Chapter 221
“Is that so?” Quiana chuckled softly, not revealing whether she believed it or not. With a calm expression, she questioned, “What’s the dance move for the first section, third set?”
“It’s…” Lucy replied, quickly scanning her mind. “It’s spreading both arms out, turning left, clenching the fists in front of the chest, then leaping into the air and performing a horizontal split.”
Quiana nodded, still maintaining a gentle smile. She continued, “What about the second section, the second set of moves?”
“Second set…” With a thoughtful expression, Lucy drifted her gaze to Lily subtly.
Lily’s expression became tense. She quietly moved a step behind Lucy.
Lucy said plainly, “The second set is about swapping positions forward, backward, and to the left.”
Quiana raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued. “And what about the second section, the fourth set of moves?”
“Third…” Lucy was about to blurt it out, but then she paused, frowning. “Do you expect me to just answer anything you ask?”
“Do you think this is some sort of quiz or a test? Are you too scared to face Lucy directly?” someone sneered from the crowd.
Wendy looked over. “Do you really think hiding back there means nobody knows it’s you, Viola?”
That day, Viola had been forced to bow down by Quiana, utterly humiliated. Now, she was not brave enough to face Quiana directly and could only hide at the back.
Being called out, she immediately shut her mouth and went silent.
Ryan glared at them coldly and said calmly, “Creating dances and writing songs are quite similar. A producer always remembers their newly created work the most. They won’t act like Lucy, who’s hesitating and needs prompts.”
“I…” Lucy’s expression changed as she bit her lip. “Mr. Clark, I’ve just been really tired these past few days…”
Quiana smirked and then said, “The 18th section is all about having the arms open, hand–in–hand, and stepping back with a bow. The 17th section consists of turning left, arm swing, bent knee with a small jump to twirl the sword. The eighth
section…”
“What is she doing?” The crowd was baffled.
The girls were confused. “What’s going on?”
Having practiced with the dance team for two days, Wendy had memorized all the steps. She widened her eyes in amazement. “Quiana is recalling the dance steps in reverse.”
“The ninth section…” Quiana crossed her arms and stepped forward. She looked at Lucy with a casual yet mischievous smile. “Do you need me to continue?”
“You…” Lucy never imagined Quiana would pull this move, and her face changed, causing her raised chin to drop.
“Reciting all the dance steps backward doesn’t prove it’s yours. If I were you and stole someone else’s choreography, I’d memorize it right away too,” Jessica scoffed.
The implication was that Quiana had memorized it beforehand to protect herself.
“Exactly! Who would memorize a routine that quickly?” someone chimed in. “Definitely someone with a guilty conscience!” “This is ridiculous,” Ryan said with no hint of a smile. “Lucy, tell me, when did you finish the choreography?”

In a restrained voice, Lucy said, “I finished it a little after 3 p.m. the day before yesterday.”
“And when did you realize it was missing?” he probed.
“It was at past midnight the night before yesterday, when we were all asleep.”
Sofia suddenly chuckled. “Lucy, do some research before making up a story.”
Lucy replied seriously. I’m telling the truth.”

Wendy raised her hand timidly and said in a small voice that everyone could hear, “After dinner two nights ago. Quiana, Sofia. Thalia, and I stayed in the training room until 3:30 a.m. before returning to our dorms.
She pointed to the wall behind her. “If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras.”
