Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 512

Out of the corner of her eye, Cherise noticed Stella sitting at the translation booth. It seemed that Stella was still looking toward Hank, which only strengthened Cherise's earlier suspicions. Cherise gave a slight smile, then turned her gaze away and focused on the podium.

Hank, too, felt a burning gaze directed at him.

However, when he turned toward the source of the look, Stella had already stopped staring his way.

Hank merely squinted and, like Cherise, shifted his focus back to the podium, waiting for the competition to begin.

The preliminary round consisted of two parts a theory test and a practical exam.

The finals, however, were only practical. Everything would be decided today, within a single day.

Mentors were not allowed to offer any guidance during the theory portion, but they could provide verbal assistance during the practical part.

A few days ago, Hank had learned many technical skills from Cherise, so he appeared mentally prepared.

However, even before stepping on stage, Oscar, an arrogant competitor from Fresburg, secretly gave Hank the middle finger in a display of disdain.
