Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 386

Slit Her ThroatThat same afternoon, the Olson Family declared their bankruptcy at the end of the stock trading and the company assets were frozen while the court issued a bankruptcy order. Amelia presently appeared to be in a daze as she sat next to Jeremy, letting out long and tired sighs every once in a while.

She wondered how she was going to tell her son that she had gambled the entire family fortune away. There didn’t seem to be a gentle way to break the news, and with his poor state of health, she wasn’t sure whether he could accept the blow. Then, Jeremy woke up with a violent coughing fit and the heaving made his body shudder.

Within seconds, he was coughing up blood. “Doctor! Doctor!” Amelia looked as if she had gone insane as she scrambled out of the room, and she returned with the consulting doctor and a team of nurses in tow. While the medical team went about the emergency life-saving procedure, she stood out in the hallway and watched the entire episode through the glass. It was only a full hour later that Jeremy’s condition was stabilized, but the doctor walked out and informed wearily, “I’m sorry. We’ve done our best, but we can’t promise that he will survive the next fit.”

“No, don’t say that! My son was perfectly fine, so don’t tell me he’s terminally ill all of a sudden!” Hot tears streamed past her cheeks as she gripped the doctor’s arm and begged, “Please, please save my son. He’s only twenty; he’s still a child! He’s too young to die!” However, the doctor could only sigh ruefully and he couldn’t make any promises. At last, Amelia was exhausted from all the crying and she suddenly grew calm as she recalled Elise’s warning from the other day at the clubhouse. “When the Griffiths wind up the company for good, that will be the end for Jeremy.”

bad premonition, Amelia nearly retreated from the confrontation, but the thought of keeping Jeremy alive overwhelmed all reason. With a deep breath, she clenched her jaw and barged into the clubhouse. She was practically moving on instinct, but when she hurtled through the doors of the VIP lounge, she saw Nathan sitting insouciantly inside with Alexander and Elise. The three of them formed some sort of insidious triangle as they occupied the two couches in the lounge, and it was clear to see from their dynamics that they had known each other for

her tone did not seem to have softened. Elise was unbothered as she countered coolly, “Do you have proof to support that accusation?” “Of course I do! Everyone saw you touch him, which means you’re the one who landed him into such a sorry state! Don’t you

it was as if panic had turned Amelia’s brain to mush. She wasn’t in the mood to argue with Elise now and decided that pleading was the best way to go. As she humbled herself, she begged, “Please, Elise, you have to save my son. He’s too young to die like this. I’d do anything you want if you save him!” Elise wickedly eyed Amelia as she pointed out, “The Olson Family has no fortune to their name,

that moment, she cast her pride away and fell on her knees, her bones hitting the cold, hard ground. Bowing her head, Amelia could finally see why Thaddeus had such high regards for Elise. In hindsight, she should have heeded her father’s advice and known better than to trifle with the girl. “My son and I were wrong to have done all

plenty of chances—like back at the car dealer and at the police station, just to name a few occasions. Jeremy could have changed for the better after he was rescued, but he didn’t.” Then, she paused and held Amelia’s gaze impassively. She parted her lips and emotionlessly added, “You have to pay
