The shop assistant who had just been chatting enthusiastically with Seraphina dared not interrupt now.
Everyone knew that Dominic was Cecilia’s fiancé, and they were about to get married soon. Who would dare to speak ill of Dominie in front of Cecilia? Only Seraphina could be so brave.
What surprised the shop assistant was that when Seraphina criticized Dominie, Cecilia didn’t react at all.

There were live participants in the competition who had given speeches on stage.
Overall, Alaric’s speech was indeed much better than the others, and he was the first to appear, stunning everyone and overshadowing the rest of the contestants in front of the judges.
The speeches concluded. The live voting took place, with the senior judges on–site making the final decision.
In Cecilia’s previous life, Dominic had received this honor.
However, this time, Cecilia was a bit nervous as she watched the host holding the card in his hand, saying, “The live voting results are in. Based on the contributions of the five candidates to society and their performance during the speeches, the winner is…”

Seraphina seemed somewhat disappointed. There’s really no surprise
“Clearly, Mr. Whitaker is better, the shop assistant whispered with finge of regret in her tone but didn’t dare say too much, afraid of upsetting Cecilia.
Cecilia actually felt a bit disappointed at that moment, She had thought she could–change something. She adjusted her emotions, preparing to leave.
At that moment, the host suddenly excitedly announced, “And, Alaric Congratulations, Mr. Whitaker!”
It was an unexpected announcement.
Dominic’s smile instantly froze. His emotional shift was truly hard to conceal.
However, the camera had already moved to Alaric’s face. He seemed to accept the result with great composure.

“I always thought Mr. Whitaker was better.” The shop assistant couldn’t contain her excitement. She was afraid of offending Cecilia and quickly added, “Just like Mr. Kingsley.”
Cecilia chuckled slightly. Alaric did surprise her.
She said to Seraphina, “Let’s go.”
“Aren’t we going to see the award ceremony?” Seraphina seemed reluctant to leave.
Cecilia ignored Seraphina’s question and told the staff, “Please send this Crown to the Lockhart family mansion.”
“Of course, Ms. Lockhart, the shop assistant replied promptly.
Cecilia left the reception room. As Seraphina followed out, she glanced back a few times, seeing Alaric and Dominic on the screen together at that moment. “Shit, Cecilia is indeed wise. No matter what. Alaric is much more handsome than Dominic.”
She quickly caught up and got into Cecilia’s car.

“I said I made a lunch appointment with Dashiell at the Crimson Spice Tavern restaurant, to have yenir favorite local dishes,” Cecill repeated
Are you out of your mind? Seraphina suddenly became excited and her hair was almost standing on end.
Cecilia smiled. “Why are you so worked up? Dashiell has returned he shouldn t we treat him as a friend?
“He’s been back for half a month, and now you want to treat him? Hesides, when did you two become friends? asked Seraphina.
Cecilia said. “We grew up together. If that’s not friendship, then whi
“You know I really dislike him. Seraphina looked a bit aggrieved.
Cecilia refuted, “I remember you used to say you liked him.”
Seraphina blushed instantly. “That was because I was young and ignorant about love. Besides, back then, at 15 or 16, I didn’t know what liking someone meant. It was just during puberty, that thinkinga faster heartheat meant liking someone. When in fact, it was just occasional irregularities in the heart rate, my own misinterpretation.
