Chapter 1541 - : Winner of the Grand Finals (1/2)
Shen Siwen could hardly believe or accept this result. Even the audience looked somewhat shocked. After all, Shen Siwen was third place in the preliminary rankings, and according to past experience, the final three rankings would always be a fight between those three.
No one expected that male competitor from Country M to surpass Shen Siwen in the final round, and end up squeezing a place for himself in the top three rankings.
After Jacqueline Madan, another competitor managed to outdo Shen Siwen.
Wen Xinya did not think much about this situation. Shen Siwen had pursued marketability and focused too much on attaining mass appeal while neglecting the soul and meaning of her designs. As a result, it was inevitable that she would fail.
The judges’ eyes were pure. In international jewelry design competitions, marketability was just one of the judging criteria and not the main focus.
After realizing this, Wen Xinya no longer paid Shen Siwen any attention.
At that point, the host was already announcing the second place.
“The second place winner of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition is…” The host paused again.
Jacqueline Madan felt like her heart was in her throat while her body involuntarily tensed up. She couldn’t help turning her greenish-blue eyes toward Wen Xinya.
The last eight placings of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had already been announced, and only Wen Xinya and her were left.
Although she already had a premonition, it was natural for a competitor to not admit defeat until the very last moment.
Jacqueline Madan was no exception.
She was hoping for a miracle.
She knew that it was not impossible for miracles to happen during competitions.
Compared to Jacqueline Madan’s irrepressible anxiety, Wen Xinya looked quite calm. The bright spotlight kept switching its focus between Wen Xinya and Jacqueline Madan, while the entire arena had gone deadly silent.
Wen Xinya and Jacqueline Madan had been engaged in a bitter fight, and the deciding moment had arrived.
This heart-stopping scene had everyone waiting with breath abated. They were all eagerly anticipating that exciting moment of revelation.
The host finally placed the microphone by his lips and revealed the long-awaited answer. “It is our competitor from France, Miss Jacqueline Madan, with a total score of 94 points. Let’s give her a warm round of applause.”
It was an answer that was wholly within expectations, but it still incited loud cheers from the crowd.
The dazzling spotlight focused on Jacqueline Madan, who didn’t display any of the joy that should have come with being a second place winner. Instead, her heart churned with resentment.
Her mind was filled with just one thought!
