"That's right, Thomas. Tell everyone what happened so that people won't misunderstand Demi!" Maria showed her support for Demi.
Thomas stayed silent before taking a deep breath. When he was about to say something, Ana ran to his side and tugged his sleeve. Then, she whispered, "Forget it. Let's be on Dr. Quinn's team, Thomas."
Thomas felt aggrieved, but he still went to the other team in the end. After that, everyone else continued choosing their teams. Wendy, Maria, Sally, and Tyler chose to be on Demi's team, while Caitlin was the only one who chose Herne.
Of course, the reason why Maria and the other two ladies were able to choose first was because they persuaded the others to let them go first. The ladies had used their charms to the fullest.
When it was Alex's turn, he walked to Demi's side and asked, "Demi, may I have the honor?"
He kept thinking that she wouldn't hate him that much since he wasn't the one who abandoned her in the car on fire.
"Get lost!" This time, Demi just spoke coldly without turning back at all.
Hearing that, Alex was speechless.
When Demi noticed that Alex hadn't left, she turned around and said coldly, "Would you like to explain our grudge to the public in Thomas' stead?"
However, Alex still said nothing. So, she said with an eyebrow raised, "Shall I say it for you?"
Seeing how he still wasn't moving, Demi was instantly infuriated. "Do you think I won't do it?"
"Can't we just get along?" Alex said sincerely with a frown. He was betting on the fact that she actually cared about them and wouldn't do anything rashly.
"Everyone, don't you think that Mr. Alex Pitt, Mr. Thomas Pitt, and I…"
She was going to mention how she looked similar to them, but before she could do it, Ana yelled miserably, "Shut up, Demi!"
Demi looked at Alex with a subtle smile. "Get lost now!"
"Alex..." Ana ran to Alex and dragged him away.
Meanwhile, the crowd fell silent.
