was startling. The contestant’s powerful backing was evident, yet while other judges chose diplomatic silence,
Celeste stood her ground.
Her voice rang clear through the speakers.
“I don’t know who gave you the audacity to perform beforewith such inadequate skills. Your playing is
atrocious, and you have no place here.”
Celeste’s expression hardened.

“Tell whoever is behind you—zero means zero. Don’t expect special treatment.”
Elyse marveled, recognizing the deep passion behind the harsh words. “Celeste truly has zero tolerance for
imperfection when it comes to the violin.”
Driscoll appeared at her side, refilling her tea.
“I know Celeste,” he shared with a gentle smile. “She was Cody’s teacher in his youth. Without her guidance, he
wouldn't have becthe world-renowned violinist he is today.”
Elyse’s eyes widened at this revelation.
Before she could fully process this information, Celeste’s voice thundered from the TV once more.
“Letbe clear. As long as I'm on this show, | won't let you becanother Elyse Lloyd, winning first place
through such underhanded means.”
The words struck Elyse like a physical blow. She sat stunned, blindsided by being used as a negative example.

depth of Celeste’s apparent hatred for both Cody and her father.

“How dare she say that about you?” Driscoll’s outrage was palpable. “Your first-place victory was earned through
pure talent and dedication. How can she suggest otherwise?”
A wry smile crossed Elyse’s face. “She has always held this belief. I've never understood what convinced her that

Driscoll frowned, his indignation clear. “That's nothing but prejudice! If only she'd open her eyes and see the
truth. Your skill speaks for itself.”
On screen, the disgraced contestant retreated with flaming cheeks, while Celeste held her rigid posture, her
sharp gaze promising no quarter for mediocrity in the competition ahead.
Half an hour later, Chloe’s call cthrough, her voice tight with concern. “You're trending now. Celeste’s
attack, questioning your legitimate win, has stirred up considerable controversy.”
Elyse drummed her fingers thoughtfully before speaking. “Can we add something to my schedule?”
“What did you have in mind?”
“I want to appear on Celeste’s show as a contestant.”
