"I announce that the champion of this Fragrance Frenzy is Firefly, congratulations to its designer--" Princess Matilda paused here, smiling at the somewhat distracted audience below the stage.
Everyone was drawn to her mysterious vibe, and all eyes were on her and Chloe.
Then, with a satisfied and gentle voice, Princess Matilda said, "You guys might as well prepare to scream and cheer, or you're gonna regret it."
As soon as she said this, everyone's curiosity was piqued. The entire grand hall fell silent in an instant. Everyone was staring at Princess Matilda, and no one dared to blink.
Without wasting any more time, Princess Matilda spoke again, "Congrats to the designer of 'Firefly', Star, on winning the Fragrance Frenzy once again!"
Dead silence!
No one couldn't even hear a breath. It took a while for people to gradually regain their senses.
"Did I hear that right?"
"I didn't quite catch that!"
"I think I heard 'Star', did I get that wrong?"
"I think I heard 'Star' too!"
Princess Matilda gently emphasized again, "Yes, you heard right. The champion of this year is still our Star. Today, she wins for the third consecutive time. Congratulations!"
"Did Star really show up this year? And we missed her? Unbelievable, Star is so elusive!"
"Ah, it really is Star. I finally get to see her, finally!"
"Oh my god, I am so lucky to see the legendary Star today. She is a woman."
"Feeling super lucky, never thought I would meet her. This year is really special!"
"I can't believe I get to see Star in my lifetime!"
Keira's eyes widened, she took a couple of steps back.
The champion was Star?
Star?
This was terrible! If it wasn't for her, the championship would have been hers! And it was her again, not even letting her touch the runner-up trophy!
This damn Star!
...
Sure enough, someone in the audience lost control and started screaming!
Most people were emotionally looking at Chloe; their eager eyes seemed to want to burn off the veil on Chloe's face!
"Oh, this is a disaster. Who suggested we wear masks tonight?!"
"She is not going to show her face tonight, is she?!"
"It's a miracle to see her on the award stage, don't be greedy to see her real face!"
"Her dress is so dazzling; her temperament is super good. I bet she is very beautiful!"
Everyone was speechless. They had never seen Star before, they didn't even know Star's gender. Let alone knowing any distinctive features of Star.
"Now with Princess Matilda standing by my side, don't you think this is the best proof? I believe, no one would dare to impersonate me at the Fragrance Frenzy award ceremony. Besides, standing here today, my work is the strongest evidence. Don't you think?" Chloe's words dispelled everyone's doubts.
Their doubts were not because they were skeptical, but because there were indeed many people who had been deceiving in the name of Star.
"Can you take off your veil?" A reporter asked cautiously.
At this moment, everyone in the audience held their breath. Their eyes fixed on Chloe on the stage, afraid to miss any moment.
Chloe didn't answer.
At this moment, Princess Matilda walked away from Chloe and looked at Sid, who immediately walked up to her, and bowed to Princess Matilda in a gentlemanly manner.
Princess Matilda nodded lightly, "I hope for a perfect ending tonight."
She didn't specify, but everyone understood what she meant.
Sid immediately promised, "I will do my utmost to meet your expectations."
Princess Matilda looked at Carolina in the audience. She didn't understand why an elder blindly trusted a person.
Princess Matilda left, and Keira bit her lip tightly, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Sid took a deep breath, looked at Keira and said, frowning, "Rosanna, are you really gonna go head to head with your sis?"
Keira immediately lifted her head, "Hell yeah! She's been badmouthing me! She's getting back at me! I'm gonna make her explain herself."
