Chapter 170 Competition

It didn’t take long for Cora to realize why Byron dragged her into his squabble with Lucas. As soon as his gaze fell on her, Lucas seemed to casually stand in front of her, but this was actually intentional, as if protecting his possession. “Let’s have a competition, and then we’ll know whether you can handle it.” Lucas continued to provoke Byron. Extremely displeased by Lucas shielding Cora, Byron replied, “Why not?” As a result, what was supposed to be a group activity turned into a duel between these two men, with everyone else as spectators. To witness such an intense and thrilling scene, many girls were very excited. However, Jason couldn’t help but feel a headache. He knew Lucas had been obsessed with fitness recently, so doing a thousand push-ups shouldn’t be a problem for him. But for Byron, who always appeared refined, Jason worried whether he could complete it. “If Mr. Hansen couldn’t finish it and felt like losing face, would my small game company be able to survive in New York?” He thought anxiously. But no matter how much Jason worried, this private competition had already begun. “One, two, three..." As they each did push-ups in their respective territories, many girls spontaneously counted for them, making the atmosphere even more intense. In a blink of an eye, both sides had completed eight hundred push-ups, and both of them were drenched in sweat. “Eight hundred and one, eight hundred and two..." “Lucas, have some water if you’re tired,” Cora said. Watching his dedicated efforts, she knew Lucas provoked Byron for her sake but didn’t know how to help him. Intentionally or not, Lucas actually got up to take the water Cora handed him. Seeing this, Carter also handed Byron a bottle of water. Byron got up as well. However, while both were water, Lucas drank the one from Cora, and the one in his hand was from Carter, which tasted quite different. Moreover, while Lucas drank water, he kept talking to Cora, and the smiles on their faces made Byron even more annoyed. Without thinking, he blurted out a sarcastic remark.
