However, the room was too noisy for anyone to hear Zoe's timid and low voice.
Just when she was about to speak up louder, the announcer walked out from the backstage to speak to the winners of the contest.
"The winners, please do well to drop your account details before you leave. The prize money will be sent to all five of you first thing tomorrow."
Then he went back inside.
As soon as he did, three of Kelsie's teammates rushed forward to drop their bank account details.
As they walked back, they heard Laura's teammates assuring her.
"This contest was rigged. I don't care what anyone says, but I know Kelsie did something to win."
"I agree. There's just no way she would've won this contest without resorting to underhanded methods."
"Even though no one is saying it, you should know every one of us thinks that. We all know how hard you worked for the task while she idled around."
