Katrina couldn’t hold back any longer and stepped forward, her voice sharp with indignation.
“Who told you Star only finished middle school? So you see some random comment online and just twist it however you like?
Let me set the record straight: not only did Star not drop out after middle school, she actually graduated from the Neo-Vespera University School of Music and Arts—the same alma mater as Lauretta.
Raven Williams, the pride of Neo-Vespera, is still featured on their Hall of Fame. Why don’t you go do some actual research, or ask the Williams family if Star used to go by Raven?
You’re so quick to parrot rumors about her education, but why not mention that she’s a violin prodigy? Her victory over Harry was all over the news, wasn’t it?
Your so-called idol is in the same circles—could she ever beat Harry? I doubt it. If anything, she’d be begging Harry for lessons.”
The person froze, face paling as she struggled to come up with a retort.
Someone else piped up, “Sure, she’s good at the violin, but so what? She’s still a divorced woman with a kid. How can she compete with Aurora?”
Normally, Wendy was quiet, but her tongue was as sharp as a blade. She scoffed, “And what’s so disgraceful about being divorced with a child? Like it’s some unspeakable crime?
Since we’re all here, why don’t we make it official: Is your family so perfect that no one will ever get divorced or have kids out of wedlock? If it ever happens, you’d better make sure none of you ever show your faces in public again. You said it—now stick to it.”
The group was left speechless, unable to argue back.
