Chapter 171
A group of reporters surrounded Adlery when she chatted with her fans, and a tall man handed his microphone
could you share what makes you confident participating in Supergalactic Math
Before Audrey could answer, countless sharp questions followed. "Everyone on the Internet says you love a sugar daddy behind you. They even say that you came to participate in the competition to snatch someone else's opportunity What do you think about this? A reporter pulled a long face and looked fierce. The camera in his hand wished it could capture Audrey's face
Audrey was forced to retreat. But because many fans were behind her, she had no choice but to raise her hand to block the camera. Kieran saw Audrey was not feeling well and immediately stepped forward to black the reporters. "Trà time for her to come on stage. Everyone, stop pushing forward. Be careful not to bump into bert"
When the tall reporter, Zayn, saw this scene, he did not leave, Instead, he became even more excited. "Mr. Patel, as the person in charge of Supergalactic Idol, why are you so interested in this blogger? Do the two of you know each other in private? Kieran was shocked. Who let this brainless reporter in?
Kieran's face immediately turned cold and he said sternly. "Where's the security? Security!" The place was packed, and the security guards could not squeeze in.
Zayn sneered and continued to walk forward with his camera. "Please don't avoid my question. Many people on the Internet are concerned about whether you know Audic. They also want to know if the production team's principle of choosing guests is open and transparent. Is there any shady dealings!"
uses to select people. If угони can't
Kieran's expression stiffened. He said coldly. There's no need to reveal what standards our production team uses to interview properly, scram!"
However, Zayn was not afraid of Kieran. He continued interrogating Audrey. "Audic, you've been hiding behind Mr. Patel without making a sound. Are you making him your spokesperson!
"Since you dare to snatch someone else's opportunity to participate in this competition, why don't you dare to face these controversies head-on!"
What kind of fucked up questions are these!
Kieran feared his questions would affect Audrey. He pushed Zayn away and said, "We don't welcome troublemakers here. If you can't do a proper interview, you better leave!" Zayn raised his brows and grew more excited. He shouted. The producer hit someone! The production team hit me?" The people around him holding cameras took photos. Kieran was speechless. Looking at the unreasonable Zayn, his head felt dizzy
Seeing that Kieran was speechless, Zayn immediately approached Audrey.
1. ey. Because there were too many people at the scene and it was chaotic, he kicked away the camera frame and carried the camera with one hand.
Audrey's face sank when she saw the camera frame he had kicked away hit a visitor. She looked up and stared coldly at the camera in Zayn's hand. Her expression under the mask was as cold as ice, and her tone was stern. Please be aware that there are people around your
Hearing Audrey's warning. Zayn's face was filled with disdain as he mocked, "You've learned to put on airs even before you're famous. Do you think you're a big star?"
Before Audrey could say anything. Denise could not take it anymore.
Sise stood before Zayn and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how to interview! I know your goal is only to spread misinformation and gain traffic. You're nothing but a failure. Shame on you!" "That's right. What kind of rubbish questions are you asking! Are you here for an interview or to create rumors!"
"If you don't know how to interview, go home. Don't waste other people's time!"
"What an idiot. Your mom must've been ashamed to have you.
Zayn was completely humbled. What happened? Aren't these fans usually tear each other apart to support their idol Why are they suddenly so protective of their idol's competitor?"
Chapter 172
Zayn was trisdered speechless
As such, he had no choice but to charge the subject,
"Audir if you're here for the show, shy
are you wearing a mask?" he
He looked straight into her eyes and confused to ask. "Is it because you're not confident in your looks like what everyone deliberately doing this to my to attract attention?"
Audrey completely lost her patience in the face of has obvious ill-intentioned questions
At first, she did not want to finu awer it as this was for work
the questions he asked were beyond the scope of a normal intervies. Not only that, he did not respect her fans
she did not want to be nice to ham anymore as she triorted coldly, "Whatsloes that

modo with you! No one said that n't wear a mink when
"Of course " Zavn nodded and continued. "But since you dare to participate in this competition, why can't you show your fare openlyin
i scheming look flashed across his eyes as he added. "Siner you're so riled up, did I guess correctly! Do you really refuse to take off your i became you're the ugly and don't dare to show your true fage to others?" ukasa
Before Audrey could reply, her vision suddenly turned dark as a figure pounced on her.
who pushed me!" A voice sounded as someone
as someone pretended,
In the next second, Audrey's exquisite mask fell to the ground, revealing her perfect facial features.
Her face was fair and she was clearly not wearing any makeup. Besides that, she had well-defined facial features, and her eyes were clear and charming. She exuded a cold yet gentle aura and she looked extremely elegant. At this
moment, the same thought crossed everyone's minds
How was this an ugly woman' She was clearly a goddess"
Someone exclaimed. "Oh my god, she's so beautiful. From today onwards. I'm her die-hard fan"
Another agreed, "Me too!"
Someone ehr praised, "I think she's even more beautiful than the celebrities in the entertainment industry. Oh my god, she's killing me!"
Another person chuckled as they said, "Don't say that, you're going to astract haters. We all know it deep in our hearts anyway?
The smile on Eliza's face froze when she heard the fans discussion
She thought, What Audie is prettier than a celebrity? That's impossible! If she was really that beautiful, why didn't she dare to turn on the camera!
However, when she looked up in doubt, a familiar face greeted her.
"Audrey Rhodes! How could it be you?" she blurted.
She had never expected that Audie, who had stolen her limelight twice, would actually be Audrey!
Hatred for both Audie and Audrey surged in her heart. Her face completely darkened as she gritted her teeth and said. "Why are you so annoying? You've already snatched away more than 20 years of my life and my face. Why won't you just give up......... Hearing that, someone remarked, "Damn, what a shocking news?
Another added, "Snatching her life and her fiance? What a dramatic story!"
Someone else commented, "Oh my, it's even more exciting than a television drama?
Eliza smiled smugly as she listened to the discussion of the people around her.
"Very good, she thought. This was the
was the effect she had wanted.
She wanted to expose Audrey's true colors in front of everyone.
Most importantly, she wanted to let the production tram know which content creator they should support the most.
She fared her chin arrogantly and pointed at Audrey before speaking loudly. "If a person like you becomes an idol, who knows how many innocent children will be mfluenced by your immoral values in the future? If the production team still insists on defending your today, I really have to suspect that there's something shameful going on behind.
Before she could finish her words, the crisp sound of a slap reverberated.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"Miss Harper, this is the premiere of the production team of Supergalactic Idol. It's not a place for you to spread rumors and cause trouble." Kirran stood in front of Audrey, as he spoke on her behalf.
Eliza's expression turned even uglier as she retorted bluntly. "Mr. Patel, you seem to be in such a hurry to stand up for her. Did she give you any benefits, or."
Kieran quickly interrupted, "Shut up! If you continue to hinder the operations of the production team, we will immediately disquality you as a
If not for the fact that Eliza had some relationship with the assistant director,

His face was tense, and his tone was unprecedentedly cold.
Eliza immediately shut up when she heard that,
Although she was a little dissatisfied with Kieran's bias towards Audrey, she did not alare to go against him head-on.
After all, she had paid a considerable price in order to participate in this show.
She could not let everything go to waste at this moment!
thought, Forget it, I swallow this anger first and then destroy Audrey on stage later
After she regained her composure, she snorted coldly at Audrey before turning to enter the recording studio

4 did not waver in the face of the cold stares and disregard from the guests.
She had come to participate in the show to earn money, not to make friends.
With this thought in mind, she walked over indifferently and prepared to find a seat to sit down
However, as soon as she sat down the two guests who were originally sitting in the same row as her stood up.

t this moment, she stood up and bowed like a peacock. She held the microphone as she put on a proper and humble smile and spoke gently.
"Hello everyone, my name is Eliza Harper. I'm a content creator
She paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "It's my honor to be here to participate in this show with all the other seniors. I will definitely work hard and learn more from everyone. Also, I would like to apologize to everyone here for causing trouble outside earlier." She then lowed again and added. "I hope you won't be biased against me. I'm actually very easy to get along with. I hope that everyone can get aling well in the following days!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Audrey was instantly pushed to the center of attention.

She did not take Eliza's p

Besides, she also felt that there was no need for her to explain anything to the people present
The cool girl stood up after Audrey had sat down.
"Leila Palmer," she simply said.
There was no expression on her face and she did not even
However, there was no need for her to go into details....
even bother to introduce which company
y she was from
As soon as she announced her name, many people felt that it was like thunder resounding in their ears!
Someone exclaimed. "Leila Palmer? Oh my god, I can't believe she's actually participating in this show. With such a big shot from the singing and dancing world, what are we still competing for? Let's just pack up and go home now!" Someone else asked. "Who is she? Is she famous?"
Another person explained, "You don't even know her? It's Leila Palmer. The girl who debuted as the center o the age of 16. She sings and dances well and is extremely talented in rap. She's simply the chosen one of the
most famous girl group in Halla at
After that, another question sounded, "Oh my god, she's so amazing. Then why did she join this show?"
One guest replied. "I don't know, I heard that she left the industry previously."
Another guest explained, "She didn't leave the industry. She just left the group and returned here to develop her career. However, after she returned, she suddenly disappeared for a period of time. Some people said that she offended a big shot and was banned while others said that the.. went home to inherit a large fortune. Anyway, there are many rumors about her. No one knows if they're true. I didn't expect to see her in person here today!
Hearing that, someone else said, "I can't believe the production team actually invited her over. They've really invested a lot in this show."
Another person added, "With her ability, she's skilled enough to be a teacher to everyone here."
Discussions rose and fell, but it was as though it had nothing to do with Leila as she was not affected at all.
Audrey was somewhat impressed and could not help but take a few more glances at her.
She thought, "She's such a talented big shot but yet she's not arrogant at all!
She liked Leilat
However, no matter how much she liked such a legendary figure, she would not initiate contact with her.
Soon after, the self-introduction segment ended quickly.
The host then went on stage and announced, "Now that our self-introduction segment has ended, it's time to form your teams. The production team has invited a total of 30 guests. Out of the 30 guests, six captains have been chosen according to each person's overall skills. The six captains
are Quum Miller, Rachel Moore, Jingle, Helena Fond Rayon Quinlan, and Velimia Sheare"
soon as the host finished speaking, many people looked at Leila in surprise.
Everyone thought. She's so skilled, yet she wasn't one of the captains.
The host seemed to have noticed everyone's doubts and took the initiative to explain, "Everyone, please rest assured that all the captains chosen are voluntary. There's nothing biased behind it."
In other words, Leila did not want to be a captain.
Everyone understood.
The host continued. "The six captains have to choose the team members they want but the chosen team members can also refuse so both parties must be in agreement. Just a friendly reminder. When choosing a team member, the captains should discuss with the rest of the team and coordinate the distribution of members who are good at singing and dancing in the team. Only then can you show the best performances to the"
greatest extent
The guests nodded in understanding and could not wait to discuss which team they wanted to join.
soon, people started approaching the first two team leaders in hopes of getting selected.
Quinn and Rachel picked their teammates very quickly.
However, the two of them licitly skipped Audrey
After all, one needed skills to perform on stage.
Both of them assumed that content creators like Audrey probably only got to participate in this show due to their connections.
They felt that it would be bad for their teams if she has no skills.
Chapter 176
During the selection of teammates, the guests who were famous scoffed at Audrey.
This she caused Audrey to miss two rounds in a row at nobody wanted to choose her.
In the third round, it was Jingle x turn to choose her teammate.
Elura was the first to stand up and recerumiend himself. "Jingle, you can choose me. We're both singers who mover songs. 111 learn from you?" Jingle hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she nodded good naturedly and agreed. "Alright, welcome to my team?
Since she chose Eliza, it naturally meant that she had to give up on Audrey
After all, no one had the guts to put the two of them on the same team. It would be too chan pass on Audrey
fight broke out. All the captains continued to
When it was time for the fourth round of selection, Helena ignored Audrey and extended an invitation to Leila, who was beside Audrey
She asked. "Leths, are you interested I in joining my tean
Several teams before Helena had also invited Leila, but Leila had rejected all of them.
Everyone thought that she was waiting to join Helena's group.
Alter all. Helena was famous. She would definitely have the most screen time during the live broadcast. It would be easier to get more screen time if she was in the same team as Helena.
But before Leila could give her reply, Raryan stood up anxiously and said, "Wait a minute, Helena. I also want Leila to join my team. Why don't we discuss this
Everyone thought. It's here, it's finally here. The most exciting part is here!
For a moment, the guests who were still considering which team to go to quietened down and waited to watch this unfold.
Everyone thought that Kaeyon was very daring. She only got famous and gained many fans due to her red carpets, but yet she dared to snatch from
her senior.
Helena's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and replied calmly, "That depends on whose team Leila wants to
Hearing that, Rayon smiled and promised, "Leila, as long as you join our team, I can give you the position of team captain. I'll listen to your instructions for all the arrangements in the team. How about that?"
Helena immediately interrupted, "Racyon, your conditions aren't good enough. Leila clearly doesn't want to be the captain." She then turned to Leil and offered. Leila, as long as you come to my team, I'll let you stand in the center of the stage. You can also decide the style and song of the performance!
Helena thought, 'Leila should not be able to reject this offer, right?"
The atmosphere around them was instantly filled with sparks.
Everyone turned to Leila.
On the other hand, Leila looked at Audrey and said calmly, "Audie hasn't joined a team yet."
Helena and Rayon were both taken aback when they heard that
They thought, "What did Leila mean? Is she asking us to choose Audie?"
Rayon reacted quickly and said. "Audie is a singer who's known for her song covers. However, I already have another singer in my team. We can work together next time if there's a chance."
Helena immediately followed, "I don't need a singer in my team
my team either. Leila,
1,1 have reserved the position of lead singer for you!"
There was no doubt that both of them did not want Audrey in their teams.
Helena prided herself on being pure and classy. She felt that a content creator like Audie was not worthy of being associated with her.
On the other hand, Racyon was purely jealous of others saying that Audig was prettier than her!
Leila raised her eyebrows and crossed her legs. She then announced unhappily. "I'll go wherever Audie goes
Both Helena and Karyon were rendered speeddess
They thought. Was there something wrong with Leib's brain! Couldn't she see that everyone despised Audie? How can she want to tie herself to Audic? Does the want to be tied to Audie because she is trending due to her controversy! How short-sighted. They had just rejected Audrey, so it was
was obviomly impossible for them to invite Audrey to join their teams just because of Leila's words.
They could not bring themselves to do this, so they simply gave up on Leila and chose other guests.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Leila had offended two people at once so they all looked at her sympathetically-
Audrey also looked at her in surprise and said softly. "You don't have to do this for me?
"It's okay" Leila shook her head gently, as if she really didn't care about offending about which team you want to go to?"
ing the others at all. She only asked with concern, "Have you though!
Audrey frowned slightly.
She could not go to the fourth and fifth teams whose captains were Helena and Racyon respectively
The first two teams were already full, and Eliza was already in the third team.
As a result, only the sixth team was left
Audrey looked at Yelimia, who had been standing behind the crowd.
she announced. "I'll go to the sixth team. Will you accept me, Yelimia?"
"Welcome" Yelimia glanced at her indifferently and nodded.
Yelimia had always been indifferent to everything.
Hearing that, Leila said, "Then I go to the sixth team too"
Helena and Rayon Tought but Velimia was the one who benefited from it
For a moment, Yelimia was both happy and worried. She was naturally happy to have Leila as her trump card. However, Audie's skills made her a little worried.
As far as she knew, many content creators relied on lip-syncing to attract attention.
she thought, "Audie wouldn't be a burden to our team, right?"

While everyone was vying to show off, Audrey Rhodes avoided the cameras and slipped away to a corner to send a message to Alistair Hayes. [1 have boot camp over the next three days. Help me put Sunny to bed at night. If you don't know any bedtime stories, you can search online I
When Alistair received the message, he was
was somewhat displeased
They had been separated for nearly five hours yet his wife didn't say that she missed him at all. All she was thinking of was that little heat
He felt a little jealous and he made no attempt to conceal how he felt in the voice message he sent in reply. [Honey, I can't sleep when I'm alone at night]
The voice message that was received by Audrey was a little distorted. She had to turn the volume down and press the phone very close to her ear before she could make out what Alistair said.
She rubbed her earlobe with some bemusement. Then she typed out a reply.[Didn't you always sleep alone in the past?]
Alistair could tell that it was inconvenient for Audrey to talk on the phone so he also switched to texting [That was in the past. After I met you, I couldn't sleep alone. After that, he ended the message with a pleading face emoticon.
Almost by instinct. Audrey overlaid this emoticon expression on Alistair's flawlessly handsome face and she burst out laughing at the mental
image.
Leila Palmer was walking toward Audrey at this juncture and caught this unusual sight. Curious to know why the latter was laughing so gleefully, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to placate my husband Audrey blurted out without thinking
Her reply made Leila raise one eyebrow in surprise. Were her ears playing tricks on her?
A highly driven and successful business magnate like Alistair Hayes still needed placating by his wife? It seemed that this guy knew how to manipulate his woman. All those women who were trying to catch Alistair's eye could give up now. Audrey assumed that Leila was surprised because she was not aware that Audrey was married.
She simply put away her phone without further explanation and asked, "Are you looking for me?
Leila put aside her thoughts and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, the production team has assigned a place for us to rest and rehearse. The five of us will be staying in the same building. The girls have already gone there to choose their rooms. Let's go too." "Sure! Thanks for letting me know" Audrey smiled.
rushed to their assigned accommodation, Audrey sent another message to Alistair. I'm gonna be busy here. I'll text you again
As the two of them n when I'm free-
After informing him, Audrey did not wait for his reply before turning off her phone to focus on her training
When the two of them reached Group Six's accommodation, they found two other members. Paula and Yulia, sitting in the living room.
Paula Pratt was a little-known actress. Although she had some bit parts in a few productions, she was a relative unknown in the entertainment
industry
On the other hand, Yulia Judd was an opera singer. Although the public might not know her well, she was a heavyweight in the opera world.
at this moment, both Paula and Yulia were curled up ghumly on the sofa with a cushion each.
Audrey was the first to ask then. "What's going on?"
Paula glanced at her but did not reply but Yulia sighed and said with some displeasure. "Well, our Ms. Sheare is throwing a tantrum"
Yulia was outspoken but very self-confident. When she wanted to diss anyone, she could be merciless. The focus of this show is singing. I don't know why she wants to act all high and mighty and insists on dancing during the first stage. She doesn't want to perform singing at all.
kes to dance so much, why doesn't she participate in Dance Dance Champ instead? Why is she here to crowd the rest of us out?"
Dance Dance Champ was another popular reality competition show.
Audrey was speechless. They hadn't even started rehearsing but they were already at loggerheads with one another?

Paula pently kicked Yulia and advised her affihly, "Keep ynir voice down. If Mr. Shene hears you, we'll end up arguing again.
After saying that, she turned to the camera on the wall with an apologetic look. "Please delete this part
Yulia punched the cushion sullenly and sand grindeingly. "So what should we do not? As the team leader, she has no sense of responsibility at allt if she doesn't want to sing the can just quit The clock has already stined ticking. We cant put an ally and do nothing, can we?
Puola was also displeased that Yelimia Shcare was being difficult, but since pruler of them was as famosi ar Velima, then womba ilid not carry much wright Morrower, they had already quarreled with Velimia nnor just now.

"At the very least, she has to be willing to communicate withcus onherwise, we won't be able in present anything during the first stage"
Yulia also chimed in, "Yeah, she definitely listen to you?"
Leila did not say anything after listening to them. She sat down on the sofaand crossed her legs before uying unhurriedly. "Im not doing
When Valia saw how apathetic Leila was, she became worked up again and blurted out, "Why not? We're all in the ume group now. If you don't persuade Velimia to come down and tram with in, how are we going to perform during the first stage=" Leila rassed her eyebrows haughtily and answered in an icy lone, "You're the ones who offended her. Why should I be the one to clean lap your mess? Anyway, it makes na difference to me what you girls perform during the first stage"
Vulix knew a line about Leila's temperament. Leila was a person who did things her own way and was not easy to get along with, but Yulu did not expect her to be so unreasonable.
This was a maner that concerned the entire team, yei

However, Leila rould afford to remain unconcerned because even if she did not train, she could still win it she went up alone with an improved
This thought made Tulsa quite annoyed. She was truly unlucky to have ended up in such a group
Yelimia was haughty, Leita was aloof, and Paula was so timid that she did not even dare to speak loudly. As for Audrey Rhodes, she was the worst of the lot. She was only a short video blogger...
Yulia didn't know how on earth Audrey got selected. At this rate, her Group Six would probably be eliminated in the Erst round.
At the thought of this Yulia became even more frustrated. She settled more deeply into the sofa and grumbled glumly. "Fine I won't care anymore either. You girls can do whatever you want."
y had not said a word thus far. Paula was at a loss and looked at her in despair.
Audrey
She gently shook Audrey's arm and said pitifully. "Audie, why don't you help us persuade Ms. Shearet Shes the team leader and if she doesn't show up, there's no way for us to rehearse. Can you hear that? The other groups are already doing vocal warm-ups. We don't want to fall too far behind. other, do wel
"Moreover, since we are here to participate in the contest, if we do it half-heartedly during the first stage, we will get scolded? You dont wait to disappoint all your hopeful fans, do you?"
Audrey still kept quiet. She was not familiar with Yelmia either, Unless she could find some common ground, it would probably be very difficult to get Yelimia down...
When Leila saw that Audrey seemed to be in a dilemma, she turned to Paula irritably, "Why are you bothering Audic with the trouble you two caused! Go persuade Yelimia to come down by yourself"
Yalia immediately reiniteil. "Leila, how can you stop others from mediating when you yourself refused to go and talk to her! If this is how you want things to be done, then let's just disband right now. What's the point of competing anymore!"
Leila suddenly stood up. "Fine. Let's disband. Do you think I care?"
Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control agam Audrey quickly separated the two girls. "Alright, stop arguing, I try to talk to Yelimia
and Yulia brightened up
at once upots hearing that. However, Leila objected. "Audie, you don't need to lower yourself to that level"

In any case, even if no one talked to Yelimis, she wouldn't remain angry for long. The comes was still ongoing, and that woman wasn't stupid. If the whole tram got delayed during the first stage because of her, she would receive a vicious rubbing by the viewers.

Many viewers were debating which contestant was right or wrong in the comments section. Most people felt that Leila was too arrogant
ser, Leila's fans were not about to let other people trash-talk their idol. For a while, flaming wars dominated the comments section.
When it was finally confirmed who was going to talk to Yelimia, everyone's attention turned to the hapless team member who had to play estimating herself.

She knew in her heart that she should put an end to this impasse. However, she was very unwilling to relent so easily
However, Audrey did not have so much patience. She told Yelinia outright, "We haven't decided wh sill be the lead singer. Your voice is so good Why don't you be the lead singer

"Sosce we're fated to be in the same group, let's make good use of everyone's strengths. We can't only think of ourselves, can we?"
Yelmia became displeased again and retorted, "Who says I only think of myself? I've also taken all of you into consideration. I can personally teach all of you how to dance!"
Audrey reasoned. "You became a national-level dancer after learning dancing for many years. If we can reach your level in just 72 hours, wouldn't that make us even more talented than geniuses?"
Velimia had no words to rebut Audrey. Her dance choreographies were usually difficult and it was indeed too much to expect these amateurs to pull
Previously, it was Yulia Judd who kept arguing back relentlessly which infuriated her. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be so

Audrey figured she had turned the tables now and decided to wrap things up. "Let's go downstairs. If there are any problems, we can work them out together" Yelimia nodded reluctantly.
The people downstairs also heard the ruckus upstairs. Paula and Yulia got a shock when they heard the door slamming so loudly.
"Don't tell me they started fighting?" Yulia whispered.
"Should we go up and take a look?" Paula asked worriedly.

Paula was puzzled and asked tentatively, "Leila, at Audir fails, you do have other ways, don't you?" Otherwise, how could she be so calm?
Inwardly, Padda did not believe that Audrey could convince Yelania to come down. When she heard the sound of the door slamming upstairs, she was even more certain that Audrey had messed up
Since she did not have much hope in Audrey, she could only pin her hopes on Leila in clean up the mess
Leila saw through the two girls thoughts and gave a scornful snort. "Don't count on me. I won't do anything"
Upon hearing this, P'aula and Valia could not help feeling a little disappointed. Their resentment towards Leila increased.
Leila gave another snort and added casually, "Why are you so dejected! Audie might be able to pull it off" When she brand that, Yulia asked uncertainly, "Why do you trust. Auide sa mnich? Are you two acquainted?"
Leila shook her head and answered, "I didn't know her before this contest. I just believe in my judgment of people!
Yulia stared at Leila in disbelief, Initially, she thought that she could dig something out of Leila. To her surprise, Leila and Audrey were genuinely macquainted with each other before this contest.
Hat why did Leila have so much trust in a short video blogger she had never met, so much so that she even insisted on teaming
ng up with her?
Yulia wanted to ask further but was distracted by some sounds from the stairs not far away. She raised her head and saw Audrey and Yelimia Both Yulia and Paula were so astonished that their eyes almost popped out. Audie managed to convince that difficult woman?
Leila seemed to have expected this outcome. She asked matter-of-factly, "Can we discuss our program now?"
Yelimia walked down the stairs, and said haughtily, "I still think that adding a special dance segment to a singing program will attract more attention"
Although it was supposed to be a discussion, her no-namseme tone made it sound like she was merely informing the rest of her decision
Paula and Yulia exchanged helpless glances. "See! Even if she has been persuaded to come down, she still refuses to compromise. After wasting so mach time, she is still stubbor

came to worst, they could only compromise..
Just av Paula was about to accept Yelinus's proposal, Audrey interjected, "I have a better idea that combines the opinions of both sides."
As soon as she said this, Paula and Yulia cast her a scornful look. How could a bayman like her come up with a better idea?
In contrast, Leila was very interested and asked excitedly,"
1. ly. "What idea!"
Audrey explained, "We have both singers and dancers. Why don't we combine the two groups into one program?"
Upon hearing this, Yelimia was the first to object. She asked icily. "What do you mean! Do you want me to be a background dancer?"
She was a national-level dinner. How could she perform av a background dancer to a few unknowns during the first staget
Esen a more famous singer-dancer like Leila Palmer was not qualified to make such a request.
Audrey tried to reassure her and said softly, "Calm down, Ms. Sheare. I didn't say you are to perform as a background dancer. We're all working Ingeller. You can continue to dance. We will provide the music accompaniment for you according in your dance choreography. We can even interweave the dancing and singing at the clima.
"For the training, you can trac some basic dance moves while we teach you to sing. Why don't we work together to present our programi to showcase the liest of our lities? Hence, those who wanted to sing could sing, and those who wanted to dance could dance.
Veluta finially calmed down. Although Audrey was only an insignificant internet celebrity, the suggestion she gave seemed sound
She had looked down on Audrey at first, but now, her opinion had a hanged. Yet at the same tiine, she felt that it was a pity.
No matter how capable Audrey was, it was impossible for her to go furthe
