Chapter 193
Jamar, sitting beside Andrea, couldn't help but ask, โEnjoying the show?โ
Andrea turned to him and nodded. โYeah. Itโs great.โ
Phoebe wasnโt just beautiful; she was smart, capable, and even amazing at gaming.
Jamar raised an eyebrow. โAre you her fan?โ
Andrea lifted her hand and made a so-so gesture. Then, in a hushed voice, she added, โI donโt want to cause Phoebe any trouble. You should take a hint tooโif she doesnโt want to deal with you guys, you should stop bothering her.โ
The livestream cameras were too far away to pick up her words, so only Jamar heard them. Jamar felt a twinge of pain in his chest.
So, in the eyes of Phoebeโs fans, their attempts at making amends were nothing more than annoying disturbances? He sighed. โWe know we screwed up. We just want to make things right.โ
Andrea didnโt hesitate. โAnd where was that energy before?โ
She tilted her head slightly, turning away from the cameras, and murmured to Jamar, โThe damage is done. Do you really think apologizing after the fact changes anything? Why should Phoebe forgive a bunch of hindsight heroes?โ
Jamar flinched. โDamn, girl. Youโre harsh.โ
Andrea rolled her eyes. โDonโt โgirlโ me. And donโt get too close.โ
Jamar was speechless. At first, he had thought this new guest was sweet and gentle. Who wouldโve guessed she was a sharp-clawed little wildcat? With a deadpan expression, he muttered, โYou werenโt like this earlier.โ
Andrea gave him a mockingly innocent look. โDuh. That was for the livestream. Why would I waste my time on you three scumbags otherwise?โ
Jamar was stunned. This woman is fickle. Joshua had been rightโyou never really know whatโs going on in a womanโs mind.
Andrea ignored him after that and went back to watching Phoebe play. Their conversation had been too quiet for anyone else to hear, except for Phoebe. And Phoebe was intrigued. Was Andrea being genuine? Or was she saying this on purpose for her to hear? Either wayโฆ things were getting more interesting.
Viewers quickly noticed the way Andrea was watching Phoebe with stars in her eyes. Some who could read lips even translated her earlier whispered commentโโPhoebe is so cool.โ The chat exploded:
[Didnโt expect thisโturns out Andrea is a Phoebe fangirl! She looks just like me watching Phoebe. Sheโs got good taste.]
Andreaโs fans jumped in as well:
[Weโre not just hopping on the bandwagonโAndrea really is a Phoebe fan. She was hyping her up in our group chat after the first episode. The moment Phoebe stood up to Jamar and Sienna, Andrea was hooked.]
[Same here. I love how Phoebe stands her ground. She fiercely protects the people she cares about and shows no mercy to those she despises. Thatโs my kind of woman.]
[Joshua really had the audacity to ask Phoebe to make him throat lozenges. Now he suddenly realizes how valuable she is? Too bad. Heโs too late.]
Joshuaโs own fans couldnโt even defend him. And Sienna? Peopleโs disdain for her hit new levels.
Back at the internet cafรฉ, by 10 PM, Phoebe and her group decided to call it a night. She had no interest in acknowledging the Jenkins brothers, but she did smile and say goodbye to Andrea. Andreaโs eyes sparkled with excitement. And when she replied, her voice was practically dripping with sugar. Phoebeโs fans were jealous.
Even Reece and the Jenkins brothers couldnโt hide their bitterness. Their expressions darkened as they watched Andrea bask in Phoebeโs attention. Andrea, sensing their gazes, turned away from the cameras and flashed them a brilliantly smug smile. Then, in a voice only they could hear, she smirked, โThis is something youโll never get back.โ
The three men fell silent. Just earlier today, they had thought Andrea was a nice girl. Phoebe and her team left first, and they followed soon after, returning to their hotel. The livestream ended only after everyone had entered their rooms.
After changing into casual clothes, letting her hair down, and pulling on a mask, Andrea slipped out of the hotel. With the money she had earned that dayโafter splitting it between the four of themโshe hailed a cab to the hospital. Maria had already texted her Siennaโs room number. She went straight upstairs and knocked on the door.
Inside, Sienna was seething while scrolling through Twitter and trending searches. No wonder she had felt her luck slipping awayโthe internet was tearing her apart. Something about it felt wrong. It wasnโt supposed to be like thisโฆ
Hearing the knock, a flicker of hope rose in her heart. โJoshua and Jamar?โ She had sent them several messages today, but neither had responded. โCould they be here to surprise me?โ Sienna thought. Voice tinged with excitement, she called out, โCome in.โ
But when she saw who it actually was, her smile froze. โWhat are you doing here?โ
Andrea closed the door, pulling down her mask. Raising an eyebrow, she smirked. โYou thought it was Joshua and Jamar, didnโt you?โ
Siennaโs expression soured. โNone of your business.โ
Andrea chuckled. โWow. You really are delusional. After everything you did, do you really think theyโd still orbit around you? Leon built up this โnoble ladyโ persona for you, and you actually started believing you were a princess?โ
Siennaโs anger flared. โWhat are you trying to say? You came all this way just to mock me?โ
Andrea gave a mock-innocent shrug. โDidnโt you want me here?โ
Sienna huffed. โMom and Cesar sent you to take care of me. You better be respectful, or Iโll tell them you came here just to insult me.โ
Andrea rolled her eyes. โThis is the only trick you have, isnโt it?โ Then, with a mocking smile, she added, โFine. How do you want me to take care of you? Feed you? Tuck you in?โ
Sienna narrowed her eyes. โI donโt feel well. Get me some water and help me clean up.โ
During the day, she could call for a nurse. But at night? That was inconvenient. The production team had assigned someone to watch over her, but she had sent them away because she expected Reynard to visit.
Andrea casually slipped her mask into her pocket. โSure. Iโll get some water.โ She walked into the bathroom and filled a basin with cold water. Carrying it over, she set it down in front of Sienna.
Sienna smirked. โSee? You shouldโve just behaved from the start. And donโt think I didnโt see you pretending to be Phoebeโs fan. That was pathetic. If I were you, Iโd start a fight with herโdrama gets views. Thatโs how she got famous.โ
The moment she finished speaking, Andrea picked up the basin and dumped the entire thing over Siennaโs head. The icy water drenched her completely. Sienna screamed. โAndrea, you bitch! How dare you?!โ
