Chapter 85
Eliana’s words stabbed right into Willow’s hear
Willow had spent so much money to ensure she could be the school belle of Isonstead University. Yet now, instead of being the school belle, she had become a joke!
Tens of thousands of bucks had gone down the drain, yet she could only suffer in silence.
Not only could she not say anything, but she also had to continue to feign ignorance and act clueless,
Thonestly am not aware. I’m sorry. I have ruined the fairness of the competition, but I honestly don’t know anything about this.
“Although I can afford to pay for vote–rigging isn’t it better if I use this sum of money to treat my friends to a feast? Why would I be so dumb as to pay for vote–rigging when I know it’s wrong Please believe me?
The senior had underestimated Willow’s shamelessness. She had thought that the evidence was indisputable. Yet Willow was able to twist the truth in her favor.
In all fairness, the senior had to admit that there was indeed a chance of malicious actors framing Willow for vote rigging to get her disqualified from the competition.
The dance club members were clamoring loudly. “Since there’s another culprit, you should clear Willow’s name
That’s right. Willow will never do such things”
“She was so kind–hearted just now and even helped Yulila take the blame. She would never do such a thing” The supportive voices grew louder.
“I think someone is secretly rigging these votes to harm her! I don’t have to tell you who it is
The senior on the stage was speechless as she exchanged glances with Eliana.
Eventually, the senior could only concede. “Alright, since that’s the case, our competition committee will invalidate all the fraudulent votes. Willow, you don’t have any objections, do you?”
After all the fraudulent votes were removed, the offending IP addresses would he blocked too.
The tens of thousands of bucks Willow spent had gone down the drain. If she had known earlier, she would not have embarked on this strategy. In the end, it was all for nothing
Willow found it hard to rejoice, but under these circumstances, not getting disqualified from the competition was already the best possible
She forced a smile and said, “Alright, thank you very much. I want to i

As they were chattering. Stella felt someone tugging at her arm.
Stella turned around and saw Natalia Jewell walking toward her with the rest of the dance club nimbers.

The tennis club members immediately rallied around Eliana defensively. A human wall of guys lined up next to Eliana and Stella. The sight formed. a sharp contrast with the group of girls from the dance club
One tennis club member whispered, “What are they doing here??
“Maybe they want to settle scores with us because they are sore losers?” someone jested.
“Bring it on then. I’m not afraid of them.”
However, the guys were thinking too much. Natalia was not a sore lover, and she was not here to cause trouble
Natalia headed straight for Eliana. Her gaze calmly swept over the dance costume Eliana was still wearing. She then asked, “Eliana, who taught you how to dance Street Jazz!”
Incidentally, Eliana was wearing the protege’s pearl inlay bracelet that Quinella Leicester had given her earlier.
-Why:
you
“Why are you asking this!” Eliana replied warily.
Natalia batted her eyelids slowly and her rosy lips were tremulous as she said, “I’m just curious. You don’t seem like someone who has not foundation in dancing. Although the dance clubs lost today, I didn’t lose to you. From a professional point of view, I can see the shortcomings in your technique, but the laypeople can’t. I’m very curious to know who taught you.”
Before Eliana could answer her, a crisp clear voice rang out from afar. “Quinella Leicester
All eyes turned
to Latoya and Ramona, the Yardley twins, as they led a group of students from the Sports Institute toward them.
Not far away from them, Cameron Wright and his clique were also strolling over,
Latoya repeated loud and clear, “Qui–nel–la Leicester!”
Ramoru stuck out her chin. “That’s right!”
After getting her answer, Natalia closed her eyes momentarily. It was indeed Quinella Leicester.
In fact, before she came to ask, she already had her own conjecture in her heart. However, she was unwilling to believe that Eliana was so lucky that she could receive Quinella’s teaching. Thus, she had to verify in person.
“Quinella Leicester! Our president already said that Quinella Leicester was no longer teaching. Even if you guys want to lie, you should at least do some research, okay? Besides, if you can claim that Quinella Leicester is her instructor, I can also claim that I am the student of our country’s Prima Ballerina Assoluta?” someone retorted scornfully
Latoya and Ramona burst out laughing in response. They ignored the smart alec and looked at Natalia instead. “Natalia Jewell, would you like to explain“”
Natalia turned her head slightly to look at the smart alec behind her. “They’re Quinella Leicester’s proteges”

Leicester has taken Eli under her wings. Eli is officially Ms. Leicester’s last protégé.”
Latoya nodded. “She’s our fellow protégé, so we’re here today to cheer her on
Everyone was dumbstruck. Quinella had accepted Eliana as her last protégé? This was equivalent to receiving an earth–shattering buff
The jaws of all the dance club members dropped. “What?”
After the initial shock, Natalia laughed. Then she shook her head. “Eliana Davis, you’re truly the biggest surprise I have encountered after returning from overseas Good, very good indeed. Since Quinella Leicester has taken a fancy to you, I’m curious to see what kind of accomplishments you can achieve in the future. There’s still a long way to go. I look forward to seeing you on the stage of the Nelumbo Award.”
