Chapter 191

Who else but his older brother could pull off something so freaking unbelievable? But then again, his brother probably wouldn’t even “ask” for something like that. He was his brother’s smart, adorable, and sensible little brother, after all!

John Wilson stared at his computer screen, convinced his sister–in–law’s question held a deeper meaning. But he couldn’t figure it out. What if he answered wrong and left a bad impression? He was his brother’s hardworking, brave, and brilliant younger brother he absolutely couldn’t screw this up!

“Captain, are you online dating? You’re grinning like a Cheshire cat. Who are you chatting with?” one of his teammates asked.

“Get outta here! What online dating? I’m talking to Lemon Sister, but she asked me a weird question.”

“What question?”

John Wilson recounted Alice’s question. His teammate’s jaw dropped.“Whoa, she’s trying to set you up!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! She’d never try to set me up!”

“Captain, think about it. Didn’t Lemon Sister openly declare war on us at the competition, saying we’d be rivals next year? She’s fishing for info on what could make you quit the competition. The intentions are pretty clear, aren’t they?”

John Wilson pondered this.“You make a good point.” Damn his thick sister–in–law filter; he almost fell for it! What if his sister–in–law later threw a tantrum to his brother, whispering swee nothings in his ear, and then his brother made him quit the competition? His brother was totally capable of that!

No

way, he couldn’t dig his own grave! His head could roll, blood could spill, but the competition couldn’t be lost!

John Wilson stared at Alice’s message, hesitating.

“Who is it?” the message read.

“Are you still online?”

Alice waited, growing anxious. Was there really someone like that? She “needed” to know! Then John Wilson went offline.

He patted his chest, a wave of fear washing over him. He’d almost been tricked! No way, he couldn’t reveal his weaknesses! Not even to his sister–in–law!

A second later, his phone buzzed. It was Alice:“Did something come up?” A headache pounded in John Wilson’s temples. He had to figure out an answer, a way to deflect. He absolutely couldn’t let his sister–in–law connect it to his brother!
