Chapter 306
They had made money, so they took a carriage to the polo field. The polo field was expansive. Stands with seats lined all sides, and in the middle was a large event area. Many people who came to Oriar enjoyed playing polo; therefore, many people came to participate in the polo match today. Polo matches required specific attire. People couldn't wear ordinary costumes, as they couldn't move freely. They could buy the clothes outside; there were shops outside the polo field that sold them.
Cain and Sienna hadn't bought theirs yesterday, so they would buy a set now and change into it. Phoebe, Maddox, Raylan, and Andrea had bought theirs at Maddox's part-time shop yesterday. Not only did the shop owner choose clothes for them, but she also gave them a discount. She also chose the same bright red polo suit for them. Maddox and Phoebe looked flamboyant and unrestrained in the polo suit. As for Andrea, she possessed an additional valiant sweetness. Raylan now exuded an enchanting charisma different from the elegance he radiated in white clothes. The four had good looks and figures, so when they changed into their polo suits and came out, they attracted almost everyone's attention.
Maddox had hashtagged Cain and Sienna in the group chat, asking them to buy the red ones. This way, it would be easier to find Cain and Sienna once they were on the field. At this moment, Cain and Sienna had bought red polo suits, but be it the style of their clothes or their appearances and temperaments, they were inferior to the other four.
Cain and Sienna came out after changing their clothes. When they saw the other four wearing the same style of polo suits, they felt terrible. Sienna said in a low and aggrieved voice, “They’re too much. We are going to the competition as a team, but they deliberately isolate us even in how they dress.” Although they had also chosen good-looking clothes, they still felt inferior to Phoebe and the others. Sienna was so upset to be outdone like this. When Cain heard this, he was even more unhappy. “That’s right,” he said, then walked over and told the four of them, “Aren’t you guys going too far?”
Maddox raised his eyebrows. “What’s your problem now?”
Cain said, “You’re all wearing the same clothes. Why did you deliberately leave us out? Even if you don’t like us and want to isolate us, you should still consider the time and occasion. We’re going to the competition as a team now. Can’t we let go of our past grudges and work together?”
Maddox was amused. He said, “Did we deliberately leave you out? You’re indeed a little blind. I asked you in the group chat yesterday if you wanted to buy clothes together. You said you wouldn’t come because your good sister was dizzy and sick and wanted to rest at the hotel.” He continued after a pause, “You said you could buy it after arriving at the polo field. I also reminded you to buy red ones if you wanted to buy them yourself. But now, you’re saying we left you out on purpose?”
Phoebe was speechless and looked at Sienna and Cain. Then, she added, “You guys don’t fit in, yet you’re blaming us for isolating you. You’re still so good at blaming others.”
Sienna said indignantly, “But you didn’t say yesterday that you bought the same clothes.”
Phoebe raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t that what we meant when we said we would choose clothes together? Don’t you have any understanding at all? Besides, didn’t you say you were sick and had to rest in the hotel? Maddox asked you in the group chat. We didn’t buy the clothes behind your back. You didn’t come yourself. How can you still have the nerve to throw a tantrum?”
Sienna was rendered speechless. They had seen Maddox’s message in the group chat yesterday. However, they didn’t want to go out, so they rejected it.
She deliberately said, “No matter what, it’s difficult for us to join the team if you guys make a special move like this.”
Phoebe knew Sienna quite well. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Then what do you want? You aren’t planning to change teams on a whim, are you?”
Under normal circumstances, Sienna would always pretend to be kind and considerate in the live broadcast. She would not express her dissatisfaction so bluntly. If such a thing happened, there is only one possibility. This woman must have ill intentions and is about to cause trouble, Phoebe thought.
Sienna did not expect Phoebe to see through her thoughts. So she said, “Since you’re isolating and excluding us, it’s not good for us to form a team. In that case, we might as well split up.”
Sienna did not want to be in the same group as Phoebe. She thought, ‘If we win the match, the audience watching the live broadcast will say it’s all Phoebe and the others’ credit. I don’t want to be a foil.’ Those videos and photos were exposed online one after another, and Sienna’s luck was weakened and lost. ‘It must be Phoebe who did it. If I have such photos and videos of Phoebe, I’ll surely release them,’ Sienna thought. She could not take this lying down and longed for revenge even more. She kept feeling that only by getting rid of Phoebe would she be able to return to the days when she was being pampered and everything went smoothly. And at that time, her luck would not be weakened constantly. Therefore, if they were not on the same team, she could find an opportunity to tamper with it. Sienna had been trying to find an excuse and reason to change teams yesterday. So, when she saw the four of them wearing the same uniform today, she realized it was an opportunity. Therefore, while she felt upset, she also took the opportunity to pick a fight and switch teams.
Maddox was speechless. “Up until this very moment, you’re bringing up the idea of separating? Are you deliberately toying with us?”
Sienna said aggrievedly, “You guys were the ones who went overboard first. You isolated us so much that we couldn’t take it.”
Maddox was so angry that he laughed. “Alright, I can already tell you guys are deliberately looking for trouble and want to change teams. Alright. If you don’t want to be on the same team as us, we don’t want to either. Let’s disperse now. The four of us will find another two teammates. You two should find another group!”
In such a match, people who didn’t have a fixed team and liked polo would come to the competition venue to find a team. As for those teams, if there weren’t enough people, they would invite others to join temporarily. So there was still time to regroup. They knew that was what Sienna had in mind.
Sienna pretended to be angry. “Find. We’ll find other teammates.” After saying that, she pulled Cain’s arm. “Cain, we’re not going to take this anymore. Let’s go.”
She also understood that after so many things, her reputation online was getting worse and worse. People will scold me badly anyway. I don’t see the need to continue pretending. It also means that I’ll be angry and retaliate. Later, on the field of competition, it’ll make sense for me not to hold back when facing Phoebe and her team, Sienna thought. She was now falling out with them to stir things up and pave the way for what was coming next.
Cain was a little confused. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this just because of a set of clothes. However, he was naturally on Sienna’s side. Hence, he nodded before saying deliberately, “Alright. Since they’re bullying us like this, we won’t play with them anymore.” Then, he left with Sienna.
Seeing the two of them leave, Andrea deliberately said in front of the live broadcast camera, “They must have thought about it beforehand and wanted to separate from us.”
Maddox said, “That’s for sure. Look at Sienna. She’s already prepared. She can’t wait to find another team.”
Andrea asked, “Why would they want to split up?”
Phoebe knew that she was asking on purpose. Hence, she said, “They might be afraid that we’ll steal their limelight, so they want to separate.”
Andrea agreed. “I think so too. But this is too much. If they had told us earlier, we would have been prepared. Their sudden move caught us completely off guard.”
The three of them said it on purpose. They wanted to expose Sienna’s thoughts. Otherwise, if Sienna put the blame on them and pretended to have been bullied by them into being forced to rejoin the team, it might lead to misunderstandings. Moreover, Sienna’s method was too disgusting. They had to expose it and let everyone know about her scheme.
