Once the three rounds were over, it was into the scoring session of the judges and the live audience.
This time, the results of the contest were announced directly.
Micaela came in first place, Gabriela in second and Adriana in third. The other two finished at the bottom with low scores due to inappropriate comments backstage that lowered the confidence of the judges and the audience.
Olivia was in tears with emotion. On stage the awards began and she watched as Micaela donned the crown and big red cape and received her trophy and certificate.
Before the competition began, she chased Micaela into the bathroom. When she didn’t know how she was going to calm her down, Micaela dragged her into a cubicle, lowered her voice and said:
-Olivia, I’m fine. I was acting on purpose to see what Adriana would do, I won’t let you down in the competition later!
Olivia was simply dumbfounded:
-Did you just pretend?
But she looked very sad at the moment.
Micaela shook her head:
-I am very sad. There was a tie pin on the nightstand in that picture. That was my Valentine’s Day gift to him, exclusive and custom-made.
Olivia covered her mouth in surprise, associating that one of the previous photos was also taken in that room. And that photo clearly told them that Carlos had gone on a date with another woman in a hotel!
Olivia couldn’t imagine:
-Mr. Aguayo, did he really betray you?
Micaela felt very uncomfortable, but she said firmly:
-No, I still believe in him until I get confirmation.
Olivia came up with the words of a woman:
-Olivia, Leonardo has chosen me. You know very well that I can improve his career, while you, apart from love, can give him nothing?
***
The hot waves of applause brought Olivia back to her senses, only to see Adriana holding the microphone.
Olivia growled coldly.
“I didn’t expect her to come in second place.”
Adriana was unhappy with the result, because she had lost to Micaela!
She hated her so much.
It was not the right time to vent her frustrations, so she adjusted her mood and tried to deliver her speech, which she had practiced many times.
As she was about to speak, the audience stared at the big screen and, gasp!
-What the hell is this?
-My God! The picture is of Micaela and the second son of Grupo Franco!
The letter says that he is Micaela’s ex-boyfriend. And they’re still in a relationship, so they’re acting so close.
-Mother of mine! -What’s going on?
…
Adriana was so shocked that she looked back, only to see the huge screen showing the evidence she had sent to Super Angel Contest that time, the supposed evidence that Micaela did not meet the entry requirements….
The screen was so big that the letter and the photo were also very clearly visible, especially the photo, which they looked even more affectionate because of the angle, as if Micaela was leaning intimately in Marcos’ arms.
Could it be that the mystery man did too?
Adriana should have been thrilled. If this appeared at this moment, Micaela’s grades might suffer and her image would be tarnished.
However, Adriana was always feeling uneasy….
Micaela and Olivia were so surprised. Only now did they realize that Adriana’s ultimate goal was this.
She wanted the outcome of the match to be reversed.
The director was also stunned and hurriedly rushed backstage.
“How could this suddenly appear?”
At this point many disgruntled people accused:
-This contest result is unfair! Micaela is not worthy of a champion!
-There is clear evidence, and yet she entered the contest and came in first place. You were bribed, weren’t you?
-Someone reported it, but why was it ignored?
-Mr. Aguayo is Micaela’s boyfriend, so she must have won because of his power!
-Adriana is so pathetic that she has been betrayed by her boyfriend!
-We demand a reasonable explanation!
…
Adriana was still a little uneasy, but, looking at the situation, that mysterious man had foreseen it very well, and had even arranged for them to help her talk.
“Maybe this will indeed defeat Micaela?”
At that moment, she became the victim of her boyfriend’s betrayal.
Both Micaela and Olivia were sure that these were the people arranged by Adriana!
There were more of Micaela’s fans and after watching the screen intently for half a day, they also spoke out in counterattack:
-What can these things prove? Does the fact that Micaela has such a wonderful boyfriend as Mr. Aguayo exempt her from coming to the competition?
-It’s just a photo.
-It’s normal to have an ex-boyfriend, and take pictures together!
-We all know she got the first place on her own!
…
The two sides clashed and the scene was chaos.
Micaela was very grateful to these fans.
“That time in Rioslaider, I’m afraid it was Adriana who asked Marcos to find me.
So it just so happened that the photo was taken.”
The presenter had to come out to do justice:
-Thank you all for your support – our contest is absolutely fair and impartial!
Suddenly, Adriana wiped her tears and raised the microphone, choking up and saying:
-I did not expect Micaela to be a person like that, to seduce my boyfriend…..
Before she could finish her sentence, what was shown on the big screen changed again.
