Chapter 340
Tinaâs mind was about to explode. She scratched her head but couldnât think of a way to retaliate against Sharon. The only thing she could think of was to call Jasmine. She dialed Jasmineâs number. âMom, did you know? Sharon Cress is Foxy Damon!â
When Jasmine answered the phone, she multitasked, having her nails done by Myra while watching a playback of Foxy Damonâs livestream. She relaxed and enjoyed herself when Tinaâs words startled her, causing her to jerk her hand.
Myraâs scissors cut into her flesh, Jasmine hissed, glaring at Myra.
Myra flinched instinctively, anticipating a scolding, Jasmine, however, had no time for that, asking urgently, âWhat do you mean? Explain clearlyâ As she spoke, she gestured for Myra to step back. Myra, feeling reprieved, quickly moved away with her tools.
Tinaâs voice over the phone quivered. âI just heard Sharon and Randall talking. Randall said it himselfâsheâs Foxy Damon. Mom, Sharon had played us all along. She pretended to be pitiful at home, saying they had no moneyâit was all lies! Sheâs been playing us for fools, making us her laughingstock!â
Jasmine listened to Tinaâs words, her head buzzing. Despite knowing Sharon was capable, she had never imagined her being connected to Foxy Damon. She thought, If Sharon was Foxy Damon, what about my past actionsâ¦
Jasmine felt a burning sensation as she recalled her past sarcastic remarks towards Sharon. She felt utterly ashamed and embarrassed. Jasmine had always valued her dignity and reputation above all else.
The
news shattered Tinaâs carefully maintained reputation, which she had upheld for many years. She wanted to deny it, thinking Tina must have misheard, but then Edwinâs words flashed in her mind. He had once asked her if she knew who Sharon was. She thought, âWas he hinting at this?â
Jasmine slammed her hand on the table, the pain shooting through her palm. She didnât care about the pain at the moment. What concerned her more was her now tamished reputation.
She pondered, Tina had only bullied Sharon, but what about me? On the one hand, I ignored Sharon, and on the other, constantly creating opportunities for her and Edwin, shamelessly trying to match them up⦠Jasmine just wanted to find a place to hide, never to face anyone again. Jasmine felt pain everywhere.
She called Myra several times but received no response. Finally, she covered her chest and ran outside. Just as she reached the doorway, she stumbled and fell to the ground. Barely catching herself on the door, Jasmineâs face showed despair. âItâs over, itâs over!â
She thought. If Foxy Damon had a close relationship with Ray, there was still hope. If they werenât engaged, I could manipulate things and bring her together with Edwin. But now, everythingâs lost! She hated me so much, how could she still be good to Edwin! Behind her, the power and financial opportunities represented by a million fans are all goner
The powerhouse alliance, the dream team in her mind, had failed. The loss of opportunities had hurt more than the loss of face, leaving her in despair and pain, Jasmine dutched her forehead, feeling dizzy and on the verge of fainting at any moment,
âMrs. Stanley At that moment, a hand appeared under Jasmineâs arm, supporting her. The girlâs clear voice continued, âHello, Iâm here to see
Tina waited outside the competition venue for half a day, but Jasmine never showed up. Her call was abruptly cut off, and she didnât even give Tina
headsâup. The more Tina thought about it, the angrier and more upset she became.
Star repeatedly slammed her designer bag against the wall until it was misshapen. But what good did it do? No matter how many bags she smashed, it wouldnât change anything or make things right.
She wanted to leave then and there, but human nature had flaws. The more unwilling she felt, the less she wanted to leave the place that caused her
In the end. Tina went inside. She hadnât been seated for long when she heard the enthusiastic voice of the host. âThe final performance will be by our most talented, most charumatic, and most admired Kandall Silva. Letâs give a big round of applause for Handlall!*
Immediately, the crowd erupted with thunderous applause. Randall was incredibly popular locally, and most of the audience was there to see him. As the applause coptinued, thar lights suddenly dimmed.
Adark figure slowly glided across the stage in the soft blue, mysterious light beams. âRandall, Randall, the audience immediately started shouting wildly. Their dieen momentarily drowned out the music.
Randall performed graceful movements within the spotlight, each gesture cliciting screams and cheers from the girls in the audience. Some were even swooning with admiration. After executing a few simple moves, he extended his hand towards the darkness.

Another hand slowly reached out, resting in his palmi. It was slender and pale, each finger delicate and soft, as beautiful as water plants drifting in a
âWow, heâs got a partner with him.â
âNo way!â
âHeâs never skated with anyone else before!!
Is our Randall being taken away!â
âThatâs 100 Criellâ
The audience erupted again when they saw that hand buzzing with excited chatter. Everyoneâs eyes widened, eager to glimpse the mysterious partnerâs face.
âWhatâs so fascinating! Just an ugly person! Tina heard the comments from the crowd and responded icily. She still felt frustrated inside. However, upon hearing the reactions from the audience, she felt a glimmer of hope.
She pondered, Randall has always skated alone. Suddenly bringing in a woman, heâs bound to face criticism. Sharon Cress might even become a target of online harassment! I wished Sharon Cress would be publicly shamed, with people throwing rotten eggs at her daily! The more she thought about it, the better she felt.
âWow, sheâs so beautiful!â
âWow, sheâs like an angel
They look so good together
When Sharon finally showed her face, a new wave of admiration erupted from the audience below. âSheâs so beautiful; only our Randall could
match her.
Tina slowly snapped out of her thoughts, but instead of hearing what she wanted, she heard praises for Sharon.
Tina clutched her fist, eyes blazing with anger. She thought. âAre these people blind? Werenât they all claiming to love Randall? How can they not be outraged that Sharon Cress, someone so cleanâcut like Randall, has been brought into this?
The music suddenly began to play. Sharon, guided by Randall, executed a sharp pivot, followed by their freeâflowing movements and soaring speed across the ice. All eyes in the audience were fixed on them as they moved with synchronized steps, one dressed in black and the other in red, dazzling against the ice. Randall occasionally led Sharon in performing intricate and agile maneuvers. They didnât just skate; they seemed to glide in if on clouds
âWow!â In the audience, exclamations of astonishment continued one after another.
With Sharonâs existing dance skills and Randallâs exceptional performance, there was no hint of unfamiliarity. Everyone speculated about who this newcomer to figure skating could be, as they had never been seen before.
Upon listening to all the praises, Tinaâs face twisted in anger, her nails digging into the chair and breaking several. She thought, 1 donât believe it, IâU make sure this Sharon Cress fails! She just got married and already performing together, hugging and all. Can the boss of Bisney Entertainment handle it! Even if he can, can he ignore so many comments? Thinking this, Tina clicked away, taking many photos in a row.
Tina had no contact information for Bisney Entertainment, but what she did next didnât matter. She deliberately sent the photos to a social media account owned by a silverâspoon family, asking him to find a way to post them all over the internet. After doing all this, Tipaâs anger slightly subsided. âShuron Cress, dare to steal from me; see how you collapsed!â
Edwin walked out of the company. âMr. Stanley Felix stood in front of the car, holding his phone, with a nervous expression and a glint in his eyes. âIs there something on your mind?â Edwin glanced at Felix and immediately understood his concern. âIf you have something to attend to, go aheadâ he added.
Felix had gotten tharried, had a child, and had more family responsibilities, but Edwin wasnât pushing him. âItâs not that,â Felix walked over, feeling his scalp tighten, finding it hard to talk Finally, he said, âItâs⦠itâs dus,â handing over his phone.
Edwin glanced down and saw two ergent figures; a man and a woman dressed in red and black. The man lifted the woman high in the air, and she gracefully extended her leg in a split, appearing as if she was spreading her wings. Even in the still photograph, the seamless coordination between their movements conveyed a sense of grace and harmony,
