Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 248

Christina smirked internally.

From those words, she knew that Holly was only here to take a look at her design.

Couldn’t she have come up with a better excuse? Does she think I’m stupid? Like I’d show her my design just because she asked for it!

“Sorry, but I’m going to bed. Let’s talk another day.” With that, Christina slammed the door shut.

Holly stood outside in a daze before cursing to herself. “Godd mmit, Christina! Who do you think your are? The fact that I’d even ask to look at your design shows that I actually deem you worthy!”

If it wasn’t because you had some somewhat decent designs in the past few rounds, I wouldn’t even look at you! What makes you think I’d stand next to someone who graduated from a lousy school?

The contestants were given only one day, so everyone stayed in their rooms and worked on their designs except for when it was time for meals.

Christina had spent the night drafting her design, and things were going well for her.

Suddenly, a growl from her stomach reminded her that she hadn’t had breakfast.

Hence, she grabbed a jacket, put it on, and headed downstairs. The dining area was full of ingredients, but contestants were required to cook their own food.

Christina made herself a dish with tomatoes and beef, spending less than twenty minutes to fill her tummy.

Recalling that her design was still lacking color, she rushed back upstairs so she could finish her draft.

Then, she noticed that her door was slightly open.

Her gaze darkened as an ominous feeling rose within her. She was sure she had closed the door before leaving.

However, contestants would leave their doors unlocked while outside as they didn’t have the keys to their

rooms.

Christina entered just in time to see Holly leave, and the two stood in front of each other, face to face.

“What are you doing in my room?” Christina asked icily.

She made her intentions clear last night, and now she snuck into my room while I was out. Isn’t it obvious what she’s after?

A look of panic flashed in Holly’s eyes as she rushed to hide whatever she was holding behind her. She had not expected to bump into Christina.

In a split second, the woman pretended to scan the room’s interior before responding. “I thought this was my room.”

Christina smirked. Our rooms are just across each other’s, but mine is right next to the stairs! There’s no way she could’ve gotten our rooms mixed up.

Stealing Her Design

“You’re already drunk before even having a sip of alcohol this morning?” she sneered,

Insulted by her frankness, Holly turned beet red.

Even so, she knew she was in the wrong and could say nothing to retaliate.

Christina stepped forward to block her way. “What’s that you’re holding behind you? Is it my design?”

It was my mistake for not carrying my draft with me. I’d be in big trouble if she actually found it.

Scowling, Holly took a step back and held her phone even more tightly. “Oh, please! Why would I steal your design? Have some self-awareness about the difference between us, would you? I wouldn’t bother looking at your design even if it were right in front of me!”

She gave Christina a shove and fled with a hint of guilt on her face.

Then, she slammed her door shut and locked it upon returning to her own room.

Christina turned around to check her notebook. Thankfully, it appeared untouched and remained where it originally was.
