Chapter 87 The Viciousness Of Mirabelle
Mirabelle listened to the words of this woman next to her.
What she said was true – for daughters from wealthy families like Mirabelle, becoming famous was just to pass time, and it didn’t really matter whether she was successful or not. The most important thing was to marry into a good family, because that would set her for life.
But Mirabelle valued reputation above all, so this time she was determined to maintain her reputation no matter what it took! Whether she could still dance anymore was not important.
Mirabelle suddenly shot a glance at the woman next to her.
“Ms. Quimby, today’s matter…I think it’s impossible to keep it under wraps. The latter part of that video ends with me threatening Xandra, and if that part lands in the hands of my rivals, they’ll use it to threaten me and I’ll never be able to appear on stage again.”
When she suddenly gently called her ‘Ms. Quimby, Harper Quimby felt her chest tighten, and she was suddenly fearful.
She forced a smile. “Don’t worry, we will keep a close eye on things. If you want to hide this, we’ll make sure it happens!
“Impossible. After what happened today, I have no more future as a dancer.” A cold glint flashed in Mirabelle’s eyes. It was a pity, but not unacceptable.
“Xandra hates me to the core, and even though I don’t know how why he has this footage, someone is helping him now. With such a good opportunity, he won’t let me off so easily, so I must strike before he does…”
“You…you’re thinking of..?”
Harper immediately regretted asking
Mirabelle looked at her and smiled gently, “Ms. Quimby, you’ve been with me for so many years and you treat me like your own daughter. If you heard that I ‘threatened‘ Xandra in a ‘fit of anger, wouldn’t you misunderstand my words, then do something nasty with good intentions? Like maybe poison Xandra and turn him into a mute, or lock him up somewhere…”
Everyone felt a chill in their bones and they looked sympathetically at Harper, but Harper quickly waved her hands.
“No I wouldn’t..you…you’re asking me to take the rap for you?”
This would land her in jail!
Mirabelle threw a dirty look at Harper, “What are talking about? Take the rap? I’m telling you to turn yourself in!”
Turning herself in meant that she wanted Harper to plead guilty, to admit to a crime she did not commit.
Harper’s face paled instantly. So Mirabelle was going to leave her in a ditch to maintain her reputation?
“Don’t worry, if you turn yourself in, I’ll make sure you get the lightest sentence. With the support of the

Chapter 87 The Viciousness Of Mirabelle
“Ms. Mirabellel Ms. Mirabelle, please don’t do this, my son is still very young, and he can’t go without his mother…or you could get someone else…” Mirabelle could get anyone else to take the rap, why did it have: to be her?
The other two technical crew members present were alarmed and quickly lowered their faces, afraid to be implicated.
Mirabelle snorted, obviously displeased.
“It has to be you! You’ve been with me the longest, so it will be easy for others to believe that you would be behind something like that, and think that I am innocent! For the sake of my future, for me to marry into the Fairchilds without a taint on my reputation, sacrifice yourself for me, Ms. Quimby!”
Harper wanted to fight back. She couldn’t take the rap just like that! © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Think about your son in hospital. His medical bills come up to $200,000 every month. If you don’t listen to me, I don’t know if he can still continue with his treatment.”
This child was Harper’s Achilles‘ heel, and with this implied threat from Mirabelle, all the thoughts she had earlier about fighting back disappeared.
Mirabelle patted Harper’s trembling shoulders.
“I don’t have a choice either. I must remain pure and innocent in Kallum’s eyes, so I have no choice but to sacrifice you. Don’t worry, your sacrifice is worth it! So that’s settled then!”
Harper collapsed onto the floor and couldn’t even say anything to defend herself….
Soon enough, the full video of Mirabelle threatening Xandra was all over the internet.
In the video, Mirabelle could be seen clearly telling Xandra, “I would advise you not to make a cake and then eat it all by yourself – I have plenty of ways to make you agree to my request!”
But before this video spread too far, the video of Mirabelle apologizing went viral as well. She released a full account of what had happened, saying that she had indeed threatened Xandra verbally, but didn’t do anything to harm him. However someone close to her had heard these words and misunderstood her
intentions.
After forcibly getting the dance from Xandra, this person tricked Mirabelle into thinking that Xandra had changed his mind and had given up this dance willingly. She was anxious to become famous so she didn’t deny that this was her own choreography. But now. Mirabelle had told that person to turn herself in, and she had realized her mistake, and because she was feeling guilty towards her fans, she decided to retire from the scene.
In the video, Mirabelle apologized profusely and spoke very sincerely, saying things like no matter where Xandra was or what grudges he bore, she was willing to make it up to him. That as long as he appeared, she was willing to face this mistake head on.
After this video was released, a lot of people who had said nasty things about Mirabelle now took it back.
There were many others who also said things like, “Our fairy doesn’t have to be afraid! It’s just one dance, and you have plenty of other dances that are even better than “Waterfront Serenade“! Don’t leave us, the stage still needs you!”
“That’s right, don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Everyone makes mistakes! But our fairy is very brave for

coming out to admit her mistake and even making sure justice is served!”
Mirabelle’s public relations team was also working very hard they told the public that the screen that night had been hacked, so someone must have been scheming to bring Mirabelle down.
Mirabelle had gone from attacker to victim, and had become someone who was willing to repent, willing to retire from the stage because someone else had plotted against her she was impressive indeed.
–
Calista was watching this whole matter very closely. Harper had helped Mirabelle to do a lot of dirty deeds. in her previous life, but she had been sacrificed like that in this life this was really…very fun!
–
After she put her phone aside, Calista felt like something was missing.
After a while she realized that she felt like that because her life was suddenly very quiet.
Kallum was also busy before, but he would definitely call her non–stop and she could choose whether she wanted to pick up the call or not. But now he had gone overseas for ten days, and she heard that it was an important trip but she didn’t know what could be so important that he hadn’t made a single call at all.
Calista pouted and lay down her bed, tossing about from boredom.
Yelena continued staying at the Langley residence, Quincy spent the entire day outside, her father was busy working and now Kallum had disappeared….
What was he doing now?
Calista poked at her phone when suddenly it started ringing.
It was an unknown number, but Calista was sure it was Kallum. This time she didn’t decide to just reject the call, but picked it up.
“Kallum?”
There was no sound on the other end, and it was strangely quiet. Calista had a weird feeling and she sat up when there was suddenly a chortle.
“Did you miss me?”
A low and hoarse voice said those words, and Calista unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She frowned and coldly replied, “No. What do you want?”
Kallum seemed to have guessed that she would respond this way and sighed regretfully.
“Nothing. I just…really missed you..”
His lingering words tugged gently at Calista’s heartstrings, and there was a little ripple on the surface of
her heart.
Calista didn’t say anything, but Kallum’s voice was especially gentle on the other side.
“These few days I couldn’t help but think about the past, and you were right about one thing, I seem to be too extreme. You used to be so wonderful to me, but because I hated you back then, I couldn’t see it at all.”
