With that, Chloe stepped out of the elevator—and stopped short when she saw the man standing outside.

Xavier Grayson. What was he doing here?

He stood there with an air of noble aloofness, draped in a gray overcoat, his brows carrying a hint of coldness that made him seem impossibly distant.

Just then, Scarlett Johnson's voice came from behind her. "Miss Bishop, you should know who I'm talking about. I hope your blessing is sincere."

Chloe had blocked Scarlett Johnson's line of sight, so she ha

    Truth be told, Xavier Grayson didn't fully understand why he was here either. Just three days ago, the woman on that stage had dumped him.He told himself he'd come mostly out of concern—after all, she was still pregnant. He was afraid something might happen to her. That was all. It definitely wasn't because he wanted to see her. Definitely not...At that moment, the camera gave each of them—Xavier Grayson, Jin, Liam Martin, and Justin Taylor—a close-up. The online comments erupted again:"Oh my god—all of Chloe Bishop's rumored boyfriends are here!""No, no, no—did the person above forget about Seth Rollins?""They're definitely here for Chloe Bishop. None of them showed up in the previous episodes. And each one is more handsome than the last!""For sure. I can practically smell the money from here. The big shots who showed up today are literal walking money-printers. So jealous of the women at the venue tonight.""Also, Chloe Bishop is absolutely stunning. Even I—a woman—feel my hea

    Gwen Grayson watched the stage, her profile delicate and serene.She had a sweet, cute face—especially when smiled, her warmth was infectious. Truth be told, being with her had never been unpleasant.Since they'd parted, though, she seemed to have grown much quieter.Nora Fatehi caught Tayne Marsh's gaze and immediately shifted to block his view, turning to face him with a tight, forced smile and a hint of warning in her eyes.Tayne Marsh curled his lips coldly and calmly looked away, his attention returning to Ava Adam on stage.Ava Adam's expression wasn't particularly pleased. Though Enna had heaped praise on her, and Enna said she'd improved since last time, Qasim remarked that her expressiveness still fell short of Scarlett Johnson's.Every judges' comment influenced the audience votes. Ava Adam hadn't expected to win over Enna, only to have Qasim show up and throw a wrench in things.Meanwhile, the director signaled Chloe Bishop to get ready—she was scheduled to go first in the

    After finishing her makeup, Chloe Bishop sat down for an interview with the production team.When the staff member asked who she would choose as her opponent, Chloe Bishop answered without hesitation, "Ava Adam."The staff member asked, "Why?"Chloe Bishop replied very seriously, "She said she wanted a fair and square competition with me."Soon, it was 8 PM. Chloe Bishop and the other two challengers were arranged in the same waiting room, which had cameras installed. They could watch the stage through a monitor.The first dancer took the stage—she performed a routine with solid fundamentals, but the judges gave her only modest praise.Then came the second, the third...Since it was solo dancing, the standards were extremely demanding. Three contestants came and went without any real surprises—until Scarlett Johnson appeared.Dressed in a flowing white gown, Scarlett Johnson stood gracefully at center stage and began to dance.When still, she was like a white lotus untouched by mud in

    Chloe Bishop just wanted to dance and leave—she didn't want any extra drama.Qasim immediately cleared his throat and said sternly, "Why are you only arriving now? Hurry up and get on stage for rehearsal. Check the lighting and see if anything needs adjusting. This is live, so don't mess up—wouldn't want to lower the show's standards."Enna quickly added, "Don't think you can skip rehearsal just because you're talented. I've sung your praises plenty—don't embarrass me. Now go with the director.""Yes, yes, I'm going right away."Chloe Bishop nodded repeatedly and followed the assistant director onto the stage.Some of the dancers wanted to sneak a peek at her skills, but the director and Enna immediately stopped them and told them to go get changed and do their makeup instead.Her rehearsal drew nothing but praise from the crew. To achieve the atmosphere she wanted, she worked with the lighting team to adjust a few cues.The result was absolutely stunning.At 7 PM, the audience began

    And so, the day of the challenge round arrived.Chloe Bishop dug out her old dance costume from the bottom of her chest, had the servants dry-clean and press it. When she put it on, it fit perfectly—hugging every line of her figure flawlessly.She stood before the mirror. The reflection staring back no longer had the youthful innocence of her sixteen-year-old self. Her body was fuller now, more womanly. Clad in the red-and-white costume, she carried both grace and presence.That version of her from six years ago felt impossibly distant—like something from another lifetime. Back then, she'd just met Liam Martin. She'd danced this piece for him.And now, everything had changed.Nora Fatehi and Gwen Grayson arrived early, and the three of them headed to the Peach Blossom Cup venue together.The competition was a grand affair—huge sums had been poured into the stage production alone. From afar, the dazzling lights already gleamed with spectacular brilliance.Among variety shows, the Peach

    The low wooden gate remained shut, and noonio dared to push it open. Everyone knew the rules—they lined up in order of arrival.At that moment, the girl dancing outside the fence was the one who'd just come of age. Her movements were graceful, her foundation solid. But she'd barely gotten through a few steps before Qasim's voice drifted from inside: "Go back."Hearing that, the girl refused to give up and kept dancing—only to twist her ankle. She sat clutching her injured foot, tears streaming down her face.Qasim let out a soft sigh. "Your fundamentals are decent, but that's all they are. If you truly love dance, being a teacher would suit you well enough. Go on home."The next few applicants also earned nothing but shakes of his head.Then the six-year-old boy stepped forward. After a few moves, Qasim didn't tell him to leave—he told him to come in.His parents were overjoyed.Qasim was practically a national treasure in the dance world. If their son could become his disciple, guide

    The False ReportThe strange thing was that even though Xavier had clearly shot the intruder, he didn't capture him. Instead, he intentionally let the man run away. The personal guards were completely puzzled by this decision, but not a single one of them had the courage to ask why.Back at the Mid

    he Empty CouchMore than anything, the thick, manufactured atmosphere inside the dining hall filled Xavier Grayson with a profound sense of irritation.When he used to live here with Chloe Bishop, he had never experienced a single fraction of this suffocating discomfort. Back then, they had similar

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t

    “Where am I?”Chloe Bishop bolted upright, her head spinning with a sickening heaviness. The room was cold, sterile, and completely unfamiliar. She scrambled to get out of bed, her heart hammering against her ribs. She couldn't be here. Tomorrow was her wedding day—the day she would finally marry L
