Their Punching Bag Became The Storm novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Completely Bewitching Ryan

“I can agree to that,” Chase said, crossing his arms with a condescending air.

“As long as you do well on the show and keep me entertained, once it’s over and we’re back home, I’ll talk to the Andersons and make sure everyone knows who you really

are.”

Whitney was speechless. ‘What an idiot, she thought. ‘He really loves making things up in his head. Did he really think I don’t know what he’s up to?‘

Honestly, it all boiled down to last night’s food hunt. Whitney was over there enjoying the good life with the other guests, while Chase, her own brother, was completely ignored. No wonder he was so upset.

When she treated him well, he simply assumed it was his right.

But now that she had pulled back, stopped being nice, and even started giving him the cold shoulder, he could not take it.

Especially after realizing Whitney could actually survive on the wild island, it drove him

crazy.

He wanted her to use her survival skills so he could keep enjoying the pampered life for the rest of the shoot.

‘What the hell is he thinking?‘ Whitney thought.

She did not even bother to look at him. “Dumbass, get out of my way.”

It was not the first time Chase had been cussed out by Whitney, and it annoyed him

even more.

‘She really is some wild kid from the backwoods,‘ he thought. ‘Even after a year with the Andersons, she still acts all rough and uncivilized.

‘Always cussing and mouthing off. With that attitude, she actually thinks she can be the real heiress of the Andersons? The real heiress should be like Emily: elegant, classy, a total princess.’

Chase watched as Whitney walked right past him without a backward glance.

He gritted his teeth, took a few long strides to catch up, and lunged forward to grab

ver arm.

But before he could even touch her, Whitney stopped. Her voice was icy and mocking.” What, looking for another slap?”

Chase’s hand froze in midair. The memory of Whitney slapping him yesterday flashed through his mind.

His face twisted with fury as he shot her a murderous glare. “Whitney Anderson!”

“Technically, I’m not an Anderson,” she replied with a faint, mocking smile.

“You” Chase was so pissed off that his face twitched with rage.

Then a sweet, delicate voice floated over from ahead. “Chase, Whitney, you two-”

Emily walked over, dressed in a simple white dress and playing up her frail, innocent look with her makeup.

Her big, tearful eyes looked like she might burst into tears at any second as she carefully sized up the situation.

She glanced at Whitney, then at Chase. But deep down, Emily was far from calm. When she realized Chase was missing, an uneasy feeling washed over her. She asked the staff and learned that Chase had headed toward the restroom. Then she remembered Whitney had gone that way, and Chase was right on her heels. Her unease grew even stronger, so she followed to see what was going on.

“Well, here comes your favorite little sister,” Whitney said, shooting Emily a sideways glance with a sly smile. “Chase, maybe you should figure out who your real sister is. Not me, anyway.”

Sure enough, as soon as Emily heard that, her face went even paler.

‘Is Chase really planning to take Whitney back?‘ she wondered, anxiety creeping in. She clenched her fists but forced a gentle smile onto her face. “Whitney, I’m so sorry. Yesterday was all my fault. Your foot got hurt because of me, and I didn’t check on you right away. I even made Chase misunderstand you.

“It’s all my fault. If you have any grievances or want to punish me, I’ll accept it. I only hope you won’t take your anger at me out on Chase.”

Then Emily looked at Chase with concern and affection, giving him a soft smile. Honestly, Chase really cares about you, Whitney. What you did yesterday and today really broke his heart.

“After all, you’re the Anderson family’s real heiress, and you and Chase share the same blood. You two are truly family.”

Emily nailed her role as the thoughtful, considerate heiress. She was the picture of understanding.

Chase felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks. His heart skipped a beat. He knew Emily was going out of her way to appease Whitney, all for him. She wanted to keep their sibling relationship intact.

Even if Emily had her own little tricks, her kindness was part of who she was.

Chase hoped Emily’s words would finally get through to Whitney and make her soften

1. up.

He figured once Whitney went back to her old self, all he would have to do was be a bit nieer to Emily.

Thinking this, Chase held his head high, waiting for Whitney to apologize.

Whitney curled her lips into a smile. Her glossy red lips made her vivid, alluring looks even more mesmerizing. Her sultry, almond–shaped eyes held a lazy, teasing smirk. “Did you two puke and crap so much that you went crazy?” Whitney said, her voice icy and cutting. The smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Chase and Emily’s expressions shifted. Both looked stunned.

Whitney lifted her gaze and shot Emily a sideways look. “We all know exactly what you are. So do us all a favor and drop the act.”

Then she turned to Chase. “And you. Next time, think twice before you talk to me.”

At her words, Emily’s face went even paler. Her lashes trembled, her eyes turned red and brimmed with tears. She looked so delicate and wronged that anyone would feel sorry for her.

Chase didn’t get it. Whitney wanted to be the Anderson family’s heiress, and he had already said yes.

Emily had even apologized and tried to make things right with her.

‘What more does she want?‘ Chase thought, feeling more and more annoyed. ‘Is she really not going to stop until Emily gets kicked out of the Anderson family?‘

The more Chase thought about it, the angrier he got. He finally snapped, “Why can’t you accept Emily? She’s already given up so much for you. What more do you want from her?”

Whitney shot him a frosty glare. “Who is really the one who can’t accept the other? You‘ re not blind. You’re brainless too. Do I need to knock some sense into you myself?”

‘A couple of dumbasses, Whitney thought. ‘Talking to them makes me feel gross.‘ She walked off around the corner without a second glance.

Chase was furious. There was no way he was letting her walk away. He stormed after her. “Whitney, you need to explain yourself.”

Right then, Ryan stepped in front of him.

rie looked almost otherworldly, one hand in his pocket as he blocked Chase from going after Whitney.

His face was cold and distant, completely blank. He was so detached that it sent a chill right through Chase.

“Chase, something you want to clear up? Let me spell it out for you,” Ryan spoke quietly, but his presence was overwhelming.

Chase’s throat tightened, and his twisted expression froze in place. ‘Why does Ryan always have to stick to Whitney? How the hell does Whitney get Ryan this obsessed with her?”
