It's not the prize money that matters in the competition, but the exposure that Ella can get to build her career.
With this cancellation, Ella was dishonorably kicked out of the competition.
"Why?" Ella's hand holding the cell phone was tightly clenched. As if she understood what had gotten her kicked disrespectfully, she asked, "Is it because of Indri's problem?"
"Yeah," Luca nodded. "Just now, I contacted the organizer. They said there's been too much bad news about you lately that they've decided to cancel the result. They don't want this incident to ruin the name of their foundation."
Luca felt this was very, very unfair.
There was no evidence that clearly showed that Ella was deliberately trying to hurt Indri. It was Indri who slandered Ella.
