Novel1Chapter 849:
“Great,” Kaelyn replied casually.
She viewed Fiona as a cowardly, greedy, selfish, and useless individual. Yet, she mused, if Fiona hadn't been so
morally corrupt, how would she have ever connected with her?
Kaelyn warned, “I expect you to keep our agreement. Otherwise, you'll see the consequences.”
Fiona missed the ominous tone in Kaelyn’s voice and said impatiently, “Don’t worry. | remember everything. I'm
ending the call now.”
Fiona hung up the phone, leaned back in her chair, and let out a sigh of relief. “Perfect. Elyse won't be returning
now.” She would still be the one competing.

After about thirty minutes, Fiona finally received confirmation that the competition was set to begin. Due to the
hour-long delay, the organizers had arranged a special performance to entertain the audience while they waited
for the competition to commence. Each contestant was to perform their signature piece, and Elyse had
registered Paganini’s Caprice No. 24.
When Fiona heard that Elyse had chosen this piece as her signature piece, she nearly passed out. Was Elyse out
of her mind? How could she choose this piece as her performance piece?
Darren, noticing that Fiona hadn't departed yet, questioned, “Why are you still here? You're not supposed to be
backstage for the competition, are you?”
As he spoke, he looked at Fiona’s face with a puzzled expression. “And why have you applied makeup? What are
you planning?”

Fiona, aware that other contestants were observing her, displayed an embarrassed look and clarified, “I just
applied smakeup. Don’t read too much into it.”
Darren continued, “By the way, where's Elyse? It's been quite a while. Where did she go?”
Just as Fiona was about to respond, Edward chimed in, “She went to the restroom. | saw her.”
Fiona rolled her eyes. Edward was obviously making it up. Elyse was definitely not coming.
Geraldine, who was close by, scowled at Fiona and declared, “Hey, you've been eliminated, so please leave
quickly. Don’t disrupt our competition.”
Her voice was notably stern, almost driving Fiona away. Reflecting on her potential victory, Fiona decided to
withstand the hostility and smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, | didn’t intend to. | was just overly curious and wanted to
stay to watch.”

Geraldine copied Fiona’s earlier gesture and rolled her eyes as well. “Who would believe that? Have you
forgotten how you advanced to the final?”
Fiona feigned innocence, saying, “I was just fortunate enough to reach the final. It's unfortunate for the
contestant who had the car accident, but that’s beyond my control. Luck is a kind of strength, isn't it?” She
raised her chin slightly and strutted off.
Geraldine, filled with anger, spat in the direction Fiona had gone before sharply turning away. Darren and Edward
shared a look but said nothing.
Once Fiona had departed, she kept her strategy in mind. In the lounge, she swiftly changed into a dress and
approached a staff member, posing as Elyse.
She inquired about the requirements for the performance. The staff member, deceived into thinking Fiona was
the actual contestant, carefully outlined the critical aspects of the performance.
With this knowledge, Fiona confidently headed to the backstage area.
