Chapter 631 The Scapegoat, Kevin

Troy's career in the entertainment industry was flourishing, so it seemed impractical for him to abruptly leave and enlist in the military. Moreover, he was still young and had the opportunity to establish his own company in the coming years.

I asked Amy, "What does Troy think about this?"

"He said that every generation in his family has someone enlisting in the military. It's a tradition for them, and he decided to comply with the arrangement and join the army."

"What about you then?" I asked.

Amy carefreely replied, "What can I do? Of course, I'll support him! Besides, it's not like we won't be able to see each other anymore. I can go to his city and visit him during his holidays. It's just that my journey in the entertainment industry will lose its meaning. However, he advised me to finish filming this movie. He also decided to participate in it as his final farewell to the entertainment industry. I know he's doing it for me."

Amy was such a loser, dying over and over again in the game. I escaped and said, "He's using his fame to pave the way for you."

Amy replied, "Yes, since you've paved the way for me, I can't just leave halfway. Besides, there's nothing bad with him being in the army for the next few years. After all, we're still young and can endure the separation. I can also take care of my family business during this period."

I smiled and said, "You've thought it through quite well."

It wasn't until much later that I learned about Troy's family background. The Robles Family was a traditional military family with glorious ancestry. Enlisting in the military was their tradition, and they took pride in it.

After one game, I lost interest. Amy's incompetence had dampened my enthusiasm completely.

Well, I wasn't any better either.

Amy wanted to continue playing, so I had no choice but to play two more rounds with her. Finally, when I was freed, Emma sent a message in the group chat. 'Renee, I'm in so much pain. Please save me!'

Amy replied, 'What happened?'

'I've already done 80 squats, 60 burpees, and even did a squat for 10 minutes. Now, I'm running around the company. Shawn said I have to complete 30,000 steps. I'm dying!'

I was speechless.

Shawn went to the company and dealt with Emma in the meantime.

Seeing Emma in such agony, I quickly called Shawn. He answered the phone in a gentle voice and asked, "Do you want to plead on Emma's behalf?"

"Yes, there's no need to punish her for her actions in the group chat," I said.

"She was about to go off work early without my knowledge. Emma, Kevin, Diego, and Ian have very flexible working hours. I have never imposed any restrictions on them before. However, we are currently in a special period, and I have issued strict orders. No one is exempted from following the rules until the task is completed. She and Kevin have violated the rules. I am just giving a minor punishment to serve as a warning."

Shawn had his way of doing things.

I asked out of curiosity, "Why didn't you punish Kevin?"

"I didn't catch him on the spot."
