Natasha tly refused, “No need.”

Thomas patiently exined, “Security is tight today. Without a ticket or invitation, you won’t get in.”
Olivia’s fame had attracted a massive fan base, which inevitably included some obsessive
fans.
After that incident where a male fan rushed the stage and tried to hug her, the rk family went above and beyond to ensure Olivia’s safety at every performance.
This time, since her future was on the line, they had to make sure there was zero room for
error.
Thomas nced at Alexei, silently hoping he’d talk some sense into Natasha and get her to stop messing around.
They were already drawing attention by blocking the entrance like this.
But Alexei, usually the center of attention, just smirked faintly and stood there, content to be the backdrop.
Today, he wanted to remain a silent essory.
Natasha nced at the rk family, who were all on edge, a faint, teasing smile on her lips. “Did I ever say I was here for Olivia’s show?”
Thomas was stunned. “But there’s only one performance at the theater today.”
Even if there were several venues, they’d never let the shows ovep anyway.
A clear and flirtatious voice rang out from behind the rk family, right at the theater entrance, “I’ve seen people fight over parents, money, and roles.
‘However, I have never seen anyone scramble for a spot just to visit backstage.”
Everyone turned to look.
Naomi was there, dressed in her dance practice clothes and drenched in sweat, obviously having dashed over.
She leaned against a pir, catching her breath while tossing out her teasingments.
She’d thought the distinguished guests would use the VIP entrance, but she had guessed
5:25 pm ￡
wrong. Once she got the word, she rushed straight over.

Now that she’d run into this drama, there was no way she wasn’t going to milk it for all it was
worth.
Every single rk family member here was her enemy.
If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have spent all this time getting pushed around by Olivia in the dance troupe.
Now that she finally had a shot at payback, she was going <i>to </i>throw some shade and get a few sarcastic digs in.
She’d already found out that her mysterious backer was actually Natasha’s close friend.
That backer was propping her up to go head–to–head with Olivia.
At a moment like this, she had to make sure she was on the right team.
Natasha smiled and handed over the bouquet. “Sorry, I’ve got something going on tomorrow, so I can’t make it then.
“I had to drop by today to check in with you. Break a leg.”
Naomi grinned as she epted the bouquet.
“It means a lot that you still think of us, Miss rk. If it weren’t for you, our show wouldn’t have gone so smoothly,” she said.
There was a genuine warmth in her voice as she spoke.
Olivia kept ying dirty tricks, one after another.
The investor had been out of the countrytely, so Naomi was told to contact Natasha directly and just do whatever she said, <fn846e> For more chapters visit find?novel</fn846e>
But before she could even get started, Natasha had already stepped in to help.
Not only did she fix the understudy’s technique issues, but when the prop master messed up, she sent a team over to save the day.
Their performance had been wless.
A group of underdogs finally got to hold their heads high.
The most important performance was already behind them. Sophia’s team had given rave

reviews and expressed interest in coborating.
Now, it was just the regr tour from there on out.

Naomi lifted her chin and shot Thomas a look. “Just because Olivia’s got a big show tonight doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t train.
“We’re not hogging her turf, you know. So, how about you guys clear the way?”
Thomas’s face flushed with embarrassment as he awkwardly stepped aside.
“So she wasn’t here for Olivia after all,” someone muttered under their breath.
‘Well, with the way the rk family overreacted, it’s no wonder people got the wrong idea,” another person chimed in.
Someone else snickered, “After the way Natasha was treated, there’s no way she’d just make up with Olivia and show up for her performance.
‘Someone was just being a little too wishful.”
Another voicemented, “Looks like the rk family just never had what it takes to get in with Mr. Turner.
‘And not only that. Did you guys even notice who Natasha and Mr. Turner came to check in on? It’s Naomi, Olivia’s biggest rival.
“Theye by to show support even when Naomi is not performing, while others stand at the door and getpletely ignored. It’s clear what is going on here.”
No one bothered to lower their voices as they joked around, leaving the rk family utterly mortified.
“Natasha, do you really have to mess up Olivia’s show like this?” Madeline’s eyes were full of disappointment and reproach.
Unlike Andrew and Thomas, who barely knew Olivia’s colleagues, Madeline recognized Naomi the instant she saw her.
After all, Naomi was Olivia’s biggest rival, and rumor had it she was always pulling dirty tricks
on Olivia behind her back.
Natasha showing up with Alexei to visit Naomi right in the middle of Olivia’s performance was basically giving Naomi a huge boost.
By tomorrow, people would be jumping on the bandwagon to hype up Naomi.

Natasha cut her off coldly. “Mrs. rk, as Olivia’s mom, you have no business telling me what to do. I’m not even part of your family.
“Go ahead andy down thew for your own kids. As for me, I’ll do whatever I please.”
Madeline’s reprimand died in her throat.
Natasha’s eyes and tone were icy cold, with not a hint of that old hope or yearning Madeline remembered.
For a moment, Madeline just froze, caughtpletely off guard.
Alexei raised an eyebrow, casually draping his arm over Natasha’s shoulder as he looked at Andrew. “Mr. rk, mind stepping aside?”
Andrew pressed his lips together tightly, his face flushed with embarrassment as he awkwardly pulled his family to the side.
Naomi stood off to the side, her face lit up with a flirtatious smile. “Come on. Let me show you <i>in</i>.”
The three of them swaggered into the theater with all eyes on them.
Before the show even started, everyone got to watch the rk family’s mess unfold. It was a whole spectacle in itself.
The audience members who hadn’t even gone in yet were throwing nces all over the ce.
Some were already tapping away on their phones, gleefully spilling the drama in their group chats.
The rk family kept up their smiles, but that earlier air of smugness andposure was
nowhere to be found.
With her back to them, Natasha’s eyes curved in a faint, knowing smile,
She was there for the show, but there was no way she was going to give Olivia the satisfaction of her public support.
If people started spreading rumors that she and Olivia had patched things up just because she showed up with Alexei, she’d have no one to me but herself.

Since people kept giving weird looks to the rk family and loudly praising Naomi, the rk family felt quite miserable.
Thomas patted his anxious mother’s hand. “Don’t worry, once Olivia’s show is over, they’ll have nothing to say.”
Noel added, “Didn’t Olivia just choreograph a brand new dance? Even the master she brought in as a stage consultant said it was brilliant.
“Just wait till she blows them away on stage. Naomi’s already been beaten by Olivia before. She’s just a stepping stone.
“Soon enough, everyone will be saying Natasha has no taste.”
Hearing their words offort, Andrew and Madeline finally started to rx a little.
As long as Olivia gives a great performance, all the doubts and criticism from today would flip into praise.
When it came to dancing, everyone could see with their own eyes who was truly good. No amount of side gossip could cover up the truth.
If Olivia managed to catch the master’s eye, her title as a genius dancer would reach new heights.

Meanwhile, backstage, Olivia was changing into her costume.
‘Natasha and Mr. Turner are here?” Olivia asked, her tone sharp.
When she heard they’de to check in on Naomi and even brought her flowers, Olivia’s face darkened.
No wonder Naomi keeps turning things around and acting so arroganttely. Turns out she’s got herself a powerful backer now, Olivia thought bitterly.
She looked straight into the mirror at her own radiant, perfectly made–up face, confidence shining in her eyes<b>. </b>
‘No big deal. After tonight, she and I won’t even be ying in the same league anymore,’
Olivia told herself.
There were way more VIPS in the audience than she’d ever expected.
Even some industry legends she never dreamed would show up, like Sophia and Rhea, were

actually sitting out there.

She felt that she was a hot topic in the industry. Olivia was barely able to hide her delight.
She’d thought she’d have to hustle for publicity to get her new piece noticed by these people, but now, everything just fell right into herp.
A confident smile tugged at Olivia’s lips.
