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

Chapter 888: This team... is bound to lose for sure.

If this were a male pageant, it would be a tight competition. Hugo's team would probably be considered the finalists. Most of the basketball players had towering statures, and this team had that. Above all, they also had the faces of those supermodels. Although Atlas was shorter than the rest, he was still above average.

As soon as they stepped onto the court, cheers erupted from the audience.

"Haha!" Hugo laughed, hands on his hips, eyes scanning the crowd. "I didn't realize this reunion was so big until now. It's almost full! It reminds me of the old days."

Atlas, whose expression remained grim, glanced at his second brother before shifting his attention to their bench. "What is Dad doing here?" he mumbled, not caring anymore as he marched toward the bench.

Zoren, also smiling, looked around at the audience and the atmosphere they were creating. "It feels like I'm a gladiator," he commented before following Atlas. freewebnovel.com

"Gladiator?" Dean murmured to himself, his face as bitter and sour as Atlas's because this wasn't what he wanted.

Earlier, Ray had volunteered to be part of the team and even forced Dean to join. Thankfully, Hugo didn't want either of them. Dean thought he was saved. However, no one else wanted to be part of Hugo's team. So, Ray immediately raised Dean's hand again, and for the same reason, Hugo reluctantly accepted Dean onto his team.

Playing basketball wasn't the problem because Dean was physically fit and had some experience. But what made him even more reluctant was the fact that he would be playing with Zoren, who knew nothing about the game! Not to mention, he preferred observing Jonathan so he could figure out what to do with the guy.

Above all, he didn't want to play in this team because of Hugo. The guy acted as if Dean should thank him for accepting him!

"Dean- you can do it~!"

Dean's frown deepened as he lifted his gaze toward the loud shout from the audience. When he saw Ray holding a banner with his name on it, his face twitched.
