Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 36

In the spotlight, amidst the hushed anticipation of the audience, Amelia dazzled in her performance.

Adorned in an exquisite crimson ancient costume, she wielded a silk fan, gracefully executing a mesmerizing classical silk fan dance.

The complexity of the dance was evident; the lengthy silk fabric in her hands posed a challenge, a single misstep threatening a flawless performance.

Yet, Amelia's movements were impeccably precise, the silk fabric flowing like water, displaying a seamless fluidity.

Every gesture was executed with perfection, not a single mistake marring her performance.

Even her facial expressions were masterfully crafted, evoking a range of emotions in the audience.

As she concluded her dance, Amelia gracefully bowed to the audience, gratitude shining in her eyes.

Applause erupted from the spectators, filling the air with fervor. In the live chat, viewers showered her with praises,

[Well done, well done! Amelia outperformed herself today, she must have put in a lot of effort privately. I love dedicated contestants like her!]

"Amelia is the daughter of the prestigious Montgomery family, lacking nothing, yet she strives so hard. What excuse do I have for not giving my best?]

"I understand now. No wonder the Montgomery family adores Amelia. Even though she's not their biological daughter, who wouldn't love such a determined and ambitious girl?]

On stage, the judges began scoring. The four judges who had been bribed by Dempsey exchanged knowing glances before revealing their scores.

"9.8."

"9.7."

"9.9."

"9.8."

The audience murmured in astonishment, "Wow, such high scores! Almost perfect!"

[It seems these judges really appreciate Amelia's performance.]

[Truth be told, Amelia did exceptionally well this time.] [I wonder how many points Stella will give?]

After the four judges, it was the turn of the guest judge, Stella, to score. Holding her scorecard aloft, she looked at Amelia on stage with encouraging eyes. "9.1. Well done today, keep up the good work," she said.

Amelia's heart swelled with happiness as she bent down in a gracious bow. "Thank you, Miss Stella!"

In the chat, comments continued to pour in,

"During the last round, Miss Stella gave Amelia 9 points. This time it's 9.1, indicating that Amelia has indeed improved."

"I'm growing fonder of Amelia. She's hardworking and humble, born into a wealthy family, a perfect heiress indeed!"

"That kind of life, I'm so envious of her!"

Watching the judges' scores backstage, Dempsey felt content.

He had wanted these judges to give Amelia a perfect score, but making it too obvious might raise suspicions.

Soon, it would be Victoria's turn to perform.

Regardless of how well Victoria danced, these judges wouldn't score her highly. The first place in the finals had to be Amelia's!

On the other side, Elizabeth stared at the scores in shock.

"Why are the scores so high?" Amelia had indeed performed well, but had she really excelled to this extent?

She glanced at Victoria beside her, her hand clenched into a fist. "Victoria, it's your turn soon. Good luck!"

Victoria smiled back at her, her eyes filled with determination. "Thank you."
