How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 560

The atmosphere spun out of control the instant Sylvie spoke up.

No one had expected it. In a competition this tightly regulated, the idea of demanding a complete re-evaluation was almost unthinkable.

Even Elodie turned her head in surprise.

Sylvie's gaze was ice-cold, her face rigid with disbelief. No matter how she tried to rationalize it, she couldn't accept that Elodie had outscored her.

It was impossible. Unacceptable.

Alexander's eyes moved to the massive screen at the front of the stadium.

This wasn't your average remote-controlled toy. The drones in play were top-of- the-line, including some of the most advanced models the military had publicly released. Each one ran on its own unique system code, and every aspect of their performance was being tested in real time.

Only now did Alexander really look at Sylvie's results.

Second place? Tied with Watts?

Since when was Sylvie this formidable?

had always told her Sylvie was talented, but never on this level.

"I'm not sure. At least, based on these numbers, her drone's performance is practically flawless," Alexander murmured, squinting at the data.
