The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 1648



"One hundred points!"

The crowd cheered again-the Cloudnine Sect apprentices were really something else, both scoring full points.

It was clear that the first and second places were decided for the year!

"Hmph..."

Ira, however, snorted in disdain. "What's so surprising? One of them was just lucky getting it right, and then sneaked the answer to the other. Why wouldn't they obtain a perfect score at that point?"

"Oh, right, right, right..."

"Exactly, man..."

The other participants around Ira smiled and agreed, not daring to argue with him.

In reality, however, everyone had been watching, and they knew that the pair from Cloudnine Sect never said a word to each other from the start. They were clearly depending on their own skill, so Ira's suggestion that they were cheating was certainly untrue.

If anything, Ira was just being a sore loser and trying to instigate the crowd.

Though everyone knew that, they would not accuse Ira, as they were wary of the rich kid's influence.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Alright, is anyone else participating?"

Seeing that most of the crowd had taken their turn and wrote their answers, Mole looked around at the crowd to make sure no one had missed out.

A long silence ensued, but just as Mole was going to announce that the first trial was over, a man strode up.

Naturally, it was none other than Frank, who strode up to the cauldron as everyone watched.

There was only sediment left since everyone had had their sip at this point, it was not just difficult to identify anything.

It was impossible, and even Kairo would inevitably make a mistake if he tried at this stage.

Kairo recognized Frank too, as Frank had been staring at Horey earlier and sighing sympathetically.

Still, he was bemused-was Frank deliberately failing his trial by waiting until the last moment to taste the soup? "Hahaha..."

On the other hand, Ira was laughing

in clear disdain as Frank reached the cauldron. "Hey, kid-are you trying to show-off, coming last to try the soup? Do you think this is the place to do so?"

"Just take a look-the soup is basically finished aside from some scraps If you can identify the herbs

used, don't mind getting down on my knees to sing for you! Hahaha!"

Ira was just feeling frustrated after Kairo and Horey one-upped him, which was why he did not hold back from mocking Frank when Frank stepped up last.

And while Ira's diss stung, Kairo was frowning too, because Ira was right.

For a taste test like this, coming first was important.

The drop in temperature would already affect the mixture's properties and taste, which in turn influences judgment of the composition.

The fact that Frank came last meant there were not many pointers to help him identify anything.

In fact, Kairo was at first a little wary

that Frank might be the real deal, what with the way he sympathized with his junior. However, the fact that Frank now waited until the end to try the soup made him look like he was just being deliberately dramatic to draw attention.

Just as Ira had put it, Frank was just trying to show off and nothing else, just to make himself look important.
