Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679

Mommy didn't even say anything. God, they're so boring that exposing them isn't even worth it.

Tilly and Thea kept yammering, oblivious that the kids had seen through their obvious lies. They wanted to make everyone think Tilly was related to Vania and the Lukes, but all they managed to do was enrage the kids. Nobody can take advantage of our mother.

James crossed his arms and said coldly, "So annoying."

James' chilly tone stopped Tilly cold in her tracks. Is he talking about me? That's the first thing he says about me, and it's a complaint? "James…" She was looking at James intently, trying to come up with a response.

Before she could say anything, Jack said, "We're in a public area, and it's a competition too. At least stay quiet, you know? Talk about uncultured."

"Cut them some slack, Jack. Not everyone's privileged enough to learn about etiquette and culture."

"Culture's not the only thing they don't have," Jack mocked. They lack integrity too. Hypocrites.

Although they didn't name names, it was evident who they were talking about. Thus, they kept mocking Thea and Tilly without any intention of stopping.

Tilly was about to say something when they finally came to a stop, but Jude said, "Look, we're not going to get a nice watching experience if we have uncultured swines around."

Jacob stood up. "True. I think it's time for some VIP seats. It's quieter there."

"Yeah. It's reserved for us anyway." James also rose to his feet as he intended to leave.

"Jennifer and I are coming too, Hanson." Hanson and Jennifer followed behind the children as they walked to their reserved seats.

In the end, only Thea and Tilly were left in the regular seats. This was the first time Thea got the full experience of how merciless the kids could be, so she was still in shock.

"They're so cruel." Tilly was used to their behavior, but she was still irked. One couldn't buy the VIP spots with money. They were reserved for certain people; therefore, Tilly and Theo couldn't possibly get a place even if they wanted to.

"A shame." Thea was a little disappointed as she didn't even get a chance to have an actual conversation with Hanson.

They looked a little irked, and their eyes were on the VIP seats. Thea gnashed her teeth. "Everything rides on your submission now." Tilly was still young. Hence, it'd be astounding if her submission won the competition. I bet Vania's going to think highly of her then.

Tilly's smile disappeared at Thea's words. It was replaced by a certain maturity as a cunning look far beyond her age appeared on her face. She whispered, "Don't worry. Master Eddie did everything for us." She was one of the contestants, and her submission was provided by a famous designer under Eddie. It was possible to win the competition, and Eddie made sure to erase every trace. Nobody could find out she bought the submission.

"Memorized all your lines?" The submission had a story behind it. Tilly would have a chance on stage when she won the competition. As long as they gave her a chance to speak about her submission, she would definitely use the opportunity to become one of the Lukes.

"Of course." Tilly was confident about it. She wouldn't botch up a big job like this. If she made one wrong step and was discovered, she could never stay in Hammond anymore. Like Lilith, she would be just another abandoned chess piece.

It was time for the competition, and the host came to the stage while the music blared. "And now, it's time to begin the 50th Hillsworth Golden Design Competition."
