Finished Isabelle , as the daughter of one of the event's investors , had been given a private lounge arranged by Bernard . Through the doorway , she spotted Estella and her expression darkened instantly . She called Bernard over . " Why is Estella here ? Didn't you delete her registration ? " " Bernard looked equally baffled . He reassured her , " Don't worry , she's not on the list . I'll have her removed right away ." " Hurry up and get rid of her . " Regardless of Estella's abilities , Isabelle refused to let her interfere . Bernard approached Estella and said , " Apologies , miss , but you're not registered . You don't have the qualifications to compete ." Estella's brows furrowed . " That's impossible . I registered successfully ." Bernard shook his head . " We never received your application .
