Their Punching Bag Became The Storm novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Everyone Gathered Around Emily

After finishing the show on the wild island.

Chase wasn’t doing any better.

Because of his close interactions with Emily on the show, he was now being gossiped about and pointed at. His buddies teased him, saying he and Emily had some kind of messed–up, dirty relationship.

That really pissed Chase off.

He thought, ‘We have a simple, normal brother–sister bond. It isn’t anything like what they imagined, and nothing dirty or messed up at all.

But he couldn’t explain it.

In the end, he holed up at the Andersons‘ house, not bothering to step outside.

But though he dodged the gossip in real life, the comments about him online were so harsh that he couldn’t scroll through them without getting pissed off.

He’d spent years hustling in showbiz, riding on his status as the Andersons‘ fourth son, and finally made it as a top–tier idol.

But thanks to this live show, all his hard work got wiped out in a flash.

Fans were dropping him like flies.

Haters came out of the woodwork, and even ex–fans started trashing him online.

He was getting roasted so bad online, it was insane.

Especially with Emily dropping one bombshell after another, and then Eric’s drama piling on top of it.

His reputation, which was already on the verge of collapse, was pretty much destroyed now.

Honestly, if I said I wasn’t bitter about it, I’d be lying; Chase thought.

He couldn’t help but resent Emily a bit. If she hadn’t insisted on joining the show, and if she hadn’t pushed him to bring Whitney along, none of this mess would’ve happened.

Honestly, he never really wanted to do a live reality show in the first place. As the Andersons‘ fourth son, he wasn’t exactly known for his patience.

With pre–recorded reality shows, he could always count on editing to keep up his image.

But with live broadcasts, it was way too easy for people to see the real him.

But he couldn’t resist Emily’s puppy eyes and constant pleading, especially since Brandon was totally on board with her chasing her dreams in showbiz.

In the end, he agreed. Just so his precious Emily could debut and maybe make it big right from the start.

But now, he was left completely humiliated.

And after they got back from the wild island, Emily hadn’t come to see him once.

She hadn’t said a single word of comfort or concern.

Chase felt bitter and disappointed.

It was as if all his genuine feelings had been tossed aside, as if they meant nothing at all.

He felt caught in limbo. Nothing was right, nothing was wrong, and it was downright miserable.

He thought, ‘If this were the old Whitney, whenever I came home with a sour face after getting roasted online, Whitney

would always show up with a cup of coffee to help me chill out.

Then she’d hop onto her account and fire back at every single nasty comment about me.

‘She didn’t give a damn about all the backlash she got for it.

S

‘She was like a knight in shining armor, always stepping up to shield me and taking down anyone who dared to come at me.”

The more Chase thought about it, the more he felt that having a blood sister really was the best.

He thought, ‘T’d always gone out of my way for Emily, but she didn’t give me a second thought.

He was feeling all kinds of messed up inside.

What frustrated Chase more was how Whitney wasn’t like her old self anymore.

He thought, If Whitney could go back to the way she used to be, I would probably forgive everything she did to me during

Chapter 130 Everyone Gathered Around Emily the live show.

I’d still be willing to let it go and be nicer to her.

‘Because, well, I am her big brother after all‘

Thinking about it, Chase suddenly thought, ‘Maybe sending Paula to talk to Whitney isn’t such a bad idea after all.

‘Whitney was always so cold to me, but who knows, maybe she’d soften up if she saw Paula.

“Back then, Whitney used to cling to Paula all the time.

If Paula showed a little warmth, Whitney would probably come running back.”

Chase was about to speak up, planning to tell Paula to speak kindly to Whitney when she saw her later.

He wanted Paula to act like, as long as Whitney came home, they’d let bygones be bygones and not hold any grudges about all the drama she’d stirred up.

But before he could say anything, Paula suddenly slammed her hand on the coffee table and shot to her feet. “How dare she not care?

“The Andersons pulled her out of that backwater and gave her a life of luxury, a place in high society, and a respectable name. She should be grateful!”

Paula thought, ‘How dare she not care about the Andersons?

‘Come on, Whitney definitely cares about us.

‘Whitney always wanted nothing more than her family’s love.

‘Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been making trouble for Emily at home, always pulling little tricks to get noticed.

‘I could have Whitney wrapped around my finger in no time.

‘My daughter wouldn’t dare go against me.‘

Paula turned to Brandon. “Go find Whitney right now. Let’s see how she reacts-”

But before she could finish, a sudden, sharp pain shot through her chest.

Her heart, which had been racing, suddenly seized with pain.

She clutched her chest and collapsed onto the sofa with a thud.

She fell right onto Emily, who was sitting behind her.

Emily cried out in pain, her scream echoing through the room.

“Emily!” Eric rushed over, totally ignoring Paula. He pushed her aside and quickly picked Emily up.

Paula might’ve kept herself fit, but she still weighed over 110 pounds.

With all that weight crashing down, there was no way Emily’s small body could take it.

Brandon and Chase both stood up, turning their attention this way.

Emily’s face was pale with pain as she leaned into Eric’s arms, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Emily, are you okay?” Brandon walked over and ruffled her hair gently.

Even though Chase still had some resentment toward Emily, his heart softened for her in that moment.

The three of them gathered around Emily, doing their best to soothe her.

No one noticed Paula clutching her chest, twisting in pain on the sofa.

It wasn’t until Eric yelled at her, “Mom, what are you doing? If Whitney made you mad, why are you taking it out on She’s so delicate. What if you actually hurt her?”

Eric’s shout snapped everyone out of it

That’s when they finally realized Paula was in real trouble.

Emily

“Mom? Mom, what’s wrong?” Brandon asked. He quickly crouched down, noticing the cold sweat beading on Paula’s forehead.

Her usually elegant face was now pale and twisted in agony, contorted by the sharp pain in her chest.

Paula said, “It hurts… It hurts so much…

It felt like her heart was about to explode, or as if someone were

The pain was so intense that she couldn’t put it into words.

Brandon’s expression turned grim as he turned to Chase. “Oh no, Mom is having a heart attack Cha and grab her heart meds!”

Chase bolted upstairs, but halfway there, he suddenly stopped. “Where are the meds? Wait, always keeps Mom’s medicine?”

As soon as he said that, everyone froze.

They all stood there, in shock.

Chase was right. Whitney was always the one who took care of Paula’s medicine.

Paula had always had a heart condition, and her health was never great.

Whitney the one who

But ever since Whitney came back to the Andersons, she’d been preparing herbal medicine for Paula, giving her massages and doing acupuncture.

Paula hadn’t had any health issues for a long time.

Right now, it was probably her emotions getting the best of her, setting off her heart pain.

Honestly, ever since Whitney came back to the Andersons, everyone had their own aches and pains, but thanks to Whitney‘ s careful nursing and persistence, they barely noticed their health problems anymore.
