My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 473

"No one is defending me."

Seraphina took a step forward, meeting Melody's gaze.

"Melody, if you want to compete for a spot, go ahead. If you want to prove yourself, fine. But don't target me just because of Lucian."

Melody's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Stop throwing his name in my face."

"You brought him up first."

Seraphina set the book down on the desk.

"You look down on me because I married him."

Melody sneered.

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Then let's talk about talent."

Seraphina pressed her hand flat against the spreadsheet.

"Professor Monroe gave me an opportunity, and I'm taking it. If you want that same opportunity, earn it."

Melody glared at her, her eyes turning into slits.

"You want to compete with me?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

Seraphina met her stare and flashed a confident smile. "Didn't you say I was only good for playing housewife? Let's let the results speak for themselves."

Melody snatched her portfolio back and turned to Marcus.

"Professor Monroe, I will be competing in the upcoming green-tech preliminaries. I'll use my skills to prove exactly who the real talent is here."

Marcus glanced at Seraphina.

"What do you say?"

"I have no objections."

"Are you sure?"

Seraphina looked up.

"Professor, since I've come back, I don't plan on just standing in your shadow."

Marcus nodded. "Then I'll look forward to the preliminaries in three days."

Melody raised an eyebrow. "I'm looking forward to it too."

She turned to Seraphina, an arrogant smirk on her lips. "How about it, Ms. Simmons?"

"Will three days be too short for you to catch up?"

"No," Seraphina replied evenly. "It's plenty."

Caleb shot her a concerned look.

"Sera, you just got back into this. Your data isn't even fully updated yet."

"Then I'll spend the next three days updating it."

Melody finally looked satisfied.

"I hope you don't use your title as Mrs. Langford as an excuse when you lose."
