This was the first time in nearly half a month that Steven had truly gotten angry, and it was pretty scary.
All the girls lowered their heads, silent, and avoiding eye contact.
Steven sneered and said, “Since both of you say this choreography is yours, then have a dance–off!”
“Can a dance–off prove anything?” Jessica gathered her courage to sneer and muttered, “Who knows if Quiana has practiced in advance? After all, she can even memorize choreography. She-”
Steven interrupted coldly, “Do you want the mic to talk? You want to be the mentor?”
Words stuck in her throat, Jessica froze, not daring to say anything further.
They could offend anyone but never the mentors.
Lucy suddenly said, “Mr. Smith, things have reached this point. No one can stop it, and neither of us is willing to admit to anything.”
After a pause, Lucy added, “Besides, Quiana has memorized all the moves, and we don’t have time to re–choreograph. Since she’s unwilling to admit or concede, I won’t hold on to this any longer. Why don’t we settle this on the public stage?”
Lucy ended with, “If she loses with the same choreography, she’ll apologize to me, admit she’s wrong, and leave the show.” This was indeed a temporary solution.
Steven took a deep breath and asked Quiana, “What do you think?”
Quiana crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly, and looked at Lucy with an icy gaze. Quiana smirked coldly and said, “You really want my stuff that badly?”
Lucy’s clenched fist tightened as she steadied herself and replied, “Are you scared to compete?”
Quiana sighed mockingly, her smile inscrutable as she said, “You really don’t give up easily, do you? Since you want it so badly, I’ll give it to you.”
“So you agreed,” said Lucy, unsure if relieved or something else, but her previous confidence returned. “Do I need your permission for my own things? See you on stage!”
With that sharp remark, Lucy snatched the papers from Sofia and turned to leave the training room.
The incident ended there.
Seeing everyone else standing frozen, Steven sternly asked, “Do you all want to be eliminated?”
With a shiver, all the girls rushed back to their training rooms to continue practicing.
Within ten seconds, only Ryan, Steven, and the five members of the team were left in the room, including Lily.
“You traitor, what are you still doing here?” asked Sofia through gritted teeth.
Lily steadied herself and said, “I’m part of this team, and unless you have proof, don’t speak carelessly. Otherwise, I might sue you for personal attacks and defamation…”
“Enough,” said Steven, looking at Quiana with a complicated expression. Opening his mouth, Steven hesitated to say, “She-” Quiana narrowed her eyes. “It doesn’t matter whether she’s here or not.”

Ryan frowned, thinking that Quiana was never one to be so generous and take a loss like this.
However, there was no concrete evidence to prove who exactly choreographed that dance.
“Mr. Smith,” said Sofia, looking at Steven and biting her lip. “It really was Quiana who choreographed it. Wendy and I watched her work hard on it these past few days!”
Wendy nodded in affirmation. “I swear!”
“I know, but this matter…” Steven hesitated, wary of Lucy’s backer.
“It’s nothing,” said Quiana casually, sounding indifferent. “If she likes to compete so much, let her compete to her heart’s
content!”
Sofia frowned. “But if Lucy actually has the audacity to copy our exact choreography…”
Quiana calmly said, “It won’t be the same.”
“Huh?” responded Sofia.
Everyone in the room was stunned, thinking they had to create a new choreography.
However, there were only two days left.
Quiana slightly tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at Sofia. Quiana’s striking eyes sparkled, as she nonchalantly said, “That was just a draft. I came up with two more clever moves today to add in.”
In the back, Lily’s eyes widened slightly.
