Cedric, who had been silent all along, felt somewhat displeased as he observed the intense gaze of Matt. He stood in front of Faye and said coldly, "So, the prescription itself isn't the problem. It's just that someone couldn't resist temptation, selling it without the owner's consent and without grasping the specific nuances of its usage. "The Cawsway family's pharmacy lacks the necessary expertise. You knew enough to tell the prescription was good but failed to comprehend its true essence. You sold the medicine recklessly, which caused this series of events."Although Cedric's summary was simple, it clarified the entire course of the case. At this point, it would be impossible for Hannah to claim that she wasn't wrong. After hearing these words, the police had a clearer understanding of the whole incident and the truth was so evident that it couldn't be swayed by what a few people said. "Well done, Mr. Shaw!" Chief Janaway stood up, applauding fervently with admiration in hi
Avery could be as stubborn as an ox sometimes. For the sake of her pride, she would always put herself in difficult positions. Despite being wounded, she refused to bow or cave. However, she reverted back to a wilful child when she was with Faye. She held back tears and lowered her head, trying to contain her emotions. The pressure of getting injured and having to prepare for the opening dance weighed down on her, but she somehow managed to hold on because she was well aware of the purpose she served. She hadn't completed her goal yet, so she couldn't give up or collapse. Still, whenever she was with Faye, she could let go of all her pretenses and turn to Faye for directions. No matter how strong she was, she was merely human. And as a woman, she had taken on far too much by herself. When she was alone, she would feel engulfed by helplessness and exhaustion. Faye was the only one who could get her to let her guard down. "You are indeed quite wilful, I guess." Faye s
Avery had never been one to show mercy. Before meeting Faye, she had always known how to protect herself from harm. She was beautiful and had a great figure because she was a dancer. Hence, wherever she went, she was the center of attention and at the same time—the focus of malicious intent. She only managed to come so far because she knew how to protect herself and understood that mercy shown to an enemy was a form of cruelty toward herself. When faced with betrayal, she would never show mercy. Hannah had betrayed her and set Faye up over the smallest temptation, so there was no way that Avery would forgive her. And then there was Marie as well. Avery picked up her phone and made a call. A low voice responded on the other end of the line and she laid on bed, her voice cold and distant. "Tell Marie that Hannah has been arrested and might rat her out. Then send someone to the police station to pay Hannah a visit."Marie was a sensitive and distrustful person, so if she le
When Faye arrived at the studio, each dance room was still occupied with people practicing. Avery's studio had been operating for so many years that it operated like a well-oiled machine.Even if Avery was absent for a month, the studio could still operate normally. Faye didn't visit here often, but the control system here was designed by Faye years ago, so she could come and go easily.She made her way to the dedicated practice room for Avery. Before entering, she heard some noises from inside."See, I told you Ms. Stewart won't come here these days. Let's just use her practice room.""If we're discovered by the seniors, we'll be in big trouble.""Don't worry, everyone is busy with the dance competition. Let's make good use of this time to practice here. We'll surely do better with ample space.""Yeah, let's continue. We must achieve good results in tomorrow's dance competition."With these words, they started playing music and began practicing together.Faye didn't immediatel
After clearing others out of the room, Faye stayed in the room to practice. She was the one who wrote the music and choreographed part of the dance, so the routine was hardly challenging for her. Still, Faye was a perfectionist. Considering how important the opening dance was for Avery, she couldn't take this lightly and aimed not only to complete the performance but to impress everyone in the room. She wasn't Avery, so she needed to be so brilliant that no one dared to say a word about the performance. Faye knew she needed to do well enough to prevent unnecessary troubles. She had always been the type of person who would do her best in whatever she was doing, so there was no space for failure or excuses. Faye practiced all the way until midnight and didn't prepare to leave until Cedric called her. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a figure flashing by the stairway at such speed that she almost thought she was hallucinating. A light that flickered shut added
The next day, at 10:00 am, Faye went to the hospital to pick Avery up, only to receive a call from Avery saying that she was waiting outside Faye's apartment building. Faye raised an eyebrow, gathered her things, and went downstairs to find Avery sitting in her car, smiling at Faye. Avery had beautiful features. With light makeup, her face looked refreshing with a touch of mature allure. When she stood next to her car, she looked young and energetic to the point that she could easily convince others that she was only 18 years old. Faye got into the car and smiled. "It's been two days, and you are already out here driving?"Since Avery was driving, it seemed she hadn't learned her lesson. Avery hurried out of the car and ran to open the door to the passenger seat. "I just want to show my sincerity by coming to pick you up. I can't just make you pick me up all the time, right?""So what are you doing now?" Faye crossed her arms and refused to get out of the car. "Of course,
"Ms. Stewart has over 20 years of stage experience. Why would she need rehearsals?" Liam glanced at Avery and chuckled. "Ms. Stewart's caliber is naturally different from us ordinary folks."Melanie feigned realization and said with a smile, "It seems so. Ms. Stewart is indeed at a different level to which we can't hold a candle.""Oh, my. I look forward to the opening dance!" The assistant smiled. "What stunning dance will Ms. Stewart bring us this afternoon?""Exactly, Ms. Stewart doesn't even want to reveal a bit during rehearsals. Clearly, she wants to dazzle the audience during the formal performance. How mysterious and exciting!" Melanie covered her mouth and chuckled.The surrounding staff couldn't help but burst into laughter. Though they spoke like they looked forward to Avery's performance, their tones were filled with mockery, as if they were waiting to see Avery embarrass herself.In the face of the ridicule and sarcasm from these people, Avery remained composed. "
"Excuse me, sir." Exiting the dressing room, Avery called out to the staff who had just distributed meals to each dressing room.The staff member turned his head and, upon seeing Avery, couldn't contain his excitement. "Ms. Stewart, do you need something from me?"Avery gathered her long hair. Even though her makeup was incomplete, she looked exceptionally beautiful. With just simple makeup, she still appeared stunning and captivating, making it hard for anyone to look away. She smiled, adding a touch of charm to her already sweet voice. "Are the meals everyone having the same?"The staff member shook his head and said, "No, Ms. Stewart. The meals for you and the other guests are from a high-end restaurant, different from the ones for the staff.""I see." Avery smiled and said, "The organizers are so considerate. However, I looked at the meal and noticed it contained seafood. "I haven't been feeling well lately and can't eat those. Could you please help me get another set?"
