Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 268

Wendy was brave enough to cause a scene in front of Serena but she didn't have the courage to make a fuss in front of the other judges.

She left the competition hall, frustrated, and returned to the waiting room.

However, before she even stepped inside, she heard mocking laughter from within.

"She walked in wearing a luxury gown, and I really thought she had this in the bag. Who knew she'd get roasted by the judges instead?"

"Hilarious! She was like a performing clown. My younger sister could match her skills after two years of practice at home. I have no idea where she got the confidence to think she could fool the judges with cheap tricks!"

"Exactly! That critique hit the mark."

The contestants in this competition all came from wealthy, powerful families. When they mocked someone, they didn't bother being subtle.

Wendy's hand tightened around the doorknob, but she couldn't bring herself to turn it.

She was being looked down on again. And once again, it was because of Serena.

She didn't have the courage to step inside.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard something else.

"But now that I think about it, I don't actually recognize the fifth judge. I think her last name was Jansen?"

"Yeah, I don't know her either but I feel like I've heard the name somewhere before."

They didn't even know who Serena was? Wendy froze.

Now that she thought about it, she only knew that Serena was good at the violin. But if these contestants didn't recognize her, didn't that mean she had skill, but not famous?

A calculating glint flashed in Wendy's eyes. Then, she turned and left in a hurry.

With Hugh's level of power and wealth, if he was even remotely suspected of a crime, every news outlet would be reporting it within five minutes. Not only that, but the police would be at his door and even his family would be under strict control.

Ruth, suddenly feeling awkward, rubbed her nose. "I just thought maybe you love him, so you trust him that much."

Serena had no words for that. She didn't even bother explaining and instead stood up to head to the next table for more information.

The two ladies at the next table were caught off guard but, seeing that Serena was polite and just asking questions, they kindly explained the situation.

"There's a rumor going around online that the Javerton City Violin Competition had a judge who got in through connections—basically, someone who used her man to get the position. Because of that, people are questioning the competition's credibility and are now digging into your background."

One of the ladies hesitated before adding, "We actually attended a Larson family charity gala before, so we recognized you. We're really sorry for discussing your private affairs in public. We were just curious."

Both of them lowered their heads in apology.
