Even as Faye and Cedric walked away, Melanie couldn't recover from the shock. She refused to accept the reality.

How could Cedric be with that woman?

On top of that, he even called her "Mrs. Shaw".

She felt like her world was crumbling. Even when they were called onto the stage to perform, she couldn't focus on the performance, let alone care if her students were well enough to perform.

Throughout the performance, she was distracted and barely managed to finish it. The entire team was scattered and a mess, failing to be in sync.

The judges frowned and shook their heads. Even the audience noticed their mistakes and began whispering to one another.

"Why would people like that perform on stage?"

"Yeah. They can't even compare to the other contestants."

"I thought that the leader was the founder of some dance studio. I remember that she used to be great …"

"Jorn Elite Studio, right? I've heard of them. But according to rumors, this studio is supposed to rival Avery's studio."

    Tracy and Marie were far more impatient than Faye anticipated. Faye initially thought they would try to cause trouble after the competition concluded. But as soon as Marie finished her performance and waited for the judges to grade it, she couldn't stay still any longer. "Ms. Stewart, I remember your back was injured a month ago. If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to recover within a month and perform so splendidly?" She smiled. "I have a close friend who was supposed to participate in this competition but injured her back as well. She hasn't even recovered yet and can't even do the simplest dance move."As she spoke, the audience started whispering to one another. Some even glanced at Avery's back, checking if she was bleeding after performing with an injured back. The opening dance was complicated and required the performer to move swiftly. Even a healthy individual would struggle to perform it with such perfection. Dancers needed to move their bodies a lot as

Faye smiled and recalled how Tracy dropped by to leave something important for her to keep.She turned and returned to the dressing room, reaching the box Tracy had left behind. Tracy had placed the box on a small cabinet beside the makeup mirror. Faye took the box and opened it to find another box inside. She narrowed her eyes and opened the inner box to find lipstick and a box of a certain brand's jewelry.Apart from these, there was nothing else. Faye felt that something was off.

Before she could figure it out, Cedric approached and took the box from her. He opened it and took the lipstick. As he opened the cap, a knowing expression appeared on his face.Puzzled, Faye ask

    What would happen if Faye touched it?Cedric lowered his head and taught Faye the consequences of his actions. Though Faye knew this wasn't the time for them to get intimate, she had long learned the pleasure of being with a man. As she came into contact with his irresistible taste, she couldn't resist his temptation. After one kiss, she felt weak, like she was melting into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and their bodies were pressed tightly together. If the phone wasn't ringing, Faye felt like she would have caved and devoured Cedric whole right there and then. When she pushed Cedric away, she caught sight of the lust in his eyes and knew that he felt the same. Her heart raced, and she hastily adjusted her clothes before grabbing her phone and stepping out of the room. The phone had stopped ringing. After calming down, Faye intended to return the call when her phone rang again. It was from Alina. "Faye, the competition will end after two more contesta

    Avery looked at Marie and smiled. "Are you really worried that I'll fool everyone, or are you worried that I'll reveal the shameful things you've done?""Nonsense!" Avery's words momentarily unsettled Marie."Did Avery find out about the truth? Did Hannah, who's mentally unstable and easily frightened, sell me out?" Marie thought. "But so what? Even if Hannah confessed, she can't provide any evidence."Moreover, Marie had personally gone to the police station to find Hannah. Hannah wouldn't dare to make baseless accusations if she still cared about her mother.Little did Marie know that Avery intentionally led her to the police station. As long as Hannah was involved, she would definitely go there. Once she did, she would get caught. However, Marie was currently unaware that she had fallen into a trap. Marie raised her chin arrogantly and looked at Avery disdainfully. "Did I say something wrong? Didn't you admit that a substitute performed the opening dance? "You refuse to

    When she decided to have Faye replace her, Avery knew what she would face after that, so she was prepared. She didn't explain everything to evade responsibility but to prevent Faye from being condemned. On top of that, Faye was the person she trusted most and only agreed to perform to help her. Everyone had the right to know since she wasn't the one who performed. Faye's marvelous performance shouldn't be acknowledged as Avery's, so Avery wasn't scared of being insulted or condemned. This was the result of her actions, and she was willing to bear the consequences of them. However, as Avery stood quietly, waiting for the storm to rage upon her, someone from the audience shouted, "Who was the person who danced?""Who would have known that there's someone who can dance better than Ms. Stewart? Ms. Stewart, since you've explained this much, don't keep any more secrets!""Can the lady who danced just now come up to the stage?""I want to know what kind of woman can perform such

    Faye went down, and the staff also escorted Marie away. Avery took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the camera and the audience, and sincerely apologized. Immediately, a wave of journalists eagerly started asking questions, but the on-site staff stopped them. Even so, Avery still heard various angry inquiries and insults. She knew that it was much better than she had expected. She had made such a choice, prepared for various outcomes, and accepted it calmly.Avery smiled as she descended from the stage and returned to the judge's seat.

Therefore, she was serious when immersed in training, leaving no room for mistakes. The results of her training were only that good because of her dedication. However, there was a toll on her physical and mental strength.To avoid embarrassing Avery at the dance competition, Faye had put in her all.

    Faye felt like she was suffocating.She struggled but couldn't move, almost as if something was holding her down. She parted her lips to breathe, but something else blocked her mouth. It was a strange yet familiar feeling, and it filled her senses. Something soft evaded her mouth when she tried to get away. Before she could wake up, a pair of strong arms lifted her up. Her skin came into contact with the cold air but was soon pressed against a scorching hot sensation. Faye wondered if she was falling sick. If not, she wouldn't be incapable of waking up. She twisted and turned anxiously, only to be further assaulted. The hands that caressed her were practically assaulting her. However, when accompanied by a familiar scent, she couldn't quite call it an assault. At the very least, she wasn't experiencing any discomfort other than the suffocating feeling. She couldn't even control herself from wanting more. Was she dreaming, or was this real?In a daze, Faye continued to

She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich.

She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor.

He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start.
