Chapter 1146 Sylvia smiled at him.
Master Springsteen‘s reaction also brought the other confused people back to their senses.
Christopher and Simon applauded in unison. The two old artists also smiled and clapped their hands.
In the audience, a group of students participating in the competition froze for a moment, then followed suit and
clapped.
The applause rang loudly and did not stop for a long time.
Sylvia looked at the first–row seats in the middle.
Isabel and Liam both stood up, and Odell’s usually cold face was warm and smiling.
Isabel stepped on the chair and held up her little fist, yelling, “Mommy is the best! Mommy is my god!”
Sylvia was speechless. She beamed at them and looked at Odell.
His tall figure stood straight as he held Flint steadily in one hand. When he saw her look over, he immediately took

At the same time, the corners of his thin lips rose slightly in a gentle and charming smile.
Sylvia curled her lips up back at him.
The continuous applause finally stopped.
Christopher could not hold back his joy and said with a smile, “All five judges have finished their paintings, and you
saw their paintings on the big screen one by one. Does anyone else have any objections?” He emphasized the word
‘objection.‘
At the same time, his eyes looked at Lily on the stage, Mr. Carmine, Haytham, and the group of students around
him.
Lily walked directly to Sylvia‘s seat and looked at the painting on the easel as if she could not believe Sylvia could
paint in public. Then, her expression turned even paler and uglier.
Below the stage, Mr. Carmine‘s expression was embarrassed. He took off his glasses and wiped them with a
microfiber cloth.
Meanwhile , Haytham and the group of students around him, who had previously called Sylvia out for being
unworthy of acting as a judge and had coaxed everyone to threaten Christopher by withdrawing from the
competition to remove Sylvia as the main judge, all lowered their heads sheepishly. They did not dare to look at the
stage again, let alone say a single word. Besides them, the other people in the Art Association,
who followed Haytham‘s lead in mocking Sylvia, all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her at all.
Only those who never vilified Sylvia, such as Simon, Master Springsteen, the old members of the association, the
two old artists who were also judges, and the other participants who did not attack Sylvia stared at her painting on
the screen. Their eyes were wide, as if afraid that the camera would suddenly move away and they would not be
able to see the painting anymore.
The venue was quiet.
No one said anything even after a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo one bothered to answer Christopher‘s question about having any objections.
Christopher laughed. “Since no one has any objections , the initial arrangement shall remain. These five will be the
judges of this competition, and Sylvia is still the main judge.” After he spoke, another burst of applause broke out.
The first to clap was Isabel , who applauded so fast as if she was not afraid of her chubby little hands hurting. Liam
followed suit and clapped. Then, Master Springsteen also applauded with a smile on his face. It was clear what he
meant. He was very much in favor of letting Sylvia be the main judge.
He was Lily‘s grandfather, so if that was his decision, the others would naturally follow along and say that Sylvia
deserved it. The crowd clapped along with him. Finally, Mr. Carmine, Haytham, and the others also lowered their
heads and clapped.
Only Lily continued to stare at Sylvia‘s painting.
It took a while before the applause stopped. Then, one of the contestants in the audience asked,” President Dendro,
can we go up on stage and admire the works of the five judges up close?”
Almost all the contestants looked at Christopher expectantly as soon as he spoke.
He was stunned for a moment and said, “Of course. However, you have to come up in an orderly manner. Don‘t
rush up at once.” The contestant grinned. “We understand. Don‘t worry!”
