Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076 The Yrina Family Will Not Be Defeated

They had received numerous benefits from the head of the Strasson family, and were planning to favor the Strasson family during the competition.

On their way to the Shurmer residence, they huddled together for half an hour, strategizing on how to help the Strasson family secure a victory.

Half an hour ago, when they first heard that Zara had been in a car accident and might not be able to participate in the competition, they were all inexplicably elated.

Before Melanie came to see them, they were discussing how to let the Strasson family win without a fight in a logical and natural way.

How could they not be anxious now that this woman had come to stir up trouble?

If they were to simply hand over a victory within their grasp to the Yrina family, how could they possibly explain themselves to the head of the Strasson family?

At this moment, Melanie was brimming with confidence. In her view, the Yrina family would definitely lose the competition without Zara.

What does it matter if others take her place in the competition? They're only destined to be trampled under my feet without mercy.

How can I possibly miss such an opportunity to humiliate the Yrina family?

“I didn't speak out of place. Zara has had an incident and can't participate in the competition. Therefore, it's only right that I agree to let someone else take her place.

“Rest assured, I will be the winner of this competition. I command you not to interfere now. Oh no, this could ruin my plan to trample over the Yrina family.”

...

The judges glanced at each other, their eyes silently communicating. This woman is a fool.

She wis showing off like this at such a critical moment, as if she is not afraid that opponent won't have a chance to turn the tables. She is even eagerly handing them an opportunity. If that is not foolishness, then what is it?

If anything else goes wrong today, it certainly won't be our fault. We've done our best. It's just that this Ms. Melanie lacks common sense.

“Ms. Melanie, we've said all there is to say. If anything goes wrong due to your stubbornness, we won't take the blame when the head of the Strasson family holds someone accountable.”

Melanie sneered coldly, “What mishap could possibly occur? The Yrina family's ending is already set in stone. Unless Zara competes while injured, no one in the Yrina family can match me.”

Seeing her inflated ego, the judges knew their advice was futile. Without uttering another word, they each returned to their seats.

Melanie lifted her enchanting red lips, revealing an elegant smile.

She reached out and picked up the microphone from the table. Her voice was resounding with strength. “Zara has been in a car accident, so I'm afraid she won't be able to continue in the competition.

“According to the competition rules, if one contestant is absent, the victory goes to the other party. In other words, the Strasson family has already won.

“But in the interest of a fair competition, I'm willing to give the Yrina family another chance. They can choose someone else to compete with me, and we'll decide the outcome with a single match.”

As soon as she finished speaking, thunderous applause echoed all around.

“Ms. Strasson didn't take advantage of others in their time of vulnerability. She truly is magnanimous.”

“Exactly. If it were anyone else, they would have probably accepted victory outright, not giving their competitor any chance to turn the tables, right?”

“Now that's the mark of a master. For today's match, I'm betting on the Strasson family to win.”

“I feel the same way.”

“Me too.”

Melanie felt delighted listening to the praises from the people around her.

This feeling of being the center of attention is truly wonderful, and it proves that I have made the right decision.

This move does not only trample on the dignity of the Yrina family, but also successfully shapes my perfect image. I have killed two birds with one stone.

“Thank you all for your high praise. I'm truly flattered. Rest assured, I will engage in a fair competition with the Yrina family. Everyone, stay tuned.”

At that moment, Zara's senior disciple came from the backyard. After showing herself in front of everyone, she gave Melanie a cold stare and asked, “Are you saying anyone from the Yrina family can take her place?”

Melanie got carried away, so how could she possibly delve into the purpose of such a pointed question?

In her view, with the matriarch of the Yrina family dead, Yrinasion Muse missing, and Zara incapacitated, there was no one left in the Yrina family to hold the fort. Therefore, she didn't need to take any of them seriously.

“Unless the matriarch comes back to life, or the missing fifth disciple, Yrinasion Muse, suddenly appears. That way, they might have a chance to turn the tide. Otherwise, their defeat today is certain.”

In the midst of the clamor, Melanie began to speak, her tone arrogant and self-assured. “I've given the Yrina family a chance. If they shy away from the competition, they can't blame me for this undeserved victory.

“Starting from today, the number one embroidery in the world is no longer the Yrina family. The one stepping out of the national borders and facing the world is also not the Yrina family, but rather...”

“The competition hasn't even started yet, Ms. Melanie. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to be making such bold statements, don't you think?”

Zara's voice forcefully cut in, interrupting Melanie's words.

Melanie's gaze swept across the room, landing on Zara sitting in a wheelchair. Her right arm, encased in a plaster cast, hung limply in front of her. Her whole being was pale and weak. Seeing that, a cold smirk involuntarily crept up on Melanie's face.

Even after all this, she still acted high and mighty. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted, I should have let those people run this b*tch over.

The gaze of the guests collectively fell on Zara. Seeing her grievous injuries, they all sighed in sympathy.

With injuries like these, there was a high chance that participation in the competition would be impossible.

The match between the two masters from the two top embroidery families was quite a spectacle to behold.

Now that one master had suffered from serious injuries, there would be nothing much to see even if someone stepped in to take her place.

“Master Zara, perhaps we should just let this slide. The Strasson family is currently in its prime. It would be better for the Yrina family to avoid their limelight.”

“Exactly, the title of World's Best Embroidery is nothing more than an empty honor. If the Strasson family wants it, let them have it. Regardless of today's outcome, we will still support the Yrinasion embroidery.”

“Indeed, what we value is the embroidery skills of the Yrina family, not the glory you have. It is just an empty honor, you shouldn't take it too seriously since it is gone.”

Several ladies of high society who support the Yrina family began to comfort Zara one after another.

Zara gave a faint smile, softly saying, “The Yrina family will not be defeated.”

“Oh my.”
