Chapter 25
Jamar realized that engaging in verbal sparring with Phoebe and Maddox was completely self–defeating
He was countered each time, which left him quite frustrated. Particularly, Phoebe always sided with Maddox, leaving him, her brother, out in the cold. The more this happened, the more bitter Jamar fel. After all, Phoebe was his sister, not Maddox’s
His gaze toward Maddox now carried a few hostile undertones.
Originally, due to the previous quota incident, Phoebe had already been at odds with them.
Could this guy be trying to steal Phoebe away? He glanced at Phoebe and noticed her cold gaze
It can’t keep going like this. He couldn’t let Maddox take his sister away; he needed to find a way to bring her back.
As for his four brothers‘ suggestion to teach Phorbe a lesson first to let her know her mistake, he decided to set that aside for now. After all, he was the older brother, and letting his younger sister off once didn’t seem so bad.
It could also ease the tension and prevent Maddox from getting too smug.
He softened his tone as he asked Phoebe, “Are you cooking this afternoon!”
Although Sienna had recently been learning to cook seriously, Phoebe’s cooking was indeed much better.
Phoebe shot him a glance, replying, “Someone is treating us, no need for me to cook.”
Jamar was left speechless. He had originally planned to take the opportunity when Phoebe was cooking to mend their relations
At this time, Maddox noticed that Jamar’s attitude toward Phoebe was not quite right. And Phoebe, who was usually very easy to get along with, was very antagonistic toward Jamar and Sienna.
Then, he suddenly remembered he had heard someone mention the affairs of the Jenkins family previously.
It was said that the Jenkins family had found their biological daughter but hadn’t publicly acknowledged her identity or taken her to any events and still treated their adopted daughter like their own blood.
Maddox recalled how Jamar and Sienna interacted with Phoebe over the past two days and guessed that Phoebe was likely the long–lost daughter the Jenkins family had found after more than a decade
However, she had been treated unfairly in the Jenkins family, and that was why she didn’t want to bother with Jamar and Sienna, even despising them.
Maddox felt he had discovered the truth. With this thought, he became even more displeased with Jamar and Sienna
Phoebe doesn’t even want to bother with them, so why do they have to keep coming up? It’s really annoying. He looked at Jamar and said with a hint of showing off. “Don’t worry. When we eat later, I’ll take pictures and send them to the group chat. So you can see enough.”
Jamar was left speechless, cursing inwardly. Who the hell wants to know what you eat?”
He sneered sarcastically. “Well, I really appreciate that”
“You’re welcome. Since you like it, I’ll definitely satisfy you more in the future. Maddox curled his lips.
“This guy is as annoying as ever. Jamar thought, declining. “That won’t be necessary. It’s too much of a hassle
“It’s okay. I don’t mind the hassle, Maddox added cheerfully.
Jamar retorted inwardly, I find you annoying Can’t you understand that?
Since it was live, he managed to restrain himself and didn’t voice his true feelings despite being both angry and resentful.
Seeing his angry face, Phoebe secretly ly thought he deserved it, and Maddox looked more pleasin
pleasing to her.
Just as she finished arranging the dishes on the table and hanging the basket with meat over the well, David came over to invite the four of them to dinner at his home.
To show gratitude for Phoebe and Maddox’s life–saving help, the Haynes family went to town to buy chicken, ducks, and fish and prepared a hearty feast of dishes.

Chapter 25
Before eating. Maddox took out his phone to snap a photo, which he posted in the group a while later,
On the other side, to put on a show, Sienna even took on the tasks of washing and cutting vegetables herself this time.
She put in a lot of effort to prepare a table of dishes, arranging them beautifully on the plate.
The other three each took a bite, finding them passable but rather plain in taste. Erika even felt they were not as good as the work meals she had on
Just then, a notification sound came from their phones. Upon opening it, they saw a photo posted by Maddox in the group chat.
The food on the table in the photo, while not as presentable as in a restaurant, looked rich in variety and probably had a decent taste.
The four, including Sienna, suddenly lost their appetite. However, having done a lot of work during the day, they were hungry and had to continue cating
After a while, several more notification sounds rang out.
They clicked on it like self–torturers, only to see Maddox taking a selfie while biting into a drumstick.
He sent a message. This braised drumstick smells so good, thumbs up!]
Maddox: [Not only does this shrimp smell good, but it also has a hint of sweetness, delicious!]
Maddox: [First time with vanilla pork ribs, yummy!]
Lexie: [The vanilla pork ribs kills! Smell so good.]
James prefer the fried bacon; it’s better than what Tve had before.]
Jamar couldn’t help but say, I want to block Maddox
Reece chimed in, I feel the same way”
Maddox was a top star, and saying such things on livestream could easily get them boycotted by his fans
Jamar had no choice but to stop what he was doing upon hearing her. Although he wasn’t happy inside, he habitually showed a doting smile. “Alright, whatever you say.”
When Erika lowered her head to eat, she pursed her lips, complaining inwardly, One is hypocritical, and the other is too unconditionally doting. If Jamar had a girlfriend, would it be his girlfriend or Sienna, who matters more!
But it seems now he would most likely jump in to save Sienna if his girlfriend and Sienna fell into the water at the same time. With this thought in. mind, she suddenly felt rather bored, and her liking for Jamar diminished considerably.
In the live chat, fans shipping the sibling relationship were cheering about how sweet
