Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 40

As the host's words fell, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

"That's great! I voted for Victoria, and my vote is in there!"

"I didn't hesitate at all. I directly voted for Victoria!"

"Look, this is the rightful first place, much more deserving than Amelia!"

The barrage in the live stream went crazy.

[Congratulations to Victoria! First place in the grand finale! Well-deserved!]

[OMG, did you see that? Victoria got over 300 votes on her own, almost ten times more than the second place! Clear winner!]

[Incredible, this number of votes is truly impressive. She got more than half of the votes on her own!]

[I can't believe some people actually voted for Amelia, what a joke!]

[In my opinion, they should disqualify Amelia. She cheated along with Dempsey.]

[Even if they don't disqualify her, it doesn't matter. Victoria still outperformed her by a huge margin!]

Onstage, the staff members presented Victoria with the trophy and certificate. Colorful ribbons and golden confetti fell from the sky, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Elizabeth, delighted, reached out to catch a ribbon, sincerely congratulating Victoria, "Congratulations, Victoria! I knew I didn't make a mistake. Your talent was destined for the first place!"

The corners of Victoria's lips curved up slightly. "Thank you."

The other contestants around her also congratulated Victoria sincerely, acknowledging her victory.

Amelia remained frozen in place, her eyes towards Victoria filled with concealed malice and resentment.

Damn it, the first place was supposed to be hers.

She was the one who should have become Stella's disciple. But now, everything had been snatched away by that wretched woman, Victoria.

After the award ceremony, the host turned to Stella. "Miss Stella, please."

Stella picked up the microphone. Instead of immediately announcing the acceptance of a disciple, she looked at Victoria on the stage and asked, "May I ask who taught you your dance?"

Victoria answered truthfully, "I learned it from my grandmother."

She had grown up in an orphanage and was later adopted by her grandparents.

Her grandmother loved dancing and was exceptionally skilled at it. Seeing Victoria's talent in this area, she began teaching her from a young age.

As her grandmother aged, she couldn't teach Victoria as actively, so she showed her videos of her younger self dancing.

Stella seemed to have guessed something and couldn't hide her surprise. "Is your grandmother surnamed Ning?"

Victoria was momentarily surprised but nodded, confirming, "Yes."

Stella smiled slightly, her admiration for Victoria growing. "According to the program's rules, the first-place winner will become my closed-door disciple. I will personally teach you dance.

The host was so shocked that he nearly choked on his saliva. Victoria was unbelievably audacious; she had just won first place, and now she was showing such disrespect.

Elizabeth, hearing Victoria's rejection, became extremely anxious. She tugged on Victoria's sleeve and whispered urgently, "Victoria, what are you doing? If you offend Stella, if the netizens start scolding you... Quickly change your answer, say you're willing to be her disciple!"

Victoria gently patted her hand, trying to calm her down.

In a low voice, she explained, "I really can't accept her as my master."

Hearing this, Elizabeth became even more distressed.

Not far away, Amelia overheard Victoria's rejection of Stella. She was momentarily stunned, then a scornful smile appeared on her face.

This wretched woman truly had no idea of the world's ways. She didn't know how to appreciate good fortune.

Even Stella dared to reject her.

If she offended Stella, where could she find a foothold in the dance world?

Victoria, oh, Victoria, you've brought this upon yourself. Prepare to be suppressed by Stella!

The host turned to Stella, anticipating her reaction.

He was trying to think of ways to salvage the situation, but then he saw Stella smiling, her eyes full of affection and favor as she looked at Victoria.

Stella said with a smile, "You, this girl, rejected me again."
