Jade's face paled for a second. "What? Miles, you actually believe their claim that the microphone malfunctioned?"

Macy also added in surprise, "Yeah, Miles, Leo is today's champion. Caleb's microphone was perfectly fine."

Wesley panicked. Did his brother-in-law notice something?

If he sent someone to investigate and found out about the collusion with the staff, what would happen?

Putting on a strained smile, he said anxiously, "Miles, that's unfair to Leo. In the competition just now, Leo buzzed in and answered first. He got the answer, and Caleb didn't, how can you..."

A faint crease formed on Miles's forehead, a deep layer of annoyance surfacing in his eyes.

"If the microphone is fine, then Leo and Caleb are co-champions. I never said Leo isn't a champion. Sharing the title won't affect him."

Hearing this, Wesley said nothing more.

But Jade was unsatisfied, her fingers pinching together, her heart full of jealousy and hatred.

There was only one champion. How could there be co-champions?

Especially since this Caleb was a relative of Quinn's. She was even more opposed to him sharing the spotlight and the title with her son.

"Miles..."

"Enough, the matter is settled. I have business at the company."

With that, Miles walked away indifferently. Visit novelce⁠o.com for the full chapter.

Receiving his instructions, The Prodigy Panel also felt this arrangement was the most reasonable.

After all, Caleb was so outstanding, how could he possibly fail to answer a question in the final round?

It was highly likely a microphone glitch.

Co-champions was the best outcome.

Hearing that Miles was sending tech staff to check the microphone, Yara happily winked at Quinn.

"Quinn, does that mean that jerk Miles actually believes us?"

"When the time comes, my Caleb will definitely be the champion. Will the prize money be split in half?"

"Or will Caleb get millions of dollars too?"

Quinn didn't care about the millions; she only cared about fairness.

Yara and the others thought Miles arranged this out of a sense of justice.

But deep down, Quinn suspected he just didn't want to blow things out of proportion and ruin the York family's reputation.

He also didn't want Luna to think badly of him, which was why he made this arrangement.

It didn't necessarily mean he believed their claim about the microphone. Find the original chapter at novelceo . com.

When he previously said he'd send someone to investigate the second-hand watch incident, nothing ever came of it, right?

But she didn't want to dampen Yara's and the kids' enthusiasm right now.

She led the two kids out. "Caleb did amazing today, Mommy is going to reward you!"

Yara chimed in, "The kids definitely deserve a reward, Caleb was spectacular!"

"Then how about I treat you all to a huge kids' feast?"

The two little ones' eyes instantly lit up. "Brother, Mommy is taking us for a feast!"

In front of his mother, Caleb reverted to his sweet, childish self, giving Quinn a kiss. "Mommy!"

Luna smiled like a little crescent moon, her chubby hands clapping loudly. "Yay, we're having a feast!"

They arrived at the entrance of Cloud Castle Bistro. Quinn was buying the combo meal tickets while Yara took photos with the kids out front.

A car slowly pulled up to the curb. Ethan Leigh happened to be passing by Cloud Castle Bistro and immediately recognized Quinn.

Looking delighted, he pushed the door open and stepped out.

Dressed in a sharply tailored casual suit, he walked toward her with confident steps.

His features were warm, and as he drew near, a gentle smile graced his lips.

Just as he was about to greet her, a soft, sweet voice called out from ahead, "Mommy."
