Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 1005

"Are you serious about this, Boss?" Raymond was delighted.

"When have I ever joked about something like this?" As Alexander spoke, he leaned against the couch, acting nonchalant.

When Elise heard his words, she laughed and asked, "Are you going to make the best out of a mistake?"

"You know me well, wifey," Alexander admitted without hesitation. "To be honest, the relationship between Smith Co. and the Hellens is already on the brink of ice. Now that we've caused such a scene, Stenson wouldn't forgive us even if we were to apologize. If that's the case, why not just go for it?"

"You are so smart, Boss. We have to let them know that we can't be easily messed with!" As Raymond spoke, his body was trembling with excitement.

In the meantime, the Hellen Family held a meeting. A group of people sat in the dim room as they pressured Stenson.

"Don't act like a fool! They've already singled you out and asked you to return the person!"

"I have already told you not to mess with them. Why won't you listen? Now that they have ruined our place, who will be responsible for the huge loss?"

"Just do your best and don't try to bite off more than you can chew. If you can't handle this, you should have just let someone else take over!"

Each of the Hellen Family's members blamed Stenson for causing them trouble.

The more Stenson heard them nag, he couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his fists against the table. "Are you guys done? If anyone has anything to say, just step up!" He barked.

After he finished his words, the room fell into silence. After all, blaming Stenson in a group was different from calling him out individually. They knew he was a cruel man, so none of them wanted to stand out.

Stenson looked at them and said, "This is a rare opportunity for you guys. If you decide not to say anything now, you'd better not in the future. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!"

The crowd lowered their heads and kept quiet. However, they were unhappy with his words.

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. "You can't say such a thing. We let you become the leader because we trusted you and believed you would bring wealth to the family. However, you did not earn any profit and even lost a huge amount of money. Isn't it normal for us to be upset and want an explanation?"

The spokesperson was Matthias, Stenson's cousin. Although he was five years younger than Stenson, he was as cruel as him. Matthias had always been ambitious and wanted to take over the throne, so he would always cause trouble for Stenson. Now that Stenson had brought trouble to the family, he would take this opportunity to seize him.

When Stenson heard his words, he looked at Matthias coldly and said, "Upset? I don't think anyone is upset except for you. You want an explanation, right? I'll give it to you. The casino has lost seven hundred million, and I will pay for it. Are you guys happy now?" Although no one uttered a word, their expressions softened. As the saying went, one had to play both ends against the middle. They weren't dumb and knew what was happening clearly; as long as they weren't the ones in the spotlight, they would not suffer any losses. "Seven hundred million? I don't think so. After all, those antiques from Cittadel are priceless." Matthias insisted on the matter.

When Stenson heard his words, he was furious. He gritted his teeth and slammed his hands against the table. "I'll get those antiques back. If I can't, I'll kill myself! There! Are you happy now?!"

"Why are you being so emotional, Stenson? I'm just saying it as it is. It's fine as long as you know how important those things are. If you can't get it back, just apologize to us. We'll understand. After all, we can't possibly kill you, can we?" Matthias mocked him. "Alright now, let's go. I think Stenson needs some alone time." With that, everyone left in a hurry.

In an instant, the crowded room was empty.

When everyone was gone, Stenson swiped everything on the table off the ground and scratched his face. "Who is the person that Alexander wants?"

"Boss! Don't scratch yourself! Your face is already ruined!"

"Get out!"

One of his men courteously reminded him, but Stenson flipped him off.

At this moment, another one of his men rushed into the room and said hastily, "We got him, Boss! Those two at the street race are on Alexander's side!" "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! I had a feeling they probably knew each other since they're all Cittadelians. After I looked into it, I realized I was right!"

"You did good!" Stenson patted his subordinate's shoulder in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and propped himself as he put his hands on the table. "First, I couldn't get the sponsorship because of them. Now, they ruined my place and stole seven hundred million! I will make Alexander pay for these!"

...

On the other hand, Jamie and Narissa were severely injured, so they asked Elise to help them rent a house near Griffith Manor. After all, they didn't want to let their families worry about them.

Although Elise had asked the servants to prepare two rooms, one was unused since the couple slept together.

Since Narissa was severely injured, Elise had been making broth for her to recover.

"I have made some chicken broth for you. Drink up." After Elise had handed the broth to Narissa, she poked her bandage. "That's strange. Why aren't your wounds healing when I have been making food for you? Some of your wounds are still bleeding. Is it infected? I'l have to call Zephyr and take a look."

"It's fine, El. I'm... I'm fine," Narissa said slowly, exchanging glances with Jamie while she smiled.

When Elise saw their interactions, she squinted and saw that Narissa had hickeys on her neck. Since they were all adults, she knew where Narissa had gotten it from. At that moment, she became speechless and thought, Narissa's wounds won't be getting any better if they keep fondling each other under the same roof.

As she thought about it, she said sternly, "I'm warning you, Jamie. You'd better not harass Narissa before she recovers. Stay in your room at night and stop coming over!"

Hearing her words, Jamie nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry. I won't come again tonight." Then, he exchanged glances with Narissa.

He promised Elise not to come over at night, but he didn't say anything about meeting her during the daytime. Since Jamie and Narissa were the only two people in this house, it wouldn't matter if they did it during the day or at night. After all, as soon as men felt the rush of ecstasy, they would be like rabbits in heat.

However, Elise's words shattered his dream. "No. For precautions, it'll be better if you guys live separately." Before the duo could refuse, she immediately shouted at the door and instructed, "Raymond! Rent the house next to this and let Jamie stay there for the time being!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away!" Raymond was a man of action. Immediately, he took his phone out and contacted the landlord.

"You're cruel, Boss!" Jamie said exasperatedly.

"Damn it!" Elise rolled her eyes. "Do you know how to cherish a woman? Are you willing to see Narissa's wounds not healing? As a man, you have to control yourself."

"Alright. I'll do this for the sake of Narissa..." Since he couldn't decide on this matter, he could only agree to Elise's words.
