The Runaway Groom Chapter 257
Chapter 257
The entire sportsplex erupted in an uproar before the host could finish–every parent was
absolutely livid, while the contestants were dumbstruck.
They had been sitting there and waiting for so long, only to be told that thepetition
didn’t count.
“Why?! Our children had practiced so hard and did so well! Why shouldn’t this count just because you
said so?”
“That’s right! I even applied for leave to watch my kids!”
“Are you calling the entirepetition moot? What happened? We need an exnation!”
The parents were soon filing out of the audience seats and entered the court, causing pandemonium.
“Please calm down, everyone. We’ve just received word that one of the judges is an impersonator,
which is why we cannot ept the scores legally.”
The voices of discontent only grew louder.

“What’s happening? How could someone impersonate a judge?”
“It’s your own oversight, isn’t it?”
As variousints were belted at the organizers, the man who spoke with Irene just now came to a
retaliation. Leaning in to whisper into her ear, he asked, “Do you think you’ve been found out?”
Irene, however, was certainly aware that she was being targeted.
Right now, Robin must be hiding somewhere, watching and anticipating Irene making a clown of
herself.
Pretending to be terrified, Irene asked, “What should I do?”
“Why don’t you leave for now?” The man suggested.
Irene knew she would never escape, but agreed nheless. “Yeah.”
As she started to move, however, Robin darted out of nowhere and caught her by her wrist, while
shouting to the disgruntled parents, “It’s her! She was pretending to be a judge although she doesn’t
know how to dance, let alone adjudicate! She’s the reason thispetition is moot. me her if you
want!”
At her voice, everyone turned their crosshairs at Irene.
Irene hung her head as if petrified, but only Isaac–who just entered–saw the coldness in
her eyes from the distance.
She was brimming with confidence, so he simply watched without interfering.
“Who died and made you judge? Why take the chair if you can’t do the job?”
“She can get anything with that pretty face of hers…”
Believing that Irene knew nothing, everyone was convinced that she took the role of judge through
unsavory means.
“My daughter practiced for over a month before thispetition, but it’s all for nothing! How are you
going to make up for our time and our children’s efforts?”
Some of the agitated parents were starting to get ahead of themselves, but the friendly male judge
stopped them.
“She just came as a stand–in. She didn’t mean any harm,” he tried to exin, but it only made things
worse–everyone became even more unhappy!
“What right does she have to be a stand–in? Also, she means no harm?! She’s hurting everyone
anyway!”
“Yeah! She mustpensate us and apologize…”
“Compensation and apology? That’s letting her off easy…”
Robin was grinning as she watched everyone scorn Irene, but just as she thought she had won, Irene
suddenly looked up, meeting the upset parents and said, “Have I ever said I’m not qualified?”
While everyone was left stunned, Robin simply thought that Irene was making ast–ditch. effort to slip
away.
“You’re qualified? Who do you think you’re fooling?” Robinughed. “Just apologize already!
“Not just an apology! She mustpensate everyone!”
As pandemonium ensued again, Irene calmly took out a card, “You can verify if this is real.”
It was her teaching license, which Miss Lang gave her a while ago.
Robin was left in disbelief. “How could you have one?”
Irene simply waved it at her face. “But I do have it.”
Robin thought then that it must be a mistake–no one could get a teaching license
overnight, just as you could learn to dance overnight.
Bolstered by the thought, Robin snapped, “Even if you have that, it doesn’t prove you can dance! It’s
nothing more than a fake!”
