“Listen to me, Sophia—Kayla just came back from Africa. I hope you can come to our engagement banquet this time; there are lots of misunderstandings between you and Kayla. Perhaps both of you can take this opportunity to resolve your misunderstandings so that all of us can be family once more,” he said.
Family… A look of disgust crossed Sophia’s face, looking as though she had feces in her mouth. Did Kayla really go to Africa? She’ll definitely bully me if I go to the Harper Family’s engagement banquet!
Just as Sophia was about to reject the invitation, someone took the invitation card from Richard all of a sudden. Stanley had appeared behind Sophia at one point in time, and he even held her shoulders with one of his arms. Looking like a boyfriend who was protecting his girlfriend, he accepted the invitation card on her behalf.
“Alright, no problem. We’ll definitely be there!”
Pretending that he didn’t notice the grim look which appeared on Richard’s face, Stanley said very seriously, “This time, I’ll definitely go to your party in a car with a rental fee of 10,000 per day.”
Richard’s face fell even more; he simply turned around and left after bidding Sophia goodbye. After he walked away, Stanley threw the invitation card into a garbage bin at the side. Pretending like nothing had happened, he said to Sophia, “Come on, Sophie! Follow me and let’s get something great to eat!”
Sophia strode forward. “I’m not going,” she said curtly.
Stanley caught up with her. “Today’s the offline gathering of our esports team, so lots of gaming experts will be attending! You know about the Esports World Championship, right? It’s the most incredible competition of all time!
Our Dragon Fox Team is the champion of Cethos, which will represent the country to participate in the international competition soon! Basically, the greatest gaming experts in Cethos are in our team! Come on, I’ve already made reservations.
Those two scumbags will not be coming to the gathering, but I’ve already paid for the reservations. If we don’t go, my money will be wasted. Please, come on, come with me!”
Today… seemed to be the day of the offline gathering for the esports team. Although Sophia had rejected their invitation without any hesitation, perhaps she could go and have a look.
After all, they didn’t know who she was either; she could even take the opportunity to meet her other teammates. Besides, she wouldn’t feel awkward since her old, aggressive husband wouldn’t be coming to the gathering anyway. Therefore, Sophia reluctantly agreed to go with Stanley. “I’m hungry too, so I think I’ll just go with you then!”
With that, the duo left the campus together. They took the subway to the place where the offline gathering of the esports team was being held.
Since all members in the gaming team were highly-paid professional players, the venue for the offline gathering must definitely be a grand place. They had even reserved a huge suite for the gathering!
When they reached the place, they noticed that the rest of the team members had arrived. There were six of them in total. Including Sophia, who didn’t reveal her identity, there were seven of them. As she expected, Scary Phoenix was not there.
All members of the esports team were prominent figures indeed. Among the six members, four of them were professional gaming experts often featured in various gaming magazines. Sophia actually knew all of them—she even saw Sean in the team!
“What brings you here, Sean?” Sophia goggled at his face in shock, which was even prettier than a girl’s.
Sean looked like a 180-centimeter tall girl. A shy expression crossed his smooth, supple face as he scratched his head and grinned. Stanley introduced, “Sean might be a little girly in real life, but he’s really awesome in the game. Do you know the Dragon Belle Warrior character in our esports team? That’s him!”
Sophia felt that her entire perspective on life was altered completely. The Dragon Belle Warrior was so incredibly fierce in the game; it was actually Sean!
Just as she expected, there was not a single girl in the team. All of them were young boys and middle-aged uncles. They were surprised when they saw Sophia as they asked, “She is…”
