Chapter 685

"I bet she's just scared that she'll get exposed for not being all that talented, especially in those international circles," someone sneered. "No matter how much power she throws around here, it's not like her influence stretches overseas. She's only impressive in her own backyard."

Rachel, who had been silent so far, finally spoke up. “I suppose I could tolerate most things, but her utter lack of respect for her mentor-I just can't accept that."

She went on to recount, in detail, how Stella had completely disregarded Mr. Walden during the last competition, showing not a shred of respect.

Everyone listened, frowning deeply. Whatever good impression they'd had of Stella was gone in an instant.

Rena scoffed. "It's a disgrace to our profession that someone like her is even active in the music world."

David, the brown-haired man, added, "She even has the nerve to exploit her late mother's memory for publicity. Someone needs to teach this clueless little brat a lesson."

Rachel's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as she watched everyone bristling with righteous indignation.
