The Heiress Strikes Back

314 Playing Against Each Other

At this moment, Yumi sat on the bed in her room, her entire body trembling. I have betrayed Sharon and Whitney’s trust. I’ve done the thing I hate the most... What should I do? What should I do...

She recalled the scene of her returning the hair clip to Quentin when Sharon and Whitney were asleep.

In Quentin’s room, Yumi and Quentin sat opposite each other. “Miss, I’ll return this to you. I might be eliminated in the next round...”

“I see. You have to change your personality; it’s no wonder you’re always being bullied. You’re not wrong; you’re just too honest. Anna knew she needed to use the identity of the victim to gain sympathy, and someone like you exposed yourself.”

“But I’m the victim...” Yumi whispered.

Quentin smiled. “Even if I believe you, what about the others? Besides, how are you going to prove it? The truth is never important in this circle. What’s important is that someone has to be willing to believe you. Everyone will believe what they see. In this competition, you’ve already lost.”

“Whether it’s an actor or a singer, it’s all acting in front of the camera. What you need to consider is how you can maintain your persona without leaving a trace under the attention of tens of millions of eyes-this is the hardest test. It doesn’t matter; you’re still young. You still have a chance if you’re eliminated. Next time, you have to remember to be careful and tactful.”

Hearing Quentin’s light words, Yumi didn’t know what to say for a moment. I’m only a few steps away from advancing. If I’m eliminated now, I will be completely abandoned... I don’t have a good family background like Whitney, nor do I have an opportunity like Sharon. Should I continue to be a dog in the gutter? Absolutely not!

“Ms. Quentin, I don’t have a chance anymore! What should I do?”

Looking at Yumi’s anxious expression, Quentin smiled. “Nobody is obligated to teach you step by step. Watch how others do it-you need to use your brain.”

So early in the morning... Yumi returned to her room and wrote that sentence on the mirror with the color lipstick Quentin had given her...

Anna... She taught me all this. Yumi was terrified. I just wanted Anna to understand how I feel when I’m bullied. This really isn’t good. If Sharon and Whitney knew that I’m such a person, what would they think of me?

But... She curled up under the blanket. It doesn’t matter as long as I don’t get caught. That’s right... I need real friends. I need the support and approval of the audience!

In the blink of an eye, the fourth public performance began.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Benjamin. There are two tasks for today’s recording: One, a two-on-two duel to choose the top five people for the casting of Gazelle. Two, to determine the stage grouping and song selection of the mentors and to determine the three people who will ultimately advance.”

Everyone looked at the host in unison. They didn’t expect the program team to announce the subsequent performances so directly.

At this point, everyone was very clear. After the first few rounds of the competition ended, everyone could guess who had successfully advanced-it was none other than Xenia, Whitney, and Melinda.

Even Yumi was a little stronger than Anna, and there were only three spots left.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the last pair-Sharon and Yvette. They wondered who would advance next.

“I’ll show you the difference. So what if you choose such a song? I’ll still surpass you.”

The two of them walked onto the stage together. Like the other contestants, the two of them sat opposite each other and started their individual performances.

Yvette took a deep breath. Although the piano piece Sharon chose is indeed a little difficult, I have been staying in the piano room every day recently. How can I make a mistake now?!

Yvette sat in front of the piano and played seriously.

Unexpectedly, Sharon suddenly raised her hand. Sitting in front of the piano, she also played smoothly with her slender fingers.

The intoxicating sound of the piano suddenly shocked everyone present, making them immersed in it. Moreover, because Sharon’s music was smoother, her performance was more emotional compared to Yvette.

Yvette listened to the familiar melody in shock. What is Sharon doing?

And what surprised her even more was that she almost couldn’t keep up with Sharon...
