Chapter 74 Cunning Tricks

The referee blew his whistle, and the basketball game officially began.

Because it was Srolanya High School's home court, all the cheering and support came from its students, making the students from Roblia High School isolated.

However, the opposing team, even with only six reserve players, seemed unfazed and played aggressively. What was supposed to be an easy victory turned into a close game.

Charlotte was engrossed in watching when suddenly a soda can flew towards her. She was startled, but luckily someone caught the can just as it was about to hit her forehead. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

Nicholas threw the can to the ground and spoke coldly, "It was unopened."

Charlotte was taken aback.

If the unopened soda can had hit her head...it would have caused severe injury.

She looked in the direction of the can and saw a heavily made-up girl with a seemingly innocent face. The girl was a bit far away and the court was noisy, so she mouthed, "Sorry, I threw it to the wrong person."

But there was clearly malice flickering in her eyes behind the colored contacts.

Nicholas's face turned cold, and he was about to stand up. However, Cecilia acted even faster. She pulled Charlotte up and walked towards the girl with a cold expression.

The arrogant girl's face changed when she saw Cecilia approaching.

"I remember you," Cecilia grabbed the girl by her collar and lifted her off her seat, "You're Daphne Archer, right?"

Daphne quickly put on a subservient smile, "Cecilia, you remember me."

"Of course, I remember," Cecilia narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you the one who used a megaphone to confess your love to Andrew in our classroom, only to be thrown out by Reagan?"

Daphne's face turned ugly. She said, "Cecilia, I..."

"I don't want to hear your explanations," Cecilia looked at her with some disgust, "I don't care what you think of Andrew, but Charlotte is my friend. You better remember that, if something like this happens again..." A cold indifference appeared on Cecilia's beautiful face. She continued, "I promise you that you won't be able to stay in Srolanya High School anymore."

Daphne's lips trembled, "I... I really didn't mean to hurt her."

"Not mean to?" Cecilia raised an eyebrow.

Daphne immediately trembled and said, "Sorry, Cecilia, I won't do it again! I know I was wrong!"

If she had known Cecilia would stand up for Charlotte, she wouldn't have acted impulsively because of Andrew's favoritism towards Charlotte!

"Why apologize to me?" Cecilia said calmly.

Daphne glanced at the confused Charlotte and bit her lip, which was coated in bright red lipstick. Reluctantly, she said, "I'm sorry and I won't do it again."

Charlotte said, "Hmm, it's good to admit your mistakes and make a change. It will make your parents proud."

Daphne was angry.

She thought, "Making my parents proud? Who does she think she is?"

But Daphne didn't dare to say more. Even if she broke her teeth, she would have to swallow the blood.

Cecilia didn't want to look at Daphne anymore and raised an eyebrow at Charlotte, "What kind of expression do you mean?"

Charlotte looked at her admirably, "Cecilia, you were so cool just now!"

If only she could be as cool as Cecilia!

Cecilia's face turned strangely red. She coughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just a pushover who endures bullying without doing anything! You can't be like this!"

Charlotte said, "But you helped me."

Cecilia was frustrated, "Can I help you every time?"

Charlotte said, "Cecilia is really fierce."

The two returned to their seats and continued watching the game.

Although the scores were close, the school's basketball team's strength was evident, and they were leading by two points. Andrew's dribbling skills were extraordinary. He was just about to attempt a slam dunk when an unexpected incident occurred-

A team member from Roblia High School unexpectedly collided straight with him!

Andrew was in the process of jumping, unable to maintain balance at all. He was suddenly knocked down to the ground. His sports shorts revealed his bare legs, which were immediately scraped and bleeding on the floor.

The player from Roblia High School also fell just as hard as Andrew.

All of this happened right in front of Charlotte's eyes, causing her pupils to contract slightly.

Everyone screamed in shock.

The referee quickly called a timeout, and Andrew was helped up by his teammates. Anthony's face looked grim as he asked, "Captain, are you..."

Andrew shook his head, "It is possibly a fracture."

With such a strong impact, a fracture was almost certain.

The team member from Roblia High School, paying no attention to his own injuries, smiled and said, "Sorry, bro, I had a muscle cramp and couldn't stop in time."

Even though Andrew had a good temper, his expression turned angry.

This person clearly did it on purpose. Such despicable methods were not uncommon on the basketball court, but they were rarely seen in regulated matches. It was unexpected that the team from Roblia High School would do such a bad thing to hurt Andrew, the key player!

Moreover, these people were clever. By using a tactic that caused both parties to get injured, it was difficult to say that they were on purpose.

Because of this, the referee didn't say much and frowned as he looked at Andrew's wound, "Go to the medical room and have a look. Let the substitute play."

Given Andrew's current condition, it was definitely impossible for him to continue playing. However, he didn't want to go to the medical room either. After all, this game was crucial for the reputation of Srolanya High School, and the substitute for the school basketball team was a newcomer who had just been recruited. He hadn't had enough time to gel with the team, so it would be difficult for them to play well.

"Damn it," A teammate supported Andrew and couldn't help but curse, "These trash from Roblia High School, how did their basketball skills improve so much?! If it was before, we wouldn't even have to play the second half to win!"

"They really resorted to such despicable tactics!" Another person said, "How dare they? Did they hire special trainers?"

Team members of the Roblia High School all laughed, and their captain shouted, "Sorry, Mr. Clark, for getting you injured. I'll take care of the medical expenses!"

"Vincent Diego, shut the hell up!" A hot-tempered teammate angrily shouted, "Do you need to pretend to be sympathetic? You guys are really disgusting!"

Vincent innocently shrugged, "We already said it was an accident, so why are you thinking so much? Our players also get injured, you know?"

Srolanya High School and Roblia High School had played against each other a few times before, so they were familiar with the opposing team's strength. The team of Srolanya High School was puzzled from the beginning because Roblia High School's previous main player, who had a good skill level, was put on the bench, and an unfamiliar face was sent on. Now they finally realized the sinister intention behind all this. They clearly planned to replace Andrew with a worthless player from the start!
