SWNOVELS Chapter 23
Chapter 23 First Place
Laurel looked at Bruno's speech.
Bruno was very nervous.
He should not be nervous on this occasion.
Did he have pressure because of Hayden's speech?
Except for the image before, Bruno didn't have any advantages in front of Hayden. He couldn't be compared with Hayden.
Back then, after Hayden rose sharply, Laurel knew that Bruno was inferior to Hayden. After all, with her and many other. people's support, Bruno still couldn't compete with Hayden. Thus, he was not a match for Hayden..
Shelley looked at the screen and estimated, "Now I think. Bruno is not so excellent."
The staff who just talked with Shelley excitedly now didn't dare to speak.
Bruno was Laurel's fiancé and soon they would marry. They didn't dare to say something bad in front of Laurel.
Only Shelley could say it without scruple.
But to their surprise, hearing Shelley's words, Laurel didn't even retort her.
She seemed to agree with Shelley's thought.

Didn't the rumors say that Laurel loved Bruno very much?
They didn't think Laurel loved him so much.
In the VIP reception room, they were here to check the crown. However, everyone present was focused on the selection of prominent youths. There were 5 candidates in this selection. They would have a speech one by one.
Generally, Hayden's speech was the best. And he was the first one. Hayden eclipsed the other candidates.
The part of speech was over.
The audience and the judges would vote for them.
In Laurel's previous life, Bruno got first place.
But now, Laurel stared at the host nervously.
The host held the card and said.
"The results come in. According to the 5 candidates' contributions and their speeches, we get a synthesis score. First place goes to..." All the people were nervous.
The staff stared at the screen with her fingers crossed.
Even Laurel was nervous, too.
She didn't know if the result could be changed.
Would it be different from the result in her previous life?

Laurel tried to calm down.
The host wanted to make the audience nervous, so she paused before she announced the result.
She waited for a few seconds.
Then, the host read the card, "Bruno Scott!"
There was a big round of applause.
The director quickly focused the camera on Bruno.
There was a flash of nervousness on Bruno's face. Laurel saw
it clearly.
The next second, he acted calmly and gently as usual.
Bruno bowed to the judges and the audience.
He looked humble and elegant.
Most people would like his image.
Shelley was somewhat disappointed. "Tsk, there's not surprise."
The staff felt pity but didn't dare to say much. She just murmured, "Mr. Gilbert obviously has a better performance..." The staff was afraid that Laurel would hear it and would be
angry.
Actually, even Laurel was somewhat disappointed.
She thought something might change.
Laurel adjusted her emotions.

She was ready to leave.
However, the host suddenly said excitedly, "And Hayden Gilbert! Congratulations, Mr. Gilbert!"
It was so sudden.
On the screen, Bruno's smile stiffened.
He couldn't hide his emotions.
However, the camera soon cut to Hayden's face.
He seemed to accept this result frankly.
Before the result was announced, he kept smiling.
Now, he also got first place. Hayden still looked calm and steady.

Shelley couldn't help but say, "He performs well on the stage."
It was praise, but sounded like Shelley was roasting.
However, Hayden really surprised people. His brilliance and talent were hard to ignore.
It was normal that Shelley couldn't accept it immediately.
"I know that Mr. Gilbert is the best!" the staff said excitedly. She might be afraid that Laurel would be angry. The staff added, "Of course, Mr. Scott also performs well." Laurel chuckled.
Hayden really gave her a surprise.
Laurel said to Shelley, "Let's go."

Laurel ignored Shelley's words. She said to the staff, "Please send the crown to the Lambert's house."
The staff replied, "Yes, Ms. Lambert."
Laurel walked out of the reception room.
Before Shelley went out, she still stared at the screen.
Now, Hayden and Bruno were in the same shot.
Shelley thought, "Well, Laurel really has a good taste.
Hayden is much more handsome than Bruno."
Shelley chased after Laurel and got in her car.
As soon as she got in the car, Shelley kept talking about Hayden. Even if Laurel didn't reply, Shelley was still excited.
Laurel suddenly said, "I asked Nathan to have lunch with us."
Shelley was stunned.
She looked at Laurel blankly and asked, "What did you say just now?"
Laurel repeated, "I said that I asked Nathan to have lunch with us at Hero Restaurant."
Shelley shouted excitedly, "Are you crazy?"
Shelley was going to be mad.
However, Laurel smiled, "Why are you so excited? Nathan

"He's been back over half a month, but you want to welcome him now? Moreover, when do you become friends?"
"We have known each other since we were kids. Can't we be
considered friends?"
"But you know that I hate him." Shelley looked wrong.
Laurel curled her lips. "I remembered that you said you liked him.”
Shelley's face blushed. She said indignantly, "Back then, I was just 15 or 16 years old. I didn't know about love. That's just an impulse. I thought my heart beat faster when I saw him. Actually, I misunderstood it. When I met Paul, I started to know about love."
"Is that so?"
"Of course. Paul and I are so sweet. Our relationship is even. better than you and Bruno... No, Paul and I won't be like you and Bruno. We'll stay together until we die!" Shelley said firmly
