Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 796

All the contestants took their places, and with the host's signal, the timer kicked off. Joy, trying to calm her racing heart, glanced at the number selector on the screen and picked number 23.

"We're in luck!" someone from Team Austenberg cheered as soon as the question popped up.

The question Joy got was moderately difficult, not too hard. She had secured the second-highest score in the first round, only behind Flora, so she felt confident she could ace it again.

Seeing the question, Joy let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, it’s not too hard.

She quickly started working through the questions. The first one was easy, the second one a bit tricky, but she managed.

Then came the third question...

The further Joy went, the more she started to sweat. The questions looked straightforward but were filled with traps. One small mistake and she'd get it wrong.

Given her current knowledge, cracking them was tough.

Joy’s hand, gripping the stylus, began to tremble subtly. She felt the weight of everyone’s eyes on her. After such a stellar performance in the first round, if she couldn’t solve these, how would they see her?

Determined, she kept guessing and scribbling down every formula she knew for the questions she couldn’t crack.

“Oh no, she totally messed that one up!” someone from the audience shouted as Joy moved to the next question.

Mr. Tanner was equally distressed.

How could she miss it?

It was such an easy one!

Joy should have nailed it!

Was it the pressure getting to her?
