Kneel and apologize

The moment Sophie spoke up, everyone looked at her.

There were already several of Riane’s fans live-streaming the event, which had attracted quite a big audience.

Sophie wanted to humiliate Cecilia in front of everyone.

As expected, murmurs and laughter began to spread around the room.

“A mute in a singing contest? That’s funny.”

“Isn’t this supposed to be a comedy instead? The comedy show’s next door, haha!”

Cecilia snorted coldly.

“Mute? I think you're the deaf one.”

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was audible enough for everyone around.

Sophie was obviously prepared, sneering disdainfully as she raised her voice again.

“Who in Star City doesn't know that you used to be mute, Cecilia?”

She circled Cecilia, speaking with a hateful tone.

“Riane is the mystery judge here; someone like you isn’t qualified to be here. You better leave now if you’re smart!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

“So she’s Cecilia, the woman whom the Kingsleys dumped for cheating.”
