Sharon turned around and saw Theo, Carter, and Kelly standing not far away. Nate stood beside them. He had come along to lend support.In Nate's hand were two violins: one belonging to Kelly, the other to Theo.Kelly tilted her head, looking up at Carter with a face full of surprise. "Carter, Sharon plays the violin too? How come you and Theo never mentioned that before?"Nate let out a short, mocking laugh. "She's just copying Kelly, that's all. Probably thought Kelly looked too beautiful playing the violin and decided to mimic her. Kelly was a renowned musical talent back at Bell University. No matter how hard Sharon tries, she won't even come close to a tenth of what Kelly can do. And if she hadn't purposely dressed like Kelly back then, Carter never would've mistaken her for—"Before he could finish, Kelly quickly interrupted, "That's enough, Nate. Theo's right here. Don't say such things."Nate clicked his tongue and fell silent, though his displeasure still hung thick in the

"That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!" Nate burst out laughing, nearly tearing up. "You're seriously trying to say she's some hidden violin prodigy? What is this, a fantasy novel? Have you completely lost your mind?"Wendy looked ready to explode. She stepped forward, about to go off, but Sharon held her back. "Let it go, Wendy. The performance is about to start. He's not worth it."Wendy fumed. "That guy's seriously messed up in the head."Sharon replied calmly, "Maybe he picked up something from someone close to him—a terminal case of stupidity clouding his judgment."Wendy immediately switched to a mock-scared expression. "Then I better keep my distance. What if he trips in front of me and blames me for it? Come on, Sharon, Matty, let's go."She knew Sharon and Matty were about to perform. Starting a fight now would just throw them off—not worth it at all.Xavier's lips curled into a faint smirk. "Well, I'll be going too. And hey, don't forget to grab a pair of glasse

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

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

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
