Not knowing why, Sophia felt unusually tense to see Nathan up against Ryan and Henry, and she got goosebumps all over.

Michael wasn’t there. It was just her, Justin and Celine who had come to watch the game.

Soon, Sophia’s suspicions were confirmed. When the game started, something felt off.

Although Nathan was five foot seven, he was still small compared to his teammates. Despite that, he was still strong; after all, he was one of the Fletchers. He joined Bayside University’s military training year after year and on top of that, he would also join the Fletcher Family’s military training whenever he had the time. In fact, he was great at basketball and he was granted special admission and successfully got into the university’s team.

As soon as the game started, Nathan caught the ball and the red team was in the lead. Suddenly, one of the team players from the blue team leapt toward Nathan, seemingly trying to grab the ball. However, the six feet tall body slammed right into him.

Bang!

Caught off guard, the impact sent Nathan flying as he kept his hold on the ball.

Right away, the coach blew his whistle and the blue team was then given warning for a foul.

At that moment, poor Nathan laid there for a while before getting up. He did not look good and he was holding his stomach when he stood up. Despite that, he still made a gesture toward his family in the audience, signaling he was alright.

Upon seeing this, Celine was on the verge of bursting into tears as her face contorted. She tugged at Justin and said, “Our son got beaten.”

 

Worried, Justin watched while he comforted her, “Don’t worry; accidents happen.”

On the other hand, Sophia remained silent as her gaze was fixed on the pair of brothers.

 

As a matter of fact, she caught them exchanging looks when Nathan was knocked down.

It almost looked like a smug look.

At that point, Stanley came to watch the game with a few members of the Fletcher Family.

“Sorry we’re late! How’s Nate-Tan doing?”

The past few years, Nathan had been practicing his basketball skills at the Fletcher Residence. It was inevitable that he would become tan like the Fletchers, so Stan affectionately nicknamed him Nate-Tan.

At that moment, Sophia stood up from the crowd and left the audience seating area, going to stand by the court. She wasn’t interfering with the game; she just stood and watched from the sidelines.
