After watching that video of Alicia learning the choreography on the spot, they had no ammunition to fire back at the critics.

The group fans, especially, were feeling bitter about the whole situation.

Some of them suddenly remembered what had drawn them to LUMIA in the first place-it was watching those five girls stand on stage together when the group first formed, all of them working so hard to shine.

They couldn’t pinpoint exactly when they’d started questioning and hating Alicia.

Maybe it was because the other four members kept dropping hints that Alicia bullied them, that she was a tyrant who lorded over the group.

Those subtle suggestions made fans feel protective of the others, and their dislike for Alicia just kept growing.

After all, everyone hated bullies in real life.

Haley and Starlight Entertainment had also worked to diminish Alicia’s presence, marketing her as a dead weight who dragged the group down.

So the fans had been manipulated, plain and simple.

In that moment, plenty of group fans didn’t just lose their support for the group-they couldn’t hold back from turning on them with sarcastic questions and criticism.

Running aggressive fandom operations had its obvious benefits, but when it backfired, the damage wasn’t light either.

The solo fans were doing okay, and fans of the other three members were still defending them hard.

But this time, it was mainly Felicity’s fans who jumped ship, and her popularity took the biggest hit.

No surprise there, since she was the one who got called out and embarrassed on the variety show.

The thing was, Felicity started it every single time-and every single time, she either backed down almost immediately or got shut down on the spot.

Her fans felt embarrassed and disappointed, like they’d been backing the wrong person this whole time.

Some tried to defend her, but they got shut down so quickly that they just went silent.

In the live studio, trainees looked at Alicia with stars in their eyes, completely starstruck.

The ones who’d been picked for Alicia’s group were especially smug, standing there with their chests puffed out like they’d won the lottery.

Alicia was incredible.

And this whole thing was going to blow up, bringing insane levels of attention and popularity.

They’d definitely ride that wave and benefit from it too.

Maxwell looked ridiculously proud, even more excited than when he performed himself.

He couldn’t help but brag. “See? I told you Alicia didn’t cheat. She’s always been this talented.”

‘She’s my sister,’ he thought. ‘She’s always worked hard to be the best at everything!

Everyone around him stayed quiet. ‘What’s he so proud about? Does Alicia even know him that well?’
