Chapter 1174:
Yolanda wore her confidence like a crown, a satisfied smile lingering on her face.
She was convinced that if Christina never managed to step on stage, the trophy would be hers without question.
The theme matched one of her design drafts perfectly, and she was certain her final piece would secure the championship.
The moment Yolanda revealed her work, the judges’ eyes lit up in clear approval.
Each of the five judges could award up to fifteen points, a total of seventy-five in all.
The last twenty-five points belonged to Allison, and those would only be announced at the end.
All five judges awarded Yolanda the highest marks.
Her fans erupted in celebration, flooding the live chat with cheers.
“Those five judges all gave her full marks! Our Yolanda is leading—this championship is already hers!”
“She just wasn’t used to designing on-site before. With sufficient time, she’s making a comeback. Her work is more dazzling than ever!”
“I’ve been mocked nonstop by that woman’s fans for two whole weeks. I need Yolanda to win so I can shove it right back in their faces!”
Christina’s supporters weren’t about to sit quietly. They fired back just as fiercely.
“Championship? Are you delusional? Christina’s talent is untouchable—your idol doesn’t even come close.”
“Christina is the best. No debates, no doubts. She’s going to win, and you’ll see!”
While the chat room roared with arguments, a crisis struck backstage.
Christina’s model suddenly suffered from stomach cramps and had to be rushed to the hospital.
It was already too late to find a replacement, so Christina resolved to walk the stage herself.

“Why isn’t Christina out yet? What’s the hold-up? Is she too scared to compete? Ha! Looks like she’s chickening out!”
“Shut your mouth! Christina would never back down from a challenge.”
As the heated exchanges flew across the live chat, Yolanda let a smug smile curl across her face.
She had secretly conspired with a staff member to slip laxatives to Christina’s model, ensuring she wouldn’t make it to the stage.
Just as the organizers grew restless, Christina finally appeared.
Wearing her own creation, she stepped onto the stage with the poise of a seasoned model, her every movement radiating elegance.
In an instant, she seized the attention of the entire room.
She was so dazzling, so radiant, that it became impossible to look away. Both she and her design seemed to glow with an inner brilliance.
The audience held their breath, unwilling to disturb the breathtaking sight.
