Chapter 130
Then, her expression turned troubled.
“Isabella has always wanted to participate in this competition. Will she be sad if you do this?” Her wolf felt a flicker of guilt, a poorly–disguised attempt at manipulation.
Caleb, lying on the bed, perked up at her words.
His wolf perked up at the mention of my name.
Alexander noticed Caleb’s attention and let out a cold snort. His eyes became sharp, and his voice carried a hint of disdain.“I don’t care about her entry.” His wolf snarled at the mere mention of me.
He turned to Emily.“How’s your work coming along?”
His wolf was impatient.
Guilt immediately appeared on Emily’s face. She lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting together, and her voice barely above a whisper.“Isabella used to manage Jared’s team, but now that she’s gone, I have to juggle my studies and team training; it’s just too much.
So…”
Her wolf was trying to appear innocent and overwhelmed.
She raised her head, her eyes full of apology.“I’m not satisfied with my work design.” This was a carefully calculated retreat.
By retreating in this way, even if she couldn’t come up with a good design, she wouldn’t lose her good image.
Alexander’s became as sharp as knives, and he gritted his teeth.“No wonder Isabella was so sure that you couldn’t come

Jared was also enraged. He suddenly punched the door, making a loud noise.“She must know she left you with a mess, and you can’t focus on preparing for the competition!”
Jared’s wolf mirrored Alexander’s anger.
Caleb, lying on the hospital bed, listened to his younger brothers‘ words and secretly sighed in his heart. He wanted to remind his two younger brothers that when I did these things before, besides sacrificing my own study time and falling behind in my courses, I had done everything else perfectly. It’s just that they had never noticed. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make a sound now. His wolf felt helpless and frustrated.
Alexander and Jared stood on either side of Emily, like two loyal guardians. Encouragement shone in Alexander’s eyes, and he said softly, “Emily is so smart, talented, and spiritual. With those designs, you can just draw casually and win the first place. It’s still not too
late to do it now.”
His wolf was subtly encouraging Emily to replace me.
Jared wasn’t to be outdone and quickly chimed in.“Emily, you can stop the training for these two days and just focus on the
competition.” Jared’s wolf was eagerly participating in the plan to undermine me.
Emily was roaring inside. She didn’t want to work hard at all! But a touched expression immediately appeared on her face, and there were even tears in her eyes. She said softly, “Thank you, Jared, Alexander. I will try my
best.”
Emily’s wolf reveled in the brothers‘ adoration and support.
