Of course, Wendy knew fully well that she couldn’t continue to scratch her face.
Or else, her face would be ruined before her chin could recover.
Although she was sensible, the itchiness was just too overwhelming. She was on the verge of crying!
Wendy was really a bitch! This damned bitch!
“Ah! Miss Gale, stop scratching!” Her lace which was supposed to cover her chin had now given way and a bright red scar on her chin was exposed.
The photographer which was doing live streaming aimed his camera lens at Wendy accidentally at this moment.
In an instant, the sight of her wound was being magnified on the huge screen in the arena.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Wendy was flustered as she lifted her had to cover her chin.
The photographer realized what he had done as he immediately averted the focus of his camera from her face.
Despite his effort, what was captured on the camera would now always exist on the internet since it was live streaming. There was no way to reverse the damage done now!
“Oh my! How could she be so ugly?”
“It turns out that she was disfigured. No wonder she has to wear something so weird.”
“I really thought that she is a beauty. I can’t anticipate that her skin is mutilated at the moment!”
“It is too disgusting; did you see her badly mutilated and gory skin just now?”
“Stop it, I am going to vomit my lunch now. I was even picturing her in my mind when I saw her this morning.”
“Did you say you were picturing you together with this kind of woman? Oh my! Stop being disgusting.”
The crowd had broken out in gossips in the audience seats. Most of the comments were mocking Wendy endlessly.
Wendy was so furious she couldn’t even hold back her tears anymore. Amara swiftly stood in front of her and said anxiously, “Miss Gale, you…”
“I want to go back now! You will take my place here!”
Wendy abruptly stood up while concealing her chin. She gnashed her teeth while she blurted out, “You must make sure Emily’s team will not make it to the next round, or else, I’ll hold you responsible for this!”
“But…” Amara was very torn at the moment.
If Emily’s team did not perform well, they would naturally be eliminated. How could she wield any power in causing them to be eliminated if they had performed well later on?
The key part about this judging was that Wendy’s opinion didn’t hold the most weight among the judges. The major player here was Henry’s camp.
Should she make things clear to Henry’s camp?
Wendy was already abandoning her. Before she left, she looked upwards and glimpsed Emily who was seated in the audience area.
Emily was returning her gaze as a faint smile was playing around her lips. She looked jubilant.
It looked obvious that she was gazing upon Wendy with sarcasm.
Wendy gritted her teeth while clenching her fists hard.
How dare Emily to embarrass her in front of so many people? She would never let Emily go! Not this time!
She wanted Emily dead! She must see through to the end for this to happen!
Wendy finally left the arena, and Emily’s smile slowly disappeared from her face. Sally who was next to her was still looking around. When she was sure that Wendy was gone, she patted her chest as if she had just relieved herself from some predicament.
“I can’t imagine that she looks so ugly in reality. This is really unthinkable.”
Emily didn’t say anything in response. This whole fiasco was indeed engineered by her.
Perhaps, this was too cruel a treatment for a girl.
But, if the target was Wendy, then she would exhaust all options even if she would appear cruel and heartless.
“That’s enough, let’s watch Aryan now.” She said.
“Alright.” Sally focused her gaze on the middle of the arena.
The competition was starting soon, and the tension around the arena was rising by the minute.
They hoped that Aryan could overcome his inner demons and put forth his best performance!
Emily trained her gaze on the seat where the main judge should be seated.
