She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 157

Watching from the sidelines, Wesley felt incredibly validated. He shared a look of sly, identical triumph with his nephew.

Jade and Macy eagerly competed to see who could cheer the loudest for the boy.

"Go crush them, Leo! That championship is as good as yours!"

Swelling with pride, Leo dramatically struck a confident pose on stage, his overwhelming arrogance practically rolling over the judging panel in waves.

"Miles, isn't Leo just amazing?"

Miles nodded, genuinely a little surprised.

He genuinely hadn't expected a boy of Leo's age to possess such an extensive vocabulary.

His delivery had been flawlessly smooth, though there was one glaring issue—it sounded suspiciously like he had rehearsed the entire thing beforehand.

But Miles quickly brushed the thought aside. He was probably overthinking it. Leo had done an exceptional job.

Macy gave Jade an enthusiastic thumbs-up, raining praises down on her.

"It's all because he has such a phenomenal teacher! With a top-tier translator like you guiding him, how could Leo be anything less than spectacular?"

Of course he was! He was a Winter! Much like his older brother, he excelled in every single subject imaginable.

Jade rapidly snapped dozens of photos and recorded multiple videos, immediately firing them all off to Judith.

When Judith saw the footage, she broke into a massive, unstoppable smile. The York bloodline truly was unparalleled.

She thrilled at the thought. Leo was remarkably talented, standing head and shoulders above his peers at such a young age. He had perfectly inherited his father's brilliant intellect.

She texted Macy: [Leo is thriving because he has Jade's strict, loving guidance.]

[Tell Jade I'll have a very generous reward waiting for her.]

Smiling, Macy flashed the message to Jade. "Jade, look... look at how much my mom adores you."

Jade practically vibrated with joy as she read the message, her lips pulling up into a sharp, triumphant smile.

But she quickly smoothed her expression into a mask of humble grace.

And since the prompts weren't drawn at random, but were predetermined, it was entirely foolproof.

"Yara, you're right. He had the answers in advance. He memorized the whole thing."

"What?! I knew it! So I wasn't just imagining things!"

Luna pouted, thoroughly upset. "But doesn't that mean it's completely unfair for Caleb?"

Yara clenched her fists, practically radiating righteous fury.

"Exactly! Some 'open finale' this is. The winner was predetermined from the absolute start. Did they just drag our Caleb here to act as set dressing?"

"This is completely, utterly unfair to him!"

No matter how brilliant Caleb was, he was doomed to be the runner-up.

"If I had known this whole thing was a rigged, corrupt mess, I never would have let him sign up in the first place!"

Quinn knew her son was being robbed, but the sting was infinitely worse knowing just how low Miles was willing to sink to secure a win for Jade's precious boy.
