Stephanic noticed Alan’s reaction as well. She stood on her tiptoes, arrogantly tilting her head down, exuding the air of a victor.
As she passed by Milly, she sneered. “No need to perform. I’ve already won.
Just then, the host’s voice echoed through the sound systém, “Contestant number 45, please take the stage. for the ballet performance of ‘Swan Lake.”
The same piece as Stephanie.
However, Milly didn’t rush to the stage. Instead, she turned to face Stephanie with a cold smile playing on her lips. “Is that so? Remember this moment because it won’t last.”
With that, she gracefully made her way to the stage.
Seeing her confident demeanour, Stephanie stomped her foot in frustration.
Had she ever seen ballet before? Had she ever learned ballet? How dare she speak so boldly in front of me!
She’d soon see who would be left embarrassed!
Through her glasses, Milly gazed down at the audience in the packed auditorium, filled with students and teachers who had come to watch the auditions.
She drew the last number, and as she took the stage, the school had already let out, drawing a crowd of curious students to watch the auditions. Thankfully, her past challenges had prepared her well for the

As the music began, Milly danced with precision and grace, lost in the melody. It felt like she had returned to the dance studio of her previous life, guided by her mentor’s guidance.
Melanie watched in awe as Milly twirled elegantly on stage. “Boss is truly a hidden talent. Her dancing is simply mesmerising.”
Beside her, William’s hands were ready to applaud. “Incredible! Absolutely breathtaking!”
Words fell short of describing the moment.
Anthony found himself standing in a corner of the auditorium, mesmerised by Milly’s performance.
Suddenly, instead of confetti, black liquid splattered down, staining the floor and Milly’s white dance skirt.
The audience gasped in shock and began to murmur.
“What is that?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“So dark. It’s disgusting.”
“It must be ink. Look how it’s stained everything black!”
William leapt up. “D*mn it! Who did this?”

“No “buts: Rushing up now will only make things worse. She will handle it
Trembling with anger, Melanie prayed that Milly could resolve the crisis.
On stage, Milly, drenched in black ink, was taken aback.
It was supposed to be coloured ribbons, not ink. She quickly realised who was behind this cowardly act. Glancing backstage, she met Stephanie’s smug smile, a silent challenge: Let’s see how you handle this!
Milly sneered disdainfully, arching her eyebrows as she pondered how childish it was to flaunt such tactics. as if it would guarantee victory.
The music continued to play, but she abruptly halted her spinning steps, casing her shoulders down, slowing her dance movements, and emitting a sense of melancholy.
Beside her, the screenwriter beside Alan observed the comical mishap on stage and lost interest in the performance.
Furrowing his brow, he said, “Mr. Hawkins, let’s go. Number 44’s performance was already perfect and suited for the role. There’s no need to watch number 45.
Using ink in such a significant event is akin to defiling ballet!.
However. Alan raised his hand to stop him. “Wait, let’s watch a bit longer.”
His keen eyes narrowed as he observed the stage, sensing a shift in the melody to which the student was dancing.
She was no longer performing Swan Lake, but instead… The Swan’s Elegy!
Despite the lively score of Swan Lake, her movements and aura softened the mood into one of melancholy. The entire performance exuded a tone of sorrow and tragedy, as if her ink–stained costume vividly portrayed the slow demise of the swan’s life.
Just when everyone anticipated the dance to conclude in accordance with the swan’s demise, the swan on the ground appeared to glimpse a glimmer of hope. It struggled to rise, twirl, break free from death’s grasp and the mire, and soar towards the light.
It was a rebirth!
As dawn approached, the transformation was complete. The white attire morphed into black, successfully emerging from the mud, soaring into the sky. The black streaks on its body now symbolised a badge of its
rebirth.
At a certain point, Milly removed the ink–covered glasses, her damp bangs swept behind her cars, revealing her exquisite and beautiful visage.
The music ceased, the dance concluded, and the auditorium fell silent. The audience was captivated by this visual spectacle, as if afraid that the elegant and beautiful girl before them, akin to a true swan, would vanish if they uttered a word.
Suddenly, applause erupted, accompanied by whistles and loud cheers of “Campus Belle!”

The once hushed auditorium now buzzed with cheers, applause, screams, and whistles, all chanting in unison. “Campus Belle! Campus Belle! Campus Belle!…”
“Oh my goodness! Who said that the top student in the grade was unattractive? Come here and face the consequences!”
“This beauty, this grace, this figure! It’s a shame to be merely a campus belle.”
“Sob, Mom, I think I’m smitten!”
“Quick, slap me! I believe I just witnessed a fairy descending from the sky. Did she smile at me?
“I’ll slap you to death! Who said she’s smiling at you? Take a look at your acne–ridden face before you speak!”
In that fleeting moment, Milly glimpsed the fervent fans she had in her previous life at the peak of her fame. She offered a faint smile, her captivating amber eyes scanning the crowd. She was pleased with the visual impact she had delivered, particularly when she caught sight of the shocked expression on Stephanie’s face behind her. Her smile broadened.
Just as she prepared to bow and exit the stage, Alan raised his hand, signalling her to wait. “Hold on, Miss. I have a few questions for you.”
