Chapter 93
Evelyn's fingers danced across the screen with practiced ease.
The girl who once couldn't read a map now predicted enemy movements with pinpoint accuracy.
Ethan's gameplay was equally breathtaking.
Theodore watched, stunned, as two novice players dominated the battlefield.
Evelyn's assassin dove past enemy defenses, eliminating targets with surgical precision.
Ethan's warrior took on three opponents at once—emerging victorious with a sliver of health remaining.
Julian's clumsy movements stood in stark contrast.
The Oscar-winning actor was notorious in gaming circles as a walking disaster.
He trembled in the bushes, utterly useless.
After several matches, Theodore's eyes gleamed with excitement.
During the break, he seized Evelyn's wrist. "Eve! Join my esports team!"
"This game's competitive scene is just starting. We need talent like yours—you could win championships!"
His voice shook with enthusiasm.
Her reflexes were extraordinary—almost instinctive. A natural-born gamer.
"Sixth brother, I'm not interested in professional gaming." She gently withdrew her hand.
Theodore immediately turned to Ethan. "What about you?"
Ethan adjusted his cufflinks, lips quirking. "Sullivan Group requires my signature on hundreds of documents daily."
Theodore deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing onto the sofa.
But he bounced back instantly. "Eve! If you change your mind, I get first dibs!"
Nearby, Sebastian and Julian exchanged exasperated glances.
Julian suddenly spoke up. "Eve, I'm filming a variety show next week. Want to join?"
"No thanks, third brother." Her refusal was immediate.
She hated being in the spotlight.
An awkward silence settled over the living room.
Ethan's phone rang. After the call, he excused himself politely.
Victoria immediately sidled up to her daughter. "Eve, what do you think of Ethan?"
Evelyn's fingers stilled.
She remembered how he'd always appeared when she was in danger during the game.
And that time during her claustrophobia attack—his warm embrace.
Then Sophia's smug smile flashed through her mind.
