Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Who Did He Offend?

Luca was puzzled by Aaron’s involvement. Were they truly brothers? Why did he have a feeling that

even the youngest, Aaron, had ill intentions towards him? “There’s no need for this. After all, I am older

and have some tolerance.”

None of these three were decent individuals. If they insisted on him betting, then he would have to do

the opposite.

Just as he finished speaking, Simone spoke up. “You may have such tolerance, but we aren’t going to

just go along with it. If Harry cheated, I won’t cover for him, and he should face the appropriate

consequences. Of course, if my artist is the one being bullied, then those who accuse and slander him

should apologize.” She turned to Luca with a smile that wasn’t genuine. “What do you think, Luca? Or

are you having second thoughts?”

Aaron encouraged from the side, “Luca, what are you afraid of? Let’s bet with them. Earlier, Luca gave

me a look of disdain when I agreed to bet. Now, I’ll let him experience what it means to have no choice

and be forced to know that it’s a trap, but you still have to jump in.”

Zac rarely found Aaron so agreeable. That’s right, Luca. Don’t be afraid of them. If you’re a man, then

bet. What’s five glasses of cocktail? You can finish them in five sips.”

Speechless, Luca thought, “Aren’t these two supposed to dislike and hate each other? When did they

start to stand on the same side? Who did I offend?” Gritting his teeth, he hissed, “Fine, I’ll bet.”

What else could he do? If he didn’t bet, it would seem like he was afraid. On the other hand, he firmly

believed that Harry, who had always been suppressed by him, couldn’t be that talented. Therefore, he

had nothing to be afraid of! Looking at Simone and Zac, he said, “But I have a condition.”

Although Simone already guessed what he was going to say, she still asked, “What is it?”

“If Harry can’t do it, it proves that he’s not that talented. Then, both you and Zac will have to drink five

glasses as well.” Since Simone insisted on supporting Harry and going against him, they should all face

the consequences together, and Zac was no exception.

Without hesitation, Simone and Zac said in unison. “Deal!”

Zac glanced at the three next to Luca. With a smile, he asked, “If you lose, will your team also take the

punishment with you?”

Leon wasn’t fooled. “I just chose Harry earlier, so I won’t be the scapegoat this time.”

Luca had a lot of opinions about Leon; this guy was betraying him. What did he mean by being the

scapegoat? Did that mean he would lose? He chuckled, “Then, it won’t count as

1/4

Leon’s loss.”

Aaron raised his hand and said, “I’m quitting this round. He didn’t want to drink five more glasses of this

kind of cocktail.

However, Luca objected, “No, we’re brothers and have to do it together.”

Aaron played rogue and declared, “Then, let’s temporarily cut off our relationship.” This time, he was

determined not to fall into the trap. He had dug the hole himself, and jumping in would just make him

look foolish.

Luca seethed silently, “I don’t want a brother like this.” With a dark face, he growled, “Get lost!”

‘What a fake sibling affection!”

“From this, you can see how unpopular Luca is.

“Even the famous actor, Leon, and his own brother are not on his side. What a pitiful loser.

Just now, I thought Aaron was indignant for his brother, but it turns out that he wanted to push him into

the pit instead.

It’s so satisfying to see Luca being stabbed in the back by his brother!

“What a perfect stab! Aaron did a great job!”

Haha, I suddenly don’t dislike Aaron as much right now.

I’m a bit curious. How will Jojo choose?”

I’m curious too.

Everyone looked at Jodie on the live screen with curiosity.

At that moment, Jodie’s heart was overwhelmed. She hadn’t even finished the three drinks in front of

her and her third brother had agreed to five more drinks. How could he be so foolish? She was

supposed to be the obedient and considerate little sister, and if she didn’t stand on Luca’s side, she

would be criticized.

But seeing that no one was on Luca’s side, she felt that she had to bear his burden. So, she found

herself in a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to play dumb. As long as she didn’t speak, no matter who

won, she wouldn’t have to drink.

Little did she know that Luca desperately needed someone’s approval at the moment. He

2/4

looked at her and asked, “Jo, you’re on my side, right?”

Speechless, she really wanted to say, “Get lost.” Acting embarrassed, she pointed to the three glasses

of alcohol on the table. “Luca, I haven’t even finished these yet.”

Luca looked at the three large glasses on the table and said to Aaron. “Jo is your sister and can’t drink

so much. Help her to finish them.”

Aaron was speechless. “She’s your sister, too. Why don’t you drink them?” Luca is really shameless.

Why should I be the one to finish them all? Being a brother doesn’t mean being taken advantage of like

this.

Luca frowned. “You’re acting strange today!” If this happened before, he wouldn’t have needed to say

anything, and Aaron would have taken care of Jo, helping her to finish the drinks without hesitation.

Aaron knew exactly what his brother meant. If this happened before, he would have done it willingly,

but ever since the last episode when he got diarrhea for Jodie, he realized that she only showed

concern with her words and did nothing in action.

He couldn’t help but think of Simone, who would take action to care for him when his stomach hurt.

What he couldn’t accept was that Jodie had previously told him that her relationship with Leon was just

a normal friendship. Despite that, after the photos and videos were revealed, it proved that their

relationship was not simple, and because of this, Simone broke up with her childhood sweetheart.

Not only did Jodie lie to him, but she also intervened in his sister’s relationship, which left at thorn in his

heart.

In addition, before coming on the variety show this time, Titus had mentioned that Jodie was scheming

and playing with them, not as innocent and obedient as she seemed. This reminded him of many past

incidents, and he realized that she did have many ulterior motives.

Therefore, during this episode of the variety show, when it was his turn to take care of his adopted

sister, he didn’t act as selflessly as he had in the past.

Of course, after all these years of love, he hadn’t actually intended for Jodie to drink all of it. His original

plan was to share two glasses with her. Extending his hand, he grabbed a glass and stated. “I’ll drink

this one for her.”

With bated breath, he downed it in one gulp. Then, he glanced at Luca and remarked. “Luca, you

usually spoil Jo the most, so the remaining two glasses are yours.”

Initially, it was meant to be one glass each, but since Luca insisted on taking the initiative, he

could have the extra cup.

In addition to the five glasses later and Jo’s five glasses, Luca will probably vomit later, but I won’t

sympathize with him, Aaron decided.

Although Luca was displeased with his brother’s distribution, he picked up a glass when he noticed

Jodie’s dependent and aggrieved gaze. “Alright, I’ll drink these two glasses for Jo.”

He finished them in one gulp and scowled, almost unable to suppress the urge to vomit. What kind of

cocktail is this? Why is it so challenging and repulsive to drink?

Before he could recover from the disgust, Aaron grabbed another glass and handed it to him, saying,

“Bro, you’re a true man. Keep going.”

Luca was speechless; even his brother had been influenced by Zac.
