Natasha flatly refused, “No need.”

Thomas patiently explained, “Security is tight today. Without a ticket or invitation, you won't get in.”
Olivia's fhad attracted a massive fan base, which inevitably included sobsessive
fans.
After that incident where a male fan rushed the stage and tried to hug her, the Clark family went above and
beyond to ensure Olivia's safety at every performance.
This time, since her future was on the line, they had to make sure there was zero room for
error.
Thomas glanced at Alexei, silently hoping he'd talk ssense into Natasha and get her to stop messing
around.
They were already drawing attention by blocking the entrance like this.
But Alexei, usually the center of attention, just smirked faintly and stood there, content to be the backdrop.
Today, he wanted to remain a silent accessory.
Natasha glanced at the Clark family, who were all on edge, a faint, teasing smile on her lips. “Did | ever say | was
here for Olivia's show?”
Thomas was stunned. “But there's only one performance at the theater today.”
Even if there were several venues, they'd never let the shows overlap anyway.
A clear and flirtatious voice rang out from behind the Clark family, right at the theater entrance, “I've seen
people fight over parents, money, and roles.
‘However, | have never seen anyone scramble for a spot just to visit backstage.”
Everyone turned to look.
Naomi was there, dressed in her dance practice clothes and drenched in sweat, obviously having dashed over.
She leaned against a pillar, catching her breath while tossing out her teasing comments.
She'd thought the distinguished guests would use the VIP entrance, but she had guessed

Now that she’d run into this , there was no way she wasn’t going to milk it for all it was
worth.
Every single Clark family member here was her enemy.
If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have spent all this tgetting pushed around by Olivia in the dance troupe.
Now that she finally had a shot at payback, she was going to throw sshade and get a few sarcastic digs in.
She'd already found out that her mysterious backer was actually Natasha's close friend.
That backer was propping her up to go head-to-head with Olivia.
At a moment like this, she had to make sure she was on the right team.
Natasha smiled and handed over the bouquet. “Sorry, I've got something going on tomorrow, so | can’t make it
then.
“I had to drop by today to check in with you. Break a leg.”
Naomi grinned as she accepted the bouquet.
“It means a lot that you still think of us, Miss Clark. If it weren't for you, our show wouldn't have gone so
smoothly,” she said.
There was a genuine warmth in her voice as she spoke.
Olivia kept playing dirty tricks, one after another.

But before she could even get started, Natasha had already stepped in to help.
Not only did she fix the understudy’s technique issues, but when the prop master messed up, she sent a team
over to save the day.
Their performance had been flawless.
A group of underdogs finally got to hold their heads high.

Naomi lifted her chin and shot Thomas a look. “Just because Olivia's got a big show tonight doesn’t mean the
rest of us can't train.
“We're not hogging her turf, you know. So, how about you guys clear the way?”
Thomas's face flushed with embarrassment as he awkwardly stepped aside.
“So she wasn't here for Olivia after all,” someone muttered under their breath.
‘Well, with the way the Clark family overreacted, it’s no wonder people got the wrong idea,” another person
chimed in.
Someone else snickered, “After the way Natasha was treated, there's no way she’d just make up with Olivia and
show up for her performance.
‘Someone was just being a little too wishful.”
Another voice commented, “Looks like the Clark family just never had what it takes to get in with Mr. Turner.
‘And not only that. Did you guys even notice who Natasha and Mr. Turner cto check in on? It's Naomi,
Olivia's biggest rival.
“They cby to show support even when Naomi is not performing, while others stand at the door and get
completely ignored. It’s clear what is going on here.”
No one bothered to lower their voices as they joked around, leaving the Clark family utterly mortified.
“Natasha, do you really have to mess up Olivia's show like this?” Madeline's eyes were full of disappointment
and reproach.
Unlike Andrew and Thomas, who barely knew Olivia's colleagues, Madeline recognized Naomi the instant she
saw her.
After all, Naomi was Olivia's biggest rival, and rumor had it she was always pulling dirty tricks
on Olivia behind her back.
Natasha showing up with Alexei to visit Naomi right in the middle of Olivia's performance was basically giving
Naomi a huge boost.
By tomorrow, people would be jumping on the bandwagon to hype up Naomi.

Natasha cut her off coldly. “Mrs. Clark, as Olivia’s mom, you have no business tellingwhat to do. I'm not even
part of your family.
“Go ahead and lay down the law for your own kids. As for me, I'll do whatever | please.”
Madeline's reprimand died in her throat.
Natasha's eyes and tone were icy cold, with not a hint of that old hope or yearning Madeline remembered.
For a moment, Madeline just froze, caught completely off guard.
Alexei raised an eyebrow, casually draping his arm over Natasha's shoulder as he looked at Andrew. “Mr. Clark,
mind stepping aside?”
Andrew pressed his lips together tightly, his face flushed with embarrassment as he awkwardly pulled his family
to the side.
Naomi stood off to the side, her face lit up with a flirtatious smile. “Con. Letshow you in.”
The three of them swaggered into the theater with all eyes on them.
Before the show even started, everyone got to watch the Clark family’s mess unfold. It was a whole spectacle in
itself.
The audience members who hadn't even gone in yet were throwing glances all over the place.
Swere already tapping away on their phones, gleefully spilling the in their group chats.
The Clark family kept up their smiles, but that earlier air of smugness and composure was
nowhere to be found.
With her back to them, Natasha's eyes curved in a faint, knowing smile,
She was there for the show, but there was no way she was going to give Olivia the satisfaction of her public

Since people kept giving weird looks to the Clark family and loudly praising Naomi, the Clark family felt quite
miserable.
Thomas patted his anxious mother’s hand. “Don’t worry, once Olivia's show is over, they'll have nothing to say.”
Noel added, “Didn't Olivia just choreograph a brand new dance? Even the master she brought in as a stage
consultant said it was brilliant.
“Just wait till she blows them away on stage. Naomi’s already been beaten by Olivia before. She's just a stepping
stone.
“Soon enough, everyone will be saying Natasha has no taste.”
Hearing their words of comfort, Andrew and Madeline finally started to relax a little.
As long as Olivia gives a great performance, all the doubts and criticism from today would flip into praise.
When it cto dancing, everyone could see with their own eyes who was truly good. No amount of side gossip
could cover up the truth.
If Olivia managed to catch the master’s eye, her title as a genius dancer would reach new heights.

Olivia told herself.
