Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26
However, Jessica’s performance in this round was outstanding. She wore a long red dress, holding a silk fan, and performed a dramatic flamenco dance.
Flamenco dances were challenging, especially when carrying a silk fan like the one Jessica had. A slight misstep could result in an error.
However, Jessica’s movements were precise, and her rhythm was excellent, making her performance fiery and passionate.
Every movement was executed perfectly without a single mistake.
Even her facial expressions were captivating, effectively engaging the audience.
After completing her performance, Jessica bowed in gratitude to the audience.
The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause, and the live chat was filled with praises.
[Well done! Jessica performed even better today than in the elimination round. She must have trained hard privately. I like this kind of hardworking contestant!]
[Jessica is the darling of the Ramos family. She has everything, yet she still works so hard. What right do I have to slack off?]
[I get it now. No wonder the Ramos family likes Jessica. Even though she’s not a biological daughter, who wouldn’t like a girl who works so hard and strives for improvement?]
[Huh? Don’t go too far, guys. Jessica did perform quite well this time, but there’s no need to praise her like this!]
On stage, the judges began scoring.
The four judges who were bribed by Jeremy exchanged glances and revealed their scores.
[9.8 points.]
[9.7 points.]

[9.8 points.]
As soon as these scores were announced, the audience erupted into chatter.
“Wow, such high scores! Almost a perfect 10!”
“It seems these judges really like Jessica’s performance.”
“To be honest, Jessica did really well this time.”
“I wonder how much Megan will score.
After the four judges gave their scores, it was time for the guest judge Megan to score.
She raised her dry erase paddle and looked at Jessica on stage, her eyes filled with encouragement. “9.1 points. You did well today. Keep up the good work.”
Jessica was overjoyed. “Thank you, Ms. Rice!”
[Last time in the elimination round, Ms. Rice gave Jessica a score of 9. This time, it’s 9.1. It indicates that Jessica has indeed improved.]
[I’m starting to like Jessica even more. She’s hardworking and humble, and she has a good family background. She’s undoubtedly the family’s. darling.]
[Wow. I envy her so much!]
Jeremy, standing backstage, saw the judges’ scores and felt satisfied.
He had initially wanted the judges to give Jessica a perfect 10, but making it too obvious might raise suspicions.
Regardless, he was confident that no matter how well Ashley danced, these judges would not give her high scores.
‘Huh! The first place will definitely be Jessica’s!’ Jeremy thought.
On the other side, Miranda, shocked by the high scores, widened her eyes. “How did she get such high scores?”
Jessica did perform pretty well, but her dance wasn’t good enough to get her such a high score.
Miranda looked aside at Ashley and clenched her fists. “Ashley, it’s almost your turn. Good luck!”

Ashley flashed a gentle smile at her. “Thank you.”
Miranda, while cheering for Ashley, couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. As a dancer, she could naturally assess the level of each contestant. She initially thought that Ashley would secure first place in today’s finals.
However, after seeing Jessica’s score, she suddenly became uncertain. It seemed like Jessica also had a significant chance of winning.
The host announced the entry of the last contestant.
Many audiences were eagerly awaiting Ashley’s performance. Hearing the announcement, they all fixed their gazes on the stage.
The stage lights dimmed, and after a moment, a spotlight shone down on a white carpet placed h orizontally at the center of the stage.
In the dazzling light,
a graceful red figure stood at the center of the carpet.
The intense red color immediately drew the eyes of the audience.
The girl wore a thin, flowing red gauze skirt and stood barefoot on the carpet with heels slightly raised, displaying her delicate ankles. Her skin was so smooth that it could almost reflect the light.
On one of her slender ankles, there was a painted tattoo of a red rose, adding an extra hint of charm to her beauty.
As the camera slowly moved upward, the stunning and graceful face of the girl entered everyone’s view.
Her skin bore a beautiful wheat color, and a touch of vermilion was painted on her forehead.
And her eyes, gleaming like rippling water, outlined with red eyeliner, exuded an alluring and captivating charm.
The girl’s glittering skin, rosy lips, and flowing red garments created a captivating scene.
The livestream chat instantly exploded with comments.
[Wow! I’m going crazy! Ashley’s entrance is so beautiful and bewitching! I didn’t make a typo. It’s genuinely bewitching!]
[Ah, Ashley, you’re killing me with your beauty!]
Chapter 20
[Holy s hit! Ashley’s face is absolutely stunning! Last time, she looked like a fairy in that white dress. Today, she looks so seductive and charming in ve and charming in red. Her versatility is amazing!]
[She’s totally stunning.]
[By the way, is she performing ballet? Look at her shoes.]
The audience was curious and focused their attention on the stage.
As the background music started, Ashley lifted her legs and began to dance gracefully.
The thin red gauze skirt fluttered with her every step, revealing her eye-catching ankles.
The red rose tattoo emerged and disappeared along her dance moves, looking extremely alluring.
Ashley crossed her hands in front of her, creating a beautiful and charming pose.
Her feet lightly rotated, and the thin red skirt spun around like blooming flowers.
After a series of rotations, Ashley gracefully bent backward, stretching her flexible body and forming a beautiful arch.
When she stood upright again, her hands swiftly swung to both sides, and she leaped into the air like a joyful little deer.
Seeing her leap, everyone was amazed by her agility and elegance.
“She’s amazing!” Someone whispered excitedly.
At this moment, all the stage lights illuminated.
Then, Ashley danced toward the center of the stage and leaped again.
Her long legs formed a beautiful line mid-air, and her red dress also danced along with her like a fleeting flame.
Ashley performed a perfect grand jeté
Seeing this scene, the audience erupted into excitement.
“It’s actually a grand jeté!”
“Holy s hit! It’s incredible!”
