Yumi was stunned by Whitney’s words. “So what you’re saying is that our rankings are actually abnormal. This is a serious accusation… Do you have any evidence?”
Yumi didn’t expect Whitney to be so open and honest. She did not know what to say.
“Haha! Actually, I wasn’t 100% sure at first, so the answer was ‘no’ after I went home. But now that I see your reaction, I feel that my guess isn’t wrong at all. I’ve always wondered if the results I get every time I participate in a competition are really what I see, but out of pride, I found it difficult to accept such things.” Whitney’s eyes revealed her frustration. “I know my mother better than you do, so you have to be careful. After all, the outcome of this casting selection might…”
Before Whitney could finish, Yumi rushed over and hugged her. “I’m very happy. Thank you so much for being so open with me, Whitney. To be honest, I don’t have many friends. Being chosen by everyone to participate in the casting selection is a special experience. You and Sharon are like the moon to me—the two of you are so bright and shining. No matter what others say, you two are still hanging there, shining!”
Whitney blushed at Yumi’s words and quickly interrupted her. “You brat, don’t talk nonsense. It’s forbidden to drug me before the competition, but I’m afraid it will be more difficult for Sharon than it is for us.”
“Sharon… Is her identity very sensitive? I saw Gabriel call her away just now.”
“Their relationship…” Whitney sighed silently. “When she comes back, you should ask her yourself. To be honest, I don’t know what decision she will make.”
After saying that, they walked out of the room together, and Sharon was already waiting there.
“Sharon…” Yumi couldn’t wait to speak. If she keeps this kind of thing in her heart, it will definitely affect the stage.
“Just now, East Royal’s people called me over and wanted to sign a contract with me, but I refused. After all, I’m old and have a family; there’s no need to find such a big company. I’ll tell you the details after the competition ends. If we go to the last public performance together now… Who knows, the three of us might be able to take over everything!”
When Yumi and Whitney saw Sharon’s relaxed expression, their nervousness finally eased. Everything can be discussed after the competition!
“Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the casting selection’s final round. As most of the contestants leave, we welcome the final moment of the competition. I can’t bear to think about it.”
The camera turned to the audience. Gabriel was sitting there, looking serious.
“Before this round, we announced the competition details to the five contestants. Tonight, everyone will give us the answers using the stage that you personally designed.”
As he spoke, a line of words appeared on the stage screen—”Sing and bring out your best voice.”
“First of all, let us welcome the five judges to the stage—” After introducing the judges, Leomond started the performance.
“As expected, it’s the finals. There’s even a warm-up performance by the judges. This lineup is really not small. Whitney, Teacher Leomond is singing his famous song!” Melinda interacted with Whitney affectionately. Both of them were fans of Leomond, so they were naturally willing to watch him perform.
“Yes, he’s indeed very pertinent and has his own style.” Whitney seemed to be thinking about something as she looked up calmly. She looked completely different from her usual enthusiastic interaction.
Melinda even felt that Whitney’s reaction was much colder than she had imagined.
“Sharon, how are your preparations?” Xenia walked up to Sharon, her tone gloating.
“I don’t have any confidence at all. Fortunately, I’ll be the last one. My stage preparation was a little late.” Sharon also replied to Xenia casually. At this critical moment, she didn’t think Xenia could do anything else.
She didn’t notice that Xenia’s wide skirt directly blocked the place where she placed the eyedrops.
“It seems to be starting soon. I’m so nervous…” Yumi walked out in a white dress.
“Uh…” Sharon looked at her friend seriously, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her. “Little Yumi, isn’t your style too simple? Will this not match your choice of song, or is there something else about your stage design?”
“Hehe, this is my secret.” Yumi pointed at Sharon.
“Good for you! You even learned to be mysterious. You’ve changed; you’re no longer my innocent and harmless little Ioli.” Whitney restrained her thoughts and leaned over..
