When several people were toasting to Charles, he remained seated, standing only when he saw someone approaching. David paused for a moment, feeling flattered and surprised, and broke into a smile. "You don't need to get up," he said."No problem," Charles said, picking up his wine glass and clinking it against David's. He then turned his gaze to Maria."I have to admit," he said, "I heard Maria play the piano a long time ago, and I was deeply moved by her music. She's a genius pianist with an unbelievable talent. I know she's part of your team, and I hope you'll take good care of her in the future."This revelation stunned not only David, but also the other judges and girls present. They finally understood why Charles was so kind to Maria. It turned out he was a fan of hers!Lucy and Rivata felt a pang of jealousy.Even Alice felt a pang of emotion. They were all highly accomplished pianists and each was considered a genius by their home country. Did they fall short of Maria?They be

Even though the wound on Maria’s left hand had scabbed over and the scab was about to fall off, she insisted on applying medicine every day. Due to her inconvenience, Linda helped her, so they arrived at the training camp quite late.As soon as they walked in, they felt that the glances of the others were not right. Yesterday, everyone was grouped in pairs, but today all of them gathered together, including the members of Maria’s group.After walking a few steps, Maria and Linda discovered the problem - it seemed like they had been singled out by everyone else."What's going on?" Linda asked, supporting Maria with her left hand and looking at the others.When she looked at them, they didn't avoid her gaze. In fact, most of them gave her looks of disdain."What on earth..." Linda was at a loss, "When did we offend everyone?"Maria responded coolly with a light laugh, "I'm afraid everyone already knows about what happened last night?""Last night?"It didn't take long for Linda to reme

At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door, "What on earth are you guys doing!? Why are so many of you surrounding here?"The girls were suddenly frightened and turned their heads towards the door.David was standing there at the doorway, holding a thermos with a cold expression on his face. His normally soft eyes were now filled with rage.Even with all their excitement, these girls would not dare to take action in front of David!They all moved off to the side, some afraid of drawing David's attention even kept hiding behind their pals.But at this time, who would dare to show their face in front of David, everyone wanted to hide from his sight.Sadly, each one of them was clearly seen by David.As the girls huddled on one side, silent, he walked in glaring, thermos in hand. Behind him stood William and Charles.Upon seeing this, William, who was standing nearby, was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Smith, my apologies for

Previous events were witnessed by both William and Charles from behind, but he acted as if he knew nothing. He glanced at Yoyo, then furrowed his brows to look at David."What happened? Why do you want to kick her out?"David pointed at his face which was slapped, yelling in rage, "Damn it! She disfigured me! I've lived so long, yet this is the first time I've been hit. She's rebellious, I couldn't possibly keep her here; are you suggesting I get cozy with her?"Upon hearing this, Linda almost burst out laughing.David was just too humorous.Hahahaha!Maria also struggled to suppress her laughter, turning her head aside, her shoulders heaving as she tried to hold back her laughter.A corner of William's mouth twitched fiercely. He held back his laugh, and nodded seriously, "If she dared to hit you, she definitely can't stay!"Yoyo, who had recovered from the shock of hitting David, was startled to hear William agree to kick her out without asking any questions. A sense of grievance w

William and David returned to the training room, summoning all the members. Looking at the girls, who were as beautiful as flowers, William's face was stern with a hint of anger, "What the hell!? On the first day of the training camp, you've already caused this much trouble. If you don't want to stay in the camp, you can all get lost!"The girls stood silently, all bowing their heads, hardly daring to even breathe. When David had asked them to leave earlier, they hadn't taken him seriously, though they had been a bit scared. They didn't think the organizers would give David that much power. After all, out of their group of twenty-five, twenty-three had left. Only Maria and Linda remained. How would they continue the competition?But now, when William himself had spoken, they didn't dare to question it anymore. Seeing their fearful expressions, William's mood improved slightly, "Yoyo has already left the camp. If you don't want to follow her, train seriously and stop playing games!
