The villa was only a ten-minute walk or three-minute drive away. She would just take the walk as exercise!
Zac suddenly stood up and said, “I’m going out for an evening run, so I can walk you back home along the way.”
Cheryl, who didn’t think much about it, nodded.
Before they went out, Cheryl, who suddenly thought of something, said, “By the way, I have to take two days off starting tomorrow.”
The head coach happened to exit the room at this point. Upon hearing this, he asked, “What for?”
Mm, shooting practice.
Don’t forget that Cheryl had another identity—a shooting athlete!
Although she had enrolled in Harvard via the college entrance examination, she had never given up on shooting as a sport.
The coach was confused. “What?”
Zac explained on her behalf and said, “Cheryl is a shooting athlete.”
… Uh-huh, and then?
Cheryl said, “I promised the national team that I would train with them for at least two days a month.”
The coach: “??”
The rest of the club seeing her out the door: “?”
Cheryl, who had mistaken their reaction as disapproval, explained, “I only need to go for shooting practice two days a month so that they wouldn’t bother me. Don’t worry, my focus is on the game!”
Gaming wasn’t a one-man show but a team effort.
Therefore, Cheryl indeed had to spend more time training team coordination with them.
Lionel, who had pretty much become numb to further revelations, said jokingly, “Um, considering that you got a score of 1598 in the college entrance examinations, be it games or shooting, isn’t either too much of a waste? Why don’t you do scientific research instead?”
Celebrities and game clubs were lucrative businesses, but being a scientist was obviously a more respected profession!
Cheryl thought for a moment and then replied, “That’s an option.”
Everyone: “…”
I’m kidding, I’m kidding… After speaking, Lionel, who wanted to improve his relationship with Ms. Rich Heir God C, patted his chest and said, “For the sake of playing for our club, you have decided to patronize the national shooting team and just train with them a couple of days each month… But don’t worry! You may not be able to take the championship in shooting, but we will make it up to you with the game competition! We are very confident of taking the championship this year!”
Cheryl: “?”
Who said she couldn’t take the championship in shooting?
She blinked a couple of times and thought of explaining, but when she saw how moved everyone looked, as though she had given up shooting for the game… she couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
She put on her shoes and went out.
Zac followed behind her.
As soon as the two of them exited, they saw a car at the door. A middle-aged lady dressed opulently then got out and walked straight to the two of them.
The woman frowned at the pair in front of her and then said to Zac, “Why is there a girl in the club? Is she the girlfriend you mentioned?”
Zac: “?”
Some time ago, his family had wanted to set him up on a blind date.
However, he couldn’t be bothered to go, so he made up an excuse and said that he already had a girlfriend.
It seemed like his mother had misunderstood, though.
He was about to explain when the woman said, “Zac, you’d better be rational about this! I’ve already given my permission for you to become a professional e-sports player under the condition that you would only play until you are 25, whereupon you will retire and return to inherit the family business! But I will never agree to you dating just any random woman!”
After saying that, the middle-aged woman’s eyes reddened and she said, “Your father has brought his illegitimate son home, and I heard that he is even planning to set him up on a blind date with the young lady of the Smiths in New York. If he really marries Ms. Smith, you’ll be finished! You won’t be able to inherit the family business anymore!! If he wins the Smiths over, unless you marry the mysterious young lady of the Hunts, you really won’t have any hope of inheriting the company anymore! Are you trying to drive me to my grave?!”
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and started to dab at her eyes. “Never mind that he’s fooling around outside, but he’s even brought his illegitimate son home now. Is he so confident that we won’t fight back? Zac, you heartless boy. I suffered so much all these years, yet you don’t care about how I feel at all… I have given you everything you wanted all your life… How can you treat me as heartlessly as your father? Are you going to let that homewrecker step all over me in the future, too?”
Zac heaved a helpless sigh and said, “Mom, stop that act of yours. She is not my girlfriend but a new member of the club.”
After a moment, the stunned woman stopped crying and then smiled awkwardly at Cheryl. “Oh, is that so? You should have told me earlier. I ended up crying for nothing…”
Zac: “…”
Cheryl: “…”
Cheryl was thinking about what the woman had said just now, though. Did she say that the Stannards’ illegitimate son was planning to befriend Mia?
She tilted her head and took out her cell phone to inform Mia of the news.
But after a moment’s thought, she decided not to. Mia was currently in her second year of high school, which was a critical moment for her studies. It would be better if she didn’t bother Mia with such news.
Thus, Cheryl sent the message to Peter instead. She wrote: ‘Hey Peter, the Stannards in San Francisco are planning a political marriage with Mia.’
After sending the message, she looked back up to see the middle-aged lady pulling Zac’s ear as she said, “Listen up now. I didn’t let you do whatever you want so that you don’t fight for what’s yours. That boy is only 18 years old now; you’re a whole three years older than him! You can play games if that’s what you want, but you must take back the family’s assets! It’ll be so embarrassing if I end up being kicked out of the family after putting up so much with the Stannards!”
An extremely helpless Zac replied, “… Okay, okay.”
Try to find the young lady of the Hunts and see if you can seduce her!
Zac: “!!”
Cheryl: “????”
The young lady of the Hunts… Was she talking about her?!
Surprisingly enough, Cheryl ended up listening to gossip about herself in the end!
She grinned and said, “Um, I’ll go first.”
… Okay, Zac replied.
Even after walking a distance away, Cheryl could still hear Mrs. Stannard nagging at Zac. “Young man, you are already in your twenties. It’s about time you find a girlfriend. It can’t possibly be that you’ve never had a girlfriend before because you’re into men instead, right?”
Cheryl: “??”
Did she just hear something she shouldn’t have?
She quickly sped up, lest she ended up being silenced by the captain.
Well, just kidding.
He wouldn’t actually kill her, of course. However, if he made her life difficult in the future, things would certainly become very troublesome.
As her mom said, one must always cut off any potential source of trouble!
It was only after Zac watched the kid speed up and escape that he finally came back to his senses. “Huh? What did you just say?”
Mrs. Stannard: “???”
Cheryl had a good night’s sleep that evening.
When she woke up the next day, the butler drove her to a nearby helicopter base, where she returned to New York for training via helicopter.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
