Chapter 344

She… She’s Selah Potter!”

A commotion erupted, halting passers-by who directed their gazes toward Selah’s location when one person exclaimed, “Good heavens!

It’s Selah! A dazzling star sighted in the park!”

The crowd swiftly brandished their phones, capturing snapshots of Selah.

Enthusiastic fans even attempted to approach for autographs and group photos, thwarted only by vigilant security guards, relegating them to mere spectators a few yards away.

“Selah, all eyes are on you.

Let’s start,” urged Ruby.

“I… I…” Selah clenched her fists so tightly that her nails sank into her flesh.

Her complexion paled, and her teeth chattered with anxiety.

“Have faith in yourself, Selah.

You’ve got this!” Ruby stood resolute, an insurmountable presence for Selah at that moment.

Ultimately, Selah succumbed, squatting down on the ground in despair.

“I’m sorry, Ms.

Garcia.

I… I can’t do it!”

For five long years, she endured confinement and mistreatment by Andrew.

Each day was haunted by fear, abandoning her artistry in acting and dance.

She was aware her skills had likely atrophied.

Confronted by a multitude, she couldn’t exhibit her vulnerability.

It was momentarily beyond her reach.

Ruby sighed, feeling she could have overestimated Selah’s resolve.

Should Selah persist with this mindset, tomorrow’s audition seemed an insurmountable hurdle.

Defeating Camille’s favored student, Kristy, appeared to be an implausible feat.

Selah’s public appearance sparked a viral storm, flooding the internet.

“Selah surfaces at the city park, gathering a throng of followers “Selah succumbs due to social anxiety and collapses on the ground!!”

“Concerns mount over Selah’s state of mind!”

News bulletins cascaded, triggering fervent discussions among netizens.

“What’s Selah thinking? Can she even perform at tomorrow’s audition?”

“Doubtful.

If she couldn’t face fans at the park, how can she excel under the watch of millions of viewers?”

“Returning to the limelight, she shouldn’t wallow in sentimentality, disappointing her fans!”

At that moment, Kristy’s new tweet surfaced…

“While withdrawals are admissible in auditions, please don’t lose hope.

Even as the sole contender, I’ll earnestly strive for recognition! Regrettably, I won’t have the chance to learn from Selah!”

The comments section brimmed with her followers’ support.

“Kristy, our star! She’s diligently prepared for this audition!”
