Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 702

Chapter 702 Do You Own the Calligraphy Association?

“Sir!” Andy was the first to regain his senses. He immediately grabbed Lorenzo and exclaimed withdisbelief, “Don’t tell me Elise is...”

There were only a few S-Class members since the Calligraphy Association's establishment. Some ofthe elders had already died, leaving only Lorenzo and QH, one of the association's founders.

Six years ago, Elise was just a teenager. At such a young age, she stood out among all thecalligraphy masters, thereafter successfully integrating all calligraphy associations across the countryand establishing the headquarters.

That's so creepy!

“That's impossible!” Cody refused to accept that. I am one of the pioneer members here, and if sheis truly an S-Class member, it is impossible for me not to have met her at least once!”

Lorenzo simply rolled his eyes in response. “There are a lot of people you haven't met yet.According to your logic, shouldn't they all be dead by now?”

“That's not what I meant!” Cody was anxious. “Fine. I'm not going to argue with you about it. Elise isan S-Class member and she was also a candidate for the final round, so she should be able to writea few words to prove herself, right?”

Fortunately, Cody had asked around and discovered that Elise’s writing was completelyinappropriate. Otherwise, Lorenzo and Andy would easily deceive him now.

Lorenzo, on the other hand, simply explained calmly, “It's her choice whether to do so or not. Noone can force her.”

“It wouldn't be good if you kept defending Elise, sir!” Cody's tone was forewarning.

An expressionless Lorenzo simply tilted his head and stared at Cody. “So what if I stand up for her?Are you going to remove me from the presidency?”

“I've never even thought of that! However, if someone attempts to use his position for personalgain, members like us have no choice but to defend ourselves!” Cody expressed himself pitifully, asif he were a victim.

Lorenzo was taken aback when he heard that. Then, he approached Cody and looked him in theeyes, thereafter saying coldly, “Is that so? Let me see what you can do then.”

He exuded a natural authoritative aura, as if he was in command of everything. Even though Codywas taller, Lorenzo appeared to be more powerful at this moment.

Cody was so nervous that his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he struggled to stay uprightand look into Lorenzo's eyes despite his trembling legs

When Elise noticed that a fight was about to break out among the judges, she quickly calmed thesituation by saying, “There's no reason for me to act as if I'm bullying the juniors. Since Miss Hill'smaster isn't happy with me, why don't I compete against Miss Hill?"

"Why should we follow your words? Do you think you own the association?” Cody took advantageof the opportunity to turn around and look at her.

When Lorenzo heard Cody's words, Lorenzo glared at him sternly.

She indeed owned the association!

"Well, we'll decide by votes.” Andy didn't want Cody to bother him any longer, so he turned aroundto face the presidents of the Calligraphy Association branches from other districts. “Those who donot agree for Tiana and Elise to compete, please raise your hand,” he said.

Cody was the first person to raise his hand.

All of the other presidents, however, sat motionless.

Cody then signaled to his friend with his eyes, hoping for his friend's support. That did not happen.Instead, his friend found him embarrassing and quickly avoided his gaze.

To this friend of his, Cody was merely reckless before this but his personality was still acceptable.However, he was acting really stupid today. It was impossible for him to gain any future advantageby openly opposing the president and vice president at such an event!

Cody was the polar opposite of a wise man who knew when to stop in the face of an unfavorablesituation

“Those who support the contest between Tiana and Elise, please raise your hands now,” Andystated.

All of the presidents raised their hands as soon as he finished speaking. The contest's holding wasunanimously agreed upon.

Andy nodded in satisfaction when he saw this. He turned around to face Cody. “Look, even if I andLorenzo aren't counted, Elise has far more supporters than you. Majority wins; we must hold thiscalligraphy competition!”

Then, he quickly took the microphone from the table and declared loudly, “Everyone, on behalf ofTissote's Calligraphy Association, I am pleased to announce that an additional round has beenadded to this calligraphy contest, with the topic Sonnet 71. Tiana Hill and Elise Sinclair, you maybegin.”

Following that, the supporting crew went up to the stage and divided two tables so that both Tianaand Elise could begin at the same time.

After that was done, Tiana and Elise were the only ones left on the stage.

Tiana walked over to the table and grabbed her brush. However, she did not take any further action.Her brow furrowed as she stared at the writing paper, and cold sweat beaded on her brow.

Sonnet 71 was entirely different from Sonnet 18! How was she going to write that down?

Everyone would realize the moment she wrote that she didn’t know the art of writing on seal scriptat all!

But if she didn't, what other options did she have to prove her worth? What exactly should I donow?

Her mind was blank.

Because of her inaction, the ink accumulated at the end of the brush and thickened into a drop,which fell on the pure white paper without her reacting.

At that moment, the ink droplet smudged the paper. It was a nuisance to the eye.

"How could you make such a blunder after spending so much time learning calligraphy?” Elisescowled. “It appears that you have forgotten everything QH has taught you.”

Tiana was also taken aback. It was embarrassing for a calligrapher to have the ink dropped beforeshe could write anything!

Shocked, she threw the brush away and took a few steps back.

“I... 1 can't do it...” Tiana spoke as if she had lost her soul. Her previous grace had vanished at thispoint.

She then became enraged and yelled at Elise, “Isn't this what you all wanted to see after accusingand doubting me? I can’t handle the pressure! You can rejoice now that I am unable to writeanything!”

Tiana shifted all of the blame to Elise and Lorenzo with just a few words.

Cody couldn't look on any longer as well and he scolded both Lorenzo and Andy, “You've all goneoverboard! I now know you're all jealous of Tiana's talent and want to clamp her down! You have noright to destroy a talented calligrapher!”

While speaking, he intentionally went near one of the judges’ microphone so that his allegationscould be broadcasted out to the entire country.

By doing so, the situation would spiral out of control and no one would be able to have a decisivesay.

Elise simply shook her head after witnessing everything that had occurred. Indeed, birds of the samefeathers flock together. Tiana wasn't a good samaritan to begin with, and it was no surprise that shegrew up with this attitude after being raised by such an unreasonable master.

“Cody Carlson, do you know what you are saying?” Andy was burning with rage. “Do you think youcould still be here now if Lorenzo and I were jealous of the others’ talent?”

“Hal You finally admitted that you're jealous of me! You've bullied me a lot over the years—"

The two of them then began their epic feud. Elise decided not to get involved in that and beganwriting quietly.

Andy, on the other hand, was so mad with Cody that he clutched the other man's collar and wasabout to give him a punch.

At this instant, the host's voice broadcasted from the speaker. “G-Goodness, this seal script is...”
