Chapter 52 Shame on you, Rita

‘The winner of the design competition is Brown... Rita Brown!!!’ His proud smile suddenly froze, and his brain was blank. He did a double take.

"Duke?" "Duke." It was only when Rita’s voice was heard again that he suddenly regained his mind. Then he ran into Rita’s smiling eyes.

"Duke, please call me when you are live." “!” His heart did a flip and his face took on a ghastly expression.

Seeing her beautiful smile, his irritated eyes were red and he roared, "No, it's impossible, it's impossible! The host must have misread the name. Yes, the host must have misread the name!"

"Yes, yes, the host must have it misread." Even the tutor on one side also just caught on, repeatedly saying. Charlotte, who did not spoke all the time, looking at the host hopefully. At the moment, her whole body tensed.

For a moment, there seemed to be no sound around. Her eyes were fixed on the host. “It’s the wrong name. It must be the wrong name! How can the cripple be number one! No Way!’

“Rita Brown, please come on stage to deliver a speech!” Just at this time, the host smiled and read her name again. Charlotte looked pale.

‘How could this be! Rita cannot be number one! What about herself? Is she even not on the list? That’s impossible. There must be some mistake.’

At this time, all the lights dimmed down. The spotlight was shining on Rita’s seat. All of a sudden, the people around them looked sideways. Rita suddenly became the focus of the crowd. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Wow, this designer is not only talented, but also beautiful!" Someone murmured under the stage. And then everyone nodded in agreement.

Except those beside her kept silent, almost everyone cast envious and curious eyes. Rita got up slowly and walked to the stage amidst the gazes of the crowd.

When she passed Charlotte, she stopped suddenly. Turning to see Charlotte on the seat, she reached for her forehead and said, "Not hot... Charlotte, what's the matter with you? Why do you look so pale? "

"Charlotte, do you want to go to the hospital?" Rita blinked and continued to ask. Because of her inquiry, people all looked her way.

Though she wanted to ignore Rita, in order to maintain the public image, she could only suppress her crazy jealousy and force a smile. "I’m OK, I’m OK."

"Oh." Rita said coolly. She bent over and hugged the hypocritical person, whispering, "Charlotte, you're right. Read as much as you have time. I didn't expect that after listening to you, I won the first place! Charlotte, thank you!”

Just then, Rita obviously felt that Charlotte was froze for a moment. ‘At the thought of her suggestion of not falling behind the class, Charlotte now must regret.’ Rita felt great.

Rita gave a bright smile and walked to the stage without looking back. Starting today, the Browns would change! It was time to change hands! At that moment, Rita looked confident and determined.

The high-heeled shoes on the ground made a clear sound. Every step Rita took to the stage was like stepping on Charlotte’s heart, which made her shiver uncontrollably. ‘No! No way!’ She couldn't let Rita win the prize.

"Now let's invite Liam Wilson, the president of the Wilson group, to present a prize to Rita Brown." Charlotte was wondering how could stop Rita to get the prize. Hearing this, her eyes sparkled. ‘Liam, you are here at the right time.’

Charlotte glanced at Duke, and then created a build-up. Then, she collapsed in her seat. "Sorry, I failed to live up to your expectation." With that, she turned to see the tutor beside Duke, becoming tearful.

Her piteous look was most useful to Duke, her admirer. Suddenly, Li le was deeply distressed. He quickly comforted her. "Charlotte, don't cry. It's just a design competition. Let it go. We do not care this shit competition."

"Well." She dried her tears and looked at the man and the woman on the stage. "In fact, I'm more happier that Rita can win the first place."

In this way, Charlotte’s goddess image of kindness and perfection stood up in Duke’s heart. In his mind, Charlotte was so pure and kind, just like a lotus rising unsullied from mud.

"What a coincidence! My brother-in-law presents the award to Rita. They are a perfect match for each other!" Suddenly, hearing her praise again, Duke looked glum and looked at Liam who was walking on the stage.

"Your brother-in-law is the award presenter?" "Yes, he is also the sponsor of this design competition." Charlotte looked proud.

‘No wonder! She sucks. No wonder Rita won the first place. They are a couple! She won the first place relying on a supporter and even want him to eat shit live? No way!’ Today, he was going to take advantage of the webcast to expose her ugly features.

“Rita!” Duke suddenly stood up and called her name loudly. Rita suddenly raised her head and looked at him in amazement.

“What qualifications do you have to accept an award. You have won the first prize because of your husband. Shame on you!”

When Duke said this, immediately a scene in an uproar. People cast doubt on Rita on the stage. Rita clenched the hand with the microphone.

Such a sudden situation was beyond her expectation. ‘Why was Duke suddenly against her like that? Just to go back on his word?’

At this time, Rita happened to see the stoked Charlotte. She suddenly understood that Charlotte put Duke up to it.

‘Charlotte, you did everything you could to stop me from taking the first place. You think you can stop me by playing tricks? No way! I am not the one who had been pushed around by you in the prior life!’

Rita collected her mind and turned on the microphone, asking coldly, "Sir, why did you say that?"

"Rita, you have never attended professional courses, but you just spent two months winning the first prize in the design competition. You don’t have the strength. Oh... I'm afraid that your strength is your husband Liam, the sponsor of the design competition! "

His voice was heavy with sarcasm and disdain. At this moment, there had been much debate under the stage. Especially those who had not awarded or were not satisfied with their own ranking were infected by Duke and stood up one after another to oppose Rita.

"She doesn't deserve to be number one! Go down, go down!” "The relative family is unqualified to take part in the design competition." Under the stage, the dissenting voice became ever stronger.

Looking at this scene, Charlotte smiled triumphantly. ‘Rita, I'll see how you will do.’

"Rita, get out of here!" Owing to the support of some people, Duke suddenly felt that he was right. He reached for a mineral water bottle and smashed it at Rita on the stage.

It happened suddenly and Rita was unsuspecting. It was still too late even if she dodged.

The water-filled bottle went straight to her face. Then, a pair of black leather shoes came into view. She was held in the arms, and was protected by a tall body.

Immediately, the elegant fragrance greeted her. The familiar smell made her stunned. She looked up at the man in amazement.
