novelxo Chapter 338 Playing the Game with Shawn's Account
A group of people walked into the villa, and Alan, as gentle as ever, went to show off. "I have a swimming coach certificate. If you trust me and want to swim, I can join you." Molly, trying to compare, said, "Sebastian not only has a swimming coach certificate but also a lifeguard certificate."
She was hinting that Alan still wasn't as good as Sebastian.
Alan nodded with a smile. "Alright, Sebastian's the best."
"Of course, Sebastian's a police officer," Molly said proudly.
Alan noticed that Sebastian was the person Molly admired the most. She only talked more when Sebastian was mentioned. He got even more curious about Sebastian.
He took Molly to the billiard room and asked, "Do you know how to play?"
Molly replied, "Sebastian taught me, but I'm not very good. After accidentally hurting Randall, I didn't dare to play again."
Alan then took Molly to the wine room, private cinema, and gaming room. Finally, he opened the bedroom on the third floor. "This is the master bedroom. If you're tired, you can rest here." Molly frowned immediately. "Aren't I going home tonight?"
Alan smiled and reassured her, "If you want to go home, I'll take you back. They are used to staying up all night and will probably stay here tonight, so I found a place with many guest rooms. I reserved this best main bedroom just for you." Molly glanced at him and nodded. "Thank you, Alan, but you are the host today. You should keep the master bedroom. If I'm tired, I'll go home."
Alan saw her distancing herself and smiled gentlemanly. "Alright."
The servants had already prepared various foods and placed them on the table. Molly glanced at the people attending the party and roughly estimated there were about fifteen or sixteen.
Clara, standing nearby, intentionally tried to match the two. "Mr. Miller, we haven't seen you introduce each room to us like this. It seems Molly is special to you."
Molly smiled playfully. "Looks like Clara is jealous. If you fancy Alan, just tell me secretly, and I'll help you. I wish you both a happy marriage soon."
Upon hearing this, everyone around started laughing, "Clara, do you have a crush on Mr. Miller?"
Alan's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "Don't joke around. Clara and I have nothing going on."
Clara quickly explained, "Don't listen to Molly's nonsense. Mr. Miller and I just met."
Molly retorted to Clara, showing she didn't like the joke. The people around were smart and didn't make such jokes anymore.
Everyone there knew how to have fun. After eating, a group of people grabbed bottles of wine. Some played board games, some played billiards, and others went to the gaming room.
It was Molly's first time attending, so she spoke little. But whenever people played something, she could chime in a few words.
Someone asked, "Molly, do you play games?"
Molly, being modest with new acquaintances, said, "Just a bit."
Someone took it seriously and enthusiastically invited her, "No worries, I can teach you."
Alan also encouraged Molly to join. Molly glanced at the game everyone was playing and their levels. The highest was only level 47, while her level 80 account was a bit too much to show. "How about I use Shawn's account?" Molly said, sitting at a computer and quickly logging in with Shawn's credentials.
Meanwhile, Sebastian came home from work and called out, "Molly?"
No answer. He figured she was asleep, so he checked her room. Her pajamas were on the bed, but she was nowhere to be found.
He pulled out his phone and called her.
Molly's phone rang on the corner of the table. She glanced at the caller ID but kept her focus on the game. Her hands moved faster than anyone else in the room.
She had planned to keep her skills under wraps, but she couldn't help herself. She boosted Shawn's level from 23 to 28 and her teammate's level from 47 to 50.
"Hurry, Kennedy, heal me. My brother's calling. I need to wrap this up in five minutes," Molly said, her anxiety accelerating her hand speed even further.
If she stopped, the opponent would wipe out her team.
Alan watched, thinking she was pretty cool.
At first, he thought Molly was just an elegant, intellectual girl. Today, he saw her gentle and agreeable side. But now, seeing her game, he realized she had a cool side too. Molly's phone stopped ringing, then started again with Sebastian's number.
Alan picked it up, answered, and put it to his ear. "Hello?"
Sebastian's voice turned cold. "Who are you?"
Molly's urgent voice came through. "Sebastian, it's me, Molly."
She finished her final push, quickly got up, grabbed her phone, and put it to her ear, trying to sound cute. "Sebastian, are you off work?" Sebastian's temples throbbed with anger. "Where are you? Who was that guy? What are you doing?"
Molly glanced around, then ran outside with her phone, trying to explain.
Inside, the people she had helped level up were stunned. "Molly's definitely a pro. I couldn't even see her hand speed." Outside, Molly felt the cool breeze. It had gotten dark without her noticing.
"Sebastian, don't yell at me, or I won't acknowledge you as my brother."
"Alright, Sebastian, don't be mad. I really didn't do anything wrong. I'll send you my location."
"Sebastian, please, stop scolding me. I was just playing a game, and Alan answered my phone. I'm mad about it too."
Molly was on the phone with Sebastian for almost half an hour. After hanging up, she went back inside, grabbed her bag from the sofa.
"I have to go home now. Let's play together next time," she told everyone.
Alan offered to take her home, but she declined. "Alan, thanks for the invite today. I had a great time."
She went outside and sat on the steps, waiting for Sebastian.
Soon, Sebastian's car arrived..
He got out, fuming. "Molly, get over here."
Molly rushed over, hugging his arm and waist to stop him from hitting her. "Sebastian, there are a lot of people here. Scold me in the car." Sebastian angrily asked, "What time is it now?"
Molly replied, "I estimate it's seven o'clock. The actual time is ten."
Sebastian fumed. "If I hadn't called, were you not planning to come home tonight?"
