Olivia, who had everyone running around worrying about her, was now lying in the hospital, her eyes burning with rage.

The dance troupe had just called her–because of her injury, she couldn’t perform, so the opportunity she’d been scheming for had to go to her understudy.

Originally, the lead role of the Black Swan was supposed to be hers, no question.

She’d spent over half a year preparing for this tour. If she nailed it, there was even a chance to land the lead in a new choreography by an internationally renowned dance master.

That was why, even when she staged the car accident, she made sure not to get seriously hurt–she couldn’t risk her career.

But Natasha went straight for the kill and wrecked her leg in one move.

‘How dare she? Back in the day, Natasha would’ve just taken the hit to her dance career without a word. When did she learn to fight back and plot revenge?

‘This is unacceptable!‘ Olivia roared inwardly.

Thankfully, she had no clue the courtyard she was about to inherit was now a pile of ash. Otherwise? Forget the broken leg–nothing short of a coma would’ve kept her from losing her shit.

Olivia hung up the phone, her eyes red, putting on a face that screamed, “I’m upset but don’t want anyone to worry.”

Lucas, who was keeping a close eye on her, immediately noticed something was off. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Does it hurt? I’ll call the doctor.”

“No!” She reached out and grabbed his hand. “Well, the troupe just told me someone else got the Black Swan lead. I’m just a little disappointed.”

She held back her tears, forcing a smile that would make anyone’s heart ache.

Lucas fell silent. He knew how much this role meant to her.

“Sorry about that. Natasha’s the type who acts first and thinks later. I’ll make it up to you properly, promise,” he said.

Olivia watched his hand slip away like nothing happened. And when she heard him apologize like he was family to Natasha, a cold fury flashed in her eyes. “It’s fine. I get it. After all, Natasha was always Grandma’s favorite.

“It’s normal for her to claim Grandma’s things as her own. Honestly, if she really can’t let willing to give her the house. Even though it holds so many memories for me, I don’t want to see
