Chapter 861 She Won’t Die

Jamie complained while walking toward the working area. The moment he turned around, his spirit and

drive dissipated, leaving only eternal darkness in his eyes.

Half an hour later, everything was ready in preparation, and all of Elise’s family and friends had

gathered backstage to cheer for her. At that moment, the Griffiths’ driver suddenly barged in.

“Mr. Griffith.” The driver bowed respectfully. “Miss Jessamine was involved in a car accident. Do you

want to head over and take a look at the situation?”

When everyone heard the news, they looked at each other while having their own thoughts. All the

drivers of the Griffith Family were the best of the best. Why would they choose today out of all days to

get into an accident? It was obvious that they were helping Jessamine steal Alexander from

‘Anastasia’.

Up until now, Jessamine was still Alexander’s fiancé, so it would not look good if he did not visit her in

the hospital. However, today was Anastasia’s first book-launching event after returning from abroad. It

would not look good either if Alexander did not show up.

Right when everyone was feeling nervous for Alexander, he looked at the driver expressionlessly and

asked, “Is it serious?”

Dumbfounded, the driver replied, “Miss Jessamine only suffered minor injuries, but the doctors suspect

she’s at risk of having a concussion.”

“That means she won’t die.” Alexander maintained his blank expression and showed no signs of

moving. “You may leave now. I’ll head over once I’m done here.”

Even Jamie was shocked by that. After Elise’s disappearance, Alexander had countless women, but he

had never neglected the old for the new. It seemed like he had indeed fallen for Anastasia.

However, Alexander disregarded everyone’s reaction and gentlemanly reached out his hand to invite

Elise. “It’s about time we head on stage. I’ll escort you over there.”

Raising her eyebrow, Elise placed her hand in his and let him lead her out of the lounge while everyone

else was watching.

After making sure no one had followed them out, she complained quietly, “You’re making me look like a

troublemaking vixen.”

She was being unreasonable.

Then, Alexander boldly placed his left hand around her slim waist and took the opportunity to take

advantage of her. “Aren’t you my little vixen?”

Immediately shying away, Elise warned, “Be careful! What if someone sees us? Don’t forget that you

still have a fiancé!”

After receiving a scolding, his face instantly fell. “Jessamine did it to herself. Smith Co. has thousands

of employees and there would be hundreds—if not tens of them—getting into accidents every day.

Have you ever seen the boss of a company accompanying his employee while she’s in the hospital?

No matter what, the only relationship we have is between an employer and employee, but she wants to

cross the line.”

Turning her head to look at his serious expression, Elise thought that he was even more reasonable

than seven years ago, rendering him more attractive.

Perhaps to the outsiders, his method was too ruthless, but to Elise, she agreed with his decision. He

should not give others false hope for something that would never happen.

She hoped that Jessamine would come to her senses after today’s incident and have a clearer

understanding of her position.

No matter what, she was willing to continue this act with Alexander to keep their family safe. She would

not personally deal with Jessamine unless she had to.

At the Griffith Residence.

After sending Elise home, Alexander went back straight to his home. He did not even call to ask about

Jessamine’s condition.

The moment he entered the door, he was stopped by Jessamine’s children, who had been waiting for

him.

“Mr. Griffith, Mommy is not doing so well. Can you please head upstairs to see her?”

“Mr. Griffith, please. Mommy doesn’t feel good. She’ll feel better after you comfort her!”

He was a father, after all, and he would not take his rage out on Jessamine’s children because of her

actions. In the end, he still came to her bedroom.

“Mr. Griffith, you’re back.” Jessamine was sitting up while leaning against the headboard. She looked

pale and spoke weakly, “I’m sorry for today. I didn’t intend to let the driver bother you, but he went

against my wishes and went to find you. Did he affect your schedule?”

“Where I go is not for a driver like him to decide, so how could he have affected my schedule?” His

words were void of any warmth. “Since you said he made that decision on his own, he won’t need to

come to work tomorrow.

Though Jessamine wanted to put in a good word for the driver, she stopped after seeing his stern

expression.

Seems like I’d have to compensate the driver with my own savings.

“I’ve decided to hold a birthday party for the kids the day after tomorrow,” Alexander suddenly

mentioned out of nowhere.

“Why?” Jessamine could not accept that.

“I’m sure you know why. The longer we wait, the more reluctant you’d become. It’s better to just get the

pain over with, rather than prolong the agony,” he stated.

“But the day after tomorrow is not their birthday. You’ll hurt their feelings if you do that.” She tried to

reason with him.

“If you’re against this, I can call off the arrangements, but I will still send you all away and cancel my

engagement with you. You pick.” A cold light flashed across his eyes as a strong aura enveloped his

body, which gave Jessamine an oppressive feeling.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise. “I’ll listen to you. We’ll have a birthday party.”

“Very good.”

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

The moment the door closed, Jessamine clutched the bed sheets tightly.

Why can’t he let me stay safely by his side for another two months?

Why does he have to make me into the laughingstock of the entire city?

Anastasia White, you’ve gone too far!

The following day, Elise received Jessamine’s invitation to meet at an outdoor cafe.

When she arrived, Jessamine had already ordered everything.

“Miss White, please have a seat.” She politely got up and welcomed Elise.

“Thank you.” Elise then sat down in a poised manner opposite her.

Jessamine acted like a hostess and asked, “I’ve ordered a cup of Americano for you. You can change

the order if you don’t like it.”

Maintaining her smile, Elise went straight to the point. “Miss Jessamine, I believe the reason you called

me here today is not to discuss coffee, right? We’re all intelligent people, so you can stop beating

around the bush.”

“Since you put it that way, I’ll jump straight to the point.” Jessamine composed herself and acted calm.

“Miss White, we are both mothers, so I hope that for the sake of the children, you can wait another two

months before accepting Alexander. That way, my children can have a happy birthday.”

“I seem to recall that I’ve never asked Alexander to immediately announce our relationship to the

public. Miss Jessamine, may I know why you’re saying this?” Elise was clueless about Alexander’s

plans.

“Yes, I know you’re being very kind, but you should be kind to us all the way. Because of you,

Alexander is planning to kick us away, which means that my children will have to face the

disappointment of not celebrating with Alexander on their birthday, which they have been looking

forward to for a long time. So, I hope you, Miss White, can ignore Alexander for a few months and let

my children experience a happy childhood.

Being a mother as well, Jessamine was sure that using children as an excuse would soften Anastasia’s

heart.
