Chapter 127

Yvette acted as though she hadn’t seen anything, her expression unchanged.

“I came back early today. How about we take a walk in the garden” she suggested.

Howard nodded. He still needed to use a wheelchair, but he was able to stand with some assistance now.

Taking a few steps was manageable, and he was happy to try. “Let’s go.”

Yvette stood up and wheeled him outside. Later, as Howard was practicing standing with a walker in the garden, a servant approached.

The servant stood behind Yvette and spoke in a low voice. “Ms. Young, the trash has been taken out.”

“Good.” Yvette nodded. “Anything suspicious?”

“Here you go,” she said.

The servant handed her a small, burnt fragment, about the size of two fingers.

Yvette took it, frowning as she examined it. It looked like a corner of a photograph likely a girl’s head, based on the hairstyle.

This must have been something Howard had frantically burned earlier. ‘A picture of a girl? Why? Who is she?‘ she wondered.

“Alright, it’s nothing,” Yvette said.

“Understood, Ms. Young,” the servant nodded.

She dismissed the servant, carefully storing the fragment away.

The date for the performance had been set, this Friday, at 8:00 PM.

Being scheduled at such a prime time showed just how much Brenda valued the event and her expectations for it.

Sienna felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. This was her first big stage performance, and it was a significant milestone in her career. There was no room for failure.

Ticket sales were all online now, and that night, Sienna forced herself to go to sleep after checking the ticketing site.

Brenda had told her beforehand, “Don’t worry about the tickets selling out. Lightning Dance has always been in high demand. Just focus on dancing.

“If the premiere fails, that’s when the real trouble starts for the dance studio.”

The next morning, Sienna woke up and checked the ticketing website. Everything was sold out.
