Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 862

However, Jessamine had underestimated the tacit understanding Elise and Alexander shared.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that," Elise flat-out rejected. "Although I'm not sure why Alexander would

do such a thing, I'm sure that even if I agree to your suggestion and not meet him for two months, he

still wouldn't change his decision. Since that's the case, why should we have a meaningless

agreement?"

"After everything we've talked about, you still won't agree to help the three of us, right?" The smile on

Jessamine's face froze.

"You're not listening. This is not about whether or not I decide to help you. I'm also a mother, so if I can

help your children in any way, I would, but the problem is that I can't. Without me, Alexander would still

have a new woman he likes. Once a man changes his mind, he will not look back."

Although her words had a trance of slander in them, Elise could not tell the truth either. Thus, her only

choice was to twist her words and try to lead Jessamine to realize the situation.

"It's fine if you don't agree. I don't need your fake advice. I've heard many things about you. You can

even kick your father out of his home just to get the property. You're not a good one either."

While Jessamine looked at Elise with a disdained gaze, she continued, "I've already expected that you

wouldn't help me. I invited you here to see for myself what advantage you have to be able to seduce

Alexander, but it seems like there's nothing special about you. You're just good at pretending to be a

damsel in distress, waiting to be rescued by a man. I, Jessamine Sullivan, look down on people like

you the most!"

Elise was rendered speechless by her words. She did not expect that the gentle and quiet-looking

Jessamine would have such a sharp tongue. Still, she wanted to express that even if they could not

close their deal, there was no need to go against each other.

At first, Elise felt a little guilty toward Jessamine for what she said, but after receiving a scolding from

her, Elise did not feel that way anymore.

Squeezing a smile on her lips, Elise took out a stack of cash and threw it on the table. "It seems like we

can't get along well. Today's coffee is on me. Bye."

After putting her purse back, she pushed her chair away from the table and turned to leave the cafe.

Just as she had taken a step forward, she heard a thump from something heavy falling to the ground

behind her.

She turned around and saw Jessamine kneeling on the ground, acting pitifully.

"What are you doing?"

"Slap— Slap— Slap—"

Before Elise realized what was happening, Jessamine had gone mad and given herself three hard

slaps.

Just as Elise was about to stop her, people from the surrounding tables all gathered around and circled

the two women. Then, they suddenly took out their cameras and began to record the scene from every

angle.

It was then that Elise finally understood they were all paparazzis who had been hiding around the area.

"Miss Jessamine, Miss White, did you guys start a fight just now?"

"Miss Jessamine, why are you kneeling on the ground?"

"I just saw Miss Jessamine slapping herself. Why did she do that? Can you please elaborate?"

The paparazzi were asking all kinds of questions and had their microphones aimed at Jessamine's

face.

If Alexander was the most talked-about man in the city, then the two women who were recently

involved with him, Jessamine and Anastasia, would be the most talked-about women in the city. If they

could secure such big news, they would stand a chance of being promoted and getting a raise.

This was not a big deal for Elise, though. Not only was she not flustered, she even crossed her arms

and put on an inquisitive expression as if she was watching a show. In fact, she was silently waiting to

see how the situation would unfold.

"Slap!"

Seeing that the time was right, Jessamine ruthlessly slapped herself again. This round, she even

slapped harder than she did before.

"Miss White, I know that you're a very excellent person and I've never wanted to compete with you, but

please spare me and my children!"

Once she said that, the paparazzi all cast strange glances at Elise and made her the target of their

attacks.

"Miss White, did you humiliate Miss Jessamine just now because of your relationship problems?" one

of the braver paparazzi piped up.

Then, the others all followed his lead.

"Miss White, you also have two children, but you're now competing for his attention with Miss

Jessamine. Don't you feel bad for doing that?"

"I heard that Mr. Griffith was previously in a relationship with your sister. Can you tell us how it feels to

be pursued by the person who used to be your future brother-in-law?"

Finding their questions hilarious, Elise retorted, "I think that's my private matters. Do I have to explain

them to you?"

Her attitude was so arrogant and it was clear that she was not taking them seriously.

After exchanging glances, the paparazzi all decided to deal with Elise together.

"As a single mother, you should know the difficulties of raising children on your own, but here you are,

trying to destroy the happy life of another single mother. Do you even have a conscience?"

"Miss White, aren't you afraid that your children will see how you're bullying Miss Jessamine, who is a

mother to two children?"

"Miss Jessamine and Mr. Griffith are currently still engaged. Aren't you afraid of public criticism for

openly interfering with someone else's relationships?"

After all, these were all paparazzis and their ability to humiliate others was far more amateur than those

keyboard warriors on the internet. Therefore, their words did not even bother Elise.

"Please don't blame Miss White. I'm the one who's useless because I can't keep the man I love. I was

the one who's standing between their relationship. At first, I should have left, but the two children were

looking forward to finally having a father, so I didn't want to disappoint them…" Jessamine spoke as

she cried, painting a pitiful sight.

The group of immoral paparazzis felt a sudden rage arising inside them and they were even more

hostile toward Elise.

After they had a discussion, they found the perfect angle to set up their cameras for a live stream.

Once the cameraman was in position, he leaned over the monitor and looked into it. However, what he

saw was just a black screen.

Assuming that he had forgotten to remove the protective cover from his lens, he raised his head, only

to see that Alexander had appeared in the cafe at some point and was standing right in front of him.

There was no expression on his face and he was covering the camera lens with his hand while exuding

a strong aura that deterred others; even his gaze alone looked terrifying.

The cameraman instinctively took a step backward. At the same time, Alexander grabbed the camera

and smashed it onto the floor, breaking it into pieces.

"Ah!"

One of the female reporters shouted while the others were at a loss for what to do. They were all frozen

in their spots while holding their precious equipment.

Then, Alexander calmly clapped his hand as his dark and gloomy eyes landed on Jessamine.

Knowing that she had done something wrong, Jessamine avoided his gaze, quietly got up, and stood to

the side.

At that moment, dozens of bodyguards swarmed into the cafe and surrounded the open-air balcony. It

was so packed that even a fly was not allowed to leave.

Terrified, the paparazzis gathered in a corner. "Mr. Griffith, what are you doing? We have the freedom

to report the news…"
