Chapter 178 This Damn Competitiveness
But May didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what she had said.
In her eyes, the moment Alan chose Grace instead of her, it had already caused a rift in their teacher–
student relationship.
Therefore, May pursed her lips and said bluntly, “Professor, your chosen candidate doesn’t seem like
much.”
Alan’s expression darkened.
When Grace saw this, she made a decision. “Ms. Elliot, I’m willing to compete with you.”
May nodded. “Good. You’ve got guts. But I’ll be straight with you.
“I’m going to show you no mercy, so you’d better be prepared to lose.”
May was very confident in her own abilities.
Grace answered calmly, “Let’s wait and see. However, Ms. Elliot, we should always remember to
respect our teachers.”
May’s expression changed immediately. “Who are you to lecture me?“.
Grace replied confidently, “I wouldn’t presume to do so. I was just reminding you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMay looked at Alan. She was clearly embarrassed by Grace’s words.
“Professor, I…
Alan waved her off. “Don’t worry about it. We’re all old now. We should hand the stage over to
you youngsters.
“Since that’s the case, show us what you’ve got and let everyone see for themselves.
“I’m sure the audience has keen eyes and can clearly tell who the winner is.”
May’s eyes darkened. She was just too competitive.
She had to win.
“Grace, let’s let our skills do the talking. Three days later, bring your work. I want to see how good you
really are.”
Grace didn’t back down. “Okay. Then, it’ll be down to our work.”
Their eyes met, and both of them carried a strong energy.
Right after that, May turned and left.

Everyone there had seen all kinds of things before. They were gleeful at the sight of Grace and May
having a face–off and refusing to back down.
Someone even tried to fan the flames of the fire.
“Alan, don’t make a fuss out of things. May has been with you for so many years! Don’t make things
awkward.
“May has always been a reliable, hard worker. Why are you making things difficult for her because of a
newbie? It doesn’t seem right.
“I’m looking forward to this competition, even though the result is a given. But …”
The man who had spoken glanced at Grace with mirth in his eyes. He didn’t think that she would be
able to win.
“… Alan, I’m afraid you’ll regret it!”
At his words, the crowd exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. Only Alan remained as calm
as ever.
“Don’t be hasty. We don’t even have the results yet. Don’t get too happy, either. After all, he who laughs

No one disagreed with him.
“Right. Then let us wait for the result three days from now.”
After everyone left, only Grace, Emily, and Alan remained in the room.
Emily was a tactful person and knew that Grace and Alan needed to talk. She turned to Grace
and said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Then, she left Grace and Alan alone.
Grace didn’t really understand why Alan had chosen her.
As if sensing her questions, Alan spoke first. “Don’t think about it too much. Just take it seriously and
make a design.”
His words were full of comfort and encouragement.
Grace swallowed back what she had been about to say. She didn’t want to disappoint him.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
