Chapter 121

As soon as the voting period ended, the host brought all the guest mentors and trainees back to the stage.

He glanced at the mentors from each team with a teasing smile. “So, which team do you think put on the best show tonight?”

It was no secret that the producers loved stirring up a little drama.

Maxwell was the first to answer. “Honestly, I was convinced our team had it in the bag until I saw Team 4’s performance. They really brought something special.”

Nicolas nodded in agreement. “Team 4 definitely stood out. Their arrangement was fresh. The choreography was sharp, and the whole stage just exploded with energy.”

Then, with a direct glance toward Alicia, he added, “And Alicia, you absolutely blew me away up there.”

Watching Alicia’s performance from the audience seats had genuinely taken his breath away.

He’d always known she was skilled in both singing and dancing, but he never anticipated she would be this exceptional.

Once she stepped onto the stage, she simply glowed, utterly captivating, impossible to look away from.

Maxwell quickly added his own praise, “No argument there. Alicia’s performance was next-level, especially that flamenco sequence.

“I knew she was talented across the board, but I never expected her flamenco to be that flawless.”

That segment had left the deepest impression on him.

[And you know it again.]

[How would you know about all her talents?]

[Here we go again, the endless praise parade.]

[Honestly, if they ever stopped fawning over her, that would be the real surprise.]

[As a Nicolas fan, I’ve just accepted reality at this point.]

[Maxwell’s supporters have given up, too.]

[Did

you catch Nicole’s expression just now? She couldn’t keep it together. She looked seriously annoyed for a second before schooling her features. Good thing I screenshotted fast.]

[Nicole: I thought you were all supposed to be doting on me. Why is everyone praising Alicia now?]

[Let’s be real. After watching the show all week, I haven’t seen Nicolas or Maxwell treating Nicole like some cherished princess.]

[You didn’t know? Nicole has always been a pro at hype and persona-building. Besides the heiress image, the universally adored thing is totally manufactured too.]

[Wait, so the “everyone loves her” narrative was just PR?]

[Alicia’s fans need to get a grip and stop coming for Nicole.]

[Come on, Nicole is the beloved rich heiress. Why would she need to fake that?]

[Someone just turns bitter when her own publicity stunts fall flat.]

[Since when was I an Alicia fan? Nicole’s fans are truly delusional.]

[Mention Nicole and they instantly assume you’re Alicia’s fan. Just how much do Nicole’s fans resent Alicia?]

[I’ve noticed it too. Nicole and her fans seem weirdly fixated on Alicia, even though they’ve hardly interacted before.]

[Back when Alicia was falsely accused of clout-chasing, Nicole’s fans were the loudest in trashing her.]

[So why the targeted dislike? Did Alicia take something from Nicole?]

[Feels like there’s some behind-the-scenes tea here.]

This subtle shift in discussion was no accident. It was a carefully orchestrated move by Lucent Media’s PR

team.

By strategically directing attention toward the contrasting identities and underlying tension between Alicia and Nicole, they skillfully amplified public curiosity and set the stage for the unfolding rivalry.

On stage, Simon and Hannah added their voices to the praise. “We have to agree, Team 4 really stole the show tonight.”

Truth be told, they had never seriously considered their own team taking first place.

From their vantage point in the audience, Team 4’s performance was technically flawless, bursting with raw energy that electrified the entire venue, so their assessment felt only natural.

The focus then shifted to Nicole and Felicity.

Both could recognize the sheer impact of Team 4’s stage, yet neither was willing to openly acknowledge Alicia’s superior skill.

Nicole felt a surge of irritation toward the production group. This line of questioning was transparently designed to create drama.

But with the cameras rolling live and not only a massive audience but also their fellow guests watching, she had no choice but to maintain her carefully curated persona.

“Team 4 was quite strong,” she offered evenly.

Beneath the calm exterior, however, frustration simmered.

At least the voting had concluded. Any earlier endorsement might have unfairly swayed the results.
