âDid you see that? Jubilife University won!â Beaming, Matt almost jumped off the stage in joy.
âAs expected of Yvie. Sheâs the pride of Jubilife University.â
If Yvette hadnât won so many points, overtaking the Vista University team by 10 points, the Jubilife University team wouldnât have won.
âDonât get ttoo ahead of yourself, Matt. They just won one round. Thereâs a second round, remember?â
Patrick was shocked, too. But he continued, âThe second round centers on practical skills, which Liam is the best at. Vista University will win the second round.
Meanwhile, Yvette did another long stretch. She wasnât at all excited about the prospect of winning.
Still relaxed, Yvette prodded off the stage. Nora and the other three members of the team finally recovered from the shock.
âOh my God, we won just like that?â
âI know, right? That was so sudden. I couldnât even react in time.â
They couldnât believe that their team had won. On top of that, it was Yvette who led them to victory!
They had all assumed her to be the biggest burden on the team.
The team felt embarrassed, but they were happy to win. Prior to this year, Vista University had won ever single medical competition. The Jubilife University students felt proud to have finally won a round for once.
They began to view Yvette differently. At the thought of what they said to Yvette previously, they felt extremely ashamed of themselves.
Noraâs facial expression became glum. Surprised by Yvetteâs capabilities, Nora didnât like how Yvette stole her thunder.
âHello, my name is Liam Jablon,â Liam said, stopping Yvette on her way down. He looked at her with admiration. âCan we be friends?â
Hearing his words, Yvette glanced at Liam and said, âYvette Murray.â
For some odd reason, Liam felt bashful from her gaze. He tried to maintain his composure as he said,â Youâre good. Iâm looking forward to your performance in the next round!â
Yvette was the only person Liam would acknowledge as his rival.
âSure,â Yvette said, nodding casually. Then, she turned around and went backstage without hesitance.
Liamâs gaze followed Yvette until she was a distance away. He smiled, thinking that todayâs competition was worth his time.
âWow, Yvette earned Liamâs respect. That proves how good she is!â
âYouâre right. Yvette surprised me. But seriously, sheâs so calm even when talking to a hot guy like Liam. If it were me, I wouldâve pounced on him.â
âI admit that I was too quick to judge Yvette. From today onward, Yvette is my idol!â
âMine too.â
âYvette Murray!â
âYvette Murray!â
âYvette Murray!â
The crowd continued to cheer, but Yasminâs expression was grim. She almost broke her nails in agitation.
Yasmin thought Nora was useless, wondering how the latter managed to allow Yvette to get all the attention. She was pissed just thinking about it.
