Chapter 186


    Selene couldn’t believe her ears and even thought she was hallucinating.


    Keaton didn’t choose her the high achiever, but instead chose Flora, who barely knew a few words


    in Spanish,


    While she was still in shock, Flora took the USB drive from her hands and then went up to the


    stage. It was done in one fell swoop.


    By the time Selene came to her senses, Flora was already on stage.


    Carina was working as a staff member today, standing on the side of the stage. A hint of surprise


    shed in her eyes when Flora took the stage.


    She silently walked to the judges‘ table and ced bottles of mineral water in front of each


    teacher.


    “I heard that before thepetition, ss Z identally lost their speech script” Carina mentioned


    ‘casually.‘


    After she finished, the faces of the judges visibly showed displeasure. Losing the speech script was


    a matter of attitude. The judges already had a bad impression of Flora.


    Carina watched their reactions, a slight


    smile curling at theer of her lips as she retreated backstage.


    Meanwhile, the students from various sses, who were initially excited, all looked disappointed to


    see Flora on stage.


    Wasn’t it said that the genius doctor Selene was going to give the speech? Why was it changed to


    Flora?


    They had thought they would have the fortune to witness the genius doctor, Selene.


    Flora was on stage with empty hands. One of the judges picked up the microphone and asked, “Ms.


    Flora, where is your speech script?” Could it be true, as Carina said, that they lost the script?


    Flora stood straight, her gaze sharp, and replied loudly, “Before thepetition began, I had


    already memorized the content of my speech, so I do not need a script.”


    For a high school student with a limited Spanish vocabry, reciting the speech content fluently


    without stumbling was alreadymendable,


    Several groups had already performed. Flora was the first to give a speech without a


    ascript.


    The judges didn’t say much, merely stating, “Please begin your speech”


    Whether she truly memorized it or identally lost the script, the judges would know as soon as


    Flora started.


    Flora inserted the USB into theputer, opened the file, and went straight to the point.

    “Good evening, esteemed judges; our speech topic today is the rapid development of new


    technologies and their impact on the future. We have divided our discussion into three parts. The


    first part..


    Throughout the speech, she spoke fluent Spanish, which made the judges nod continuously,


    unable to hide their joy.


    Below the stage, Selene watched Flora intently, her mind going nk for a moment.


    Yvonne had told her that Flora was a repeat–year student who struggled academically, but how


    could such a student speak such fluent Spanish?


    From Carina’s angle,


    ale, she could only see half of Flora’s body.


    Flora stood at the center of the stage, so calm andposed, bathed in a radiant light. She was so


    dazzling that it was hard to look away


    Carina’s face, however, looked very unpleasant.


    That concludes all our points. My speech ends here. Thank you to all the judges for your patient


    listening.”


    As Flora’s words ended, thunderous apuse filled the room.


    “Flora is amazing! Making a speech without a script, who canpare!”


    “How could anyone but Flora do that!”


    Dane looked proud and satisfied


    Kaylee watched the glowing Flora on stage, smiling softly and warmly


    Flora, truly, was an impressive person


    The judges were very pleased with Flora’s speech.
