Chapter 1152
This time around, Cornelia adjusted her breath and hit the bullseye right on the dot. Brian still hit above where Cornelia had hit.
After a few rounds, they were neck and neck and into the final round. They both seemed chill, but the three spectators felt the tension and held their
breaths
Wyatt said, âHow come Corneliaâs so bossy? If she backed off a bit, wouldnât Brian let her win?â
Alexa said, âCorneliaâs so bossy, wouldnât she have a fit if she lost?â
Emily said, âShould we have really helped Brian test Nelly?â
Alexa gave Emilyâs ear a twist, âNow you realize we shouldnât have? Itâs too late!â
Emily said, âI just thought it would be fun.â
While they were chitâchatting, the game was over. In the last round, Cornelia hit the bullseye again, while Brianâs bullet veered off the target and hit the one
next to it.
He was stunned, then roared, âCornelia, are you playing dirty?â
Cornelia shrugged and smirked, âWho said thereâs a rule against playing dirty?â
Brian said, âThere isnât, but itâs not cool to play dirty in a competition. This round doesnât count. Letâs do it again.â
Cornelia took off her helmet, turned to the three in the stands, âIs Brian a sore loser? Lost is lost, why do you want a rematch?â
The three guys said nothing.
Brian said, âCornelia, you!â He was so mad he couldnât finish his sentence.
Cornelia said, âBrianâs lost for words, anyone want to speak for him?â
Emily stood up and said, âThereâs no rule against playing dirty, so Cornelia won. Brian, as a man, you should accept the outcome and not be a bad sport. How would people look at you?â
Brian remained silent. His eyes were fixed on Cornelia, but there was nothing he could do.
Alexa burst into laughter, âHaâha, Cornelia is really something. Sheâs not one to be messed with, a true member of the Durans.â
Wyatt asked, âBrian, what trick did Cornelia pull?â
Brian said, âLet her tell you.â
Cornelia waved a small mirror, âPlaying dirty requires brains, okay? Could an average Joe come up with a smart move like mine?â
Everybody understood. Cornelia had used the mirror to blind Brian momentarily, which caused his shot to go off.
Alexa said, âSounds about right.â
Brian said, âWhatâs right about it? This round doesnât count, letâs do it again.â
Cornelia asked, âCanât you take a loss?â
Brian answered, âWho said I canât?â
Cornelia said, âIf you canât, itâs alright, Iâll just mock you every time I see you.â
Brian answered, âDonât even think about it.â
Cornelia said, âOh, then apologize to me.â
Everyone was watching, and Brian did lose. Besides, there were no rules against unfair moves before the game.
