Holly couldn’t stop thinking about last night, about what that bastard did to her. He even threatened her to keep her mouth shut, or he would ruin her life forever.
Holly couldn’t stop crying when she thought about that. It was all Thea Todd’s fault. If she didn’t use her sugar daddy against her, Holly wouldn’t fall into this mess and won’t be making abrupt decisions. She wouldn’t have made a stupid mistake like this.
May came to hand her a box of tissue. Holly pushed May away as she grabbed everything she could put her hands on and threw them onto the ground.
She hated it! She hated everyone! Holly was screaming and smashing like a mad woman. And then, someone suddenly came to knock on her door.
May hurried to hold the door open, and a suited young man walked in. The young man was holding a folder in his hands as he checked the luxury apartment around with his cold green eyes, “I’m Lee, and I’m from HC Entertainment. Is this Miss Gordon’s house? I need to talk to her.”
“Oh… Of… Of course… Please come in,” May said carefully and let Lee come in.
The parlor was a mess. Glass pieces were scattered everywhere on the ground. Lee frowned a bit as he saw Holly standing in the middle of the room. Her hair was a mess, and she was panting heavily.
Lee cleared his throat before approaching her, “Miss Gordon? I’m from HC Entertainment. My boss, Mr. Dawson, saw your potential, and he wants to sign you as our artist. Do you want to see the contract?”
Holly looked up, her eyes blank and lost, “What did you just say?”
Lee cleared his throat again. This woman looked like a walking corpse. He didn’t even know why his boss wanted to sign her. Just because she “was determined to get what she wanted at any cost”?
“Do you still remember that party last night? My boss was also there when you talked to Mr. Scott. Mr. Dawson saw your potential, and he’d like to sign you as an artist. Would you like to consider our offer?”
HC Entertainment?! That HC Entertainment?! Holly’s hands shot to cover her mouth. She couldn’t believe she would be this lucky.
So, that good-looking man walking next to Bentley Scott was actually Derek Dawson? Why did she even bother to suck on Scott when Derek thought she had the potential? But it didn’t matter. Now that she would become Derek’s artist, whatever she had done last night was worth it. Holly almost squeaked at the good news as she snatched the contract away from Lee’s hands without thinking.
The contract signing went quite smoothly. However, Derek didn’t assign her any jobs. He changed Holly’s name first. Holly had sent her assistant to photoshop Thea’s face onto peen stars’ bodies. She had even climbed on Bentley’s bed to get a chance. Although what she had done in the past was disgusting, Derek had a feeling that those things would stand in her way if he still wanted to make her big. So, Holly was not Holly Gordon anymore. She was Yolanda now.
Derek told her that he would send a dance teacher to correct her body posture soon. Yolanda would do whatever Derek asked her to do right now. So she said yes. She buried her hatred toward Thea deep in her mind, swearing that she would get back at that bitch when she had the power to do it.

There were only 5 days before the live-stream final competition. All the girls started to go back to the building gradually. Beth and Luna had gone back ahead of time. They had practiced their parts perfectly, but they knew they needed to make sure things wouldn’t go wrong when they went on stage and performed with other members.
And that made the team rehearsal extremely important. There were only 20 girls left before the last round. And they had been decided into three groups.
Each group would perform a different song. Thea, Luna, Beth, Rebecca, Jessica, Anna, and Angie were distributed to the same team, and their song performance would involve a great deal of complicated choreography. The song was difficult enough, and the group members needed to work with each other very well. Thea had practiced her part repeatedly when she was left in the building. Luna couldn’t even believe that she was still Thea Todd, the girl who was almost eliminated because she didn’t know how to dance.
Anna was the last to come back. Since she hadn’t practiced much when she was away, she was dragging the process of the whole team down. They had to slow down and ensure she could catch up with them.
Most members found it annoying. There were only 3 days left, and Anna still forgot her parts during the rehearsal. Anna had the potential as a star. Or her company wouldn’t have signed her. But the dance of this song was extremely complicated. Moreover, she didn’t even practice enough. That was why she found it a bit difficult to catch up.
After practicing all day in the studio, the girls went to the canteen to get some food. Anna didn’t eat much because she was not in a good mood. She looked at her teammates’ faces. They were also quite pressured as they had a “drag-down” on their team.
The meal was silent and heavy.
However, Tiffany suddenly walked over at the moment, “Wow… You guys practiced so long in the studio today.”
Anna seemed pretty pissed off, “I couldn’t figure out my parts, so they delayed the time because of me. Why are you guys so early?”
Anna remembered Tiffany even came back one day later than her. How did she pick up her choreography so damn fast? Did she practice secretly at home?
No… It couldn’t be.
Anna remembered seeing Tiffany in the club every night.
Tiffany laughed, “Oh, me? My sweet teammates changed the whole choreography because of me. So I only needed to do a simple part. That’s why I
managed to catch up so quickly.”
The atmosphere of the whole table changed after Tiffany said that. Anna looked up, staring at her teammates’ faces hopefully. But none of them even made any eye contact with her.
So… Changing the whole choreography for her wouldn’t be possible.
Anna clenched her teeth, resenting her teammates even more.
Anna thought things wouldn’t get worse. However, her naughty photos taken for her rich boyfriend were exposed by someone online that night.
Anna’s company spent a lot of money to cover the whole thing.
Anna had gone mad when she saw those photos. She called her boyfriend immediately, and her boyfriend told her that he had gone to have his phone fixed. He didn’t mean to let those photos leak.
