Chapter 70 Different Brothers, Different Treatment

Jettson showed her no kindness at all. People around them grew curious about who she was.

He answered coldly, “Just a maid.”

She should have understood sooner. Some people are born selfish and cold.

Giving even a little care to someone like that is a waste.”

She pulled her thoughts back and looked straight at Gavin. This was fine.

Being protected felt really good.

“You’re welcome,” Fred Lynch said warmly. “Your brother and I go way back. We grew up together. You’re his sister, which makes you mine too. If anyone dares to bully you, just say my name. I’m Fred Lynch. You can call me Fred.”

Fred introduced himself like they were old friends.

Larissa remembered him. He was the one who had just shoved a luxury watch–worth a fortune–into her hand like it was nothing.

He was dressed head to toe in flashy designer clothes.

Fred was loaded.

This man turned out to be Gavin’s close friend. The two of them were alike. No matter how old they got, men stayed boys at heart.

They both carried a rough, defiant vibe.

“Thank you,” Larissa said.

Getting so close to a stranger she just met felt awkward to her.

“Hey, hey, back off,” Gavin snapped. “Stop getting ideas about my Larissa. She’s my sister. If you want a sister so badly, tell your parents to have another kid. They’re still young. I’m sure they can make it happen.”

Gavin was clearly unhappy seeing them laugh together.

Larissa just came home, and someone was already trying to steal her away.

Of course he felt threatened.

He had only gone to grab her a cold soda, and now this was happening?

He popped the can open, placed it into Larissa’s hand, and squeezed himself between them like a shield, claiming his territory.

Larissa took a big sip, feeling satisfied.

Just then, a well–dressed young man pushed through the crowd. He and Gavin never got along. They were also rivals in competitive gaming.

heard of you having a sister. She’s not some illegitimate sister you don’t want people to know about, is she?”

Gavin’s face darkened instantly.

“Leland,” he said coldly, “watch your mouth. You can insult me if you want, but you do not talk about my sister. Not one word. Apologize to her now.”

Leland and Gavin had grown up together.

They were known rivals, always competing, always throwing sharp words at each other.

Normally, Gavin didn’t care about his jokes. But this time was different; he actually got mad.

Larissa really mattered to him.

Leland wanted to see just how far Gavin would go for her.

“And if I don’t apologize?” Leland sneered. “What are you going to do about it?”

Gavin’s gaze turned icy. He stepped forward and grabbed Leland by the collar.

“Say that again if you dare,” he said through clenched teeth. “My sister never did anything wrong. You don’t get to spread lies about her. I treasure her more than anything, and you think you can insult her in public? Apologize now.”

Leland Clayton struggled to breathe but still refused to back down.

“What, getting angry now?” he laughed harshly.

“She’s just some brat who showed up out of nowhere. Am I not allowed to talk about her? I heard you like games. There are plenty of people here tonight.

“How about this? Each of us picks two teammates. We do a real–life shooting game match.

“If you win, I’ll apologize to your sister in public. I’ll stay out of her sight forever.

“But if you lose,” he added slowly, “you apologize to me. What do you say?”

Gavin was shaking with rage.
