Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 269

Liliana's vote count kept climbing, and it was hard to tell whether it was due to her real fans or some behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Next to take the stage was Serena. She wore a white chiffon dress with soft green embellishments. Her head was adorned with a delicate white lace choker and a red flower pinned to her hair. She looked like a lively girl straight out of a meadow.

The scores came in quickly. 75, 81, 70.

Leonardo gave a score of 70. The man next to him, under Leonardo's watchful eye, flipped his card. 85.

"I suppose I tend to give higher scores," he muttered.

…

Next up were Elena and Madeline. Both performed well, and their scores kept rising, sparking even more anticipation for the final candidate.

The live stream chat continued.

"Is Samantha going to take first place?"

"The fallen princess from the trending topic earlier? She's really stunning, though I'm not sure if it's just some photoshopped trick."

"Everything's photoshopped these days. We'll see."

"I'm really curious to see what she's got."

Many people were watching with biased views. One had to be exceptionally skilled to overshadow the main star of the show. However, the moment they slipped up, they'd probably be torn apart online.

At the judges' table, Leonardo's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the backstage, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Even the other four judges seemed intrigued. Would the final candidate surprise them?

Then, Samantha gradually appeared. Suddenly, all eyes were drawn to her.

She wore a modified crescent-colored dress, the cut fitting her curves perfectly, accentuating her delicate silhouette. Her long hair was swept into an elegant updo, with a few stray strands framing her neck.

A pair of unique pearl earrings dangled from her ears, their smooth, round shape catching the light and glowing softly, adding a touch of grace.

With the Evergreen bag in hand, her overall air was refined, her beauty so striking it was impossible to look away.
