Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Close-up of Mistakes
Indeed, the sudden display of firmness by someone usually perceived as gentle can create quite a startling contrast.
Even a cornered rabbit will bite.
Not only was Reese Shaw face to face, but the viewers of the live-stream also sensed this change.
— So is Violet Lee really Reese’s mentor?
— As expected, professionals know better. "Broken Mirror", my favorite song, is perfect for breakup listening. The song’s meaning is about moving on from the past, it has nothing to do with being soft, okay?
— Reese is probably just trying to praise Tiffany Lynch, I heard she has intentions to sign with "Prideful".
— We all get it, but couldn’t Mentor Violet phrase it a bit more tactfully? Reese’s expression has changed.
— Wasn’t Mentor Violet gentle enough before? She was forced into this state. From the behind-the-scenes, there weren’t many trainees present during her lessons which is quite disheartening to see.
— Violet has always been pushing for Hannah Winter to be the main focus, looking at it now, her viewpoint makes sense. If it were Hannah, the effect would have been even better.
— So was Hannah’s team switch also rigged?
Reese looked at the comments on the screen, her face was turning green with envy. She had initially calculated that Violet Lee was non-confrontational, which is why she dared to act so brazenly on camera, who would’ve thought that Violet was now being so pushy.
This transformation was so sudden, it caught her off guard.
Yet right from the start, Violet had placed herself as Reese’s mentor, and in front of the camera, Reese naturally couldn’t refute her teacher’s words.
All she could do was endure it.
The performance on-stage was nearing its end.
The final movement was somewhat tricky, requiring several people’s cooperation to execute.
Tiffany Lynch was in the middle, visibly tired and slightly flushed, with smeared makeup, hurriedly moving towards the center.
As it happened, May Hoffman was right in front of her, but instead of passing by each other, May’s misstep led to a direct collision.
There was an audible gasp from backstage, caught off guard.
The production team was ruthless, zooming in multiple times on the mistake, leaving no room for ignorance.
As it happened, Tiffany Lynch, accustomed to her superior demeanor, and having an Eldest Miss attitude, knew that May Hoffman was deliberately opposing her, she did not plan to endure it and stepped on her outright.
Both of them stumbled over some stage props.
Whispers burst out from the audience, and the live-stream fell momentarily silent.
Tiffany Lynch never expected May to go to such lengths, framing her with a fake fall.
Still, in the end, everyone managed to complete the dance.
When interviewed after the performance, Tiffany Lynch had not yet calmed down from her anger. Perhaps it was due to her fans’ continual adulation and praise of her as the "Miss of the World" that had truly brought out her aloof and arrogant attitude.
Throughout the interview, Tiffany had a cold expression, appearing superior and aloof.
She and May stood in the middle but it could be said there was a gap the size of a person between them.
When it was May’s turn to respond, Tiffany turned away without giving her a single glance.
May, on the other hand, acted with impressive grace, even wiping a tear from her eye, "I feel really sorry for my teammates because it indeed was my mistake on stage... I am truly sorry."
As May spoke, she rose to bow to everyone. Although her teammates were uncomfortable, they comforted her a little to avoid being labeled as cold-hearted by netizens.
The camera shifted back to Tiffany Lynch and the host asked her opinion.
