Chapter 165


    Chapter 165 Who Did He Offend?


    Luca was puzzled by Aaron’s involvement. Were they truly brothers? Why did he have a feeling that


    even the youngest, Aaron, had ill intentions towards him? “There’s no need for this. After all, I am older


    and have some tolerance.”


    None of these three were decent individuals. If they insisted on him betting, then he would have to do


    the opposite.


    Just as he finished speaking, Simone spoke up. “You may have such tolerance, but we aren’t going to


    just go along with it. If Harry cheated, I won’t cover for him, and he should face the appropriate


    consequences. Of course, if my artist is the one being bullied, then those who use and nder him


    should apologize.” She turned to Luca with a smile that wasn’t genuine. “What do you think, Luca? Or


    are you having second thoughts?”


    Aaron encouraged from the side, “Luca, what are you afraid of? Let’s bet with them. Earlier, Luca gave


    me a look of disdain when I agreed to bet. Now, I’ll let him experience what it means to have no choice


    and be forced to know that it’s a trap, but you still have to jump in.”


    Zac rarely found Aaron so agreeable. That’s right, Luca. Don’t be afraid of them. If you’re a man, then


    bet. What’s five sses of cocktail? You can finish them in five sips.”


    Speechless, Luca thought, “Aren’t these two supposed to dislike and hate each other? When did they


    start to stand on the same side? Who did I offend?” Gritting his teeth, he hissed, “Fine, I’ll bet.”


    What else could he do? If he didn’t bet, it would seem like he was afraid. On the other hand, he firmly


    believed that Harry, who had always been suppressed by him, couldn’t be that talented. Therefore, he


    had nothing to be afraid of! Looking at Simone and Zac, he said, “But I have a condition.”


    Although Simone already guessed what he was going to say, she still asked, “What is it?”


    “If Harry can’t do it, it proves that he’s not that talented. Then, both you and Zac will have to drink five


    sses as well.” Since Simone insisted on supporting Harry and going against him, they should all face


    the consequences together, and Zac was no exception.


    Without hesitation, Simone and Zac said in unison. “Deal!”


    Zac nced at the three next to Luca. With a smile, he asked, “If you lose, will your team also take the


    punishment with you?”


    Leon wasn’t fooled. “I just chose Harry earlier, so I won’t be the scapegoat this time.”


    Luca had a lot of opinions about Leon; this guy was betraying him. What did he mean by being the


    scapegoat? Did that mean he would lose? He chuckled, “Then, it won’t count as


    Leon’s loss.”


    Aaron raised his hand and said, “I’m quitting this round. He didn’t want to drink five more sses of this


    kind of cocktail.


    However, Luca objected, “No, we’re brothers and have to do it together.”


    Aaron yed rogue and dered, “Then, let’s temporarily cut off our rtionship.” This time, he was


    determined not to fall into the trap. He had dug the hole himself, and jumping in would just make him


    look foolish.


    Luca seethed silently, “I don’t want a brother like this.” With a dark face, he growled, “Get lost!”


    ‘What a fake sibling affection!”


    “From this, you can see how unpopr Luca is.


    “Even the famous actor, Leon, and his own brother are not on his side. What a pitiful loser.


    Just now, I thought Aaron was indignant for his brother, but it turns out that he wanted to push him into


    the pit instead.


    It’s so satisfying to see Luca being stabbed in the back by his brother!


    “What a perfect stab! Aaron did a great job!”


    Haha, I suddenly don’t dislike Aaron as much right now.


    I’m a bit curious. How will Jojo choose?”


    I’m curious too.


    Everyone looked at Jodie on the live screen with curiosity.


    At that moment, Jodie’s heart was overwhelmed. She hadn’t even finished the three drinks in front of


    her and her third brother had agreed to five more drinks. How could he be so foolish? She was


    supposed to be the obedient and considerate little sister, and if she didn’t stand on Luca’s side, she


    would be criticized.


    But seeing that no one was on Luca’s side, she felt that she had to bear his burden. So, she found


    herself in a dilemma.


    After thinking for a moment, she decided to y dumb. As long as she didn’t speak, no matter who


    won, she wouldn’t have to drink.


    Little did she know that Luca desperately needed someone’s approval at the moment. He


    looked at her and asked, “Jo, you’re on my side, right?”


    Speechless, she really wanted to say, “Get lost.” Acting embarrassed, she pointed to the three sses


    of alcohol on the table. “Luca, I haven’t even finished these yet.”


    Luca looked at the threerge sses on the table and said to Aaron. “Jo is your sister and can’t drink


    so much. Help her to finish them.”


    Aaron was speechless. “She’s your sister, too. Why don’t you drink them?” Luca is really shameless.


    Why should I be the one to finish them all? Being a brother doesn’t mean being taken advantage of like


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    this.


    Luca frowned. “You’re acting strange today!” If this happened before, he wouldn’t have needed to say


    anything, and Aaron would have taken care of Jo, helping her to finish the drinks without hesitation.


    Aaron knew exactly what his brother meant. If this happened before, he would have done it willingly,


    but ever since thest episode when he got diarrhea for Jodie, he realized that she only showed


    concern with her words and did nothing in action.


    He couldn’t help but think of Simone, who would take action to care for him when his stomach hurt.


    What he couldn’t ept was that Jodie had previously told him that her rtionship with Leon was just


    a normal friendship. Despite that, after the photos and videos were revealed, it proved that their


    rtionship was not simple, and because of this, Simone broke up with her childhood sweetheart.


    Not only did Jodie lie to him, but she also intervened in his sister’s rtionship, which left at thorn in his


    heart.


    In addition, beforeing on the variety show this time, Titus had mentioned that Jodie was scheming


    and ying with them, not as innocent and obedient as she seemed. This reminded him of many past


    incidents, and he realized that she did have many ulterior motives.


    Therefore, during this episode of the variety show, when it was his turn to take care of his adopted


    sister, he didn’t act as selflessly as he had in the past.


    Of course, after all these years of love, he hadn’t actually intended for Jodie to drink all of it. His original


    n was to share two sses with her. Extending his hand, he grabbed a ss and stated. “I’ll drink


    this one for her.”


    With bated breath, he downed it in one gulp. Then, he nced at Luca and remarked. “Luca, you


    usually spoil Jo the most, so the remaining two sses are yours.”


    Initially, it was meant to be one ss each, but since Luca insisted on taking the initiative, he


    34


    could have the extra cup.


    In addition to the five ssester and Jo’s five sses, Luca will probably vomitter, but I won’t


    sympathize with him, Aaron decided.


    Although Luca was displeased with his brother’s distribution, he picked up a ss when he noticed


    Jodie’s dependent and aggrieved gaze. “Alright, I’ll drink these two sses for Jo.”


    He finished them in one gulp and scowled, almost unable to suppress the urge to vomit. What kind of


    cocktail is this? Why is it so challenging and repulsive to drink?


    Before he could recover from the disgust, Aaron grabbed another ss and handed it to him, saying,


    “Bro, you’re a true man. Keep going.”


    Luca was speechless; even his brother had been influenced by Zac.
