Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 770

The man's sly eyes rolled around and without saying a word, he raised his fist and threw himself at

Jamie. "Mind your own business!"

As a result, he was kicked down by Jamie.

By the time Narissa arrived, the man was already under Jamie's foot.

"You are too slow." Jamie proudly crossed his arms across his chest.

She didn't bother replying, and only walked over and squatted beside the man before she took out a

knife and waved it for the man to see. The cold glint of the blade made the man's heart tremble

frightfully.

"I hate troublesome things the most. I will give you two choices—one, tell me who told you to do this;

two, this knife will make 36 holes in your body. You have 10 seconds to make a choice. 10, 9, 6—”

"Where did 8 and 7 go?!" the man cried as he shivered in fear.

At that point, Jamie bent down and slapped him on the forehead. "We like counting like this. You got a

problem with that?!"

"N-No…" The man did not dare to go against them.

Narissa then continued counting," 5, 3, 2, 0!"

The moment the words fell, she grabbed the handle of the knife and raised it before aiming it at the

man's shoulder without hesitation.

"I will tell you!" The man finally confessed. "It is that woman's sister! It is Anastasia White's younger

sister!"

Narissa's knife stopped about half an inch from the man's shoulder.

Letting out a snort, she continued to threaten him in a loud voice, "How do I know you are not lying?

How could a younger sister deliberately try to sabotage her older sister's career? I think you are lying.

Let me poke you a few times to blow off steam, yes?"

"Don't, please don't. Ma'am, I really am not lying. It really was the people of the White Family who paid

me to do it, I swear it! I have a 70-year-old mother and six children to take care of. I am the sole

breadwinner at home. Please be merciful!" the man wailed as he tried to win their sympathy.

"Enough!" Jamie interrupted him with a slap. "Do you think those are piglets your wife gave birth to? Six

children! Can you at least tell a smarter lie?"

The man immediately shrank as he muttered, "I made it sound more miserable so that you will

sympathize with me..."

"That is enough." Narissa stood up and put the knife back into her pocket. "Now that we know the truth,

let's take him to Miss White and let her handle it."

Soon, the two took the man and they met 'Anastasia' again.

After explaining where the man came from, Narissa kindly suggested lodging a police report, but her

idea was rejected by 'Anastasia'.

"Regardless, this involves my family. I don't want to make it big. I will have a talk with my sister when I

go home before I decide what to do next. Thank you for your help today."

Just exposing some irrelevant scandal wasn't going to harm Elise at all. Of course, she was going to

take her revenge, but now was not the right time to do that.

Even if Adelpha was exposed for such a trivial matter, she wouldn't suffer much loss at all.

Elise wanted to let the man go so that Adelpha would think that Anastasia wouldn't fight back even if

she knew that Adelpha was trying to cause her downfall behind her back.

That way, Adelpha would only get more aggressive in her antics. Elise wanted to wait for the time when

Adelpha did something unforgivable lawfully and socially to get rid of her once and for all.

Hearing that, Jamie and Narissa could only let 'Anastasia' do as she planned while they let go of the

man they had painstakingly caught. After all, it was a family affair, and it wasn't their place to intervene

in something like this.

Narissa was fuming as she watched the back of the man leaving arrogantly. She then made a promise

to 'Anastasia'. "Just tell me if there is anything I can help you with in the future."

It was rare for Narissa to admire someone so much, only for her to find out that the person had such an

inhumane family. In any case, she would make sure that no harm befell her idol!

"I will take you up on your offer, then." Elise accepted with a smile. She then took Narissa's arm and

walked out. "Aren't we supposed to have a meal together? Which restaurant are we going to?"

Narissa stopped breathing for two whole seconds and her heart began to beat wildly.

Help! I am being intimate with my idol! she yelled internally.

I need an ambulance!

Nervously gulping, she finally stammered, "A-Anywhere is fine."

Elise was walking toward the entrance of the White Residence around evening when she heard from

afar Onyx going off about her.

"—Look. Just look at what is written on the news. What a shameless piece of work this is. What is the

point of writing that kind of stupid story? I have lived an honest and upright life all this time. How could

such a daughter be born out of my DNA?!"

"Calm down, Poppa. Anastasia must have only wanted to earn some pocket money to support the

family..." Adelpha pretended to persuade her father.

Elise walked in proudly then. As her eyes met Adelpha's, the younger of the two silently lowered her

eyes and looked away.

The man had given Adelpha a call after he left the mall. Even so, Adelpha was still a little worried that

'Anastasia' would come back and cause a commotion here.

'Anastasia' might not be afraid that Onyx would side with Adelpha, but now that the piano graded exam

was near, she didn't want to make trouble at a time like this.

Fortunately, as expected, 'Anastasia' only gave her a brief look before she made a beeline for the stairs

without any intention of mentioning what happened earlier.

"Stop right there!"

Adelpha's heart that had just calmed down immediately started thumping hard again at Onyx's rage.

Suppressing his anger, Onyx pointed at Elise and ordered, "Call the publishing house right now and tell

them you want to cancel the contract. You are not allowed to participate in those kind of bullsh*t

pseudoliterary events in the future!"

"And what if I say no?" Elise unwaveringly asked in return.

"No? I will talk to them in person then. I am quite curious who would dare support you without my

consent, as I am the head of the family."

Onyx was willing to do anything at that point.

After all, he was a member of the Authors' Guild. If it was known that his daughter was writing

unpopular online articles and was revealing such a big scandal, he would be too ashamed to stay in the

association any longer.

"I am a married woman. You and I are not in the same household registration book. Do you think they

will bother with you and let go of a money-making opportunity?" Elise replied impassively.

"A-Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Unable to win against her in a verbal argument, Onyx

could only resort to threatening her morally. "I will make myself clear now—if you insist on producing

more of those cheap works, your life from now on will have nothing to do with the Whites!"

"Sounds great." Elise didn't fall for it at all. Instead, she was surprisingly calm as she rebuked,

"Besides, why do you say that my articles are not up to standard? Are you saying that they will be

considered popular if I follow your footsteps and write mediocre poems to please middle-aged men?

You haven't even read my work, right? What gives you the right to judge my work then? And why

should I listen to you?"

"This is outrageous!" His face was flushed as his blood pressure shot up. Pressing one hand on his

chest, he pointed upstairs with another as he scolded, "Go back to your room and do some self-

reflection. Don't come out as long as you don't see what you did wrong!"

Not wanting to continue having her words fall on deaf ears, Elise didn't reply and only made her way

upstairs.

As soon as her silhouette disappeared on top of the stairway, Adelpha scurried to her father again to

tattle.

"Poppa, I think Anastasia is pregnant!"

Elise, who was upstairs, immediately came to a stop when she overheard those words. She quickly hid

behind the wall as her ears perked up to listen to the conversation downstairs.
