Chapter 556 I Want Her to Die with Me! As rounds of applause erupted, the organizers of the Wolkin competition presented a list of finalists. Seated in the audience, Lisa’s gaze was unswervingly fixed on the thin sheet of paper, her fingers clenched into a fist. According to the rules, twenty individuals would advance to the finals among the submitted architectural designs. An international panel of judges would then determine the ultimate allocation of the gold, silver, and bronze awards. Previously, Charlotte had obtained the gold award from Wolkin. Perhaps due to the commotion at the entrance or the prestige of being a former gold medalist, Charlotte could feel countless eyes cast upon her, carrying subtle scrutiny. Charlotte lowered her eyes, a faint smile tugging at her lips, her expression remarkably indifferent. “I am honored to announce that the outstanding designers who have made it to the finals this time are…” The organizers looked at the list and read out the names one by one. The finalists displayed joy and happiness, while those who didn’t make it felt a sense of disappointment, inevitably
showing traces of envy and jealousy. Charlotte glanced at Lisa not far away, whose dress had already been wrinkled from being clenched, her emotions on the verge of overflowing. “Charlotte Clinton.” The organizers looked in Charlotte’s direction and announced solemnly. As this result was revealed, the whole venue erupted in commotion. Many people held the same thought as Lisa, even if Charlotte had clarified the plagiarism issue
outside; that was just a moment ago. Enter title… It should be noted that the final list had been out for at least three days, back when Charlotte was still a designer embroiled in scandal! The organizers knew everyone’s concerns and explained, “Miss Clinton sent us the clarification document and the police announcement ten days ago. We are fortunate not to have missed out on such an outstanding designer due to defamation.” Charlotte smiled in acknowledgment. When she looked back to where Lisa had been, she found that Lisa was nowhere to be seen. Furrowing her brows, Charlotte realized that Lisa’s name was not on the list of finalists. She hadn’t made it. Next was the celebratory banquet, and Charlotte stood amidst the crowd, receiving congratulations from various people, some sincere and others not so much, her smile faint. Suddenly, a figure emerged from somewhere, rushing fiercely toward Charlotte. Charlotte’s reflexes were lightning-fast. She grabbed that person’s arm and swiftly brought her down to the ground. Securing her grip on the person’s arm, she took a closer look and confirmed that it was Lisa. In her current state, Lisa appeared frantic, her eyes bloodshot and her mouth continuously roaring, “Let go of me! Charlotte, it must be your dirty tricks that got me robbed of my spot! Claiming you informed the organizers early is all lies!”
“I am going to kill you!” Lisa stared intensely at Charlotte, suddenly revealing a sinister smile. A sense of danger surged through Charlotte. She quickly straightened up, attempting to evade Lisa. But Lisa had already produced a syringe and plunged it into Charlotte’s arm. Reacting swiftly, Charlotte pulled her arm back, but the syringe was already partially emptied, indicating that some substance had been injected into her body. “Ah!” The arrival of Joe forcefully restrained Lisa’s hand, and the syringe fell to the ground. With a cold and ruthless glare, Joe looked at Lisa scornfully and demanded, “What’s in the syringe?” Lisa, however, burst into laughter, “I won’t tell you! I want her to die with me!”
