    Chapter 606


    Comparing both writing motions, Vermont whispered to Keegan who was next to him, "Ste''s hands


    are shaking so much, and she looks like her words are too squiggly.Are you sure it''s not her


    tenosynovitis acting up?"


    Keegan frowned and impolitely replied, "Will you shut that ill- omened mouth of yours?"


    Jaylene, who had practiced for some time, moved her pen smoothly, and her part of the couplet was


    soonpleted.


    Vermont stretched himself to have a better look.


    Jaylene wrote in semi-cursives fluidly and meaningfully, writing out every stroke.


    Even Vermont, a calligraphy illiterate, could not help but admit that the calligraphy was well written.


    He then turned to look at Ste, only to see her hands still shaking.


    ''That''s it.She''s definitely going to lose this," he thought.


    Vermont pondered before he said, ''''Why don''t you pretend to slip and spill wine over your wife''s


    calligraphy? Getting through this is much better than losing face."


    Keegan scowled, took a ss of wine from a nearby tray, passed it to Vermont, and said, "You go."


    Vermont looked at the ss of wine in his hand, looked at Ste, then bit his lips as he ced the ss


    of wine back on the tray.


    "I''m too thin-skinned."


    Keegan harrumphed, "Weak-willed man!"


    Unable to retort, Vermont kept silent.


    Dahlia nced at Mrs.Chapman after she saw Ste''s calligraphy.


    Mrs.Chapman gave an understanding eye and said, "Ms.Jewell, what''s taking you so long to write the


    calligraphy? Ms.Saun had already finished writing it a long time ago."


    Ste, not lifting her head nor stopping her pen for even a moment, said indifferently, ''Is there a time


    limit to this?"


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Mrs.Chapman replied with a smile, "Of course not.But, what''s the point of keeping everyone waiting if


    we know how bad your writing would already be?"


    Jaylene rebutted, "Mrs.Chapman, please refrain from disturbing Ms.Jewell as calligraphy requires


    concentration."


    Mrs.Chapman sneered, "Is there even a need to disturb her when her hands are moving akin to


    shaking a sieve rather than a pen?"


    Everyone roared inughter at what Mrs.Chapman said, fully knowing that Ste would already lose


    from the way she wrote.


    Mrs.Chapman turned quiet after Cordelia raised her hand and eximed, "Quiet….Quiet"


    Ste took a few minutes more to finish, stood up as she put her pen down, and looked at the crowd.


    "Sorry for taking everyone''s time.My hands are rusty from not practicing for some time."


    Cordelia smiled with her eyes and said warmly, "It''s fine.Taking your time writing means you''ve put


    more effort into it."


    Her favoritism showed, but the crowd was not blind to how bad the calligraphy was even if she


    disagreed.


    Two attendants came up, held both the calligraphies up, and disyed them to the crowd.


    Jaylene''s calligraphy instantly attracted the crowd''s attention.


    "The calligraphy is well written and just as beautiful as the person writing it."


    "What an exceptional student that Mr.Marco taught."


    "Such skills even at a young age."


    Praises rang as Jaylene''s calligraphy was being disyed, yet Ste''s work made everyone stumbled


    into silence.Her calligraphy was not unintelligible, yet it was leagues apart whenpared to


    Jaylene''s.


    Auroraughed without a hint of hesitation.


    You call that calligraphy? Even Mrs.Chapman''s youngest daughter could write better than that."
