Chapter 57 She Was Here!
Jonathanâs instruction rang through the microphone and to the speakers in the event venue. Heâd not said a word during the other participantsâ showcase, yet now he was asking to meet Kelly in person!
Did that mean the award was right on the horizon for Kelly? The audience gazed at Kelly in sheer admiration, the latter which was buzzing with excitement.
Jonathan Finch had called personally for her. Did that mean sheâd finally caught his attention? She took a deep breath to compose herself. She couldnât look too shocked now that Jonathan was looking at her.
Smiling pleasantly, she was about to accept Jonathanâs offer when the man spoke again, âBut before that, let us see the final participantâs creation!â
He then went out of the lounge and backstage.
Kelly frowned lightly, asking, âFinal participant? Werenât there only 28 of us? I should be the final one, right
Next thing she knew, the participant list had been displayed on screen. Kelly grew rigid with fright when she saw that Roseâs name had been colored red.
Rose was just as shocked at the sight. Sheâd been about to go onstage to reveal Kellyâs scheme in front of everybody. She hadnât submitted her creation, so the organizer shouldâve disqualified her already.
So what was happening now?
âNow let us welcome Ms. Rose Shaffer onstage,â the host said.
Everyone looked to the side of the stage where the participants filed in, but Rose was not there.
Kellyâs panic instantly faded. Rose was still unconscious in the hospital, so there was no way sheâd be here right now.
She was about to take advantage of the situation to further smear Roseâs name when a voice suddenly rang out from amidst the crowd.
âIâm right hereâ¦â
Roseâs throat was painfully sore as she rasped out the words. Only then did the crowd turn to look at her. Upon hearing her, Jonathan looked in her direction. Shock and delight filled his being.
Rose was awake! Not only that, but she was present here too!
âIâm here! Iâm Rose Shaffer!â Rose said again, voice shaky.
Jonathan shot his bodyguards a look. They immediately went to clear out a path for Rose to the stage. All eyes were on her as she walked onstage.
Meanwhile, no one but Ezra noticed how Jonathan silently disappeared back behind the curtains. He narrowed his eyes, then glanced at Rose. He grinned lightly.
So your name is Rose, hm?â
Rose was slowly walking toward Kelly, glaring fixedly at her. The latter was nearly trembling in sheer panic. She took a step back, wanting to leave.

âYou can leave from here, Ms. Kelly,â the host said.
Kelly was worried Rose might sabotage her, so the host had practically saved her. She decided to step
away first before finding a way to get back at Rose. But Rose wasnât going to let her go that easily.
Kelly took a step back, but Rose immediately grabbed her arm.
âCan I have my dear sister stand with me here onstage?â
