Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 37

Victoria, barefoot on the drum, executed a series of continuous spins before gracefully swinging the long red water sleeves once again.

Thud!

Another water sleeves drumming!

Spontaneous applause erupted from the audience.

Victoria's dance movements were incredibly graceful and light, yet powerful, achieving the perfect blend of strength and beauty.

On the stage, after completing a high-difficulty move, Victoria suddenly leaped into the air, executing a flawless split while simultaneously sweeping the red water sleeves to both sides. Thud!

Once again, she performed a water sleeves drumming while airborne.

Witnessing this breathtaking scene, some spectators in the back rows couldn't help but stand up in excitement.

The dance move was truly astonishing, but the level of difficulty was exceptionally high.

Even the judges sitting in the panel were wide-eyed in astonishment.

Stella kept her gaze fixed on Victoria, her eyes filled with genuine admiration that she couldn't conceal.

Performing a mid-air water sleeves drumming not only required profound dance skills but also exceptional aerial control.

Victoria not only achieved these feats but also maintained a sense of aesthetics throughout her performance.

When her long red water sleeves swept through the air, it looked as if a drop of red ink had been dropped into transparent water, the ink dispersing beautifully, creating a mesmerizing effect.

Without exaggeration, she had reached the pinnacle of classical dance...

After Victoria's performance concluded and she took her bow, the audience below remained in awe, unable to snap out of the recent astonishment.

Meanwhile, the live chat was flooded with comments,

[OMG, OMG! Water sleeves drumming! And it's mid-air water sleeves drumming! Victoria, how many surprises do you still have that we don't know about!!"

[This is so unbelievably amazing! Especially when she swung the red sleeves, it looked like a splashed ink painting!]

[I thought water sleeves drumming was only seen in movies and TV shows, but I didn't expect someone could actually perform it in real life...]

[Especially the mid-air water sleeves drumming, the difficulty level is incredibly high. Few people in the entire dance community can achieve this!]

Backstage, Amelia clenched the water bottle in her hand, almost deforming it.

Water sleeves drumming...

She hadn't anticipated that Victoria had saved such a move.

Her earlier performance seemed utterly worthless in comparison to Victoria's.

Dempsey watched Victoria on stage, his expression complex.

Even though he despised Victoria, he had to admit she had performed exceptionally well, surpassing Amelia completely.

Bribing the judges to ensure Amelia's victory now seemed unfair considering Victoria's outstanding performance.

"Dempsey..."

[Isn't this score a bit too low? I remember Amelia got 9.9!]

[The judges must have their reasons for scoring like this. They are professionals, and we're just spectators. The judges must know better!]

[Yeah, the judges definitely understand more than us!]

The host, seeing the scores, was also stunned for several seconds before hurriedly raising the microphone. "Next, please, Professor Stella, announce your score!"

Stella had already decided her score and raised her scoring paddle—10 points! Once again, she gave Victoria a perfect score.

The host quickly asked, "Professor Stella, could you please explain why you gave a perfect score?"

Stella glanced at the four other judges and then looked at Victoria on stage, her voice serene. "The highest score is only 10 points, so I had to give her 10 points."

After her statement, the audience erupted into a buzz of discussion.

Even though Stella gave Victoria a perfect score, the final total scores, after the program team's calculations, were 46.8 for Victoria, 49.2 for Amelia, and 41.6 for Elizabeth. The other five contestants had even lower total scores.

Therefore, the contestant with the highest total score for this round was Amelia.

The host called all the contestants to the stage to prepare for the trophy presentation.

Elizabeth walked beside Victoria, feeling deeply unjust for her. There must be some sort of manipulation behind the scenes. Victoria clearly danced better than that Amelia, but she was given such a low score. It was highly abnormal.

However, the judges had finished scoring, and as a single contestant, she had no authority to question their decision.

Amelia stood tall and looked arrogantly in Victoria's direction, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. "You might dance well, but what good does it do when the first place is still mine?"
