Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139 - Great Surprise? _1

Chapter 1139

Charles Carrington was pretty bored. He sent a photo to Layla Lowell.

Receiving no reply and seeing a ’message not sent’ notification with a red exclamation point, he ground his back teeth together. He turned to ask Alexander Foster for the location of the management department before announcing, "I’m stepping out for a bit."

Alex didn’t respond.

In a blink of an eye, the show carried on till they reached the third last performance.

Everyone was feeling tired, especially the judges who needed to focus on the performances.

Three hours of shows are enough to wear anyone out.

The third last performance was the Thousand Hand Bodhisattva dance.

The lead performer was Raine Nolan from the Department of Mathematics.

The dance had been modified to incorporate singing.

Everyone found it interesting, chasing away some of the lethargy, but the atmosphere remained dull.

This elegance of the dance was best savoured in tranquility.

However, the judges were affected by the audience’s reaction when scoring. If the reaction was lively, they would give a higher score.

The dance neared its end, and the audience started applauding.

Finally, it was time for the penultimate performance. According to the real-time voting count for the School Beauty, Mane York was leading by over a thousand votes. She was now almost two thousand votes ahead.

It was even harder for Chloe Collins to catch up.

The host came forward, interpreting his script, he mentioned ’Chloe Collins.’ When addressing the School Beauty contest, he elaborated in detail.

Alex remained calm, exuding a completely different aura compared to earlier, becoming considerably gentle.

He made a phone call.

"You’re ready?"

"Yes, President, we’re ready. We will capture all Miss Collins’ beautiful moments. Would you like us to provide extra support, sir?"

"No need, she is fully capable of dominating the stage."

After hanging up the phone, he smiled and watched the stage with soft eyes.

The female host looked at the script in her hand. Her face changed suddenly, she turned and glanced at the male host next to her. Suppressing her excitement, she announced: "From the School of Information Science and Technology, automation department, we present Chloe Collins from the 2021 batch of new students, along with her co-performers... Damien Hart! Robert Foster! Milton White! As they perform ’Nian’."

Her clear and strong female voice echoed throughout the venue. The audience fell silent on hearing a certain name.

One second later –

"Hart... Hart, Hart who?"

"I think... Damien Hart! And also that musical genius Robert Foster! Is it really them?"

"Oh my gosh, Robert is believable, but remember Miles White? Miles is Chloe Collins, I like him so much!"

"But is Damien Hart for real? I’m his fan. Wasn’t he supposed to be on a show in Country H tonight? It must be fake!"

"Indeed! I heard it correctly! There’s no mistake! Look, the crowd is already going wild!"

Everyone raised their heads, necks stretched, looking towards the stage. The lights had dimmed down, leaving the stage in darkness.

Some students in the rear couldn’t hold back and stood up to move ahead, some even used binoculars.

No one was onstage, yet the audience had already begun to get rowdy.

The judges exchanged glances, their tiredness was entirely wiped away. They put on their glasses, waiting to see if it was a coincidence of names or the actual people.

There was a commotion around Alex, and it wasn’t any different on Charles’s side.

He had been blending in for a while and Layla didn’t pay attention to him. But when she heard the female host’s announcement like she was given a new lease of life, she quickly disappeared into the crowd, squeezing her way forward.
