Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Serial Face-Slapping! Shannon Everett Is Unworthy

[HOLY SHIT!!! The person Eleanor Yates repeatedly tried to take on as a disciple, only to be rejected, is actually Sienna Everett!!!]

[No wonder Eleanor Yates said she met the highest standards in every way. It’s true! Not only is she gorgeous with a great figure, but her dance foundation is also strong. She’s absolutely flawless!]

[Sienna Everett, the woman that even the renowned teacher Eleanor Yates couldn’t get!]

[So you’re saying, when Eleanor Yates came early to judge the semi-finals and said she’d found a promising talent, she was actually there for Sienna Everett?]

[Whoa, and here I was thinking she came for Shannon Everett...]

[Shannon Everett isn’t worthy! She bribed the judges and cheated—she deserves to be nailed to a pillar of shame!!]

[And don’t forget Wyatt Everett, that fucking bastard!]

Back on the stage.

When Shannon Everett heard Eleanor Yates state with certainty that the person who had repeatedly rejected her was Sienna Everett, she clenched her palms, her nails digging deep into the flesh.

’How could it be...’

’How could it be Sienna Everett!!’

’When Eleanor Yates first said she’d found a promising talent, she wasn’t talking about me, but Sienna Everett...’

’And I was so smug, thinking she was talking about me. How ironic!’

Shannon Everett’s face burned as if she’d been slapped. But what hurt even more was that Eleanor Yates had wanted to take Sienna Everett as a disciple, only to be rejected by her multiple times...

Shannon Everett had once begged Eleanor Yates to take her, but Eleanor had been cold and dismissive, barely giving her the time of day.

But with Sienna Everett, Eleanor Yates was so enthusiastic and appreciative. She wasn’t embarrassed by rejection, nor did she give up when rebuffed. Time and again, she humbled herself, asking only to take Sienna Everett as her disciple...

’How could this be!’

This stark contrast made Shannon Everett so furious it felt like her insides were on fire.

Her gaze toward Sienna Everett seemed to be laced with poison, filled with surging jealousy and hatred.

Backstage, Wyatt Everett was so shocked to hear the news that his pupils dilated.

’The disciple Eleanor Yates couldn’t get was actually Sienna Everett, his own sister...’ 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Wyatt Everett was surprised at first, but then he felt a sense of pride.

’The disciple even the great Eleanor Yates couldn’t get is my own sister! Who wouldn’t be envious or impressed by that!’

’This Sienna Everett... she was making him see her in a new light.’

’His sister wasn’t a total disgrace to the Everett Family after all. If Sienna Everett wanted to return to the family, he would be magnanimous and stop opposing it.’

Wyatt Everett decided he would find Sienna Everett after the competition and tell her he would allow her to return to the Everett Family.

Onstage.

Isabelle Sutton was so excited she nearly jumped. She grabbed Sienna Everett’s arms, her eyes shining. "Sienna! It was you! The disciple Ms. Yates has always wanted to take on is actually you! Oh my god, this is so shocking! But I’m both surprised and yet it makes perfect sense, because you’re just so incredible! No wonder Ms. Yates took a liking to you!"

Sienna Everett felt a little dizzy from the shaking and reached out to steady her. "Isabelle, calm down a little."

Isabelle Sutton’s face was flushed with excitement. "How can I calm down! It’s taking all my self-control not to scream right now! For people like us who dance, this is absolutely earth-shattering news!"

Sienna Everett: "..."

’This girl really can talk a mile a minute.’

It was no wonder Isabelle Sutton was so excited she was babbling; the news was so shocking that even the audience was left reeling, everyone whispering amongst themselves.

Even the host was stunned and forgot to move on with the show.

It was Eleanor Yates who finally raised her microphone, smiling warmly at Sienna Everett on the stage. "When I heard just now that your grandmother’s surname is Norris, and that you learned to dance from her since you were a child, I pretty much understood."

The host snapped back to their senses and quickly asked, "Ms. Yates, what did you understand?"

Eleanor Yates paused for two seconds, her tone filled with reverence. "If that Senior Norris is Sienna Everett’s teacher, then I am indeed not worthy of being her teacher."

Host: "!!!"

The moment she said this, the entire audience was stunned once more.

The live comments instantly exploded.

[!!!! WHAT!! Eleanor Yates actually said she isn’t worthy to be Sienna Everett’s teacher!!]

[Isn’t Ms. Yates being a little too humble?]

[It doesn’t seem like humility. Eleanor Yates’s tone just now was so respectful; she was genuinely expressing that she isn’t worthy of teaching Sienna Everett.]

[Norris... don’t tell me it’s the titan of the dance world, the internationally renowned Senior Norris, Helen Norris!!]

[HOLY SHIT!! Now *that’s* a heavyweight master, the absolute number one in the dance world! Even I, someone who doesn’t know much about dance, have heard her name!!]

[If Sienna Everett’s grandmother really is Helen Norris, then no wonder Eleanor Yates said she wasn’t worthy to be her teacher...]

「At the venue.」

After hearing Eleanor Yates’s words, the host was so stunned their jaw nearly hit the floor. It took them a long moment before they could continue, "Well, Ms. Yates, since Sienna Everett cannot become your final disciple, according to the show’s rules, the offer can be extended to the next person in line, the second-place winner, Shannon Everett. Are you willing to take Shannon Everett as your disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Shannon Everett’s heart leaped with wild joy. She never expected such a windfall.

She had thought she’d lost her chance with Eleanor Yates forever, but in a surprising turn of events, she could now become her final disciple!

Shannon Everett immediately looked toward Eleanor Yates, an eager smile on her face. Her voice was full of passion as she said, "Ms. Yates, I truly admire you. I’ve always hoped to receive your guidance."

But Eleanor Yates only gave her a single cold glance. "Shannon Everett, you are not worthy."

Wh—what?

Shannon Everett froze.

’Eleanor Yates had actually called her unworthy in front of everyone!’

The host, not expecting this turn of events, nearly choked on their own saliva. "Ms. Yates, you..."

Eleanor Yates didn’t even want to look at Shannon Everett again. Her tone was cold. "Someone who tries to get first place through bribery and cheating has a corrupt character. Such a person is not worthy of being my disciple. I’d rather have no one than take on someone subpar."

Those sharp, righteous words made Shannon Everett bite her lower lip so hard it turned white.

’Eleanor Yates had publicly criticized her for having a corrupt character in front of so many people, calling her unworthy and saying she’d rather have no one at all.’

’Wasn’t this just grinding her face into the dirt!’
