The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 688

The crowd buzzed with speculation, everyone whispering their own theories and opinions.

The hotter Stella’s fame burned, the more controversy swirled around her.

Not that any of it touched her. Stella remained unbothered.

Soon, the day of the finals arrived.

To prevent the strongest competitors from knocking each other out early—letting a lucky underdog slip through to second or third place—the competition wasn’t set up as a simple elimination. Instead, they used a points system.

The ten finalists would each face a gauntlet: solo performances, ensemble work, and a round-robin of head-to-head duels. Every match and performance earned points, and in the end, the three highest scorers would be crowned champion, runner-up, and third place.

This format demanded not only skill, but also stamina and steady nerves. For every contestant, it was a true test of endurance and mentality.

Stella had made it to the finals. Abby, Candida Fletcher, Antoney, Neville, and Marvin Connolly all showed up to support her.

The concert hall was packed—every seat taken. Scanning the crowd, Stella even spotted quite a few international faces.

This time, Mr. Walden himself had been invited to deliver the opening speech.

He spoke at length, his words brimming with encouragement. Up on stage, most of the contestants—everyone except Stella and Rachel—looked visibly moved, some even trembling with excitement.

Stella wasn’t surprised. Once, she too had idolized Mr. Walden. These days, the pedestal she’d placed him on had long since crumbled, but she still respected him. His talent and achievements were unrivaled in the field—no one could deny that.

When Mr. Walden finished, the host smiled and asked, “We’ve heard that your most promising protégé is competing today, and she’s the odds-on favorite to win. Mr. Walden, how do you feel about that?”
