The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 387

"Don't worry. You don't have to say anything in today's contest. All you have to do is use the scissors, needles and thread in your hands to present what you want to express, and that's enough."

"Anyway, just try hard. No matter what the result is, it's a good challenge for you, isn't it?"

Derek's words contradicted his previous encouragement. He sighed to himself. Well, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Nora.

Nora broke free from his arms, looked straight into his eyes, and pursed her lips. "... I will try hard." To win the contest.

She knew very well that today's contest was not only for herself, but more for the Xavier Group and Derek. She seemed to have no choice but to win.

If, in the end, she lost...

Nora knit her brows at this thought. She couldn't help but think of the conversation between her and her friend Penelope, who had returned from a business trip from abroad two days ago.

The first thing Penelope said after she heard about the contest was...

"Then you have to win. Since the rules are set by Mr. Xavier, you have to take advantage of this good opportunity to get the theme first."

"Nora! Don't be so righteous and adamant. Now that things have gone this far, the contest itself doesn't matter anymore. What matters is the result."

"Keep in mind that only the winner has the right to speak. Who cares how you win the contest? No matter how admirable the loser is, if he loses, he's the loser."

"Those who haven't succeeded don't deserve to talk about dignity. If you want that, you can pick it up when you're standing at the top."

Every word from Penelope kept lingering in her ears.

Derek was the one setting the theme, and seemingly, he didn't intend to reveal it to her. Meanwhile, Nora had never asked him about the theme before, but now...

"Mr. Xavier, what's the theme this time?"

Nora heard her own light voice. It was really light, as if she hadn't said anything at all, but when she said it, she was relieved.

It seemed that asking Derek about the theme was not as difficult as she had imagined.

It was very quiet backstage. Derek heard her words clearly, and looked astonished uncontrollably.

Nora was embarrassed to see Derek like this, blushing. "I, didn't I..."

Derek covered her mouth and chuckled, his eyes full of laughter. "You don't have to say that. I got you."

Derek took her into his arms as he spoke, and whispered something into her ear.

Derek was shocked by what Nora did just now. He was a businessman, and it was quite normal for him to take any means to get what he wanted.

If he could, he wished he could set up the whole contest so that Nora could win beautifully, but the situation didn't allow him to do so.

At first, Derek had thought that Nora disdained to cheat, and was afraid that she would get angry if he told her about the theme. It didn't occur to him that she would ask him first. What a pleasant surprise.

In the Joneses.
