She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 158

But this was absolutely not the time to lose her cool. Throwing a massive tantrum now wouldn't help Caleb at all; in fact, it would likely just make him a target for public backlash.

"Yara, please sit down. It doesn't matter if Caleb doesn't take first place. An award from a rigged competition means absolutely nothing anyway, and I'm sure Caleb knows that."

"Mommy~~"

Luna leaned in close, practically vibrating with excitement, her sweet voice brimming with absolute faith in her brother.

"I know Caleb is going to beat him! Leo is a dirty cheater, so he definitely won't win!"

Yara vehemently agreed. "Luna is exactly right. Cheaters never win. Our brilliant boy is going to wipe the floor with him."

Looking up at the stage, Quinn was deeply moved by how incredibly grounded and effortlessly calm her son appeared, completely unfazed by the pressure.

She needed to trust him. Even when faced with insurmountable odds, that tiny boy was capable of unleashing explosive, undeniable power.

It was true. Caleb had always given her that kind of awe-inspiring confidence, ever since he was a baby.

As his mother, she believed in him completely.

Caleb's prompt was up next. An illustration appeared on the screen, and he was instructed to provide a brief English analysis of the image.

When the audience saw the picture, a collective gasp ripped through the crowd, followed by furious whispering. "Are these prompts getting exponentially harder?"

"Leo's picture was just 'The Little Match Girl.' This kid got Hemingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea'!"

"Andersen's fairy tales are simple, magical stories. 'The Old Man and the Sea' is incredibly profound! It's a gritty struggle of an adult fighting against destiny itself!"

"One is soft and whimsical; the other is bleak and unyielding. They're worlds apart! How is a toddler supposed to analyze that?"

Yara's eyes bulged when she saw the prompt. She shot to her feet, ready to scream about the blatant injustice, but Quinn forcibly yanked her back down into her seat.

"Yara, don't do anything reckless."

Yara hissed in fury. "This is completely, utterly unfair!"
