Their Punching Bag Became The Storm novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Pleading Desperately to Return

As she spoke, Emily’s voice caught again.

They stopped in their tracks.

Chase let go of Emily’s hand and hooked her chin with his finger.

Her sweet, delicate face was covered in tears, and her big, shining eyes showed guilt and anxiety.

“Why are you crying? It’s not your fault,” Chase said, gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his thumb. ” You’ve been enduring Whitney for the sake of keeping the family together. I know all about it.”

Emily nuzzled her face against Chase’s hand, her voice soft and full of longing. “But I don’t want to see you and Whitney having such a hard time with each other.”

Kayla, hiding in the shadows, listened to their conversation, her eyes wide with shock.

What really blew her mind wasn’t how close Chase and Emily were acting, but what they were actually saying to each other, She thought, ‘Wait, Whitney is scheming, and wants them to acknowledge her identity?

‘What’s Whitney’s real identity?

‘What’s Whitney’s relationship with them?

‘Why does Emily keep putting up with Whitney?‘

Over the past few days, as Kayla watched Emily interact with Whitney, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some hidden connection between them. Something deeper than family drama.

She thought, ‘Now, it seemed their relationship is a lot more tangled than I’d imagined.’

A calculating gleam flashed in Kayla’s eyes as a cunning idea struck her.

She quickly pulled out her phone, turned on the video recording, and covertly aimed it at Chase and Emily.

She thought, ‘If I could get my hands on the Anderson family’s secrets, I wouldn’t have to fear Emily anymore. I could use it to blackmail her and cement her status as the leading lady of Anderson Entertainment.

‘Even if I didn’t manage to record any secrets between them, the way these two were behaving right now, more affectionate than they’d ever been in front of the cameras, was enough to spark a major scandal.’

Chase and Emily were so caught up in their own feelings that they never imagined someone would be hiding outside their place at this hour. They couldn’t believe anyone would be that daring, so they didn’t suspect a thing.

Chase could feel how much Emily depended on him, and it made his protective instincts swell with satisfaction.

He loved the feeling of having a little sister who trusted him completely. Someone he could take care of.

Not like Whitney, who was always trying to provoke him, mocking him to make him notice her.

He thought, ‘Seriously, how dumb is that?

‘Only a soft–hearted, sweet girl like Emily truly deserves to be the Anderson family’s heiress.”

Watching Emily act so gently and adorable, Chase kept weighing her against Whitney in his mind, replaying the differences over and over.

Even the frustration he’d been holding onto about Emily these past few days vanished completely.

Chase said, “Once this show wraps up, Whitney will have to come crawling back to us. She’ll have no choice but to beg us to let her back into the Anderson family.

“Mom, Dad, and Brandon saw everything she did on the livestream.

“Do you really think Mom, who adores you, would ever let her back after seeing how she treated you?

“By then, all her schemes will be digging her own grave. In the end, she’ll be desperate, begging us to let her back into the Anderson family,” He snorted dismissively and pulled Emily into his arms.

As Chase spoke, Emily could already picture Whitney begging them to let her back into the Anderson family.

She thought, ‘Everyone in the Anderson family would stand behind me, blaming Whitney, cursing her, and forcing her to beg for forgiveness.

And Whitney, someone who valued family above all and desperately wanted to belong to the Anderson family, would surely end up begging me, pleading to be allowed back.

‘When that day came, I would send a picture of Whitney begging me to that person.

‘I want to prove that my place in the Anderson family is still unshakable.

‘Hopefully, that person wouldn’t hold my behavior on the show against me

Just imagining Whitney begging in front of her was enough to make Emily feel a rush of excitement.

She couldn’t help but get all worked up inside.

She kept her excitement hidden, still wearing a look of guilt and inner conflict. “But… Whitney is the real heiress of the Anderson family, isn’t she-”

Chase said, gently touching her lips with his finger. “Oh, Emily, don’t be silly.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve never once considered Whitney my sister. In our hearts, the only true heiress of the Anderson family is you.” He looked down, meeting her eyes.

Emily’s eyes were shining with joy and gratitude, and in that moment, it felt like her whole world revolved around Chase/ He lowered his head, she tilted hers up, her gorgeous eyes glistening with tears, full of admiration and emotion. Chase’s finger rested gently on her lips.

The touch was soft and warm, wrapped in a faint, pure floral scent, like a pure flower.

Talk about ultimate temptation.

Chase stared at Emily’s lips, instinctively swallowing hard.

He was a man, after all, young and hot–blooded, full of restless desire.

Even though he’d always seen Emily as his little sister, in this kind of atmosphere, he couldn’t stop his mind from running wild with temptation.

After his thoughts ran wild with temptation, Chase thought, ‘She’s the little sister I’ve raised. She’s still my sister. How could I let myself think that way?‘

Even though his rational mind kept reminding him of that, deep down, Chase’s feelings had already taken a turn.

That hidden, forbidden emotion only made that secret thrill inside him grow, sending a rush of excitement through his veins.

Kayla, hiding in the shadows, was so stunned by the bombshells dropping one after another that she barely dared to breathe, terrified they’d hear her.

She originally thought she’d snag a bit of dirt about the secrets between Chase and Emily and Whitney, enough to have Emily eating out of her hand.

But she never expected to catch something this wild.

She thought, ‘Wait, Whitney is actually the real heiress of the Anderson family?

‘So Emily isn’t the Anderson family’s heiress, and she never was!

‘No wonder Chase and Emily act so close. It’s because they’re not real siblings after all!

‘But Chase keeps insisting Emily is the only sister he acknowledges.

‘Now, the two of them are practically about to kiss right in front of me!

‘Is this what being rich is like?‘

*****

Another fresh day kicked off.

Ryan was totally recovered, full of energy again.

Thanks to Darian’s strict orders, Ryan and Whitney couldn’t slack off or goof around anymore.

As soon as the cameras started rolling, Whitney had finished running three laps around the wild island.

A thin sheen of sweat glistened on her forehead as she caught her breath.

When she appeared on screen, her cheeks were delicately flushed, immediately catching the eyes of the early–morning

viewers.

[My queen is killing me! Early birds get the worm, but I get to see my queen.]

[Is my queen back for the livestream?]

[Wasn’t Ryan running a high fever? Did he really recover that fast?]

[Or is it my queen back today? Is Ryan still resting?]

Chapter 84 Pleading Desperately to Return

[Honestly. I bet Ryan would follow my queen anywhere. He has totally whipped for her!]

[You guys are hurting yourselves with all this shipping. Seriously, stop it already. Ryan shines on his own. He’d never fall for some scheming chick who seduces guys to climb the ranks.]
