NovelEnglishChapter 50 Not a Participant
Lyla’s friend angrily said, “How can your sister act like that?! Since you’re both participating in the
competition, it should depend on each person’s ability! It’s up to one’s ability to receive praise from the
judges. Even if she prevents you from participating, can she stop the others?” Lyla sighed helplessly.
“She just doesn’t want to let me compete. Ever since we were young, she has always wanted whatever
I had, and I’ve gotten used to letting her have her way. Still, this was such a rare opportunity to prove
myself using my own abilities! But, I’m afraid my dreams are going to be dashed again.” “What are you
afraid of? What can she do to you in front of so many people? You have to quickly get up and prepare
yourself. I’m the first to go out, and you’re the last. What about her? What number is she?”
She lowered her head, looking pitiful as she said, “I don’t know. I didn’t even know she was
participating. If I knew, I wouldn’t have joined.” Her friend then said, “Why wouldn’t you join? You can’t

that’s all the more reason to take first place in the competition and rub it in her face.” Lyla nodded.
“Hurry up and finish your preparations. I’m fine.” Her friend made a noncommittal sound of agreement,
then she left. At the same time, the crowd surrounding them slowly dispersed. After that, a cold smile
appeared on Lyla’s lips. Camila, if you keep your mouth shut, things will end here peacefully. Or else…
I wonder just how you’re going to explain away what just happened! At 8.50 AM, some of the sponsors
began entering the venue. Camila’s seat at the judges’ seats and the sponsors’ seats were on opposite
sides of the hall. However, she couldn’t see Silas. I guess he might not be coming; he’s a busy man
after all.
To be honest, it had been a long while since they last met. It’s a little strange-it feels like we are
deliberately trying to avoid each other. I didn’t dare to approach him for fear of being misunderstood.
Similarly, he hasn’t tried to approach me either. Still, I hope he will come today. I want to see what his
reaction would be when he learns that I’m Angel. Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a tall and
slender figure appeared at the entrance of the venue-it was the man she was just thinking about. He
was dressed in a black suit, which emphasized his strong and fit body; his expressionless face made
him seem cold and distant. A strong and powerful aura overflowed from him, keeping the people
around him on their toes. Xavier followed beside him, along with several
d
other staff members that led him to the VIP seat. All the other sponsors immediately stood up to greet
him, and he casually nodded at them in acknowledgment. All of a sudden, Camila felt her spirits lifting.
Thus, she got up, walked toward Silas, and greeted him, “Mr. Nolan.” A flash of surprise flitted across
Silas’s face, followed by an unexpected burst of euphoria. “Why are you here? Are you participating in
this competition too?” She pursed her lips with a mischievous smile in her eyes, then vaguely
responded, “Yeah, I didn’t expect to see you here.” He nodded; that was what he wanted to say too.

In response, she smiled and nodded. “Okay. Please take a seat; I’m heading back.” Thus, he
responded, “Okay, we’ll catch up later.” However, his gaze never left her back. During this time, he had
been suffering greatly. The scene of her sitting opposite Brian in a couple’s booth kept replaying itself in
his mind-Brian had been holding a bowl of candy in his hands and she had been smiling heartily. Every
time he thought about it, he found himself feeling dispirited. Brian seems to be quite taken with her. As
his brother, I should keep my distance from her. For that reason, he had been keeping himself
extremely busy-so busy that he had no time to meet her, nor think about her.
But…
At that moment, he clearly understood that he had desperately wanted to meet her. The joy in his heart
wasn’t something he could suppress no matter how hard he tried.
It wasn’t until Silas saw Camila sitting down at the judges’ seats that he felt a little surprised. Could it be
that she isn’t a designer participating in the competition, but a judge?
