Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885: Is this even right?

"I can’t! I don’t bet on unfair bets! How can Max take on the basketball team when most of the players are now playing in the professional major league?! I do betting pools, but this is not morally right!"

Sports gambling or betting, in general, was already a huge topic of debate—whether it was morally acceptable or a moral disaster. So, what Penny said contradicted itself. However, people didn’t focus on that.

Everyone slowly shifted their eyes to Hugo and the basketball team, with whom Max was arguing.

"She’s right, though," one person commented quietly. "Although not all of them pursued basketball, the majority of them are professional players, including the captain and even a few who are in the starting five lineups."

"They’ve also won championships a few times."

"Besides, Max didn’t pursue basketball and stopped playing after that game twelve years ago. So, even if Max was good in the past, I don’t think he’s still as good as he was before."

"This is overkill, and I don’t think anyone here would find it fun to watch a game like that."

"Is it really that overkill?"

"Of course! Even if Atlas played, he wouldn’t need to do anything if four of his team members are star players."

"Oh, so it’s easy money?"

"The money isn’t what actually matters here, but the fun of it."

Listening to the crowd’s opinions, Penny secretly smiled in satisfaction. She started this argument with Hugo and Max, so she had to put a stop to it as well. However, just as she was mentally giggling to herself, Ginnie suddenly spoke.

"If that’s the case, then Hugo and Max, are you okay with settling this by apologizing to each other?" Ginnie asked, but what she received from both men and the basketball team was a resounding "NO!"

Ginnie and Penny’s faces twitched, but Ginnie managed to keep her calm. "Then, if this won’t be settled gently, how about the basketball team just doesn’t play?"

"Huh?!" was everyone’s reaction, making Ginnie chuckle. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"Since Max and Atlas are basically on the same standing, we can call it a good match," Ginnie remarked. "We can arrange a game, but I don’t think any of the basketball players who play in the major leagues can join."

"What?! That makes no sense at all!" the basketball team protested. "Ginnie, what are you saying? Max deliberately said something offensive, and we all took it personally. It’s our right to settle this!"

Ginnie smiled at the men protesting against her. "Right?" With her change in tone, some of the basketball players almost bit their tongues, as it seemed Ginnie would soon take this personally as well.

"For now, be the cheerleaders of your chosen team," Ginnie flashed all of them a sweet smile. "However, I’ll allow Senior Hugo, since he doesn’t play professionally either. So, Senior Hugo’s team will have Senior Hugo and Senior Atlas. You still need at least three or four more."

"Me! Me!"

When everyone heard the voice who was volunteering, they all turned to see who it was. Everyone’s eyes fell on Ray, who was raising his hand and then holding Dean’s arm to raise it as well.

"Oh, right!" Ginnie slapped the bottom of her fist against her palm, smiling at Zoren. ’Right, Penny’s husband is surprisingly here. So, it’s Penny’s brothers, and then, their brother-in-law.’
