Chapter 41 A Provocation Letter (Part Two)

Sophia stuck a tongue out at Fiona. Fiona smiled helplessly in response.

Spencer caught the smile on Fiona's face. This set him in a good mood. He turned to the girls with a more cheerful air. "If you want to see the basketball match, just let me know and we'll follow your decision," he announced.

"I want to see it!"

"I want to see it, too!"

"And me!"

Almost all the girls in the team raised their hands. Fiona raised hers as well, even though she wasn't as enthusiastic as the others. At least it let her out of training. She had no reason not to join in.

Spencer saw Fiona and immediately said, "Alright. Let's show these young men just how awesome we are!"

"Yes, Mr. Cheng!" Eric ran away with a smile.

The girls were in high spirits.

"Although we will be watching a basketball match this afternoon, we can't break the discipline," Spencer continued in a more serious tone. "We will gather here this afternoon. Of course, it is required that you cheer for me during the game. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, sir!"

Spencer nodded with satisfaction. "Dismissed!"

Right on cue, the bell rang. A large group of students rushed toward the canteen.

Sam and Ryan were also among them.

"You were absent minded in class today. What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"Nothing." Ryan's eyes darkened. He had been thinking about going to find Fiona, but on second thought, he was afraid that she might not want to see him. As a result, he felt frustrated.

"Don't be so upset!" Sam teased as he thumped Ryan's chest. "There will be a basketball match between us and the drillmasters this afternoon. Why don't you join us? You'll do great." Sam got more and more excited as he talked. "Relax and have fun a little bit. What do you think?"

"Drillmasters ?" Ryan asked. "What about the military training?"

"They'll suspend it for this afternoon. All of the freshmen will be part of the audience. So that means Fiona will be there. What do you say? Is that convincing enough for you?"

Ryan didn't bother keeping his feelings a secret. "Yes, it is. I'll go then."

"Great!" Sam smiled triumphantly. "As long as we work together, not even the drillmasters can scare me."

The corners of Ryan's mouth turned up. He put his right hand under his neck and touched a brand new necklace. He smiled slowly.

That afternoon, the basketball court in D University was full of tension and excitement. All the freshmen were in the stadium. They were shouting, chanting, and cheering as they waited for the basketball match to begin. Even the area outside the stadium was packed with people. With all the hustle and bustle, the match felt even livelier than the school anniversary.

Members of D University Basketball Association had already changed their clothes and were doing warm-ups in the lounge. Ryan w

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

masters didn't change their clothes. Instead, they took off their tops, wore their vests and sneakers, and went to the court.

Their well-shaped bodies attracted girls' screams.

Spencer walked to the rest area and said, "Give me a bottle of water."

"Here you are!" Since Sophia was in a good mood just now, she quickly did as he asked.

As he took the bottle from Sophia's hand, he stole a glimpse towards Fiona. Fiona was seated in her seat quietly. She had her head bent down. She didn't even glance to acknowledge Spencer's presence.

"Get me a bottle too." Eric ran over and took a bottle of water. As he drank, he noticed something wrong with Spencer's shoulder. "What's wrong with that?" he asked, pointing at it. "Were you cut? What happened?"

Sophia, who was appreciating Spencer's figure, leaned it to look closer. Indeed, there were some blood marks on his back. "I think a woman left this," she snickered.

Spencer raised his eyebrows. 'You're right,' he thought to himself.

Fiona's hands trembled. Her ears turned red as she listened to their conversation.

"Fiona, come here!" Sophia grabbed her arm and pulled her up. "Look, don't you think these look like scratch marks? As if it was done by a woman!"

Fiona was so angry that she wanted to shout. She perfunctorily looked at Spencer's shoulder. The sight of the marks made her face flush.

Eric's eyes wandered between Spencer and Fiona. Something was odd between them. With a resigned smile, he said, "Okay, okay. Mind your own business! Stop gossiping. Just cheer us on."

Suddenly, the sound of a whistle caught their attention.

The referee gestured to the two teams to come forward.

Spencer put the water bottle down and walked with Eric to the court. After two steps, he turned around and rushed back towards the rest area. "Remember to cheer for me later," he said with a wink.
