Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 810

After Adelpha sneered at Elise, she turned and smiled at Yorkson. "Maestro, ever since my sister got

pregnant, she had been blabbing a lot, so please don't take it to heart."

Hearing that, Yorkson nodded and passed his name card to her. "See you later, then."

"See you." She smiled as she received the name card.

Both of them nodded at each other. When Yorkson was about to leave, Elise immediately walked over

to the piano.

Just as Yorkson and the others left the room, the sound of the piano was heard, and the smooth notes

were like hooks that wrapped around Yorkson's legs. He paused his footsteps and remained standing

on the spot. As Elise played the piano, she deliberately revealed some minor flaws to make her

performance sound imperfect, but it didn't affect the overall piece. Playing it that way would be enough

to capture Yorkson's interest.

Adelpha turned around in astonishment and was completely dumbfounded when she saw how well

Elise could play the piano. Isn't Anastasia tone-deaf? When did she learn to play the piano?! How

could she improve so drastically in just half a year?

Not only Adelpha but Onyx and Lyra were surprised by it too. They had the same thoughts as Adelpha,

and they weren't glad at Anastasia's change. Onyx, on the other hand, suddenly seemed to notice his

elder daughter's talent. He thought that he might have underestimated her.

Just then, he remembered that his daughter carried the Joslin Family's genes. It was probably time for

him to assess which daughters he should be investing in. Even though they hadn't been on good terms

for the past ten years, blood was thicker than water since they were father and daughter. Their

relationship could be improved if he made some effort to talk to her.

When Adelpha saw that Elise had gotten better at playing the piano, she was anxious and walked over

to the piano before pulling Elise up from the seat. "You amateur! Stop showing off!"

There was a sudden silence after Elise stopped playing. As soon as Elise stood still, she pushed

Adelpha's hand away and rubbed her hand as if she was disgusted by Adelpha's touch.

"Huh!" Adelpha's blood started boiling upon seeing that. "You despise me? Don't you even dare to

compete with me! Dream on!" Just as Adelpha spoke, the door opened and Yorkson and his men

appeared before them.

He walked over to Elise with a straight face and asked earnestly, "Were you the one who played the

piece?"

"Maestro Yorkson, it wasn't her. I was the one who—"

Adelpha was trying to stop Elise from speaking, but Yorkson didn't even give her the chance to finish

what she was going to say and interrupted her. "Shut up! I hate liars the most! People like you are

unworthy of learning to play the piano!"

Upon hearing what he said, Adelpha was startled and froze on the spot.

After rolling his eyes at Adelpha, Yorkson looked at Elise with a smile and asked, "Miss, would you like

to come over to Alzue and learn some new piano skills with fellow pianists?"

"Are you taking me in as your protege?" Elise asked with a smile.

"Of course not," Yorkson explained to her patiently, "I'm not confident that I'm qualified enough to be

your teacher, but I hope that we could be friends. In the next few years, many renowned piano

maestros will be visiting my place. Would you like to join us and study the piano together?"

Unlike his offer to Adelpha, he invited Elise over as a guest instead of going over there as a student.

"Why?" Adelpha, who just made sense of the situation, was strongly against it. "You just extended your

invitation to me, and now you're saying the same words to another person? Is the invitation from

Maestro Yorkson that worthless?!" She was trying to force Yorkson to choose between one of them.

Hearing that had put him in a bad mood. His expression turned grim as he turned over and glared at

Adelpha. "Hand it over."

"Hand what over?" She seemed confused.

"My name card," he answered coldly. "Thank you for reminding me that my name card is indeed

expensive, so I shouldn't be wasting it on worthless people."

"You—" Adelpha stomped her feet as she was lost for words.

"Miss, it's just a name card. I'm sure that you wouldn't be that petty." He spoke sarcastically as the

thought of her deceiving him irritated him.

"Who did you say was petty?!" She had fallen for it and threw his name card at him. "Here you go! Isn't

it just a normal name card? It's not like it's plated in gold, so why would I want to keep it?"

"That's good to know." After Yorkson got his name card back, he rubbed it before handing it over to

Elise with both hands. "Madam, I really hope that we can be friends. If you agree to it, I will be paying

for all the traveling expenses during your trip to Alzue."

"It'd be disrespectful of me to reject you." She gladly accepted his offer. She then took the name card

and shook his hand politely.

With that, she would be able to deliver her child overseas using Anastasia's identity while getting rid of

Adelpha. It was the safest option for her.

Upon haaring what ha said, Adalpha was startlad and froza on tha spot.

Aftar rolling his ayas at Adalpha, Yorkson lookad at Elisa with a smila and askad, "Miss, would you lika

to coma ovar to Alzua and laarn soma naw piano skills with fallow pianists?"

"Ara you taking ma in as your protaga?" Elisa askad with a smila.

"Of coursa not," Yorkson axplainad to har patiantly, "I'm not confidant that I'm qualifiad anough to ba

your taachar, but I hopa that wa could ba friands. In tha naxt faw yaars, many ranownad piano

maastros will ba visiting my placa. Would you lika to join us and study tha piano togathar?"

Unlika his offar to Adalpha, ha invitad Elisa ovar as a guast instaad of going ovar thara as a studant.

"Why?" Adalpha, who just mada sansa of tha situation, was strongly against it. "You just axtandad your

invitation to ma, and now you'ra saying tha sama words to anothar parson? Is tha invitation from

Maastro Yorkson that worthlass?!" Sha was trying to forca Yorkson to choosa batwaan ona of tham.

Haaring that had put him in a bad mood. His axprassion turnad grim as ha turnad ovar and glarad at

Adalpha. "Hand it ovar."

"Hand what ovar?" Sha saamad confusad.

"My nama card," ha answarad coldly. "Thank you for raminding ma that my nama card is indaad

axpansiva, so I shouldn't ba wasting it on worthlass paopla."

"You—" Adalpha stompad har faat as sha was lost for words.

"Miss, it's just a nama card. I'm sura that you wouldn't ba that patty." Ha spoka sarcastically as tha

thought of har dacaiving him irritatad him.

"Who did you say was patty?!" Sha had fallan for it and thraw his nama card at him. "Hara you go! Isn't

it just a normal nama card? It's not lika it's platad in gold, so why would I want to kaap it?"

"That's good to know." Aftar Yorkson got his nama card back, ha rubbad it bafora handing it ovar to

Elisa with both hands. "Madam, I raally hopa that wa can ba friands. If you agraa to it, I will ba paying

for all tha travaling axpansas during your trip to Alzua."

"It'd ba disraspactful of ma to rajact you." Sha gladly accaptad his offar. Sha than took tha nama card

and shook his hand politaly.

With that, sha would ba abla to dalivar har child ovarsaas using Anastasia's idantity whila gatting rid of

Adalpha. It was tha safast option for har.

"Ah!" Adelpha went mad when she saw them shaking hands. "That's ridiculous! Why would a maestro

give a tone-deaf such good treatment? It's unbelievable!"

"Shut up!" Onyx couldn't afford to let her ruin such a great opportunity. "If your skills aren't as good as

others, you should be humble and learn from others. I will disown you if I hear you say another word!"

"I… Hmph!" Adelpha bit her lip helplessly and didn't dare to speak a word. Her hatred toward Elise

deepened when she saw how glad the latter looked.

Onyx had never scolded her in such a way, and on top of that, he embarrassed her in front of everyone

just because of Anastasia. To her, all of these issues happened because of Elise, that b*tch. Adelpha

had the perception that Elise had been secretly practicing for a long time to get to where she was today

just to steal her limelight. She admitted that she had underestimated Elise!

Meanwhile, Yorkson was worried that Elise would go back on her words, so he invited her over for

dinner. "Ms. White, let's discuss it as we walk. I'll buy you dinner tonight."

Soon after, the group left the room followed by the White Family, and Adelpha was standing at the end

of the group. When they walked over to the elevator, they saw a notice saying that it was under

maintenance, so they had no choice but to take the stairs. The dispirited Adelpha suddenly grinned

when she recalled her plan.

As she located where Elise was among the crowd, an intention to kill flashed across her eyes. She was

determined to not go easy on Anastasia since she was the one who asked for it. To execute her plan,

she walked over quietly and stood behind Elise.

Soon, they reached the stairs and Adelpha grabbed the chance to push Elise from the back with all her

might. However, Elise suddenly took a step to the side and managed to dodge it. Due to the inertia, it

forced Adelpha's body to go forward as she instantly rolled down the stairs.

By the time everyone else realized what had happened, Adelpha was sprawled on the landing between

the second and third floor, her head on the ground and her body overturned. Her skirt had been lifted,

and it revealed her underwear. Elise took in the sight calmly since Adelpha had asked for it. What goes

around comes around, Adelpha.

Seeing that, a few of Yorkson's men looked away politely. When Onyx rushed to the front, he was so

embarrassed and furious at the sight that his face was red.
