Chapter 1152
This time around, Cornelia adjusted her breath and hit the bullseye right on the dot. Brian still hit above where
Cornelia had hit.
After a few rounds, they were neck and neck and into the final round. They both seemed chill, but the three
spectators felt the tension and held their
breaths
Wyatt said, “How come Cornelia’s so bossy? If she backed off a bit, wouldn’t Brian let her win?”
Alexa said, “Cornelia’s so bossy, wouldn’t she have a fit if she lost?”
Emily said, “Should we have really helped Brian test Nelly?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexa gave Emily’s ear a twist, “Now you realize we shouldn’t have? It’s too late!”
Emily said, “I just thought it would be fun.”
While they were chit-chatting, the game was over. In the last round, Cornelia hit the bullseye again, while Brian’s
bullet veered off the target and hit the one
next to it.
He was stunned, then roared, “Cornelia, are you playing dirty?”
Cornelia shrugged and smirked, “Who said there’s a rule against playing dirty?”
Brian said, “There isn’t, but it’s not cool to play dirty in a competition. This round doesn’t count. Let’s do it again.”
Cornelia took off her helmet, turned to the three in the stands, “Is Brian a sore loser? Lost is lost, why do you want
a rematch?”
The three guys said nothing.
Brian said, “Cornelia, you!” He was so mad he couldn’t finish his sentence.
Cornelia said, “Brian’s lost for words, anyone want to speak for him?”
Emily stood up and said, “There’s no rule against playing dirty, so Cornelia won. Brian, as a man, you should accept
the outcome and not be a bad sport. How would people look at you?”
Brian remained silent. His eyes were fixed on Cornelia, but there was nothing he could do.
Alexa burst into laughter, “Ha-ha, Cornelia is really something. She’s not one to be messed with, a true member of
the Durans.”
Wyatt asked, “Brian, what trick did Cornelia pull?”
Brian said, “Let her tell you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia waved a small mirror, “Playing dirty requires brains, okay? Could an average Joe come up with a smart
move like mine?”
Everybody understood. Cornelia had used the mirror to blind Brian momentarily, which caused his shot to go off.
Alexa said, “Sounds about right.”
Brian said, “What’s right about it? This round doesn’t count, let’s do it again.”
Cornelia asked, “Can’t you take a loss?”
Brian answered, “Who said I can’t?”
Cornelia said, “If you can’t, it’s alright, I’ll just mock you every time I see you.”
Brian answered, “Don’t even think about it.”
Cornelia said, “Oh, then apologize to me.”
Everyone was watching, and Brian did lose. Besides, there were no rules against unfair moves before the game.
