Chapter 171
Both of them were singers who debuted at the same time and, thus, were consistently being compared all the time.
Five years ago, Elva had been not nearly as good as Sarah.
But who could know that Elva was still no match for the current Sarah, who hadn’t been on stage for the past five years?
How humiliating!
Elva was so wrought up about it that she kept begging Jasper to find a solution.
Jasper had thought he had an easy win by betting on Elva.
He didn’t expect that he would end up cleaning up the mess.
Jasper’s eyebrow twitched, but he controlled his temper and snapped at Ariana, “Don’t be too complacent.
Extreme joy begets sorrow.
”
Ariana brushed him off.
She thought Jasper was talking nonsense.
She focused her attention on the stage and saw that it was playing the behind-the-scenes footage of Sarah’s group.
It was playing in preparation for Sarah’s group’s stage performance.
Sarah was soon due to go on the stage for the next performance.
Since she was in no mood to argue with Jasper, Ariana began to watch the show intently.
Other than the first public performance, the later rounds required the artists to perform as a group.
Compared to individual performances, group performances valued the compatibility of tacit understandings and styles.
Everyone was like a small gear in a bigger machine.
The performers had to work together to complete the performance to perfection.
There were five members in Sarah’s group this time, and the other four were either movie actresses or dancers.
Therefore, Sarah was picked to be the lead singer and was responsible for the highest pitch during the song.
The show was on.
The lights dimmed, and the audience hushed.
Then, the spotlights gradually turned from dark to bright, and the five silhouettes appeared in the mist created by dry ice.
Suddenly, a beautiful high note pierced the air without any accompaniment, which stunned the audience.
Sarah’s beautiful high pitch was always steady and distinctive.
Even though Ariana had heard it so many times, she still got goose bumps.
The song the performers chose was a classic song from the last century.
The original tune was a jazz song, but it was now adapted and reprised by the group to have a flavor of punk rock, full of life and energy.
The main chorus lit up the audience, and everyone began to sing along in enthusiasm, waving their arms and smiling.

It could be said that no other group had the same amount of energy in the atmosphere when they put on their performance.
Ariana relaxed and listened to the enthusiastic applause, whoops, and cheers.
With the audience’s response, she could only assume Sarah would win again.
However, when she turned her head, she noticed Jasper smiling at her calmly.
He said, “Don’t be getting confident now.
I dare to say that first place will be Elva’s this time.

Ariana noticed Jasper’s confident demeanor and _ suspected something was amiss.
