When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese) novel Chapter 704

When the time came, if Gianna wanted to secure her place in the Malone family, the only way forward was to show everyone just how outstanding she was as the Malone family's eldest daughter.

Only if she performed well enough, brought honor to the Malone family, and proved her worth after being raised by them for so many years, would the Malone family not cast her aside so easily.

This competition, for Gianna, was the best opportunity to prove herself.

To ensure nothing could go wrong, Pepper had even used unknown means to help Gianna obtain the problems in advance.

Over the past two days, Gianna had given up her rest time and prepared thoroughly.

Yet, no matter how she thought about it, she never expected Anneliese to corner her right before the competition. Not only had she failed to stop Anneliese from competing, but it had even backfired and gotten herself into trouble.

Still, what her mother said was right. Gianna believed that once they were on the competition floor, she would definitely crush Anneliese and stun everyone.

Meanwhile, Anneliese had been talking with Wendy when she noticed Adrian and Steven approaching them. She knew they were probably coming to see Wendy and Ellie.

She had invited the two of them only because Wendy had saved her before, and because Ellie now needed her help. Taking all that into consideration, she had extended the invitation.

She had no intention of getting involved with Adrian and his son, especially under circumstances like today.

What was more, things had just turned unpleasant earlier, and she had no idea how many eyes were watching her now.

Anneliese immediately said to Wendy, "Ms. Chalmont, it's time to get ready for the competition. Once it's over, I'll treat you and Ellie to a meal. I'll bring the cookies I made for her as well."

After speaking, she gently patted Ellie's head and turned to leave. However, Wendy had also noticed Adrian and Steven approaching and unexpectedly reached out to stop Anneliese.

Anneliese looked at Wendy in confusion. The older woman gave her a reassuring smile but did not let go of her hand.

Anneliese had no choice but to stay where she was. By then, Adrian had already walked up to them.

He looked at Wendy with a hint of surprise. "You're here, Wendy! You didn't tell me ahead of time; otherwise, I could have arranged for someone to bring you and Ellie inside the venue first."
