After hearing that, Lily pointed to Ralphie and Nyla and said at once, "We had a bet before, if he lost, he had to bark like a dog. Finally, they lost in the race. However, they didn't admit it and even threatened us with his identity."
Tom was angry when he heard that. He turned to Ralphie and Nyla at once.
Ralphie and Nyla didn't expect that Tom would be so respectful to Lily, so they thought it was incredible.
At this time, Tom looked at Ralphie and Nyla and snorted and then said to them, "Is it true? If you lose in the race, you should do what you promised before."
Ralphie got close to him in a hurry and said, "Mr. Tom, don't get me wrong. The man who competed with us is called Casey, and he is a trash. So you don't need to consider him. As for the girl, do you know her?"
Tom stared at him and said, "Shut up! You know what? Miss. Lowe is..."
Tom didn't know how to explain the relationship between Stone and Lily.
"I am the elder sister-in-law of Stone." Lily told them directly.
Casey was surprised when he heard that. He thought that she really regarded the plots in TV series as true.
Tom also felt weird when he heard that. He glanced at Casey and thought that Stone told him that Casey was his elder brother before. If Lily had a special relationship with Casey, she was indeed his elder sister-in-law, though she was younger.
"That's right. She is his elder sister-in-law." Tom said.
Nyla and Ralphie were shocked. They didn't believe Lily. However, they had to believe Tom.
The audience was also very surprised because they didn't expect that she would be the elder sister-in-law of Stone. However, they didn't know why she was his elder sister-in-law, because they never heard that he had an elder brother.
Tom intended to introduce Casey to them so that they could realize their fault. However, Casey gave him a sigh to tell him not to mention it. So he had to shut up.
"Ralphie, how dare you bully the elder sister-in-law of Stone? Do you want to offend Stone?" Tom said to him seriously.
Ralphie was frightened and explained to him in a hurry, "Mr. Tom, I swear I don't mean that. I don't know she is the elder sister-in-law of Mr. Stone."
Nyla complained in her own mind. She didn't understand why Casey was so lucky to meet the girl who was the elder sister-in-law of Stone.
"Since you got it, you should know what to do now." Tom said to him coldly.
Ralphie thought about it for a while and then said, "Mr. Tom, I know what I should do. I lost just now, so I will bark like a dog."
"What about the woman?" Tom glanced at Nyla.
Ralphie pulled her arm and said, "You also need to bark like a dog."
Nyla didn't want to do it and she said to him, "Dear, you had a bet with Casey just now and said that you will bark like a dog if you lose. So I don't think..."
"What are you talking about? Don't you know you have offended Miss. Lowe just now? If you don't bark like a dog now, I won't help you later."
And then, he started to bark like a dog.
The audience burst into laughter at once. Ralphie really felt embarrassed. However, he had to keep barking like a dog because Tom was still here.
Tom glanced at Nyla coldly. And Nyla realized that they wouldn't let her go if she didn't bark like a dog today.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and then barked like a dog together with Ralphie.
Everyone laughed at them and they felt good when they saw them barking like a dog.
Lily looked at them proudly.
"Don't you think you are very powerful? Come on, show me your strength." she said to them.
