Chapter 128
When Jodie was about to insult Amelie again, she saw her surrounded by the audience and realized there were only a handful of people around her. As her face turned pale, she couldn’t help but ask herself what was wrong.
How is that possible? Although she didn’t see how Amelie danced, she was confident in herself, having learned from the best dancer there was and had acquired professional certificates in dancing. Fine, I guess that’s because they were attracted to Amelie. After all, it was her first time dancing. At the thought of that, she waved her hand at the person working backstage as a sign for the music to play.
This time, Jodie decided to do the tango. While tango music was much more slow-paced than music for the Paso Doble, she was finally able to get a few glimpses of Amelie’s dance. What? Her dance is… impressive! Jodie looked at Amelie like the latter was an alien, thinking she must have been seeing things.
Hang on! Amelie has no talent, so there is no way she knows how to dance! Despite Jodie’s doubts, Amelie’s dancing talent was acknowledged when the audience only kept their eyes on her.
Refusing to admit defeat, Jodie decided to reveal her hidden card to turn the tables against Amelie. I bet that woman only knows the tango and Paso Doble, so I’m going to change my dancing style now and catch her off guard.
At the thought of that, she quickly changed her dancing style, only to realize Amelie was able to match her every move. Amelie was even able to get a step ahead of her during each switch, performing her every movement more smoothly and professionally.
By the time the music finished, Jodie realized there was no one else left around her. Humiliated and defeated, she clenched her fists bitterly while her lips trembled uncontrollably. Deep down, she wished she could just bury herself in a hole to get away from the embarrassing situation.
“I’m sorry, Miss Alston. Amy wins this round.” Julia came over with a smile.
Jodie pointed her finger at the lady, her eyes turning red as she stubbornly refused to concede. “She only won because this is Starlight Media’s turf. Everybody is only applauding her out of respect!”
In that case, why did you come here and stir up trouble in the first place? But thanks to you, Amelie was once again able to impress everyone with something different and earn their respect. Julia only laughed it off sarcastically, silently calling Jodie a fool for messing with Amelie despite knowing she was on her turf.
Soon, she sighed and patted Jodie’s shoulder. “Look, word has it that everyone is unhappy with the Alston Family for treating Amy less than she deserved, especially your brother, yet the fact that you came here today only proves the rumors were right. Thus, I’d say you only have yourself to blame for that.”
At that instant, Jodie’s face blanched in shame as she clenched her jaw tightly. She then walked up to the audio engineer and snatched his phone, knowing he had recorded them when they were dancing.
Impossible!” It seemed as if she was dancing with her soul.
While there were only a handful of people who could dance so impressively, Amelie was one of the few who could infect all those around her, making them so intoxicated that they lost themselves in her dance.
Anyone with skills like hers is a professional in dancing! Upon the realization, Jodie was overwhelmed by a strong urge to leave the place badly due to such an embarrassing defeat.
On the other hand, Elyse, who had been watching the entire time, silently knitted her eyebrows unhappily as she didn’t expect Amelie to beat Jodie in dancing. Who is Amelie? Why is she so good at car racing and dancing?
It was then Elyse realized she might not have seen through Amelie. The next second, she shifted her gaze to Leo, seeing him stand like a statue without any emotion on his face as if he had nothing to do with none of what was going on.
