“Basketball is just his hobby. If he decides to give up, he can still return home and live a luxurious life. As
for you, the reason why
you are playing basketball is to earn a living. Besides, this is just a trial. There’s no guarantee that you’ll
get picked for the team.” While looking at the boy’s sad eyes, Sonia sarcastically added, “Such a pity.”
However, his mother’s face had already darkened in anger. “Y-You!”
After seeing how the usually calm Sonia managed to anger those people without breaking a sweat, Tyler
felt especially
delighted in his heart.
When she came toward him, his body
When she came toward him, his body trembled as he rushed toward her and yanked the sleeves of her
coat. He then quietly begged, “I really want to keep on playing basketball. Please don’t let Zane
bring me home. Let me participate in the
trial.”
“When did I say that Zane’s here to bring you home?” Sonia tilted her head and glanced at him. “Or, did
you really want to
head back with him?”
For a moment, Tyler was dumbfounded. “Then, why is he here.”
“I asked him to send me over.”
“I see.” Tyler patted his chest. “I thought
that he came to bring me home, which
made me scared for a moment.”
However, Sonia ignored him and she went to shake hands with the coach. “Hi, I’m Tyler’s sister and I
apologize for being late I had something to deal with at my company, which is why I only managed to
rush over now.”
“It’s fine. What’s important is that you are
here.” After he shook her hand, the coach
handed the contract to her. “Tyler really is
a talented boy. He’ll definitely pass the trials! Don’t worry about handing him over to me. I’ll take good
care of him.”
With a smile, she replied, “That’s all the
assurance I need.”
Just as Sonia was about to sign the contract, the guardians behind her
Just as Sonia was about to sign the
contract, the guardians behind her suddenly rose to their full height one by
one and raised their voices. “He looks so average when I saw him play either. He’s
not even better than my son, so why does he deserve to join the trials?”

“She’s right. His skills aren’t special at all!”

Now that he observed the situation, the coach had no choice but to calmly explain to the other parents,
“I’m the coach here, so I’m sure how skillful the students are at the game. Tyler is indeed talented”

“Coach, did his brother ask to see you before?” a parent asked tentatively, but her intention couldn’t be
much clearer.
The coach was rendered speechless for a
moment after he heard the question.
“W-What the hell are you talking about?!” Tyler almost swore in front of everyone as he gritted his teeth
in anger. “The truth is that I’m good at playing basketball. What does that have to do with my brother?
Stop slandering others!”
“Tyler, we also feel that you are actually not that good at basketball.” A few of the boys who had just
signed the contract also made their voices heard.
“Hey, you guys…” The coach was afraid that if he said the wrong word, the situation would escalate.
Upon seeing the helplessness on his face, Sonia’s eyes narrowed as she put down
Upon seeing the helplessness on his face,
Sonia’s eyes narrowed as she put down her pen and shouted at Tyler, “Tyler, since
your schoolmates feel that you are not that good at basketball, why don’t you play
a game with them?” Then, she turned
toward those boys and asked, “How about
we play a game? The best out of three
wins.”
“Bring it on!” Since all the students were chosen by the coach of the national team, they weren’t far
behind in terms of ability to play basketball, so they were definitely not afraid to play against Tyler.
“That settles it.” Sonia turned toward the coach and apologized, “Coach, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take up
a bit of your time.”
However, the coach could see that she
was trying to resolve the situation, so he
sighed in relief. “It’s alright. Besides, I want
to observe the students a little bit more to
see what position suits them the most.”
Soon after, the coach arranged the players for each team and their respective
position.
In the meantime, Sonia gave Tyler a towel to wipe his hands. “I want you to seriously play this match. If
you win, I’ll help you to sign the contract for the trials, but if you lose, all of us will be embarrassed and
you might even earn a slap when you return
home.”
“I won’t disappoint my brother.” His eyes were firm and filled with passion. “I will win
this!”
Even though it was just a friendly competition between schoolmates, she
was able to see the passion burning inside
the young man’s eyes.
The Toby whom she met was always calm
and restrained when he dealt with every
situation, but the young man in front of her now was filled with passion. He looks like a
completely different Toby.
As Sonia suppressed the emotions inside her heart, she murmured, “Go on. I hope that I didn’t come
here for nothing.”
Tyler nodded his head and quickly entered
the court.
Meanwhile, Zane was quietly listening to
their conversation on the sidelines as he

their conversation on the sidelines as he
had entered after her. However, he didn’t expect her to be so bold as to sign Tyler’s basketball contract
as a family member
without Toby’s approval.
While Sonia and Tyler spoke to each other
earlier, Zane had even secretly recorded its
contents.
It took a while before the match began and
right after Tyler scored, Sonia cheered
loudly without paying attention to her
reputation. As she gave her support to him, Zane suddenly asked, “The plan is for Tyler to join the Fuller
Group in the future
to help the family business. Aren’t you afraid that Toby may blame you for signing the contract and
allowing Tyler to play
basketball?”
“If he wants to blame me, let him come to me.” Her eyes were still following Tyler’s movements as she
took a deep breath. “Besides, I’m already the villain inside his heart and it’s also time for him to reflect
on himself.”
“Oh?” Zane raised his brows. “What does he have to reflect on?”
After Tyler missed a shot, Sophia calmed down before she answered, “He should reflect on how to be a
brother and see what kind of life that Tyler wants.
Otherwise, it’ll be something he’ll regret in
the future.”
“You’re absolutely right, President Reed,”
Zane concurred.
“You’re absolutely right, President Reed,”
Zane concurred.
The moment he was done with his recording, he opened his Messenger and
sent the two videos to Toby.
As he sat in his office, Toby’s eyes slightly darkened the moment he saw Zane’s
message.
