Chapter 1431 Chapter 1430: The Shaw clan launched a desperate hunt to find and compensate this savior, but Raymond shuttered his windows. He guarded the secret with iron-clad silence, never breathing a word of who had actually saved his life—until now. In the past, Allan had wrestled with a ghost
Chapter 1430 Chapter 1429: Allan cultivated infinite patience, rooted beside the bed and weaving words.

Chapter 1429 Chapter 1428: Sally lay utterly inert in the sterile white bed, her eyes perpetually closed, locked in a vegetative state that had endured for years. It was funny how fate worked. Eight years ago, Allan had discovered a woman critically injured and personally raced her to the emergency
Chapter 1428 Chapter 1427: Fortunately, Elliana was a seasoned veteran.

Chapter 1425 Chapter 1424: Gia collapsed into her chair, mind blanking as she whispered on endless repeat, “It’s finished.

Chapter 1424 Chapter 1423: Elliana had abruptly ascended to untouchable icon status, while Adah burned across the stage like a comet tearing through darkness.

Chapter 1423 Chapter 1422: Gia’s words sparked a twisted triumph in Rowena. Scrambling up, Rowena fixed Adah with a malicious glare. “So what if you exposed me? So what if I’m banned forever? Moonlight Shadow is my masterpiece now! Say whatever you want about my morals, no one can deny

Chapter 1420 Chapter 1419: The judges announced the impromptu theme: Meteor over the Curved Moon. No other request. The dancers could interpret it however they chose.

Chapter 1419 Chapter 1418: Their lobbying paid off. The final terms were set: judges would announce a random theme on the spot, and the dancers would improvise everything—choreography and performance—live, with the championship hanging in the balance. When the host revealed the format, the crowd accepted it without protest. The
Chapter 1418 Chapter 1417: Leonel, who had been completely entranced by Adah’s dance, bristled at the accusation. He reluctantly looked away from the stage and snapped, “Rig the contest? How? Talent can’t be faked; no one can simply hand Adah that kind of skill p> Gia parted her lips, but
Chapter 1417 Chapter 1416: Halfway through Adah’s routine, the judges were already sweating, faced with a scoring crisis.

Chapter 1415 Chapter 1414: A new wave of applause swept through the venue, louder than before, while the online audience’s excitement soared to new heights.

Chapter 1414 Chapter 1413: With every passing moment, Adah’s anger mounted. She gripped her water cup so tightly that cracks spread across its surface. Elsewhere in the crowd, Leonel’s temper boiled over. He turned on Westley, growling, “You cowards, how dare you claim Sally’s work as your own p> Kimberly
Chapter 1413 Chapter 1412: After that, they exchanged no more words, mainly because Adah pointedly ignored Rowena altogether.

Chapter 1412 Chapter 1411: Leonel didn’t bat an eye. “You must’ve forgotten, I broke all ties with your family ten days ago. I’m no longer your son, and I have no obligation to do your bidding p> Gia was left trembling with fury. She had always relied on Leonel’s loyalty
