Chapter 757

Some contestants with a real shot at reaching the finals began pressuring the production team, demanding that Sharon be disqualified.

No matter how the organizers explained-reiterating that Sharon had missed that round only because of a car accident, that she was an innocent victim-none of the contestants were willing to listen.

They repeated the same line again and again, “Abigail lost by default only because of Sharon. If Sharon doesn’t take responsibility, it’s unfair to Abigail.”

With that charge of “unfairness” weighing on them, even the production team found themselves in a bind.

Inside the conference room, the program’s core decision-makers gathered to discuss the issue.

One executive said, “Strictly speaking, this isn’t Sharon’s fault. It’s a loophole in the rules. Abigail is innocent, but Sharon shouldn’t be forced to shoulder the blame either. How about this: we record Sharon’s score for this round as zero, but let Abigail advance, same as the other team that won by default?”

Another executive shook his head. “That won’t work. If we do that, the other contestants will cry foul again. Giving zero points isn’t fair, but advancing her isn’t fair either.”

One of the judges gave a cold laugh. “Those contestants’ intentions couldn’t be more obvious. They just want Sharon out. But have they looked at themselves? Even if they succeed in forcing her to withdraw, do they honestly think their level is enough to face international competitors? They’ll be crushed before the match even begins.”
