Chapter 26 Revenge At The Miss Chinatown Pageant

• This year's Miss Chinatown Beauty Pageant is more grandiose than ever before, covered in full by the renowned Jade Television Station. After preliminary and rerun rounds through various subdivisions, thirty beauties have made it to the finals. Today's banquet is the first such gathering hosted by the organizers, attended by both sponsors and judges.
• Jane, along with the other twenty-nine beauties, started getting ready early in the morning, donned in uniform white low-cut dresses. As the cocktail party neared, tension mounted; some were touching up their makeup, others were practicing their poise, for this event was of great significance to every one of them—

How well one seized opportunities here could directly affect advancement in the competition and even one's future prospects.
