She Outshines 193
Chapter 193
Athena was speechless. ric was young and always adorable. There was really nothing she could
do about him. She patted ric’s head gently, as if she was coaxing a golden retriever. “Yeah, it’s
been tough on you.”
“No, it’s not hard, ric continued to cry. “As long as I can continue in y sports and participate in
competitions, I’m willing to suffer no matter how tough it is. 1-1 simply didn’t expert I would be able
to turn things around. It feels like Ive obtained a new lease of life.”
ric’s buddies who came to celebrate his birthday were speechless at this sight. ric was
already an adult, yet he was still crying in his sister’s arms. It was embarrassing. However, they also
envied him for having such a close rtionship with an outstanding sister.
Fortunately, ric only cried for several minutes before he stopped. He let go of Athena and wiped
his tears with his sleeve. He acted as if nothing happened and turned to his buddies. “It’s my
birthday today. Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food. You guys shoulde too.”
ric’s buddies cheered, “H****y for rie’s mom!”
Then, everyone split into two groups, One group sat in Athena’s ear while the others took the taxi.
They headed to Donovan’s Restaurant in a grandiose manner.
the
Donovan’s Restaurant was also full today. However, there was a sign hanging at the entrance of the
restaurant that read. “It’s the boss’s son’s birthday tonight. The restaurant will be closed from 7 p.m.
Apart from their grandparents who were still in the hospital, everyone who could make it came.
Even Jaden came from the countryside to make a few of his best dishes.
Everyone squeezed around the table in thergest private room, enjoying the delicacies while
wishing ric a happy birthday. Only then did ric proudly announce to everyone that he had
signed with the tennis club and would soon. be a professional tennis yer.
Everyone present knew tennis was ric’s favorite sport. They stood up and cheered for him, giving
him hugs and kisses while sincerely congratting him on getting what he wanted.
ire said, “It’s a double blessing. I’ll make an exception this time and allow you to drink alcohol.
You can drink whatever you want, as long as you don’t overdo it.”
After that, they celebrated in the private room, ying cards and joking around. They yed plenty
of games and partied
hard.
Because they didn’t have time to surf the Inte, they didn’t know that while they were having fun,
the Faraway Club, which had ruined ric’s basketball dream, was in big trouble.
At around nine o’clock in the evening, many Inte celebrities, marketing ounts, and online
media received screenshots of the email exchange between the Faraway Club, the sponsor from
Hatnd, and the higher-ups of Hatnd’s second National Basketball Team.

compete with Hatnd’s second National Basketball Team in a warm-up and friendly match but had
to lose, or they would cancel all their sponsorship.

The Faraway Club, on the other hand, said that as long as it was not an official natch, they would
satisfy their requirements..
After Hatnd’s second National Basketball Team lost to Faraway Club, they used Faraway
Club of going back on their word and ruining their friendship in an email. They also decided to
terminate their cooperation immediately and send the trainees from Faraway Club in Hatnd back.
Faraway Club didn’t even dare toin. They repeatedly apologized in the email and even
exined that the club’s rookie was insensible and refused to obey, which resulted in such a bad
oue. They also said they had already refused to sign the rookie on and asked for forgiveness,
Hatnd refused to forgive the Faraway Club. The sponsor sent all the canceled sponsorship
documents to Faraway Club.
The documents were stamped with the seal of Hatnd’spany and signed. It was almost
impossible to fake it. Therefore, after the ounts that received these screenshots posted them on
the Inte, it caused a huge uproar immediately
Netizens criticized the Faraway Club and pushed the scandal to the top of the trending searches.
One of them remarked: [We’re not living under their thumb any more. How can there still be so
many b***ds kissing Hatnd’s a*** F** Since they are such bootlickers, why don’t they have their
lips glued to Hatnd’s a***s?]
Anothermented: [Faraway Club is a scourge of the sports circle and a disgrace to the
basketball world. If they don’t disappear, there will be no future for Osceiton basketball.]
A third added: [All these years of love and support have been in vain. I hope Faraway Club will be
doomed.]
Someone said: [The other sponsors said they were unaware of Faraway Club’s practice of losing
deliberately and suspended their sponsorship to the club. Once it is confirmed that the news is true,
they will cancel all sponsorships.]
It was alreadyte at night when the news spread online.
There was no one on duty at the Faraway Club, so they did not notice the uproar in time.
When the higher-ups of Faraway Club received the news and wanted to do damage control, they
realized they could not log into all the official ounts of the club, including the official website and
the ounts on various social media tforms.
Furthermore, the official website and these social media ounts all posted evidence of the club
throwing games at the top of the homepage. They could not be deleted, and it attracted countless
netizens to look at and mock them.
At the same time, no one could ess the Inte through the clubwork because of aputer
virus that could not be killed by the antivirus.
The higher-ups of Faraway Club were helpless. They could only order all the yers and
employees of the club to rify on their personal social media ounts that the club did not
deliberately lose games and that the so-called evidence was all fabricated. They had already
entrusted aw firm to collect evidence.
The Faraway Club’s rification did not convince the public.
After one night, not only did the scandal not cool down, but it also blew up across all major online
tforms. Netizens, as well as fans, peers, sports circles, and the media, denounced the matter
and asked the officials to investigate thoroughly.
The higher-ups of the Faraway Clubs did not sleep the entire night. They were so worried that they
wanted to cry. They could not understand why this happened because they had alreally deleted all
the emails that involved them losing games on purpose. No one could possibly dig them out.
They thought that perhaps someone was messing with them secretly and that there might be a
mole. They tried to find the mole, but this internal strife did nothing but interfere with their speed in
dealing with the crisis.

ways he could be taken. advantage of. It’s a waste for such an upright and cheerful guy to enter the
entertainment industry. He should y basketball.]
Another conumented: (Wow! His figure is great. He even has an eight-pack. I love him!

Just like that, ric began to be famous online..
However, as a new tennis yer who had just debuted and had no actual achievements, it was not
good for him to receive so much public attention.

“You know what to do about ric, right?”
