Chapter 193 A Bet
Chapter 193 A Bet
After a few minutes, everyone had formed their respective team. Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, and the twins were the red team whereas the Blue team was composed of Andrew, Hannah, Mark, and Daniel. Their other cousins were in the Yellow and Green Team.
Matthew let the team have a short meeting to strategize their moves in every game. While they were doing that, the elders and their parents were also having a conversation, guessing whose team would win the competition.
To involve the elders and other members of the family who were not participating in the game, Grandpa Lu suggested something to them.
"Since the games for the elderly like us will be held this afternoon, we will become spectators of this morning's competition. Do you want to join the fun?" Grandpa Lu consulted others.
"Hmm, sounds interesting. What are you suggesting, brother? How can we join the fun?" Grandpa Alejandro asked while rubbing his chin.
Everyone was anticipating Grandpa Lu's suggestion.
"Why don't we support and choose one team whom we think will win today? Then let's have some bet. Hehehe. What do you think? With this, we will also win something by using our bets. You can ask anyone here whom you wanna compete with the bet."
Everyone agreed with Grandpa Lu's suggestion. They liked that. At least they could also support their sons and daughters, at the same time, they could gain something after winning the bet with someone.
"Sure, let's do that. Brother, I wanna make the bet with you. What team will you choose?" Grandpa Alejandro challenged Grandpa Lu.
"Hmm, my dear brothers, I want to do this too. Include me in your bet," Grandma Clara also joined them.
The three elders talked privately. Of course, they didn't want to look biased with their children and grandchildren so they decided to make their bet secretly.
Grandma Clara: " I will choose the Yellow Team because my grandchildren are there.
Grandpa Alejandro: I will choose Blue Team because I think Andrew's team has the upper hand and the advantage.
Grandpa Lu: "Hmm, I will choose the Red Team."
Grandma Clara and Grandpa Alejandro let out a soft chuckle after hearing that.
"We are not surprised. I know you will choose the Red Team because Tristan is there, the favorite grandson of your beloved wife, Cassandra." Grandma Clara commented with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, That's why I chose the Blue team. Honestly, I was torn between the Red Team and the Blue Team. But since I knew that my brother would choose the Red Team so I gave way right away," Grandpa Alejandro also shared his thoughts with them.
But Grandpa Lu reacted and corrected their wrong assumption. "Hey, of course not! Who said Tristan is the reason why I chose the Red Team? My dear Brother and Sister, you were both mistaken about that."
"I don't believe you," Grandma Clara insisted.
Grandpa Alejandro chuckled once again. "Hmm, really? If not for Tristan, then why did you choose the Red team?"
A wide grin appeared on Grandpa Lu's face as he glanced in the direction of the Red Team. Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara were taken aback upon seeing his wide grin.
p
Then suddenly they heard Grandpa Lu's voice.
"I chose the Red Team because my granddaughter-in-law, Lillie, belonged to that team." Grandpa Lu stated proudly and confidently.
Grandpa Alejandro: "..."
Grandma Clara: "..."
The two elders were rendered speechless. They didn't expect that would be the reason for Grandpa Lu in choosing the Red Team.
Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara exchanged meaningful glances with each other, both of them were thinking the same thing.
It looked like this Lillie Meyer had gained their brother's approval and favor. They wondered how she was able to impress Grandpa Lu to catch his heart.
Meanwhile, others also started making a bet with someone, even Lucas and Isabelle.
"Which team are you supporting? Do you wanna make a bet with me, Honey?" Lucas whispered to Isabelle.
"Oh, sure, why not! I'm rooting for the Red Team!" Isabelle immediately answered him.
"Oh, then I have to choose the Blue team!" Lucas said, scratching his face.
"What is our bet?" Isabelle asked him excitedly. She was positive that Tristan's and Lillie's team would win.
Lucas gave her a cheeky grin before answering her. He leaned in to whisper his response.
"If I win I want you to satisfy me and serve me on our bed every night for a whole week. You must listen to everything I will say to you every night," Lucas winked at his wife after saying that.
Isabelle blushed at that thought. Her husband was being naughty once again. She knew that her husband would ask naughty things from her once he won the bet.
But she had nothing to worry about. She believed in Tristan's team.
"Ok deal! If I win then you will become my slave for one week and follow everything I will say to you as well." Isabell said to him with too much confidence as if she knew that she would win this.
Lucas let out a husky laugh. "Hmm, sure, Honey! It's a deal."
On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Miller approached Thomas and Alice. They also wanted to challenge them with a bet.
"Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, why don't we make a bet as well while supporting our daughters' respective teams?" Mr. Miller said to them.
Thomas and Alice gave them a polite smile. "Sorry Mr. Miller but, we don't have money or anything for this bet."
"Oh, no worries, we are not interested in your money or material things you owned. We have a lot of that," Mr. Miller was being sarcastic, boasting their family's wealth to the poor husband and wife.
Mrs. Miller butted in, proposing some conditions. "What about this… if Lillie's team wins then we can offer Mr. Meyer a position in our company. You said you were looking for a job. And if my daughter's team wins then I have one request from both of you."
Alice and Thomas just remained silent, waiting for Mrs. Miller to finish her words.
With her sharp eyes, she looked at Thomas and Alice before saying the rest of her words.
"I want you to discipline your daughter and ask her to stay away from my daughter and Andrew."
Alice and Thomas were clueless why suddenly Mrs. Miller was acting cold and fierce in front of them.
"What do you mean by that, Mrs. Miller?" Alice asked her, feeling puzzled.
Mrs. Miller flashed her mocking smile and said, "Oh, I guess you didn't know the truth. Hmm, you have no idea that your sweet daughter tried to seduce my daughter's fiancee who was also her husband's brother."
Alice and Thomas were astounded upon hearing that. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. Lillie was not the kind of girl who would do that. For them, she was pure and innocent.
