Chapter 178
Ruby stopped in her tracks upon hearing Wendy’s words,
Her eyes revealed a hint of fierceness as she stared at
at Wendy
Since only Ruby heard what Wendy said, the staff nearby were puzzled when they saw her pause. “Ruby, hurry down. The second team is about to
Her teammates looked at her, placing supportive lands on her shoulders, thinking she couldn’t accept the loss
They said, “Come on, we still have the resurrection bracket.”
However, Eliana noticed that Ruby’s eyes remained fixed on Wendy.
Based on Eliana’s understanding of Wendy, she was sure Wendy must have mocked Ruby, causing her to glare angrily
Wendy wore an innocent expression as if nothing had happened.
Ruby held back her anger. This was a live broadcast, and she couldn’t cause a scene.
She had no choice but to follow her teammates off the stage and head to the lounge.
On the way back, a teammate asked, “Ruby, what happened just now!”
Ruby revealed the truth. That woman just called us trash.”
They all remembered how, earlier that afternoon, Wendy had tried to switch waiting rooms, even saying that they’d be eliminated anyway,
And now, her aunt had unfortunately come true.
Ruby couldn’t suppress her anger
But there was nothing they could do. They had indeed lost. Still, it was infuriating.
Eliana, walking behind them, overheard Ruby’s words
She didn’t doubt Ruby because she knew exactly what kind of person Wendy was.
What surprised Eliana, however, was that none of Ruby’s teammates questioned her story.
Thomas couldn’t help himself to staff out gossip.
Thomas stepped forward and asked, “Did Wendy insult you just now?
Ruby paused for a moment before nodding “Yes. As I passed by her, she called me useless.”
Patricia, standing nearby, added angrily. That wasn’t all! This afternoon, she brought staff over and demanded to switch lounges, even offering us 7,000 dollars! How ridiculous! She’s so fake, pretending to be innocent but acting so disgustingly!”
Wendy had indeed been to their lounge earlier. No wonder Ruby’s teammates believed Wendy had insulted them.
Eliana lowered her head thoughtfully. The biggest difference between Wendy and Willow was that Wendy acted arrogantly, relying on her family background and Hannah’s support. Willow was a clasit schemer, appearing sweet on the surface but ready to stab one in the bark.
One was openly malicious, the other secretly vicious. They were a match made in heaven.
Eliana stepped forward, saying, “Don’t worry. Only four teams will be selected from the resurrection bracket. If you break through, you’ll have the
chance to face her again.
Ruby nodded firmly. “That’s what I’m thinking, too. We’ll fight our way through the revival round and defeat her fair and square on stage! We’ll bear
Their fighting spirit was reignited by Wendy’s s provocation
Eliana thought to herself. In the past timeline, Wendy was the champion of the competition. By all rights, she should keep winning until the finals.
But she had crossed Ruby this time. She might just lose to Ruby. If that happened, the
outcome would change.
