Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 607 Would You Associate With Someone Like Me?

When she was done talking, she walked away with the tray.

The ones left behind did not understand what was happening, and could only exchange looks of uncertainty with one another.

Only Elise was in deep thoughts over what she had heard, as though she had an inkling of what was to come after putting the pieces of information together.

Just as expected, when they came back to the venue of the competition, the host was in the middle of announcing the people that made it into the finals. Alexis was among the names mentioned.

In an instant, the people around the venue started harboring complicated thoughts toward Elise’s group.

Plagiarism was never tolerated regardless of the industry. Yet, Alexis was not punished for it and was even selected as one of the finalists of the competition.

They had already determined how rigged the competition was and had no intention of changing their opinions on the matter.

The prior incident was still on the consciences of Tom and the others, which was why they opted to stay a low profile and out of the people’s attention.

Though they had done nothing to feel guilty about, they had failed to consider the actions appropriate to the circumstances. Even if what they did was right, they should not have done it in an imposing manner, especially not in a place where many eyes were on them. After all, what they did would incite an outcry from the public, which would lead things into a giant ball of mess.

Elise had another hand she could have played against the Saunderses but decidedly not to, as everyone would be the loser in the scenario. Alexis would be dragged into all kinds of brutal media manipulation. She would have been disqualified from the competition and this would stain her future as it would negatively affect her brand.

Fortunately, the advancement to the finals for both of the aforementioned participants had saved Elise a great deal of trouble.

It was at this time—with only 10 minutes left until the commencement of the finals—that Kenneth had entered the competition venue. Elise had decided to confront him after giving it a thought.

“You were the one who had arranged the list.” Elise’s tone carried a sense of confidence. “How did you pull that off with the organizers?”

As the corners of his mouth lifted, a smile gradually bloomed on Kenneth’s face. “An unusual circumstance warrants the use of an unorthodox method. The important thing is the results in the end.”

Elise knew of the ‘unorthodox method’ that Kenneth was referring to. It was nothing more than coercion and bribery, but ultimately it was a backdoor method. Those that had criticized Elise for her use of a backdoor method carried truth to them.
