Chapter 733
But now that the moment was here, Decker’s hand trembled. He couldn’t bring himself to touch it.
*Knock, knock.*
A soft rap on the door.
Decker glanced back. “Come in.”
His younger brother, Plumley Blake, entered. “Hey, bro.” He held out a bowl of chicken noodle soup. “Mom said you haven’t had much of an appetite lately, so I made this for you. Give it a try?”
“Thanks,” Decker said, taking a sip. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn.net
“We’re brothers, man, no need for thanks!” Plumley grinned. “If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day.” He paused, scratching his head. “Actually, bro, there’s
something I wanted to ask you
“What is it?” Decker looked up.
Plumley sighed. “Gwyn’s parents are pressuring us to get married again.”
“I already bought you a house and a car, didn’t I?” Decker frowned. Plumley hadn’t gone to a good college, but he was handsome and cycled through girlfriends, unlike Decker, who girls avoided because of his appearance.
“Yeah, I’ve got the house and car, but I still need a job,” Plumley said. “Hey, bro… what if you gave me your account?” He watched Decker’s face carefully. “My gaming skills are just as good as yours, plus I’m handsome. If I go on camera and clear up those bullying rumors for you, your fanbase will explode!”
Decker put down his spoon. “Or I could just clear them up myself.”
“You?” Plumley scoffed, his expression turning ugly. “Don’t be ridiculous. Looking like you do now, you’d scare your fans to death.”
*Scare them to death The words landed like a blow, and a wave of desolation washed over Decker. It wasn’t just strangers who were cruel. It was his own brother, too.
Just then, his mother walked in. “Decker, just give the account to your brother. You’re family, not
strangers. It’s not like he’ll forgernet
about you when he’s rich. Besides, he’s doing this for your own good. You’d definitely frighten your fans if you streamed looking like that But your brother is different if you give him the account, it solves his job problem and clears your name online. It’s a win-win.”
Decker looked up at his mother, his expression a mixture of pain and resignation. He’d often heard that. there was no parent on earth who didn’t love their child. But had his mother ever truly loved him? Just because he had scars, just because he looked like a monster her love had never reached him. When came time for college, he had scored better than his brother, yet she had spent a fortune to send Plumley to university while refusing to support his education.
Now, when his career was in jeopardy, her first thought wasn’t to help him through it, but to find a way to bleed him dry. All his life, he’d felt Starved of her affection. He had bought his brother a house and a car just to win a sliver of her approval. Cóntent
Seeing Decker’s silence, his mother’s face hardened. “Decker, think about it. How can you show your face to anyone looking like that? Don’t act so reluctant. If you weren’t his brother, Plumley wouldn’t even bother helping you!”
Plumley nodded in agreement. “Mom’s right! You’re getting a great deal and still acting ungrateful!”
“Thank you, but I don’t need your help,” Decker said, his gaze fixed on Plumley. “You don’t need his help? What does that mean? Don’t you realize you’ll scare people to death looking like that?”
“I’ve been using the Jade Glow Balm. My face will heal.”
Plumley burst out laughing. “Jade Glow Balm? That’s just corporate hype to rip off suckers! Bro, I’m not trying to be mean, but your face is what it is. It’s never going to change.”
