Chapter 203
Chapter: 203
Jasper’s heart ached with jealousy as he gazed upon Ariana, living a life filled with success and abundance. Initially, it was Adrian who had lent her a helping hand, but now there was also the magnanimous Ivan.
How could he have foreseen that Ivan was not just anyone, but someone with an influential network, even having a close friendship with the renowned Steven?
Life truly was unfair. @ The night of the final was alive with excitement, with five hundred people in attendance at the venue.
As Ariana awaited the start of the show, she caught sight of two familiar faces sitting just a few rows in front of her. They were Sarah's loved ones, Molly and Alina, both masked and hidden under their hats.
As fate would have it, there was an empty seat next to Alina and Ariana made her way over, gracefully gliding past Jasper as she took her seat.
Molly greeted Ariana with a warm smile and handed over Alina, who was nestled in her arms. Ariana had grown particularly fond of the young girl, taking her out for playdates whenever her schedule allowed. © Alina was no longer wary or resistant in Ariana’s presence, but instead, calmly and obediently rested in her arms.
As the performers took the stage one by one, Ariana kept a watchful eye on her phone, eager to keep track of the live comments from the online audience.
Finally, Sarah's moment to shine arrived.
As she made her way onto the stage, the audience was left in awe at her stunning appearance. The live comments section lit up with praises and admiration for her.
“Sarah's beauty shines like a star!”
“Her dress, a work of art, bears the signature of Steven’s masterful touch!”
“A true fairy graces the stage, with Sarah’s presence.”
“Didn't she announce she would quit the competition? Was this all just a joke?” “Sarah can do as she pleases. Just mind your own business.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Let us raise our voices in admiration for Sarah tonight!”
“Shame on you for seeking attention, Sarah”
As the comments flooded in, a mixture of adoration and criticism, the network became sluggish, almost causing Ariana to lose connection.
As the tension rose, everyone held their breath in anticipation of Sarah’s performance. The stage was bathed in light as all eyes were fixed on Sarah. Ariana’s heart raced as she hugged Alina close, feeling a rush of nervous excitement.
But just as the accompaniment was about to start, Sarah made a surprising move, gesturing for the music to stop.
