The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 306 Stirring Up Trouble

After everyone had made a profit, they journeyed to the polo field by carriage. The polo field was expansive, boasting four grandstands, and at its heart was a large area designated for the competition. Many visitors to Cubilis had a penchant for polo. Consequently, today's polo competition attracted a multitude of participants. Polo required specific attire, and participants couldn't wear their usual traditional clothing, as it would hinder their movement. They could purchase their polo outfits from shops located outside the polo field. Andrew and Jodie hadn't bought their outfits the previous day, so they decided to acquire a set now.Simone, Zac, Bailey, and Tina had purchased theirs at Zac's store the day before. The owner of the castanet shop had assisted them in choosing their clothes and had even offered them a discount. She had selected bright red polo outfits for them, all of the same style. Zac and Simone looked confident and unrestrained in their outfits, while Tina radiated an elegant sweetness. Bailey's charm was distinct from her previous ethereal white attire. All four of them were striking, so when they appeared in their outfits, they drew the attention of almost everyone. In the group chat, Zac had previously suggested that they should buy red outfits. This would make it easier to spot each other on the field. Now, Andrew and Jodie had also bought red polo outfits. However, whether it was the style of the clothes or their appearance and demeanor, they were overshadowed by the other four. After they finished changing their clothes and emerged, they saw the other four wearing the same polo outfits and felt a surge of discontent. Jodie whispered resentfully, "They've crossed the line." "We're all on the same team for the competition, and they deliberately isolated us by wearing the same clothes." Although their clothes were also chosen to look good, they felt inferior compared to Simone and the others. Being compared like this made her particularly unhappy. After hearing this, Andrew became even more upset. "Exactly." He approached them and asked, "Aren't you guys taking it too far?" Zac raised an eyebrow. "What's the problem?" Andrew retorted, "You all coordinated your clothes but deliberately left us out? Even if you don't like us and want to isolate us, you should consider the timing, right?" "We are a team competing now. Can't we put aside past grievances and work together?" Zac chuckled. "Did we deliberately leave you out? It seems like your perception is a bit skewed." "I asked you in the group chat yesterday if you wanted to buy clothes together." "You said Jodie was feeling dizzy and sick, so she wanted to rest at the inn and couldn't come. You can buy it after you come to the game." "I specifically reminded you to buy red ones if you buy them yourself." "Are you saying that we intentionally isolated and ignored you?" Simone looked at the two speechlessly and added, "You guys are not pleasant, and you still blame us for isolating you. You're good at playing the victim." Jodie protested, "But you didn't say anything yesterday either. You all bought the same thing." Simone raised an eyebrow. "When we said we would choose clothes together, wasn't that the implication? What kind of understanding do you have? Besides, you're not sick, so why must you rest at the inn? Zac asked you in the group chat. It's not like we intentionally hid the clothes we bought from you." "You didn't come yourselves, and now you have the audacity to be upset." Jodie was taken aback. They did see Zac's message in the group chat yesterday. But they didn't want to go out, so they declined. She defiantly said, "Regardless. Doing this makes it hard for us to integrate into the team." Simone knew Jodie all too well. She raised an eyebrow. "Then, what do you propose? Do you want to switch teams at the last minute?" Typically, Jodie would feign kindness and consideration and wouldn't express dissatisfaction so directly in front of the live camera. If something like this happened, there was only one possibility. She had ulterior motives and wanted to stir up trouble. Jodie didn't expect Simone to see through her intentions. "By isolating and excluding us like this, it's not beneficial for anyone to form a team." "If that's the case, we might as well split up." She didn't want to be on the same team as Simone and the others. If they won the competition, the viewers watching the live stream would credit it all to Simone and the others. She didn't want to play a supporting role like that.After the videos and photos were continuously exposed online, she experienced the diminishing and loss of her luck. She was certain that Simone was behind it. If she had photos and videos of Simone like that, she would expose them. She couldn't suppress this anger and wanted to retaliate. And she had a hunch. Only by getting rid of Simone could she return to the days when she was praised and favored. Her luck wouldn't continue to diminish. So, if they didn't compete in the same team, she would have a chance to make a move. Yesterday, she considered finding an excuse and reason to switch teams. Today, she realized this was the opportunity when she saw the four of them wearing the same team uniforms. While feeling unhappy, she seized the opportunity to stir up trouble and switch teams. Zac was speechless. "Now, are you saying we should separate? Are you intentionally playing games with us?" Jodie feigned innocence and said, "You guys went too far first. We were just unable to accept being isolated by you." Zac laughed in frustration. "Alright. I can see through it now. You're deliberately picking a fight, wanting to switch teams." "Fine. If you don't want to be on the same team, we don't want to either." "Let's just disband now and find two new teammates." "You two should also go find a new group." In this kind of competition, people who didn't have a fixed team but still enjoyed playing polo would come to the competition venue to find a team. If a team didn't have enough members, they would find someone to join temporarily. So, there was still time to reorganize teams. Jodie had this idea in mind. She feigned anger and said, "If you want to find someone, go ahead." After saying that, she grabbed Andrew's arm and said, "Andrew, let's not tolerate this anymore. Let's go." She also realized that her online reputation was deteriorating after experiencing so much. Since she would face criticism anyway, there was no need to pretend anymore. This also meant that she would become angry and retaliate. When they later became opponents on the field against Simone and the others, it was natural for her not to hold back.By causing conflicts and tearing their relationships apart now, it was just setting the stage for future trouble. Andrew was perplexed. He didn't expect things to escalate like this just because of a set of clothes. But naturally, he sided with Jodie. So, he nodded and deliberately said, "Alright. Since they're treating us like this, let's not play with them anymore." Then, he followed Jodie and left. Seeing them leave, Tina, who intentionally positioned herself in front of the live camera, said, "They must have planned to separate from us beforehand." Zac said, "Definitely. Just look at Jodie's demeanor. She was prepared and couldn't wait to find a new team." Tina asked, "Why would they want to separate?" Simone knew she was asking on purpose. So, she said, "They might be afraid that we will steal the spotlight, so they wanted to separate." Tina agreed. "I think so, too." "But this is too much. They should have informed us earlier so we could be prepared." "They suddenly pulled this stunt, catching us off guard." The three of them deliberately wanted to expose Jodie's scheming. Otherwise, if the other side turned the tables and portrayed themselves as being bullied and forced to reorganize teams, it could easily lead to misunderstandings. And this kind of behavior was too despicable, so it had to be exposed, letting everyone know about Jodie's scheming.
