When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind

hapter 346 Can’t Let Go

48 Pearls

Back at the Ginger mansion, Sienna and Winston weren’t home. Jean walked into the bedroom alone, tossed her backpack aside, and flopped down onto the little couch.

She was a bit ured.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone chimed with a “ding–dong.”

Jean instinctively pulled out her phone and unlocked the screen-

Turned out it was an email.

She tapped it open and checked carefully. It was from the game “League of Legends“!

She hadn’t touched that game in ages–almost forgot about it….

The message read: “Your friend “Deadmark” has invited you to log in!”noveldrama

What the heck! That was my brother Winston, wasn’t it? Back then, she’d registered a League account just to get close to Winston and had played a few matches with him…

Now, after being offline for so long, her brother had actually taken the time to send her a message… The game really did include a feature like that, allowing players to apply through the support system to send a message to a long–inactive friend.

Of course, there was a certain threshold for this kind of request; not just anyone could do it.

Once approved by the system, an email would be sent to the friend. And now, Jean had received that email.

It was kind of amazing.

Her own brother barely messaged her in real life, but he still couldn’t let go of an online friend he’d never

even met…

If Winston ever found out that this online friend was actually me… Jean chuckled quietly to herself.

In the end, she booted up her computer and logged into the game.

Wingflare was back. The news spread quickly throughout the entire lobby and forums.

Because she’d been gone for so long, plenty of people had forgotten all about her–some even asked who Wingflare was…

“Was this person really that famous? Why is everyone freaking out?”

“Used to be a big deal.”

“A prodigy who could go head–to–head with Deadmark. I was lucky enough to watch some of their p absolutely insane.”

“I thought they’d quit the game for good.”

Jean clicked into her inbox and saw that Deadmark had sent her more than one message.

The first one was: “You quit the game?”

The second, sent just a few days ago: “The devs are hosting a tournament. Wanna team up?”

Clearly, after getting no reply, Winston had resorted to using the official method to call her back online.

All just to team up?

If it had been anyone else, Jean would’ve definitely said no, She really wasn’t in the mood to play games these days.

But her brother wanted to team up for a tournament…

She thought about it for a moment, then typed a reply to Deadmark in the chat box: “Sure. Got the rest of the team ready?”

He replied almost instantly: “With you, we’re still one short.”

Jean frowned slightly and replied: “Then you’ll have to find someone. I don’t have many friends; don’t know any good players.”

Winston replied with a single word: “Okay.”

Jean didn’t send anything else after that; she just stared blankly at the screen.

Suddenly, the chat window flickered.

Winston had sent another message: “Been busy lately?”

Jean let out a small laugh. So he’s been thinking about me, huh.

In the game, they texted.

Wingflare texted: “Kinda. That’s why I haven’t logged on in a while.”

Deadmark replied: “If we’re teaming up, you’ll have to be more consistent. Can’t just disappear whenever you feel like it.”

Wingflare replied: “Don’t worry. If I said yes, I’ll play for real.”

After that exchange, Jean logged out of the game lobby.

She thought she’d get a message soon saying Winston had found the last teammate. But surprisingly, that final spot remained unfilled.

Either the player’s skill wasn’t up to Winston’s standards, or the person just didn’t sit right with him. And just like that, the team stayed stuck–one piece short of completion.
