Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 843

Chapter 843 It's an Invasion, Too

"Yes, it is.” Elise admitted it openly. The instant the guest heard this, he immediately walked up onstage. After examining Elise’s embroidery, he sighed repeatedly with fascination, saying, “Marvelous!How marvelous!”

“Could you explain what is unique about such an embroidery technique?” The emcee quicklyhanded the microphone to the guest for the latter to explain it to the public.

The guest could hardly hide his excitement. “The so-called double-sided embroidery with differentpatterns involves the use of stitching methods and colors used in double-sided embroidery. Notonly that, but the resulting patterns on both sides of the embroidery have to be different.

The embroidery technique involved is even more complicated, so it's even harder to produce thanordinary double-sided embroidery. Such an embroidery technique can hardly be seen these days.Little did I expect that such a technique would see the light of day again today! What a blessing it isfor our country!”

Ekaterina gnashed her teeth while she looked as black as thunder as a myriad of expressionscrossed her face.

"Which means that Miss White's work is a level higher than Ms. Miiyagi's in terms of difficulty,right?” The emcee modestly asked for the guest's opinion.

“It's far more than that!” Raising his voice proudly, the guest purposely held his microphone to hislips. “Is there only a tiny bit of difference between Level 10 and Level 9 of the greatest form ofmartial arts in the world? No, the difference is worlds apart!” It's been seven years now. It's simplyexulting that someone has taken the Rosepickers down a peg or two!

Meanwhile, at the side entrance, seeing that the time was ripe, Irvin quickly took out the box they'dprepared in advance from his backpack. He opened the box, after which five butterflies flew out ofthe box and slowly fluttered to the stage.

Under the gaze of the audience, the butterflies danced in the air. After showing off their gracefuldance moves, they landed directly on Elise's embroidery of water lilies.

The audience stood up and applauded spontaneously. “What kind of embroidery technique is that?Even the butterflies think the water lilies are real!”

“This is absolute magic!” “F*ck, if anyone dares to say that Cittadelian embroidery is unpresentable,I'll be the first to object to it!"

The guest on stage was stunned by the sight as well. He couldn't help but sigh in astonishment,saying, “What a skilled embroiderer who brings her embroideries to life!”

It was unsurprising that Elise won the match, upon which the audience's national pride reached itspeak.

However, Ekaterina felt offended by the sight of all this. After clenching her teeth and holding outfor almost a minute, she finally turned around and was about to leave the stage with her tailbetween her legs.

"Stop right there!” Elise unceremoniously asked her to stay. “Are you gonna leave just like this?”“What else do you want, then?” Ekaterina spoke English with a strong accent while still acting allhigh and mighty. “You should apologize to all Cittadelians for your previous remarks!" Elise saidresoundingly.

"Why should I?" Ekaterina was unwilling to admit her mistakes, though. “No one in Cittadel trulyunderstands embroidery other than you. Why should I bow to people who are weaker than me?”“It's you and your whole country who don’t understand what embroidery is!” Elise replied forcefullyin a loud and sonorous voice. “Embroidery is something that refines one’s manners, so it doesn'tallow one to be hasty and rash. I'm only the most ordinary embroiderer in Cittadel, and there arecountless other embroiderers like me.

They only eat dirt because they treat you as a guest and don’t want to sink to the likes of a buffoon.On the other hand, you want to claim embroidery as your own because you think you've picked upa smattering of it.

What's the difference between such behavior and that of the Rosepicker army who crossedCittadelian borders and invaded our country back then? It's an invasion, too. Shouldn't youapologize for that?!”

All the Cittadelians at the scene expressed their inner displeasure in a fever of passion, chanting,"Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!”

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Ekaterina staggered backstage, only to fall tothe ground instantly in a moment of carelessness. Crawling on the ground with difficulty, she finallyfled the live studio in humiliation, as if fearing that the audience would lunge at her and tear herlimb from limb.

In the end, the live broadcast ended with the audience singing the national anthem in chorus.

At the end of the live broadcast, Abby blocked Elise’s way and held out the book that Elise hadgiven her as a present back then in both hands. “This is supposed to belong to you.”

Instead of taking the book right away, Elise merely asked her in reply, “Do you still remember theperson who gave you this book? Do you think you've lived up to her expectations while looking likethis?”

Abby lowered her head further as she was too ashamed to respond to Elise’s words.

“I hope that you'll think carefully about what to do next,” Elise said. With that, she took back thebook and went backstage without looking back. She admitted that she had misjudged Abby, butshe didn't regret her decision to give the book to Abby back then because it was worth it at thetime. As for now... Everyone had to take responsibility for their own choices, and so did Abby.

As soon as Elise removed her makeup, Anthony rushed in to suck up to her. “Oh, Miss White, you'revirtually my savior! You know what? Blitzy Entertainment has broken the TV station's ratings recordtoday! Seriously, I never thought you'd be so good at concealing your abilities.

Promise me that you'll give Blitzy Entertainment an opportunity to conduct an exclusive interviewwith you after the show to talk about how you feel after defeating Ekaterina. Trust me; you'lldefinitely become a national hero! Really, I can't thank you enough for this. Just tell me what youwant. As long as I can afford it, I'll definitely give it to you!”

Elise remained unmoved with an indifferent expression. “Didn“t I let my son tell you what I wantedhalfway through the live broadcast? It seems that you didn't say the same thing at the time, Mr.Lowry, did you?”

Anthony's smile instantly froze on his face. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he immediatelypresented the excuse he had thought up in advance. “Well, Miss White, please show someunderstanding for me. I have to answer to the investors when it comes to a show's production.

If the live broadcast is halted for reasons other than matters of life and death, we'll have to lose allour money! And besides, I didn't halt the show because I believed in your capabilities. Noweveryone is satisfied, no? What is bad about letting the whole nation witness our glory?”

“What a glib tongue you have, Mr. Lowry.” Elise lowered her eyes with a scornful expression. “In thatcase, if I were to lose the match, wouldn't I become a sinner for all the Cittadelians? Mr. Lowry, haveyou ever thought about how people are going to criticize me for that?”

Anthony smiled shamelessly. “Well, you didn't lose the match, no? Miss White, one has to lookforward. Why think about things that wouldn't happen?”

“Save your words for the police instead.” Elise turned around right away and refused to keep ontalking to him.

At the same time, a group of uniformed police officers came in with the papers. “You must be Mr.Lowry, the person in charge of Blitzy Entertainment.

It's confirmed that Blitzy Entertainment has violated the Cittadelian Security Act in many of itsbusiness dealings. The company’s building is to be sealed up immediately, and all its property anddocuments mustn't be taken away.

Also, someone has reported that you'd teamed up with foreign anti-Cittadelian forces to sellnational secrets in secret. Please go back with us to cooperate with our investigation!”

"You guys must've made a mistake! I didn’t betray my country; I just wanted to make some money!I'm not a spy! I've been wronged! Get off me!”

No matter how Anthony arduously tried to explain himself, the police officers quickly put handcuffson him and marched him off.

Elise remained indifferent from start to finish. Such a black-hearted businessman who can evendisregard national dignity deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail, so there's no reason to feelpity for him.
