Chapter 10

Auteur: Mermaiden
I did not need to look to know it was Ivy.

Whenever someone questioned me, she was always the first to stand by my side and speak up for me. My eyes stung slightly, a trace of emotion surfacing in my chest.

As expected, the comments under IA’s official account were filled with insults and mockery. They cursed IA for being a small-time operation, unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Rowan.

They also mocked me for having fallen so low that I had to team up with rookies, saying I de

    I did not need to look to know it was Ivy.Whenever someone questioned me, she was always the first to stand by my side and speak up for me. My eyes stung slightly, a trace of emotion surfacing in my chest.As expected, the comments under IA’s official account were filled with insults and mockery. They cursed IA for being a small-time operation, unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Rowan.They also mocked me for having fallen so low that I had to team up with rookies, saying I deserved it for recklessly trying to compete with Rowan.Some even sneered that I was someone deluding himself into thinking he had a chance.Beyond everyone's expectations, at the moment when public opinion was most unfavorable to us, Nina would suddenly start a livestream.In the stream, she clarified her relationship with Rowan.

    In the video, I was bringing Nina flowers and meals, wiping sweat from her face, and handing her clothes.Alas, Nina never once looked at me. Her attention was always on Rowan.The scene shifted. It showed me begging Nina to stay, while she abandoned me without hesitation.Back when we were together, I had not felt it so clearly. Now, watching it from a bystander’s perspective, I really did look like Nina’s lapdog.Ivy looked at me with concern. "They must feel threatened by you. That's why they are using such underhanded tactics. Don't read those comments. You don't want them affecting the match."I nodded.After preparing for so long, of course, I was not going to let this kind of negative noise shake me.However, before I could make any move, Nina came looking for me herself."Ash, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had done so much for me." She cried as she grabbed my sleeve. "I was the one who wronged you before. I didn't pay attention to boundaries with male friends."I gave R

    I opened my eyes in surprise and looked at Nina’s face, her eyes red from crying."Why are you crying? Is this not what you wanted to see?"In an instant, Nina cried even harder.Rowan flew into a rage and rushed forward, reaching out as if to grab me. "Ash, are you even a man? How dare you bully Nina like this!"Nina shoved him away, her voice trembling through tears. "I don't need you to interfere. Don't touch him. He's seriously injured."Rowan was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. "Nina, he already cheated on you. Why are you still protecting him? Why are you being this pathetic? You should kick him to the curb right now!""Shut up!" Nina suddenly raised her voice and shouted. "What happens between Ash and me is none of your business. Get out!"She pushed Rowan toward the door and forced him outside.I was even more shocked. She had actually fallen out with Rowan for my sake. That had never happened before.After driving Rowan away, Nina sat down by my bed an

    I looked at Ivy in front of me in surprise, her eyes practically sparkling.I smiled helplessly. "Don't joke around. My hand is already ruined. What team could I possibly join?"It's true!" She got so anxious that she yanked down her mask, revealing a delicate, strikingly pretty face. "Look. This is a team I just put together. We are missing exactly one jungler. Ash, I've been your fan for a long time. Please, just take a look at us. Our team really needs you."She pulled out her phone and showed me everything, including her studio and her team.Immortal Ashes (IA), wholly funded by Ivy Calder.I stared at her in shock. "You actually built a team?"That name sounded oddly familiar. Was she not the daughter of the real estate tycoon behind the Calder Group?"Is your father Gordon Calder?" I asked.Ivy scratched her head shyly and smiled. "That would be my dad.""Then why would a perfectly good heiress run around building teams and pretending to be a nurse? What are you trying t

    She glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, then swiped to answer the call anyway."Nina, where are you?" Rowan’s voice came through the line."My hand hurts so badly. Could it be a lingering effect from when I fell during the accident? Will I still be able to compete in matches? Nina, can you come stay with me for a bit? I'm scared I might never be able to play again..."It was just a fall, yet he spoke as if he were on the brink of death.Anyone who did not know better would think he was the one who had been hit by the car.Still, anxiety immediately surfaced on Nina’s face. She did not agree right away. Instead, she looked at me, torn.I thoughtfully gave her an out. "Go ahead. I will be fine on my own."Nina visibly relaxed. She hung up the phone and looked at me apologetically. "I'm sorry. I want to stay with you, too. But Rowan’s emotions are really unstable right now. He injured his hand that day, and he has been in a terrible mood ever since. I am worried something might
