Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 92

“Plus, she’s good-looking as well. I guess there’s no hope for us in this event.”

“I’m so jealous of her.”

The participants gathered in groups as they whispered to one another with envious eyes on Melanie. However, some of the participants—whose families were well-off—felt slight discontent toward Melanie.

“It’s all thanks to her family being rich. Her beauty is nothing to look at.”

“Right? You can’t just win based on money alone in a competition by the Luke Corporation. I think her looks are just about average.”

“If she’s really good, she would have just debuted straight away. Why would she be here with the newcomers? To steal our thunder?”

Melanie was extremely pleased as she listened to the praises the others had for her and paid no mind to the malicious comments about her.

Like a model walking down a runaway, Melanie walked over to the wealthy girls, who were badmouthing her, in a prideful manner before telling them off in a patronizing tone. “You girls should pay mind to what you all are saying. Though we’re all here for the selection, you girls better sharpen your vigilance since not just anyone would allow you all to spout nonsense behind their backs.”

Melanie’s boldness startled the girls. Though they were reluctant to give in to her, the girls did not dare to retort as they could not afford to offend someone who had the capability to wear such an expensive dress.

Melanie was extremely pleased as she watched the girls stay silent with angry expressions on their faces. After taking a glance at the girls, she then went back to her spot loftily, like a peacock that came by just to show off her beauty.

By this time, the staff had already begun preparations for the entrance ceremony.

The participants would enter in turn according to their audition scores and be given a personalized introduction as they faced the cameras. Melanie was to be the 10th participant to enter.

Currently, the participants were putting on their finishing touches and waiting for the broadcast to go live with the best expression they could muster on their faces. It was at this time that Melanie felt a slight tinge of nervousness at the thought of seeing Hanson in a little while more.
