Chapter 361 She’s Really Mad!
When Nathael spoke out, everyone paused. Someone asked, “Mr. Harris, do you mean you want to ditch the judges‘ scores?”
Nathael’s face hardened, his gaze locking onto the questioner. “Do you think people will accept the results if we stick to the judges‘ scores?”
The person was speechless. They turned to confer with others briefly, then sent someone onstage.
“We’ll look into the issue of the judges taking bribes and unfair scoring. We’ll make an announcement soon. To keep the competition smooth, we’re switching to a voting system. Rankings will depend on votes from inside and outside the venue. Voting for all contestants will stay open until the end….
The announcement shocked many.
Previously, voting had time limits to maintain viewership and prevent cheating, causing many to miss voting for favorites.
Now, with this change, many realized their favorites still had a chance. Previous scores by the judges didn’t matter. As long as a contestant was voted, they would still be in the running.
“At the same time, we have decided to disqualify Ms. Sierra, and the last ranked contestant can take her place.”
The solution wasn’t perfect, but live broadcasting meant the issue would come to light unless the students at the venue didn’t spread the news or the competition was halted.
Even if the competition resumed after being halted, doubts would linger. It was better to seize the chance and make the event a success.
The Camerons were in turmoil.
Ronald paled, silently watching the TV.
Meanwhile, Madam Cameron’s blood pressure soared. She tried to calm herself down, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Are we cursed? Why is everything going wrong?”
Master Cameron frowned. “Where did Sierra’s skills after years of practicing go? And Maggie–she studied under Mr. Dunphy, but she never mentioned it!”
Olivia paled, knowing Sierra caused trouble again.
But when the topic shifted to Maggie, she quickly said, “What’s Maggie doing? Even if Sierra’s wrong, she shouldn’t embarrass us publicly. Has she forgotten the kindness we’ve shown her?”
Her words resonated. The Camerons had raised Maggie after all. Even though she was being treated unfairly, she should’ve understood the situation and prioritized the bigger picture instead of confronting Sierra and embarrassing her as well as the Camerons like this
Noah wore a gloomy expression. “What about Luster Corporation? Ronald, I think we should give up. I don’t think Luster Corporation will work out!”
Ronald hesitated, knowing Noah was right.
With Sierra’s ruined reputation and Maggie openly aceming her. Maggie’s rest would be crediteit tes the Cameron. To make matters worse, the necklace she was wearing even broke
That was a severe blow to the Camerons. Even if they had Maggie promore Luster Corporation, they ididici know to recover from that

“Our family’s cursed! Master Cameron’s eyes filled with tears, looking obfer in an instant
Ronald and Noah remained composed
