My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 618

Merry looked at Nicole from behind with a sinister expression in her eyes. 'Nicole is either overconfident or too dumb to accept her challenge so easily. She probably doesn’t even know what robots are, let alone win the competition.'

With this in mind, a look of disdain appeared in her eyes. Merry looked bigoted at Jared, who was sitting languidly on the stage. She told herself she would prove to him that only she—not an eye candy like Nicole—deserved a powerful man like him.

The nervous faces in the surroundings eased up when they saw the fate awaiting Nicole. They knew there would always be someone performing worse than them. Thinking of this, all of them had a delightful look on their faces.

But in the process of drawing lots, many people had already expected their results, such a shy boy whose draw was making him pit against Merry. He froze as he looked at the number 7, which Merry also had in his hand.

Merry did not spare a glance at her opponent, though. Instead, she held her head high and looked straight at the judges' bench with a prideful face.

Carl's opponent was a girl whose robotic talent was not outstanding but must not be underestimated.

Vera stomped her feet indignantly, but she quickly calmed down and looked at her opponent with disdain in her eyes. As much as she would love to be in a group with Carlisle, she did not want to be eliminated so early in the competition. So now she would make do with this opponent. Thinking of this, a smile slowly crept across his face.

The boy saw her cute expression and started to stutter. Both of them were number one, which meant that they would be the first to compete.

He had wanted to cotton up to the top player of the younger generation, like Vera, but she had no intention of talking to him, although she was polite. Instead, she kept glancing at Carlisle affectionately, almost cringely. The boy soon came to his senses and stopped being a wuss. He started practicing the formula and remote sensing method of controlling the robot.

Because of Nicole's participation, the even number of participants had become an odd number. One person would get to skip the first round and go straight into the final of the second round. Everyone wished they would be this lucky person. But Nicole turned out to be the lucky one—the place belonged to her.

Everyone looked at the blank ballot paper in Nicole's hand, speechless and filled with envy. After all, being able to advance to the final so easily, luck was also a part of strength.

Merry looked with a grave face at Nicole, who had a calm expression. But she was not in a hurry because she expected that those who reached the final would all be the elite of the Turmann family. Nicole was expected to lose badly to them, no matter which of them she faced. But she very much hoped that she could compete against Nicole in the final so she could fix her in person.
