The parents were outraged to the point of speechlessness.
"I won! I won!” Jayden ran toward Sydney, still panting, but there was unconcealed excitement and joy in his tone. "I slammed that ball in! Did you see it? Did you take a picture?"
"I didn't see it." Sydney pointed behind her. "I was playing cards while you were playing basketball."
The smile on Jayden's face froze.
Damn it!
He thought that Sydney was watching him outside the court, so he was fully immersed in the game because he was afraid that she would see him make mistakes. However, she had been playing cards with others?"
"Y-You..." Jayden was furious. "How could you not watch me?"
"If you lose, it'll be your brother and you who get humiliated, not me. Why should I watch? Alright, get out of my way. I'll help you sign the contract." Sydney pushed Jayden away and walked toward the coach.
She was courteous when talking to the coach, “Sorry for taking up your time."
Hunter took a photo of Jayden's shocked expression and came over to drape an arm around his shoulder. "I heard that when Sydney was in the Flint family, you bullied her every day. How the tables turn. How does it feel to be bullied by her instead?"
"I'm a man. I won’t bicker with her!” Jayden snorted. Then, he remembered something and asked Hunter with a frown, "I heard that she's very bad at cards and lost a lot of money when she played at Red Plum Villa before. Hunter, did she lose badly against those parents as well?"
"Not really."
"That’s good." Jayden sighed in relief. "She looks the same as always, so I guess she got a good hand this time and won a few rounds."
"She didn’t just have a good hand. She got the best hands possible." Hunter stifled a laugh and showed him the ugly faces of the parents. "Your sister-in-law played against nine of them and won every round. She almost made them go mad with anger."
"Huh?" Jayden’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean 'huh'?" Sydney turned around and rolled her eyes at Jayden. "You don’t want to play basketball anymore? Come over here and sign!"
It was a matter of life and death. Jayden rushed over and signed the contract.
The coach told the students and parents that a car would be sent to pick them up and take them to the tryout base. After a few words of conversation, the coach left with his people.
The parents also led their children and left.
Jayden left the basketball court after Sydney and repeatedly looked through the contract in his hand, feeling a rush of disbelief.
When Sydney did not answer the phone in the afternoon, he also called Lyra and asked her to help him.
However, Lyra just euphemistically said that she was recuperating in the hospital and it was not convenient for her to help. She also said, "Jayden, listen to your brother and don't make him angry."
Just as he was about to despair, Sydney appeared.
Not only did she help him teach those parents a lesson but she also stood firmly on his side. She was not afraid of Julien and only said, "Play well."
Jayden raised his head to look at Sydney in front of him.
The sky was getting dark and the sun had already set, but in his eyes, Sydney seemed to be shrouded in golden light, shining and full of majesty.
It was as if she was his savior!
Jayden stuffed the contract into his school back and quickly went forward to walk side-by-side with
Sydney. "Sister-in-law, you look really good in this outfit. Your figure is also perfect. Even supermodels pale in comparison to you!"
Sydney turned to see the teenager’s eyes full of sincerity and adoration and felt goosebumps all over her body.
She rubbed her arms. "I'm not your sister-in-law anymore. Call me Sis.”
"Sure, Sis." day den changed her form of address very quickly.
Sydney had done him a huge favor. Even if she told him to call her "Ma'am”, he would do so without hesitation.
Right before getting into the car, Jayden was one step faster and opened the door for her. "Please get in, Sis. Watch your head."
