No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 581

The stands erupted in screams, a mix of fright and thrill in the air.

This scene caught me off guard. As I stood there shocked, suddenly the ball was caught, and the catcher let out an excited scream, "Number five, number five, number five is mine!"

The ecstatic fan kissed the ball and even stood on the seats, hugging it close.

The excitement from that person was palpable, but the rest of the crowd was seething with anger.

"Refund!"

"Refund!"

They were all here for Jefferson Daniels, and his mistake was something they couldn't stomach.

Another reason for their anger was the bets they'd placed. Two-thirds of the audience had gambled on this game, confident in Jefferson's victory. But with that ball flying off, it signified his defeat, and their bets washed down the drain. After my initial shock, I calmed down, realizing Jefferson doesn't make mistakes like that unless... it was intentional.

It seemed he knew he'd become a pawn in a bigger game and was protesting in his own way, even if it meant I was used as leverage by Henrik.
