Chapter 707:
The crowd began to piece together what had just happened, their voices rising in unison.
“Martin’s just a sore loser p>
“How pathetic! Trying to drag down a fresh talent! Are you jealous of Sloane p>
The jeers from the audience grew louder, and though Martin’s anger boiled over, he couldn’t argue with the crowd.
He shot Jenessa a dark look, spun on his heel, and stormed off.
With Sloane’s team claiming victory in the first round, they earned the right to choose the theme for the next stage of the competition.
After the livestream ended, Jenessa made her way backstage, where her teammates were waiting, practically buzzing with excitement.
“Sloane, we did it! We actually won p>
“I’m so thrilled! I still feel like I’m dreaming p>
The voices swirled around Jenessa, but she stayed in high spirits.
After her team successfully passed the first round, Jenessa felt a wave of relief wash over her.
“Today’s competition is wrapped up! How about we head out to celebrate tonight? If anyone’s wiped out, feel free to head to the room for some rest,” Jenessa suggested with a bright smile. Her team quickly responded, shaking their heads in unison.
“Tired? No way! We’re too pumped up. Let’s go have a feast together p>
Jenessa laughed.
“What do you all feel like eating? Now that you mention it, I’m starving p>
As they made their way out, they crossed paths with some of the contestants from Martin’s team, including Hilda.
The moment Hilda and her teammates spotted Jenessa, their faces darkened like storm clouds.
Hilda couldn’t hold back her irritation. Clenching her teeth, she spat, “Don’t get too smug just because you won this round, Sloane. It was pure luck. Next time, we won’t give you the chance p>
Jenessa found it laughable. With feigned innocence, she turned to Delia and asked, “Delia, did I just hear a dog barking p>
Delia arched a brow and replied, “I’m not sure, but the air sure smells foul all of a sudden p>
Hilda instantly understood their taunts, her face twisting with fury.
She was ready to charge at them, fists clenched, but one of her teammates quickly grabbed her arm.
“Hilda, cool it. There are cameras everywhere p>
Gritting her teeth, Hilda forced herself to stay in check. Jenessa and her crew walked away, leaving Hilda seething with jealousy and spite, glaring at their retreating figures.
“If it wasn’t for this woman—Sloane—I’d already be an internet star by now!” Hilda fumed to herself.
“She won’t get away with this. Next time, I’ll make sure she pays p>
When Jenessa stepped outside, her eyes met Richard’s, standing there with the others who had been waiting patiently for what felt like an eternity.
Brinley, already bursting with excitement, was just about to rush forward and embrace Jenessa when Richard’s hand shot out, his firm grip wrapping around her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.
