Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823 The Contract Ended Sooner

Elise was surprised. Narissa was always the one who suffered in silence in the past, but after seven years, she could now sternly reprimand the others. Indeed, everyone had changed a lot in the last few years.

But then again, the most important thing now was to settle the dispute at hand. Noticing that the short-haired boy appeared to be in pain, she said, “His arm is more important, and he appears to be in a lot of pain. Let’s get him to the hospital first.”

“No!” The lady refused to budge. “None of you can leave today unless I get an acceptable explanation!”

“Do you not have a heart? Your son is all pale and you don’t even feel sorry for him? Also, when did we say we are leaving? Do you think we are all as mean as you?” Narissa truly despised this type of person.

“I dare you to say it again! How could you act as if reason is on your side when your side is the one who is wrong…”

As the lady yelled, she moved closer to Narissa. A fight seemed to be imminent.

At this instant, the hostess of the banquet finally arrived.

“Mrs. Lawrence!” Jessamine walked straight to the well-dressed lady and smiled politely at her. “What happened? Why are you so angry?”

“It’s all because of these uncouth people!” The villain was usually the first to complain, and the lady drew her son in closer, pretending to be pitiful. “Look what they did to my son!”

“How could you lie through your teeth…” Narissa couldn’t stand her any longer and wanted to reason it out with her.

“Narissa.” Elise shook her head at Narissa and eye-signaled her to not act rashly.

Seeing that, Narissa had no choice but to remain silent.

Jessamine, on the other hand, had learned about what had happened while rushing here. The entire incident was simply children playing around, which somehow went a little too far, but it was not a big deal.

She swept her gaze across the crowd. When she saw Elise, she subconsciously fixed her gaze on her for a few more seconds before silently looking away.

This woman is special, she thought.

Then, Jessamine quickly returned her attention to the current dispute. As the host, she could not appear to be favoring any side.

But she knew it was the lady who was being unreasonable. Hence, she drew the lady to the side and said, “I heard that Mr. Lawrence is fighting for the jewelry distributorship in Cittadel, Mrs. Lawrence. Do you want me to tell Alexander about him?”

The lady’s eyes brightened instantly when she heard that. “Are you willing to lend a hand? If you are, we will be more than grateful.”

“Not a problem at all,” Jessamine replied. She didn’t forget to ask for what she wanted as well. “Today is a very special day to me. I’m wondering if you could show me some respect…”

Her hint was so obvious that the lady picked it up right away. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Griffith. I know what to do.”

Jessamine smiled brightly at that. “I’m not Mrs. Griffith yet.”

“Well, that is already certain.” The lady began to fawn over Jessamine. Establishing a good relationship with Alexander’s wife would undoubtedly bring many advantages in the future.

They then exchanged a tacit smile before turning back to face Elise and the others.

“For Miss Jessamine’s sake, I’ll stop pursuing what happened today.” The lady smiled as she led her son away after her words.

“Everyone, let’s enjoy the party today.” Jessamine played her part as the hostess and dismissed the surrounding guests.

When everyone had dispersed, Jessamine turned to face Elise. “Hello, miss. And you are?”

“Anastasia White.” Elise politely nodded. “Thank you for helping us. Miss Jessamine.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Jessamine pursed her lips and looked surprisingly at the three children beside Elise. “Are the three of them your children?”
