Chapter 81

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

Chapter 82

Rebecca could not focus in class all day.One moment, she thought about Remi's paintings. The next, Piotr's bicycle came to mind. A growing realization took hold: she had badly underestimated Oscar.When she first met Oscar, he had looked miserable.His family had reclaimed the Chamberlain surname. His sisters called him useless, a nobody fit for nothing but laundry and cooking. He had spent years in a family as powerful as the Chamberlains and seemed to have achieved nothing at all.But after everything that had happened, none of that felt real anymore. The day he drove off Dargan, Rebecca was almost certain she had seen that woman kneel to him.And what excuse had he given afterward? He had claimed she had mistaken him for the Chamberlain heir. The explanation sounded absurd.That woman had clearly acted against the Chamberlains. Why would she show such respect to one of their heirs?The next time Rebecca saw her, Oscar said the woman had only tried to make amends for what Dar

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

Chapter 84

As showtime approached, the atmosphere inside the stadium grew increasingly charged.Some people mocked, some praised, and others came only for the spectacle.A concert was never just a singer's sacred ground. It was a stage for self-display, a place to interact with fans, reinforce an image, and even salvage the reputation of the brands she endorsed.Freya had not come tonight for simple reasons. As a Chamberlain, she was meant to perform freely at this concert. However, the Chamberlain Group had taken too many hits recently, and she had no choice but to agree to Amara's request.That was why the Chamberlain Group branding covered the entire venue."What's with all these banners? Who are they even for? Everyone already knows you're a Chamberlain princess.""Seriously. If it's a concert, why not just sing? What is this, a competition over packaging and status?"Melanie sensed that something about the crowd was off, but she did not dwell on it. She only wanted a break from the pr

Chapter 85

"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

Chapter 86

The crowd's roar sent Freya's blood surging.Countless people were waiting for her new songs.She admitted it to herself. The new tracks were not as strong as those on her first album. But those earlier songs had come from a sudden burst of inspiration, the kind that struck by chance. She might only have a handful like that in her entire life.The director could not use her debut peak to dismiss everything she had done since. The new songs had their own strengths.The chanting grew louder. At the same time, the voices in her earpiece sharpened and turned frantic."Freya, stay calm. Calm down. Your new songs aren't all bad, but this isn't the right setting for them.""Why sugarcoat it? Those new songs are garbage.""If she sings them, this concert is over."Freya's relationship with the production team had never matched that of other singers.She was a young Chamberlain heiress. The moment she entered the industry, she gained access to resources no one else could touch. This di

Chapter 87

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

Chapter 88

The moment Freya finished speaking, the director backstage shut his eyes in despair. "Call Miss Bella. Have her send people to keep order."If only one song had gone badly, he might still have salvaged Freya's image. But now she was marching straight off a cliff and insisting on singing more. It was over.He did not want to imagine how the crowd would react after she finished. One thing, however, was certain. It would not be anything he wanted to see.…By the time Freya began singing again, Oscar had already arrived at a phone store. He had just started asking a salesclerk about the newest models when he noticed several employees huddled around a phone, pointing at the screen and chattering.'What's going on?' Curious, Oscar stepped closer. The person on the screen looked very familiar.Oscar stood behind them and watched intently. Before long, the corner of his mouth lifted. 'Isn't that Freya? She's holding another concert?'Like the rest of the Chamberlain sisters, Freya shar

Chapter 89

"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

Chapter 90

Bella was already furious. She had fallen out with Amara over Jason. Now Amara wanted her back because of Freya's mess, and Bella refused. It was only a concert. The Chamberlain family could handle it without her.But when she saw the flood of comments on the livestream, people cursing Freya, she could not stand it. That was her sister.Under normal circumstances, Bella felt guilty even raising her voice at her.Then she saw Oscar standing there, wearing a mocking, satisfied smile. That was the last straw.The accusation burst out before she could stop it, her finger nearly jabbing his forehead.The sight of her anger only widened Oscar's smile. "Of course. If Freya's having a bad day, I'm thrilled. Too bad it isn't you. If it were, I'd be setting off fireworks."Bella's temper snapped.How had Oscar changed so much? Back in the Chamberlain family, he had been as obedient as a puppy. The moment he left, he turned cold and ruthless."Why you—"Oscar brushed her hand aside. "Wha
