Chapter 652
And just like that, the curtains of the venue were yanked open from outside.
Everyone’s eyes darted towards the entrance, and lo and behold, Princess Matilda strolled in.
A few judges scrambled to their feet, placing their hands over their chests in a salute to Princess Matilda.
The event organizer rushed up to her, standing by her side.
“Your Highness, you came?”
Matilda gave a gentle smile, “Yeah, I didn’t want to miss today’s competition.”
The organizer’s face changed slightly. Right now, the last batch of competitors were competing, and the materials

“Cough.”
Princess Matilda was led to her seat, but during the walk, she gave a light cough. The organizer immediately had
someone bring her water,
“Your Highness, are you sick?”
Matilda smiled lightly and shook her head, “Just a little cough, it happens from time to time.”
Princess Matilda smiled and looked towards the stage. When she met Chloe’s gaze, she paused slightly. Sensing
Princess Matilda’s gaze, Chloe turned her eyes, saw her, and gave a little nod. The noble and peaceful

In the end, only Chloe was left.
The judges were impatient, hoping to wrap things up and take a breather. They knew there was unlikely to be any

Then, a pair of calm but wise and confident eyes scanned the table and finally found a clean and unused glass test
tube.
She reached out, picked up the test tube, and then smashed it on the ground. The sound of glass shattering startled
everyone in the room.
“What are you doing?”
Chloe didn’t answer. Her next actions left everyone in shock. Princess Matilda couldn’t help but cover her mouth
and gasped softly.
