" I object ! " Elsa stood abruptly , her voice ringing clear and sharp . " That dance was choreographed by me . It wasn't plagiarism . " The judge turned slightly and signaled the bailiff . " Defendant , please focus on the time of the incident . " In an instant- Ripples shimmered across the massive screen . It was late at night . The dance studio shone brightly under the lights . Elsa was practicing alone in front of the mirror . " Five , six , seven , eight… okay , turn … She murmured the counts under her breath . Her dance shoes were heavily worn at the toes . But she didn't seem to notice . She remained wholly absorbed in the routine . At some point , two figures appeared in the reflection . Yulia leaned leisurely against the doorway , arms crossed , voice far from friendly . " Elsa , this time slot is mine . " Startled , Elsa hurried to pause the music . She stood frozen , unsure what to say . After a beat , she finally spoke , " But I signed up for this time . It's on the schedule . " She bit her lip . She was asserting her right , but for some reason , her chest felt tight . " It's been changed , " Yulia said coolly . " What do you mean ? " Yulia raised an eyebrow , amused . " Quinn didn't tell you ? I went to the principal . He agreed to make this a private rehearsal space . " She wiggled her phone . On the screen was a selfie of her and Quinn , arms linked with Mandy . The location showed : principal's office . In the livestream , audience reactions started to shift . " Isn't that an abuse of privilege ? " " Please She's the Moore family's golden girl's bestie . It's just a dance room . " " Right ? If you want one too , go get your own special access ." With no choice , Elsa began packing up her bag . In her distraction , she forgot the digital camera tucked away in the corner . The memory fast - forwarded to the dance competition , two weeks later , Backstage . Elsa adjusted her headpiece in the dressing mirror Yulia was performing Rising Phoenix on stage as the opener . The music drifted backstage , and Elsa froze . That was the track she'd choreographed for the past two months . How was it being used in Yulia's routine ? Elsa couldn't even recall how she got through the rest of the performance . The host's voice rang out . Next up : Elsa performing Metamorphosis " Gasps rippled through the venue . P But as the performance unfolded , it became clear - Elsa's choreography overlapped with Yulia's by nearly eighty percent . Outside the memory . Yulia slammed the table . " Fake ! That video is totally fake ! " At that moment- The judge brought up the school's system records . " According to the reservation logs , the studio from 8 to 10 p.m. that night was indeed booked under Elsa's name . " " So what ?! " Yulia's voice pierced the courtroom . A new video began playing on the screen . It was surveillance footage from the school . Late at night , someone entered the empty studio and removed the memory card from a camera . Offscreen . Quinn's voice could be heard laughing . " Hurry up , stop showing off . Yulia's normally perfect hair was a mess - nothing like her polished appearance . " I didn't do that ! It's AI face - swapping ! " she shouted . But the prosecution was ready . As soon as Yulia objected , two spectrograms appeared midair . An expert stepped up to the microphone . " After analysis , the voiceprint in the video matches Ms. Yulia's with 99.8 % certainty . " This confirms the footage is authentic ." " No ! That's not me ! " Yulia was on the verge of a breakdown . Court officers rushed to restrain her . The judge slammed the gavel . " Silence in court . Any further outbursts will be treated as obstruction of justice . " At the same time , the livestream chat exploded . " So much for Yulia being some Spring Festival Gala - level star . Guess all her talent was stolen . " " Kick her out ! She doesn't deserve the stage ! " " Apologize You fooled us for so long ! " " Okay yeah , I admit - 1 went too hard on Elsa just now ." Bang The gavel dropped again . The courtroom fell silent Everyone thought the trial was over But suddenly , the Moore family's lawyer . Mr Mason , stood and raised a folder . P. " Elsa is accused of repeatedly stealing Quinn's personal property , including a blue diamond necklace worth over a million . " The chat exploded again . " You've got to be kidding me ! Again ?! " " Now they're just throwing mud ." " They won't stop until they've destroyed Elsa ! " " The Moore family are leeches . This is disgusting . " A flicker of confusion passed over Elsa's face . " I didn't … " Peter scoffed at her pale expression . " Still pretending ? You got caught red - handed stealing Quinn's necklace . " " You begged us not to call the cops . Already forgot ? " " Objection ! " The defense attorney shot to his feet . His gaze locked on Peter , voice ringing out firm and clear . " Mr. Peter , the courtroom is not your personal stage for petty vengeance . " outh me The judge raised a hand to signal silence and turned to Elsa . " If you continue the memory trial , your body may not withstand the strain … " He paused , looking at her with concern . " Do you consent to proceed ? " Elsa closed her eyes . A single tear slid down her cheek . She took a long , deep breath . " … I do . " The screen came alive once more . The memory opened at a celebration banquet , The Moore family's villa glowed with luxury . Quinn wore a haute couture gown , her neck adorned with a dazzling blue diamond necklace . She strolled over , champagne in hand . Elsa sat curled in the corner , silent and withdrawn . " Why are you hiding , Elsa ? " Quinn's hand rose to her necklace . She flaunted the gift in front of Elsa , Elsa's fingers tightened around her dress . Head lowered , she said nothing . Then Quinn raised her voice . Oh , I heard you got first in the class again ? That's too bad .. " She leaned close to Elsa's ear . " I only ranked tenth , and I got an entire blue diamond set . You ? No matter how well you score … . " Pd . When Technology Proves the Wronged Heiress Innocent Quinn watched her stumbling retreat with slow satisfaction , patting down her skirt with care . " What , you're done already ? The real show's just getting started … " Meanwhile- A memory from Quinn had just been extracted . That night- Barefoot , Quinn slipped into Elsa's room . She took the blue diamond necklace from her own velvet jewelry box , a faint smile on her lips , and stuffed it deep into Elsa's drawer . Just as she turned to leave , a sliver of light cut through the door . " What are you doing ? " Peter stood there squinting . Quinn froze , then put on a pitiful expression . " Peter … Elsa stole my necklace … I - I just wanted to take it back quietly . Please don't tell Mom and Dad . " She clung to his sleeve , tears falling freely . " If Elsa gets kicked out … I'll only have you left . " Peter stared at the necklace in the drawer . He scratched his head , agitated . " If this gets out , won't we all be in trouble ? " " Maybe … maybe we should just tell Mom and Dad ? " Quinn looked up sharply and met his eyes . That was exactly what she was waiting for . He hadn't let her down . The memory stopped there and jumped to the next day. Bang ! Felix kicked open Elsa's bedroom door . She'd been reading and looked up , startled , Before she could speak , Felix grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into the living room . The blur diamond necklace was yanked from her drawer . Mandy's eyes flared with rage . She hadn't expected it . Elsa had actually stolen something ! Mandy grabbed the nearest vase and hurled it at Elsa . " You ungrateful brat ! You even dare steal from Quinn ?! " 4 wasn't me . Elsa cradled her bruised arm and shrank back , only for Peter to block her path He glared at her coldly , voice dripping with sarcasm . " Still playing innocent ? We found it in your room . What , you think you fan lie your way out of this too ? " The comments were blowing up .
