Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 832

Chapter 832 Must You Really Fight Me?

Alexander turned, saw Alexia’s infatuated smile, and he could not help but smile sweetly. On theother hand, Irvin pulled a face as if someone owed him millions. Alexander could not even let outanother smile when he saw his son. He knew he indeed owed his son something.

Elise led the children over to greet Jessamine. “Hello, Mr. Griffith, Miss Jessamine.” “What acoincidence, Anastasia. We meet again.” Jessamine immediately stood beside Alexander, trying toshow off her identity as Mrs. Griffith, when she saw Anastasia walking over. The way she spoke wasas if she was facing an enemy. “Alexander accompanies me to bring my children to school everyday. I don't recall seeing you around.”

"Miss White has just returned from abroad, and her children are raised abroad. How could you havepossibly met her?” Alexander took the initiative to reply to Jessamine.

Jessamine's complexion changed subtly when Alexander answered the question on Anastasia’sbehalf. Still, she quickly calmed down and agreed, “Indeed, this international primary school is goodfor the kids’ learning development. You should send your kids here if you're financially capable.”“Well, it seems that I have made the right choice by choosing this school.” Elise smiled lightly.

At that moment, Alexander's cell phone rang. He answered the call and walked aside. “Excuse mefor a bit.”

After he walked away, Jessamine took the opportunity to invite Elise to talk, “Miss White, let's talksomewhere quiet?”

Elise thought about Jessamine’s proposal for a while and agreed to it. “Irvin, bring your two youngersisters somewhere else to play.”

After the two sent their children away, they found a stone bench nearby and sat side by side.

It was only after a while that Jessamine started narrating her own story.

“A year ago, I was still a single mother. In addition to taking care of my two children, I also had toworry about preventing my ex-husband, who was abusive, from harassing me. I only met Alexanderlater. He is a gentleman and solved my ex-husband-issue for me. Since then, I can finally sleeppeacefully at night.”

Alexander is the only good thing in my life, and I can't live without him. Miss White, you justreturned from overseas and have your own career. I can already predict that many people willpursue you in the future. How about letting Alexander go so my children and I can continue beingwith him?”

They were both intelligent people, so Elise need not pretend to be confused about what Jessaminesaid. Hence, she spoke forthrightly, “Miss Jessamine, you think too highly of me. I cannot possiblydetermine the happiness of you and your children. Given how Mr. Griffith likes to be fickle in hisaffection, I believe there would be other women if it were not for me. Besides, you can count on Mr.Griffith's character that he would not allow anyone to bully you there, even if you two break up. So,Miss Jessamine, don't scare yourself.”

Jessamine knew that asking Elise to give up on Alexander was futile, so she questioned Eliseexpressionlessly, “Must you really fight me on this matter?”

Elise was not intimidated by Jessamine's ghastly gaze. Instead, she smiled profoundly. “Have youforgotten how you became Alexander's fiancée? I believe it was also through fighting the previouswoman. So if you and Mr. Griffith are really a match made in heaven, no one else would be able totake over your place. What do you think?”

Elise finally understood why Alexander was reluctant to marry Jessamine when she saw howJessamine's resentful expression.

People always said, “touch pitch and be defiled’, and it was especially true in this case. Elise knewthat Jessamine was more difficult to deal with than the other women Alexander used as a confusiontactic to cover up the truth. Obviously, Jessamine had forgotten that no love was involved betweenher and Alexander—the only thing that governed the so-called relationship was merely a contract.The two faced each other in silence but were at loggerheads.

At this time, the person in charge of the school’s admissions office approached them.

"Miss Jessamine, Miss White, I'm really sorry. I have some bad news for you both. There are only twoplaces left in the elite class you applied for, and since you both have two children, the remainingplaces are obviously not enough to accommodate all four of them. So I'm afraid one of yourchildren might need to join the regular class.”

“First come, first serve,” Jessamine replied forcefully. Her children were already studying at thekindergarten that was part of this international primary school's ecosystem. So, it was onlyreasonable that her children could learn here. While it was her b*stard ex-husband’ fault that herchildren’s education was delayed, now that the issue was solved, her children should be able tocontinue studying here.

The person in charge frowned and looked like he was placed in a difficult position. AlthoughJessamine was Alexander's fiancée, Anastasia’s children’s quotas were given by Smith Co. Besides,Alexander and Anastasia were seen flirting at the concert a few days ago. Although Smith Co. toldhim not to let anyone know, it was challenging for him to tell whether Jessamine or Anastasia wasmore important to Alexander.

"What's the matter?” Alexander walked over and asked the person in charge, who then repeated thematter. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking the person in charge, “Howabout if I donate 10 million to the school under my own name? Can the school add two more placesto the elite class?”

“I must say, your offer is very tempting. But I'm sorry, Mr. Griffth, the elite class is the signature ofthis school. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, we must strictly control the number ofstudents. I'm really sorry, but I must reject your offer as we cannot set this precedent.” The person incharge was absolutely embarrassed when he talked, but he gave another compromise solution. “Thechildren can take the entrance test, and we'll assign them to classes according to their strengths.This is fair and just. What do you think?”

"Of course!” Jessamine agreed confidently. She may not be as good as Anastasia at playing thepiano, but she knew how to educate her children, and she was definitely not inferior to any mother.Most importantly, her children’s grades had always been outstanding, so there was nothing to worryabout. Her children would win back the face that she had lost before.

Elise hesitated for a while, worried whether Irvin's test results might be too ostentatious.

“There will be three tests: language, Math, and English. They shouldn't be too difficult,” the personin charge said.

Only then did Elise dispel her concerns. “Alright then, let's do it.”

He invited all of them to a classroom. The four children sat side by side in the middle of theclassroom, whereas the person in charge was invigilating in front. Alexander and the others waitedat the back of the classroom.

The test paper was divided into three subjects—French, Math, and English, and the test time foreach subject was 45 minutes.

After about two hours, all four children handed in their answers. Thirty minutes later, the person incharge completed the marking.

After summing up the score, he stood up and bowed slightly at Elise. “I'm sorry, Miss White, butaccording to the test results, your two children are not up to the standard in French and Mathexcept for English. So, they can only join the regular class.”

He then turned and smiled at Jessamine. “Miss Jessamine, congratulations. Your two children have agood foundation and can join the elite class.”

Jessamine raised her eyebrows proudly while condescendingly saying to Elise, “Thanks for theopportunity, Miss White.”

“It's nothing. Your children deserved it.” But, frankly, Elise did not take this matter so seriously.“Miss Jessamine, shall we take the kids for registration?” The person in charge tried flatteringJessamine because her children were more brilliant and would definitely please Alexander more inthe future. So, he naturally wanted to curry favor with her.

“Please lead the way," said Jessamine while holding Alexander's hand. “Let's go.”
