She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 321

The VIPs took turns standing up, unveiling the Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners in descending order.

First up was the Bronze Medal. The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause as the winner took the stage to deliver an acceptance speech.

Midway through the ceremony, both the Bronze and Silver Medals were officially announced.

Since two of the top three had already claimed Silver and Bronze, that meant the final Gold Medal naturally belonged to Jade Winter.

Lynn Reed, along with Cody and Luke, were practically bursting with excitement.

"Secretary Winter, the other two contenders only got Silver and Bronze. The Gold Medal is basically in your pocket."

"Congratulations, Jade!"

"You're amazing, Jade!"

Jade kept her eyes lowered, a faint, graceful smile on her lips. Feigning humility, she politely downplayed her own abilities, presenting a picture of perfect modesty.

Her friends only praised her harder.

"Jade, you're way too modest!"

"Exactly, Secretary Winter. Didn't you hear the crowd saying you absolutely deserve this? You're not only gorgeous but incredibly talented."

With gentle eyes and self-deprecating words, Jade put on a flawless display of being overwhelmed by the honor.

"It hasn't been announced yet, please don't jinx it."

Though she verbally insisted that nothing was finalized, deep down she was drunk on the vanity of being worshiped by the crowd.

"Here we go! They're about to announce the Gold Medal! The host is inviting the judges on stage."

Just as the audience held their collective breath, waiting for the literary titans to reveal the grand prize winner, a staff member suddenly rushed onto the stage.

He leaned in and whispered urgently into the host's ear.

The host's expression darkened, and the message rapidly rippled across the judges' panel.

The senior judges began whispering amongst themselves, flipping through the documents that had just been handed to them. Every single judge's face shifted into matching expressions of grave severity.
