Nine Ungrateful Sisters のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Because the young men moved so carefully and so lightly, it looked as if they feared they might damage the bicycle just by touching it."It's just a bike. Do you really need to make such a big deal out of it?"The moment Melanie spoke, several young men turned around."What do you know?""If it were an ordinary bike, would we even give it a second look?""This bike is different. I'm pretty sure Piotr, that famous craftsman overseas, hand-built it. The materials are special too.""Do you know how much the last bike he made sold for at auction? 20,000,000 dollars."At that, Melanie clapped a hand over her mouth. "No way. A bicycle can cost that much?"Rebecca's eyes widened as well. No matter how she looked at it, the bicycle was exactly like the one she had ridden to school that morning."So ignorant.""Piotr's craftsmanship is world-class. Add those rare materials, and of course it's valuable. I heard one even used meteorite metal."That brightened Melanie at once. She grabb

Rebecca's bike handling had already grown rusty after so long away from riding. Under so many watchful eyes, it only got worse. Every wobble made the young men around her hearts jump.A bicycle worth tens of millions, and she rode it like that?At last, when Rebecca wobbled her way to the school gate, someone could not take it anymore. "Hey, how about you ride with me instead? I'll put the bike in the back. It won't delay your concert."Rebecca recognized him. He was the son of one of the school board members. He drove a flashy Ferrari and stood as the dream prince of half the girls at school."Is that really okay? Your trunk is so small." Melanie sounded uncertain."That's not a problem. Come on, get in."The young man hopped out before Rebecca could refuse. He hoisted her bicycle into the back, then opened the car door for her.Rebecca fell silent for two seconds, then got in.The young man looked delighted. He ran his hand over the bicycle a few times, unable to resist, befo

"But how did he get a ticket in the first three rows? Weren't those presale only?" Melanie lingered on the question for only a moment before turning her attention back to the stage.At a concert, the audience's favorite segment was always the random lucky fan. Whether the person could keep up with the singer or ended up howling like a dying cat, it always made for a memorable moment.Only Rebecca looked around. She glanced at the people in the first two rows, then instinctively shrank back and grabbed Melanie's arm. She hoped that when the time came, she would be able to stay calm.From where she sat, the young men who had been near her earlier were now all seated in the front rows. If those seats were not rigged somehow, she would never believe it.Onstage, Freya began interacting with the lucky audience member. "All right, sir. May I ask your name?"Preston waved both hands, clearly thrilled. "Hello, everyone. The name's Lambert. Preston Lambert.""All right, Mr. Lambert. How l

Freya believed that once the song left her lips, the audience would be stunned.She glanced at the crowd and gave a small, satisfied nod. 'Just as expected. They're all shocked. Every mouth is hanging open. Yes. That's the look. Pure awe.'She was about to continue when a shout blasted through the speakers. "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!"She had no choice but to cut herself off. Anger flashed in her eyes.Who dared interrupt her performance?Only then did she remember the audience member she had invited onstage. He was still there. He was the one shouting at her to stop."Mr. Lambert, this is a new song. I assumed you wouldn't know it, so I didn't include you." Her tone sharpened. "What exactly are you doing?"Disbelief spread across Preston's face. "Princess Freya, that was your new song?"Freya frowned. "Yes."At least she was certain of one thing. The song was completely original.Preston looked stricken. "And this is really the new song you poured your heart into for us

"I said I'm not coming back. Not unless Jason apologizes to me, and I mean a real apology.""What, without me around, you people can't even keep Freya safe?"Everyone turned toward the entrance. Bella stood there in workout clothes, fury written across her face as she ended the call. A web of cracks spread across her phone screen, leaving it barely functional."Boss, get me a new phone."As expected, she started issuing orders the moment she stepped inside.Oscar stood behind the store clerks. Bella did not spare him a glance. Her attention went straight to the phones.One of the employees hurried over to assist her. "Of course, right away."The others remained focused on the livestream."It's happening, it's happening. The Silverton authorities are on-site now.""What a shame. We missed the best part.""I'm dying. This Freya situation is hilarious. First time I've ever seen a singer get rejected by her own crowd before the concert even finished.""Seriously. She needed the
