Everyone began to heap praises on Lucinda, and those who had been cursing her a while ago were particularly loud about it.
Carlson beamed at Lucinda, clearly pandering to her, and said, “How would you like to join the National Martial Arts Association and become the Vice-President of the Forden Branch?”
Vivien and Amanda instantly took umbrage upon hearing this.
They had counted on Lucinda leaving the venue a cripple, but not only had she won the competition, it even looked Like she was going to bag herself a fortuitous opportunity! To think that Carlson would humble himself to this degree! He had even offered her such a prestigious position on the spot!
Why, Lucinda was just some orphan from the welfare house! She was no better than a nameless urchin who would get nowhere in life! Or at least, that was how it should be.
Why was this happening?
As Vivien stewed in envy, Lucinda directly turned Carlson down.
“No, thanks. I’m not interested.”
As expected, this caused another uproar among the audience.
The National Martial Arts Association was the mecca for anyone who practiced martial arts in any capacity. And Lucinda-a young woman who had yet to make her mark in the martial arts world, had just been handed one of the highest positions in the organization.
How could she refuse Carlson’s offer just like that?
The man himself could only sigh and shake his head in disappointment.
Carlson lamented Lucinda’s youth. To him, she was young and brash, and incapable of recognizing her good fortune.
Meanwhile, below the stage, Tess was furiously typing a message on her phone. She had been doing so since it was revealed that Lucinda was Benico’s disciple. Tess’ brows were furrowed in concentration, and she took no notice of her surroundings.
Vivien glanced snidely at her and harrumphed.
“Your idea sucks, Tess!

Now, that bitch would probably be even more audacious than she already is!”
But Tess’ eyes were still fixed on her mobile screen. Soon, a triumphant smile emerged on her face.
“Don’t worry. It’s not over yet!”
Vivien was visibly confused. But before she could ask what the other woman meant, Tess stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Lucinda.
“Everyone, don’t be fooled! There is no way this woman is Benico’s disciple!”
As she spoke, she walked onto the stage and snatched the microphone from Jennifer.
A tense silence filled the hall.
“Miss Green,” Carlson frowned.
