Chapter 361
Who else but his brother could pull off such an outrageous act!
But then again, his brother wouldn’t really make such a request, would he?
After all, he’s his brother’s smart, cute, and sensible little brother!
Matthew stared at his computer, sensing a profound meaning behind his sister–in–law’s question.
But he couldn’t figure out why.
What if he gave a bad answer and left a poor impression on his sister–in–law?
He was his brother’s hardworking, brave, and intelligent sibling; he couldn’t afford to be a burden!
“Captain, are you in an online romance or something? You’re smiling so brightly. Who’re you chatting with?”
“Get lost, it’s nothing like that. I’m chatting with Ms. Lemon, but she threw a weird question at me.”
“What did she ask?”
Matthew repeated Lemira’s question to his team member.
His teammate had an epiphany: “Dude, she’s trying to play you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. How could she possibly be trying to play me!”
“Think about it. Didn’t Ms. Lemon declare war on us in public on the day of the competition? Next year, we’re rivals. She’s trying to figure out what or who could make you drop out of the competition. Isn’t her intention obvious now?”
Matthew thought it over: “You might have a point there.”
He almost falling into a trap!
What if she cooed and cuddled up to his brother, blowing pillow talk in his ear, and next thing, his brother asked him to drop out of the competition?
His brother was totally capable of doing something like that!
No, he couldn’t dig his own grave!
His head could be cut, blood may flow, but losing the competition was not an option!
Matthew looked at Lemira’s message and hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
[Who is it?]
[Are you still there?]
After waiting for a while without a reply from Matthew, Lemira grew anxious.
Was there really someone like that?
She wanted to know who it was!
Eventually, Matthew simply went offline.
He patted his chest, feeling a surge of relief wash.over him, nearly getting caught in the conversation trap.
No, he absolutely couldn’t reveal his weakness!
Not even to his sister–in–law!
The next second, Matthew’s phone buzzed.
He saw Lemira’s message: [Did something come up for you to go offline?]
Matthew immediately felt a headache coming on. He needed to think of how to dodge the question smoothly.
He absolutely couldn’t let her connect it back to his brother!
Lemira waited with her phone for a long while but got no reply from Matthew. Perhaps he was caught up with something urgent.
But after seeing Matthew’s reply, her heart inexplicably sped up.
Was there really someone like that? Who?
Lemira was afraid to know the answer, yet she was also afraid that the answer might disappoint her.
mira documented the entire new recruit training process, advising her senior to follow the procedure to train everyone.
After leaving the base, she headed straight to the gym.

Her mind was in disarray, and she wanted to distract herself with boxing instead of risking seeking Matthew out.
To ask him directly for that answer.
But her rational mind told her not to do it.
What if Matthew wasn’t the one?
What if it was just a coincidence of names?
Upon arriving at the gym, the owner was surprised to see her: “You didn’t book a session in advance today?”
“No, it was a last–minute decision. Is the coach not here?”
“Right, he’s not. I’ll give him a call.”
After all, that coach was exclusively Lemira’s, only coming to the gym when she had pre–booked, not otherwise.
Even the equipment by the boxing ring had been completely replaced with top–brand items, costing more than the gym’s investment Now, he too felt like he was just working a job.
After changing, Lemira went straight to the boxing area.
She put on her boxing gloves and started punching the bag, her mind replaying her life after being kicked out by the Langston family, Who had cut off all her connections.
Whenever she found a job, she would soon be fired.
She even thought about taking jobs in the underworld, but her reputation there was tarnished, and no one would hire her.
