But suddenly,I didn’t want to expose her so easily.
Olivia’s name, and her very existence,deserved to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Not for her to keep jumping in front of me like a grasshopper after the harvest.
I canceled the post and edited three words. “See you on stage.”
“Dancer Show” became the hottest variety show recently,thanks to the PK (battle) between Olivia and me.
The program director approached me for a discussion about the contract and stage effects.
His attitude was sincere,and his professionalism regarding the stage requirements impressed me. After a few discussions,we got along quite well.
He eagerly took on the responsibility of setting up the stage for me,and after thinking it over,I shared my design
ideas with him.
He confidently promised,“Leave everything to me,I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”
However,the day before the program’s live broadcast,Olivia posted a set of photos on her social media. The photos showed the stage that was supposedly ready for the show.
And this stage clearly featured my original ideas!
Olivia shamelessly captioned the photos. “This is my battlefield.”
The comments were all praise.
“Wow,this is amazing! Is this the best stage in the country?”
“There are so many elements,every detail is well thought out,especially the white rose in the middle of the stage.
YYDS (forever the best).”
“Although Olivia’s love life isn’t smooth,her professional abilities are top–notch. No way to criticize her!”
The program “Dancer Show” had a policy where the stage design was provided by the performers themselves,so the audience assumed Olivia had designed it.
She didn’t deny it,either. She tagged several big names in the stage design industry and even an internationally renowned dance troupe before posting a photo of herself without makeup after rehearsals.
In the photo,a group of staff members surrounded Charles and Olivia at the front. They were both looking directly at the camera,their cheeks touching,their eyes filled with passionate affection.
Charles and Olivia’s couple fans went wild,chanting them.

I decided to turn off private messages and called the program director. “Why did you steat my stage design and give
it to Olivia?
“Charlotte Edwards] don’t know what you’re talking about. Oliva’s stage was completely planned by her, with no involvement from anyone else.”
“Although 1 sympathize with your abandonment you should accept the consequences of your choices in love. I hope you won’t make baseless accusations or we may need to resort to legal action.”
I laughed coldly and hung up the phone.
Not long later.I received a message from an unknown number. “Charlotte Edwards,give up,you can’t win.”
I didn’t respond, just added the number to my blacklist.
On the day of the live broadcast,I didn’t let Rogerio take me to the TV station.
Charles saw me getting out of a taxi and didn’t hide his mocking tone. “Charlotte Edwards, did you fail to hook Rogerio,or did he use you and then dump you?”
I walked past him and moved to the side.
Charles stepped forward,blocking my way. “Charlotte Edwards, your leg is still hurt you won’t win this dance today.”
I coldly looked at him. “I can still win with one leg.”
Charles sneered. “Looks like I’ve spoiled you over the years,you’ve become so arrogant.”
“Do you want me to remind you of the past? The time when everyone hated you and you were so desperate you kneeled at my feet begging me not to leave,even needing my permission to buy a bottle of water. Have you forgotten
all that?”
My tone remained calm. “Charles, you couldn’t see or remember how much I loved you, but you only remember my humiliations and how you once saved me.”
Charles furrowed his brow,instinctively wanting to argue.

But I didn’t give him a chance. “What I owe you. I’ve already paid. If you still have a shred of conscience you shouldn’t be interfering in my affair with Olivia.”
“Olivia is mine,” Charles said lazily. “I take care of the people I care about,is that not normal
I nodded. “Mm,you’re right.”
A light flickered in Charles’s eyes. “You know, I’m protective. If you were still mine,I’d help you.”
“How would you help? Publicly accuse Olivia of being a thief?”
Charles pursed his lips. “If you withdraw from the program now,I’ll compensate you with resources and control the public opinion online.”
“…” I pushed Charles’s hand away. “Trash.”
“Charlotte Edwards! You forced me into this!”
