Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 711

As the final round drew to a close, the big screen remained stubbornly black.

Unlike before, this time, the results lingered in silence.

Now the judges would analyze each solution in detail using advanced, multi-layered methods, examining how each algorithm responded under constant pressure and balanced competing objectives with apparent intelligence.

After two elimination rounds, just fifteen contestants remained. Each had earned their spot. Some stood stiff with nerves, others relaxed with confidence, and a few practically shook with anticipation as they waited for the results.

Anneliese felt a sense of fulfillment and total harmony within herself. She had pushed herself to her limits. In that moment, the result suddenly seemed almost insignificant.

Her shoulders relaxed as a subtle smile formed on her lips. She saw Wendy and Ellie in the crowd and playfully winked at them. Ellie quickly stood up and responded with a big thumbs-up and a wave.

Today, the young girl wore a bright red cape that was hard to miss.

Anneliese's smile grew even warmer. When she looked away, her eyes briefly met Gianna's across the aisle, where she was seated two seats away.

Gianna appeared utterly exhausted, with smudged makeup and a piercing, almost confrontational stare.

To an outsider, it might seem as if Anneliese had taken her mother away. However, Anneliese found this reaction odd and chose to look elsewhere.

Earlier, outside the venue, Ms. Chalmont tells Gianna to stop calling her "Mom."

I stay close enough to hear her words, though the rest fades into background noise. One thing remains clear: Gianna isn't Ms. Chalmont's daughter but her sister's.

Then, a prickly question began to stir inside her.

Then why is Gianna still the Malone heiress? Did Mr. Malone have something going on with Ms. Chalmont's sister, and is this the result? If so, that really changes how I see him.

She sighed. This kind of mess isn't exactly rare in wealthy families, but Ms. Chalmont deserves better.

Soon, her thoughts were interrupted by the host's voice.

The host declared that the big screen would soon reveal a visual breakdown of each contestant's final solution, one after another.

Her fists tightened. This isn't what I've been told. Only the top three are meant to be showcased. Why are they exposing everyone?
