Chapter 270: Chapter 277: Let’s Compete Together

"Brother-in-law, sis, are you guys okay?" As the door opened, Emily Lopez walked in with a giggly smile.

Gina Lopez cracked a small smile and said, "Emily, I’m telling you seriously today, if you like your brother-in-law, you also have the right to pursue him. I, Gina Lopez, won’t oppress you by playing the sister card. If you like someone, you should go for them. I want to defeat you fair and square, so you won’t have any hard feelings later."

Emily Lopez’s eyes widened in shock as she glanced at Gina Lopez and then at James Brown, before scrunching up her cute little nose and saying, "Are you running a fever?"

Gina Lopez rolled her eyes at her sister, annoyed, and said, "I’m giving you a chance here. If you don’t take it, don’t blame me later."

Emily Lopez turned her gaze back to James Brown, who immediately said, "Emily, don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense. She is not thinking straight today."

Emily nodded vigorously and said, "I thought so too. What’s wrong with you, John, what did you do to her?"

Gina Lopez, feeling rather downcast by their tag-team act, huffed and said, "Emily Lopez, this is your own choice to give up. James, let’s go cook."

With those words, Gina Lopez stood up, took James Brown’s arm and pulled him towards the door.

James Brown wanted to pull his arm away, but Gina held on tightly. Unless he used real force, he wouldn’t be able to get away. With a helpless smile, he followed Gina Lopez out of the bedroom.

Emily Lopez shook her head vigorously, feeling that her mind wasn’t working well. Why did she feel that Gina Lopez was serious today? Could it be that her sister had really started liking her brother-in-law?

Upon realizing this, Emily’s face lit up with glee. If her sister really liked James Brown, then the possibility of him truly becoming her brother-in-law was real.

"No way! My sister is a dummy who knows nothing about dating. Even if she likes brother-in-law, she definitely won’t be able to make him willingly be with her. I still need to stoke the fire, only then can I truly help them get together."

As her eyes sparkled with mischief, Emily Lopez quickly came up with a cunning plan, and shouting excitedly, she ran out of the bedroom.

James Brown really wanted to escape, but Gina Lopez refused to let him go. To make matters worse, she even hid his shoes for fear that he would run away. James couldn’t possibly go out barefooted at this point, so he ended up making a sumptuous dinner, hoping that after Gina Lopez, his pseudo wife, and Emily Lopez, his pseudo niece, had their fill, they would finally set him free.

In the past, Gina Lopez wouldn’t even come to the kitchen to help, let alone to watch, but today she had donned an apron and was bustling around the kitchen, playing assistant to James Brown.

"Look, Gina, my Boss Lopez, could you please not ’help’ here? I can manage on my own," James Brown said, unable to tolerate Gina’s ’assistance’ any longer. She was throwing away the good parts of the vegetables and keeping the bad, even the ingredients that James had prepared neatly. Once Gina butted in, everything became a mess again, and James finally couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to shoo her out of the kitchen.

Gina Lopez didn’t take offense and said with a beaming smile, "I know I’m not good at this, but you could teach me how to do it."

"You’re really not cut out for cooking; you’re better off managing the company."

"How could that be? As a woman, I must be conscious of my duties as one. I can’t be ignorant of everything; otherwise, you’d get angry, right?"

"Why would I be angry with you? Please, I beg you to just leave. Emily, do you still want to eat? Hurry up and pull your sister out of here," James Brown pleaded with Emily as he looked at Gina’s stubbornness.

Emily Lopez burst into the kitchen with a giggle and said to Gina while hugging her own shoulders, "Old sis, please stop showing off your non-existent skills, okay? Things like this, I work better with my brother-in-law."

Gina Lopez glared and retorted, "Are you any better than me?"

"Of course!"

Gina Lopez scoffed dismissively, "Give me a break, you can’t cook either."

Emily Lopez proudly tilted her delicate chin up and said, "Even though I can’t cook, when I’m here with brother-in-law, I chat and lighten the mood, unlike you making a mess here."

Gina Lopez was still unconvinced, but seeing the distressed look on James Brown’s face, she reluctantly said, "Alright, I won’t ’help’ anymore. I’ll just stay and chat with you."

James Brown glared at the two of them and said, "The kitchen is only so big, how can I even move around with you here? Plus, with your delicate skin, if you get splashed by hot oil, then I’ll have to attend to you two princesses. Please just go out sooner rather than later."

Gina Lopez finally left the kitchen unwillingly, and Emily promptly dragged her to the living room to sit down. Emily said with a cheery smile, "Old sis, was everything you said earlier for real?"

Gina Lopez raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I’m telling the truth."

Sandra blinked her eyes and said with a giggle, "Then you wouldn’t be afraid that if you can’t beat me, and brother-in-law marries me?"

"I’ve hardly ever lost to you from childhood to now, so of course I won’t lose to you this time either." Gina Lopez displayed a strong confidence at this point.

Sandra now also put on a proud expression matching Gina’s, and said, "That’s not necessarily true. I just couldn’t be bothered competing with you before, but I really like brother-in-law, and if you really let me compete, I might not lose to you."

"Is that so? Whatever you can do, I can do too. Don’t think that only you can please brother-in-law; I can too. It’s just that I didn’t like him much before, so I disdained to do so."

"Pfft, I don’t believe it."

"You’ll have to believe it. I’ve shared a bed with your brother-in-law so many times, at the very least, there aren’t as many barriers between us. Getting together is just a natural progression."

"Give it up, men like novelty. Your brother-in-law is no longer attracted to you. To him, I’m the fresh one."

"You... let me tell you, you can compete with me in fair ways, but don’t you dare use your body... to seduce brother-in-law."

"Pfft, what era are we in now? If two people are willing, what’s so great about getting into bed together? Do we really need to wait until the wedding night?"

"You... that’s not okay! If I end up marrying brother-in-law in the future, and you’ve slept with him, what would that look like?"

"So what? I wouldn’t mind. Besides, you’ve hesitated for so long and haven’t let brother-in-law truly touch you. That just proves you’re not attractive enough to him."

"What do you mean ’not attractive enough’? It’s simply because I’m more reserved. That night... brother-in-law was all over me..." Even when facing her sister, Gina Lopez was too embarrassed to describe James Brown’s actions that night, which made her blush.

"So what happened?" Sandra’s interest was piqued, a thrilled smile appearing on her face, but then she quickly hid her smile and adopted a very anxious and worried expression.

Gina was only conscious of her own embarrassment and didn’t notice the changes on her sister’s face. What Gina saw in the end was Sandra looking worried. Biting her teeth, she said, "That night, brother-in-law and I were together, not even wearing our clothes, and in the end, he... got all over me. What more do you want?"

"Ah!" Sandra initially let out a low cry, then finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Gina Lopez was embarrassed and tried to stop Sandra from laughing, but Sandra just laughed more wildly, making Gina a bit angry out of shame, and she shouted, "What’s so funny?"

Sandra quickly suppressed her laughter and said, "Look, older sis, this means I have an even better chance. Even in that situation, brother-in-law didn’t actually do it with you, which further shows your lack of appeal. You know, men are creatures of their lower halves. In such a situation, how could they resist? If he wasn’t truly uninterested in you, how could he do that?"

Gina’s face darkened. She didn’t believe her sister’s words. James Brown’s behavior that day was certainly impulsive, almost reaching for her pants several times before forcibly restraining himself. This was clearly a responsible behavior. However, her sister’s interpretation made her feel somewhat unwilling to accept it. Could it really be that she wasn’t attractive enough? If not, why would James Brown and Sunny Nguyen be so unrestrained, being so loud every time?

Seeing that Gina wasn’t speaking, Sandra giggled and said, "Older sis, you also have a problem. At that time, you didn’t allow brother-in-law to do anything, which shows you weren’t fully committed either. If it were me, even if brother-in-law had reservations, I would take the initiative."

"Take the initiative... hmph, you’re not allowed to do that. I’m telling you, we can compete, but not with those methods, otherwise I won’t let you be part of it."

"Sigh, you really have a problem with your mindset. You’re like an old fossil. This way, I don’t even need to compete with you; brother-in-law will eliminate you by himself."

"Hmph, I don’t believe it. I’ll make him fall for me without letting James Brown into my bed."

Sandra knew her sister was very stubborn. It was impossible to enlighten her all at once, unless she hit a wall and was willing to change. Now Sandra was genuinely worried that if Gina remained so hesitant, by the time she figured it out, brother-in-law would already be someone else’s husband.

"No way, no way. I have to give her a potent dose of medicine, but how can I administer it effectively?" Sandra contemplated with confusion when suddenly the phone rang. Gina snatched it up to answer—it was a call from their mother.

Sandra’s eyes lit up. What her sister feared most was their mother’s nagging, and her sister was also extremely filial. If the potent medicine was to come from their parents, it would surely have an extraordinary effect.

The girl’s eyes began to whirl again, and soon a brilliant idea had already formed in her mind.
