Chapter 637: 637: A Sudden Change in Fortune for the Poor

There’s no particular plan. Whenever we feel like going somewhere to have fun, we just go there.

So, they happened to come across the Cooking Competition, and Ella Doone bought tickets to watch.

Upon hearing this, Wendy Clarke immediately said, “What a coincidence, I was planning to go too. Have you bought tickets already?”

Ella Doone replied, “Yes, we have. Have you?”

Wendy thought for a moment and said, “No, I was planning to buy tickets for next week. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get tickets for tomorrow after I arrived.”

Actually, she had bought them a long time ago.

She bought three tickets.

Although she couldn’t get VIP seats because they were not for sale to the public.

But she got relatively good seats, planning to watch the competition with Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke.

However, if Ella Doone was going too, it would be inconvenient to take Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke along.

Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke were inexperienced.

Although Joshua Clarke was not very talkative.

Christy Xenos, on the other hand, had no experience and was very talkative.

A few words would reveal the truth of their lack of sophistication.

At the same time, it would expose their family’s lack of background and the fact that they had suddenly become rich.

And although their family was wealthy now, Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke still had the aura of commoners, and it wouldn’t be something that could be easily shaken off.

They would be seen right through by trust-fund babies like Ella Doone and Edward Lopez, who have lived extravagantly since they were young.

So, Ella Doone and Edward Lopez must not see Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke or else they would look down on them and think Wendy was not worthy of being in their circle.

If she went with Ella and Edward tomorrow, Wendy wouldn’t let Christy and Joshua go.

They would only hold her back.

“Edward and I got tickets for VIP seats. If you want to go tomorrow, we’ll buy one more for you,” Ella said.

Wendy exclaimed with surprise, “I wanted to buy VIP tickets too, but they weren’t for sale. How did you get them?”

Ella laughed and said, “It’s all thanks to Edward. He has a lot of connections in Belfard, so getting VIP tickets from Pingla Group was quite easy.”

Wendy envied her in her heart.

This was the power of having connections in Belfard, even for such a small matter.

If it were her, she would be like a headless fly, not knowing where to find connections to get tickets, right?

Wendy’s determination to enter the circle of Belfard’s ultra-rich was even stronger.

The small scope of Nork City could not satisfy her at all.

Take Ella Doone, for example, the daughter of Nork City’s richest businessman.

She really didn’t amount to much in Belfard; the Doones were only local snakes in Nork City after all.

While they had some prowess in Nork City, they didn’t have much to offer in Belfard.

Didn’t Ella also rely on Edward to get tickets for the Cooking Competition?

After thinking it through, Wendy immediately said to Ella, “If you can get me a ticket too, that would be great.”

Ella readily agreed, “Ok, I’ll talk to Edward later and arrange it. I’ll let you know when it’s done.”

Wendy happily agreed, and then ended the call with Ella.

She originally wanted to meet Edward alone tonight, but didn’t expect him to show such an attitude.

Of course, Wendy couldn’t make herself too eager.

If she wanted to keep him hanging, she had to play her part.

So even though she felt a little regretful and really wanted to see him, she held back.

Wendy left her room and went straight to Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke’s room.

Christy opened the door for Wendy, who entered and said, “You two don’t go to tomorrow’s competition.”

“What’s going on?” Christy asked with a big reaction as soon as she heard.

“I have my plans. Leave it be for now. Don’t go tomorrow. I’ll go scout ahead and see from there,” Wendy said, “Don’t you trust me? Just listen to me.”

Christy could only nod, as she had a lot of faith in Wendy’s abilities.

Joshua Clarke, on the other hand, was a bit worried and admonished Wendy, “When you meet Cindy tomorrow, don’t make things difficult for her. She’s had a hard time these past few years.”

Wendy immediately turned cold, “She’s had a hard time, but haven’t I? Besides, the things she told you last time might not even be true, and now you’re already speaking up for her.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Dad, have you ever considered my feelings?”

“I… I didn’t mean it like that.” Joshua stammered.

Wendy irritably said, “Dad, stop meddling. I know what I’m doing. Besides, you didn’t handle things well last time, so don’t worry about what I do.”

If it weren’t for the fact that Joshua and Christy were useless, would she need to make another trip here?

With that, Wendy returned to her room.

The next day was Saturday.

Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke first took Morgan Zhekova to the family mansion to play in the snow.

It had snowed heavily on Thursday night, and it hadn’t melted after a day.

Aside from the main roads indoors being cleaned, the snow on the plants had not been removed. Morgan played in the snow on the plants.

There was also snow on the benches in the corridor.

Morgan gathered the snow on the benches and made a small snowman on each of them.

“There should be a big snowfall before and after the New Year,” the Old Madam said, “Every year during the New Year, Belfard never lacks snow. Auspicious snow signifies a bountiful year. When it gets even colder, the snow will pile up even thicker. You’ll enjoy it even more.”

Hearing this, the little one couldn’t wait for the New Year to come.

Although they couldn’t set off fireworks during the New Year, they could play in the snow, put up spring couplets, and wear new clothes.

Moreover, the nursery would be on vacation, and they wouldn’t have to go to school. They could play at home every day, how great!

In the afternoon, everyone went to the competition venue.

As the weather had gotten colder, the competition venue had been changed to an indoor location.

At the Wells Cultural Center next to the Wells Sports Stadium.

Wells Sports Stadium, Wells Cultural Center, Wells Sports Center, and Wells Diving Stadium formed a complete sports complex.

The Wells Cultural Center hosted large-scale indoor performances, such as the award ceremonies organized by video platforms and satellite TV stations.

The Wells Sports Center mainly hosted basketball games and indoor concerts.

However, the Wells Cultural Center could accommodate even more audience members than the Wells Sports Center.

The Cooking Competition was initially held at the Wells Sports Center.

Later, due to the popularity of that year’s competition and the large number of audience members, it was moved to the Wells Sports Stadium.

Until now, the cold weather made the stadium unsuitable.

But the number of seats in the sports center was not enough, so the competition was moved to the neighboring Cultural Center.

After the Zhekova family members entered the VIP seats, Edward Lopez, Ella Doone, and Wendy Clarke also arrived.
