Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 138 The Competition Begins

The competition had started, and it was soon Evelyn’s turn to take the stage as the third performer.

Christina instantly became a fan girl, recording Evelyn’s performance on her phone.

Seeing her grandmother’s radiant smile made Christina realize that the trip had been worthwhile, regardless of whether she won a prize or not.

After the competition, Christina even helped Evelyn aid Francis take a lot of photos.

Francis appeared even more amiable than usual, and his good looks made him the center of attention at the event. Even those who did not dance with him also sought the opportunity to take photos with him.

After spending some time backstage, the three teams made their way back to the stage just as the host was about to announce the results.

The host held the name list and announced clearly, “The winner of the night is team number three!”

The spot light then hit on Evelyn and Francis.

Evelyn beamed with a glorious smile, exuding confidence that surpassed those of her peers. Her self- assurance alone made her the center of attention.

After announcing the runner-up and second runner-up, the host invited all the winners to the stage to take a group photo, capturing the moment as a cherished memory.

When it was time for the champion to take the photo, Francis walked down the stage and held his hand to invite Christina. “Shall we?”

The crowd turned their attention to Christina. She hesitated and wanted to decline his offer.

However, when she caught a glimpse of her grandmother’s eager gaze, she made up her mind and stood up.

Christina stood next to Evelyn, trying to maintain a distance from Francis. Francis gave her a baffling look before responding with a smirk.

“Can we have the champion team look into the camera? We’re going to take a photo now,” the photographer said.

Standing in the spotlight for the first time, Christina filt her nerves kick in. Her heart raced, but she still managed to maintain a polite grin on her face.

Since the competition was being live-streamed, viewers had the opportunity to watch the event in real- time both on television and online platforms.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel returned to Scenic Garden Manor after finalizing a contract, but to his surprise, Christina was nowhere to be found. He took a seat in his study, focusing on attending to his paperwork.
