Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 121

Remarkably Brave

Elise helped Alexander into his room and to his bedside. “Take a rest.” After saying this, she had intended to leave, but he stopped her and uttered, “I’m thirsty.”

Acknowledging him, she poured him a glass of water without any hesitation. “Here you go.”

As he looked at the glass of water in front of him, he reached for it and took a sip. The temperature is just right. “Thank you!”

With a smile, she replied, “No problem. Rest well. I’ll be going back now.”

This time, he didn’t try to stop her and instead watched as she left the room. As soon as she closed the door, the expression on his face went back to normal. Images of her kept popping in his mind as he gazed at the glass of warm water in his hand.

For example, images of her accompanying him as he overcame difficulties with the Griffiths, organizing his documents at the company, and openly defending him in the public eye. All these memories of her were deeply imprinted in his mind. When did I start caring about her every move?

And when did I start getting concerned about how she felt?

He couldn’t find the answer to this question, nor could he get her out of his head.

……

As night fell, Alexander had a long dream. In it, he found himself at a festive scene with guests coming and going. Curious, he moved through the crowd and arrived at a hall.

“Mr. Griffith, will you take this woman to be your lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, till death do you part?”

Hearing the master of ceremonies’ voice, he was perplexed. I’m getting married? When was this decided? And who’s the bride? With all his might, he wriggled through the crowd to the front and finally saw clearly who the bride was this time.

Elise? Why’s it her?

Then, in his dream, she looked toward him all of a sudden and gave him a sweet smile.

……

With a loud gasp, Alexander woke up from his dream. “Phew! It was all just a dream!” he blurted out and stared outside the window to find that it was pitch black. Then, he looked at the clock on the wall. It was 3.00AM!

Stunned, he couldn’t believe that he would have such a dream. It must have been because she had often been appearing before him recently that he started having hallucinations.

For the rest of the night, he had trouble getting back to sleep, so he decided that he might as well settle some of the company’s matters until daylight. As soon as the morning sun shone into the room, he changed into a tracksuit and went out.

Meanwhile, Elise had a good night’s sleep. After getting out of bed, she drew the curtains to let the sunshine in. “What nice weather!”

Then, she gave her body a good stretch. The next moment, she saw Alexander jogging outside. Are his legs all better?

Though she was puzzled, she looked away. Right after, she washed up and changed into a set of new clothes before going out. As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Alexander. “Good morning!” she greeted. Unlike before, where he would greet her back politely, he ignored her and walked past her back into his room.

Confused, she didn’t give it much thought and headed downstairs.

After shutting the door, he realized that his heart was racing furiously. “What’s going on?” Why am I getting more excited than before when I see her?

“When are you coming down? I’m going to be late,” she knocked on his door and said impatiently. Immediately, the door opened and revealed half of his body. “My legs aren’t well. I’ll ask Danny to send you.”

After saying this, he was about to close the door when she stopped him. “I don’t see anything wrong with your legs! I saw you jogging in the morning,” she grumbled.

However, he insisted, “My legs haven’t fully recovered yet. It’s really inconvenient.”

Knowing that he was a hard-headed man, she brushed off her suspicion and said, “Fine. I’ll leave, then.”

With that, she turned to leave and went to school with Danny.

The lush greeneries of the school yard gave off a youthful and vibrant energy. As Elise got out of the car, she waited for Danny before entering the school. “Boss, could you explain the trigonometric functions to me? I took a look at the textbook last night, but I still don’t really get it.”

Upon hearing this, she conceded. “The textbook only covers the basics. For the final revision, doing practice questions would be more helpful. I’ll lend you my exercise book later. It might be of help.”

Happily, he beamed. “Thank you, Boss!”

Then, the two walked into the classroom in unison. Previously, Danny had always been the perfect example of a student who was ignorant and incompetent, causing many problems to teachers. However, all the teachers turned a blind eye to his behavior as he was a Griffith.

But recently, the ignorant and incompetent Danny started to take his studies seriously. He would pay great attention in class no matter what subject it was. Initially, the teachers thought that he was simply putting on a show, but this actually went on for a week, so the teachers were greatly impressed.

“Danny, come and solve this problem.” Mr. Winfrey, the mathematics teacher, called him. At once, everyone turned to stare at Danny with a look of disbelief.

“Why did Mr. Winfrey ask Danny to answer the question?”

“He’s a student from the last row. Teachers have usually given up on them. How did Mr. Winfrey notice him?”

“Maybe Mr. Winfrey called Danny by mistake. Besides, Danny might not be able to answer the question even if Mr. Winfrey really did call him.”

The other students gossiped softly, but Elise overheard it all. With her brows raised, she looked at Danny and cheered him on silently.

At first, Danny didn’t want to go up to the podium, but he stood up as soon as she encouraged him.

With the other students’ astonished gazes on him, he walked up the podium. “It’s alright if you can’t solve it. You’re remarkably brave for coming up here.” Mr. Winfrey handed him the chalk.

Taking over the chalk, he looked at the question on the blackboard. In less than two minutes, he had already come up with a solution. With that, he started writing it so smoothly and without hesitation that the other students watched with their eyes wide open. The classroom fell silent instantaneously as they stared at him.

Reading Can Take You to Places

After finishing, Danny handed the chalk to Mr. Winfrey. “Here you go. I’ve solved it.”

Looking at Danny’s mathematical solution, Mr. Winfrey couldn’t help but feel amazed. He couldn’t believe that Danny could improve so much in just a week. He even suspected that Danny had been acting ignorant and stupid all this while.

“Well done! Your steps and answer are correct. It looks like you’ve improved a lot, Danny. Other students should learn from you.”

Immediately, the corner of Danny’s mouth tugged upwards as he made his way down the podium with his head held high while he enjoyed the attention that the other students were giving him because it was something that he had never experienced before in his 18 years of life.

“You did great,” Elise whispered to him. Right then, he smiled even brighter and whispered into her ear, “That’s because you taught me well, Boss.”

“Don’t be glib. The end is yet to come. We still have to work hard.”

Hearing this, he gave her a formal salute. “Yes, Boss! I’ll keep up the good work!”

With a smile, she resumed reviewing her practice questions and wrote in her book.

During recess, he stayed in his seat and did revision exercises instead of doing what he would usually do. He even rejected his friends’ invitation to play basketball.

That day, what he said most was, “Boss, how should I answer this question? Could you explain question 17? How should I draw the force analysis diagram for physics? Can you teach me?”

Even Mikayla was surprised by his sudden change of behavior. “Elise, why do I feel like Danny’s become a totally different person? Is he still the Danny I know?”

Elise wasn’t sure how to answer this question, so she turned to glance at Danny and said, “I guess he’s really changed. After all, he can’t stay at 250 forever.”

Confused, Mikayla asked, “250? What do you mean by that?”

“His grades! His total score has always been at the edge of 250. Perhaps he came around and decided to stay away from such an unlucky number,” Elise explained.

Upon hearing this, Mikayla couldn’t help but laugh.

“Now that you mentioned it, Danny seems so inspirational all of a sudden. Besides, I admire you even more right now for training your apprentice so well without spending much effort.”

Unconvinced, Elise smiled and scratched her head. “This actually means that he’s talented. I didn’t really do much.”

After all, a teacher would show the way, but the outcome depended on the student’s own effort. Elise knew this very well.

After school, Elise waited at the school entrance for quite some time, yet Alexander still had not arrived. Even when most of the students had left, she still did not see his car. So, she took out her phone and called him. As soon as the call went through, she couldn’t help but ask, “Look at the time. Why are you not here yet?”

However, it was Cameron who answered the phone. Staring at the tightly shut meeting room door, he explained, “Miss Sinclair, Mr. Griffith’s still in a meeting. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to pick you up. Why don’t you call a taxi?”

Biting her lip, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll go home on my own.”

Though she had said so, a sense of disappointment overwhelmed her as soon as she hung up the phone. “Whatever. I’ll just call a cab.”

Just as she was about to book a cab, a cool-looking Porsche stopped right in front of her. The window was wound down, revealing Danny’s charming face. “Get in!”

She looked up at him. Without any hesitation, she kept her phone and hopped into the car.

“Alex sent me a message saying that he can’t pick you up today and asked me to do so instead. And I happened to be looking for you,” he said with a smile on his face. Humming a tune, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Not paying attention to what he said, she looked down and opened her textbook. Then, she realized that they were not taking the road back home, so she raised her eyes and questioned, “Where are we going?”

“You’ll find out later.” He smiled sheepishly.

In truth, she felt that he had been acting really weird that day, but she didn’t ask much until he brought her to a library.

“Why did you bring me here?” she asked curiously. Rubbing his head embarrassedly, he told her, “Hahaha… To do revision, of course. This library’s owned by the Griffith Group, and it’s not open to the general public. I only found out about it after hearing it from Alex. Come, let’s immerse ourselves in the inescapable sea of knowledge.”

Hearing this, she went speechless.

Right after, the two walked into the library. It was huge and had seven floors in total. All the books were organized according to their genres.

There was a librarian on each floor. When they saw Danny, they stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Young Master Griffith.”

“It’s alright. Just do your stuff. We’re just here to do our homework.” He waved at them.

Seeing this, they retreated. Meanwhile, Elise’s gaze never left the books as soon as she came in.

“Danny, go ahead and do your homework. I’m going to take a walk around.”

“Sure, go ahead! I’ll look for you if there’s something that I don’t understand,” he replied.

With that, she walked along the bookshelf and realized that there was a wide range of books here, including out-of-print books. It was like a paradise to avid readers.

Just then, a book caught her attention. It was a thick, ancient book in Traditional Chinese. She took it off the shelf and started flipping through it.

Time passed very quickly. Soon, night had fallen, but she was so absorbed in the book that she didn’t realize it. Finally, Danny found her. “Turns out you’re here, Boss. It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”

It was only then that she came back to her senses. It was already 7.00PM when she checked the time. Wanting to read more, she glanced at the book in her hands and folded the corner of the page before putting it back in its original place.

“Are we coming again tomorrow?” she asked.

Smiling, he gazed at her and nodded. “Of course. I realized that my head’s clearer when I do my homework here. It’s as if I’m being influenced by these books.”

“Reading can take you places.” She couldn’t help but chuckle.

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 123

You’re Not Crazy, Are You?

“That’s true.”

At that moment, Danny was regretful. Why didn’t I realize that reading and studying were so pleasurable?

“Let’s go home. We’ll come again tomorrow.”

With that, Danny and Elise made their way out of the library. Then, he started the car and drove them home.

It was already pretty late when they reached home. Just returning from work, Alexander bumped into Elise and Danny, who were chatting happily as they came in.

“Alex, you’re home!” Danny greeted.

After acknowledging Danny, Alexander glanced at Elise, who was standing next to Danny, and asked, “Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?”

“We just went for a walk,” she answered with a chuckle.

It was obvious that Danny didn’t want Alexander to know about his current situation, so she didn’t expose him. Instead, she waved at them. “I’ll go upstairs first.”

“Goodnight, Boss!” Danny waved back.

After watching her go up the stairs, Alexander asked softly, “When did you two become so close? Didn’t you find her annoying before?”

“No, I didn’t! We’ve always been close. What happened before was just a little misunderstanding.” Danny snickered.

Alexander was quite surprised to hear so because he knew what kind of person Danny was. Danny would come up with a thousand excuses if he hated someone; on the contrary, he would put his heart on his sleeve if he treated someone as his friend.

“It’s nice to know that it was just a misunderstanding. It’s late. You should rest too.”

“Okay. Goodnight, Alex.”

With that, Alexander made his way up the stairs.

The next morning, Danny knocked on Elise’s door. Half-awake, she got up reluctantly in a daze. “Danny, what are you doing so early in the morning?”

Then, he handed her a pair of headphones. “It’s a good idea to listen to Chinese listening comprehension in the morning. ”

Upon hearing this, she was at a loss for words. Staring at him, she asked unhappily, “You’re not crazy, are you?”

“I’m just sharing a good way to study Chinese with you. Besides, I’m not taking up much of your time. I just woke you up ten minutes earlier than usual.” He laughed.

Thinking he must have gone mad, she chided, “Don’t wake me up next time. I just want to sleep ten minutes more.”

Right after, she closed the door with a loud bang.

In spite of that, he wasn’t annoyed at all. Whatever. I’ll listen to it myself if she doesn’t want to. With that, he turned to leave. Just then, Danny saw Alexander coming out of his room, whereupon he greeted, “Good morning, Alex!”

Seeing that Danny was wearing his headphones, Alexander asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”

“Oh, nothing. I came to wake Elise up.” He giggled.

Alexander was slightly upset seeing Danny’s unusually enthusiastic attitude toward Elise. However, he had no right to say anything.

“Let’s have breakfast. You need to go to school in a while.”

Danny agreed, and the brothers went downstairs to have breakfast. Halfway, Elise finally came down with an exhausted look on her face. As she pulled the chair out, she said to Danny, “Don’t wake me up so early in the morning next time.”

“Okay,” Danny conceded. Then, like a little lackey, he handed her a glass of milk. “You should drink more milk. It’s a rich source of protein.”

Instinctively, she reached for the glass and took a sip.

“Hmm… Not bad.”

Alexander put on a poker face as he watched the interaction between the two. Putting down his cutleries, he told Elise, “I had something going on yesterday. I’ll take you to school today.”

Just as Alexander finished, Danny quickly replied, “There’s no need. I can go with her, so there’s no need to trouble you since there’s so much to do at the company. Go ahead and settle the company’s matters.”

“Yeah, we’ll just go to school ourselves,” she concurred.

Looking at both of them, Alexander had no choice but to refrain from what he was about to say. Instead, he responded, “If that’s the case, I’ll leave first.”

The servant hurriedly handed him his briefcase when he stood up and headed toward the door. Taking it, he left without the slightest hesitation.

Yet, he didn’t leave at once after coming out of the house but waited in his car instead.

He waited until Danny and Elise came out and watched as they got into the car happily. Finally, he started the car and drove away after they left.

In the car, Elise suggested, “Today’s last period is a self-study session, so let’s head to the library earlier.”

“Sure. I’ll wait for you at the school gate,” Danny replied.

She couldn’t stop thinking about the ancient book that she had not finished reading yesterday, while he found that the library’s environment was perfect for studying. Hence, with a tacit understanding, they slipped out of class during the last period.

When they reached the library, they proceeded to do their own things with unspoken understanding.

She was reading on the second floor while he was revising on the first floor. Neither of them bothered each other. With that, both of them stayed in the library until 9.00PM before they finally left reluctantly.

It was already 10.00PM when they reached home.

All of a sudden, Elise realized that it was Wednesday—the day that she was supposed to teach Alexander Arisian. Quickly, she typed on her laptop, then she sighed in relief as it turned out that he was offline. At the same time, she was surprised as he was usually on time for the lesson. What happened today?

Meanwhile, the lights of Maybach in the Griffith Residence’s yard had been turned off. Yet, Alexander sat rigidly in the car with no intention to get out. With a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, he took a long drag and exhaled circles of smoke while he recalled the sight of Danny and Elise coming home together earlier.

Frowning, he stubbed out the cigarette and pulled out his car keys before getting out of the car.

It was also then that he realized that it was Wednesday, and he was supposed to learn Arisian. He almost forgot.

Immediately, he went into his room and turned on his laptop. After going online, he sent Sare a message.

Elise had been waiting for him online all the while. When she saw his message, she typed on the keyboard swiftly and replied to him.

After receiving her message, he got up and took off his coat before going into the bathroom, then the sound of water rushing came from the bathroom. Ten minutes later, he walked to his laptop while drying the drops of water from his hair before sitting down and starting his Arisian lesson with Sare.

An hour passed by very quickly.

After their lesson, he sent her a private message: ‘I heard that there’s a batch of good stones that had just arrived in Athesea. Are you interested?’

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 124

Ideal Stone

Ever since Elise learned about stone gambling from Alexander in Aris the last time, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Of course, she wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity now that he had brought it up voluntarily.

‘Of course! Where?’

Seeing her response, he sent her the coordinates. ‘Let’s go take a look at 10.00AM tomorrow.’

With that, she sent him an okay emoji.

Then, he closed his laptop and stretched his back. Gazing at the starry night sky outside the window, he got up and walked to the balcony. At that moment, he didn’t know what was happening to him. Every time he had nothing to do, he would think of Elise. His chest would ache a little as he recalled how she and Danny talked and laughed happily.

Narrowing his eyes, he tried to get it out of his head. It seems that I’m not busy enough. I should find more things to do.

The next day, Elise and Danny headed to class together. In her mind, all she could think of was checking out the new batch of stones with Alexander at 10.00AM later. Hence, she came up with an excuse to ask the teacher for a day off.

Mr. Winfrey looked at her and advised earnestly, “Though your foundation’s good, it isn’t good asking for days off so frequently. You should focus more on your studies.”

Cheekily, she replied, “I know, Mr. Winfrey. I’ll take note of that.”

In truth, he had high hopes for Elise, and he could see that she was losing focus. However, he couldn’t do much about it, so he warned, “This will be the last time I approve your application for leave this semester.”

We’re halfway through the semester already, so I only have another half left that I can’t apply for leave. It shouldn’t be a problem, she thought. Hence, she agreed unhesitatingly.

Right after, she exited the campus with the leave application. This time, she was fully prepared with a spare set of clothes. She changed into them in a public washroom, and by the time she came out, she had a completely new look. She was now Sare. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she checked if everything looked alright before booking a taxi to meet Alexander.

Athesea’s stone gambling market wasn’t big, and there was only one street that had a stone shop. As soon as she arrived, she sent Alexander a message. In less than two minutes, a black Maybach stopped right in front of her. “Get in.”

Though she was puzzled, she opened the door and hopped into the car.

“Aren’t we going to check out the stones? Where are we going?”

“You won’t be able to find any good stones here. I’m taking you to an exclusive seller.”

Alexander drove along another path and passed by the stone gambling street. After a five-minute drive, the car finally stopped at the entrance of an old-fashioned courtyard.

“Come. Let’s get out of the car.”

Confused, she unbuckled her seatbelt and looked around. There was barely anyone there, making the place seem deserted.

“Go in,” he walked up to her and said. Then, she pointed at the mansion and asked, “There?”

After humming a reply, he led the way. In spite of her perplexity, she placed her trust in him and followed along.

The mansion was huge, with a pond in the foyer. After walking toward the end of the corridor along the pond, they finally reached the living room.

“Welcome, Mr. Griffith,” the servant greeted respectfully. With a slight nod, he informed, “I’m here to take a look at the stones. Is Mr. Jordan here today?”

“He’s in the backyard; so are the stones. I’ll escort you there,” the servant responded.

With that, Elise and Alexander followed the servant to the backyard. When they reached, the quiet mansion had suddenly turned lively. Many people were gathered in the backyard, carefully examining and choosing the stones.

“This stone seems nice. What’s your price, Mr. Jordan?”

“It isn’t worth much. I’ll sell it to you for half a million dollars if you like it.”

Hearing this, the customer seemed satisfied. “Sure, I’ll take it! Please ask the craftsman to open it.”

“Please make your payment this way, Mr. Lewis. I’ll find a skilled craftsman to have it opened for you.” Jordan nodded.

After escorting Mr. Lewise out, Jordan made his way toward Alexander and Elise and welcomed them. “Welcome, Mr. Griffith. Who’s this?”

“She’s my friend, Miss Sare,” Alexander introduced.

She greeted Jordan, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Jordan.”

“This way, please, Miss Sare!”

Jordan brought them over to a batch of stones and introduced, “These stones were just shipped over this morning. They’re in good condition, and the probability of containing jadeite is pretty high. You’re a regular customer here who knows the market, and we’ve gotten used to your practice. What kind of stone are you looking for today?”

“I’ll take a look first,” Alexander said instead.

Knowing Alexander’s temperament, Jordan replied, “You two take a look around. Call me if you need anything.”

As soon as Jordan left, Alexander turned to Elise. “Give it a try. Let’s see if you have a good eye.”

Understanding that the stones here would cost at least 300,000, her mindset shifted. It would be a waste to buy a 300,000-dollar stone for practice.

“Let me take a look first since I’m not in a hurry to buy,” she responded as she examined the stones. The stones were in different shapes and sizes, with distinctive shades of color. She didn’t dare to choose because she knew very little about stone gambling. Thus, she pulled Alexander over and asked, “Why don’t you choose one?”

He turned and gazed at her. “I have a rule when picking stones here. I only choose once and will not choose a second time no matter what.”

She had heard of this rule before. Though some stone gamblers loved stone gambling, they were good at self-control and would never make another reckless purchase after buying an inferior stone. They would also never throw money just because they found good stones containing jadeite. Instead, they would trust their instincts and buy the stone that they fancy at first glance.

“Did you find a stone that you like?”

Taking a look at the stones, he answered, “No.”

She bit her lip upon hearing this and took him to another pile of stones. After looking around, she found a stone with a slightly darker color. Thinking that it was a good choice, she asked, “What do you think of that one?”

With a quick look, he stated, “It looks dull. Besides, the chances of it containing jadeite is low since it’s placed at such an isolated spot. Stones like this are generally quite cheap.”

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 125

There’s Jadeite in Here

Hearing that, Elise suddenly lost all interest. “Mr. Griffith, I’m getting dizzy from looking at so many stones.”

“You have to be calm when picking out stones, and never be impulsive. If you really want to understand stone gambling, you’ll have to learn to keep your patience in check,” Alexander said.

Looking as though she understood what he said, Elise answered, “Alright, Mr. Griffith. I got it.”

After making another round, Alexander suddenly came to a stop, his eyes fixed on a very huge stone. Seeing that, Elise asked anxiously, “Mr. Griffith, do you have your eyes on this stone?”

Instead of answering her, he walked closer and studied the stone carefully. “This stone is not bad.”

Right after the words left his lips, Jordan walked over. “You have sharp eyes, Mr. Griffith. This is the best stone from its batch.”

Raising his brow slightly, Alexander ordered, “Tell me the price.”

The smile on Jordan’s face widened. “Are you thinking of buying it, Mr. Griffith?”

“Yeah, it’s a good piece of stone. If the price is alright, I’ll buy it.”

“It’s a good piece of stone, indeed, but the price is on the high end. If you’re really sincere about buying it, I’ll sell it to you for this much,” he said anxiously and opened up his palm to show Alexander the figure five.

Confused, Elise asked, “5 million?”

Jordan chuckled. “It’s 50 million.”

Stunned, Elise thought, He’s asking for 50 million for a regular stone? That’s way too much! What if it turns out to be a useless stone after cutting? We will make a huge loss, then! “Mr. Griffith, you really plan to buy it?”

Instead of answering her, he turned to her and asked, “What do you think, Miss Sare?”

This question placed her in a tight spot, but she believed that Alexander must have his own ideas. Hence, she answered, “Mr. Griffith, any decision you make is fine.”

An attractive grin spread across Alexander’s face at her reply, and he said to Jordan, “I’m buying this stone.”

Delighted, Jordan said, “Mr. Griffith, you really have a keen eye. This is really a good piece of stone, and you won’t make a loss with it for sure!”

Taking out a black card from his pocket, Alexander said, “I’ll pay by card.”

Hurriedly, Jordan sent his employee to make the card payment and immediately asked, “Mr. Griffith, would you like to have your stone cut right now?”

“Yes. Get your best craftsman here to do it.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. I’ll make the arrangements for you right away,” Jordan replied.

The news that a stone was sold for 50 million created a huge uproar in an instant, and everyone was curious as to who bought a stone for that price. After asking around and finding out that the person was Alexander, they didn’t find it such a surprise anymore because everyone knew just how wealthy the Griffith Group was.

Despite that, they were still curious what sort of jadeite was inside this stone, which was worth 50 million. Hence, when they knew that Alexander was planning to cut the stone on the spot, they all gathered around and wanted to see for themselves.

“Mr. Griffith, how would you like to cut this stone?” the craftsman asked.

Taking a look at the stone, Alexander replied, “Start from one third of its width.”

The craftsman nodded. “Okay. I’m going to start, then.”

With the help of a few people, the stone was placed on the cutter with all eyes focused on it. Meanwhile, Elise waited while holding her breath, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt on both sides.

While the machine was working, she didn’t even dare to blink her eyes as she kept staring at the stone, worried that she might miss a thing.

The entire process of cutting a stone was a lengthy one, and every step was especially important. Suddenly, someone from the crowd cried out, “There’s green! There’s jadeite…”

Hearing that, Elise couldn’t help but feel happy. However, the green surface was only as wide as a finger, and it made everyone a little disappointed because it was a very small green surface for a stone this huge. Even though the color looked good, it was considered a massive loss as the stone was bought for 50 million.

“Be patient. Only a small part is cut, and not even one third of the stone is cut through yet. Maybe there’ll be more green later.”

“The surface of this stone looks good. I think it has more green than this, so there’s probably still hope.”

As the onlookers speculated amongst themselves, Elise felt that her heart had already leaped to her throat; never in her life had she been this nervous before. On the other hand, Alexander appeared calm and composed the entire time without any emotions on his face.

“Mr. Griffith, you’re just way too calm,” Elise pointed out, feeling a little envious of his composure.

“Yeah, I’m alright,” he said flatly.

Pursing her lips, Elise thought, Looks like I really need to learn to be composed and calm. The person who spent 50 million is so relaxed, so why am I so nervous when it wasn’t my money spent?

After thinking it through, she relaxed quite a lot and wasn’t as nervous as before. Still, her eyes were glued to the stone. As the craftsman cut deeper and deeper, the cut soon reached one third of the stone, but there was no more jadeite. Even the craftsman’s hands were clammy; this was a prized stone from his employer’s store, and he was worried that the reputation of the store would be affected if there was no jadeite in this stone.

“Hang on.”

Just then, Alexander suddenly called for him to stop, whereupon the craftsman paused immediately, asking, “Mr. Griffith, do you have any instructions?”

After taking a look, he answered, “Cut it right in the middle.”

His instructions shocked the craftsman. “Mr. Griffith, it’s very risky to cut it in the middle. If—”

Before he could finish, Alexander interrupted him, “It’s alright. Just cut it in half.”

Seeing how determined he was, the craftsman couldn’t say anything else and returned to the machine before asking some men to change the position of the stone until the cutting edge was right in the middle. After making sure the edge was on the middle spot, he began to cut it slowly.

Even the crowd was stunned that such a huge stone was going to be cut in the middle. What would happen if the jadeite in it was destroyed?

And so, after the cut in the middle, a complete stone was sliced into half, but both parts had no signs of green. Disappointment washed over the crowd, and even Elise was stunned, thinking, So, he lost 50 million?

“I didn’t expect that a stone with such an astronomical price only has jadeite the size of a finger. Looks like Mr. Jordan’s goods aren’t worthy at all.”

“I was even thinking of buying a stone from him, but from the looks of it, there’s a high chance I’ll lose my money.”

“Don’t buy any for now. This batch of stones must be bad. Let’s browse a little more…”

Listening to their conversations, Elise peered at Alexander with a worried expression. When she was about to say something, Alexander said to the craftsman, “Take a look at the left edge. What’s that?”

At his reminder, only then did the craftsman notice that there was a little shade of red on the left edge.

Reaching out his finger, he felt the edge and cried out in surprise, “Hurry, continue to cut it. There’s jadeite in here!”

Ellimane

The situation took a hundred eighty degrees turn with the craftsman’s words, and there was also a deep, hidden meaning when he said there was jadeite. Usually, people would say that there was green whenever jade was discovered at the cutting of the stone. However, the craftsman said that there was jadeite instead. Just one word difference could change the meaning entirely.

In hurried but careful moves, the craftsman ground the stone, and the red spot gradually became more obvious. Seeing that, everyone exclaimed in shock, “Blood jade! It’s a blood jade!”

With just that, the entire place broke into an uproar, and even Elise stared at the stone in disbelief.

“H-How is this possible? It’s actually blood jade, which is no less expensive than imperial jade!”

“You’re so lucky to have gotten the blood jade, Mr. Griffith. This blood jade is incredibly rare, and if you have it made into jewelry, it will be priceless.”

“Congratulations, Mr. Griffith! I wonder if you’re willing to sell your stone to me.”

“I’m interested as well, Mr. Griffith. Why don’t you sell it to me?”

……

The change of attitude from the crowd was so swift that Elise didn’t even have the time to react to the situation. Then, Jordan came over with a wide smile on his face. “Congratulations on the blood jade, Mr. Griffith!”

Returning his smile, Alexander answered, “You’re too kind, Mr. Jordan.”

Jordan added, “Honestly speaking, I got this stone back six months ago, and it was just laying there as a stockpile. Many people had also asked me about the price before this, but they all backed off when they heard the price. Unexpectedly, you had the courage to buy it straight away, and it turned out that there’s actually blood jade in the stone. You wouldn’t be able to make a loss even if you wanted to!”

Everything ordan said was true; according to the market price of blood jade right now and the total surface of blood jade Alexander had in his stone, he was guaranteed to earn 50 million. If there was more jade after further grinding and cutting, then it would be a different price.

While they were speaking, the craftsman cried out in surprise again, “The entire stone is made up of blood jade!”

Another round of commotion broke out from the crowd; it was already really rare to have found the blood jade, but it turned out to be an entire piece. It was now beyond their estimation just how much this stone was worth.

“Mr. Griffith, I have to say that you’re really lucky to have such a huge piece of blood jade,” Jordan said earnestly, excitement rushing through him the entire time. Meanwhile, after the people saw that the stone had blood jade, they all wanted to buy some stones as well. All of a sudden, they started to pick and buy stones, and the shop started to get busy.

“Mr. Griffith, you have my admiration even more now,” Elise admitted in a serious tone.

Maintaining his composure, Alexander answered, “Miss Sare, do you know which kind of stone you should buy now?”

Elise pursed her lips. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that he was really talented when it came to stone gambling. “Mr. Griffith, I believe that I was right about you. I’ll definitely pick up something by learning about stone gambling from you.”

The edges of his lips curled upward into a gentle smile. “You’re too modest, Miss Sare. I gained a lot by learning Arisian from you, too.”

There was no awkwardness when they traded compliments. In contrast, it was harmonious.

“So, do you plan to sell this blood jade, Mr. Griffith?”

“I would like to use it as a publicity stunt for the anniversary of Griffith Group next month. I think it will be a good selling point,” Alexander answered.

Understanding what he meant, Elise said, “You’re a very smart businessman, Mr. Griffith.”

In fact, Alexander had his own selfish idea! When he saw that the stone contained blood jade, he already had a thought in his mind, which was something he really wanted to get done for now. Despite that, he didn’t tell any of that to Elise.

After the entire stone was finished with the cutting, a huge piece of blood jade stood before everyone’s eyes. Almost everybody on the scene had never seen a blood jade before, and the color of this piece was very pure; it could be considered one of the top grades amongst blood jade. Many people who were interested came forward to ask about the price, but they were all turned down by Alexander.

A dedicated team was assigned to deliver the blood jade, and after the cutting was completed, Alexander and Elise didn’t hang around much longer. They said their goodbyes to Jordan and left immediately.

“I’ll send you back, Miss Sare.”

However, something popped up in Elise’s mind, and she turned down his offer. “It’s alright, Mr. Griffith. I’ll just get a cab back by myself.”

Alexander didn’t try to change her mind and said, “Be careful then, Miss Sare. I’m leaving first.”

After Elise saw that he had left the place, only then did she get herself a ride back.

……

Elise changed into her usual ugly appearance when she got back to campus, and the moment she stepped into the classroom, Danny hurriedly paced up to her. “Boss, where did you go? Do you know that I’ve been looking for you?” Before she could answer, he added impatiently, “Boss, explain this question to me.”

As she had expected, Danny’s biggest current interest was learning, and she didn’t turn him down either as she explained the problem to him.

After school, they left the classroom together. Although Danny had been engrossed in studies recently, he felt a little playful today and wanted to play online games. “Boss, let’s not go to the library today. I’ll get a few guys tonight to form a team and play a few rounds of games online.”

His words stopped Elise in her tracks. “If you play today, all your efforts before this will go down the drain.”

Dismay washed over him at her reminder. “Forget it, then! I love to study. Let’s forget about gaming and head to the library instead.”

A gentle smile spread across Elise’s face, thinking that Danny’s seriousness toward studies made him seem rather adorable, and she said, “How about this? If you can make it to the top five of the class in the monthly test, I’ll spend a day gaming with you.”

Unexpectedly, he started laughing out loud right after she said those words. “Boss, a good student like you, gaming with me? Don’t try to pull my score down with your inexperience. I’m not falling for that.” While Elise was speechless and looking helpless, he asked curiously, “Boss, do you really know how to game?”

Smacking her lips, she then answered, “I gamed before.”

This sparked his curiosity even further. “How are your skills?”

After a short moment of hesitation, she replied, “It’s alright.”

Patting her on the shoulder, he said, “With your mediocre skills, it’s better if you don’t play with us. My teammates and I are all experts who are famous players on the leaderboard. Besides ‘Ellimane’, who’s the number one on the platform, the other top five expert gamers are in my team. At least until now, I’ve always remained on the top three spots of the board. You’re just asking for a hard time if you choose to play with us.”

His words and tone of voice were more provocative than usual. Elise cast him a thoughtful look, saying calmly, “You don’t have to care about how well my skills are because you’ll only earn your right to play with me once you make it to the top five in the monthly test. Are you up for the challenge?”

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 127

No Answer

Thinking that Elise was only throwing this challenge at him because she wanted to encourage him to make it to the top five of the class, Danny agreed to it because he figured that she was just being kind. “Sure, but I’m not doing it because I want to play with you. I’m doing it because I want to prove myself,” he clarified proudly.

“Okay, I look forward to your performance. I’ll fulfill my end of the promise then as well.”

In fact, Danny didn’t take her promise seriously at all because he just wanted to do well in the monthly test to examine the results of his hard work during this period.

The minute both of them walked out of the school gate, they saw a familiar-looking Maybach outside. “What brought you here, Alex?” Danny asked in surprise.

In fact, Alexander didn’t know it himself what came over him. He should have returned to the office, but instead, he found himself here and even waited until classes were over.

“I happened to pass by here and thought that I could give both of you a lift home since school was ending.”

Danny had never been one to doubt anything Alexander said, so he quickly opened the door and let Elise in first. When both of them were seated, he said, “Alex, we’re not going home but to the library first. I still have some homework left to finish.”

Startled, Alexander asked, “Have you had a personality change lately?”

Danny chuckled sheepishly. “Stop teasing me, Alex. I’m just trying to catch up on my studies.”

“Okay. Do your best,” Alexander encouraged. “I look forward to your progress.”

“Thanks, Alex. I’ll put in my best effort,” he answered happily.

After that, Alexander started the car and drove away. Danny was the first to hop out of the car when they reached the library, and he thought that Alexander would leave. Unexpectedly, the door of the driver’s seat opened, and he got out of the car as well.

“I haven’t been to the library in a long while, so I’ll read a book as well.”

His explanation didn’t strike Danny as odd, and so the latter started working on his homework with full attention after he found himself a spot in the library. Meanwhile, Elise went to the second floor and went through the bookshelves. Finally, she picked a foreign novel and sat down.

Something unexplainable came over Alexander, and he followed Elise upstairs subconsciously. Then, he grabbed a book about economics and took a seat in a corner. However, his attention today wasn’t on the book at all; he would sometimes casually raise his gaze at Elise, who was seated nearby.

It was fine for the first couple of times, but Elise noticed his eyes on her after a few more times, and she couldn’t help but look back at him with her brows knitted tightly in confusion. When their eyes met, Alexander didn’t look away, and just when she was about to say something, he spoke first. “I’ve read the book in your hands before. It’s not bad, but the author ended the story a little hastily, leaving many things unexplained.”

Elise was already halfway through the book, and when she heard him say that, she lost all interest to continue reading. “I’ll get another book, then.”

Standing up, Alexander walked over. “I’ll help you to pick one out.”

To Elise, he seemed a little odd today, but she couldn’t exactly put it into words.

“Do you prefer comedy or tragedy?”

“Comedy.” She said the first thing that came into her mind.

Looking through the bookshelves, he then picked out a book which used a more humorous language and passed it to her. “This book is not bad. You’ll be entertained and happy while reading.”

Taking it over, she uttered, “Thanks.”

After she started reading a couple of pages, a grin spread across her face unintentionally. Seeing that, Alexander relaxed the knot between his brows as he casually plopped himself in a seat next to her, asking, “Do you usually come here with Danny to read?”

“Yeah, but it only started recently. I’m usually upstairs while he’s downstairs.”

For unknown reasons, he felt much better when he heard her reply. “This place is nice. I’ll drop by whenever I have the chance.”

On the other hand, Elise stopped replying and seemed focused on the book. For unknown reasons, he felt especially at peace seated next to her at this moment.

In contrast, Elise was unable to read another word. She didn’t know why, but she became nervous the second he sat next to her, and even her breathing quickened. Startled by her own reaction, she hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave. However, she was in such a hurry that she slipped and fell forward. Fortunately, Alexander had quick reflexes, and he caught her around the waist. Then, she heard his deep, husky voice next to her ear. “Are you alright?”

All of a sudden, she felt her heart galloping, and she pushed him away, saying, “I’m fine! Thanks for catching me.”

Disappointment washed over Alexander when he felt the emptiness in his hand, but this feeling vanished very quickly, leaving no trace of it on his expression. “You’re welcome. Be careful next time.”

“Okay,” she muttered and left in hurried steps. However, only she knew that she was running away in fear right now.

“What happened to you, Boss? Why is your face flushing?” Danny asked in concern upon seeing her coming downstairs.

Stunned, she felt her face. “Really? Maybe it’s because it’s a little stuffy here.”

Instantly, he instructed the librarian, “Open up all the windows for some fresh air.” While the librarian scurried away to carry out his instructions, he turned back to Elise and beckoned. “Boss, come over quickly and explain this question to me.”

Jolted back to her senses, Elise gradually calmed herself down before pacing toward him to explain the question to him. Her voice was steady, and her explanations were clear as Danny listened to her very attentively. Unbeknownst to them, Alexander was standing behind a bookshelf nearby. As he listened to her voice, something sprouted within him, and he seemed to have figured out something at the same time.

After that, he didn’t stay around any longer but left the library by himself and jumped into the car. In the car, he whisked out his phone and made a call. “Cameron, have the chief jewelry designer of the company meet me in my office tomorrow at 10.00AM sharp.”

“Yes, Young Master Alex.”

After hanging up, he put his phone away and narrowed his eyes as the answer in his heart slowly became clear to him. I may have fallen for Elise, but I’m not sure whether it’s just a moment’s infatuation or I love her for real.

His heart had no answer to that.

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 128

No More Jack Griffith

The next day at 10.00AM, Lily was waiting in the office of the Griffith Group’s president office punctually. Upon seeing Alexander, she greeted him politely, “Hello, President Griffith.”

Alexander plopped into the real leather couch and crossed his legs before saying casually, “Hi, Miss Lily. Actually, I asked you over today because I acquired a piece of blood jade recently, and I have a few ideas which I would like to share with you.”

Of course Lily knew how important this was, and she said, “Please tell me what you would like me to do, President Griffith.”

Alexander leaned in, and they both slipped into a deep discussion. About an hour later, she left his office and returned to the design department. The other designers gathered around her and asked, “Miss Lily, did President Griffith look for you because of a new project?”

“Yeah, share it with us quickly.”

Giving them a soft smile, she answered, “There’s no new project. Let’s finish the work at hand and don’t gather around me.”

Although nobody was convinced by her words, they had no one else to ask if she didn’t want to reveal anything to them. So, they returned to their work spaces. After everyone had left her alone, Lily opened the file in her hands and stared at the picture of the blood jade on the first page with wavering eyes. Did President Griffith fall for someone? With this blood jade as the raw material, he had asked her to design a complete jewelry set with a lover’s theme.

She didn’t dare to let her thoughts run wild and therefore made up her mind that she would finish this design with all her heart.

……

…

Early in the morning, Elise arrived at school, and a person came running toward her. Giving her a bear hug, Samantha said, “I missed you so much, Elise!”

Looking at Samantha, whom she hadn’t seen in a long while, Elise noticed that she had gotten tanned. “How’s it like, living on the set? You’re so tanned now.”

With a cheerful look, Samantha held her arm. “I’ve been very happy this month, and I realized how meaningful it is to do something which I enjoy.”

“Congratulations on finding your path in life,” Elise said happily.

With a chuckle, Samantha replied, “This is my first piece of work, and the director said that I’m very talented. Really, I’ve already made up my mind to be an actress, and the director has also introduced me to another movie so that I can attend the audition tomorrow. That’s why I took this chance to visit you and Riley at school today.” She lifted her head and looked into the classroom but didn’t see any sign of Riley. “Where’s Riley? Why isn’t she here yet?”

“Maybe she’ll arrive later,” Elise said.

“Okay,” she uttered and dragged Elise into a seat while they continued chatting. A few minutes later, Danny arrived and wanted Elise to explain another question to him, which made Samantha very unhappy.

“Danny, what are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m chatting with Elise?”

Without lifting his gaze at her, he said, “I’m just borrowing her for a while; I’ll return her in a bit.”

Although annoyed, Samantha decided to let it go, and when Elise returned after solving the problem, she grabbed her arm, asking, “Elise, it hasn’t been that long since I last saw Danny, but why has he changed so much? Wasn’t he always slacking in his studies? What came over him today?”

Elise giggled. “It’s true that he’s a changed person. He even told me confidently that he’ll make it to the top five for the coming monthly test!”

“He must have lost his mind!” Samantha gasped.

Right after the words left her lips, Danny was already standing behind her without her realizing. “Hey, it’s not nice to speak about others behind their backs.”

Although she was called out, she wasn’t embarrassed at all and said casually, “I didn’t say anything wrong. In the past, you were a loser and didn’t have the least motivation to improve yourself, but all of a sudden, you say that you would like to make it to the top five in class. What are you, if not crazy?”

While Danny decided to ignore her, she continued, “It’s impossible for you to make it to the top five in class.”

Expressionless, Danny turned to her, but all that came up in his mind were the scenes from before, when he was squabbling with Elise. Only then did it hit him how annoying he was back then.

“Samantha, don’t think that you can make it big in the entertainment industry just because you have a pretty face. There’s no lack of pretty girls in that industry, and there’s nothing special about your face at all. Even if you can find jobs as an actress, you’ll be a D-list actress at most,” he said without holding back, whereupon Samantha’s face fell.

“What nonsense are you speaking about, Danny Griffith? Who are you calling a D-list actress? I’ll definitely make it to the A-list to show you what I’m capable of! Just hold your jaw tight so that it doesn’t fall when it happens!”

Unbothered by her, Danny turned and left, leaving Samantha stomping her feet in anger. I must become an A-list actress and get so many awards that I’ll bury this annoying Danny with it! she vowed silently.

Nevertheless, both of them didn’t expect that this joke and jape would bind their destinies tightly together. But of course, this was a story for later.

Seeing how mad Samantha was, Elise quickly comforted, “Just do your best. I still think very highly of you.”

Elise’s words diminished Samantha’s anger greatly, and she said, “Elise, keep your eyes peeled. I won’t allow myself to become a D-list actress.”

Elise agreed. “Yes, so don’t be mad anymore, superstar.”

After Samantha calmed herself down, something else popped into her mind suddenly. “By the way, Elise, I almost forgot to share a piece of gossip with you: Jack is in trouble now…”

Hearing that Jack was in trouble, Elise felt her heart drop as she asked, “What happened to him?”

Then, Samantha told her everything she knew in detail. “I heard it’s because there’s a problem with his new song. Previously, he was really popular in the industry and received a lot of compliments when his new song was published online. It was even pushed to the top of the chart once, but someone found out that this new song of his had the same music style with another singer, H, who was very popular before this. Immediately after that, H’s fans accused him of plagiarizing, and the issue just blew up. There’s been no response from his management company, and the hashtag #CancelJackGriffith has more than three hundred million tweets online already.”

Her words sent Elise into a deep thought, and she could no longer listen to Samantha anymore.

At the same time, in Jack’s management company, Ronald was pacing around anxiously. “Jack, what’s up with your new song this time?”

Jack decided to keep his mum and didn’t say a thing. The original draft of this new song was discovered under the computer on his desk, and he was startled when he saw this song.

The first half of the song was composed by himself, and someone had made big changes to the second half, which greatly enhanced the originally boring song. When he showed this song to professional composers, they all said that the song was really high in quality, and that was why he decided to release this single. Who would have thought that this plagiarizing incident would blow up from it.

“Ronald, I didn’t write this song.”

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 129

I Didn’t Do It for You

Hearing this, Ronald immediately barked, “Jack, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? This is a serious matter!”

Jack also felt a little annoyed and replied, “I found this song under the computer desk. I wrote the first half.”

Ronald shouted, “A scheme—this is all part of a scheme! Jack, it must be someone’s evil plan! What they are trying to do is to involve you in this dispute. Damn, this person is truly vicious.”

Jack pursed his lips. During his many years in the entertainment industry, he had been minding his own business, and he had never offended anyone. Who would actually do such a thing to him?

“Let’s go and check the surveillance footage of my office’s door—I want to see just who placed this thing there.”

However, Ronald stopped him and said, “Oh, darling! Now is not the time to find out the truth, but to give the public an explanation. I will get someone from the public relations department to control the damage and to minimize the impact of this incident.” With that, Ronald took his phone to make a call. Seeing Ronald on his phone, Jack’s heart sank. No matter who framed him, he would go to the ends of the world to find the culprit.

However, at this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and Noel walked in.

“This song is not plagiarized.” He spoke at once. Immediately, Jack and Ronald looked at him at the same time. “Noel, what the hell is going on?”

Noel replied, “This piece was written by H.”

Both Jack and Ronald were obviously surprised, and Jack immediately uttered, “But the first half of this song was written by me.” The question was—how could H have possibly helped him improve the second half of his song?

When Noel heard Jack’s question, he couldn’t exactly connect the dots, but he could roughly guess why Elise would help Jack.

It just seemed that Jack didn’t know Elise’s true identity, so Noel didn’t want to be the one to tell him.

“Well, I’m afraid you’ll have to ask H herself for the answer to this question,” Noel said.

Ronald also added, “If that’s the case, then this matter is much easier to handle. Let H personally clarify the misunderstanding, then the accusation of plagiarism will be eliminated.”

Jack took a deep look at Noel. “I’m afraid this matter is not so simple.”

Noel smiled slightly. “It may not be that complicated after all—she probably just wanted to help you.”

Jack was still confused and didn’t understand the meaning of Noel’s words, but Noel continued, “Leave this matter to me. I will try to convince H and let her come forward to clarify this issue. However, you also need to do some damage control because H’s fans are very powerful—we should still think of a way to minimize the impact of this incident.”

Ronald nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry. I will handle this.”

Soon after that, Noel turned around and left. After Noel and Ronald had both left the office, Jack was the only person left. He looked out the window, thinking about what Noel had just said. Why did H compose a song for me? Are we related in any way? And the most important question is: How did H get the first half of my song?

It felt like he was in a labyrinth with no way out.

……

Elise didn’t expect that it would bring Jack such a big trouble from just modifying his tune at random, and there was only one way to solve this trouble—she had to come forward as H to clarify the misunderstanding. However…

She took out her mobile phone but was afraid to log in to H’s official account. After so many years, she had never logged in to this account. She was afraid of seeing the messages from her fans who were eagerly awaiting her return, and she was also afraid of remembering what happened to her before. In fact, she didn’t want to face the past that she wasn’t brave enough to look back on, let alone face those bits and pieces.

“Elise, school is over. Why haven’t you left yet?” Mikayla asked curiously.

As soon as Elise heard her, she quickly put away her mobile phone and got up. “I’m leaving now. Let’s go together.”

Mikayla gave her a nod, and after Elise had packed up, the two of them left the classroom together.

“Mikayla, did you know that Jack Griffith is currently facing a plagiarism scandal?” Elise couldn’t help but ask, but Mikayla answered curiously, “Elise, you’ve never mentioned Jack before. What’s wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly interested in his affairs?”

Elise explained, “I just happened to read about it on the hot search, so I asked.”

Listening to what Elise said, Mikayla didn’t doubt a thing. She knew about Jack’s plagiarism scandal, but she was very optimistic about it, and it didn’t seem to bother her much.

This was because she trusted Jack and believed that he would not commit plagiarism, and she believed the truth of this matter was bound to be uncovered some day.

“He’s not one to plagiarize.” Mikayla’s words were full of trust. Elise turned her head to look at her and asked, “Do you trust in him that much?”

Mikayla nodded without hesitation. “He is my prince charming, my idol. After I’ve chosen to be his fan, I’ll support him wholeheartedly, and the premise of supporting him is trust. His character is impeccable, so I have always believed in him.”

Mikayla’s words echoed in Elise’s ears, and at this moment, she suddenly envied Jack. At least he had someone who believed in him without reservation.

“You’re right. He really isn’t that kind of person.” After Elise finished speaking, she already had an idea in her heart. It was at this point that the two of them had arrived at the gate, and Mikayla waved at Elise. “Elise, I’ll take my leave first. See you tomorrow!”

Elise replied with a smile, “See you tomorrow!”

After parting, Elise took out her mobile phone. This time, she did not hesitate to log into her previous account. As soon as she entered, countless messages flooded in…

Elise didn’t plan to read those messages. Instead, she directly clicked into the edit box and tapped her fingers quickly on the screen.

“H, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Noel’s voice rang in her ears all of a sudden. Subconsciously, Elise raised her eyes, and then pressed the lock screen button. With that, her phone screen went dark.

“Is this about Jack Griffith?” Elise asked.

Noel looked at her and then said, “Right now, you’re the only person who can help Jack get out of this situation.”

Elise’s hand clenched on the phone silently while she said, “It’s my fault. I did this without thorough consideration—I will help him clarify matters.”

Noel was surprised that Elise agreed so readily. He thought that he would have to spend some effort this time.

“Thank you, H!” Noel said sincerely, but Elise told him bluntly, “I’m not doing this for you.”

Noel was obviously surprised that she said this, but he still covered it up very well. “I know.”

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 130

Long Time No See, H

“Whatever happened between us has nothing to do with Jack Griffith. I didn’t think carefully about my actions, which led to what happened today, so I’m cleaning up my own mess,” Elise went on to explain. Even though she knew that such an explanation was meaningless in front of Noel, she still didn’t want him to misunderstand.

Noel looked at her. “H, you’re still the same as before—you haven’t changed at all, and you’re always so considerate of others.”

Elise pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Instead, she took out her phone and turned on the screen. She looked at the words she had previously edited and finally clicked the post button.

“Okay. I’ve posted on Twitter.” After Elise finished speaking, she put away her phone. “I should go back. Bye.”

With that, Elise turned around and left. Noel looked at her back and opened his mouth to speak, but he then decided to swallow his words back. In the next second, he took his phone out and looked at H’s post on Twitter.

‘Hello, everyone. I am H. I’m here to clarify one thing today. It is about Mr. Jack’s new song. The song was actually co-created by me and Mr. Jack. I apologize for the inconvenience caused.’

Little did she know, her action caused a huge ripple on the Internet.

Firstly, when H’s fans discovered that H had logged into Twitter, thousands of fans flooded to her Twitter homepage and sent her private messages. After seeing her latest post on Twitter, the number of comments had reached 10,000 in under 1 minute, and it didn’t stop there. In just 15 minutes, the topic ‘H admitted she worked with Jack Griffith to write his new song’ went directly to the top of Twitter’s trending list!
