Chapter 41 I Have Doubts

Rebecca said, “This is way too unfair, Agnes. Even if the public likes such a huge gap in votes is unbelievable.

“You’ve participated in so many competitions. How could I not know your level of skill? With you here, the others never even stand a chance.

“I seriously suspect this competition is rigged!”

At the same time, the livestream chat exploded.

[Hah, I told you Ms. Young would win. She got 8,000 votes. That’s crazy high. Her boyfriend sure pulled his weight!]

[Alas, looks like we won’t get to see that person do a handstand and eat poop. What a shame…]

[So it turns out everyone likes that socialite–style design, huh? But I still prefer classical–style designs.]

[Who said that? I voted for Ms. Aurora’s Brocade Bloom! I love ancient–style and classical–style clothing!]

[Same here!]

[Me too!]

Agnes looked at her phone. More and more people in the livestream were saying they had voted for Aurora’s Brocade Bloom.

She turned her head again and saw Hillary’s confident, triumphant expression. She more or less understood what was going on.

Just as Hillary was preparing to give her acceptance speech, Agnes stood up from the audience.

“Excuse me, I have doubts about the voting results.”

Everyone turned toward the voice. A woman with a curvy figure, wearing a white face eye mask, stood

below the stage.

The staff on stage began whispering to one another, clearly caught off guard.

The host recognized her as Aurora, one of the designers in the competition. She smiled calmly.

She had seen plenty of situations like that–people who didn’t win first place raising doubts and refusing to accept the results.

She explained unhurriedly, “Hello, Ms. Aurora. Our voting process is absolutely fair, and all the judges are renowned figures in the fashion industry.

“We know your design is outstanding. Although you didn’t win this time, you’ll have other opportunities in the future.”

Agnes said, “If it’s fair, then I request that the votes be made public. That shouldn’t be a problem, right? Such a large voting gap is hard to believe.”

“Ms. Aurora, doing this will affect the progress of our program. We still have other segments to record afterward.”

“I’m only asking the program team to make the voting process public. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. Unless there’s something suspicious going on that you don’t dare reveal?”

As soon as Agnes said that, the livestream erupted again. The viewers were gossiping, analyzing, investigating, and arguing. It was chaos.

Someone raised a question.

[What’s going on? Who here voted for Ms. Aurora’s Brocade Bloom?]

[Me!] [Same here!] [Me too!]…

[Huh? So many people voted for her. Then why are her vote numbers so low?]

[Yeah, that’s weird. Anyone in the chat voted for Ms. Young’s Nocturne White Rose?]

Only a handful of people in the livestream said they had chosen Nocturne White Rose.

[No way… Then where did those 8,000 votes come from?]

[I told you earlier–her boyfriend is the heir of the top family in Grandridge. He’s sitting right there. Money can buy anything. Maybe her boyfriend already made a deal with the organizers and picked the championship in advance. We’re just part of their little show.]

[Wow, so this is basically a huge public love confession show, huh? Damn. We single people just got force- fed romance out of nowhere. It’s sickly sweet.]

[So pointless. Everything is fake. I got all excited, and in the end it was all pre–arranged!]

[Exactly! Compared to Ms. Aurora’s design, Ms. Young’s is way inferior. The vote numbers are so fake- looking. If there’s another show like this next time, I’m skipping it!]

[The organizers should just cast these people in a soap opera instead. So boring!]

[Ahhh, I bet that the ten–day Verdantis trip prize is fake too! They were just tricking us! Has anyone here actually received a notification about the trip?]

[I haven’t…]

[I haven’t either.] [Same here.]…

[Called it no one got it! Damn! Feels like we’ve been scammed. Can we get refunds?! I didn’t pay money just to watch a staged show!]

[Refund! I want a refund too!]
