from going against me, so she has changed her strategy and now wants to seek peace instead?

Elise peered at her reflection in the mirror. She seemed elegant with a tinge of sexiness, looking gentle yet capable. The clothing perfectly accentuated her beauty as a woman.

She had to admit that this was an impeccable piece of gown that would make the person who wore the attire the center of attention, no matter where she was.

However, is Celina really so generous?

Elise soon denied that possibility when she thought of the fact that nobody would be happy when someone else snatched her limelight when she was the main focus of the event. Therefore, without a doubt, there had to be a lurking danger that she had no knowledge of at the moment.

After a few seconds of contemplation in a daze, something came to her in a flash of inspiration. She snapped her finger and decided, “I know what to do. Since I can’t resolve the trouble, I’ll only have to transfer the risk!”

The next day, at the Anderson Residence, Faye dragged her drained body home. As soon as she stepped into the house, she plopped on the couch and massaged her neck.

During the ceremony that took place the day before yesterday, the slides had exposed a lot of ugly news, which resulted in Jackson detaining her and refusing to release her. He had managed to keep her in detention for 48 hours before she was freed.

Lying on the couch while staring at the ceiling, she recalled how close Jackson and Elise were with each other. That realization made her expression cold.

Faye now remembered that she had once seen the police in Elise’s yard before this, which proved that Elise worked together with them.

At that realization, she abruptly sat up as her expression became stern and wary. If that’s the case, the slides must be of Elise’s doing. It must be her! That b*tch is finally starting to fight back to steal the family fortune from me. I won’t allow Elise’s plan to succeed. The fact that the Anderson Family is still standing strong here is all because of my effort. How could she snatch everything from me now that she has returned? That’s outrageous!

“Miss Faye? Miss Faye?”

“What do you want?!”

The maid, who had called Faye from one side, received a scolding that weakened her feet. She bowed her head and handed the gift box to Faye with trembling hands and mumbled, “The butler from the Saunders Family sent this over yesterday. He said that Miss Celina has personally picked this for you so that you could wear it at tonight’s banquet.”

“Banquet? What banquet?” Faye was puzzled.

“It’s Miss Celina’s birthday banquet,” the maid respectfully answered.

“Okay, I understand. Place it down and you may leave,” Faye calmly responded.

As a matter of fact, Celina’s birthday had slipped her mind. With the Anderson Family’s broad network, she would have burned countless brain cells if she were to remember each and everyone’s birthday.

When the maid had left, she opened the gift box and her eyes brightened at the sight.
