Chapter 198 They're Jealous
Winning the championship, Elizabeth and her team also received a prize of seventy thousand dollars.
They came out from the special competition room at the back.
The two groups discussed which restaurant to go to for a celebratory dinner that night. As they chatted and laughed, they also made plans for how to make the most of their time together in the upcoming days.
With this prize money, they could all take the next three days off from work.
Nancy's group was ecstatic. No more budget traveling and working odd jobs; they could finally take it easy.
Nancy hugged Elizabeth's arm and sighed, "As expected, following Elizabeth means making money. It's awesome."
Ronald and Marlon also smiled in agreement, "We can finally take it easy now. Elizabeth is amazing! No wonder Raymond always sticks with Elizabeth. It's so satisfying to complete tasks effortlessly. Next time we get a chance, we want to team up with Elizabeth, too."
Nancy asked expectantly, "Elizabeth, do you need a sidekick?"
Their jokes were mixed with genuine feelings. Lately, seeing Raymond's posts in the group chat, featuring pictures of him enjoying delicious meals, drinks, and having a great time, had stirred up envy among all of them. They couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy towards Raymond, yearning to be in his shoes and effortlessly completing tasks with ease.
Elizabeth teased, "You guys, that's enough. Winning the championship and getting such a big prize is everyone's achievement."
She smiled warmly, "Today, it wasn't just me leading you to victory; it was everyone winning easily with their skills. If it weren't for the efforts and cooperation of you three, Raymond and I couldn't have won on our own. This is a five-person game, not a two-person one."
Elizabeth genuinely believed this. Raymond added, "Yeah, your performance today was great. Without your cooperation, we couldn't have won. So let's celebrate together tonight."
Hearing their words, everyone felt a sense of pride and camaraderie. While recognizing that Raymond and Elizabeth played key roles in their chances of winning, the rest of the team still found joy in being acknowledged for their contributions. They all agreed, "Yes, we must celebrate well tonight."
Upon hearing the words of Elizabeth and Raymond, their fans grew even fonder of them. If it were Brenda, she would have already taken all the credit.
Elizabeth and Raymond's humility won them even more fans, and Elizabeth's Facebook follower count continued to soar, reaching new heights.
This made many celebrities in the circle very envious. Elizabeth's rapid fan growth was truly jealousy-inducing!
When the two groups, in high spirits, walked out laughing, they saw Eugene's group of four.
Raymond raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you guys actually came."
He shook a stack of money in his hand at Eugene's group. "Oh dear, our two groups won so much money again. We don't know how to spend it. Having too much money is also a kind of trouble. I was going to ask you guys in the group chat. Since you're here, I won't post any pictures today."
He then smiled and asked, "Do you have any suggestions on how we should spend this money?"
Eugene's group fell silent. Raymond was clearly showing off to them.
Kevin couldn't help but complain, "When will you stop being so mean?"
Raymond retorted, "I'm just sharing my joy with you. What does that mean?"
Kevin's group fell silent. They really didn't need this kind of joy.
Kevin complained, "Just don't appear in front of us. Shut up."
Raymond fanned himself with the money, deliberately waving it in front of them. He sighed, "Jealousy makes you ugly. You guys are getting uglier. This is something you can't envy, and it's normal for you to be jealous."
He added, "It's not like Elizabeth would ever take you guys along."
Kevin's group fell silent, wishing someone would come and drag Raymond away to beat him up.
The more Raymond talked, the more upset they got.
They were indeed jealous.
It was not because these two groups could take it easy.
However, the fact that these people were completing tasks with Elizabeth made me feel uncomfortable.
Arnold glared at Raymond. "You're so mean. Can you still find a girlfriend in the future?"
Kevin chimed in, "What woman could stand you talking like that?"
Raymond had often embarrassed Brenda before.
Raymond sneered. "That's none of your business."
With that, he sneaked a glance at Elizabeth. He really wanted Elizabeth to be his girlfriend.
Elizabeth noticed Raymond glancing at her and thought he wanted her help.
So she glanced at Arnold and Kevin and shot back, "If you two can find girlfriends, Raymond has nothing to worry about. It's not like he's rude to everyone. Do you really not understand why he's rude to you?"
Seeing Elizabeth defending him, Raymond felt a sweetness akin to tasting candy.
Elizabeth was just that wonderful.
He raised his chin and looked at Kevin and Arnold, retorting, "Do you really not understand why I'm not rude to Ronald and Gilbert?"
If it weren't for these two protecting Brenda and bullying Elizabeth, he wouldn't have targeted them.
Kevin and Arnold fell silent, feeling even worse.
At that moment, they had to admit that they were very envious of Elizabeth defending Raymond.
If looks could kill, they would have killed Raymond already.
Eugene's gaze at Raymond was also very cold.
Raymond completely ignored their jealous looks.
At this moment, Natalie approached Elizabeth and praised, "Elizabeth, that shot you made earlier was amazing."
Her eyes lit up as she asked, "I often play this game too. Can I play with you in the future?"
Elizabeth smiled. "Sure! After this season ends and I get my phone back, let's add each other as friends and play together when we have the chance."
This way, they could contact each other openly.
Natalie couldn't help but quickly hug Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, you're the best!"
She screamed internally, 'I hugged Elizabeth! Elizabeth is indeed wonderful. Seeing Elizabeth's beauty up close is even more stunning and shocking.'
Elizabeth looked at her with a smile and said, "If we go to the internet café to play games these days, I'll call you."
Natalie nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, okay!"
At that moment, Eugene's group couldn't help but envy Natalie.
That traitor—they were being ignored, and only she could have close contact with Elizabeth. They were dying of jealousy.
