The next moment, a string of numbers appeared behind the names of the contestants.
“Melissa… .”
Melissa muttered to herself as her pupils contracted. She had won the first prize this time.
“Jaelyn Leeds, congrattions on winning the first prize. This time, the top five contestants will be
eligible for the next round for the six out of ten to enter the final round of thepetition.”
The host’s voice sounded, and Melissa pped her chest and grinned.
“Thank you so much, everyone.”
There was a drop of tear in the eyes of thedy called Jaelyn, which showed her joy in winning the
round.
This award ceremony was broadcasted all over the world. Soon, the news of Melissa entering the final
round spread to her country.
The people in the country couldn’t believe it. They looked at the screen in front of them. The etiquette
was the ultimate responsible person in charge of thepetition.
After seeing that Melissa had entered the final round, everyone looked at each other. Before this, they
had thought that Melissa would be eliminated in the first round. Unexpectedly, Melissa had done such a
good job.
The finished carving that Keyon had exposed to the public turned out to be the work of Melissa
participating in the preliminarypetition.
Everyone was regretful. When they thought of the cold words they had said to Melissa, they were
flushed.
Melissa’s carving skills were recognized by everyone, but there were still many people in the industry
who didn’t recognize Melissa.
The online praises of Melissa’s skills were overwhelming, but many people were dissatisfied with this
current situation and criticized Melissa’s painting.
“It can’t be. I can’t believe that people are persuaded so easily by her skills. Melissa’s painting skills
have always been inferior to Leticia’s. The victory this time was just a fluke.”
When the remark came out, the direction of theizens’ attitudes changed one after another. And
many people turned to criticize Melissa’s painting skills.
“That’s right. She once showed off because she was Mr. Boyle’s student, right? If she had the ability,
why would she rely on others?”
Netizens directly discussed Melissa’s painting skills, and some peoplepared Leticia to Melissa.
Many people had already started to curse Melissa without caring that she had won the grand prize for
the country.
At that time, Melissa was sitting in the hotel. The carvingpetition hade to a temporary end.

back. She read thements on Twitter calmly.
Melissa pouted. It was just that some people who were unfamiliar with her were criticizing her. After
having experienced so much violence on the Inte, Melissa was already numb.
Just as she was about to put down her cellphone to rest, a call disrupted her thoughts.
Melissa nced sideways and saw that it was a call from the president of Painting Association.
She took the cellphone and answered, ‘ Hello. What’s the matter?”
Melissa’s voice was soft while making people feel veryfortable listening to it.
“There will be a paintingpetition in two days. Didn’t you just finish the carvingpetition? Do you
have time to participate?”
The president of Painting Association said in a hoarse voice. He must have read the publicments
at night.
“Participate?”
Melissa smiled gently. “Isn’t it just defeating them if you let me go? There’s noparison.”
“Well, young girl. You are so confident.”
The president of the association raised his head andughed. But Melissa did have the strength to do
so. “How can I let youpete with them? I want to invite you to be a judge. If I let you be a
“I should have time. Send the time and address to my email. I will go if I’m free.”
Melissa nodded and agreed. She had just finished thepetition these two days, and she had
nothing to do in thepany, so she might have time.
It just so happened that she had nothing to do, so she could go take a look at the painting field.
A few dayster, Melissa received an invitation from the president of Painting Association. This time,
she was going to be a judge. She stood in front of the mirror and carefully dressed up. And she looked
more mature.
Melissa had red lips while giving a more charming look.
She sat in the car that was especially for her and watched the members of the painting field who came
and went all the way. And the car went straight into the innermostyer of thepetition venue
without stopping.
Many people noticed Melissa’s car. When they saw the woman in the car, they felt that Melissa was
very familiar. But they couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t recognize that the person inside was Melissa.
As thepetition continued, the participants stood in a row on the stage and faced the judges.
The background music sounded, and several judges walked through the door.
The first to enter was the president of Painting Association. His reputation and ability in the painting
field were well-known, so everyone was not surprised that he came to be one of the judges.
The next few people who came out were all elders of the painting field. They were all great figures that
were rarely seen on normal days. Now that they were all gathered together, it was difficult for the
But when thest judge walked in, everyone widened their eyes in shock.
That pair of slender thighs were clearly of a woman. The surrounding people were all surprised. When
did a young woman appear in the painting field?
At the end, when Melissa’s appearance appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, everyone was stunned.
Melissa was dressed very seriously and steadily today,pletely different from her usualmercial
image. Her morous eyes, which were just like the masterpiece of the deity, were also full of
seriousness at this time.
The judges had already gathered and arrived at the judges’ table.
Everyone’s gaze was undoubtedly on Melissa.
Although Melissa was young, her temperament was no less than that of the other elders of the painting
field. Her face, which was envied by many women, attracted the attention of countless people.
Unexpectedly, Melissa became the judge of thispetition. After thinking of her achievements in the
carvingpetition before, everyone was shocked again.
Then, the judges sat down, and thepetition began.
As soon as the first contestant came up, his hands exerted force from his belly. As a ray of green light
shone down, the contestant’s painting of energy appeared before everyone.
The judges fell into deep thought, which made the first contestant very embarrassed.
The person in charge handed the microphone to Melissa. Everyone held their breath again without
knowing what Melissa would say.
Melissa calmly took the microphone with an unchanged expression. “I can see that your painting of
energy is better than ordinary people. You are talented. Am I right?”
The contestant nodded. And Melissa continued, “It’s just that you haven’t practiced hard enough.
Sess is 30 percent up to talent and 70 percent up to practice. Your painting of energy iscking in
internal energy. The two sides are long but just a sh. This is the result ofcking practice. No matter
how talented you are, it will be a waste if you don’t practice well.”
After hearing this, the contestant lowered his head in shame.
