With Jessica Lawson's prior example as a lesson, no one was foolish enough to look for trouble.
After the training ended, Sparkle grabbed her things and left.
Vivian called after her, "Today marks the first day of official training. From now on, we'll be spending lots of time together, and friction is inevitable. To strengthen our bond, I'll host everyone tonight for some fun."
Upon hearing this, the others cheered excitedly.
However, Sparkle frowned, "Sorry, I have plans tonight."
"Sparkle, you must attend."
Tonight's plan was entirely for her; Vivian wouldn't let Sparkle slip away.
"I refuse."
"You don't have the right to refuse. You and Linda Hancock's group must be present tonight, or you'll be considered to have forfeited the competition."
"Then I'll forfeit."
Vivian sneered, "Because Sparkle forfeits, all six members of her group will be disqualified."
The others were anxious, "Why? We worked hard to earn the chance to compete in this contest."
