Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1917

The host patiently repeated the question, "Can you tell everyone why you decided to enter this competition? Is it to develop your interests or to prove your skills?"

Asher replied, "It's winter break, and I was bored, so I thought I'd join in for fun."

There was a collective pause as the audience processed his words.

However, Elliot and Sheena were completely unfazed, as Asher's response was exactly what they had expected.

Noticing the curious looks directed their way, Sheena shrugged and said with a hint of pride, "Our boy is just honest. He could've lied and said he was here for the title, but he's straightforward and doesn't feel the need to sugarcoat things."

Elliot just sighed, shaking his head slightly.

The audience began to wonder about the family's background, sensing they were not ordinary people.

The host was slightly taken aback.

He tried to play along with a smile, "Well, Asher is certainly an interesting child."

The crowd was left speechless.

Indeed, he was an interesting child.

The self-introduction phase dragged on, and Adora grew restless.

Parents in the audience mainly focused on their phones, except when their own children were being introduced.

Finally, the introductions ended, and the competition officially began.

Adora was excited.

This round's questions were tougher than previous ones, and the pace of answering slowed.

However, these challenges did not faze Asher.

He provided answers quickly, leading to whispers in the crowd suggesting he might be cheating.

Adora overheard and became annoyed, "What are you saying? Just because he's fast doesn't mean he's cheating. Asher is just that good. If you think it's so easy, why don't you try?"

Her retort quieted them immediately as they knew they could not match Asher's skills.

Everything was going smoothly until there were three questions left.

Suddenly, Asher wavered and could not solve the problem.

The handsome young boy frowned deeply, staring intently at the answer board in front of him.

Sheena noticed something was off with Asher. "Why does he look unwell?" she wondered aloud.

Adora suddenly stood up and shouted, "Asher, stay calm!"

Asher froze for a moment, then began to regulate his breathing.

Slowly, his pen moved steadily across the paper, and the sweat on his forehead started to lessen.

He remembered Sheena's advice: stay composed no matter what happens, focus on your goal, and hold on.

With that thought, his pen moved faster.

Asher's answer appeared two minutes later, and his answer board lit up.

The other contestants, who had been mocking his state, were silenced when they saw his board.

It turned out their answers were wrong.

Asher's solution was more detailed, containing twice as many steps as theirs.

His thorough explanation clearly showed every step.

Everyone else had overlooked one crucial detail: the importance of solving the operations inside the parentheses first.

The host was visibly stunned by Asher's answer.
