“We haven't met very often," Maria answered simply.

“Just say you've never seen him if that's the case. What's the need of turning around and saying not often?"

Sarah immediately jumped on the opportunity to bring Maria down.

“Not often?" Sarah scoffed. Maria sure had a tactful way of admitting that she had never seen Felice before. However, Sarah didn't intend to let her go so easily without humiliating her

"I noticed that you made a Lot of changes to the original piece of the song Ambush on ALL Sides." That piece is one of the ten most famous songs in the world. It is a treasure passed down through generations

Who gave you the right to change it?"

That was the only thing Sarah could fault Maria for.

Maria's performance had been absolutely perfect. Even though most of the people present were amateurs, they could tell that Maria's work was excellent.

No one here could question Maria on her performance because it had been perfect and had no errors. Sarah was the only one that could notice this and point it out. Of course, her intention was to put Maria in a difficult spot and change what the others thought of her.

Besides, Sarah was right. The version that Maria performed wasn't the same as the one they all knew.

Since Maria's performance had been perfect, Sarah decided to attack her on that aspect.

She accused Maria of violating the essence of this piece of art.

“Won't you admit it? There are many different things between your version of "Ambush on ALL Sides" and the original version. By the way, who is your teacher? I want to know who thought you to play like this," Sarah said as Maria stayed silent.

When Maria still didn't react, she said, "You know what? I'1l just post the video of today's audition online and let the fans decide. An artist who adapts and plays a famous song without authorization? You're dead meat!"

This was a serious accusation!

If Sarah really exposed what Maria had done on social media, she would be ending Maria's acting career.

And of course, that was exactly what Sarah wanted.

If Maria was ruined, they would not even think of giving her the role.

Apart from Maria, all the others candidates weren't as good as Sarah. So, with Maria out of the picture, Sarah would eventually get the lead role.

"Mr. Jackson, Miss Willows, there's a commotion outside. What do we do?" reported a staff member of the crew to the judges. The waiting area had gotten so noisy that it couldn't have gone unnoticed.

“How did this happen?"

The assistant director who was already certain of taking Maria, frowned as he heard what Sarah had said.

Disappointed, he said to Francis and Greta, "We can only be thankful that you didn't sign the contract with Maria as soon as she finished auditioning.

Otherwise, the whole crew would have suffered from this."
