Yvonne couldn't stand being ignored any longer. Especially now that Marietta was dead, she didn't have to put up a pretense anymore. Thus, she nudged Caroline with her elbow in a haughty manner. When her phone almost fell to the floor, Caroline raised her head in annoyance."Caroline, we meet again. You probably didn't know that I'm participating in this competition too. I bet you find it strange."Caroline frowned disdainfully, as if she were looking at an imbecile. She continued looking at her phone without saying a word. She still hadn't gotten a response. "Hey!"
