“That’s right. It’s better to watch it live than to watch it on your phone, isn’t it?”
“I think so too!”
“By the way, who do you think the other contestants are apart from Emily and Roxy?”
“Other than Emily, Hazel is also representing Yobril.”
“What about the other countries, like Zindaria and Sandfort City?”
“I don’t know. But, the champion will definitely be either Roxy or Emily.”
At this moment, someone amongst the crowd stood up and disagreed with the comment. “Don’t speak too soon. Hazel might win the championship too.”
“That’s right. She’s also Hilbert’s student. What’s the difference between Emily and her?”
“But, didn’t Emily hold a banquet a few days ago? She could have won the championship with that performance alone!”
The fans were arguing back and forth, and they nearly got into a fight!
Meanwhile, Emily was watching the live broadcast of the audience in her lounge. The fans who had come with her banners were often captured on cameras. Staring at them through the screen, she grinned with satisfaction. Huh. The auditorium is crowded with my fans. Who does Janet think she is? She’s just making a fool out of herself for daring to take part in the competition!
Suddenly, someone made an announcement from outside. “The three major families of Sandfort City are here!”
Immediately, Emily’s eyes lit up. She kept her eyes fixed on the screen and found three tall and handsome men walking into the auditorium in a rather kingly manner. They went straight to the front row of the audience and took their seats. These three big shots from Sandfort City had taken up three out of the five seats specially reserved in the front row. Behind them were the incessant cheers of the audience.
“Oh my God! The three young masters from Sandfort City are here!”
“Am I dreaming? What are they doing here?”
“What the hell. If my eyes didn’t deceive me, the one in the black suit must be Young Master Mason. He’s as handsome as they say in the news.”
“Oh my God! I’m kneeling for him.”
“But, the key point is, who did they come for?”
“They were there at Emily’s banquet back at Sandfort City a few days ago. If I’m not mistaken, the three young masters must be here for Emily.”
“Holy crap! Emily must be so honored.”
Emily could hear the audience’s chatter through the screen backstage. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of panic, which was quickly replaced by a snicker of joy. The three young masters are here! They are actually here to watch my performance! Am I dreaming? But, they weren’t very enthusiastic back at the banquet. Logically, they wouldn’t have come to watch the competition.
Frowning, Emily went deep into contemplation. Perhaps, they’re here for Janet? She knew Janet was a friend of Lee, but she was also Mason’s lover. Are all of them here because of Janet? Mason would have attracted so much attention if he came for Janet. Isn’t he afraid that J’Adore would find out about them? Suddenly, Emily was confused.
However, at this moment, she heard the host’s excited voice rise from the screen. “Young Master Mason, Young Master Sanders, and Young Master Moss, why did you guys come here together today?”
“Naturally, we’re here for the champion.”
When Emily heard Mason’s voice, she quickly looked up at the screen. What unfolded before her eyes was the affectionate smile that found its way across the lifted corners of his lips. Even his eyes were shining brightly. As soon as he said that, the audience went into chaos.
