Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 302

The third round began.

The boy from Northview University was very gentlemanly. He asked Ava to go first. Ava did not refuse and sat on the chair. Her slender and fair fingers nimbly operated the computer. With a focused expression, she hacked the boy’s computer soon. However, the caption and the picture on the big screen were thought-provoking

The caption read “Harmful Trash,” and a trash can was at the bottom of the screen with the recycle bin, which was quite insulting

The boy’s face darkened, but he looked at the screen disdainfully and began to solve the problem. As time passed, the boy’s confidence turned into anxiety, and he was sweating profusely.

Half an hour had passed, but the student of Northview University still had not solved it. He would lose if he could not solve it in another half an hour.

Some spectators jeered, “Can you do it? It’s been half an hour. You’re wasting our time, and it’s almost dinner. If you can’t solve it, admit defeat. We can give you a trash can as a gift.”

“That’s right. It’s not a big deal to admit that you’re trash. Men up and be brave.”

“Hurry up.”

The man in the third row below the stage was in a good mood when he saw the caption and the picture on the big screen. The corners of his lips under the mask had been curling up slightly the whole time.

He thought that Ava always knew how to hold a grudge

The host came out to smooth things over. “Everyone, please be quiet. Perhaps Ava from our university has dealt him a heavy blow, and he needs more time. The competition rules state that it’s a defeat if one can’t solve the problem in an hour. Please, let’s wait patiently for another half an hour.”

These words were blatantly saying that the student of Northview University had lost. The host was the president of the student union and was supposed to be low-key and polite. After all, she still needed to host.

After finishing her words, the host walked to Ava’s side and said softly, “You’re just awesome. I’ll treat you to a milkshake tomorrow. Those people are rude and need to be taken down a peg. You’re impressive.”

Ava turned sideways and smiled mischievously. “I’ll wait. I want a big portion”

While the student of Northview University was still trying his best to solve the problem, the two were already chatting about milkshakes, which was even more insulting.

Time was up.

and the student of Northview University still could not solve it. The boy finally admitted defeat. The spectators were all chanting Ava’s name as if she were a favored celebrity

She was enjoying the honor she deserved on stage. She was shining like the most dazzling star. Who could resist such a girl?

There were already many rich boys itching to profess feelings for Ava tonight. The man, who had always had sharp ears, kept a cold expression when he heard the others.

The corners of his mouth curled up in mockery and disdain.

Suddenly, the boy from Northview University raised his hand on the keyboard and stood up.

He walked to the podium and snatched the host’s microphone. He looked at Ava affectionately and smiled, “I’m willing to lose to Ava. Since I’m lucky enough to come to Sapphire City University today, I want to borrow your stage to tell the person I like about my true feelings for her.”

The next second, the expected confession followed. “Ava, I adore you. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. Can you be my girlfriend”

The spectators had been cheering for Ava’s victory. After hearing what Neal said, some wowed while some booed.

Rose had already stopped filming. She muttered, “Where the hell is Cranky Franky? That guy told Ava he liked her in public! Damn it! That is infuriating!”

Rose called again, but the call was still cut off. She was furious and texted Frank, [Where are you? Let me tell you this. I watched Ava’s competition at
