Someone else wrote: [I’ve been saying for a while that her title as a genius is a scam. I bet she didn’t even choreograph any of these dances.]

A person commented: [This is so embarrassing. There were several international dance masters here today. Now, she’s completely ruined.]

Another wrote: [I think the original version was better. Olivia’s dance was visually stunning, out it just didn’t have the same vibe.]

A third person wrote: [I agree. The original version nailed the emotion.]

Someone else wrote: [I agree as well.]

Even though the show was over, not a single person in the audience got up to leave.

Everyone whipped out their phones, ready to watch the drama unfold, their eyes glued to the interviews happening on stage.

Andrew and Madeline felt like they were sitting on pins and needles all over again.

Noel glared angrily at the gossiping crowd nearby. “She must have copied my sister’s work. The real culprit is the one making accusations first!”

One of the audience members scoffed, “Their evidence is way more complete than yours. you’ve got proof, bring it out and let’s see.”

If

During Olivia’s performance, a trending actress with a background in dance had already reposted a dance video called “Chasing the Wind.”

This wasn’t just some spur–of–the–moment move.

She’d actually been teasing her fans for over two weeks, saying she’d discovered a gorgeous dance choreographed by a friend.

Most of her fans were into dance because of her.

With their idol hyping it up so much, everyone’s expectations were through the roof.

When they saw it today, it really was breathtaking, just like everyone hoped.

Everyone was talking about it, and with all the big names in the dance world and professors sharing the video, it shot straight up the trending charts in no time.

Meanwhile, Olivia’s final dance blew up online thanks to the live stream.

The two trending topics ended up side by side, and when people saw it, they were stunned. Not only were the names of the dance the same, but even the dance moves were identical.

Normally, people who weren’t into dance might just scroll past a video like that.

Since it was about a famous actress and a so–called genius caught up in a plagiarism scandal, suddenly everyone was interested in this.

With all the back–and–forth and the platform boosting the content, the hype just kept growing.

Some eagle–eyed netizens quickly pieced together a timeline.

In Olivia’s behind–the–scenes vlog, she spent a lot of time building up anticipation for “Chasing the Wind.”

She even emphasized that the dance was finished only recently and that she’d poured a ton of effort into it.

Just two days ago, she was still tweaking the moves, all to make sure she didn’t let her audience down and could deliver a flawless performance.

On the other hand, the actress had already teased the video well in advance.

But the real smoking gun was that the actress’s friend had uploaded her video way Olivia did.

before

She just kept the video hidden and only made it public ten minutes before the actress reposted it,

According to Olivia, she had only finalized the moves two days before her rehearsal.

But the other girl’s video already matched Olivia’s finished choreography exactly.

Olivia said she made some changes, but no one could tell what was different, even if they compared it frame by frame.

It was crystal clear who was lying.

Andrew and Madeline weren’t as hot–headed as Noel. At this point, they were starting to have their suspicions.

But since things had come this far, they had no choice but to do their best to protect Olivia’s reputation.

They shot a meaningful look at Thomas.

Thomas walked over to Olivia and stepped in front of the reporters. “The law will decide who’s right and who’s wrong.

“Please give us some space. We’ll release a statement as soon as we’ve investigated everything thoroughly. In the meantime, I ask that you all be careful with what you say.”

But Thomas’s name didn’t mean much there. Otherwise, reporters would’ve backed off when Lucas stepped up earlier.

One reporter shoved his phone right in Olivia’s face, showing her the dance video the actress had just reposted.

She asked, “Miss Sutton, look at this dance. Do you know this girl? Do you still insist this is your original choreography?”

When Olivia saw the girl in the video, her pupils contracted sharply.

Olivia thought, ‘How could it be her?

‘That bitch.

‘She actually had a backup plan!‘

But then Olivia remembered she’d already wiped every bit of surveillance from that dance studio.

She dug her nails into her palm, forcing herself to stay cool.

She looked even more fragile than usual. Her eyes were brimming with tears.

“I do know her,” Olivia said, her voice trembling.

As soon as she said that, the whole place went wild, and the live chat blew up again.

A person wrote: [She actually admitted it!]

Another person wrote: [Wow, even geniuses stoop to plagiarism?]

Someone else wrote: [I’ve been her fan for years, and now I finally see her for who she really is. All my money and love down the drain.]

Even Lucas was frowning now, his eyes fixed on Olivia.

But what Olivia said next turned everyone’s assumptions upside down.

“But we only met once by chance,” Olivia continued.

She looked at the camera with a mix of anger and heartbreak, as if she were questioning that person through the lens.

She said, “That day, I had a sudden burst of inspiration, so I found a nearby dance studio to practice.

“After I finished dancing, I noticed a girl filming me from behind the glass wall.

“Since this dance was meant to be a surprise for everyone, I asked her to keep it a secret.

“She swore she wouldn’t tell anyone, even said she was a fan and asked for my autograph.”

Olivia was breathing rapidly, looking as if she was about to have a panic attack and couldn’t catch her breath.

Lucas hurriedly pulled her into his arms, supporting her by the waist and letting her lean on him for support.

Meanwhile, Thomas blocked the reporters, making sure they couldn’t get any closer.

Olivia let out a bitter, self–mocking laugh, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I never imagined the person who’d betray me would be one of my own fans.

“You begged me to let you keep the video for entertainment, and I let my guard down because I felt sorry for

for you.

“But you went and stole everything I poured my heart into.”

She turned to the reporters. “That day, she poured her heart out to me. Her family was a mess, buried in debt, and she just wanted to make it big through dancing.

“I felt bad for her, so I tried to comfort her and ended up going easy on her.

“But as a dancer and a choreographer, I absolutely refuse to tolerate plagiarism. Everyone here can be my witness.

“No matter how much you think I shouldn’t, and no matter how pitiful she seems, I’m still

going to hold her legally responsible for what she did.”

Lucas saw the pain on her face and couldn’t help thinking, ‘If Roderick were here, he’d never let his girlfriend put up with this kind of crap.’

Then, with everything going on with Natasha lately, Lucas realized he’d barely checked in on Olivia at all.

Right now, he just felt this restless, frustrated feeling he couldn’t shake.

Lucas snapped, his tone harsh. “Move! Are you trying to push her over the edge?”

He was someone who’d always been in a position of power. When he lost his temper, the force of his authority instantly cowed a bunch of the reporters.

The audience and the live chat started to waver, moved by Olivia’s tearful pleas and Lucas’s angry defense.

Did we really blame Olivia for nothing?‘ the viewers wondered.

There were still plenty of things that just didn’t make sense.

The timeline didn’t match her statement. Olivia claimed she’d changed the choreography, yet it was still exactly the same as the original.

But people were ruled by their emotions, especially since Olivia had always had such a spotless reputation.

She had tons of fans and admirers.

Now that their idol was being backed into a corner, some people just couldn’t stay silent

anymore.

A viewer asked: [What if Olivia really got set up? “Chasing the Wind” is such a big deal.

[If a broke student saw it, who’s to say they wouldn’t be tempted to steal it?]

Another person said: [Olivia’s got everything going for her, and there’s no shortage of rivals. Wouldn’t put it past her competitors to pull something like this.]

Someone else said: [Just say her name. It’s Naomi.]

A person wrote: [For real, she’s been getting all the good gigs lately and even stole the lead

role from Olivia.

[Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s got some big shot backing her.]
