Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

219 This is why...

Since the basketball game was the highlight of today's event, many left and went home since there was nothing else to do in the school. As for the basketball team, Charles and the coach took them to a nice restaurant to celebrate this win.

With them were not just the basketball team, but also some of Penny's friends. Although Penny was unsure why James was dragged into this because he ended up tagging along.

When they arrived at the restaurant, there was already a banner prepared for the basketball team. Following Charles inside, everyone was all smiles until they saw the banner the staff were holding. [It's okay, guys! You did your best, and that's the most important! I'm still proud of all of you!

- Coach Charles Bennet]

Charles's face froze as soon as he saw the smiling faces of the staff. The staff then spoke in unison, trying to cheer up the basketball team.

Atlas frowned. "What did they mean by that?"

"Dad, what's this?" Hugo cast his father a look, confused.

All of them then set their eyes on Charles, who faced them with an awkward smile.

“It's probably a mistake!" he said and rushed to the staff, telling them the team actually won.

Much to everyone's surprise, the staff quickly tore down the banner they were holding, revealing another banner behind it.

[Congratulations, Team! You are the best! I've never doubted you! I knew you could do it!

- Coach Charles Bennet]
