Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Chapter 362

While it looked good overall, it didn’t manage to snag the first place.

Rosemary announced her scores, and the other judges snapped back to reality and started scoring too.

Because Hunter left early and couldn’t score, only nine judges gave scores.

Isabella was shocked to find that she was the champ after calculating the total score of the three rounds.

The runner-up was a contestant from Dawnstar, Anna.

The third place went to Molly.

But everyone there knew that if it weren’t for Molly passing out all of a sudden, she would have been the overall winner, especially considering she got a high score just for modifying the skirt part in this round.

As Rosemary presented Isabella with her award, Isabella felt heavy-hearted because she knew better than anyone that this championship wasn’t meant to be hers.

"It’s not fair to contestant number one," Isabella suddenly said.

Whatever the reason, everyone had to accept the outcome.

"I believe contestant number one is looking forward to seeing you in the next competition," Rosemary comforted Isabella.

Isabella saw encouragement and affirmation in Rosemary’s eyes, and she could hardly believe it. When she looked again, Rosemary presented the award to the next contestant.

After the award ceremony, Rosemary addressed everyone, "All of you competing today are outstanding talents from various countries. Just being on this stage proves your exceptional ability. You’re way ahead of most designers in this industry. Although many of you didn’t get to take a trophy home, losing is not disgraceful. Those who caused trouble backstage and were taken away by the police, they are the ones who really disgraced their countries."

Rosemary’s words were firm and powerful, "As long as you have the talent, you’ll be noticed and recognized someday. Those who think they could win the trophy, we’ll see you in the next competition."

The whole place erupted in applause.

Rosemary left the stage and didn’t go to the hospital to visit Molly until the competition was over.

Meanwhile, Hunter was by the hospital bed, waiting for the person on the bed to open her eyes.

"Where is this?" Molly’s mind was still foggy.

"You’re in the hospital," Hunter saw her wake up and asked softly, "Do you feel better?"

"Why am I in the hospital?" Molly’s mind was chaotic. After a while, she suddenly realized something, "I was still in the competition."

She tried to get out of bed but felt weak and fell into Hunter’s arms.

Luckily, Hunter caught her in time. Otherwise, she would fall off the bed.

"It hurts," Molly tugged at the needle in her hand and gasped in pain.

"Are you okay?" Hunter looked down at the girl in his arms, realized they were too close, and quickly let go of her, allowing her to steady herself, "The competition is over."

"It’s over? What about me?" Molly tried hard to remember, and she seemed to not have finished her work.

The last butterfly, she didn’t even finish.

"How did it end so quickly? Did I place?" Molly saw Hunter didn’t answer, and she wanted to pull out the needle from her hand.

"You can’t pull it out," Just as Hunter spoke, Molly had already reached to tear off the medical tape on her hand.

Hunter quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "You’re going to bleed."

Yanking the needle out like that, she was not only going to bleed, but might also cause a blood clot, block blood vessels, make it harder to get another needle in, and the pain’s going to be through the roof.

"Mr. Collins, I need to get back to the competition," Molly said frantically, her face and voice filled with urgency.

She had been looking forward to and preparing for this international competition for three whole months, and there was no way she was going to end it all in haste.

"Ranking isn’t everything," Hunter tried to comfort her.

"It IS!" Molly quickly corrected him, "I’m here representing Solterra today. I can’t just quit halfway like this!"

Seeing her hesitate, Hunter couldn’t help but ask softly, "What else?"

Molly couldn’t hide the disappointment and sadness in her eyes, and she was on the verge of tears.

"I’m about to officially take over the family business. If I could win this, at least most people would accept my leadership. But now."

It was all over.

How can the family’s clothing company accept a loser who can’t even rank to manage it?

She was still so young, and there must be quite a few board members who disagreed.

She wasn’t Rosemary. Winning was the only solution she could think of.

Tears welled up in Molly’s eyes, "Mr. Collins, is the competition really over?"

"Yeah," Hunter pointed to the clock on the wall, "It’s been half an hour."

At that, all the light left Molly’s eyes.

Hunter said, "You should get some rest."

Molly didn’t know how she got back to bed, she was heartbroken, she couldn’t believe she had worked so hard for three months, only to end up like this.

Two tears silently slid down her cheeks.

For the first time, Hunter saw a girl cry without making a sound, her long eyelashes drooping, the two crystal tears falling, no sound, but the sadness was so clear, it made him feel sorry for her.

"Are you okay?" Hunter didn’t know how to comfort her, and he could only hand her a tissue.

Suddenly, Molly burst into tears, giving Hunter quite a jolt.

"Why would my stomach hurt?" Molly sobbed, "Why did it have to be then? Why did I faint? I’m so useless."

Seeing her drastic mood swings, Hunter could only comfort her, "It’s not your fault."

Molly, "I could’ve held on. Why am I so weak."

Seeing her cry so hard, Hunter could only say, "Someone poisoned you."

"Poisoned?" Molly’s tears stopped in their tracks. She instantly grabbed Hunter’s arms, "What poison? Who poisoned me? Are you saying my stomachache was someone trying to harm me?"

Hunter, "Yes."

Molly, "Who? Why would they harm me?"

"We’re not sure yet," Hunter looked at her, gripping his arms. It wasn’t convenient to break free, he tried to back away quietly, but she held on tight, "Rose is on it, she’ll find out."

"That’s too much," Molly suddenly hugged him, sobbing uncontrollably, "It’s too much. Why would they poison me? Couldn’t they wait until after the competition?"
