Chapter 200
The interview was scheduled for the afternoon and was held in the same venue where the trainees had first entered the camp. The invited interviewers sat in tiered seating, holding microphones and question cards. The interviews began with
the Grade F trainees.
One by one, the trainees entered, facing the interviewers‘ curious and probing questions. Some appeared nervous, while others remained composed, each responding differently. Several mentors sat together in the backstage control room, discussing and evaluating the trainees‘ performances.
A group of girls sat together in the waiting room, chatting nervously.
Quiana leaned against the wall with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. Yoselin, noticing that she was not asleep, smiled and asked, “Quiana, aren’t you nervous?”
Without opening her eyes, Quiana calmly replied, “Why should I be nervous?”
“True,” Yoselin replied with a playful smile, tucking her hair behind her ear. She added, “After all, you held a press conference under a bridge before. You didn’t even flinch in front of all those reporters.”
Yoselin had watched the press conference that had been trending on various platforms for two days. Quiana had barely spoken ten sentences, while Quinn and Daniel had handled most of the answers.
“But today, no one will save her or cover for her. Why is she so high and mighty?” Viola scoffed, sitting in front.
“If I ranked first, I would also act high and mighty. So what if she ranked first in the first public vote? Let’s see if she can keep getting the top votes,” Jessica muttered with a chuckle.
“That requires fans voting for her,” someone said.
“Does Quiana even lack fans?” another scoffed.
“Well, she definitely doesn’t lack anti–fans, does she?” a girl commented.
“Hahaha- A few girls laughed sarcastically.
Mucy listened, her eyes filled with disdain.
Sofia frowned, about to say something, but Wendy stopped her and whispered, “Don’t argue with them. It’s pointless.”
The group was simply jealous of Quiana.
Quiana did not respond, but she opened her eyes, her gaze completely devoid of warmth.
Over 70 people were interviewed, some with many questions, others with none. The interviews lasted one or two hours before they reached the Grade A group.
Only five people made up the Grade A group. After the first public vote, the rankings were Quiana, Lucy, Yoselin, Sarah, and Joyce, while the others were dropped.
Joyce and Sarah answered with poise, and Yoselin was sweet and charming, earning positive feedback.
Lucy was second to last. A reporter in the front row began interviewing, “As a Star Entertainment artist who was part of a girl group and is now a solo artist, your skills and resources are unmatched. Why join Miracle Show?”
Lucy smiled slightly and replied, “You can’t stay in one place forever, nor can you rely solely on what you already have. I want to be remembered for my own efforts and abilities, not just as another Star Entertainment artist.”

“Wow! Look at that response,” someone said.
“She’s amazing!” another commented.
The reporter’s question was sharp, but Lucy’s answer was watertight. Many people stood up and applauded, especially Viola’s
group.
Backstage, Jocelyn nodded approvingly and remarked, “Her mindset has steadied.”
Eric frowned but said nothing. Ryan, with his messy blonde hair, furrowed his brows, sensing that something was off. Although the production team had decided on the interview sequence, placing Quiana last gave him a bad feeling.

After a few more questions, Lucy returned to her seat amid cheers and admiration.
Then came the announcement for Quiana.
“Don’t be nervous, Quiana! Good luck!” Sofia cheered her on with a fist pump.
Quiana, tall and strikingly beautiful, exuded an extraordinary aura. She looked like a supermodel even in simple sportswear, her long, slender legs almost glowing under the lights.
She walked onto the stage with perfect posture, leaving both the trainees and interviewers stunned by her presence.
It took a while before someone finally asked, “Ms. Levine, you went from poverty to becoming the daughter of the wealthy Larson family in Janivielle overnight. How does that feel?”
