Satisfied with their sincere apology, Lilah waved them away with a casual flick of her hand.

"Mr. Harris, I have this great program." Someone from the crowd cautiously approached Gerard.

"I'm not working today," Gerard answered the man casually, cutting him off.

The man nodded in understanding and reluctantly walked away. Others who had the same idea to approach Gerard instantly changed their plans when they saw this scene.

Walter gave Lilah a thumbs up. "Lilah, you're really awesome. When did you learn how to use a bow and arrow? Who taught you?"

"I learned as a kid," she answered casually.

Lilah's parents didn't pay much attention to her, but her grandfather doted a lot on her. He would often take her to all kinds of trainings and claim they were just playing.

Thinking back to it now, she acknowledged that all those teachers were really great.

Meanwhile, Laura and Marlene were filled with shame.

Marlene's face was all red from the embarrassment she felt. She was so certain earlier that Lilah couldn't play archery. And now, she was called a professional!

Laura was just as embarrassed. She recalled what she said earlier.

Now, compared to Lilah's expertise in archery, she felt so inadequate and foolish.

"Lilah, you are really awesome. I thought you wouldn't be able to do it. I'm relieved you played it so well," Laura said, trying to sound casual.

Marlene, on the other hand, couldn't be as subtle as Laura. “If you could play it, why didn't you just say so instead of keeping everyone on their toes? Did you find it fun?"

Marlene convinced herself that this was just another ploy of Lilah's.

"Marlene, if I'm to tell you all the skills I have, you'll surely jump into a river and drown yourself," Lilah said with a faint smile.

Marlene scoffed and said, “Now you're acting all pretentious. Stop it, will you?"

Marlene glared at the woman she hated in front of her. She consoled herself with the thought that Lilah only knew how to play archery.

It wasn't a big deal. Lilah had no right to brag.

With this in mind, Marlene said, “Don't brag. Shooting arrows doesn't mean a thing. Laura is the daughter of a famous family and she's good at many things. What you can do doesn't impress her at all."

"Oh," Lilah said lightly, and then looked away.

The perfunctory answer embarrassed Marlene a little. She clenched her fists in anger. Then, Laura said in a gentle tone, "Don't say that, Marlene. I think Lilah is really good at playing archery. She is even excellent. I really admire her."

"You are just too kind, Laura."

“Lilah, since you're so good, why don't you compete with Gerard?"
