Elyse addressed the audience with a radiant smile. “I’d like to address a recent misunderstanding,” she began. “It’s been said that I won the Swan Cup through cheating. But that’s not true. I earned my place through every round of competition.”

She turned her gaze to Nick and added, “I took the liberty of having someone look into the incident that befell you. At the onset of the Swan Cup, there was a deplorable display of misconduct during the competition. Tragically, Nick, you were unfairly confined in a lounge and missed your designated match. The individual responsible for these dishonorable actions was swiftly apprehended by law enforcement following the competition and is now serving time in prison. Despite your unwavering belief that I played a part in this deception, let me be clear—it was not me.”

Nick’s calm facade shattered in an instant as he exclaimed, “It must have been you! You’re the one responsible for deliberately obstructing me from my match. Had you not intervened, I wouldn’t have been eliminated in the preliminaries.”

Elyse inquired, “From whom did you hear that it was me?”

Nick’s voice trembled on the brink of tears as he spoke, his words a painful confession. “It was a fellow contestant who told me. She found me sobbing in the stairwell, and with compassion in her voice, she shared what she had seen—your manipulative behavior. But despite her bravery, her report fell on deaf ears, as your mentor, Cody Tucker, seemed to deliberately turn a blind eye.”

Elyse’s brow furrowed in curiosity, and she probed further. “Do you know the identity of that female contestant?”

Nick’s eyes narrowed as he sought to recall the details. After a moment of quiet reflection, he shook his head. “I don’t know her name, but I do know that she managed to make it through the Comeback Competition and emerged victorious.”

Elyse turned to Chloe, who was guarding backstage, and requested her phone. With a swift gesture, she retrieved a photo and presented it to Nick, inquiring softly, “Is this her? Geraldine Lawson? She succeeded in the Comeback Competition.”

As Geraldine’s photo displayed on Elyse’s phone screen, Nick’s expression turned resolute, and he shook his head with swift decisiveness. “It’s not her.”

With Geraldine eliminated, only one contestant remained standing as the ultimate culprit.

Elyse’s eyes sparkled as she handed Nick another photograph. “Is this her?”

Nick’s eyes landed on Fiona’s photo, a warm recollection flashing in his mind. “Yes, it was her,” he confirmed. “She was a kind soul, and I recall our encounter vividly.”

Tears formed in Nick’s eyes as he expressed his thanks. “I was devastated after being disqualified. She was the only one who comforted me, staying by my side until I began to recover.”

Nick asked, “What’s her name? After I was disqualified, I just wanted to disappear. I wasn’t really paying attention to anything else.”

A complex array of emotions played across Elyse’s face. “You spoke with her for so long and she never mentioned her name?”

Nick shook his head. “No, I was too distraught. It didn’t even occur to me.”

Elyse looked at him with pity. “Her name is Fiona Evans. She was the architect of the chaos at the competition. She has been arrested.”

Nick stood frozen, processing the information. “You mean the girl who consoled me is the one responsible for my disqualification?”

Elyse gave a solemn nod. “During her interrogation, she admitted to sabotaging other strong competitors to boost her own chances. She was determined to win by any means.”
