Chapter 195


    The announcer was very professional as he rattled off hismentary. “Number 5 of the School of


    Financial Management, Richard Harper, has taken the ball. Oh, it’s in! A perfect dunk with a three-step!


    Number 5’s jumping skills are jaw-dropping!


    The School of Computer Science is now behind by two points. We can see that they’ve begun upping the


    ante. Look at Number 7 now. Number 7, Stanley Fletcher has gotten the ball and shot a five-pointer! And


    the ball’s in! The School of Computer Science has taken the lead by a point for now!”


    Thementator got even more excited. “Number 5 has possession of the ball. Number 7 is dogging


    him relentlessly. Oh, he nearly got it. The ball is still with Number 5. Keep it up, number 5! And Number 5


    got rudely cut off by Number 7 while he’s about to dunk. That’s truly tragic!”


    Sophia watched the tense tug-of-war between both teams, her heart slowly lightening as she did. Who


    would have thought that Stanley really had it in him? He was going toe-to-toe with Richard!


    The half-time break began with a blow of the referee’s whistle. Both teams retreated from the court.


    The score was currently 23:20, with the School of Computer Science behind by three points. However,


    they would soon be able to make up for itter after the break.


    Stanley had only just stepped off the court when Nathan came zooming down to him with some water.


    The boy’s usual aloofness was nowhere to be seen. Right now, he was rather warm and receptive.


    “Hey, Nate!” Stanley’s hands were dirty, so he didn’t move to pat the boy. He simply took the bottle from


    Nathan and took a few sips before calling over his teammates to discuss strategy. All of a sudden, one of


    the yers came hobbling over.


    “Captain, sorry about this, but my leg’s injured. I’ll need to go to the infirmary.”


    Stanley eyed the yer’s red and throbbing ankle. “Go ahead.”


    The yer hobbled off with someone helping him. Stanley’s bag suddenly vibrated in his bag, indicating


    he had been Venmo-ed a huge sum of money.


    Now that they were down a yer, Stanley needed to hurry up and find a recement. When he


    checked, however, he found out that none of the three substitutes were there for some reason. After


    some asking around, Stanley found out that the substitute yers had left earlier due to emergencies.


    One of them had stated that his girlfriend was throwing another fit, while another said that his father was


    in an ident. Thest one had a sudden case of appendicitis and was currently undergoing surgery in


    hospital.


    Seeing how his own team only had four yers, Stanley hastily phoned everywhere looking for


    recements. “Hi, where are you, Sandy? What? You’re back in your hometown and are currently lying


    on your bed?”


    He tried his luck with another person. “Rooster, where you at? Wait, what? Why are you at a motel during


    the day? And in some rural area too?”


    “Hey, Mitch…”


    He still wasn’t able to find anyone after a round of phone calls. If they hadn’t returned to their


    hometowns, they were out having fun during their vacation. Stanley had no other choice left. He had to


    go to the audience stands and just grab someone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to y with just the


    four of them.


    “Stanley, what’s up?” Sophia asked when she realized that something was off.


    Stanley exined the situation briefly as he went hunting for potential yers. Sophia reflexively nced


    at Richard to see that he was resting off to the side, slender fingers wrapped around his phone as he


    shed a smile that screamed that victory was in his hands.


    Something seemed to click for her.


    Right then, Stanley’s phone rang. He pulled it out to see that it was a name that he never expected to


    see. He epted the call and left with a frown on his face.


    Meanwhile, Richard put down his phone after he had transferred the money. Now that Stanley’s team


    had too few yers, Richard was going to watch just how they would be able to continue. The School of


    Computer Science wascking in everything except for their abundance in losers, especially those who


    lacked money. The School of Financial Management, on the other hand, still wouldn’t becking in hot


    guys and money even if everything else was taken away.


    Richard took a sip of water and looked at X in the stands before flicking his gaze over to Sophia, who


    was currently looking in the entrance’s direction.


    Oh no. Her heart was racing again. She just had the feeling that something was about to happen!


    The match was about to resume when Stanley quickly returned. He seemed to have found


    recements, for trailing behind him were two men d in down jackets. Stanley was grinning as he


    called those two in.


    Sophia looked at the men before him in curiosity. She couldn’t help but be dumbstruck when she caught


    a good look at their faces. Wait, isn’t that Michael and his gay friend, Harry Winston? she thought.


    Why were they here? Where did they get the guts toe sauntering to this ce? Weren’t they


    megastars? Weren’t they celebrities? Weren’t they supposed to have an entourage of bodyguards


    wherever they go? Weren’t they worried about the number of people here? What if the fans couldn’t


    control themselves from charging down and exposing them?


    Still, those two megastars were just that gutsy. Not only had they sauntered in, they even hurried over to


    the changing rooms to change into the School of Computer Science’s basketball uniforms. Michael was


    Number 8 while Harry was Number 6. With Stanley being number 7, they formed a perfect trio.


    Michael lookedpletely like a university student now that he was dressed in the sports uniform. He


    exuded a sunny and approachable aura, like a boy next door. There was no trace to be found of the


    majestic and blinding handsomeness that he had when the spotlights were trained on him. His bare face


    was bared to the world with no other adornments. There was even some scruff on his chin, as though it


    was the effect of makeup. With his unclean face, dirty sports uniform and theck of spotlights around,


    he appeared to be simply a normal university student.


    To top it off, his hair was currently a bright unnatural color. He looked absolutely the part of a young man


    who didn’t conform to mainstream trends.


    Harry was also dressed in a sports uniform, dirt all over his face.


    From the looks of things, these two megastars intended to step up to the court and y.


    Sophia’s heart had hammered itself all the way up to her throat. Suddenly, she heard people begin to


    talk. “Hey look. Don’t those two look kinda like Taylor Murray and Ethan Winston?”


    “Yeah, they look eerily alike!”


    “But it seems that their auras can’tpare to the actual Taylor’s. Look how dirty his face looks. How


    would Taylor actually go around looking like that?”


    Sophia hurriedly added herself to the discussion. “How can that guy be my bias? He just looks like him,


    that’s all. Both Taylor and Ethan are abroad filming anyway! I even saw him post on Twitter this morning


    that he was in Moscov having dinner.”


    Everyone was drawn in and believed her words. How could those two megastars possibly be here?


    It had to be some really strong lookalikes! They should hurry up and snap some pics to show off to all


    their social media followers!


    Countless phones were whipped out as everyone aimed them at these two megastar ‘lookalikes’.


    The two megastars swaggered onto the court just like that.


    They were actors, and Oscar-winning ones to boot. They were the best when it came to acting and


    putting on a front. If they just stood a particr way and brushed on a little makeup, no one would


    suspect their true identities.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Richard was threatened by the sudden appearance of the School of Computer Science’s recements.


    His instincts told him that these two recements weren’t ordinary people. There was a high chance that


    they had been poached from the School of Athletics.


    It wasn’t surprising to look for yers outside of their own schools. Some of the yers on the School of


    Financial Management’s team were from the School of Athletics.


    Just where did those from the School of Computer Science find their extra yers though? And why did


    they resemble two certain celebrities so much…


    The match resumed with the whistle.


    The battle in the second half was way more intense than it was in the first half. Both teams pulled out all


    the stops, entering a fierce battle right from the start. Sophia kept a hand on her thumping heart in the


    stands. She was so worked up that she nearly jumped from her seat like everyone else.


    A star would never show all his cards. This was the true showdown between her ex-boyfriend and her


    current boyfriend! No, it was more precise to say that it was a showdown between her ex and her


    husband!
