Chapter 1194

Chloe Collins reacted swiftly, instinctively bending to avoid the murderous swing of her opponent’s racket.

With a ’thud’, the ball was hit and sent flying.

Manie York received it, mustering her strength to hit it back.

Raine Nolan tried to intercept.

Chloe Collins was already back on her feet, twisting her neck with a frown to observe the ongoing scene.

Before long, the winner was decided — Manie York scored a point.

Raine Nolan’s fierce swing turned out to be counterproductive, consequently hitting the ball out of bounds.

"Hey."

Raine Nolan was staring at Anders Spence out of her periphery when she heard Chloe’s voice and snapped back at her annoyed.

Chloe Collins looked indifferent, "Play seriously."

Raine Nolan was provoked by the command and responded with a sinister smile: "I don’t need you to tell me that!"

As the next round of serving began, she hit the ball fiercely, as if she considered her opponent her enemy, or perhaps she wanted to vent out her frustrations.

Initially, Manie York believed that Raine Nolan would intentionally lose points to help her win, but she played increasingly seriously.

Manie herself never intended to win by resorting to such cheap tactics. Watching Raine Nolan play seriously, she felt a rush of adrenaline.

In the following five minutes —

All of the returned balls were aimed at Chloe Collins, none were lost.

Manie York quickly realized that, Chloe seemed to have mastered the game’s knack in a short time, a drastic departure from her initial clumsiness.

Meanwhile, Alex Foster’s performance was quite lackadaisical throughout. Even though he managed to return all the balls, it always felt as if he was purposely losing points to Chloe Collins.

So, when the balls fell on her side, she simply hit them towards Raine Nolan. Coincidentally, Raine also returned the balls directly toward her. This way, it became easier to decide the winner.

Surprisingly, Raine Nolan’s tennis skills were not weak. She managed to return several balls, but it seemed like she was hitting them randomly. Several times, she intentionally aimed for the referee.

Currently, Chloe Collins’ team led by two points.

With time running out, Anders Spence called out a reminder.

It was Chloe Collins’ serve again, marking the beginning of a new round.

The sounds of ’thud, thud, thud’ filled the court, the fluorescent balls tracing parabolic paths through the air.

After a few volleys with Chloe Collins, she suddenly put force into her hit, dropping the ball right in front of Manie York.

And scored another point.

With time elapsing, it was clear who the victor was.

But Manie York refused to accept defeat. Therefore, when a ball, bizarrely aimed by Raine Nolan, came flying over, she raced toward the referee, Anders Spence.

The trajectory of the ball suggested that if not intercepted, it would land in front of Cherry, within the court boundaries.

Realizing that, she made a desperate dive!

A whistle blow signaled the end of the match.

Manie York had successfully managed to return the ball, but she could not catch up to the score. She lost by two points.

Anders Spence announced the results.

It was at this moment that everyone noticed Manie York remaining knelt down on the ground, holding her arm.

"Manie, are you injured?" Cherry Foster asked.

"No, I’m just going to the bathroom."

She kept her head down, covering her arm as she began running toward the off-side, with frantic steps.

Cherry Foster: "Manie seemed a bit off, why did she run off like that, she didn’t even look at my second brother."

"Maybe... she got a hit?" Anders Spence suggested.

"Doesn’t seem like it, more like she’s hiding something from us. Could her period have started?"

"Whaaat?"

"Oh god, let me go and check on her." Cherry Foster quickly grabbed him and started walking, Raine Nolan hurriedly placed her racket down and followed the two.

As Chloe Collins watched Mane York’s retreating back, she sensed a peculiar, faintly familiar smell.

It was the smell of blood in the air.
