RedNovelChapter 764:
Gavin met his gaze firmly. “As a Swan Cup jury member, | maintain impartiality,” he said firmly. “Fiona was
indeed my junior, but that relationship will not compromise my judgment on the competition stage.”
The man whistled. “Wow. You're so impartial!” he exclaimed. “If | were Fiona, | might resent you for that.”
“Perhaps, but my conscience is clear,” Gavin responded dismissively.
The man then left the office.
Alone, Gavin pondered whether to approach Fiona, knowing they were both at the shotel. After thinking for
a while, he decided against it. Fiona probably didn’t want him to bother her either.
After wrapping up his work, Gavin left to find Elyse. Her next match was against Geraldine, a competitor with
hardly any vulnerabilities. Unlike Geraldine, Elyse shone in specific areas but wasn’t universally adept. Elyse
would need to put in a lot of effort to beat Geraldine.

Upon returning to the hotel to drop off his things, Gavin was intercepted at his door by Fiona.
“Can we talk?” she asked coldly.
Gavin's eyes widened with surprise as he stared at Fiona, confusion etched on his face. “What are you up to?” he
asked.
“In the next match, I'm up against Darren. | don’t think | stand a chance of beating him.” Fiona hesitated before
speaking, her voice carrying a hint of resignation.

Gavin's brow furrowed in puzzlement. “And what does that have to do with me?”
“I've got three days left,” Fiona replied, her voice stiff with discomfort. “I need your help. You know my
weaknesses inside out.” A flicker of humiliation crossed her face as she finished.
She was all too aware of Darren’s prowess.
After three months of going it alone since parting ways with Cody, Fiona had cto realize just how much she
lacked. Though she had made it this far in the competition, it had been more by luck than by facing truly tough
opponents. But now, in the semifinals, she was up against a formidable adversary.
She had to take a hard look at her situation. The reality was stark—there was no one left to lean on; those who
might have been able to help had already drifted away. To have any shot at victory, Fiona knew she had to
swallow her pride and turn to Gavin for help.
Upon hearing Darren’s name, Gavin paused, piecing together who he was. Darren had stalent, sure, but he
barely cracked the top ten in this competition. Even if he pulled off an extraordinary performance, he might
squeeze into the top six, but the top three? Not a chance. Gavin had never considered Darren a serious
contender for the top spots.
“If Elyse went up against Darren, she'd breeze her way into the semifinals,” Gavin remarked. “You're trailing far

Fiona’s pride took a hit at Gavin's words, and she shot back angrily, “So, in your eyes, Elyse is the only one who
matters, huh? The only one who can win, right?”
She practically shouted, “You're so biased toward her, and you won't even admit it! Back when | needed
guidance, you and Irving only had eyes for her, never givinga second thought. Now that I've left Mr. Tucker's
studio, you're just waiting forto fall on my face, aren’t you?”
Gavin looked at Fiona, who was clearly spiraling out of control, and sighed. “You have to understand, Fiona, Irving
and | never abandoned you. It was you who gave up and chose to walk away.”
Fiona, seething with anger, snapped back, “That's not true! | never gave up!”
“Enough already. Why are you wasting your breath?” Irving suddenly appeared behind Gavin, laden with
shopping bags and a lollipop in hand. “Head over to the park and guide Elyse. She messagedsaying
Geraldine challenged her. Go give her a hand.”
