Chapter 366

Lindsey’s eyes filled with tears, deeply touched by the scene.

She glanced at Selah, who was next to her, and noticed she was also crying.

However, the competition wasn’t over yet.

During the judges’ vote, Louis and Robert didn’t think twice before backing Selah.

The other three judges leaned towards Kristy, but they were under immense pressure.

Louis had spoken so highly of Selah.

To vote for Kristy now would not only draw the wrath of the public but also risk offending Louis.

Despite Josh and Jayleen’s generous offers, the judges couldn’t afford to act unfairly and jeopardize their reputations.

They also reasoned that even if Selah took this round, she would only draw even with Kristy over the three rounds.

Kristy wouldn’t be out of the competition.

With that in mind, they all cast their votes for Selah.

Selah emerged victorious in that round.

Yet, Kristy had won the first round, Selah the third, and the second was a draw.

They were at a stalemate.

Vincent, after a moment’s thought, declared an additional round.

This sudden round would determ

ine the lead actress once and for all.

Recognizing that there was still an opportunity, Jayleen urged Kristy, “You mustn’t let this extra round slip away.

”

Kristy responded with a confident smile, “Don’t worry.

I’ve already contacted my instructor.

She’s on her way here.

”

The final round had no script.

The actresses were to create the setting, story, and character themselves.

Given the unique challenge, Kristy and Selah were allowed more time to prepare.

The only criterion for this round was their ability to bring the scene to life.

Camille’s arrival at the theater during the preparations caused a stir among the judges; even Louis stood to welcome her.

It was clear to everyone that Camille had come specifically to support Kristy.

With Camille’s guidance, Kristy quickly figured out what her performance would involve, and Camille even took charge of directing the finer points of the next performance.

This boosted Kristy’s confidence immensely.

Everyone at the theater made a point of praising Camille, leaving Lindsey and Selah on the sidelines.

But they didn’t mind.

Instead, they focused on discussing the specifics and direction for the next performance.

When the prep time was up, it was finally Kristy and Selah’s turn to face off.

Kristy stepped onto the stage first, and as the spotlight hit her, a hush fell.

With Camille’s coaching, Kristy’s act transformed from her earlier ones.

There was a depth to her performance now, captivating and intense.

After she finished, the judges rose to their feet in applause.
