Chapter 371 - Shocking The Crowd
Assistant Twig reported to Tristan and Grandpa Lu that Zhen-Zhen got the last number. Both Tristan and Grandpa Lu sighed deeply.
They had no choice but to wait. Besides, Zhen-Zhen was worth the wait. They also believed the saying 'Save the Best for Last'.
The program continued. Mary and Liam announced the assigned number of the candidate who would come out from the stage's curtain.
After the long wait, Jade and Athena's turn to showcase their beauty had finally arrived. The men's eyes were fixed on the stage.
This was the highlight they were waiting for~ the Showdown between Athena and Jade. They wondered who would win their hearts this time.
Jade's number was the first one that was called between them. A beautiful lady wearing a red tight-fitting maxi-dress with a high slit on both sides came out of the curtain.
Her medium-length black curly hair cascading down her shoulders. She looked fierce with her dress and makeup, a devilish beauty.
Everyone was in awe seeing Jade's sexy and hot demeanor. She nailed it today. The majority of men were drooling over her, most especially John.
Jade peered at her surroundings while walking across the stage, doing sexy and seductive poses.
Her heart skipped a beat the moment her eyes found Tristan sitting in the front row of seats in front of the stage. She tried to catch his attention but Tristan was not paying attention to her.
He was busy looking at the back as if he was waiting to see someone. He didn't even take a glance at Jade's face.
Though disappointed, Jade didn't show her emotion as she maintained her seductive smile. She finally grabbed the microphone and introduced herself for formality.
She knew that almost everyone already knew her. After all, she was very popular on the campus. This time she offered a cruise ship tour for everyone who would vote for her.
Tristan and Grandpa Lu reacted after hearing that. They reflexively stared at each other thinking of the same thing.
"Grandpa, what is more tempting? The cruise ship tour or the Heavenly Star Gift Certificates?" Tristan asked his grandpa, feeling doubtful.
Grandpa Lu rubbed his chin, thinking for a moment. "For young ones who love adventures and group parties, a cruise ship tour is more tempting. Sigh, let's think of a better offer."
Tristan nodded in agreement. Then the grandfather and grandson duo fell silent as they were thinking about the most effective bribe they could give for the students to vote Zhen-Zhen.
Assistant Twig and Matthew just looked at them helplessly.
"Tristan and Chairman Lu are thinking what to offer. Are they the ones who will talk on the stage? They didn't even consult Lillie about this," Matthew whispered to Assistant Twig.
Assistant Twig let out a soft chuckle while nodding his head. "Let's wait and see what young miss will offer to her schoolmates and how these two men beside us will interfere to help her." He whispered back at Matthew.
Soon, Athena's number was called. It was now her turn to appear on the stage. Another loud cheer was heard when the students saw Athena came out of the curtain.
If Jade chose to wear a red dress, Athena chose to wear a black dress. Just like Jade, she was looking hot and stunning with her long black gown with a V-neck style, accentuating the bare upper portion of her voluptuous breasts.
The pervert sides of the young men were awakened by just watching her chests and fine assets. Her dress was too revealing, showing lots of skins.
Others couldn't deny the fact that Athena was worthy to be called the Campus Belle with her body and look.
Now they were thinking that this would become another close competition between two best friends, Athena and Jade. They were now thinking about whom they should vote for between the two beautiful ladies.
Just like Jade, Athena was taken aback when she saw Tristan sitting just below the stage.
She wished to meet his gaze but Tristan was too occupied by thinking about how he could help Zhen-Zhen to gain more votes.
Tristan just paid attention when Athena spoke up her promise. This time Athena made a promise to distribute a photo in her bikini outfit with her signature.
She's already used to this since she's into modeling so she didn't mind spreading her sexy photos. She also promised another friendly date and a kiss on the cheek for selected lucky men.
If Jade used her wealth, Athena, on the other hand, used her body and charm to lure men to vote for her.
Tristan's face immediately darkened after hearing that. "Grandpa, I think I changed my mind. I don't want my wife to become a model anymore even if it's our company or product she will be representing. I don't want other men feasting on her photos. I will never let that happen."
"And hell no! No kissing and no dating with other men! Over my dead body!" Tristan added with so much conviction.
Grandpa Lu patted Tristan's back and said, "Okay. I will support you on that, grandson."
Soon, the last number was called. The First-year Class A knew that Zhen-Zhen was the last one who hadn't come out yet. They felt like leaving the venue already to save their faces from humiliation.
However, they were curious to see how the plain-looking conceited and shameless classmate of theirs would perform today.
Tristan and Grandpa Lu were now all eyes in front as they were aware that Zhen-Zhen would be the one coming out of that curtain next. They were excited to see her.
It did not take long when a girl in her white dress emerged from the curtain. The moment they saw her, the venue was engulfed by silence.
At the back center stage, a girl stood there in her white halter-neck pleated backless thigh-high slit dress matched with three-inches high heels.
The dress clung to her slender body, showing off her sexy curves, flat stomach, and narrow waist matched with feminine wide hips.
The slit on the side of her dress was giving them a glimpse of her flawless long legs.
The dress she was wearing was not too revealing compared to the other candidates but still, her overall look stood out among them.
Her long golden-brown hair was tied up in an updo. Her thick eyebrows she used during her disguise were replaced by perfect-shaped eyebrows.
Her ocean-like blue eyes were too charming as if they were looking into a vast ocean and clear blue sky, so refreshing!
Her red pouty kissable lips looked delicious and sweet. They wondered how amazing it would be to touch and kiss those lips.
She did not appear seductive but her innocent look accentuating her irresistible charm and enchanting allure captivated their hearts.
She looked like an angel who descended to Earth. They were absolutely smitten by her breathtaking and otherworldly beauty.
Under the gaze of those students, Zhen-Zhen moved across the stage with confidence while wearing her mesmerizing smile.
The students including the other participants who mocked and insulted her during the registration in front of the Student Council Office were now stunned with disbelief.
Even her classmates who looked down on her and who told her how shameless she was for asking Alicia to back out so that she could represent their class could hardly believe what they were seeing right now.
After a while, Zhen-Zhen's voice broke the deafening silence in the gym as she introduced herself to everyone present there.
"I am Lillie Meyer, the representative of First-Year Class A. Competing for the title Campus Belle. I hope I can get your support and vote for me." Zhen-Zhen softly said to the crowd, flashing her captivating smile.
After she spoke up, that's the only time everyone regained their senses. They were still shocked by this turn of events. Soon, the gym was filled with murmuring and whispering.
"Oh my God, she's drop-dead gorgeous!"
"She looks like an angel who descends from heaven, coming here on Earth to bless us."
"What's going on here? Is this Lillie? Our plain-looking classmate? Her voice is the same but her look is really different from before. Can someone explain this phenomenon?"
"There's no way she underwent surgery to change her look in just one day. We just saw her yesterday!"
"This is ridiculous… and impossible! Did Lillie hire a substitute? This is cheating!"
