Upon hearing those words, Emily immediately directed a pleading look at Megan and Brian, who were in the audience.
Brian opened and shut his mouth but he couldn’t seem to find the words to say. He then lowered his head and he kept his mouth shut.
Megan couldn’t even bear to look at Emily. She turned her head to the side and pretended that she didn’t see anything, completely avoiding eye contact with Emily.
In actual fact, Janet was their biological daughter. Therefore, it was rightfully so that they stood by Janet’s side and provided her support. Besides, Emily was the one who kept challenging Janet. As parents, they were caught in the middle as well.
Furthermore, they were unsure whether Emily’s actions would bring further repercussions to their family.
To sum it up, Emily had to go.
“Dad! Mom!” Emily called out to them as she looked at Brian and Megan with a miserable expression on her face.
Are they going to abandon me? Am I not Mom’s favorite child? Why aren’t they standing up for me now that Janet’s being a bully? Why is this happening? Firstly, Mr. Hibert refused to help me and now, even my parents choose to keep their silence. Who else can I depend on for help?
At this point, Emily realized that she no longer had anything to lose so she yelled out vehemently, “Janet, you can’t hide your past! You, for one, know the deeds you’ve done. If I reveal your secret today, the whole family will be in hot water too!”
Emily hadn’t forgotten that she had a trump card in her hand.
If she revealed that Janet had a sugar daddy and was a home-wrecker, obviously J’Adore would not tolerate such behavior.
As such, if J’Adore asked for an explanation, the whole family would be in deep trouble too.
Initially, Emily thought that with this revelation, she would have the attention of the audience.
However, as soon as she said that, the audience admonished her in unison.
“Emily has no sense of shame at all! She’s the pot calling the kettle black!”
“Exactly! You’re a cheat! I want a refund!”
“You’re the one that plagiarized Sweet Tune Guru’s work; how dare you threaten her? You’d better justify your words!”
“What a joke! What sort of deep trouble do you mean? I think you’re the one in deeper trouble than the Jacksons!”
Initially, the audience in attendance were mostly Emily’s fans. However, they had all turned their backs on her and she was losing her fan base!
Janet was seemingly nonchalant upon hearing Emily’s words. She had no idea what Emily meant but she had nothing to fear.
Janet glanced at Emily and asked casually, “Please carry on.”
Thinking that Janet was anxious about her words, Emily snorted and said, “Nervous, aren’t you? Unfortunately, I’m not in the mood to say anything right now!” Emily couldn’t control her pleasure as she imagined Janet in a state of anxiety.
Janet has ruined my future. I’ll definitely not let her get away easily!
“I apologize for disrupting this competition due to my presence. Please excuse me.” Janet curled her lips as she bowed toward the audience and judges.
The host of the competition gave an awkward smile as he objected, “Of course not! Surely all of us are deeply appreciative of your presence today. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your help. Otherwise, the winner of this competition could end up bringing this competition into disrepute!”
As Emily heard his words, her face took on an ugly expression.
At that moment. Mr. Hilbert, who had been standing by the side, came forward. He peered at the woman sitting on the ground with his emerald-green eyes and announced, “From today onward, I renounce our relationship as master and disciple. As such, you are no longer welcome at the Royal Academy of Music.”
Emily lay slumped against the ground as she heard those words.
What did he just say? At this point, even Mr. Hilbert has chosen to turn his back on me?
“Mr. Hilbert, you can’t treat me like this! I’m your disciple!” She had held on to the thought that he had once acknowledged her position. Therefore, he couldn’t renege on his words just like that.
