It didn’t matter that the evidence from back then was destroyed.

    It was an undeniable fact that Olivia stole “Chasing the Wind” through despicable means. People would automatically fill in the details of a previous simr incident.


    Olivia was irrevocably disgraced.


    How smug Olivia was back then, burying the truth under her family’s protection, but the bacsh came back twice as hard today.


    Naomi stared in surprise at Olivia, who had lost all strength and resigned herself to being led away by the police.


    ‘She is ruthless to outsiders and even crueler to her own family, Naomi sighed.


    Based on previous interactions, she had only roughly guessed that Natasha was not an amateur, but she never imagined her to have such an experience.


    As a fellow dancer, she knew best the immense value of being recognized by Rhea at such a


    young age.


    “What a pity, Naomi thought as she watched Olivia walk away. ‘Justice will prevail, and Olivia finally got what she deserved.’


    Aside from Olivia herself, the rk family, who had been beaming with pride before the show, were the ones most unable to ept this oue.


    They had just managed to salvage a shred of dignity and reverse the rk family’s plummeting reputation, thanks to Olivia’s brilliant performance, only to have someone shatter their relief within seconds, revealing it was all a lie.


    Back when Olivia stole Natasha’s choreography, they didn’t think it was a big deal.


    Anyway, they were all family, and Natasha wouldn’t be dancing anymore…


    <b>But </b>now that the one whose work got giarized turned out to be Rhea’s niece, they couldn’t confidently defend Olivia anymore. They even felt like they had beenbeled as thieves themselves.


    Lucas released Olivia’s hand after Rhea finished recounting the past.


    The deeper they dug, the more horrifying the buried truths became.


    He even felt ridiculous standing on stage next to Olivia at this very moment.

    Tonight’s performance was splendid, and the gossip was even more entertaining.


    The audience reluctantly dispersed, but of course, they all unanimously followed the police. officers, ready to watch Olivia get into the police car, determined to witness the drama until the veryst second.


    Arge crowd streamed toward the open–air parking lot in front of the theater.


    While the audience remained well–behaved and orderly, the reporters had far fewer <fn8da1> Follow current nov?ls on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn8da1>


    reservations.


    Like bees swarming around nectar, they clustered closely around the police and Olivia, their microphones practically shoved into her face.


    “Miss Sutton, aside from Chasing the Wind and the dance from that interview, what other works have you giarized?”


    “Miss Sutton, did you also cause Natasha’s car ident that year?”


    “Miss Sutton, what are your thoughts on being adopted by the rk family, only to turn around and scheme against their biological daughter?”


    “Miss Sutton, Sophia has stated that all international dance troupes she knows will never employ you again. Will you be leaving the dance world?”


    Meanwhile, the rk family and Lucas also found no peace.


    They were practically trapped by the reporters, unable to move an inch.


    “Mr. Wright, after the giarism and conspiracy to murder scandals, will your engagement with Olivia continue?”


    ‘Mr. Wright, it’s rumored that you didn’t choose your childhood sweetheart, Natasha, but instead fell in love with her sister. Do you regret it now?”


    ‘Mr. rk, Mrs. rk, what were you thinking when you helped your adoptive daughter usurp your biological daughter’s work?”


    “Are you two aware of Olivia’s conspiracy to murder? Did the rk family provide her with


    assistance?”


    Countless voices swarmed them, making them feel as if they were drowning in these


    usations.

    Olivia bowed her head, lips pressed tightly, and said nothing.

    The police only asked her to cooperate with the investigation and didn’t handcuff her, but she felt as though she was already a convicted criminal.


    The anger of being yed faded, leaving only endless panic in her heart.


    ‘It’s over,‘ she thought to herself. ‘Everything is over. The persona I painstakingly built, the stage I longed for, and perhaps even the family affection and fiancé I struggled for years to snatch…


    Compared to tonight, the damage to her reputation from the birthday party was merely an appetizer prepared for her.


    In the crowded mass, someone pushed forward.


    Olivia was knocked down andnded face–first in a humiliating tumble.


    Countless camera shes lit up, eagerly capturing the image of the once high–flying dance prodigy falling into the mud.


    Sounds and figures swirled into scattered points, buzzing in her mind. She longed to faint but remained acutely aware.


    As she lifted her head from the ground, she caught a glimpse of the ck car parked not far away through the gaps in the crowd.


    The rear window was halfway down, and the warm yellow glow of the streemp, refracted, cast shifting light and shadow on the face within.


    Olivia watched her turn her head, smile radiantly, and then mouth a phrase to her. “You lost.”


    It was the deration she had unted countless times before Natasha.


    Natasha was returning it to her, one piece at a time.


    “No!” A shrill scream, born from the depths of her hatred, reverberated through the entire parking lot.


    The aggressive, pressing reporters all froze in their tracks, startled.


    They couldn’t help but think, ‘Oh no. I hope we haven’t driven her insane.


    While the others hesitated, Michelle, her leg still swathed in bandages, moved with unnatural speed, snapping photos with a relentless click–click–click.

    From her angle, in addition to Natasha sitting nearby, she also saw Alexei further inside.


    Through the partially lowered car window, in the intery of light and shadow, both profiles revealed only exquisite jawlines, one soft, the other sharp.


    Suddenly, they seemed to notice her gaze and simultaneously turned their heads to look at


    her.


    Michelle saw stunning looks, one after another.


    Michelle’s heart pounded from being watched, and she quickly snapped a photo.


    The lighting, the streetlights, the ambiance… It’s simply perfect, Michelle thought. ‘It’s just…


    She hesitantly nced at Olivia, who was still lying on the ground, her face streaked with tears and snot.


    The “innocent” dancer sprawled in a torn costume, her tears as fake as her fragility, while the real predators sat in the backseat, their silk gloves hiding a grip on the strings of fate.


    Although it was inappropriate, Michelle felt this scene was like a murderer returning to the murder scene to inspect the oue.


    ‘Natasha and Alexei definitely give off a viinous vibe,‘ Michelle thought.


    Naomi, who emerged a littleter, unknowingly walked to Michelle’s side.


    As key figures in tonight’s unfolding drama, the two had grown quite familiar with each other over this period.


    Naomi covered her ears, blocking out the piercing scream.


    “What happened to her?” she asked.


    Michelle still couldn’t bear to put down her phone. “Nothing, she just got triggered and went a bit wild”


    Naomi nodded thoughtfully. ‘Well, it’s normal to go crazy after twenty years of hard work got destroyed in an instant


    After today, Olivia would have no ce in the dance world.


    But her name would be forever remembered as a cautionary tale.

    ‘Isn’t she afraid of getting caught taking such tant candid shots?‘ Naomi wondered.


    Michelle smiled meaningfully. “You don’t understand. If I were taking pictures of Alexei, I might be in real trouble. But these are their romantic couple photos. I could even turn them in for a rewardter.”


    She could confidently say that even professional photographers didn’t take pictures as well as she did.


    I’m a woman determined to be a big star, after all,‘ Michelle thought. ‘And Alexei will be utterly smitten seeing photos of him and Natasha looking so well–matched.‘


    Although Alexei stubbornly denied it, having witnessed firsthand his willingness to clean, cook, make the bed, and even blow–dry Natasha’s hair during the time she spent learning to dance with Natasha at the vi, Michelle had fully realized how much a man in love wouldpromise.


    “Even if they strongly denied it, based on my years of experience with unrequited love, these two will end up together,‘ Michelle thought with confidence.


    Naomi had an enlightened expression.


    ‘If I work hard on my dancing in the future and manage to attract Miss rk to the theater for more performances, will the investment from Turner Group also increase significantly?” she wondered.


    The two exchanged nces, their fighting spirit ignited.
