Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 896

Chapter 896: They have to

How this betting suddenly turned into something unexpected was something everyone took time to process. However, when the crowd realized this was no joke, cheers and roars erupted throughout the open court. Some even felt the seats and floors tremble as the excitement reached an all-time high.

Some people thought Penny was a madwoman—arrogant, even. Others wondered if Penny had any regrets, because the betting happened before the game, not during or after. Those were the minority of the crowd.

The rest?

All they could think was that Penny knew how to make things interesting. Be it in the past or now, she was the person who had always started things that diverted the entire school’s attention or gave them something fun to look forward to.

She was the one who started the bet Atlas had with the Star Section students, which many were interested in. Although she wasn’t the one who had started the bet between the basketball team and Max in the past, she contributed to it because of what she had started.

Today was no different.

It was just that, instead of her allowance, she had dauntingly raised the stakes to an entirely different level.

Those who had bet on Max’s team cheered even more fiercely, shouting to raise the team’s morale.

"Team Max! Take them all down!"

"Don’t let them make a score!"

"This is going to be easy—you guys are the best! Prove who the champion in this court is!"

"Go, Max! Go, Max! You can do it!"

"I’d spend a night with you, Max, if you win!"

No matter how ridiculous some of the cheers were, they could be heard everywhere, all meant to motivate the team. Some might say it was desperation, but it was actually their determination for this team to win. Many of those who placed their bets on Max’s team did it so thoughtlessly. They had carefully considered the situation of both teams. Now, they just had to make sure they won.

Those who had placed their bets on Hugo’s team, on the other hand, regained the spark they thought they had lost. Just like the other side, they cheered just as fiercely.

"Hugo, Penny’s life is in your hands—don’t you dare drag your sister into your broke life!"

"Hugo, I won’t forgive you if you lose! This is your sister’s life now! Even if you spit blood, we don’t care!"

"Don’t disappoint Penny, Team!"

"All our money’s on you as well! Please don’t let them take it away without putting up a good fight!"

"Team Hugo!"

"Blacky~!!!!"
