Rachel walked in, accompanied by a foreign man.

The moment they entered, the crowd closed in around them.

"Oh my God, isn't that Mr. Harry, the man everyone's calling the heir to Mr. Walden?"

"Harry? You mean the violin prodigy who stunned the world at just five years old?"

"Aaah! Harry is my idol! He's only thirty-five and already has such an incredible career. By the time he reaches Mr. Walden's age, he'll be every bit as legendary!"

"If Rachel's teamed up with him, what chance do the rest of us have? He's in a completely different league."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but gloat. "Well, it looks like Stella is about to be put in her place!"

Everyone turned to stare at Stella, their eyes filled with gleeful anticipation, as though waiting for a show to begin.

From the first round of the competition, Stella had held first place, undefeated.

Even the fiasco with Felipa last time hadn't dented her reputation; if anything, it only brought her more attention and admiration.

Stella wasn't just rewriting history in the competition-her commercial value was beginning to rival that of a top celebrity.

Naturally, the lesser-known contestants, starved for the spotlight, were eaten alive by jealousy.

They all secretly hoped to see Stella finally lose.

Maybe, if she suffered a crushing defeat, she'd collapse under the pressure and fade away like a shooting star.
