Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Firmly in First Place
Before Jackie Qualls had a chance to defuse the crisis, James Landon interrupted from the side.
His voice was as detached and nonchalant as ever, "The crying trainee should not disturb the ranking of the group behind us. Many people are waiting to come on stage. Tears are not an excuse for you to steal the spotlight."
His words directly penetrated Tiffany Lynch’s pretense.
Jackie looked over and put down the microphone he had picked up.
He knew that James was trying to help Hannah.
A pang of sourness filled his heart, and the smile on his face became somewhat bitter.
After James spoke, the trainees who had previously surrounded Tiffany felt uncomfortable. They had been very eager to observe her, but now they were running away just as fast.
Only Tiffany was left standing there. Due to the thick base makeup, there were two white streaks on her face.
She looked even more miserable.
As she looked up, she met Hannah’s meaningful smile.
Just like the one Hannah had when Tiffany cried during the initial stage ranking.
Mocking, teasing, as if watching a monkey being played with.
Indifferent to it all.
Even though Hannah didn’t say a word, it made Tiffany feel like a dirty bug in the gutter, unable to make it to the stage.
Tiffany glared at Hannah, and only when she came to her senses did she realize the camera was pointed at her.
But it was too late.
——Oh my goodness, Tiffany’s expression just now was terrifying! She looked like a defeated rooster from our hometown.
——So, Tiffany and Hannah don’t get along well?
——Tiffany must be unhappy with Hannah. After all, she’s the one she can’t surpass even with pull-in strings.
——So, Tiffany is a cunning white lotus? James must have been fed up with it.
——She cried on the initial stage, and she’s crying again in the ranking. Can’t she come up with something new? Watching her makes me feel tired.
——Don’t interpret maliciously. Tiffany’s fake eyelashes might have fallen into her eyes, causing discomfort.
——Wow, what a fresh and unique reason. Fans indeed are experts in defending their idols. I’m impressed.
After the tutors voted, the voting results among the trainees also came out.
Except for the 16 trainees of the third-largest group, half of the remaining trainees chose to vote for Hannah.
Thus, the ranking was clear.
A minute later, the ranking appeared on the big screen behind them.
Unlike the two previous groups, the scores were blurred out and not directly shown, only the ranking was listed.
The program group explained that the specific scores were still being double-checked.
Hannah steadily held the first place, challenge succeeded.
Tiffany Lynch ranked second.
Further down, in ninth place was May Hoffman.
But few people paid attention to this rather quiet and melancholy trainee.
The audience complained about the program’s obscuring of the scores.
Some even suspected that the program was protecting the dignity of a royal.
However, someone soon calculated everyone’s real scores based on the existing number of votes.
Accurate to four decimal places.
——Hannah Winter, total score 699.8215, Tiffany Lynch, total score 310.692... May Hoffman 170.391, Roxanne 169.83...
——So Hannah’s score is more than double of Tiffany’s?
——Fans have nothing to say now, right? Your idol is being slapped in the face.
——So, according to the rules, if Hannah challenged Tiffany, would Tiffany’s level drop to Class F?
——I feel awkward for them. Please don’t jinx yourself!
After the ranking was released, the most crucial moment came.
