Claus, who was standing beside them, gnashed his teeth in fury.
Even if Jared did save Hailey's life before, she didn't have to go that far.
After all, Jared and Hailey weren't close to each other, whereas Hailey and Claus were childhood friends.
Hence, Claus just couldn't wrap his head around Hailey's actions.
Five minutes quickly passed, but no miracle happened.
Jared did not appear.
Chester let out a sigh, suddenly looking much older than before as he sat down on a stone bench.
Hailey's eyes lost their sparkle, too, and her expression was filled with sorrow.
Even Evangeline and Zain were disheartened and felt sorry for Jared.
“All right, time's up.”
Quindon stood up and swept his gaze over the crowd. He then announced, “I hereby announce that the competition begins now.”
However, as soon as he announced the commencement of the competition, a figure suddenly appeared atop the bell tower.
“Jared has appeared!” someone shouted.
Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward the bell tower.
They saw Jared's figure slowly appear with no injuries or bloodstains on him, and he appeared to be in good shape.
“Jared!” Hailey couldn't help but shout out in excitement at the sight of Jared.
She was so elated that tears of joy streamed down her cheeks.
Claus stood next to Hailey, trembling with anger as he clenched his fists tightly.
Meanwhile, on the high platform, Santiago furrowed his brows slightly when he noticed his daughter's excitement.
