Chapter 235
Isaac used to be a tyrant in school, so no one dared to offend him and NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Jonathan.
At this moment, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
People usually formed teams of five for laser tag, so now that they had to
split into two large teams, it didn’t feel as fun anymore.
Also, in team activities, no one wanted to be on the same team as tyrants; it
felt too suffocating.
Claudette also found the two annoying. If Emmanuel weren’t around, she
would’ve quit right away.
Beatrix, however, was smart enough. When she heard Jonathan saying that,
she knew that the two wanted to join her team at all costs so that they could
flirt with the pretty women in all sorts of ways.
Hence, she raised her hand and shouted on purpose, “Alright, then we’ll split
into two teams. Anyone who wants to join our team, come and stand behind
us!”
In an instant, more than 20 people stood behind them.
It was not an unexpected outcome. All three divas were on that team, so
everyone would want to be on their team.
There were a total of 30 participants, but 28 of them were on the same team.
As for the remaining two, why didn’t they join?
That was because they were Isaac and Jonathan!
If they joined as well, it would be a team of 30 versus none. They would win by
default, so they didn’t even have to play!
Jonathan and Isaac could feel the cold wind breezing past them. The
atmosphere turned extremely awkward once again.
Jonathan and Isaac weren’t fools. They knew no one wanted to be on their
side, so their expressions darkened. “Fine, we’ll form a team of two. All of you
will regret this!”
Jonathan was mad from embarrassment, and he left right after saying that.
Isaac’s friendship with Jonathan was too strong, so he could only grit his
teeth and follow Jonathan.
!
After the two unpopular guys were gone, the remaining 28 people felt the
match would be too dull if to be proceeded as such, so they ignored the two
and divided themselves into seven groups. It was just right for every team to
have four members.
등
Hence, the game started.
The battlefield covered two hills, and the map was huge indeed. It felt like
they had replicated video games in life–size.
In an attempt to create opportunities to be with Emmanuel, Claudette had
spent quite a lot of money to bribe her sister. She promised to buy a new LV
bag for Elizabeth so that the latter would help her distract Beatrix.
Beatrix was a smart person, so of course, she knew about that, too.
Though, she didn’t plan on intercepting them. After all, her mission was to
help their grandfather stimulate Mackenzie, particularly in the jealousy
department, so that she would realize how much she liked Emmanuel.
For now, she would just play along with them. After squeezing some nice
things from Elizabeth, she would leave in peace with Elizabeth instead of
being the third wheel for Emmanuel and Claudette.
Claudette finally got to have some alone time with her Prince Charming. She
quietly followed Emmanuel, enjoying the experience of being protected by
him.
Unfortunately, Emmanuel was a serious man. He didn’t take her hand, and he
was too focused on observing the terrain that she didn’t have any chance to
strike.
“Aah!”
As Claudette walked behind him, she suddenly tripped and fell.
“Are you okay, Ms. Lenoir?”
It was only then that Emmanuel turned around and helped her up.
“I’m fine, but… Dr. Lowe, I’m walking at a slow pace, and I’m a clumsy person.
Won’t I be dragging you down? To tell you the truth, I don’t know how to play
at all!” she said with an apologetic look on her face.
The man finally smiled. “It’s just a game, so you don’t have to be that serious
about it. It doesn’t matter whether we win or lose.”
“But… winners can get a prize. I may be slow at this kind of game, but I still
want to experience the feeling of winning the game. I want to get the prize as
a memento, so… can you carry me, Dr. Lowe?”
Claudette blinked at him with her huge, bright eyes.
