Chapter 559

He was genuinely surprised by all of this.

Elodie didn't bother to explain.

In the VIP section, Patricia immediately spotted Watts standing with Elodie, engaged in conversation.

Patricia's brows arched slightly as she turned to Jarrod beside her, lips curving in

a sly smile. "I wonder, Mr. Silverstein, what are your thoughts? Between the two of them, who are you rooting for?"

Jarrod met her gaze, his eyes cool and unreadable.

He didn't answer.

Only then did Patricia's smile falter and her brows draw together.

Grady, seated nearby, overheard and chimed in, "Isn't it obvious? The last two rounds were just appetizers. Today is the real deal the true test of skill. Not everyone can just waltz into a top university and fake it till they make it."

Maurice glanced uncertainly at Jarrod. Oddly, Jarrod didn't seem at all anxious about the outcome. Maurice frowned. He knew Sylvie's abilities there was no question she had what it took. But with Elodie, things were far less certain.

If Sylvie really did trounce her...

The Silverstein family would definitely have something to say. After all, this was a public competition with plenty of attention. If Mrs. Silverstein herself lost to Sylvie, it would hardly look good-no matter how you spun it.

But Grady's comment caught Naylor's attention. Naylor shot him a look and said, "The scores will speak for themselves, Mr. Mercer. There's really no need for that sort of talk."

Grady seemed oddly antagonistic, as if he had some personal grudge against Elodie.

He looked like he wanted to snap back, but when he caught Jarrod's eye, he clenched his jaw and fell silent, clearly reluctant but unwilling to push it further.
