Chapter: 168
During the video call, Cheryl still kept a sweet smile on the surface. But it was obvious that she was acting Like she was superior.
Then, she Looked towards Maria, who was standing not too far away from the screen.
“Tickets for the game? Yes, I still have some with me." Acting too proud, Cheryl opened her handbag and took out about seven tickets for the exhibition game.
She waved them, fanning herself with these precious tickets. Seeing this, the crowd became envious. Each one of them was dying to get one.
But then Cheryl pretended to be quite embarrassed. "But I'm afraid these are prepared for important people. We're still waiting for the main force of the other E-sports teams. Then, there are the sponsors, and the network influencers of the Live stream platforms. We're saving these for them."
Ih, okay. I see." With a sly smile, Vivian also chimed in and said, "We really have no choice. A single ticket for the exhibition game is so valuable. We don't have the freedom to just casually give them away to ordinary people.”
Understanding what Vivian was trying to imply, Maria had the urge to laugh, but she tried to remain calm.
Wanting to get more reaction from Maria, Cheryl tried to add more fuel to fire. "Maria, I know we're family. But please understand the position we're in. You grew up in the countryside, so it's either you have never played Wasteland before, or you just recently heard of it. I'm not sure if you even fully understand the essence of the game. Don't make me waste my ticket on you.”
With a sharp tongue, Cheryl deliberately mentioned Maria's upbringing in front of everyone with the sole purpose of embarrassing her in public.
Wasteland was such a very popular game, especially for the younger generation. If a teenager didn't know what it was or hadn't played it yet, he or she would be seen as ignorant and a fuddy—duddy.
While Maria could easily dismiss everything that was said against her, Jenny, on the other hand, couldn't stand it anymore.
“Enough! You don't know what you're talking about. Maria used to play Wasteland. More importantly, she doesn't need your ordinary tickets! You can keep them all to yourselves, because Maria has many-"
“Jenny... Just forget it."
Maria quickly interrupted Jenny. She didn't want to waste her time with people Like Vivian and Cheryl. It wasn't worth it.
"What is it? She has many what? Why don't you finish your sentence?” Vivian scoffed coldly. Although Jenny was interrupted, she could somehow guess what she might have said.
“Humph! Are you going to tell me that Maria has tickets for the game?"
“Oh, you bet!" Jenny was so angry that her face turned red. She just couldn't fathom how Maria could remain silent after what they said to her. "In fact, she has dozens of VIP tickets given to her by Darren in person!"
Hearing this, there were loud gasps from the crowd, and the people burst into an uproar.
Not having a reason to lie, Maria nodded. "Well, it's true." Both Vivian and Cheryl were stunned for a few seconds. After Looking at each other, they Laughed out loud.
"VIP tickets? Personally given by Darren? Ha-ha! I think that's the funniest and dumbest joke I've ever heard!"
