Looking at Anna’s raised hand, Mr. Xander sighed. “You attacked when you couldn’t win against others. Why didn’t I know you were so aggressive?”
“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Xander. I-I didn’t want to hit her…” Anna realized how ugly her face was and quickly defended herself.
“What a good show.” Xenia sneered. This idiot actually did such a thing at such an important moment. I don’t know what to say.
“Mr. Xander, I believe in Yumi.” The contestant named Cassie—who had been looking at Anna just now—said bluntly, “Even you have such a day, Anna! I believe in Yumi because this isn’t the first time Anna has done such a thing!”
“The two of us have known each other since the regional competition. At that time, I didn’t have a good relationship with the other contestants, so they collectively isolated and bullied me. Anna was the only one who was willing to approach me. We sang and performed together. She even often comforted me and asked me to tell her everything that made me unhappy. However, my situation in the regional competition didn’t ease at all. In fact, my life became worse.”
Cassie walked over to Anna. “I didn’t expect to face her in the third round of advancement. Because of the pressure, I couldn’t be bothered to go back to my dorm at night, so I just rested outside. I didn’t expect to hear something I shouldn’t have before the competition.”
Cassie took out her phone. Several different girls’ voices were playing, including Anna’s.
“What? Why is she talking bad about me behind my back again?! Is there something wrong with Cassie’s brain?”
“That’s right. She has a lot of opinions about you guys. She tells me why you guys are bad and how you bully her…”
“I only knew then that I had ended up in this state because I was a good friend. Anna did this behind my back. That was the time I entered the waiting area, and she successfully advanced. The next day, this woman came to comfort me as if nothing had happened. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time; I’ve always wanted to play it for everyone to hear. Now that there’s finally a chance, do you need me to release it all?”
“No!” Anna grabbed Cassie’s hand. “Please, don’t. I wanted to be on your side, but I was worried they’d bully me… I was forced!”
“Don’t touch her. You’re really disgusting!” Selena pushed Anna away. I didn’t expect her to be like this. Although I’m very dishonest, I wouldn ‘t do such a thing behind people’s backs.
“Then, did someone force you to bully Yumi?” Cassie asked. “At first, I didn’t believe that you had such deep malice toward everyone, but when I saw Yumi, I suddenly understood that the person you attacked was actually the same type as you. The only reason you did this was to eliminate the same persona as you. For this purpose, you will do anything. Am I right?!”
Anna slowly lowered her hands. How could this be? It shouldn’t be like this. They were clearly bullied but didn’t dare to resist… But now, everyone is on their side… What is going on? I still have to rely on the show to gain popularity. Why… Why is this happening now?
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry! I really know I’m wrong, and I won’t dare to do it again! Yumi’s matter really has nothing to do with me. I’ll try my best to clean it up and care more about my friends in the future. I won’t gossip about others behind their backs…”
“I have a question.” A girl who had been watching said suddenly, “How did Anna get the room card to Yumi’s room?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Sharon also looked at the mirror. Although she felt that Yumi wasn’t in the wrong, this simple and crude bullying method didn’t seem like something Anna would do.
“I’m afraid you haven’t handed over the secondary card to the production team yet, right?” Mr. Xander suddenly remarked. Previously, Anna had said that her good friend Yumi was under a lot ofpressure and had been unwilling to go out, so she had asked the production team for a secondary card. This seems to confirm her bullying nature.
Although this matter quickly calmed down and everyone continued to train, they didn’t have time to investigate what had happened yesterday. Sharon still vaguely felt that something was wrong—they had overlooked a very important point..
