Everyone turned subconsciously to Harmony, who smiled as if she was preparing to accept her first-place results.
After a brief pause, Walter announced, "…Samantha Larsson!"
Silence ensued, followed by an uproar! Samantha performed well, but in terms of vocabulary, aura, and professionalism, Harmony was certainly much better than her. How could Samantha possibly surpass Harmony?
Jade was the first to object. She asked loudly, "Mr. Schuck, why is Samantha in first place? Harmony's flawless performance was obviously much better. I disagree with the result."
She then turned to the contestants whom she was friendly with and asked, "What do you think?"
They echoed in agreement. "She's right, Mr. Schuck. This competition is supposed to be fair, isn't it? We've all watched Harmony and Samantha's reporting, and Harmony is undoubtedly much better! Could this be some sort of bias due to Samantha's status?"
