Ashley smiled slightly and deliberately played coy, saying, âGuess.ââ
Joseph was speechless.
He thought to himself, âDonât leave me hanging like this!â
The people who came to this club were all wealthy or famous. Somet recognized Bryce and Ashley as celebrities and only glanced curiously, without crowding around them, despite their recent online fame.
The guns at this shooting range were very realistic, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
With high spirits, Bryce stood at the track. âAshley, let us each take three shots. Whoever scores higher wins.â
Ashley replied, âOkay.â
Bryce didnât dawdle. He picked up the gun next to him and aimed at the target with a very cool and professional posture, obviously
well-practiced.
After aiming, he decisively pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet shot
out.
The shooting range was equipped with electronic scorekeepers. As soon. as the bullet hit its target, the nearby electronic screen quickly displayed the result: [10 points.]
Bryce fired two more shots, and the scorer displayed: [10 points, 10 points.]
So, after three shots, Bryce scored 10 points on each.
Joseph gave a thumbs up. âYouâre damn too good! Every shotâs perfect!â
Bryce didnât know what to say.
He thought to himself, âNice praise, but donât flatter me like that again.
Knowing Josephâs playful and carefree character, Bryce accepted this unconventional compliment with ease.
Bryce looked towards Ashley with a teasing smile. âHow about that?â
Ashley nodded. âVery good.â

She thought to herself, âHis skills are genuinely impressive. Itâs amazing for someone to hit a 10-pointer.
âBut to hit three consecutive 10-pointers is not something an ordinary person can achieve.
Joseph suddenly interrupted, waving his fist, âAshley, I can praise him, but you shouldnât! Donât boost his ego and dampen your spirit. Go on. Beat him!â
Bryce was at a loss for words.
He thought. Why do I feel like Joseph is so biased?â
Joseph was just joking. After all, with Bryce scoring 10 points on every shot, even if Ashley was a good shooter, how could she surpass him?
âAshley, you should justâ¦â
Before Joseph could finish, Ashley raised her gun and fired three shots without even aiming.
The scorer displayed.
[10 points.]
[10 points.]
[10 points.]
Josephâs eyes widened in shock, his face dumbfounded.
He thought to himself. âHoly crap, that was fast!
âI hadnât even finished speaking, and she fired three shots without aiming!
âShe hit 10 points on each shot so quickly!â
âAshley, youâre too fast! I donât even shoot this fast in video games! No exaggeration, you could match a professional sniper!â
Joseph couldnât stop praising her, chattering away.
Bryce was energized, suddenly excited, thinking, âAshleyâs shooting skills. are truly extraordinary!
âWithout aiming to hit consecutive 10-pointers, and so swiftly.
âIt took me at least thirty seconds to make those three shots.

âBut it took Ashley less than a second from shooting to finishing!â
âAshley, youâ¦â

Bryce couldnât finish his sentence, filled with immense admiration for Ashleyâs shooting skills..
But this also meant that he had lost to Ashley in this contest, which was frustrating for him.
Ashley glanced at Bryce, struck by an idea, and raised her pistol again. towards the target.
target.
But this time, the scoreboard showed:
[6.2 points.]
[5.5 points.]
[3.6 points.]
Joseph was momentarily dumbfounded, thinking to himself, âWhatâs going on?â
Bryce was also at a loss.
But the next moment, Bryceâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Surprisingly, the spots where Ashley had hit the target formed the shape
of a star.
Joseph gasped in amazement.
He thought, âHoly cow, how is this even possible?â
âAshley, are you shooting or drawing!â
Joseph was utterly impressed. He had seen and experienced all sorts of things in his life, but this was the first time he had seen someone draw on a shooting target!
She had drawn a star!
He thought, âCould this be any more astonishing?
âHer shooting skills are beyond words!
âItâs something ordinary people just canât do.

âWait, she drew a star on the targets?
âDoesnât Bryce like stars?â
Suddenly, Joseph felt irked, turned around, and blocked Ashleyâs path. âIâm upset now! The kind of upset thatâs not easily soothed! You canât just draw a star for him! I want one, too!â
Ashley asked, âWhat do you want? If your favorite pattern is too complex, it might not be possible to draw it for me.â
Joseph raised an eyebrow, had a suave and charming smile, but said, âMy lucky number is 2. Can you shoot a pattern 2 for me?â
Ashley chuckled inwardly.
She thought, âThis silly guy!â
Ashley raised her pistol with ease and fired several shots at the ad target, perfectly outlining the shape of a number 2.
Joseph was very
Satisfied. âNot bad. Very nice! I like it!â
Ashley was speechless.
In delight at his pattern 2, Joseph couldnât resist snapping a photo with his phone, feeling the urge to show off on Twitter.
After tweeting, he turned around and noticed Bryce still intently staring at the star on the target.
Just as Joseph was about to call out to him, he caught sight of a few people not far away.
Joseph, stunned, looked over with narrowed eyes and chuckled disdainfully.
He thought, âWhat a small world..
To run into disagreeable people even here!
Joseph whispered, nudging Ashley with his elbow, reminding her,
âAshley, look over there. Itâs Matthew, Jeremy, and Jessica.â
Upon hearing this, Ashley looked over with an expressionless face.
Jeremy, spotting Ashley from afar, ran over excitedly.
âAshley! Are you here to have fun too?
Chapter 82
âIâve been calling you every day, but Iâm always on your block list. Ashley, can you stop blocking me? I promise not to bother you!â
Jeremy knew Ashley blocked him but still couldnât help calling her several times a day.
He hoped that maybe Ashley would unblock him someday.
However, every call he made was unsuccessful. Ashley never unblocked
him.
Jeremy was neither discouraged nor disappointed, thinking, âItâs because I was too bad in the past. Iâve hurt Ashley deeply.
âItâs understandable that Ashley doesnât want to forgive me just yet.
Matthew, following behind and seeing Jeremy so submissive to Ashley, was irritated. âJeremy, why are you so subservient before this dam
womanâ¦â
âShut up!â Jeremy interrupted Matthew before Matthew could finis gave him a stern look.
âMatthew, Ashley is my biological sister, my only sister. I wonât allow to speak ill of her! Otherwise, donât blame me for being rude!â
Matthew frowned, âJeremy.â
Jessica, biting her l*p with discontent, thought, Jeremy used to defend met like this, but now, heâs all about protecting that wretch Ashley.
After reprimanding him, Jeremy turned back to Ashley, hastily
explaining, âAshley, I didnât come here to hang out with them. Now, just seeing Jessica annoys me.â
Jessica, who thought she had misheard, bit her l*p even harder.
Without paying any attention to them, Jeremy looked at Ashley, full of care and concern.
âAshley, I came with them just to keep an eye on them, to prevent Matthew and Jessica from plotting against you.â
Matthew was stunned upon being mentioned by Jeremy.
Jessica thought she had misheard.
