Juliana appeared poised and generous, but in reality, she was waiting to see Cecilia make a fool of herself. 

With so many people present, Juliana believed that Cecilia wouldn’t dare to break the rules and swap numbers with her. Cecilia, noticing Juliana’s concealed delight, deftly snatched the number card from Juliana’s hand and replaced it with her own. “Well, if you’re that sincere, I’ll graciously accept your offer.” Cecilia thought, “If you’re such a fan of theatrics, then I’ll let you put on the show of your life!” 

Juliana stared in disbelief at the number card now in her hand. 

Although she was confident in her singing abilities, she would be at a disadvantage if she were the last to perform. 

Even if she emerged victorious, she couldn’t outshine the others. 

This was not the outcome she had in mind! 

Just as Juliana was about to use the competition rules as an excuse to demand her number back from Cecilia, Cecilia beat her to it. 

Cecilia turned to Calvin and asked, “Mr. Yates, Juliana willingly requested a number exchange. This shouldn’t be considered a rule violation, right?” 

Calvin saw through Juliana’s attempt to put on a show but failed miserably. 

He offered a faint smile, “When it’s a mutual agreement, it doesn’t count as a violation.” 

Hearing this, Juliana felt like she might explode. 

But it was too late to change the situation, so Juliana gritted her teeth and pretended to be gracious.

“Ceci, don’t be nervous. Since I agreed to swap numbers, I won’t ask for it back.” 

Cecilia beamed, “Thank you, Julia. I’ll make sure to give a performance that lives up to the number you’ve given me.” 

Watching Cecilia’s triumphant smile, Juliana wished she could wipe it off Cecilia’s face. 

Soon, the competition began. 

Calvin chose a well–known traditional–style song as the theme. There was no background music; it was an a cappella performance. 

Singing without accompaniment tested vocal skills, and this traditional–style song had challenging opera singing techniques. 

The first contestant was too nervous and lacked the necessary skill, leaving the stage before completing the song, and earning a score of 0. 

The second contestant fared better but had a voice too heavy for the traditional–style song, receiving a score of 65. 

Cecilia was the third to perform. 

She didn’t listen to songs much, but she had heard the popular traditional-style songs that had gone viral online. 

However, she didn’t start singing immediately. Instead, she flawlessly imitated the opening flute melody, as if a real flutist were playing. 

This immediately stunned the entire audience! 

Even Calvin, who was ment*lly prepared, displayed a surprised expression. 

Not to mention Juliana, whose eyes nearly popped out of her head. 

Jeremiah and Jayden were equally astonished at Cecilia’s astounding vocal mimicry.

After she finished mimicking the prelude, Cecilia began singing the lyrics, and surprisingly, the background music started playing too. 

In other words, Cecilia sang the song while simultaneously mimicking the background music, and it blended seamlessly. 

Could a human do that? 

When her delicate vocal nuances filled the entire auditorium, everyone held their breath, afraid to disrupt Cecilia. 

As the final note resonated, the auditorium fell into an eerie silence, akin to a hushed chicken coop. 

After a long pause, Calvin came back to his senses and applauded. 

Following his lead, thunderous applause filled the auditorium, lasting for a long time. 

And numerous comments flooded the journalists‘ live–streaming channels.
