Chapter 84
Bryce contemplated, âI know Matthewâs shooting skills. Iâve seen him showcase it in a variety show before, and heâs pretty good. He even gained a lot of fans because of this. But compared to him, Ashleyâs shooting skills are on another level. Like just now, Ashley shot a star shape and a â2â on the target. Her ability has reached the level where she can hit exactly where she wants. Even if Matthew practices for another fifty years, he wonât be able to catch up to her. So, in a shooting competition between these two, Ashley would definitely win. But then, can she really return to the Ramos Villa after winning the bet?â
Bryce glanced at Ashleyâs expression, noticing her frowning and obviously displeased look. He stepped forward and said, âNo, this bet is too unfair for Ashley.â
Joseph rolled his eyes dramatically. âWho would want to even bet on such a thing!â
Jessica was initially upset about how Matthew had softened toward Ashley, even agreeing to let Ashley return to the Ramos family and promising never to hit or scold her again.
However, upon hearing Bryce and Josephâs words, Jessicaâs first thought was that Ashley was scared.
Jessica mused, âWell, yes, Matthew is an excellent shooter. How could Ashley possibly beat him? The idea of winning the match and returning to the Ramos Villa is nothing but her pipe dream!â
Jessica thought about it and then looked at Ashley with a gentle and amiable gaze.
Jessica said, âAshley, remember when we all went to the shooting range for Matthewâs birthday? You scored higher than me back then. Your shooting skills are definitely great, so you should just accept Matthewâs
bet.
âI believe you wonât lose to Matthew. Then, you can return to the Ramos Villa, and our family can be reunited again. Iâll get to see you every day,
too.â
To Matthewâs ears, Jessicaâs words sounded understanding and considerate.
However, Jeremyâs eyebrows knotted tightly upon hearing her.

He angrily thought, Jessica, this fake heiress, occupying the Ramos family heiress position and even always putting on a show, is so hypocritical and shameless!â
Jeremy felt like he was about to vomit out last nightâs dinner!
He then quickly glanced at Ashley and thought, âAh, my own sister ist much prettier. Just looking at her makes me feel better.
Naturally. Jeremy hoped Ashley could return to the Ramos Villa, but it had to be Ashleyâs own willing choice, not because she was forced.
He pondered, âBesides, I have seen Matthewâs shooting skills. I knew it would be very, very difficult for Ashley to win against him.
Jeremy frowned, âAshley, donât agree to this bet. Matthew is trying to coerce you.â
âJeremy.â Matthew said coldly, âHavenât you always wanted Ashley return to the Ramos Villa? Iâm giving her that chance now!â
âAshley,â Matthew said, looking at Ashley, and continued, âWhat do say? Do you dare to bet with me?
âIf you win, Iâll agree for you to return to the Ramos Villa, and I will never hit or scold you again!
âBut if I win, you will no longer be my sister, Ashley, and we will never restore our sibling relationship in this lifetime!â
Ashley initially didnât want to entertain such a ridiculous bet, but upon hearing the last part, she raised her eyebrows with interest, saying, âMatthew, remember, these are your words.â
âOf course! Do you dare to bet with me?â Matthew challenged.
âLetâs get started then,â Ashley agreed.
Upon hearing Ashleyâs acceptance, Jeremy became anxious.
He thought, Ashley might lose. What if she does? Well, if she loses, then. sheâll just be my sister alone!â
With an indifferent look, Bryce glanced at Matthew and suddenly grew curious, wondering, âWhat would Matthewâs reaction be if he found out that Ashley is his most respected mentor, Ash?â
Following that, everyone then went to the shooting range.

Chapter 81
Matthew picked up the gun beside him, glanced disdainfully at Ashley, and said, âWeâll get live shots each. Iâll go first.â
After saying this, he aimed at the target ahead, taking a deep breath to steady his mind.
Steadiness is crucial in shooting. One shouldnât be in a hurry.
Matthew relaxed his breathing, eyeing the target for quite a while, and finally pulled the trigger. Then, a loud bang echoed as the bullet shot out.
The electronic screen displayed: [10 points.]
Jessica excitedly jumped up, exclaiming, âMatthew, youâre amazing! Even more accurate than before!â
Matthew smiled smugly, âAshley, itâs yourâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ashley beside him raise her handgun and fired without even glancing at the target.
The electronic screen showed: [0 points!]
Bryce was at a loss for words.
Joseph was speechless as well.
He pondered, âShe really doesnât want to win.
Jeremy frowned deeply, thinking, âAs expected, with Ashleyâs skill level, itâs hard to beat Matthew.
Jessica felt secretly delighted, thinking, âGreat, that wretched Ashley is bound to lose now. Sheâll have to cut ties with Matthew forever! Then all of Matthewâs love will be mine!
But Matthew was suspicious, thinking, Wait, this isnât right. Iâve seen Ashley shoot on my birthday before. She wasnât this bad.â
Narrowing his eyes, Matthew fired andther shot at the target.
But due to being affected by his emotions, he was slightly off.
The score showed: [9.8 points.]
Still, Ashley turned and fired a shot without looking at the target.
The score showed: [0.8 points.]

Then, the match continued.
Matthew scored 9.6 points.
Ashley followed with 0.6 points.
With his next shot, Matthew scored 9.4 points.
Ashley, in her turn, scored 0.4 points.
Joseph and Bryce exchanged a knowing glance, instantly understanding what she was doing.
One of them pondered in astonishment, âDamn, Ashley is only shooting the decimal points of Matthewâs scores! Her shooting skills are so advanced that she can hit any score she wants!â
ugh to
Jeremyâs eyes widened in excitement, thinking, I thought Ashley was not good at shooting, but I never imagined she was already skille the extent where she could fool around like this. Ashley is in being such an underachiever, and as her brother, Iâm really h back!â
At that moment, Matthew realized what was happening and stare disbelief, his hand trembling slightly as he held the gun..
He pondered, âHow could this be⦠Ashley is only shooting the decimal points of my scores! And sheâs even doing it so quickly, so accuratelyâ¦. How Skilled must one be to control the score so adeptly!â
Matthewâs composure was shaken, and his last shot veered off course.
He only scored 5.6 points.
Ashley raised her hand and fired another shot, scoring 0.6 points.
Me
Matthew stared hard at the target for a long while before finally gritting his teeth and turning to Ashley.
âAshley, you did this on purpose! You intentionally lose to me!â He shouted.
Matthew angrily thought, âAshleyâs shooting skills are clearly superior to
mine!â
Ashley indifferently glanced at the gun in her hand and lifted her gaze to look at him. She then smiled mockingly.
