Chapter 118

Author: Sienna Yates
Kelly offered an awkward, embarrassed smile as she lowered her head and apologized. "I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time. I promise, it won't happen again."

The medical staff, seeing how quickly she admitted fault, decided not to press the issue.

Watching all this unfold, Sharon couldn't help but feel a kind of twisted admiration for her. Kelly had a rare talent. She could appear delicate to draw sympathy, and steer the crowd in her favor with just the right expressions. And if things turned against her, she'd bend without breaking, apologize without hesitation.

Her skin was so thick, others would feel secondhand embarrassment on her behalf. But she remained perfectly composed, even smiling as she clung to the image she'd built for herself.

That was how she managed to keep both Carter and Theo tightly in her grasp.

The ambulance arrived at the nearby hospital. Theo was rushed into the emergency room.

Sharon sat with Matty on a bench in the corridor. They waited quietly.

    Just thinking about how Sharon had pushed her to this level of humiliation made Madeline want to slap her—hard, fast, and more than once.But with everyone watching, she had no choice but to choke it down.She'd weathered worse. Drawing in several deep breaths, Madeline forced herself to stay calm. At this point, composure was the only armor she had left. She knew full well: if word of this scene spread, the carefully polished image she'd spent years building would go up in flames.All because of Sharon. That infuriating troublemaker.Finally, she spoke."Sharon, Theo has been preparing for this showcase for a long time. Just because you weren't asked to accompany him onstage doesn't mean you had to sabotage it. And let's be real here—you've got no family background, no impressive education, and not a single real skill. What did you expect us to do? Parade you up there with Theo and make fools of ourselves?"Every word hit like a dart. In just a few sentences, she laid Sharon bar

    "You've never heard of me? Well, I've never heard of you either," Wendy said coolly, shooting Kelly a glance. "You think Sharon's as average as you? Please. She skipped grades. By the time you were even at Bell University, she might've already graduated."Nate doubled over laughing. "Oh wow, keep it coming! Brag all you want—lying's not a crime, right? In that case, I was the King of England in a past life. You buying that?"Wendy bristled, ready to fire back, but Sharon gently reached out and pulled her by the arm."Matty's performance is more important," Sharon said softly.That pulled Wendy back. She exhaled and nodded. "Fine. I don't have time to argue with you people. Whether she graduated from Bell or not doesn't change the fact that she ruined Sharon's dress. But we've already figured out a solution. Kelly and Sharon are about the same size. Kelly can take off her dress so Sharon can—"Before she could finish, Nate suddenly lit up like he'd solved a major mystery. He pointe

    In Matty's waiting room, Xavier and Matty had already gotten the news. Along with Wendy, they were now huddled around Sharon.Wendy scowled at the coffee stain on Sharon's dress, her voice rising with anger."Kelly is seriously disgusting. She's jealous of Sharon's looks, so she dumped coffee all over her. When you've got no talent, I guess cheap tricks are your only move. She's that scared Sharon's going to steal the spotlight..."Before she could finish, a voice cut in from behind, thick with sarcasm. It was Nate."Oh please, overshadowed by a housewife? That's rich. Kelly graduated from Bell University Conservatory of Music, and you're seriously saying she's not talented?"Wendy rolled her eyes—she'd heard that same line from Nate too many times to count. "So what if she graduated from Bell? So did I."Bell University—one of the top five arts schools in the world. A prestigious conservatory in Marcentine, known for producing true musicians and artists—not performers.They did

    "Kelly, stop using Theo like he's your get-out-of-jail-free card. If you really care about him, then start setting a good example—instead of standing here making excuses and dodging responsibility."The crowd, having seen it all, wasn't swayed by Kelly's tears or her helpless expression. Not a trace of sympathy showed on their faces. If anything, people exchanged glances filled with quiet disdain and whispered among themselves.They thought about it from their own point of view: if someone ruined their carefully prepared performance outfit right before a major competition, they'd be furious too.Sure, it made sense to care about your own child's competition results. But did that give anyone the right to ruin someone else's? Were other people's children any less important?A simple "I didn't mean to" didn't magically undo the damage. What kind of fantasy world did she think she was living in? Did she really believe the world was full of saints?Seeing the shift in atmosphere, Kelly

    Kelly's face turned pale, her expression full of flustered panic. She frantically dug tissues out of her purse."Sharon, I'm so sorry… Let me clean it up for you."But the more she dabbed at the fabric, the more the coffee stain spread across the white dress.Sharon grabbed her wrist mid-motion and pushed her hand away. "What are you doing?"Thrown off balance, Kelly stumbled backward and fell to the carpet with a startled cry."Ah!"The commotion drew attention—people turned to look, conversations came to a halt.Sitting awkwardly on the plush carpet, Kelly looked up with teary eyes, her body trembling slightly."Sharon, I'm really sorry… I didn't mean for that to happen."Sharon glanced down at her dress, now marred with dark brown stains, and let out a quiet, biting laugh. "Right. Not on purpose—you mean completely intentional.""No, really, it's a misunderstanding," Kelly said, lowering her head, voice soft and pitiful. "I was just handing you the coffee… I know you've alw

    Kelly could feel it—clear as day. Carter was drifting away from her.But it was Nate who spoke up first."That Shaluna violin sitting in Sharon's hands is a total waste of a national treasure! Carter, just give it to Kelly already. What's the holdup? You and Sharon are married—what's hers is yours. And you know Kelly doesn't have much time left. She's admired Shayla her whole life. All she wants is to play one concert with that violin. Just one. It's only a few days—we're not asking to keep it forever. Does Sharon really need to be so stingy? She wants money, right? We'll pay her. A woman who'd leave her own kid behind for cash? Toss her a hundred thousand and she'll probably sprint over to hand us the violin herself."Carter's eyes flickered. Sharon had mentioned money. More than once.Maybe Nate was right. Maybe she was just waiting for a better offer.…In the backstage dressing room, Wendy looked around, eyes wide with wonder, awe practically leaking from her voice."No wond
