Previously, Ivana Bennett had countless expectations and visions for this competition.
She had even made thorough preparations for the potential finals.
But...
Now, when she truly heard that she had made it to the finals, she could only give up this opportunity.
"Not going?" Angie could barely believe her ears. "Did… Did I hear that wrong?!"
"No." Ivana pulled herself together. "You didn't hear it wrong. I really want to quit..."
Before she could say the word "quit," her hand suddenly felt light—the phone had already been snatched away by Lucas Walker.
"She's heading to Ebonmere tomorrow."
Talking into the phone, Lucas Walker spoke unequivocally.
On the other side of the line, Angie heard the vaguely familiar, pleasant male voice and found herself momentarily unable to react.
"You… What did you say?!"
"Ivana is heading to Ebonmere tomorrow. Arrange her trip to Hong Kong."
Lucas Walker repeated firmly.
"Oh… Okay."
