Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 931 Are You Mocking Me?

Ariel's neck.

Rylantha's palms hit the railing so hard that it shook, but Ariel's footsteps did not even falter for a moment. Instead, she quickened her pace and soon disappeared from Rylantha's sight. Rylantha gritted her teeth angrily and clenched the railing tightly as if she was choking Meanwhile, her servant saw the opportunity to pander to Rylantha and stepped forward. "Miss Abbott, you're the one and only successor of the Abbott Family. Don't lower yourself to the level of that ignorant b*tch."

Smack. She harshly slapped her servant the moment she heard the servant's words. "What am I then if she's a b*tch? We are both my father's daughters. It's not your place to point fingers at our family affairs!" "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" The humbled servant repeatedly bowed while covering his sore cheek. "Get lost!"

"Yes. Yes." After she dismissed the servant, she looked in the direction where Ariel had left once again. Even her squinted eyes could not hide the overflowing anger sparking within them.

She had always known that Ariel was not a simple woman, and their meeting today only convinced her further that her speculation about Ariel's character was right on the money. She had to do something about this. She had to take charge of this situation and consolidate her power. Otherwise, it would not be long before Ariel replaced her as heiress of the Abbott Family.

No one could steal the Abbott Family and her father from her! No one!

...

Meanwhile, in the Cuber Residence, Jamie finally got the approval to leave the house because Princess would be right there by his side. He was sincere in wanting to cure Princess so that he could leave this sad place as soon as possible. Nevertheless, he could no longer stand the sight of Narissa and Gale being together.

However, as soon as Jamie finished packing, he saw Narissa at the door.

"What are you doing?" she asked suspiciously.

He explained his intention patiently to her, and she thought it over for a while before grabbing the leash from him and walking Princess out. Then, she turned toward him when she noticed that he was not following her. So, she urged, "Don't you want to treat Princess? Come with me!"

"A-Are you coming along?" Jamie could not believe that Narissa wanted to tag along.

"Can't I?" she asked domineeringly.

"Of course, you can!" He quickly nodded his head and happily trotted toward her.

He completely forgot that he was still wearing heels. As a result, he sprained his foot and fell forward with a large bag on his back. Luckily, Narissa had keen eyes and quick reflexes, and she hurriedly stepped forward to lend him a helping hand.

Jamie did not fall to the ground. Instead, his upper body fell directly onto her. The moment he felt the softness of her chest, he took a deep breath and quickly released her in his panic. But it was too late-his face had turned as red as a tomato.

His weird reaction made Narissa wary. She sized him up and raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "We're all women, Julia. Why are you so shy?"

"I'm not! It's just that you have such a good figure, unlike me." Jamie's throat was hoarse when he replied, as he could feel his body acting up against his wishes. However, he still tried to lighten the situation by making a joke. He always had the impression that her chest was flat. But clearly, he was oh-so-wrong.

She glanced down at herself and was a little unhappy. "Are you mocking me?"

"No, no. I didn't mean it that way." Jamie wanted to explain himself, but it seemed that it would only get worse from there.

"Forget it. Stop wasting my time. Come along now." She was impatient and did not want to dwell on this matter.

"Yes, of course."

She chose a cool sidecar motorcycle from the garage and left with Jamie and Princess in tow.

It was a Blue Bay Shepherds gathering. Princess could not hold its excitement any longer and jumped from the motorcycle and dashed toward other dogs before Narissa even parked the bike.

Narissa was filled with relief when she saw Princess' lively demeanor. "I haven't seen her so happy for a long time."

"Dogs and people are the same. They get grumpy if they don't get fresh air." Jamie made a comment out of personal feelings. "Although the Cuber Residence is huge, she is the only Blue Bay Shepherd there. So, naturally, she will feel lonely. So, it is still necessary to bring her out to see the world once in a while."

Narissa merely smiled and did not comment.

Jamie saw the lingering fatigue in her eyes and summoned up the courage to ask, "Do you want to get married?"

"Well, you should do the right thing when you reach the right age. My parents have supported me all this time, and I can't keep them waiting." She was expressionless when she said that, as if she had given up struggling.

Jamie got inexplicably angry with the reply. "There are many ways to show filial respect for your parents and marrying yourself to someone you don't love is not one of them. Mr. and Mrs. Cuber are just worried that no one will care for you when you grow old. But who would dare to look down on you if you're capable enough?

Narissa did not get heated up by Jamie's slightly explosive response. Instead, she let out a gentle smile and shook her head. "You're wise despite being only a nanny."

He realized that he had overstepped the boundaries. So, he quickly adjusted his tone and said calmly, "I just think that you're a good person, and I don't want to see you feel sorry for yourself. The Cubers have such a big family business and counting on the future son-in- law to manage it seems like a risky move. There are too many uncertainties behind that decision. You're talented and intelligent. It's better that you take care of your family business personally."

He had to admit that he could never feel at ease with Gale, even though she felt otherwise.

"Thank you. I'll give your advice some consideration." Then, she patted him on the shoulder before dusting off the grass on her pants and running toward the dog. "Princess, mommy is coming!"

Judging from her actions, it was apparent that she did not take his words to heart. Hence, Jamie had no choice but to swallow the bitterness in his heart and silently accompany her.

She was the only one who could decide her fate. He could not intervene, nor was he qualified to do so.

Gale arrived at the Cuber Residence as usual and looked for Narissa. But he was told that she went out with a nanny. What nanny was more important than meeting her fiancé? He finally learned that she went out with the dog's nanny after asking a servant. "Is it Mrs. Lanny?" Gale knew the Cuber Family inside out.

"No, it's a new young servant called Julia," the servant answered truthfully.

"Julia?" Gale, who was suspicious by nature, sensed something was fishy and immediately ordered, "Take me to her room."

The servant led Gale to Jamie's room. The layout inside was straightforward. There was nothing off at first glance; he only saw a bed, table, and a small wardrobe.

"Wait outside."

Gale dismissed the servant and began searching every corner of the room. The table and bed were quite empty, and only a few clothes were in the wardrobe.

But Gale was someone attentive to details. After a while, he found some odd things under the mattress, such as wigs, climbing ropes, nightwear, and electronic equipment. These were the items reported by his men previously. His eyes gleamed with ruthlessness as he held the wig in his grasp.

It seemed he underestimated Jamie, who had been lurking under his nose for so long. Don't blame me for being cruel, Jamie.
