“An ambitious young lady. And you, what do you think?” the host asked Edward.
Edward cleared his throat and replied, “First place is mine.”
The host chuckled and then said, “You both have great confidence, but only one can be in first place. The
difference between you two is just 0.1 points.”
Elyse’s expression grew concerned upon hearing this. Just 0.1 points? Their scores were nearly the same,
separated by the slightest gap.
Impatient, Edward urged, “So, who is in first place?”
The host playfully dragged out the suspense, replying slowly, “I know you're eager, but hold on. I'm about to

The host picked up the microphone and said, “The contestant who battled through and claimed first place is...”
His gaze shifted towards Edward, who was brimming with anticipation.
As Edward caught his eye, his expression brightened. He was sure the first place was his.
“Let’s give a round of applause to Elyse! With just a 0.1-point difference, she triumphed as the first-place
winner,” the announcement rang out.
Edward's expression turned sour instantly. He wondered why the host had misled him.
Darren was the first to react with joy. He cheered and hugged the bewildered Elyse, exclaiming, “You're the
winner! You're the champion of the Swan Cup.”
Geraldine approached too, placing her hand on Elyse’s shoulder with a forced smile. “Even though I didn’t win, |
genuinely congratulate you on taking first place.”
Elyse was still processing. She hesitantly asked, “Am | really first? Did | secure first place?”
Seeing her disbelief, Darren chuckled. “You don’t think the host was kidding, do you? You're the champion! You
defeated competitors from across the globe!”
The host added softly from the side, “You've always been a strong contender for first place in this year’s Swan
Cup. You have a lot of supporters.”
Gradually, Elyse embraced the truth. A smile emerged as she exclaimed, “I actually won first place. I'm the
champion!”
Nearby, Edward was clenching his teeth tightly. With tears welling up, he murmured, “No wonder you caught my

Elyse, visibly annoyed, retorted, “Your face says you're not really happy for me. You don’t sound sincere in your
congratulations.”
Edward retorted, “I only lost by 0.1 points. How could | be content? You're expecting too much, wantingto
wholeheartedly congratulate you.”
Elyse frowned. “What I'm saying is, if you can’t be genuine, then it's better not to say anything at all. Don’t force
it and make it seem like I'm forcing you.”
Edward sighed, choosing not to respond.
Darren teased, “Don’t mind him. He's always so full of himself, bragging about being the best. Now that you've
beaten him by just 0.1 points, of course he’s upset.”
Geraldine crossed her arms and nodded in agreement. “Exactly. He needs a reality check, or he'll never stop
being unbearably arrogant.”
