Chapter 9


    lovin and Yara sumounded Yvette at the Murray Manor. They cupped each side of her cheeks while


    their voices withered with concem we’ve taught thous people a stem lesson for you. We promise


    never to let you suffer sach injustice again!”


    In the end, the store issued a forinal apology to Yvette. They even fired the manager and stall


    member, kicking those people out of Tubife City


    Yvette didn’t take that all matter to heart and only nodded with a band expression.

    Yata continued warmly, “Yvic, this is the dress I specially chose for you to wear at the banquet. I’m


    sure it’ll look amazing on you, our beautiful


    The ficklent at the mall caused them to lose all interest in dress shopping. So, Yara contacted a


    dress shop and picked out the banquet dresses


    “Yasmin, this is the dress chose for you!” Yara didn’t forget about Yasmin. With tender affection, she


    motioned thetter toe over. “You and Wie should y the ne on stage during the banquet.


    When that happens, all thedies of high society will envy me for having such outstanding


    daughters!”


    t dress design but


    Yasmin’s expression dulled once she saw a picture of the dress Yara chase. It turned out that Yara


    had given Yvette thetest dre pave Vasmin a design fromst year.


    Yasmin felt Yara was utterly biased for doing so


    “What’s wrong, Yasmin? Do you not like this dress? I could’ve sworn you’ve always liked this brand,


    though…” Yara replied.


    Yora always had poor health, so she disliked socializing outdoors. She usually preferred gardening


    and seldom paid attention to things like Lashion. Naturally, she didn’t know clothing was


    categorized by thetest designs and those from previous seasons,


    She only knew Yasmin Bled this brand’s pieces, so she specially picked out this dress for her.


    Despite feeling upset, Yasmin shed a honeyed smile as she hugged Yara’s arms. She put on a


    deliberate affectionate act in front of Yvette. Thank you, Ait Yara! I love it! We’re so in sync. I was


    previously eyeing this dress, too!”


    She wanted to drill one thing into Yvette’s mind–that she was closer to Yars and train, even if Yvette


    was the couple’s biological daughter.


    s, Yvette couldn’t be bothered to spare a nce at Yasmin’s act. Yvette’sck of interest felt like


    a cold p to Yasmin’s face, making her


    even more upset.


    “I’m happy to hear that!” Yara was pleased with Yasmin’s response. She then tomed to speak to


    Yvette in a gentle tone. “Oh, right, Yve Your


    ith older basher, Sean, ising home the day alter tomorrow when his Esports toumament enda!”


    Yvette’s delicate brows arched when she heard “Esportspetition” Then, she nodded. “Alright, I


    understand.”


    Still, Vara went on with the same gentleness “We, Sean can be foolhardy. If he upsets you in any


    way when he returns, feel free to tell your dad and me about it. I’ll lecture Sean into behaving for


    you!”


    “That’s right!” Irwin joined in, nodding fervently. “vie, I’ll make that heat kneel in front of our family’s


    memorial hall for forgiveness if he dares to pick on you!”


    He refused to let anyone ebully his precious daughter, not even his five sons


    Yasmin couldn’t help rolling her eyes when she heard that. Even the corner of her lips slightly


    curved into an undetectable sneer.


    Knowing Sean was about to retum, she was determined to brainston a way to make Sean hate


    Yvette.


    Yvette sat on the couch and yed mobile games. She maneuvered her in–game character with


    her slender fingertips. Her very presence was pleasing to the eye.


    Vet, Yasmin immediately nced at the former with contempt and mentally scoffed. She found


    Yvette to be an ipetent loser. After all, wasn’t long before the banquet, but Yvette was still in


    the mood to y mobile games.


    Yasmin refused to waste her time like Yvette. Instead, she needed to practice her no skills.


    Yasmin wanted to steal the limelight at the banquet and crush Yvette, the bumpkin her family had


    picked up from the countryside!


    Meanwhile, Yvette received a game invite once she was online. She epted it without much


    thought. After that, she switched on her inkreptione in the team chat and heard a pleasant, excited


    male voice.


    “Rebir, you’re online again! I have some amazing news to tell you I won the Esports National


    Championship this year! What do you think? Did I make you proud?” Sean Murray eximed.


    “That’s pretty gecil, Yvette casually answered. She agreed that winning the national championship


    was indeed a decent achievement. Sean’s excitement became more noticeable upon receiving


    Yvetta’s praise. He added, “Rebir, I heard you’re in Jubilife City. I’m going


    home


    there the day after tomorrow once thepetition and


    tomorrow once thepetition and award ceremony ends. How about we meet after I go home to


    see my younger sister? “You’re kind of my mentor and contributed to my win at the national


    championships. I genuinely wish to meet and thank you in person!”


    Rebar was a legend in the Esportsmunity. She had incredible gaming skills and won many


    globalpetitions. However, she disappeared from themunity shortly alter those wins.


    Sean once overestimated his talents and challenged Rebir to a match when he was young and


    reckless. Their yer vs yer duel ended with her beating him to a pulp


    Since then, he became convinced about Rebir’s abilities. He had the utmost respect for Rebir while


    also fearing her.


    “Younger sister?” Yvette asked, astutely picking up on those keywords. She raised a brow and felt a


    sense of foreboding. She wondered if Sean could be the fifth older brother she had learned about


    earlier.


    “Yeah!” Sean voiced without any careful thought. “We found my long–lost sister, so my parents keep


    urging me to go home. I’m not that eager to meet her, to be honest. I’m only doing it because my


    parents insist that I do!”


    Although Sean imed to feel that way, he had already booked the earliest flight back to Jubilife


    City for the day after tomorrow


    He continued, “My mom even insists I prepare a present for her. How annoying! Rebir, since you’re


    also a woman, what kind of present do you think she’d like?”


    The dots were connecting in Yvette’s mind. Helplessness flickered in her coptivating, upturned


    eyes.


    Sean didn’t notice Yvette’s odd behavior. Instead, he kept rambling on. “Oh, forget it. There’s no use


    in asking you, Rebir. Piligure it out


    myself.”


    He touched the nearly lined–up gifts on his desk and fell into a conflicted state. He wondered if he


    should just give all ten of them to his sister


    “Women are so troublesome. I’ll act like a tough big brother when I go home. That way, she won’t


    dare disobey or challenge me She must do everything I say without any objections!”


    “Do as he says without any objections?” Yvette wonderod.


    She listened in silence as Seen bragged. Once he finished, she stated emotionlessly, “You’ll


    practice for three more hours today”


    “Wait. What? Why? Sean’s features wrinkled into a pained expression at once. His voice took on a


    yowl as heined, “Three extra hours, Robir? You’re cruel!”


    Amidst his suffering, he wondered what he had said wrong. Why did Rebir punish him with extra


    gaming practice so suddenly?


    Wette tib longer said anything to him. She then went offline and exited the game.


    That was when she got a WhatsApp notification.
