-Alexander turned, saw Alexia’s infatuated smile, and he could not
help but smile sweetly.
On the other hand, Irvin pulled a face as if someone owed him millions. Alexander could not even let
out another 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 a coincidence, Anastasia. We meet again.” Jessamine immediately stood beside Alexander,
trying to show off her identity as Mrs. Griffith, when she saw Anastasia walking over. The way she
spoke was as if she was facing an enemy. “Alexander accompanies me to bring my children to school
every day. I don’t recall seeing you around.”
“Miss White has just returned from abroad, and her children are raised abroad. How could you have
possibly met her?” Alexander took the initiative to reply to Jessamine.
Jessamine’s complexion changed subtly when Alexander answered the question on Anastasia’s behalf.
Still, she quickly calmed down and agreed, “Indeed, this international primary school is good for 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 me for
a bit.”
After he walked away, Jessamine took the opportunity to invite Elise to talk, “Miss White, let’s talk
somewhere quiet?”
Elise thought about Jessamine’s proposal for a while and agreed to it. “Irvin, bring your two younger
sisters 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 to worry
about preventing my ex-husband, who was abusive, from harassing me. I only met Alexander later. He
is a gentleman and solved my ex-husband-issue for me. Since then, I can finally sleep peacefully at
night.”
Alexander is the only good thing in my life, and I can’t live without him. Miss White, you just returned
from overseas and have your own career. I can already predict that many people will pursue you in the
future. How about letting Alexander go so my children and I can continue being with him?”
They were both intelligent people, so Elise need not pretend to be confused about what Jessamine
said. Hence, she spoke forthrightly, “Miss Jessamine, you think too highly of me. I cannot possibly
determine the happiness of you and your children. Given how Mr. Griffith likes to be fickle in his
affection, 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.”
Alexander turned, saw Alexia’s infatuated smile, and he could not help but smile sweetly.
Jessamine knew that asking Elise to give up on Alexander was futile, so she questioned Elise
expressionlessly, “Must you really fight me on this matter?”
Elise was not intimidated by Jessamine’s ghastly gaze. Instead, she smiled profoundly. “Have you
forgotten how you became Alexander’s fiancée? I believe it was also through fighting the previous
woman. So if you and Mr. Griffith are really a match made in heaven, no one else would be able to take
over your place. What do you think?”
Elise finally understood why Alexander was reluctant to marry Jessamine when she saw how
Jessamine’s resentful expression.
People always said, ‘touch pitch and be defiled’, and it was especially true in this case. Elise knew that
Jessamine was more difficult to deal with than the other women Alexander used as a confusion tactic
to cover up the truth. Obviously, Jessamine had forgotten that no love was involved between her 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 two
places left in the elite class you applied for, and since you both have two children, the remaining places
are obviously not enough to accommodate all four of them. So I’m afraid one of your children might
need to join the regular class.”
“First come, first serve,” Jessamine replied forcefully. Her children were already studying at the
kindergarten that was part of this international primary school’s ecosystem. So, it was only reasonable
that her children could learn here. While it was her b*stard ex-husband’s fault that her children’s
education was delayed, now that the issue was solved, her children should be able to continue
studying here.
The person in charge frowned and looked like he was placed in a difficult position. Although Jessamine
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. told him not to let
anyone know, it was challenging for him to tell whether Jessamine or Anastasia was more important to
Alexander.
“What’s the matter?” Alexander walked over and asked the person in charge, who then repeated the
matter. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking the person in charge, “How about
if I donate 10 million to the school under my own name? Can the school add two more places to the
elite class?”
“I must say, your offer is very tempting. But I’m sorry, Mr. Griffth, the elite class is the signature of this
school. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, we must strictly control the number of students. I’m
really sorry, but I must reject your offer as we cannot set this precedent.” The person in charge was
absolutely embarrassed when he talked, but he gave another compromise solution. “The children 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 the piano,
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 worry about.
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 person in
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 the classroom,
whereas the person in charge was invigilating in front. Alexander and the others waited at the back of
the classroom.
The test paper was divided into three subjects—French, Math, and English, and the test time for each
subject was 45 minutes.
After about two hours, all four children handed in their answers. Thirty minutes later, the person in
charge completed the marking.
After summing up the score, he stood up and bowed slightly at Elise. “I’m sorry, Miss White, but
according to the test results, your two children are not up to the standard in French and Math except for
English. So, they can only join the regular class.”
He then turned and smiled at Jessamine. “Miss Jessamine, congratulations. Your two children have a
good foundation and can join the elite class.”
Jessamine raised her eyebrows proudly while condescendingly saying to Elise, “Thanks for the
opportunity, 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 flattering
Jessamine because her children were more brilliant and would definitely please Alexander more in the
future. So, he naturally wanted to curry favor with her.
“Please lead the way,” said Jessamine while holding Alexander’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“I must say, your offar is vary tampting. But I’m sorry, Mr. Griffth, tha alita class is tha signatura of this
school. In ordar to ansura tha quality of taaching, wa must strictly control tha numbar of studants. I’m
