Chapter 161
Quiana’s lazy voice cut through the air, making the few people around her pause in surprise. They almost couldn’t hold back their laughter. Quiana carrying them? Dream on they thought.
“Do you really think just because you danced well and sang well before, you’ll win the stage too?”
“You’d better take care of yourself. Don’t end up with the lowest votes, two girls muttered under their breath, their voices tinged with sarcasmi
Quiana stretched her arms, her gaze sweeping over them. She tilted her head slightly, her exquisite eyebrows and eyes exuding a rebellious charm. “Anyone else wants to switch with me?“
Wendy frowned. “Quiana?”
They had practiced for days. Switching two lines might work, but relearning everything with just one day left? No way Quiana could manage that. How is she supposed to do this? Wendy thought, worried.
“You… Wendy said.
“It’s fine.” Quiana replied, her tone dismissive yet calm.
Quiana still smiled lightly. If it weren’t for the coldness that radiated from her very core, making it impossible to ignore, one might think she was easy to bully. The others remained silent. No one else wanted to switch.
After all, as Wendy said, they had practiced for days. Suddenly changing everything with only one day left–no one had a sure thing. No one wanted to be eliminated in the first round, especially when their parts had standout moments.
sections originally belonging to Teresa and Yvette were indeed the most challenging parts of the song. After the switch, the group went through the routine again, without calling Quiana.
Yvette and Teresa sang and danced the parts that were originally Quiana’s, performing them with exceptional familiarity and a hint of smug satisfaction in their eyes. It was hard to believe they hadn’t done it on purpose.
Wendy’s eyes grew cold, and she sat down next to Quiana. “You could have refused.”
“It’s fine. Quiana said, her eyes scanning the new sheet music with a nonchalant air.
Wendy frowned. “But you. Even with her talent, those high–difficulty moves with just one day left. ‘Wendy thought. worried.
Quiana turned her head, her eyes impossibly beautiful, exuding a wild and free spirit. Her demeanor was cool and distant, giving her an ethereal aura.
Her clear, bright eyes held a hint of mischief, and her smile carried a touch of defiance and brightness. “Don’t worry. I said I’d carry you, and I will”
Her tone was six parts rebellious and four parts wild. Her eyes tilted upward at the corners, were captivating, and exuded a mix of charisma and pride. She was both bold and defiant.
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat. Over these past few days, she had noticed that although Quiana seemed to exude an aura that suggested she wasn’t someone to mess with, in reality, she was quite polite.
Whatever Wendy gave her, Quiana would take it. She was obedient. But Quiana didn’t look like the type who would be obedient at all,’ Wendy thought. Seeing her like this, Wendy wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.
“Come on,” she stood up and clapped her hands, “let’s go through the entire process.”

Quiana narrowed her eyes, looking at the sheet music that had been replaced in her hand. She clicked her tongue, stood up, and walked over slowly, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
With the 48–hour countdown underway, everyone was on edge. That night, almost no one could sleep. Except for Quiana At exactly ten o’clock, she went to bed on time.
Sarah muttered softly, “How can she sleep so soundly!
Joyce pursed her lips. “Maybe she doesn’t care about the outcome.
Even if they were confident that they could make it through the first round, this was still their first proper stage performance. They were excited, nervous, and thrilled.
