“Since Miss Evelyn Cross likes it so much, it’s a deal.”
She had been forced to this point, and Cora could only accept the competition.
Otherwise, Evelyn might come up with other tricks to take her purse!
So with the agreement of the two, the competition officially started.
Although everyone paid great attention to the competition, no one actually thought that Cora would win, thinking she would definitely give her purse away.
“First round!”
As soon as the electronic command sounded, Evelyn picked up the gun, aimed carefully, and fired the first shot.
After she finished shooting, she looked at Cora provocatively.
Cora met her smug gaze and raised the gun with a smile. Without any of those cumbersome preparations that Evelyn did, she just looked at the target board casually and pulled the trigger…
“She probably won’t be able to hit the target. You can see that she fired the gun like a joke.”
After Sara heard one of the rich wives’ words, she agreed,
“It’s impossible for her to hit the target. She didn’t even aim, and I don’t think she respects the competition at all.”
Hearing these words, Nora glared at Cora. It was fine to provoke Evelyn, but now she didn’t even respect the competition. Others even started to make fun of her!
But at this moment, the electronic player sent back the scores of the two just now in real time.
“Evelyn, 9.6.”
At this time, Evelyn was still in a pretty good mood.
In the 32-feet shooting competition she participated in, as long as the scores of all ten shots were above 9.5, she would definitely win a medal.
It was too easy to abuse a rookie like Cora with this level of professionalism.
She even felt that Cora’s purse on the side had already become her possession.
But while Evelyn was laughing in her heart, Cora’s score was also announced by the electronic player.
“Cora, 9.7.”
At that moment, everyone was shocked.
“9.7? Did I hear it right?”
When Margaret came back to her senses, she hurriedly looked at the others, fearing that she had heard it wrong just now.
Sara was also sure that what she heard Cora’s score was 9.7, but she didn’t believe that Cora could get such a good score.
“It’s 0.1 point higher than Evelyn. Are you sure there is no problem with the machine?”
Even Nora said,
“It’s probably an error.”
In the eyes of Nora, Cora had not undergone systematic training, so how could she win Evelyn all of a sudden?
Evelyn obviously also had doubts about this result.
In her opinion, this was definitely a score that Cora could not get.
Even though she insisted that when Cora asked her coach just now, she looked very much like the talent her coach had talked about, the fact was that she didn’t believe in the existence of that talent.
As for why Cora knew her coach’s name…
It was just because, during this period, the major news channels in New York had interviews with her for international competitions, and it was not difficult to know the name of her coach.
Because she was certain that Cora would not be able to have such a high score, she even called the technician of the shooting range.
“There’s something wrong with the transmission system in the shooting range! Fix it right away, or you’ll lose your job.”
But the technician told her,
“Miss Evelyn Cross, we check and repair the transmission system every day, and there is no such problem.”
“But how can she score a 9.7 for someone who has never even touched a gun? If you don’t fix it, I will fire you now.”
But even though Evelyn was aggressive, the technician still said,
“There is nothing wrong with the system. You can rest assured.”
“Then how could she get such a score?”
Evelyn was really afraid of losing to Cora, especially because she forced Cora to have this competition herself.
“She must just be lucky this time.”
Margaret comforted Evelyn when she saw Evelyn acting like that.
“Yes, it must be beginner’s luck.”
Sara also said.
Nora didn’t speak, but she still looked at Cora with obvious anger.
Seeing Evelyn act up, Cora asked her softly,
“Should we continue?”
“Yes!”
Evelyn didn’t believe that Cora could get such a score, and she didn’t want to let go of the purse that was about to be hers.
Thus, under the control of the technician, the second round of competition began.
“Second round. Go!”
Evelyn got ready again, aimed at the target, and fired.
After firing, she immediately looked at Cora.
Cora was still as careless as before, picked up the gun without even aiming, and fired directly.
Soon, the electronic player announced the results of the two again.
“Evelyn, 9.8.”
Hearing the score of this stable performance, Evelyn smiled again.
Her performance today was better than her performance in international competitions. This score would definitely take a big lead. Cora would definitely make a fool of herself and hand over her purse.
Thinking of how embarrassed Cora would be, Evelyn got excited.
But at this moment, the electronic player announced Cora’s score.
“Cora, 9.9.”
Everyone was silent…
“Oh my, can someone who has never touched a gun achieve 9.9 rings?”
“Could it be that she is the talent Evelyn’s coach mentioned?”
“Was she cheating?”
Sara looked at Cora’s suspiciously excellent performance, unwilling to accept it.
She didn’t push Cora to this point to let her steal the limelight.
Unexpectedly, Nora refuted her.
“She was also called up for the competition at the last minute. How could she cheat?”
No matter what, Cora was brought here by her.
If Cora cheated, it would also tarnish her reputation.
To maintain Nora’s dignity, Sara had no choice but to stop her attempt to shift the blame onto Cora, saying,
“You’re right, Madam Hansen.”
Evelyn also wanted to question Cora’s integrity.
But the venue belonged to the Cross family, and even the gun was provided by her. How could Cora cheat?
So, even if she was dissatisfied, she could only grit her teeth and maintain her composure.
“Let’s continue. We don’t know the result yet.”
Cora must have been lucky.
Furthermore, even if Cora was truly skilled at shooting, she couldn’t compete with a professional shooter like her, who underwent rigorous training in shooting every day.
No matter how good Cora was, there was no way she could win every shot.
As long as Cora missed a single shot, the bag would still end up in her hands.
Under Evelyn’s insistence, the competition resumed.
However, the electronic display scores always surprised everyone.
Evelyn scored 9.0 rings, while Cora scored 9.1 rings in the third shot. Evelyn scored 9.9 rings, while
Cora scored 10.0 rings in the fourth shot…
In the tenth and final shot, Evelyn scored 9.5 rings, while
Cora scored 9.6 rings.
The competition went on until the end, and Cora never missed a single shot. On the contrary, Cora’s scores consistently surpassed Evelyn’s.
Someone even summarized a strange conclusion.
“Is it just my illusion? Dr. Lane always won against
Evelyn by 0.1 ring.”
After one person pointed it out, everyone noticed this terrifying pattern.
“Oh my, it’s true.”
