Chapter 312
Cain’s fall caught everyone’s attention. The referee immediately ran over to help him. “Are you okay? Can you continue the match?”
Cain felt pain from the fall, but he wasn’t injured. He nodded. “I’m fine. Let’s continue the competition.”
“It’s incredibly embarrassing to back out now,” Cain thought. “Moreover, I can tell Phoebe and Andrea were looking at Sienna with unfriendly gazes. They’ll likely take revenge in the upcoming competition. I promised Sienna I would protect her, so I have to keep my promise.”
At that moment, Sienna rode over and asked about Cain’s well-being. She also probed, “Cain, do you want to rest?”
Naturally, she didn’t want Cain to stop and rest.
Cain stood up and smiled. “I’m fine. I can continue competing. I said I’d protect you, and I’ll do it.”
Bienna looked at Cain with a touched expression. “Cain, you’re the best.”
The audience in the stands couldn’t hear what they were saying, but viewers in the live broadcast room could, through the drone’s live feed. All of them sighed that Cain treated Sienna so well.
Leon and Joshua, on the other hand, were speechless. Joshua said, “Cain is out of his mind again. I felt a little uneasy when I saw Sienna’s smile. Is she up to something again?”
If it were before, when he hadn’t seen through Sienna, he would have thought Sienna didn’t mean it when she treated Andrea like that. But now, he could be sure Sienna had done it on purpose. “Is she becoming more and more unrecognizable!” Joshua asked.
“Why is…,” Leon raised his eyebrows. “Maybe she was like this in the past. It’s just that she’s only revealed her true colors now. Haven’t you noticed! She’s stopped acting since she started playing polo today.”
Leon thought, ‘How could the previous Sienna have spoken so arrogantly to Phoebe and the others during the live broadcast?’ “It’s also impossible for her to deliberately attack Andrea in public if it were in the past.”
It can only mean that Sienna knew there was too much online criticism. She knew the hope of clearing her name was too small, so she decided to let herself go.
Joshua nodded. “I’ve noticed that. Not only did she become domineering, but she also revealed a fierce side. Cain is such a fool. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with his movements when he stepped on the stirrup just now, but he slipped and fell. I feel like he’s going to be unlucky.”
Because he had been unlucky before, Joshua knew this kind of situation very well. Leon was the same. “Definitely. There’s no need to doubt it. But I don’t know how unlucky he will be.”
Leon thought, ‘It seems that Cain, the idiot, is focused on protecting Sienna. He has yet to react. This slip is only the beginning of his bad luck!’ Then, he was puzzled and asked, “Isn’t he wearing the horoscope artifact bracelet? Why is he unlucky again!”
Joshua was equally confused. “I find it strange too.”
Leon said, “Let’s continue watching.”
The match continued. This time, Phoebe took the initiative to snatch the ball with Andrea. The two of them cooperated very well. After the snatch, they would pass it to Maddox or Kaylan, who would score as long as they got the ball. Hence, Phoebe’s team had always been in the lead. Not only did Andrea and Phoebe have great chemistry on the court, but they also had the same thoughts.
The two of them did not take the initiative to attack Sienna. Instead, they had always adhered to the rules of the polo match and maintained their distance because they knew that Sienna wouldn’t be able to wait and would come to them unsolicited. Sienna had indeed thought so, but she had never found an opportunity.
Soon the first half was over. Phoebe’s group was in the lead. After a 15-minute break, the second half continued. The two sides switched venues.
Sienna told Cain, “Let’s take the initiative to quicken the pace of the game. Otherwise, we’ll lose.” She realized that Cain didn’t play his best when he met Phoebe. She guessed Cain wanted to hold back when facing Phoebe, so she remained silent. Since he had chosen me, he should not show mercy to Phoebe, Sienna thought. However, she would not say it out loud. She would only use other methods to force Cain to deal with Phoebe.
When Cain heard her say that, he thought about it and nodded. “Alright.” Although he didn’t want to target Phoebe, they needed to win this match to prove themselves. Also, he had to protect Sienna. Therefore, in the second half, Cain always rode around Sienna.
Seeing this, even Phoebe wanted to pray for Cain. Is Cain so close to Sienna, acting as her shield, because he feels that his luck hasn’t been drained enough by her!
Then, Sienna began to attack Phoebe. She used all kinds of dirty tricks, but Phoebe dodged them and counterattacked. And every time she counterattacked, the unlucky one was Cain. For example, when they snatched the ball, Phoebe would counterattack Sienna. She hit the ball at a tricky angle. Then, it flew toward Sienna’s face as if by accident. From the perspective of the rules, she naturally did not break the rules.
As the ball passed, since Sienna absorbed Cain’s luck, Sienna’s horse would leap out suddenly, just enough for her to dodge the incoming ball. Cain, who had his luck sucked by her and was protecting her from the side, naturally could not escape. A ball smashed into his face, making him cry out in pain. Then, half of his face turned red and swollen. After spraying the medicinal mist, he continued to persevere.
Then, he kept getting injured. Either the ball hit his face or body, or his foot got accidentally hit by someone’s cue. His face, arms, and legs were all swollen. But he gritted his teeth and persevered because the match was about to end soon.
Then, Sienna used the same trick she had used against Andrea to scheme against Phoebe. Phoebe increased her strength. Not only did she not get hit, but she also gave Sienna a taste of her own medicine. The extended cue was rebounded, and Sienna’s hand was numb from the shock. She did not expect Phoebe to be so strong. She wanted to move the cue stick, but her arm was weak from the previous shock. So the cue landed in her own horse’s lap. The horse was shocked by the pain and tried to throw Sienna off.
However, Cain happened to be beside Sienna at this moment. When she was thrown off the horse, Cain rode alongside and reached out to pull her into his arms. So, Sienna did not fall to the ground. Instead, she got on Cain’s horse.
While she sat on the horse, Cain got unlucky. He did not sit properly and fell off the horse. Fortunately, the horse wasn’t fast. So when he fell, he only suffered minor scratches on his face and hands and was not seriously injured.
Sienna naturally knew why Cain fell off the horse. She knew he had suffered the calamity for her. She hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped Cain up worriedly. “Cain, are you alright?”
Chapter 312
Cain’s entire body was in pain, especially his face and hands. He said, “My body hurts a little.”
Sienna looked at the match time. “Cain. There are only a few minutes left. Let’s try hard to catch up to them and strive for overtime.” They were a few scores behind, so there was still hope for them to catch up.
Moreover, even if they could not win the match in the end, she also wanted to think of a way to mess with Phoebe so that Phoebe would be injured and leave the variety show.
Cain originally wanted to apply to quit and rest. Hearing her say this, he could only grit his teeth and say, “Alright. Then, let’s hold on for a few more minutes.”
Not far away, Phoebe saw that Cain’s luck was about to merge with Sienna’s. Two-thirds of the beads on the bracelet he was wearing began to crack. Although he was unlucky previously, he only suffered light injuries because this bracelet had blocked the calamity. It is obvious that his artifact is about to collapse. If Cain gets unlucky next, he will be in big trouble, Phoebe thought.
Phoebe watched as Sienna mounted her horse and reached out to pull Cain into the back. She thought, ‘Based on the situation, Cain could have applied to rest. This way, he can avoid any accidents on the polo field. The beads on his bracelet can also help him suppress the bad luck. But now, Cain is courting death himself. He is hopeless.’
