-Elise was surprised. Narissa was always the one who suffered in
silence in the past, but after seven years, she could now sternly reprimand the others.
Indeed, everyone had changed a lot in the last few years.
But then again, the most important thing now was to settle the dispute at hand.
Noticing that the short-haired boy appeared to be in pain, she said, “His arm is more important, and he
appears to be in a lot of pain. Let’s get him to the hospital first.”
“No!” The lady refused to budge. “None of you can leave today unless I get an acceptable explanation!”
“Do you not have a heart? Your son is all pale and you don’t even feel sorry for him? Also, when did we
say we are leaving? Do you think we are all as mean as you?” Narissa truly despised this type of
person.
“I dare you to say it again! How could you act as if reason is on your side when your side is the one
who is wrong…”
As the lady yelled, she moved closer to Narissa. A fight seemed to be imminent.
At this instant, the hostess of the banquet finally arrived.
“Mrs. Lawrence!” Jessamine walked straight to the well-dressed lady and smiled politely at her. “What
happened? Why are you so angry?”
“It’s all because of these uncouth people!” The villain was usually the first to complain, and the lady
drew her son in closer, pretending to be pitiful. “Look what they did to my son!”
“How could you lie through your teeth…” Narissa couldn’t stand her any longer and wanted to reason it
out with her.
“Narissa.” Elise shook her head at Narissa and eye-signaled her to not act rashly.
Seeing that, Narissa had no choice but to remain silent.
Jessamine, on the other hand, had learned about what had happened while rushing here. The entire
incident was simply children playing around, which somehow went a little too far, but it was not a big
deal.
She swept her gaze across the crowd. When she saw Elise, she subconsciously fixed her gaze on her
for a few more seconds before silently looking away.
This woman is special, she thought.
Then, Jessamine quickly returned her attention to the current dispute. As the host, she could not
appear to be favoring any side.
But she knew it was the lady who was being unreasonable. Hence, she drew the lady to the side and
said, “I heard that Mr. Lawrence is fighting for the jewelry distributorship in Cittadel, Mrs. Lawrence. Do
you want me to tell Alexander about him?”
The lady’s eyes brightened instantly when she heard that. “Are you willing to lend a hand? If you are,
we will be more than grateful.”
Elise was surprised. Narissa was always the one who suffered in silence in the past, but after seven
years, she could now sternly reprimand the others.
“Not a problem at all,” Jessamine replied. She didn’t forget to ask for what she wanted as well. “Today
is a very special day to me. I’m wondering if you could show me some respect…”
Her hint was so obvious that the lady picked it up right away. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Griffith. I know what to
do.”
Jessamine smiled brightly at that. “I’m not Mrs. Griffith yet.”
“Well, that is already certain.” The lady began to fawn over Jessamine. Establishing a good relationship
with Alexander’s wife would undoubtedly bring many advantages in the future.
They then exchanged a tacit smile before turning back to face Elise and the others.
“For Miss Jessamine’s sake, I’ll stop pursuing what happened today.” The lady smiled as she led her
son away after her words.
“Everyone, let’s enjoy the party today.” Jessamine played her part as the hostess and dismissed the
surrounding guests.
When everyone had dispersed, Jessamine turned to face Elise. “Hello, miss. And you are?”
“Anastasia White.” Elise politely nodded. “Thank you for helping us. Miss Jessamine.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Jessamine pursed her lips and looked surprisingly at the three children beside Elise.
“Are the three of them your children?”
“The two older ones are,” Elise smilingly replied.
“A son and a daughter?” Jessamine was struck by the coincidence. “I have a son and a daughter too.
Could you leave me your name card, Miss White? Perhaps we can keep in touch in the future.”
Jessamine wasn’t the one who invited Elise, so she must have been invited by Alexander. Such a
special woman was most likely Jessamine’s competitor, and she wanted to seize the opportunity to get
to know Elise better.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve only recently returned to the country. I have yet to get a name card done or create a
social platform. Perhaps next time,” Elise declined politely.
Jessamine was Alexander’s contracted wife, and Elise did not think it was necessary for her to
maintain contact with Jessamine.
“What are you chatting about?” Alexander approached them unexpectedly and stood beside
Jessamine. Then he pretended to sweep his gaze across the crowd before naturally settling on Elise.
“Miss White, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Your kids are adorable.”
Alexia, who was standing there, was staring lovingly at Alexander’s face. What a beautiful face!
Jessamine’s expression froze when she heard Alexander’s words. As she guessed, he knew who this
woman was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that she had children since he just walked over.
“Do you both know each other?” Jessamine put on a calm front and asked.
To that, Elise took the initiative to explain, “Mr. Griffith has previously dated my sister.”
“I see. Look at how fate has brought us together. Your sister must be as beautiful as you,” Jessamine
fawningly said.
“I’m flattered,” Elise responded humbly.
Despite being polite to each other, they both felt an unfathomable hostility from the other.
“It’s getting late now. I need to rest after the exhausting journey. Congratulations on your engagement,
Mr. Griffith and Miss Jessamine. Please excuse me for leaving first.”
Women had an incredible sixth sense. Elise was concerned that she might give the game away if she
continued to stay with Jessamine and hence, she made up an excuse to leave.
“I want to stay with the good-looking uncle…”
Alexia stared firmly at Alexander and refused to leave. Left with no choice, Elise carried her and forcibly
took her away.
Narissa, on the other hand, held onto Lexi and Irvin with both hands, smiling happily.
“They are adorable! Their limbs are as small as Barbie dolls’. I don’t care what you say, Elise. I must be
their godmother! Nobody can take that from me!”
“Jamie has previously said that he wants to be their Godfather. Why don’t you both just date each
other?” Elise replied casually.
“Fat chance! He is not lucky enough to have me!” Narissa continued to do things her way and said, “It’s
decided now; I am their godmother, then. Who cares about Jamie anyway?”
Narissa had only gone away for a short while earlier and Jamie went missing. No one knew where he
went.
…
Jessamine and Alexander returned to the villa late at night after sending all the guests off.
After putting the children to bed, Jessamine made a cup of Jessamine tea for Alexander, who was
working overtime as usual, and brought it to the study room.
As she placed the cup on the table, she said, “Young Master Jace got into some trouble at the party
today. I promised Mrs. Lawrence that you will meet President Lawrence alone at a later time.”
“All right,” Alexander replied indifferently. Then, he abruptly changed the topic of the conversation. “We
should end our contract earlier. You can tell me whatever your conditions are now.”
Jessamine was still feeling glad about Alexander’s approval of her approach in handling the dispute at
the party just seconds ago. The moment she heard his words, her smile vanished.
“Why?” she asked, perplexed. “Did I make a mistake?”
