Chapter 208 Apologies
Even Grace felt that Sieria’s attitude was too much, and her words were harsh.
She was about to say something to lighten the mood when Maggie said, ‘Don’t sweat it. No one can deny. your populanty You’ll only have more haters”
“Your
Sierra slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
As the makeup artist was doing her eyebrows, she suddenly shook her hand, drawing a long, chestnut- coloured line across her face, which looked pretty funny
Jack and Grace tried hard not to burst into laughter and avoided eye contact.
But the makeup artist’s shaking shoulders gave them away.
When Sierra realised what had happened and saw her reflection in the mirror, she was livid. Without hesitation, she grabbed a compact powder from the table and tossed it at Maggie.
Maggie dodged swiftly, but the compact powder popped open, scattering powder all over her.
you realise
Danielle, catching sight of this, looked seriously upset. “Sierra, what’s wrong with you? Do where we are? This isn’t some talent show for you to stir up drama. Cut it out, or get out of here!”
Danielle, who was usually easygoing, was visibly flushed with anger.
Sierra looked grim, but she was afraid of losing her spot, so she stayed quiet.
Even though she was willing to let it go, Maggie wasn’t willing to
With her clothes now dirtied for no reason, her mood had taken a hit.
Danielle’s expression only softened slightly when Sierra sat back down.
But who would have expected that in the next instant, Maggie would directly pick up a bottle of foundation from the dressing table, unscrew the lid, and pour it all over Sierra’s head.
Ahh!
On the side, Grace and Jack were both stunned, clearly not expecting Maggie’s actions.
Sierra was shocked, letting out a shrill scream before leaping up from her chair.
The foundation, slowly trickling down her hair, quickly created a messy patch on her head.
As she moved, some of it dripped onto her forehead.
“Maggie, how dare you!” Sierra’s face was flushed with anger and embarrassment. If it weren’t for the makeup artist and photographer holding her back, she might have charged forward to scratch Maggie’s
face.
Maggie tactfully took a step back, looking puzzled.
Chapter 208 Apologies
Faced with the gazes of students from other schools, she appeared remarkably calm.
Sierra was almost exploding. She couldn’t believe Maggie would dare to do such a thing!
It took Danielle a few seconds to regain her composure, almost losing her temper.
Sierra was one thing, but who would’ve thought Maggie, such a top student, could pull something like this
off?
Catching Danielle’s gaze before she could say anything, Maggie quickly straightened up and meekly apologised, “I’m sorry, Ms. Joyton. My bad.”
Danielle was left speechless for a moment, unable to voice her thoughts.
What could I do?
What could I possibly do!!!
Normally a well–behaved, obedient, and responsible representative of excellence, now she lowered her head, earnestly apologising for her mistake.
What else could I do?
Danielle let out a sigh, her face stiff, as she said, “Don’t do it again.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Maggie quickly responded, looking obedient.
She was lucky, unlike Sierra.
While Maggie obediently admitted her mistake, Sierra was still being held back by the makeup artist and photographer, her face twisted in anger. Her makeup and hairstyle, which were not finished, looked even
worse now.
Seeing students from other schools taking out their phones and starting to record, it was clear that the situation was escalating.
“Sierra! Have you had your fill of drama?” Danielle scolded. “If you don’t want to be replaced, get back to your seat right now and fix yourself up.”
Sierra trembled with anger, glaring at Danielle with resentment.
Danielle’s expression soured further upon meeting her gaze.
The more she thought about it, the more she believed Sierra instigated the whole thing. Being from the same family. Maggie might have endured a lot of bullying before, which may explain why she acted this
way now.
Sierra never expected that Maggie would be the one to take action, but she was the only one to end up receiving the scolding. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
However, Danielle, with her youth, beauty, and good background, married into a prominent family. making her someone not to be underestimated.
Seeing Sierra burning with anger, Maggie couldn’t help but smirk and left with Grace and Jack.
Chapter 208 Apologies
When the group returned to the audience seats, the competition had just started, with the second group Liking the stage.
The results would be announced thirty minutes later, which essentially meant that after the second group finished performing, the results of the first group’s advancement would be revealed.
The advancement rules involved three aspects: judging panel scores, on–site voting, and off–site voting.
The contestants with the highest score from the judges would have direct advancement rights, while the rankings of other contestants would be determined based on the combined votes from both inside and outside the venue. Additionally, each judge held one red ticket, which in the first round was equivalent to one thousand votes both inside and outside the venue.
Maggie settled down and focused on the competition.
It wasn’t until nearing six in the evening, with the last group taking the stage, that Sierra arrived, fashionably late.
She wore the same school uniform as the others, albeit with noticeable modifications.
Her hair appeared freshly washed and styled into delicate, large curls.
Her lips were quite small, and though her makeup was a bit heavy, it added a touch of arrogance and sophistication, giving her the air of a pampered heiress yet undeniably attractive,
As soon as Sierra appeared, many eyes were drawn to her..
After all, with the recent rumours swirling about the piano prodigy, there was a lot of curiosity surrounding her.
Ignoring all the attention, Sierra walked up to Maggie’s side and glanced at Grace beside her, smiling as she said, “Grace, mind if I swap seats with you?7
Grace was taken aback for a moment, clearly caught off guard by the request, and instinctively glanced at Maggie.
Maggie gave a slight nod in response, and Grace let out a sigh of relief before rising to offer her seat.
Once she settled back down, Sierra crossed her arms and fixed a cold stare at the woman playing the piano on stage, remarking, “Maggie, you’re quite the actress, aren’t you? All these years, you’ve pretended to be obedient and respectful to me, but in reality, you’re just a deceitful backstabber!”
Maggie smiled softly, her gaze still fixed on the stage as she spoke in a gentle tone, “Feeling confident? Those awards you got were all bought. Won’t you tremble once you’re up there?”
“Maggie, stop with these futile provocation! Let me tell you, it won’t affect me!” Sierra exclaimed, clearly irritated.
After repeatedly being outsmarted by Maggie, she found herself speechless, realizing that even if she spoke up, no one would believe her. She constantly sought ways to retaliate and regain her pride..
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find any leverage against this b*tch!
However, she wasn’t in a hurry, With a nationwide competition like this, there would be ample chances for her to expose Maggie’s flaws.
“How long has it been since you las
