It seemed like Alfred had hit a dead end.
Comments continued to flood the live stream chat.
"As expected, Mr. Garrett's taste is impeccable—just like mine! Haha!"
"Putting aside the commercial value of the other candidates, Samantha is definitely the best spokesperson for Evergreen."
"But Liliana's vote count is insanely high. Does she really have that many fans?"
Although Liliana was popular, her votes were starting to seem suspiciously inflated. Doubts spread quickly, and soon, the chat was flooded with comments.
"Liliana is the best."
"Liliana is the prettiest."
The other viewers were speechless.
"Are they really Liliana's fans or some bot activity?"
"Honestly, it looks like it's being spammed."
Next came the part where all the candidates took the stage to make their final appeals and try to gather more votes.
Most of the candidates stuck to simple introductions and brief appeals. However, when it was Chione's turn, she immediately set her sights on Samantha.
"I'd just like to ask the judges one question. Is it really appropriate for someone like Samantha who's visibly scarred to represent Evergreen? I worry it might affect the brand's image."
The injury on Samantha's forehead had already healed, leaving only a faint pink mark.
She had chosen not to ask the makeup artist to cover it completely—overdoing it would have made the look feel artificial. Instead, she accepted the flaw in her body.
Yet, Chione had deliberately mentioned it in front of everyone. The director also zoomed in, giving the live stream viewers a close-up of Samantha's scar.
"Honestly, I didn't even notice it until now."
"Yeah. It might not be appropriate for a spokesperson to have such a visible scar."
"It'll be brutal if Samantha gets eliminated over that tiny scar. She was doing so well."
Chione threw a smug, triumphant look at Samantha as though she'd already won.
Samantha gave a cold, amused smile in return. The round was far from over.
Samantha glanced at the host, signaling that she had something to say. The host caught on and passed the mic to her.
