Chapter 608:
As Tessa passed by, Sonya tried again with a sly maneuver, covertly stretching her foot to trip her. A fall would be a significant embarrassment.
Just as Sonya reveled in her cunning, a sharp pain shot through her foot. She yelped in agony.
Looking down, she saw Yelena’s foot firmly planted on hers.
“Planning to trip someone with that foot?” Yelena asked sharply, skipping any pleasantries.
Sonya stammered, taken aback and unable to find a response. “Keep your clumsy feet to yourself next time. If you dare try something like this again, it won’t end with just a step on your foot,” Yelena warned sternly.
Tears welled up in Sonya’s eyes from the pain, but she didn’t dare respond.
“How embarrassing!” Matilda remarked, casting a displeased look at Roger. “Why did you even bring me here? To watch her embarrass herself p>
Roger frowned. He had always considered Sonya competent, but under the pressure of such a significant event, she seemed overwhelmed. Yet, she was his girlfriend, and he didn’t want to turn against her now, especially in front of his mother.
“Sonya usually handles herself better. She must be nervous,” Roger tried to explain to his mother.
“Nervous? Everyone’s nervous in a competition,” his mother replied dismissively. “Yelena seems to be managing just fine p>
Matilda had never been fond of Yelena, finding her too reserved and seemingly indifferent to those around her. Upon discovering that Yelena wasn’t actually the Roberts family’s biological daughter, her opinion worsened. But then the truth came out: Yelena was the biological daughter of the Harris family. It wasn’t that Matilda looked down on Yelena anymore; rather, it seemed that Yelena had the upper hand over the Ellis family.
“You might consider talking to Yelena again. You two got along well once, and she seemed to enjoy your company. Why not go talk to her later? She’s clearly more capable than Sonya,” Matilda said, not realizing Donna and Callum were standing right in front of her.
Donna and Callum exchanged a knowing glance, their expressions tinged with irony. Did Roger really think he could choose freely between Sonya and their Yelena, as if she were simply an option to be picked up or discarded at will? Donna reached out and touched Callum’s hand, whispering, “Honey p>

Callum responded with a comforting pat, reassuring her, “Don’t worry. I’ve got this p>
Donna relaxed slightly, bolstered by Callum’s support. She was determined not to let anyone push her daughter around.
Meanwhile, Callum was contemplating ways to make the Ellis family reconsider their stance.
Just then, Roger felt an inexplicable itch in his nose and muttered to himself, “Who’s talking about me behind my back p>
As the competition progressed, Yelena and Tessa triumphed in the second round as well. Their skill and creativity were simply unmatched. A judge asked, “Were your designs made on site p>
Yelena replied, “No p>
“I knew it! You cheated!” Sonya accused loudly, interrupting Yelena before she could explain further.
As soon as Sonya finished speaking, everyone turned to Yelena in shock. If Sonya’s accusations were true, and Yelena had indeed cheated, her team would be disqualified.
Immediately, someone cried out, “This is unfair! We’re all competitors here. Her cheating has compromised the integrity of the competition. I demand that their results be nullified p>
Chants of “Disqualify them!” quickly followed.
The staff member from earlier, noticing Sonya’s agitation, glanced at Austin, whose furrowed brow indicated his displeasure with the alleged unfairness.
