Bring Your A Game

Chapter 837

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 837-Jamie was standing by the table in the operating room with his injured right leg on a chair. The nurse had to cut open his pants to facilitate the treatment. Once the wound was completely exposed, she couldn’t help but gasp in horror. The state of the injury was a mess of gore and blood.

In the end, it took 14 stitches for the wound to be fully sealed up.

When Danny walked in, Jamie was sitting on the bed, wiping away his sweat.

Jamie glanced at Danny, unabashed, and casually asked, “How is it over there?”

“He’s not out yet. But it shouldn’t be a big deal.” Then, Danny took out a pack of cigarettes from his pockets, pulled two out, and handed one to Jamie.

Jamie stretched out two fingers to take it before Danny lit it for the two of them. Then, the two sat side by side and smoked.

Danny looked at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling and exhaled a puff of smoke. “Don’t you think we’re in the same boat?”

Jamie smiled bitterly and puffed out a mouthful of smoke without refuting Danny’s words.

Danny raised his hand, put the cigarette to his mouth, and took a deep drag. Then, he mumbled to himself with a confused look on his face. “I have no idea how my brother managed to woo my sister-in- law back then. Why is it so difficult to love someone?”

“Hey, you two. Yeah, you!” A nurse poked her head through the door and said, “Don’t you know that smoking isn’t allowed in the hospital? Put it out!”

This made the two men smile at each other before obediently throwing the cigarettes away into the trash can.

Once Jamie was dressed, he stood up and placed his hand on Danny’s shoulder. “I have a favor to ask.”

“As the acting CEO of Dragonweiss, what favor can I do for you?” Danny was in disbelief. After he thought it over for a moment, he asked thoughtfully, “Is it about Narissa again? Do you still not want to reveal yourself?”

Jamie nodded. “You know me so well!”

“Stop it right there.” Danny took a step back. “I’m not like you. I’ve confessed and been rejected. In my opinion, you should just tell her that you’re interested in her. When will you make a move if you keep sneaking around like this?”

“She has already agreed to Jayden’s proposal. Anything I say now would just make things worse. So I might as well just shut up. Saving them from this group of thugs will be my wedding gift to him,” Jamie said.

This surprised Danny as he wrapped his arm around Jamie, patting his shoulders reassuringly. “It’s fine. People like us aren’t meant for the big stage. So as long as they’re happy, we’d have no regrets.”

…

When Jayden woke up the next day, he was somewhat dazed. It was also a pity that the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Danny, standing at the end of the bed.

“Why are you here?” Jayden asked with a wary look in his eyes.

“I brought you to the hospital.” Then, Danny jumped straight into the topic. “Also, the feud between you and those people has been settled by SK Group and Smith Co. They won’t trouble you anymore if you don’t step on each other’s tails.

“Why did they help me?” Jayden was still vigilant.

“There’s no reason behind it. If you really need one, then it’s because I appreciate an honest reporter. Just like me, we both hope the world will be a better place,” Danny said formally.

Nonetheless, Jayden didn’t want to play around as he remarked acidly, “I’m afraid we’re very different, Mr. Griffith. I’m afraid I will not be able to live in the law’s loopholes.”

Danny expected this would be how Jayden would react and shrugged indifferently. “Then, I have nothing left to say.”

After Danny had said his piece, he turned around and walked toward the door.

“Hold up.” Jayden stopped Danny. “I won’t look into Smith Co. and SK Group anymore. I’m no longer in debt with you anymore.”

Danny sneered at Jayden. This was the first time he met someone so arrogant when they were the ones in debt.

Still, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with such a self-righteous man. After he stayed back for a moment, he walked out of the room without looking back.

When Narissa returned, she happened to see Danny walking into the elevator.

So, when she entered Jayden’s ward, she casually asked, “What did Danny say to you just now?”

“Nothing.” Jayden didn’t seem to be in the mood. “I just didn’t expect someone like him would save me.”

“Someone like him? What do you mean someone like him?” She immediately placed down the things in her hands and turned to look at him solemnly. “No one is all good or all bad in this world.”

“I agree, but this doesn’t include the Griffith brothers.” Regardless, Jayden still refused that they would be part of the exceptions. “The Griffiths had only gone bankrupt for seven years, and now they’ve reached a scale beyond the reach of mere mortals. Who knows what disgraceful methods they used in between to achieve this?”

“Is it a sin to make money?” She was bewildered. “Although I don’t like Alexander, I know that there aren’t any businessmen that aren’t cunning. If they are, they’re probably bankrupt businessmen. But this does not mean they’re evil. At least, according to what we have investigated so far, the Griffiths make good money and pay their taxes legally, right?”

“What’s the matter with you, Narissa? How can you speak for the Griffiths?” Jayden frowned suspiciously.

“I don’t know.”

Narissa was very confused. She had been somewhat frustrated since Jamie left yesterday. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Nevertheless, she knew she shouldn’t be lashing out when she was in the wrong. So, she took a deep breath and finally confessed, “Okay, I’ll just be honest with you. The Griffiths and I have known each other for a long time. There were several times when I’d disclosed things in advance. That’s why you can’t find anything. The mole that you’re talking about is me. So now that you know the truth, the villain you’re looking for is also me.”

“Stop joking around, Narissa. You’re not like them at all.” Danny refused to believe her.

“I’m not joking,” she said solemnly. “The only reason you don’t believe it is because you’ve never known the real me. Although you don’t like Smith Co. or SK Group, they saved our lives last night.”

At this moment, he fell silent for a while before finally finding his voice again. “What are you trying to say here?”

“I’m saying that maybe we don’t know each other enough. We’re not ready for marriage. So let’s just take a step back.”

…

At the Blitzy Entertainment Building, Elise had just gotten out of the car as she led the three children inside.

This time, she was here as a guest. She was invited to participate in a reality show called ‘Cultures Without Borders’.

She initially did not want to be in the limelight until she saw a familiar name on the program list, Ekaterina Miiyagi.

Not only that, her name was followed by a brief introduction that called her the successor of Takyo’s Embroidery.

Only after Elise went to check she discovered that Abby Melor, The Embroidery of Cittadel’s only hope, lost to Ekaterina before she disappeared. This allowed Ekaterina to bring this craft back into Tayko and claim it as their own.

However, what angered them the most was that Blitzy Entertainment, as one of the top broadcasting stations in Cittadel, didn’t correct the public’s assumption but instead promoted that embroidery had

been a culture of Takyo for thousands of years.

Back in the day, when the people of Takyo invaded Cittadel, they tried to take the country. Now, their people are trying to steal Cittadel’s culture. So, how could the people of Cittadel sit idly by?

Elise wanted to see how much Ekaterina had grown in the past seven years!
