Chapter 698

“Okay.” Elise didn’t leave any room to discuss and switched the number balls. Then, she left.

Tiana was stunned while holding the number 25 ball. The other contestants cheered, but she couldn’t even squeeze out a smile.

Elise likes to have her own way and can’t take a hint.

She can go before me, but that will do nothing for her. Every judge knows I am the highlight of this competition. Before my work comes out, all judges will definitely reserve a high score for me.

Elise Sinclair, you won’t be happy for long!

Elise wasn’t comfortable with Tiana’s gaze on her. She was afraid she couldn’t control herself and gave Tiana a tight slap or two. Hence, she went to the washroom to hide in peace.

However, after washing her face, Elise heard a low sobbing coming from inside a cubicle.

The crying stopped after a while and the door opened. A short-haired girl in a school uniform came out with red eyes.

The girl was also a contestant. She placed her number ball on the sink and turned on a faucet to wash her face.

Elise glanced at the number. It was number 26, the next one after Tiana.

The girl was strong. After calming down, she took a few deep breaths before the mirror and returned to normal.

However, her phone chose that moment to ring.

She panicked and answered the call, holding the phone to her ears with both hands. “Hello? Mom, no! Please don’t send me to the orphanage! I will definitely get into the top three in the Calligraphy Contest. Please, I don’t want to leave. Okay. Thank you, Mom. I will bring a prize back home. Thank you!”

Unlike the girl’s humble attitude, the person on the other side of the call seemed impatient as she hung up the phone without waiting for the girl to finish her words.
