Chapter 87
Since last month. Ella had been saying how talented Estler was at dancing, always raving about how good she was just a couple of days ago when Victoria met Esther, Victoria had a pretty good impression of her.
Victoria had high hopes for Esther today. But now, Victoria felt a deep sense of disappointment.
And those words struck Esther, who was proudly waiting on stage for praise, turning her face instantly red. Seeing Victoria about to leave, she quickly and nervously said, “Ms. Harris, it’s just that I admire you so much, I couldn’t help but mimic you when practicing my dance…”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened. “If you d

only one chance. Is it fair to others if I give you another one?”
Esther bit her lip. Victoria wanted a disciple to carry on her legacy, someone who naturally suited her dance style better. This was Ella’s perspective.
So. Ella had gone to Esther earlier, and they discussed adding some of Victoria’s dance elements into the routine, even switching to costumes resembling her ethnic style.
But Ella didn’t expect Victoria to react like this and quickly spoke up for Esther. “Ms. Harris, Esther watched your dance just once today and she already managed to incorporate elements into her own. Doesn’t that prove she has great talent!”
Victoria glanced at Ella. “Do you really think your little tricks can fool me?”
Ella’s smile froze on her face.
The performers who had finished their acts were watching at the backstage entrance. Victoria was holding a microphone, and her voice was loud and clear. Everyone exchanged puzzled looks.
Emily pouted and whispered to herself, “She wanted to be the last one on stage and impress everyone, but it turned out to be a complete joke”
“I thought her dancing would be amazing, especially since she was trying to imitate Ms. Harris…
“I heard Ella is her cousin. Maybe she thought copying Ms. Harris would win people over and let her sneak through the back door?”
“Who would know
“Wow, it seems like even the worst dancers among us at least got a keep up the good work from Ms. Harris….
Esther was the first to be criticized so harshly. Those words felt like a slap in the face, making Esther’s face turn a deep red. She wished she could find a hole to disappear into right then and there.
Just as she got off stage, she heard all the gossiping. Unable to hold in her frustration and embarrassment, she shouted, “What are you staring at?”
“Getting scolded and still acting all superior!”
“Exactly, even if her cousin is Ms. Harris’s student, she’s still not better than us!
Some people laughed mockingly. Emily leaned over to Bonnie and whispered, “Is she lashing out because she’s embarrassed?”
Bonnie mumbled, “Maybe”
“Bonnie!” Esther suddenly turned her head, glaring at Bonnie. “You must be feeling really pleased with yourself now, right?”
Bonnie glanced at her. “Why would I be happy about that?”

Esther was almost grinding her teeth, seething with anger. “I’ve worked really hard for st you who has never even danced before. You must be really happy now!”
Honnie was silent for a moment, almost amused but took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Just because you haven’t seen me dance doesn’t mean I haven’t practiced” she said.
