Chapter 866 A Downgraded Counterattack

Alexia mischievously stuck out her tongue. “Bleh...”

The awkwardness of that question made Jamie palm his forehead, but when he heard theincreasingly aggressive flute and piano tunes competing with each other, he composed himself andswung the French horn before her. “Irwin is being bullied. Do you want to help him?”

"Yes!" Alexia shouted. “Very good. I'll teach you how to play this. Watch carefully. All you need to dois to use your fingers to push these buttons and blow with all your might. Then, just change thenotes quickly.”

“Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti.” Jamie played a few notes with the mini French horn and then cleaned themouthpiece with a wet wipe before handing it to Alexia. “Try it.”

Narissa had taught him how to play the mini French horn and he only learned the basics because hethought it was fun. It was only after a while when he found out that she wanted to ruin Alexander'sengagement party with it.

That woman always has such strange but interesting ideas. Holding the mini French horn betweenher hands, Alexia played with it but showed no intention of practicing it.

Just as Jamie was about to urge her, she suddenly pressed on the buttons, put her lips to themouthpiece, and blew out a perfect note. Then, she began to do a run of notes. “Do Re Mi Mi Mi, ReMi Re So.”

Jamie's eyes lit up. “Do you know how to play?”

"Of course.” Alexia blinked her beautiful eyes, which made her look cute and lively. “Why didn’t yousay so?"

“You didn't ask.”

Feeling resigned, he wondered why children nowadays were so difficult to deal with. Also, were theynot staying abroad since they were born? How could one know how to play the flute while the otherknew how to play the mini French horn?

"Alright, alright. Let's leave the details aside.” He quickly changed the topic. “Now, it's time to makethe unimaginable happen!”

“Come on.” He hugged Alexia in his arms again and turned to leave. “Let's head back to the banquetand add some fuel to the fire!"

Back at the venue, ten minutes had passed, but both children were still playing their instruments.None of them were willing to admit defeat.

Fortunately, both of them were equally talented, so no matter how long they were playing, thecrowd had no complaints.

At that moment, a sharp note from the mini French horn suddenly sounded into the room. Then, acheery wedding march tune began to play and spread throughout the venue.

Once the loud mini French horn reverberated throughout the room, everyone made way forwhoever was playing the mini French horn.

Immediately, the pianist went out of flow and Jessamine’s son consecutively played a few wrongnotes. Although he was able to make a comeback, he still could not hide the few ear-piercingmistakes from these noble guests.

Meanwhile on Irwin's side, he was completely immersed in his performance as if he had becomeone with the flute. Not only was he not affected by the sound of the mini French horn, he evenchanged his key and started to play along with the mini French horn. The harmony immediatelyturned into a lively tune.

Just as the crowd was confused about who was spoiling the mood, Jamie walked arrogantly towardthe stage with Alexia playing the mini French horn on his shoulders.

As they neared the stage, Alexia played the mini French horn even louder.

Meanwhile, Irwin could feel the sound right before him, so he slowly opened his eyes. When he sawhis sister, he smiled adoringly and cleverly improvised his playing to match hers.

The two had been playing instruments this way ever since they were abroad. There were even timeswhen they used three to four instruments together, so playing with only a flute and a mini Frenchhorn was already considered beginner level for them. So, naturally, they were able to play togetherin tacit agreement.

While under the attack of the siblings’ strange duet, Jessamine’s son lost his tempo. He held on fora while longer before his piano was the first to stop, which also announced his defeat.

After that, Irwin and Alexia also stopped playing.

The results were clear. Irwin, who everyone assumed would lose, was able to withstand the pressureand win against Jessamine’s son.

On the stage, Jessamine’s expression turned dark as coal.

A French horn ruined her romantic engagement party. Now, even her farewell party was ruined by amini French horn!

What did I do to you, French horn?!

The whole venue was plunged into silence as everyone placed their attention on the two children onstage.

A long while later, Jessamine’s son appeared from behind the piano with a defeated expression ashe weakly announced to the crowd, “I lost.”

Once he finished, he lowered his head and began to cry. His large tears fell from his eyes and he didnot even have the courage to wipe them away.

Feeling distressed for her brother, Jessamine’s daughter ran over and grabbed her brother's sleeve,trying to comfort him, “Are you alright?”

However, the boy had lost his dignity, so he was not in the mood to reply to her.

The more she watched her brother cry, the more anxious she became. She turned to Irwin and ranto him.

"You're the one who bullied my brother!”

Alexander keenly noticed the situation and quickly grabbed Irwin. Meanwhile, the young girl missedand fell straight onto the stage before bursting into tears. The situation had gone out of control atthis point.

After setting Irwin down, Alexander coldly ordered the servant on the side, “Come over and bringthe child away.”

“Yes, sir!"

A male servant ran up the stage and toward Irwin before kneeling beside him, wanting to carry himaway.

However, Alexander kicked the servant away. “Are you dumb or blind? I meant the other two!"

"Yes, sir. Right away!”

The servant got to his feet, grabbed the children with each of his hands, and carried Jessamine’schildren off the stage while the mother trailed behind.

Now that the three had gone away, the atmosphere became particularly strange.

Today was Jessamine's son's birthday, after all, but Alexander had chased them away. What was themeaning of this?

Standing on the stage while sweeping his gaze across the crowd below, Alexander pondered for amoment before snatching the microphone from the emcee. He had decided to face the situationopenly.

"Everyone, Miss Jessamine and I have conflicting personalities, so we have decided to cancel ourengagement. From today onwards, we'll be interacting with each other as friends. Today's events areonly a small argument between children, so I hope that everyone can still enjoy your time here.Please excuse me while I tend to some personal matters.”

Afterward, he stuffed the microphone back into the emcee’s hand before turning toward Irwin.“Come with me.”

Meanwhile, Jamie also silently followed behind them with Alexia in his arms.

Noticing the situation, Elise also silently followed them.

Without Alexander there, gossip spread like wildfire across the entire venue.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Now that problems have appeared, it's quite clear who has Alexander's support. Didyou see how protective he was just now? It seems like Anastasia isn't a push-over!”

“It hasn't been long since her return, yet she’s able to capture Alexander's heart. Do any of youknow about her background?”

“Believe it or not, the Griffith Family would definitely be under the Whites’ control!”

Inside the spacious lounge, Jessamine stood dejectedly in the middle of the room and completelyignored her crying children beside her.

Meanwhile, Alexander sat in the seat in front of her and questioned her with a serious expression,"Are you going to say it yourself or do you want me to have someone get to the bottom of this?”“Hah.” She looked at him with contempt as she spoke with her eyebrow raised, “What's there toinvestigate? What did my son say wrong? If they aren't better than us, what right do they have toreplace us?”

“Now that your son lost, you should've accepted the reality, right?” Jamie interrupted.

“Yes, I lost, but I won't admit it. I didn't lose to Ansatasia White. I lost to Alexander; I lost because heis a man who's never satisfied with what he has. I lost to a completely heartless man!”
