?Chapter 1177:


    Allison tried to mask her emotions, but a glimmer of excitement slipped through, curving her lips into the faintest smile.


    “Perfect score. Twenty-five points.”


    The wordsnded like a thunderp. The entire hall went silent, while the live chat erupted in disbelief.


    “What?! She actually gave Christina full marks? How could a thief get a perfect score?”


    “I’ve always heard Allison is the toughest judge. Why would she hand out a perfect score? Does Christina have something on her?”


    “This is the first time I’ve ever seen Allison give full points. That’s not her style. Was she threatened?”


    Ynda’s fans fumed, spreading rumors that Christina must have ckmailed Allison. They even whispered about shady deals behind the scenes.


    Some went further, questioning whether Christina and the organizers had conspired together.


    Ynda’splexion drained, her frozen smile stiff on her face. Her brief taste of triumph had been snatched away, reced by Christina’s dazzling moment—a p to her pride.


    Christina had stolen the stage, not only striding down the runway in her own creation but also earning a perfect score.


    Ynda refused to ept it. Her own score had been far above the rest; how could Christina possibly surpass her?


    It didn’t add up. Something underhanded had to be going on!


    Just as Ynda was gathering herself to use the organizers of tampering, Allison’s voice rang out, calling to Christina.


    “My mentor.”


    ???????????????????? ?????????????????? ???? g??????ν?????????????


    What?!


    Ynda’s eyes widened in shock.


    Had she heard correctly?


    Christina… was Allison’s mentor? How could that be true? The fashion designer Ynda had worshipped all this time was in fact Christina’s apprentice.


    Ynda’s chest tightened with humiliation, her pride copsing like a fragile shell.


    Gasps rippled through the crowd, and the flood ofments online echoed the same disbelief.


    “Holy crap! Did she really just say that? Christina is Allison’s mentor?”


    “This feels unreal. She’s much younger than Allison—how could she possibly be Allison’s mentor?”


    “Why not? Christina is also Magnus Cruz’s mentor, and he’s much older than her. That just proves how extraordinary she is!”


    Christina’s lips curved into a gentle smile as she met Allison’s excited eyes.
