Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 701

Chapter 701 Breaking Records?

Andy followed Lorenzo's gaze and saw Elise, and he couldn't help but look proud.

“Mr. Forbes, this is the talented girl I have told you about. She is Elise Sinclair, a finalist.” Andy triedto show off.

"What did you say?” Lorenzo couldn't help laughing. “Elise participated in this contest?”

She could win against every judge, yet she is now standing off the stage. This is ridiculous, totallytomfoolery!

“In that case, please let Miss Sinclair come on the stage and—" Lorenzo paused, then turned aroundto ask Andy, “Who is she?”

“Tiana Hill,” Andy answered.

"Oh." Lorenzo nodded. He then bent over, adjusted the microphone on the table and said to theaudience, “Miss Sinclair, please come on stage and comment on Tiana Hill's work.”

Tiana was full of reluctance.

As a student, Elise is not even a member of the calligraphy association. How is she qualified tocomment on my work?

Tiana was angry and annoyed. However, she could only suppress her annoyance as it was Lorenzo'sdecision.

As Elise heard the familiar voice from the speaker, she turned around and looked at the judgingpanel, only to meet Lorenzo's gaze.

Their eyes met each other, and their faces were filled with the joy of old acquaintances reuniting.Elise smiled bitterly and obliged Lorenzo's request to go on stage.

The emcee handed her a small whiteboard and a marker pen. Then, he looked at the audience andsaid in a suspenseful tone, “Okay, let's see what score Miss Sinclair will give to Tiana!”

After thinking for a while, Elise neatly wrote the number 1 on the whiteboard. She turned the boardto face the audience and the camera.

"One?!" The emcee thought he had read it wrong. So, he pretended to clear his throat and politelyreminded, “Miss Sinclair, did you miss a stroke?”

“No.” Elise looked seriously at the whiteboard and then innocently, “This one point is herconsolation mark. If I were to evaluate her calligraphy skills, the score might not look good.”

Tiana gritted her teeth in anger.

What do you mean? Are you saying my work is worthless?

Do you know that this is an authentic seal script? How dare she want to give me zero points?

I finally know Elise’s true colors. She is just a bumpkin. She doesn’t know anything, including the sealscript. She is bringing down my standard.

What is Mr. Forbes doing anyway?

Who are you trying to humiliate?!

The audience couldn't sit still either.

“Does Elise really need to do that? She is too disrespectful!”

“All singers are uneducated, after all. Calligraphy is Cittadel's cultural heritage. Seal script is the pilotof modern calligraphy. She must be illiterate to not know this!”

“Such arrogance! Tiana is QH's pupil. Elise doesn't know what it means to respect seniors. I'm surethe star in the entertainment industry does not care about QH.”

“I wonder why this bumpkin can be a star. I'm speechless!”

Tiana was Cody's pupil, after all, so he would not stay silent after receiving this humiliation.

"Andy Nixon!" Cody pointed his finger at Andy, who favored Elise. “So, this is your favoritecontestant? She is too arrogant!”

Andy raised his hand and flicked his nose with a look of disgust. “Sure. You smell, too. Maybe youshould rinse your mouth.”

“You little—" Cody widened his eyes with anger.

That is completely irrelevant!

Just you wait! I'll see how you can be arrogant after Tiana wins the championship.

Elise took the emcee’s microphone and looked at the judges panel. “Sirs, what do you think aboutthe score I gave?”

The emcee saw the opportunity. “Right, Tiana Hill has not yet been scored. Please write out herscores!”

He didn't see such a hot-blooded scene for years. He was curious about how the event wouldunfold.

Lorenzo and Andy nodded in agreement. They then looked at each other and raised their pens,simultaneously writing the number on the board.

After a while, the emcee raised his hand. “Please show your board!"

Lorenzo and Andy showed the score at the same time.

On the big screen in the venue, the camera zoomed in infinitely as the two harsh zeros appeared.Both of them gave zero marks to Tiana.

It was lower than what Elise gave.

Hence, the total score was 1.

It was a new low in the calligraphy competition.

The emcee twitched his mouth in embarrassment.

This is a new record, right?

Elise raised her eyebrows at that. “Sir, you're too strict.”

Tiana is still a student; you must not be harsh to her.

However, Tiana's behavior was unforgivable for Lorenzo and Andy.

They would give her a negative 100 score if possible and pin Tiana to the hall of shame.

At that point, there was an uproar.

Lorenzo and Andy were the calligraphy masters, and it was self-evident who they stood for.

People couldn't help but wonder if Tiana was really worth supporting.

Cody blew a gasket and rushed to the panel to question Lorenzo. “Mr. Forbes, I know you're friendswith Andy. However, you can't be so unfair! Even untrained eyes can understand that Tiana’s work isexcellent. It is a nationwide live broadcast, and you are obviously bullying her!”

"Cody, what do you mean by that? We are not bullying her. Our scoring is according to the rules ofthe contest. The reason we have achieved today is that we are fair. Are you questioning our skills?"Andy sternly scolded Cody.

Andy let it slide because he didn't want to deal with Cody. However, he didn't expect Cody to actthis way.

He couldn't tolerate Cody fooling around on such an occasion.

“I—" Cody was at a loss for words. For years, Lorenzo and Andy had power in the calligraphyassociation, so Cody couldn't afford to offend them.

After hesitation, Cody turned his head and pointed his finger at Elise. “I have no right to questionyou, but I can do it to Elise. She is not a member of the calligraphy association, so what did you lether comment on Tiana, an A-Class Member? This is unreasonable!”

"Who says she’s not a member?” Lorenzo refuted without hesitating.

Cody was stunned, then he continued questioning, “I know every member below A-Class. EliseSinclair is not on the list!"

Andy felt embarrassed.

Indeed, it is hard to explain.

However, the rank of a member is just for show. Elise’s skill has already surpassed that of Tiana longago. It was only that Elise wasn't awarded a medal.

It is reasonable to let Elise score Tiana's work. However, the opposite is true too.

“I think you have forgotten. You don't have the right to view the information of members from A-Class and S-Class!”

Lorenzo's face turned gloomy and ugly.

Why is Andy letting them be arrogant? How dare Cody dare question my authority?

The audience was stunned for a long time, as Lorenzo had implied Elise was an S-Class Member.
