They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 645

Chapter 646: Who’s That?

Linda’s fingers twitched. "What?" she whispered under her breath.

"Do you want her to excel again? Or do you want George to finally see who truly deserves him? Move. Now."

She hesitated, but then stood, pretending to adjust her shoe before slowly walking down toward the front, where the view was clearer. Security did not stop her, students often moved closer to watch major performances.

From her bag, she subtly pulled out a small handful of shiny stage confetti pellets she had picked up earlier, tiny and harmless looking, barely visible when thrown under the bright lights.

"Just a little distraction," she muttered.

Then, as Nnenna spun across the stage in a dazzling mid turn, Linda’s hand flicked, scattering the tiny beads across a narrow section of the stage floor near the front edge. No one noticed.

But Nnenna did, or rather, her body did.

Mid spin, her left foot slipped slightly. The movement faltered, her balance breaking for a fraction of a second. The crowd gasped softly, thinking it was part of the choreography, but Arthur and Carl immediately caught the subtle change.

Arthur’s eyes narrowed.

Carl frowned. "That was not part of the routine."

But before either could react, Nnenna steadied herself. Her eyes flashed with quiet determination as she quickly adjusted her rhythm, turning the slip into a fluid recovery step that flowed perfectly into the next beat of the music.

The applause grew even louder, unaware that she had just avoided disaster.

Linda watched with disbelief. "No way... how—?"

"Useless girl," the voice hissed darkly in her ear. "You can’t even get a simple thing done."

Linda’s face drained of color. The voice’s tone was laced with venom, each word sinking like a knife.

"B-but I tried—" she whispered shakily.

"Try harder next time... if there is a next time."
