‘Am I scared of losing?‘ thought Emmanuel.
While Emmanuel wouldn’t easily succumb to provocation, he subconsciously disliked losing to
Malcolm.
With a smile, he said, “Okay, two o’clock in the afternoon then. I’ll be there on time.”
When Emmanuel arrived at the badminton court in the afternoon, Malcolm was already there.
Observing Emmanuel wearing the smoky grey coat again, Malcolm’s expression turned gloomy with a
hint of chillness.
As if attempting to provoke Malcolm further, Emmanuel took off the coat, carefully folded it, and placed
it on the long bench. While doing so, he remarked, “Strange to say, ever since Tabitha helped me with
this coat last. time, it felt so warm that I’m reluctant to wear anything else.”
Malcolm rolled his eyes and turned to look at Emmanuel slowly.
At that moment, his eyes were as cold as knives.
Emmanuel subconsciously shut his mouth.
After getting ready, Emmanuel chuckled and said, “I haven’t played badminton for a long time. Please
show me some mercy later.”
Malcolm also removed his coat, lowered his eyes, and gradually rolled up his sleeves, exposing his
muscular and powerful forearms, exuding an inviolable and majestic aura.
Upon hearing Emmanuel’s words, Malcolm raised his blue eyes to look at Emmanuel and smiled
faintly. “You had better do your best.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The race began soon.
Malcolm also invited several other business partners to join them, forming a four–man double.

Emmanuel was the first to serve the shuttlecock, and Malcolm caught it effortlessly.
Malcolm was skilled at the game. His swing was steady and powerful, sending the shuttlecock through
the air right past Emmanuel, brushing against the latter’s face.
Despite the shuttlecock’s lightweight, it stung Emmanuel’s face.
Emmanuel’s expression darkened.
Malcolm raised his chin slightly, and his blue eyes resembled a calm sea, exuding an inviolably noble
aura.
He gazed at Emmanuel and said, “Emmanuel, I told you to go all out.”
“Today, I will let you know that no matter how hard you try, you can’t defeat me!‘ thought Malcolm.
Malcolm’s stamina proved formidable, his swings becoming faster and more powerful, gradually
overwhelming Emmanuel.
The two other business partners, who had now become background figures, began to realize that
Malcolm was intentionally targeting Emmanuel.
They decided to stand far away, observing as the heir of the Sinclair family harshly taught Emmanuel a
lesson.
Thanks to his years of training, Malcolm remained more physically fit than Emmanuel despite having
just recovered from an injury.
Emmanuel was sweating profusely after the game, while Malcolm seemed unfazed, and his eyes held
a cold and contemptuous gaze.
The business partners who had enjoyed the scene immediately surrounded Malcolm, flattering him.
A faint coldness emanated from Emmanuel’s eyes. Clenching his fist, he tried to suppress his anger
and sincerely praised, “You are truly amazing,

Malcolm. I admit defeat.”

Malcolm’s smile carried a hint of coldness, but his voice remained flat. “It’s good that you admit defeat.”
‘Now that you have admitted defeat, get out of Tabitha’s sight, Malcolm added silently.
After the game, the cousins prepared to change their clothes before leaving, only to discover that their
coats were missing.
The person in charge of the court, Fred, was frightened out of his wits upon hearing that the clothes of
the two distinguished guests had disappeared.
It was known that these wealthy young men would wear highly customized coats, and they were
exorbitantly expensive.
If the coats were indeed lost, he wouldn’t have the means to compensate
for them.
Fred mobilized all the staff to look for them and quickly found the two coats in the trash.
Unfortunately, the coats had been cut to pieces and had turned into a pile of junk.
Fred’s face turned pale instantly.
Emmanuel looked down at the pile of broken coats in the trash, and his gaze turned completely cold
while his body exuded an aura of creepy coldness.
Malcolm observed Emmanuel’s gloomy expression and unexpectedly found himself in a good mood.
He normally wouldn’t do such a childish thing, but at that moment, he felt a genuine sense of
satisfaction!
Fred wiped his cold sweat and reiterated that he could promptly check the

Malcolm suddenly remarked, “There’s no need to make a fuss out of it. It’s just two coats anyway.”
He then looked at Emmanuel and said, “Emmanuel, you wouldn’t be so cruel as to demand the court to
pay for a coat, would you?”
Emmanuel instantly understood what was going on at that point.
Malcolm had invited him to play badminton partly as a warning against wishful thinking and partly to cut
up his coat.
Emmanuel released his clenched fist instantly and said with a relaxed expression, “You are right,
Malcolm. It’s just a coat. Let’s not make a fuss.”
Fred heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that the two scions before him wouldn’t press on the matter
and thanked them repeatedly.
Although Emmanuel did not check the surveillance footage, Alaric found out about it.
Given the status of the Sinclair family in Xosa, it was highly unlikely that anyone would dare to steal
their family member’s clothes, deliberately cut them into pieces, and dispose of them in a manner that
could be easily. discovered.
It was a clear provocation!
Alaric immediately sent someone to get the surveillance footage. After some investigation, he found
that it was Malcolm who did it.
He rushed to the hospital in a fit of anger, trying to get an explanation. from Malcolm..
When he arrived at the ward, he heard the doctor talking to Malcolm.
“You have been recuperating in the hospital for nearly two months. If you want to be discharged, I can
issue a certificate for you, Mr. Sinclair,” informed the doctor.
Contrary to expectations, Malcolm didn’t seem as happy as anticipated. Instead, he expressed
unhappiness, saying, “It takes time for any injuries to heal. I’m injured so badly, so I need to be
hospitalized for at least another month.”
The doctor was speechless.
