Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 2396-After the speech ended, thunderous apuse erupted.


    Darcie smiled and said, "Mallory, why don''t you say a few words?"


    Mallory nodded, nced at the crowd, and briefly made eye contact with Ste before looking away.


    "Hello, everyone. I''m Mallory. I''m delighted to be working with you all. Thanks to Mrs. Saun''s persistent invitations, I have finally returned to Hustuabourg after dealing with some personal matters. I feel quite embarrassed for the dy. As for the title Mrs. Saun mentioned, I feel even more humbled. I''m just an ordinary perfumer like you, with a bit more luck and experience.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    I don''t consider myself qualified to be a teacher, as talent and creativity are more crucial in perfumery than experience. However, if my experience can help you avoid pitfalls and enhance your skills, I would be honored."


    After speaking, Mallory put her hands together and waved to the crowd. "Please guide me and let''s progress together."


    Her modesty and sincerity were particrly impressive.


    Ste overheard someone nearby say, "The Goddess is not what I imagined. She''s very approachable."


    "Yeah, I thought with such a high title, she''d be difficult to deal with. Turns out I was wrong."


    "Is Boss Saun hoping she''ll help the youngdy reach the finals? The youngdy can''t even distinguish spices. Isn''t it like a master carrying a novice through a championship game?" "Shh, keep your voice down. Are you asking for trouble?" Ste frowned, worried.


    Two consecutive championships... Is there still a chance for Sonia?


    She turned tofort Sonia but found her engrossed in her phone.


    Ste looked down, noticing Sonia was ying Candy Crush, sliding her fingers roughly across the screen, seemingly agitated.


    "Sonia," Ste called gently.


    Sonia looked up.


    "Don''t stress so much," Ste said softly. "Just do your best. Winning the championship is up to fate. Whether you win or not, you''re still the best."


    She remembered her brother''s advice on how to encourage the little girl.


    Sonia didn''t respond immediately, and it was unclear if she listened. After a long pause, she suddenly said, "I''ve seen her before."


    Ste was surprised and was about to ask where, but Sonia continued.


    "In his wallet."


    Ste understood immediately.


    She must be talking about her brother Trevor.


    Keegan had mentioned that Trevor and Mallory were childhood sweethearts. The girl''s family faced a crisis, leading her to move away and marry someone else. Trevor even tried to stop the wedding, showing how much he cared. It wasn''t surprising he kept Mallory''s photo in his wallet for years.


    But Ste remembered he had


    changed it recently. Last time he left his wallet in her car she saw a family photo inside and a picture of Sonia on top.


    She had joked, saying he might have a crush on the kid she''d watched grow up.
