Christine seethed with anger, thinking, "If Rachel hadn't just told me that Meryl's piece would be a strong contender, I would never have risked sabotaging her cello! After all, with so many eyes on me, was I out of my mind?"

She couldn't believe that instead of standing by her side, Rachel was trying to push her out of their group.

Filled with resentment, Christine shot a venomous glare at Rachel.

She thought, "How could someone be so shameless?"

She stamped her foot in frustration, wishing she could wipe that smug look off Rachel's face.

Backstage was in chaos, yet the live stream on stage continued without a hitch.

The scores had finally come in, and everyone was gearing up for the award ceremony.

Staff members urged the contestants to move to the front and prepare for the presentation.
