Their Punching Bag Became The Storm novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Be Revealed at the Perfect Moment

Chase strode forward and placed his hand on Emily’s shoulder. Her body was shaking violently.

He immediately took her hand, only to find it was as cold as ice.

“Emily!” Chase called out, his brows furrowing.

He quickly wrapped both hands around hers, bringing them to his lips to breathe warm air on them.

Even though there had been all kinds of storms these past few days, the sun was always beating down in the mornings. Yesterday had been clear all day, and the weather was still nice now.

Chase thought, ‘How is she freezing like this?‘

Emily was trembling, as if she’d finally found someone she could rely on, and she nestled into Chase’s arms.

Chase immediately hugged her tighter, rubbing her cold arms to warm her up. His face grew dark as he looked up at Whitney. “Enough!

“Emily was offering a few simple words of greeting and concern. If you don’t care, there’s no need to scare her like this!” Chase thought, ‘Whitney is seriously malicious!

‘Trouble always follows when she’s around.

‘She wants Emily gone so she can take her place, doesn’t she?

“No way am I letting her get away with that!

Whitney snorted coldly, “Whether it was a greeting and concern, or something else entirely, she knows exactly what she meant.”

She met Chase’s resentful gaze, her brows arching slightly, a touch of sinister playfulness and coldness glinting at the corners of her eyes.

Her perfect fingers suddenly flashed before everyone’s eyes.

At the tips of those pale fingers was the phone handed out by the show.

With a casual wave, the phone gleamed under the morning sun.

Whitney suddenly curled her lips into a mischievous, wicked smirk.

That smile was so dazzling, the sparkling sunlight couldn’t compete with the glow she gave off.

It wasn’t Chase who was caught off guard by that smile.

The viewers in the stream were completely entranced, as if they’d lost their minds over that one look.

“Why are you grinning like that?” Chase snapped, trying hard not to admit that even to himself, Whitney’s looks had caught him off guard.

Chase thought, ‘So what if she’s pretty? She’s got a nasty mind, always scheming, using her face to flirt with guys, and stomping all over her own family.

‘No matter how gorgeous she is, it can’t cover up that rotten, dirty soul of hers!‘

Whitney smiled, “I’ve told you before that I can’t stand you.

“If you want to film the show without drama, then stop getting in my way. You keep showing off, get put in your place, and then start playing dirty behind the scenes.

“I can’t film in peace. You guys are such a pain.”

She unlocked her phone, tapped it a couple of times, then angled the screen away from the camera and held it out for Emily

to see.

Whitney said, “Do you really think I can’t send out what’s on this phone because we’re filming? Or maybe you never cared about what’s on this phone from the start.

“Since you figured Darian would take them back after the show, and as an investor, you’ve got plenty of ways to wipe whatever’s on it clean, right?” She tilted her head, raising an eyebrow.

When Emily saw the audio recording screen on the phone, her face went pale in an instant.

Chase’s expression darkened as well

After Whitney finished speaking, both of them looked as if their secrets had been laid bare. A flicker of surprise crossed

their faces.

The next moment, Emily’s eyes were red as she buried herself in Chase’s arms, crying her heart out. “It’s all my fault. shouldn’t have asked for so much, shouldn’t have kept hanging onto you and bothering you. I’m sorry…

“Chase, take me away… Let’s leave… We don’t need to bother Whitney anymore.” As she spoke, she hugged Chase tightly, completely lost.

Chase looked at her, seeing how she was making herself small to avoid trouble, and his brows furrowed tightly, his face dark and stormy.

He was about to say something when he felt a strong pull on his arm.

Emily, still in his arms, discreetly shook her head.

“There’s no way that recording can be released, Chase thought,

Chase never imagined Whitney would actually whip out that recording right in front of the cameras, looking like she’d play it for everyone if they kept running their mouths.

Chase thought, ‘Doesn’t she get that this is going to make everyone in the stream start guessing wildly?

‘Is she really trying to ruin me?‘

The more Chase thought about it, the angrier he got, and his disgust for Whitney only grew stronger.

He shot Whitney a fierce glare, then wrapped his arm around Emily and turned to leave.

Watching the two of them scurry off with their tails between their legs, Nora’s eyes widened in surprise.

She bounced over, trying to get a look at what was on Whitney’s phone that had freaked them out so much.

But before she could get close, Whitney had already put her phone away.

Whitney ruffled Nora’s hair, gave a lazy stretch, and headed back to her seat. “Alright, finally some peace and quiet for a while.”

Nora wasn’t about to give up. She scooted over again. “Whitney, what did you show them?”

The others leaned in, all listening closely for her answer.

Everyone was dying to know what was on Whitney’s phone that could make Chase and Emily bolt from the scene like that. Whitney raised an eyebrow. “That’s a secret.”

No way she’d spill it now.

She thought, ‘Where’s the fun in spoiling it right away?

‘Secrets are best dropped when the timing’s right. That’s how I get the most drama.

‘And this? Step one.

‘Just look at Nora’s reaction.

‘Now, everyone’s dying to know what’s on my phone that could make Chase and Emily so nervous.

‘People are bound to start guessing all kinds of things.

‘And if they start coming up with wild theories, that’s when things get really interesting.‘

As long as Whitney kept that secret locked away, Emily and Chase would be on edge, always worried she might drop the bomb at any moment.

Whitney actually took real pleasure in watching the two of them squirm in fear.

When Nora heard it was a secret, she whined and tried to coax Whitney for a while, but still didn’t get an answer, so she eventually had to give up.

If Nora was dying to know, you can bet the stream viewers were more desperate.

[Come on, spill the tea! Why won’t you tell us?]

[Nora, keep asking! You’re so adorable, she won’t be able to resist and will spill everything!]

(I’ll pay big bucks to find out what’s on Whitney’s phone!]

[Is Whitney pulling this stunt on purpose? Maybe there’s nothing on her phone at all. She wants to hog the spotlight.] [Seriously, are you clueless? If there was nothing on that phone, would Chase and Emily be acting so scared?]

[Whatever’s on that phone has gotta be a massive bombshell. Look at how nervous Public’s Sweetheart is. I bet she’s right in the thick of it.]

[Ugh, it’s so frustrating when she drops a secret and then stops halfway!]

[For real, Public’s Sweetheart knows Whitney can’t stand her, but she still keeps trying to get close. Is she a glutton for punishment or what?]

[And every time she does, her eyes get all red for no reason, she starts crying out of nowhere, sniffling and whimpering, and she’s always looking at Whitney as if she were scared out of her mind.]

[I mean, if she’s really that terrified of Wild Beauty and always ends up bawling her eyes out, why does she keep running back for more?]
