Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 853

Hannah was dressed rather plainly. She wore a skirt suit, with plain and inexpensive accessories. Sitting next to Deanna, people couldn't help but to admire her. Many people thought that Hannah was Deanna's older sister, but after she addressed her as mother, everyone understood.

Hannah had preserved her looks well. No one could tell her actual age from her face.

"Mom, I haven't seen Raeleigh yet. Let me introduce her to you later." It was expected that Deanna's design would be selected. Deanna and Zorion had had been previously trained overseas in car designing. Then, they ended up studying in Elkton University, simply because Deanna liked Jepherson. Otherwise, with Rayan's financial capabilities, it was inconceivable that he would have them graduate from a local university.

Hannah patted her daughter's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense again. If your brother is not happy when he goes back, then he will ignore you."

In fact, there was no need for Hannah to attend the event, but her daughter said that her brother had someone he liked, so she had come.

Hannah knew that the likelihood of her son taking fancy of someone was slim to none as he was extremely picky. The only reason she had come that day was because her daughter had made it into the top ten finalists for the car design competition. Whilst this was all within their expectations and would've happened sooner or later, as her parent, she had to show up, to support for her daughter. Otherwise, she would've felt guilty for letting her down.

The mother and daughter continued to talk innocuously whilst Zorion stared straight ahead, not caring for what the people around him had to say and maintained his silence.

It seemed that he was out of tune with this world. He faced everything in front of him with a sort of detachment.

He was only 19 years old, but he seemed to have a heart with centuries of experience.

Raeleigh saw Zorion seated in front of her. It was not that she was purposely looking for him. It just so happened that he was smack in the center of her field of vision from where she sat, such that it was impossible not to see him when she looked up straight ahead.

Without further ado to the guests present, the awards ceremony began.

The principal of Elkton University stepped forward on the stage and gave a short speech.

The principal started off with a few pleasantries to the parents in attendance. Then, he moved on to talk about the design competition in question.

The applause continued in waves, coming one after another. Finally, the principal looked to one side and said, "We want to invite the competition organizer, the vice president of Richards Group, Mr. Jepherson Richards, to come on stage and announce the results. Welcome."

Jepherson walked to the stage from the side and paused on the stage. He took out a card in his hand and politely nodded to everyone present with a smile.

Hannah was full of praise. The children of her good friends were just different. They were so distinctly outstanding that as soon as he went on stage, he had instantly made everyone fall silent. Who else could compete with him?

At the thought of this, Hannah instinctively glanced at her son, Zorion. Actually, her son was not bad either.

Zorion seemed to know what his mother was thinking. When Hannah looked at him, he also looked at his mother. Although it was just a casual action, a look from him was enough to make the girls around squeal in delight.

At that time, Zorion smiled casually and then he looked up at the podium again.

Jepherson was the main focus that day, with a gray body-fitting suit. He looked infinitely capable and every movement he made had an aura of maturity.

Jepherson glanced at the cue card in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and spoke into the microphone. "I would like to thank each and every parent in attendance today for coming today, and I would also like to thank all the participants for all the hard work and time put into your submissions during your term to participate in our annual Richards Group car designing competition. I am extremely honored to have been part of the organizing team as the chairman, and now, let us announce the outstanding top ten finalists."

Jepherson took out the cue card from behind him and announced the list of names placing from the fourth to the tenth.

At the same time, they went on stage, one by one, to receive their rewards. Deanna sat quietly and waited.

Quirina wore a smile and turned around to look at Raeleigh's side. She met Raeleigh's eyes and showed out a defiant look.
