Chapter: 134
Josh looked back at her, and adjusted his glasses somewhat angrily. “Why didn’t you confirm the
accompaniment in advance?
It’s coming up to her part soon, and you have a problem now?
This is so unprofessional! Everyone gets one chance. No one here has time to wait for you.”
Ariana lowered her head in embarrassment at being scolded like this. It didn’t feel fair. Before this, she
had confirmed it several times. She hadn’t foreseen anything going wrong. @
“Is Sarah that important? I hear she wants to change the order of appearance?” Jasper walked over
just then, a gloating smile on his face. Humiliating Ariana was all he ever wanted.

on stage.” Josh delivered this ultimatum impatiently.
Just as he finished speaking, the countdown for the next singer was announced through the intercom.
This made Ariana feel even more jittery.
The only songs Sarah could sing now were the ones the organizer had bought the copyrights for. The
choices were limited, and none of them would make Sarah stand out. Besides, Sarah hadn’t practiced
any of them in advance, so it would be difficult for her to put on a good performance.
Now it was obvious Josh was on Jasper’s side. Maybe they had tampered with the accompaniment.
There was no audience this time, so it would have been easy for them to do it.
Ariana couldn’t do anything about it now. She was forced to make a choice. She made the bold
decision to get Sarah to sing a cappella.
As she had this idea, she gestured for Sarah to come over.
In front of the others, Ariana said, “There’s something wrong with the accompaniment, so we’re doing a
cappella.”
Sarah’s eyes widened. “Why a cappella all of a sudden? It’s going to be very difficult to make this song
a cappella and it has a wide sound range. I might ruin it.”
Ariana was aware of how hard it was, but she knew they had to take a gamble. She held Sarah’s hand
and spoke earnestly.
“You have to go on stage soon. There’s no other way. Don’t be scared. This is your work, and the last
step toward your bright future. You just have to do your best. Believe in yourself, and don’t hesitate.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing how much trust Ariana had for her, Sarah nodded.
Then the intercom sounded again, calling Sarah onto the stage.
“Have you decided to let Sarah sing a cappella?” Josh asked.
“Yes,” Ariana replied coldly. She watched Sarah, and felt herself become nervous.
Josh glanced at Jasper, wanting to know what he thought. @
Jasper didn’t say anything, but his face darkened. If Sarah performed well, she would be a big talking
point.
“Just let her do it. She’ll just end up embarrassing herself.”
Elva, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke. Her arms were crossed and her eyes
were full of contempt.
