She glanced at me nervously, hesitated for a moment, and then finally picked up the phone.

"Luna, where are you right now?"

Hugo's voice came through the other end of the line.

"My hand hurts badly. I think the fall from the accident has caused some lingering issues," he said, his voice full of drama. "Do you think this will affect my ability to compete? Luna, can you come see me? I'm afraid I might not be able to compete anymore…"

It was just a regular injury, but by the way he spoke, you'd think the world was ending. It was as if the car had hit him, not me.

Luna's face instantly filled with worry.

But instead of agreeing right away, she shot me a conflicted look, as if she was torn.

"You should go. I'll be fine on my own," I said, trying to make things easy for her.

Luna seemed to relax a little at my words.

After hanging up, she turned to me, her face full of apology. "Sorry. I really want to stay with you, but Hugo's been in such a bad state ever since he hurt his hand.

    "Yeah, we did it."I smiled as I took the flowers in one hand and wrapped the other around Madison, proudly announcing to the crowd that she was my girlfriend.The entire city lit up with fireworks, and the big screen flashed as I became the top jungler in the country.All of this was Madison's surprise.Fans went wild shipping us as a couple, saying our genuine relationship was sweeter than any scripted drama.Soon, several sponsors came forward with offers, and Bermuda shot to fame overnight.Amidst all the excitement, I caught a glimpse of Luna, her face full of disappointment as she walked away, still holding the roses, her figure growing smaller with each step.While our team basked in glory, Hugo and Greg were quickly forgotten, their reputations in ruins.I had no intention of letting them off easy.I released the audio recording of Greg, who had been quick to turn his back on me after the accident, hoping he'd experience a taste of public backlash.Madison was even bo

    It was obvious—Madison had posted that.Every time someone questioned me, she was always the first to jump to my defense. My heart warmed as a wave of gratitude washed over me.As expected, the official social media account of the Bermuda team was already under fire. The comments were relentless, mocking us as a small, insignificant team desperate for attention. They claimed I had no one to blame but myself for being stuck with rookies, saying I brought it on by daring to compare myself to Hugo.Some even stooped low enough to call me a gold digger, accusing me of using Luna to climb the social ladder.Just as the online arguments reached a fever pitch, Luna unexpectedly went live on her channel.In the livestream, she confessed that she and Hugo were just friends and publicly stated that I was her boyfriend."We've been dating for years," she explained, urging her viewers not to misunderstand.She even apologized to me on air, admitting she'd ignored my feelings and asking for

    In the video, I held a bouquet in one hand and a takeout box in the other, walking toward Luna. I reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then carefully adjusted her clothes. But Luna's gaze seemed to never linger on me. The scene shifted, and on the screen, I was pleading with Luna to stay. Without hesitation, she turned away from me, leaving nothing but her cold, indifferent back.When I was in love, I didn't notice it, but now, from the perspective of an outsider, I looked like nothing more than her loyal servant.Madison looked at me with concern. "They must feel threatened by you; that's why they're resorting to such underhanded tactics. Don't let it mess with your game."I nodded softly, already resolute. After all this preparation, a few rumors couldn't shake me.But before I could fully process it, Luna came to see me in person."Joseph, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much you've done for me," she said, her voice filled with regret. "I've always been the one

    I suddenly opened my eyes, staring at Luna, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying."What are you crying for? Isn't this what you wanted?" I asked, trying to understand.Luna only cried harder.Hugo stormed over, his face twisted in anger, and grabbed me by the collar, shouting, "Joseph, what kind of man are you? How dare you bully Luna!"Luna pushed him away with force. "Don't touch him. He's seriously hurt."Hugo's fury caused the veins on his neck to bulge. "Luna, he's cheated on you, and you're still defending him? Why degrade yourself like this? You should leave him right now!" he spat, his voice full of frustration."Shut up!" Luna shouted, her voice rising sharply. "My issues with Joseph are none of your business. Get out!" she snapped, pushing Hugo out of the room.I was stunned. She actually argued with Hugo because of me.It was the first time I'd ever witnessed something like this.After pushing Hugo out, Luna returned to sit beside me. She spoke gently, her

    I turned in surprise to the nurse, whose eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.I couldn't help but let out a small smile, though it was a resigned one. "You're kidding, right?"My hand was ruined. How could I possibly keep competing?"I'm serious!" she insisted eagerly.She quickly pulled down her mask, revealing a fresh and charming face."Look, this is my new team. We're just missing a jungler. Joseph, I've actually been a fan of yours for a long time. Please consider it. We really need you on our team."With that, she pulled out her phone and showed me the details about the team.It was the Bermuda team, with full backing from Madison White herself.I stared at her in disbelief. "You really created a team?"But that name—Madison White—sounded so familiar. Wasn't that the name of the daughter of the real estate tycoon who ran White Properties?"Is your father Jerome White?" I asked, still processing.Madison blushed, nodding shyly. "Yes, that's my father.""T
