Book 3 She Becomes Glamorous After Her Engagement Annulment Short Story

Chapter 1014: C, the God of Gaming pt.1 Ten years later. The plane drew a long trail across the sky. At the San Francisco International Airport. Cheryl slowly walked out of the airport with an extra-large 32-inch pink suitcase. The sixteen-year-old girl had pretty and delicate facial features and did not have any makeup on her flawless and tender skin. Her hair was up in a half-bun, and she wore a white dress cinched at the waist. She looked just like a fairy, causing people all around to look at her. There were even people who thought that she must be a celebrity of some sort. Cheryl was already accustomed to the way people looked at her. She was simply too good-looking. She and her brothers were always the center of attention wherever they went. There was nothing they could do about it. She let out a quiet sigh and then picked up her cell phone to see that there were already a few messages in the family group chat. Justin: ‘Are you there yet?’ Peter: ‘She should have gotten off the plane by now, I think?’ Alexander: ‘She isn’t there yet? But I just called the airport, and they said that she has definitely arrived.’ Justin: ‘@Cheryl, reply once you’ve reached.’ Cheryl: “…” The corners of her lips spasmed, and she let out another silent sigh. Yet she also inexplicably felt like she had just flown out of a cage. She was simply so excited! At last, she could finally escape her three fathers’ control. The way her two brothers cared for her practically made them her fathers. Only her mom was slightly more normal among everyone in the family. For example… Now that she had grown up, she wanted to play in an e-sports tournament and fulfill her childhood dream, however, just convincing her brothers and her father alone had taken so much work! In the end, her mom had to step in. With just a single sentence, she allowed her to escape from the hellish scene and shut her brothers and father up. She sighed quietly and replied: ‘I have reached. I’m busy, so let’s talk in the evening instead. Leave me alone!!!!!’ It was only after she sent the five exclamation points in a row that she finally stopped the three men who wanted to call her. After putting down the phone, she looked at the pick-up area ahead of her. That’s right. She had found a team she had high hopes for and decided to join them. The team had been sending her private messages in the game for many years, but she had been too young then. Her father had stated that she could only go on trips by herself after she turned sixteen, so she had declined all their invitations in the past. She looked at the area in front and finally spotted two boys looking at her holding a placard. Written on the placard was her in-game alias—God C. She had already given up her sweetcherry account a long time ago because she found the name too childish now that she was all grown up. Thus, she took the first letter from “cherry” as her new in-game name. Her in-game name was C, but everyone called her God C. Cheryl walked toward the pair. As soon as she went near, she heard them discussing something in low voices. “Who on earth is God C? She’s so mysterious. There has been a lot of speculation over the years that she’s not a girl but a guy instead!” When one registered for an account in the game, they had to state their gender, and Cheryl had picked “Female”, of course. Therefore, outsiders knew that C was female. It was just a pity that nobody believed it as they felt that it was impossible for girls to achieve such results in the game. The other person replied, “I don’t know, man. God C only joined after our gunner retired… I heard that the coaching team had contacted her long ago, but she rejected them.” “Everybody says that God C has never shown her face all these years because she isn’t good-looking… Actually, I think she is a guy, but still, the coaching team was too hasty! Our life as e-sports competitors basically ends at 25 years old. Once we pass the age of 25, our reaction time and muscle movement will slow down… But God C had already dominated the game seven to eight years ago. Even if she was 16 years old seven to eight years ago, she would still be 25 now! Is she really up to the task?” “Yeah… Captain threw a fit in the club because of this too, sigh!” “Is our club out of money? Going by our boss—Chester Hunt’s—personality, that shouldn’t be the case, though. How nice would it be if he just head-hunted an expert player from abroad at a high price instead?” Yup, the club that Cheryl was joining was founded by Chester, her uncle. Cheryl stood in front of the pair. However, the pair was in a hurry to find God C, so one of them took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll give God C a call. I have her number!” After he spoke, he dialed Cheryl’s number. Chapter 1015: C, the God of Gaming pt.2 When the ringtone rang out next to them, the pair who was there to pick up Cheryl stared at her blankly. Then, they saw the pretty, little princess-like Cheryl in front of them holding up her cell phone. In a soft and cute voice, she said, “Hello, I’m C.” “Hello, I’m C.” The voice echoed from the cell phone at the same time. The caller looked at her in disbelief and then stammered, “You… y-you’re God C?” Cheryl nodded. “Uh-huh!” She hung up. To be honest, it wasn’t so much that she didn’t want to directly identify herself. Rather, she knew that the two would never believe she was C even if she went to them directly. That was why she had stood in front of them and waited for them to call her and confirm her arrival. In this regard, Cheryl understood people like them all too well. After all, all these years, no one she knew believed that she was C, and some even thought she was lying… Now that the evidence was in front of them, the two staff members could only accept the truth, no matter how much they doubted it. “God C! Hello! We are from Club HS. Here, this way, please!” Cheryl handed the two her suitcase after they spoke, and one of them took it from her. Then, Cheryl walked ahead and asked, “Where is the car?” “It’s in the car park on B2.” Cheryl nodded. As the two behind her walked on, they suddenly felt like something didn’t feel right… Why did they seem like her subordinates and God C a queen high up in the air?! With this thought in mind, the two of them looked at each other. Then, the car took Cheryl straight to the club. Club HS was located in a villa district in San Francisco. Chester received dividends from his shares in the Hunt Corporation every year, so he had tons of pocket money that he couldn’t finish spending even if he wanted to. He also owned properties all over the country. Club HS had shown pretty good results all this time, so Chester had very generously converted a villa in a luxurious district into their clubhouse. When the car entered the district, Cheryl found herself slightly taken aback. “Is the clubhouse in this district?” “Yeah.” The person taking her to the clubhouse nodded. Then, he said proudly, “Our boss is super rich, so our club is known as one for the wealthy. All the club members are rich young men!” The guy thought that Cheryl was astonished by the locale because it was common for anyone who visited their clubhouse for the first time to be surprised by the district it was in. People living in this district were either rich or of high social status. It was undoubtedly an extravagant move to set up a clubhouse here. However, Cheryl merely nodded calmly. Afterward, she arrived at Villa No. 8. When the other pro players in the clubhouse heard the news of her arrival, all of them craned their necks and looked outside. God C was their idol. Many of them had been her fans since they were 16 and continued to this day. Thus, all of them wanted to see who God C was. The boy standing at the forefront was dressed handsomely in the team uniform. He rested both hands on his hips, and his whole demeanor screamed arrogance. After all, as the captain of Club HS, and even the one in charge of the design and planning department of the game league, Zac Stannard had always been very proud of himself. But now that God C was joining the club, was the club going to listen to him or to her from now on? Zac raised his chin arrogantly. Mildly unhappy with God C, he planned to trash her in a game and make her recognize his abilities… His teammates behind him were also talking about God C. “Judging from how much time has passed, God C must be at least 24 or 25 by now, right? Isn’t she too old to become a pro now?” “I don’t think she’s too old; the coaching team must have their reasons for doing what they did. They wouldn’t have invited God C to join the team if she didn’t have the skill…” “God C has never publicly shown her face, and everyone in the industry says that she is horribly ugly…” “Haha, God C has always been awfully stuck-up, and there were even rumors going around that she may be a rich heir to some business tycoon. I’m just waiting to see the look of astonishment on God C’s face when she sees that we live in such an awesome place. She will definitely be intimidated, right?” A car slowly came to a stop in front of him. Then, the door opened, and a sweet and beautiful teen girl stepped out of it. The girl was stunningly beautiful. Her exquisite beauty lit up people’s eyes and made it impossible for them to take their eyes off her, but… Zac frowned and reprimanded the two boys. “Where’s God C? Didn’t you two go to the airport to pick up God C? Why did you bring back some random minor instead of God C?” The two staff members stared at each other, both at a loss for words. Zac became even angrier. Just as he was about to speak again, Cheryl stretched out her hand to him. “Hi, I’m C.” Zac: “??” The teammates behind him who were waiting to catch a glimpse of C’s charming demeanor: “?” Chapter 1016: C, the God of Gaming pt.3 Everyone looked at Cheryl in astonishment and complete disbelief. Zac also frowned. However, he was more composed, so his reaction wasn’t too dramatic. The other members of the club, however, went into a huge furor after a moment of silence. “No way!” How could God C possibly be a young girl in her teens like her? Everyone started talking. “Hey, stop joking around!” “Yeah, I know everyone is down because we lost the last championship, but come on, don’t joke around with us like this!” “Although the sight of a pretty girl makes me very happy, we’re all still waiting for God C to carry us, you know…” Everyone piped up one by one, none of them believing that the girl was God C, no matter what. This was very understandable. C was already dominating the game ten years ago, but how young had Cheryl been back then? Nobody would ever think that Cheryl was C. Cheryl had long since become desensitized to such situations. Without hesitation, she took out her cell phone, started up the game app, and logged into her account in front of them. Everyone: “!!” Zac frowned, “Are you really C?” “Uh-huh.” Even the way Cheryl spoke was soft and cutesy, making her look like a child. Zac frowned and asked, “Kid, you don’t look like you’re of age yet, do you?” Cheryl replied seriously, “How can that be?” Zac heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it. Why would the club get a minor to compete in professional e-sports tournaments, right? However, the next moment, Cheryl added, “I’m only 15! I still have a long way to go before I turn 18!” Zac: “!!!” Cheryl certainly looked very young. If it wasn’t for her height, with her young and adorable facial features, she could even pass off as a 10-year-old… Zac had thought that she merely looked young. After all, in this day and age, it was nearly impossible to tell someone’s age once they put on make-up. He had thought that she was just pretending to be young and was at least in her twenties, but to his surprise, the kid was only fifteen? The corners of his lips spasmed. At this point, someone from the coaching team hurried over. He extended his hand to Cheryl respectfully and said, “Hello, God C! Welcome to the club! Why don’t we go in first? What are you doing standing outside?” Cheryl hesitated and glanced at Villa No. 9… The club consisted only of boys, so her uncle had already assigned her Villa No. 9 before her arrival. She only needed to walk a short distance over to report for duty every day. However, everyone was so enthusiastic that she ended up being ushered into the clubhouse. As soon as she entered, the head coach said, “God C, we took into consideration that you’re a girl, so we have connected two rooms into one upstairs and renovated it for you. Would you like to go up and have a look?” Cheryl: “…” Before she could move, her teammates picked up the pink suitcase for her and went upstairs. Cheryl could only follow after them… She thought about it seriously and decided that she would just stay in this villa for the next few days. She would bring up the topic of moving out after she became familiar with her teammates. Thus, she followed her teammates up the stairs. Lionel, a mid lane mage, was a young lively boy who looked like he was about 20 years old. He smiled and said, “Look! Isn’t your room big? We specially prepared this for girls. Even your room at home isn’t as big as this, right?” The two rooms had been connected into one, making the room look about 50 to 60 square meters big. For ordinary people, it was indeed considered sufficiently big. But when Cheryl thought of her suite in the New York villa… She gave him a polite smile. Zac smacked Lionel on the head. Zac could also be considered a rich heir, and his family was also well-known in San Francisco. He could tell that even though the girl was even-tempered and easy to get along with, her every move carried an air of extravagance. She was not a child raised in an ordinary family. Judging simply from how delicate she looked… Her entire self gave off an air of extravagance that only money could nurture. “Do you want us to help you clean up?” Zac asked. Cheryl was about to reply when her cell phone suddenly rang. She smiled apologetically at the coach and her teammates and said, “Sorry, I have to take a call.” Then, she answered the phone call. “Hello, sir…” She turned and walked out of the room. After closing the door, Cheryl looked at the phone and asked, “Is something the matter?” “It’s…” Her high school homeroom teacher’s voice came from the opposite end. “It’s about your college admission again. Another few schools have called and offered various attractive conditions in hopes that you would enroll in the schools. You…” Cheryl sighed. “Sir, I’ve already taken the college entrance examination this year.” That’s right. Cheryl had also skipped grades. Ever since she made a bet with her great-grandmother, she had started to study hard. Although she started late, her IQ was high enough, so she completed all the courses in five years and took the college entrance examination that summer. Of course, she had still played a lot of games during the past five years. Now that she was done with the college entrance examination, she had finally come to the club to compete as a professional e-sports player… The teacher nodded. “I know you have already taken the college entrance examination, but the schools have been urging me for an answer… Those are the top universities in the US, yet you refused recommendations and insisted on taking the college entrance examination… Never mind. Are you really going to wait for the scores to be released?” “Yeah.” Cheryl smiled. She had confidence in herself. “Okay.” The teacher also had confidence in her. Nevertheless, he said, “I heard that you’re going to compete professionally. Don’t forget to train every day!” “Got it.” After hanging up, Cheryl opened the door again and walked back in, where she saw the whole group looking at her. After hesitating for a while, Zac said, “Kid, you must be taking your high school entrance examinations this year, right? I still think you are too young. You should at least finish high school before you decide what to do for the rest of your life…” “Yeah!” The others nodded repeatedly. “Zac was a Harvard student. Back then, he took his college entrance examination and enrolled in the university. It was only after he made it into the team that he dropped out and became a professional player!” “Although we aren’t good at our studies, you should still study hard… By the way, did your teacher call you just now because the high school entrance exam results are out? Which high school did you get into? You’re a New Yorker, right? Zac lived in New York City for a while too! Do you want him to help you find a school or something…?” Cheryl: “???”
