The host took a question and got to the point.
"Okay ..."
Below the stage, the judges and the audience were whispering to each other.
"What's up with this Jane? She was in the first few rounds. Why does she have a bitter face?"
"I've always been optimistic about her. But looking at her performance today, I don't think she's qualified to be the winner."
"As a model, the most basic requirement is to be calm. On stage, even if something happens, they have to look like they’re calm and collected. But what's wrong with her crying face all the time?"
"Jane's mental quality is not up to par. Pass out."
Back of the stage.
Jasmine stared at Jane on a big screen with a look of hatred.
What was wrong with Jane?
It looked like she was going to cry.
Didn't she tell her not to be nervous?
Why not be more confident?
In the dressing room, Violet was holding a cup of water, sipping slowly and admiring her masterpiece.
Jane's last costume show was a crowned queen's outfit.
Such a costume required a flamboyant and cold makeup.
However, Jane's makeup at this moment, from a different angle, was restrained, uneasy and pitiful ...
It did not match queen's temperament at all.
She didn't believe that Jane could still win the championship with such make-up!
On the stage, the host had finished asking the other models.
"Okay, after so many days of intense competition, the most exciting moment has come. Let's guess who is the champion of Sunlite Model Contest!"
The host's voice was powerful, and the light beam on the stage swept over several models from time to time.
The atmosphere was tense and heated.
Jane clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and waited for the beam to stop on her body.
The music came to a screeching halt.
A beam of light shone on a model.
"Congratulations to contestant number 28 ..."
The host's booming voice rang out, announcing the final result of the contest.
