My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 A Perfect Score

“I’m in,” Caroline agreed without hesitation.

Finished

She wasn’t passionate about fashion design, nor did she care whether she won the championship..

Today, she was here to beat Helen and show everyone what kind of person Helen really was.

“I’m in too,” Helen said with her head held high. She looked confident on the outside, but inside, her heart was pounding nervously.

With so many eyes on her, she had no choice but to move forward. There was no room to back down.

Luckily, she had a solid foundation. As long as she focused, she was sure she could outshine Caroline.

Soon, staff members brought out two sets of desks and chairs, along with all the necessary design tools.

A topic was displayed on the big screen for everyone to see.

After reviewing the prompt, the two women sat at their respective tables under the staff’s guidance and began their designs.

The crowd stared intently, watching their every move.

When they saw Helen drawing quickly and confidently, while Caroline just sat there staring at her blank paper without making a move, whispers began to spread.

“I think the champion looks more confident. Maybe her aunt really is just jealous and trying to bring her down.”

“I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. There’s still plenty of time. Let’s not be too quick to judge.”

“I believe in Caroline. The way she talked about her past just now was so genuine–it brought tears to my eyes.

Time ticked by slowly amidst the murmurs and speculation.

Helen felt relieved. The design topic was similar to something her professor had once taught back in college. This wasn’t hard for her at all.

They had two and a half hours to finish. Helen completed her design in under two.

When she looked up and saw that Caroline was still drawing, she couldn’t help but smirk.

Even the heavens are on my side.

This championship is meant to be mine. Who did Caroline think she was to dream of snatching it?

Finishes

From the corner of her eye, Caroline noticed that Helen had already finished. Still, she didn’t panic.

She remained completely focused on her sketch, working steadily until the very last second. Only then did she calmly raise her head and hand in her design

Just like in an official design competition, the entries would be judged by 12 panelists. Each would give a score, and the winner would be decided based on the total

Helen subtly leaned closer and whispered. “If you back out now, it won’t be as humiliating. Otherwise, once your score is announced, the crowd will drown you in their laughter and you’ll end up running offstage in tears.”
