Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Very Embarrassed, Yet Very Touching

I bolted to the studio, but dang, the live show was already rolling. The contestants were doing their thing, and the vibe was off the charts.

I spotted Faye right in the middle, her white dress still looking fresh.

Maybe she figured something out? I kicked myself for not getting there sooner. Would Faye think I bailed on her on purpose?

Back in my seat, Bella leaned over and asked where I'd been.

I whispered, "Bathroom break."

The opening dance wrapped up, and the host hit the stage. After some blah-blah-blah, she dropped a bombshell about a special guest joining the judges today. Everyone was buzzing with curiosity.

The music kicked in, the stage's backdrop slid open, and with a roar of applause, the mystery guest strutted to the front.

No way, was it her?

Yep, it was Aurora.

Aurora rocked a killer cheongsam, light makeup, and short, wavy hair, looking classy as ever.

"Give it up for Aurora!" The host got the crowd clapping again.

The host hyped Aurora as a top-tier beauty and makeup guru and the event's image consultant. Today, she was officially joining the judges to help decide the contestants' fates. Aurora flashed a smile at the crowd, and when her eyes landed on me, she paused and gave a tiny nod.

Then the host dropped another bombshell that had everyone gasping.

Turns out, Aurora was over sixty, but she looked like she was in her thirties or forties. Talk about aging goals.

After the intro, Aurora took her spot at the judges' table and grinned. "I might not know much about singing, but I can definitely judge your stage presence. Good luck, y'all!" Faye, standing off to the side, looked totally shocked.

The competition rolled on with solo acts, everyone going in the order they drew.

"Where's Connie?" Oliver suddenly asked.

Hearing that, I remembered she was MIA during the group performance earlier.

Connie was super competitive, and I really hoped she'd crush it and chase her dream.

But where the heck was she?

Faye belted out a peppy tune with lively moves that nailed her sweet image.

When she finished, the applause was wild.

Waiting for the judges' call, she looked super confident, knowing she had all the judges in her pocket-except for Aurora.
