Chapter 212 The Only SisterÂ
A flicker of mockery crossed Raine’s eyes. To her, Nancy was pathetic.Â
She assumed that Nancy wanted to know what it felt like to have a brother’s affection, but she picked Jordan of all people?Â
He was nothing but a cripple. There was no way he could compare to Fergus. Raine was still waiting for Fergus to win first place in the national tournament so she could bask in his glory.Â
Fergus started up the basketball machine and began shooting.Â
The first three shots went straight in.Â
Raine clapped excitedly. “Fergie, you’re amazing!”Â
“It’s nothing,” Fergus said, his lips curling into a smug smile. Already reveling in his victory, he keptÂ
shooting.Â
A small crowd began to gather around, drawn by his winning streak.Â
“Wow, he’s good!”Â
“That’s almost a perfect record!”Â
The praise made Fergus swell with pride. His need to show off only grew. But the pressure got to him, and he missed the last two shots.Â
Still, eight out of ten was impressive.Â
“That’s incredible, Fergie!” Raine’s cheeks flushed red with excitement. She turned to Jordan, her eyes gleaming with arrogance. “You can still surrender, you know. Save yourself the embarrassment.Â
Jordan ignored her and started up his machine.Â
Raine leaned close to Nancy, her voice dripping with contempt. “You really are pathetic. Only trash like him would ever agree to be your brother.”Â
“Oh? Did Fergus forget to tell you about the time he came to see me and I kicked him out?” Nancy replied coolly.Â
Raine’s face drained of color. Of course, she was already aware. She had specifically followed Fergus that day, after all.Â
She stared at Nancy with resentment.Â
Nancy’s calm, indifferent expression made it seem like everything Raine valued so much was nothing but dirt to her.Â

“Even if Fergie went to see you, it was only because of Yelena. He never actually wanted you as hisÂ
sister,” Raine snapped.Â
“Oh, I see,” Nancy said, locking her eyes on Fergus. “I knew you never really meant it when you said you wanted to reconcile with me.”Â
Fergus rushed to defend himself. “Nancy, I really did mean it! How can you compare that worthless guy to me, your real brother?”Â
“But you already have a sister.” Nancy sighed. “If what you said that day was true, then why are you always showing up with Raine? Didn’t you say I was your only sister?”Â
Raine froze. She turned to stare at Fergus in disbelief.Â
Had he actually told her that?Â
A cold sweat broke out on Fergus‘ forehead. “Raine, let me explain… Nancy, it’s not what you think.Â
You’re both my sisters…”Â
His words stumbled over each other as he struggled to speak.Â
“Forget it. I’m done wasting my breath. Let’s just watch Jordan play.” Nancy turned to Jordan, who had already started shooting.Â
Fergus‘ lips curled with disdain. He knew full well that Jordan’s hand was injured. There was no wayÂ
he’d make all ten shots.Â
However, the first five balls dropped cleanly through the net.Â
The crowd burst into applause.Â
Still, Fergus noticed the fine sheen of sweat on Jordan’s forehead. A sly smile tugged at his lips as he said, “If you can’t keep going, you should quit now. Push too hard, and you might never be able to lift that hand again.”Â
Jordan ignored him and kept shooting.Â
Right until the eighth shot, Fergus‘ expression tightened. If Jordan made just one more shot, he’dÂ
lose.Â
Wasn’t his hand supposed to be injured?Â
Fergus‘ gaze locked onto Jordan.Â
Jordan threw the ball.Â
The arc was textbook perfect. At that rate, the ball was going in for sure.Â
In that instant, Fergus ripped off one of the buttons from his shirt and flicked it forward.Â

It hit the ball, veering it off course.Â
As a result, the ball hit the rim with a clang. Jordan had missed the shot.Â
