Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 32

The Centurion Card of the Griffith Family was limitless.

Grandpa is actually giving it to Elise? This is outrageous! She just got first place in some lousy mathematics competition. Does she deserve this?

However, Jonah ignored him and waved to Elise. “Come here, Ellie.”

She froze for a moment, but she walked over obediently. “Hi Grandpa.”

“Take this, Ellie!” He then placed the card into her hands. “This is my present for you. I‘m too old to know what young people like nowadays so if you need anything, you can buy it yourself now.”

Looking at the Centurion Card, Elise knew very well how important this was.

“Grandpa, I can‘t accept this. It‘s too much for me.”

“Silly girl! Nothing is too much. I only know that my girl deserves the best.”

“But Grandpa…

“That‘s enough, Ellie. You should be happy that you got first place. I already made arrangements to hold a celebration party for you and everyone will gather to celebrate your success. Apart from that, you can also invite your friends here so that they can also celebrate with you.”

Danny‘s eyes widened upon seeing how his grandfather was treating Elise. He wanted to say something, but he could not win against Jonah‘s enthusiasm. In the end, he just pouted as he vented all his grievances in the group chat.

‘I can‘t take this anymore! Grandpa actually gave that country bumpkin a Centurion Card GTO‘

Jack, who was on a film set shooting a movie, sent a series of voice messages into the chat.

“You were defeated this time around. Does it hurt your pride?”

Danny then replied, “I‘m miserable, but I‘m not going to cry over this.”

At that, Jack laughed out loud. “Ha! In the future, you have to address Elise as your boss, yet you still call her country bumpkin now. You need to change your habits soon.”

Matthew also chimed in, “Grandpa wants to organize a celebration party for her and he invited many established people from different industries. It‘s quite a grand party.”

“See, this is the treatment you get if you are his biological grandchild” Jack replied. “It seems like us brothers are adopted by him instead. I wouldn‘t even be that hurt if there wasn‘t any comparison. By the way, I have some shows to shoot that day, so I‘ll go back later. Do send my regards to Grandpa”

Matthew then murmured, “Alright, what about you? Do you have time to come back?”

Then, he tagged Alexander.

However, Jack said, “Don‘t message him now. He has been troubled for the past few days. I bet he doesn‘t have time to even look at his phone. I‘ll tell him myself tomorrow.”

Then, Matthew replied, “Sure.”

In fact, Alexander had already seen the messages and he knew that Elise had gotten first place at the

st that he was not in a good mood for the past few days and he did

Mathematics Olympiad. It not even congratulate her.

“Young Master Alex, we have already investigated the matter. However, we have no clue why we can‘t find any traces at all. Apart from that, all the data from the surveillance camera that day had disappeared. Obviously, someone has done something to it so that we can‘t find out about it.”

Cameron reported the results of their investigation to Alexander honestly, but the latter merely looked out of the French windows without uttering a word.

“We also looked into Jamie‘s side, but he is keeping quiet. Apart from that, we told him before that we couldn‘t have any further connections, so we can‘t find anything that is useful from his side.”

with the investigation?”

At that, Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly. Right now, he could only think of everything that happened on the day of the car race. If that accident never happened, he might be able to confirm her identity to see if she was Sue, the one whom he had been looking for.

All the clues are gone now…

“What about the investigation on the brakes?” he asked.

Cameron‘s eyes darkened at the mention of that matter. “We have already investigated this. Someone did something to your brakes, but that person seemed to have disappeared from the world without a single trace. I already asked people to find out more about him in his hometown and I bet we will get some results soon.”

“Alright. After you find him, don‘t alert him. Find out the mastermind first. Apart from that, let‘s take a break from Sue’s matters.”

Since she doesn‘t want me to find out about her, why do I persist? If we are made for each other, we will definitely meet again.

“Yes, Young Master Alex. I understand.”

With that, Cameron walked out of his office respectfully, leaving Alexander alone in the large office. The latter looked at the bright night lights outside but a part of his heart felt lonely. After some time, he retracted his gaze and took his car keys before walking out of the room. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After dinner, Elise stayed in her room to do her homework as usual. Halfway through the process, she suddenly received a call from Cynthia,

“What are you doing, Elise?”

“Homework.”

On the other end, Cynthia thought she misheard. “Since when do you need to do homework?”

“Aunt Cynthia.”

“Alright, my good girl, I‘m at MISS bar. Are you free to accompany me for a drink?”

Elise looked at the time and immediately closed her textbook. “Okay, I‘ll be right there.”

After hanging up, she tidied herself up. Only after making sure that she looked as ugly as usual did she walk out of the door with a handbag.

She went to the bar by taxi. In the bar, bright lights were flickering around as they reflected off the green alcohol bottles. Amidst the loud music, Elise looked around before she found a drunk Cynthia in the corner.

“Aunt Cynthia!”

Upon hearing that, Cynthia opened her eyes groggily. As soon as she saw that it was Elise, she immediately hugged her shoulders. “On–you are finally here, Elise! Come drink a few glasses with me!”

“Aunt Cynthia, you are already so drunk. You shouldn‘t drink anymore. Come on, let me send you home.”

However, Cynthia got away from her immediately. “I don‘t want to! I don‘t want to go back! I want to continue drinking. I want to continue.”

With that, she took a bottle of beer and started drinking again. Seeing that she could not stop her, Elise gave up. She understood Cynthia well. Cynthia was a wise and decisive person, and Elise could feel that she was not in a good mood tonight.

Hence, Elise sat down and took the bottle in front of her to drink with Cynthia, “Cheers, Aunt Cynthia!”

Cynthia chuckled in response. “Here‘s to my good Elise. Cheers!”

Both of them drank one glass after another. After drinking, Elise felt a bit uncomfortable, but Cynthia looked as though she was perfectly fine. With a glass of beer in her hand, she dragged Elise to the dance floor.

Cynthia danced like no one was watching, and Elise also took the rare opportunity to let loose. Since no one knew her here, she danced along with Cynthia.

Both the aunt and niece matched each other well, and they elicited screams and whistles from the people around them. They attracted the attention of almost 80% of the men there. Without a doubt, all of them were surely smittened by Cynthia. As for Elise, none wanted to get close to her after looking at her face.

“Sweetie, can I buy you a drink?” one of the men asked Cynthia. In the past, she would usually shoo him away but today, she smiled.
