Chapter 234
“Do your best today, my good brother–inw!”
Beatrix knew what udette was plotting, of course. She hastily walked over
to them and snatched Emmanuel’s attention away.
When everyone heard her referring to Emmanuel as her brother–inw, they
were shocked.
Elizabeth was surprised, too, as she said, “He’s your brother–inw, Beatrix?”
Emmanuel hastily exined, “No, it’s a misunderstanding. We’re bros, and she
thinks it’s funny to call me her brother–inw. I’m not married to her sister!”
Beatrix smiled as she remained silent. Mackenzie is right–this guy is a fool! If
he was not my brother–inw, I wouldn’t have called him as such now, would
I? He’s so dumb, but I have to say, he’s fun to y with as well.
When udette saw that scene, she knew Emmanuel wouldn’t be able to
help her out anymore.
The boys standing before her were sons of wealthy families in Yeringham,
and she had a faint impression of them.
The tall and broad one was named Isaac Lane. His brother used to be
udette’s ssmate.
Isaac had met udette before and had fallen in love with this gentle and
reserved beauty at first sight.
He even pursued her before, but she rejected him in a roundabout way by
joking and saying that he was still a brat.
Now that he was 20 years old, he was a brat no more. When he saw the
woman wearing such bold clothing today, he swore that he would win the
heart of the idol in his youth.
udette knew the boy beside Isaac as well. His name was Jonathan
Verkade, and they had met at the banquet before.
Initially, he was aiming for Beatrix, but thetter always rejected him. Now
that he saw udette exuding a more feminine aura while wearing slightly
revealing clothes, he felt that udette should be easier to get than Beatrix.
Hence, he decided to try his luck.
Not only that, Jonathan always had this narcissistic view that he looked good,
and he even secretly wondered if udette would want to do it with him.
At the thought of sharing a bed with this woman who had a back as white as

snow, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Sadly, the gap between expectation and reality was always suffocatingly
huge.
“Sorry, but I’m not interested in teaming up with you guys.”
udette’s honest words instantly caused Jonathan to feel awkward.
The looks andughtering from all sides made him want to disappear
from the face of the earth.
Oh, well. Life is always fair. I’m sure this is a signal from the gods that she’s not
the one for me. With that thought in mind, Jonathan turned around and
invited Beatrix instead.
“Sorry, but I’m teaming up with my brother–inw. We already made a
promise,” Beatrix declined politely, then gripped Emmanuel’s arm tightly.
Emmanuel was exasperated. We are in public right now. How can she
behave so intimately around me?! He couldn’t help but feel as if he truly were
her brother–inw.
The corners of Jonathan’s lips twitched. He realized that his life motto was
wrong. Real life would make one suffer for a while first and continue to make
them suffer until they finally got used to it.
Before Jonathan could say anything, Elizabeth took her sister’s hand and
walked up to Emmanuel, saying, “We’ve already agreed to form a team with
the four of us.”
The corners of Jonathan’s lips twitched even more violently.
Isaac had an upset expression on his face as well. Where did this mane
from? He has snatched away the three prettiest divas. What chances do we
still have?!
Still, Jonathan was an expert at flirting. He always went out and fooled
around at night, so he knew a lot of tactics. He quickly smiled and said, “After
the game ofser tag, Mr. Lane and I will treat everyone to a meal. So, I
suggest we don’t break into so many small teams forser tag; just two
teams will do. Does anyone have any objections?”
No one did.
No one dared to, either.
Everyone knew that Isaac wasn’t one to be messed with; after all, he was
rumored to have connections among the higher–ups in Yeringham.
