Raymond suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to take the drink and pour it over his brother’s head. “I’ve never seen someone so determined to mess with their own sibling,” he thought, “This jerk and Elric must be the real brothers here.”But with so many people watching, and the live stream running, Raymond held back. He took the glass, held his breath, and downed it in one go. This time, the drink wasn’t just unpleasant—it had a fiery kick. Quickly, he grabbed the bottle of water on the table and gulped down half of it.Seeing that her two brothers had helped her by taking on the drinks, Olivia felt a wave of relief wash over her. She looked at them with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, Ray and Lex!"Alex, however, felt a bit uneasy under her gaze. He offered an awkward smile and said, "No need to thank me, but remember, you’re still in this with Ray.""If it comes to those five penalty drinks, I’m out," he added, implying that if they were penalized with five more drinks, he wouldn

Raymond hadn’t expected his own words to be thrown back at him by his younger brother. Already in a foul mood, this only added to his frustration. With a grim expression, he asked, "You helped Via earlier—shouldn’t you help me out now too?"Alex smiled pleasantly and replied, "We’re still on our temporary break from being brothers, so I think you’re on your own."Raymond felt an overwhelming urge to drag his brother outside and deal with him once and for all. Looking at the ten glasses on the table, he had no desire to drink them but knew he couldn’t escape it.Seeing his hesitation, Elric spoke up, "Are you really going to drink all ten by yourself? Why not let your sister help out a little?"Elric had originally suggested the drinking bet to target Justin and Olivia. Both of them had treated Lindsay unfairly, especially Olivia, who had taken everything from Lindsay while maintaining an innocent facade. He had also noticed, with growing suspicion, that Olivia often looked at Linds

Elric hadn’t initially expected Alex to actually drink the cocktails he mixed. He had claimed they were ordered under Alex’s table, but Alex could have easily refused, as it was a flimsy excuse. Elric had even planned out what he would do next if they refused to drink.To his surprise, Alex went along with it so willingly, while the ones Elric really wanted to mess with—Justin and Olivia—didn’t drink a single drop. Feeling a bit guilty, Elric decided to take responsibility and drink three glasses himself.Alex was equally surprised that Elric admitted the truth. When he saw the drinks, he had already guessed that it was Elric’s doing, not the bartender’s special creation. The idea of a cocktail costing two hundred dollars was laughable, especially when the most expensive drink here was less than forty dollars. And even if the drinks had been charged to their table, Alex could have refused to pay—no one would have forced them to cover the cost.Alex wasn’t naïve. He went along wit

Meanwhile, Alex returned to his room, took a shower, and watched some TV before timing his next move. He got up and went to knock on the door of the room next to his.Raymond was lying in bed, his throat feeling increasingly sore. Hearing the knock, he assumed it was Olivia bringing him the hangover medicine. But when he opened the door and saw his brother standing there, he hesitated for a moment.Alex raised an eyebrow. "What, were you expecting Via?"Raymond didn’t deny it. "What do you want?"Alex held up the bag in his hand and waved it in front of him. "I brought you some medicine."Feeling surprised, Raymond said, "Come in."After closing the door, Raymond turned to see Alex sitting in a chair, giving him a strange look."What’s with that look?" Raymond asked.Alex replied, "Just thinking about how you’ve been played for a fool."Hearing this, Raymond’s face darkened. "If you’ve come here to insult me, you can leave. Why do you have to act like Elric and Justin?"Alex couldn’t

Olivia glanced at Raymond. After how badly he’d been humiliated by Lindsay and her group yesterday, she figured he wouldn’t just let it go.Raymond was busy eating when he noticed Olivia staring at him. He said, "My throat's sore, and I’ve lost my voice. I won’t be able to sing today. Maybe we should just take it easy and find a restaurant where I can play the piano or violin instead."He really didn’t want to do anything too strenuous. Playing music wouldn’t require him to talk much, which was a relief.Olivia felt a wave of frustration. Raymond was equally hopeless.Not only was he not thinking about getting back at them, but he was also suggesting they just slack off. She turned to Justin and Alex. "What about you two? Shouldn’t we try a different way to make money?"She was tired of playing music. What she really wanted was to do something that would make her stand out, win back the audience’s favor, and restore her lost luck. The recent decline in her fortune, along with so
