In the evening. Sadie personally drove to the theater to pick up Natasha after work.
From the lowered car window, a woman’s face, wearing sunsses, appeared. “Darling, how was it?”
Natasha smiled brightly, making a confident gesture.
Sadie also smiled. “I knew you could do it. Get in. Let’s celebrate.”
The luxury car sped away with the two beautiful women.
The male colleagues from the dance troupe who came out after Natasha craned their necks, watching the receding figures. “Sure enough, beautiful women hang out with other beautiful women,” they mused.
Another tall man reluctantly pulled his gaze away. “Do you think it’s okay if I pursue Miss rk?
From the first moment he saw the specially appointed foreign consultant, he was deeply captivated by her.
Moreover, she was so sweet, so lovely, and so talented.
The man thought of her after her victory today, his gaze burning bright, his eyes filled with
adoration.
The two male colleagues gave him a look.
Owen Odling, the dance troupe’s male principal, was a skilled dancer, handsome, and came from a wealthy family. He was the ideal partner in the eyes of many girls, and after every performance, the flowers he received backstage were too numerous to pile up.
Although they felt a pang of jealousy, they knew they couldn’tpare to Owen and could only reluctantly agree. “You can give it a try.”
I’d advise against it.” Before Owen’s smile could fully appear, a soft female voice echoed from behind him.
They all turned to look at Naomi, who had just stepped out. “Why?”
Naomi replied, “She has a boyfriend. Actually, she’s engaged now.”
It was a good Alexei didn’te to Nornytaar this time. Otherwise, seeing these men with such greedy looks, he’d probably have kicked them all out on the spot.

She told them not to be so obvious.
Upon learning his goddess was taken, Owen’s heart sank.

He protested, unwilling to give up, “But they’re not married yet, are they? Maybe Miss rk would prefer my type?”
His two male colleagues stared at him in disbelief.
They never imagined that the aloof Owen could be so love–struck as to consider being a third
party.
Naomi’s expression also becameplicated. “Don’t even think about it. You have no chance.”
Owen asked, “Why do I have no chance? Who is her fiancé? Is he handsome? Is he rich? Can he be as good to Miss rk as I am?”
Naomi nodded seriously. “He’s more handsome than you, richer than you. Let’s put it this way. Miss rk is the apple of his eye. Give up. You have no chance.”
Struck by the blow, Owen was devastated again. “I really can’t…”
Before he could finish speaking, Naomi raised her hand. “Sophia! Owen is trying to pursue Miss rk!”
She immediately reported him.
Sophia, who had juste out of the theater, looked shocked. She stared at Owen with a “you’re crazy” expression. “Really?”
Before he could answer, she eagerly blurted out, “Don’t be foolish! If you want to continue being the male lead, behave yourself! Do you know who her fiancé is? Mr. Turner, the sponsor of our dance troupe!”
She had just secured a cherished new choreography, and she was overjoyed. She certainly didn’t want to lose the male lead role in the new production because of some romantic gossip.
Hearing that address, Owen’s pupils widened. “It’s actually him?”
Owen came from a well–off family. He had heard this name from other sources even before the dance troupe’s sponsor.
Alexei was reportedly a mysterious investment genius, with a hand in many high–profit ventures. Even some politicians wanted to win him over.

Many, however, had not seen his true face. He was rumored to be a stunning yet dangerous figure.
‘Miss rk’s fiancé is actually him?‘ Owen lowered his head in defeat.
Seeing that he had listened, Sophia sighed with relief. “Alright, work hard. After the new y premieres, your careers can advance. Don’t do anything foolish.”
She paused, then added a hurtfulment, “Besides, Natasha doesn’t even fancy you.”
The male dancers all felt the sting, while Naomi chuckled.
Natasha didn’t know that Alexei had also invested in Sophia’s dance troupe.
Though he imed he’d let her pursue her own career, Alexei couldn’t just stand by.
He trusted her with professional matters. Even when Natasha was put in a difficult position by Andrea, he didn’t intervene by leveraging his investor status.
However, he was able to support the dance troupe with additional funding and connections, and help ensure that the projects Natasha participated in progressed more smoothly and sessfully.
Sophia had a very good impression of this young couple. One was an inspired choreographer, and the other was a generous financier with few demands.
She was already treating them exceptionally well. So, she wouldn’t let her own people ruin their rtionship.
She thought to herself, since Natasha was mainly responsible for the female lead’s solo dance, it would be better to simply separate their practice area from that of the male dancers when the time came.
Alexei, busy with work, didn’t know that a poaching crisis had been averted due to his immense wealth. Otherwise, it was hard to say if he would have been able to stayposed.
Natasha understood himpletely now. He didn’t get overly jealous, but he did get a little possessive.
Too much jealousy harmed rtionships. A little possessiveness, a slight fuss, and Natasha could even coax him in return, allowing him to gain some benefits.
If Natasha knew Sophia’s decision now, she would wholeheartedly agree.

Meanwhile, Sadie originally intended to take Natasha to experience overseas nightclubs and male models when she came to Nornytaar.
However,st time, with just one word from Alexei, she got ess to his gem mine.
Since she had received favors, she was embarrassed to take Natasha to those ces again.
The main reason was her lingering worry, fearing they might run into someone.
That high–end bar fromst time belonged to Alexei. Sadie wasn’t sure what other businesses he owned. It wouldn’t be funny if she took his wife to his territory to order male models.
Fortunately, neither of them were people who sought rebellion or excitement. They were happy just doing something together and chatting.
In an authentic restaurant Sadie had found, she saw Natasha expressionlessly nce at a message before putting it down. Sadie raised an eyebrow. “The rk family?”
Natasha nodded. “Yes.”
Ever since Natasha sent Olivia to prison, the rk family understood her determination to sever ties. Coupled with Alexei’s warning, they were too preupied with their own issues and dared not bother her for a long time.
However, for some unknown reason, they recently began frequently trying to mend their rtionship with her.
The message she had just received was an invitation to Madeline’s birthday, sent by Thomas using someone else’s phone.
Sadie sneered. “They never celebrated your birthday, yet they never miss their own.”
Natasha smiled as well.
Trying to make amends after the damage was done served no real purpose.
At this very moment, back in the country.
An agitated Madeline was stopping the housekeeper from cleaning Natasha’s room. “Don’t touch anything. I’ll do it myself!”
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the small room, far less spacious than Olivia’s and even piled with Olivia’s clutter. Her heart was filled with deep regret and pain.

Just as Madeline was feeling downcast and heartbroken, Natasha, who had just finished dinner with Sadie, received another call.
It was Alexei’s bodyguard who called her.
“Mrs. Turner, you might need toe here again. Roderick said he still has something he wants to tell you personally, regarding Olivia’s mother.”
