Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697

On second thought, Rebecca realized what was going on.

Darren’s parents ran an import–export business, so it made sense that he had picked up such excellent French from them.

There were no surprises in the scoring. Darren shot straight to first place, breaking the previous ranking. Vande took second, and Catherine placed third.

If only the top two contestants would advance, Catherine would be eliminated.

Watching Catherine’s dejected expression, Rebecca felt a wave of relief, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted from her chest. None of the remaining contestants managed to change the ranking until it was/Rebecca’s turn.

When she walked to the waiting area backstage, she once again met Catherine’s hostile, challenging glare. / Rebecca gave her a small, cool smile and whispered, “Stealing my topic didn’t do you much good, did it?”

Catherine’s face darkened with anger. She looked ready to explode but quickly forced a cold, mocking laugh. ” Rehashing someone else’s material is even more pathetic. I lost to Darren fair and square, but you have no chance of beating me.”

“We’ll see about that,” Rebecca replied with a smile, focusing on preparing for her presentation.

The second Catherine spotted Vance walking over, her expression flipped on a dime. “Good luck, Rebecca!”

Vance stopped right in front of Rebecca.

She frowned. “I’m up to compete next. What’s up?”

The last thing she needed was for him to mess with her mood and throw off her performance.

“Don’t stress.” Vance’s face was stony, sounding like a stern dean. “Just speak from the heart. My offer still stands. If you really want to make it to the city finals, I can step down.”
