Upon arriving home, ine turned to Madisyn with a soft, maternal gaze and advised, “You should get some rest.


    ”


    Madisyn cast a sidelong nce at her, bit her lip in contemtion, and gave a nod.


    She retreated to her room, and, given the restless night she’d endured, she slipped into a deep, undisturbed slumber almost instantly.


    When she awoke, the world around her had transformedpletely.


    News of Kristine’s fall had taken over the inte, with everyone convinced that Madisyn was the one who had shoved her down the stairs.


    The usations painted her actions as monstrously malicious!


    Many online voices were rising in condemnation against Madisyn.


    “What kind of person is Madi? How did someone with such questionable morals even be a dance master? Just because Kristine had doubts about her, she’s holding a grudge and sabotaged Kristine’s chance at the internationalpetition?”


    “Kristine has worked with so much dedication; We share the same teacher, and she’s poured her heart and soul into thispetition!”


    “No matter how talented Madi is at dancing, her character is awful.


    Someone like that doesn’t deserve to represent our country!”


    “Even if she’s Madi, she should still face the consequences!”


    “Poor Kristine, it’s truly heartbreaking to see her suffer like this!”


    Public opinion overwhelmingly favored Kristine, leaving Madisyn to face a storm of condemnation.


    Madisyn skimmed through the trendingments, a dark glint shing in her eyes.


    Kristine was really ying dirty.


    Before thepetition, Kristine was so bent on framing her that she even threw herself down the stairs!novelbin


    She couldn’t fathom why Kristine harbored such deep-seated hatred toward her.


    And why did everyone seem so fascinated by this drama of falling down the stairs? Jenna had done this to her, too!


    Madisyn got up, went through the morning routine, and made her way downstairs, where she found ine and Glenn talking.


    ine’s face was etched with distress.


    “I never imagined things would spiral out of control with our daughters like this.


    Could adopting Kristine have been a mistake?”


    “Don’t dwell on it.


    No matter how well we provide for the kids, we can’t dictate their character.


    ”


    This was a heavy blow for ine.


    She looked like she hadn’t slept a wink, her usual vitality reced by a weary, drawn appearance.


    Yet, upon spotting Madisyn, she swiftlyposed herself, a smile blooming on her lips.


    “Madisyn, you’re awake? Pack up your things and head to thepetition with your aunt.


    ”


    Madisyn pressed her lips together and said, “I want to go see Kristine at the hospital.


    ”


    “Alright, you can go.
