The next day…Ryleigh sat crossed-legged on the couch in Louis’ loose T-Shirt, waiting for someone to bring her clothes over.She happily went to get the door when the doorbell rang. However, her face fell when she saw the woman outside was Xyla. “Why are you here?”Xyla looked at her and smiled. “You’re living together after your wedding.”Ryleigh was going to close the door when Xyla suddenly held the door open and stuffed a bag of designer clothes into her hands. “Hold these. I wouldn’t have wanted to come over if not for Louis.”Xyla put on her sunglasses with a smile, turned, and left. Ryleigh froze for a few minutes, tossed the bag to the floor, and angrily stomped her feet. “I’m going to mess you up, Louis Lucas!”After throwing a tantrum, Ryleigh picked up the bag of clothes. Having something to wear was better than nothing!Xyla returned to the car and received a text from Louis, who asked if she had sent the clothes over.Xyla: [I did. Don’t ask me to deliver anythi
Ryleigh fell to the ground, and the skin of her palm scratched against the floor and bled. She winced and balled up her fist. The instructor crossed her arm. “Stop pretending. I just pushed you lightly, and you fell?”“If Mr. Lucas saw this, he would say that we’re bullying you. You fell, so don’t come blaming us.”“You—” Ryleigh was going to retaliate when a woman walked over with her phone. “I’m sorry, I accidentally took a video of the interesting event that just took place. I wonder if this video can help clear this lady’s name.”Ryleigh looked over and was surprised because it was Xyla. The instructors all turned pale. Jodie smiled when she saw that it was Xyla. “Xy, why are you here?”She walked toward her. “Don’t misunderstand, Xy. It was an accident.”Ryleigh stood up. Xyla turned to look at Jodie. “We’re not very close.”Jodie’s smile froze, but she still calmly said, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m Jodie Smalls.”“I know you’re Jodie Smalls.” Xyla twirled her phon
When she saw how pale Jodie turned, Xyla leaned closer. “You try to scare the women around Louis away because you’re not good enough for him? Do you think you’d get a chance to dance ballet if you didn’t get close to me because my father was the director of Royal Crown?”Jodie’s shoulder shuddered. Ryleigh looked at her curiously.Xyla patted her face. “Do you think you’re so pure and innocent? You used your relationship with me and got to know the people in my father’s circle and sold yourself out just so they would pay for your ballet career overseas.“After so many years of dancing, you still haven’t gotten famous, just enjoying life with money people give you. If it weren’t because they saw through your plan and cut off your finances, would you have returned?”Xyla didn’t speak too loud, but everyone could clearly hear her, and they were shocked. Jodie looked more and more embarrassed. Her face was pale as a sheet, as if she had faced immense shame, while her eyes filled with
“I—”“Jodie. This might work on other people, but you would only be making a fool of yourself by doing this to Louis.”Xyla took a look at Ryleigh and continued. “I refused to accept it when I learned that Louis had gotten engaged to her. Six years! For six years, I had been trying to win over his heart, yet he still didn't choose me in the end. I need to know why. I need to know why he would rather choose her over me.”Ryleigh looked at Xyla. Xyla gave her a smile and said, “I didn’t feel bad losing to Ryleigh.”“You guys come from a good family. You’re destined to have everything you want the moment you are born, and you don’t even need to work hard for it,” Jodie shouted hysterically. “But I’m different. If I want something, I need to work for it. I don’t think I’m inferior to you rich girls, but why does the world have to be so hard on me!?”Looking at Jodie, who was crying and sobbing profusely, something crossed Ryleigh’s eyes, and she said, “Can it be the same as what you
They knew they had stood up for the wrong person, and they felt too embarrassed to stay here. Just when they were going to leave Jodie behind and run away, Xyla called out to them. “Hold on a second. You people were very aggressive just now when you were criticizing her, so what now? Is it that hard for you people to open your mouth and apologize to her?”Seeing that they refused to apologize to her, Ryleigh said, “Forget about it. I don’t need their apology.”“That’s your business. They did the wrong thing, so they have to apologize. If they can't even apologize for what they've done wrong, they might not be fit to be an instructor. In that case, I suggest they pack their stuff and go home as they will only negatively influence the students.”No matter how reluctant those female instructors were, they could do nothing but apologize to Ryleigh under Xyla’s oppression.Ryleigh accepted their apology.Xyla pulled out a lipstick and freshened up her makeup through the phone screen.
Louis raised his eyebrows. “Of course, I do. I have seen a lot of women, so do you think she can fool me with those petty tricks?”Ryleigh did not say anything. Initially, she thought no man would be able to differentiate b*tches from other ordinary women.She crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked incredulously, “Then why did you behave like a stupid man during the incident with Willow?”Louis was momentarily stumped when Ryleigh brought up the incident from three years ago. He was caught between tears and laughter as he said, “I didn’t even like Willow, alright? When my mother said that she's my cousin because of an item of evidence, did I believe it?”Ryleigh was stumped. It seemed to her that Louis was right. He had never admitted that Willow was his cousin.Suddenly, she remembered something and went closer to him. “Then am I a scheming girl to you?”“You?” Louis crossed his arms around his chest and laughed. “If you're considered a scheming girl with your intellig
Ryleigh was stumped. After a short while, she lowered her head and sighed. “That’s what I’m worried about. Although the music trailer featured the orchestra department, I'm worried that the audience won't accept it. What if I messed it up? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?”Maisie looked at her and said, “Well, what’s done is done.”She put down the cup and picked up her purse. “Let’s go.”“Go where?” Ryleigh asked.Maisie paid the bill at the cashier and replied, “I’m going to show you a nice place.”Ryleigh hurriedly took all her stuff and followed after Maisie.Maisie parked her car outside the gate of Lebaron Town. Ryleigh looked at the gate through the window. She was stunned and asked, “Lebaron Town?”Maisie got out of the car. Many visitors were bustling here and there in Lebaron Town, and it was very lively.Ryleigh was walking next to her. When she saw that Maisie had bought two tickets, she turned to look at her. “What are we doing here in a tourist spot? Do you not need t
Many passersby and tourists had gathered outside the courtyard. After all, the combination of modern and classic musical instruments was rather eye-catching.The song “Dance of the Dark” started with the combination of bass and electrophonic organ. Toward the middle of the song, harp, flute, and drums joined in, stirring up the souls of the people around as well as shocking them.Then, the song changed again. It became "Lighthouse" and "Love under the Sky." The former was played with flute and guitar, while the latter was a mixed arrangement played with violin. It did not sound out of place at all.More and more tourists were gathering around them. Maisie had been uploading their performance live. Initially, there were only 100 or so viewers, but more and more viewers joined the live session as time went on. Soon, about 100,000 viewers were watching their performance online.#I want the original song!##The clash between contemporary pop and classical music! I like it!##The girl
