The next five questions were all about literature and history. They were relatively obscure topics that most people would have to look up online to know the real answers. However, Stella Lockwood answered them all fluently, looking completely calm and composed. As the questions grew progressively harder, she only seemed to rise to the challenge. The live audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and the online livestream chat exploded. Everyone was shocked.
In the eyes of the public, Stella Lockwood was just a "flower vase"—beautiful, but with no culture or substance. She hadn't even gotten her degree yet, having failed two courses, which prevented her from graduating on time. The title of "flower vase" felt well-deserved.
But today, Stella Lockwood's performance left everyone amazed. They couldn't believe that the erudite woman on stage tonight was the same "flower vase" who was rumored online to be a complete idiot.
