Andrew had those assants captured, following Madisyn’s directions.


    Then Madisyn and Lynda made their way back to the hotel suite with Andrew apanying them.


    Both Rosaline and Gerard were surprised by their return.


    “Madisyn, Miss Johns! You’re still alive!”


    “Why are you so thrilled?” Madisyn inquired.


    “I just saw a news report online iming you two were in a car ident!” Rosaline eximed, concern written all over her face.


    She pulled up the article on her phone and showed it to Madisyn.


    “I was so worried! Can you tell us what happened?”


    Lynda quickly summarized the situation.


    Rosaline gasped, her hand over her mouth.


    “How could those people from Mafelen be so cruel? This is too much! The news has already reached home.


    We need to tell our side of the story, or everyone will start panicking.


    ”


    “No, let’s not share anything yet,” Madisyn said.


    “Since they want me out of thepetition, I’ll just give them a big surprise.

    They opted to remain in the hotel and disregard the ongoing news.


    The following day marked the final of the international dancepetition.


    This time, even more spectators had gathered.


    Backstage, Julie, who had been knocked out in the earlier round, approached Anna, who had advanced to the final.


    “Anna, did you catch the news online? Madisyn and her team leader were in a car ident.


    Hahaha, it seems the universe is on our side.


    She’s out of the picture, so you’re facing no serious rivals.


    ”


    Anna just gave a small nod, unsurprised by the news.


    Julie read the expressions on both Bill’s and Anna’s faces and suddenly it clicked.


    “Mr.


    Carman, did you have a hand in this?”


    Bill gave Julie a stern look.


    Realizing she had spoken out of turn, Julie quickly mped her hand over her mouth.


    Anna faced Bill and questioned, “But why haven’t there been any updates?”


    The people they sent out had gone silent, as though they had disappeared into thin air.


    Bill tried to guess, saying, “Maybe they got caught by the police.


    However, Madisyn didn’t show up today.


    If she made it out, she likely got hurt and couldn’tpete in the final.


    ”


    Anna nodded, drank some water, and wore a serious expression.


    Deep down, she had really looked forward topeting with Madisyn.


    Who would have emerged as the winner between them?


    Yet, the National Dance Association of Mafelen couldn’t afford to see Anna lose, so they ensured Madisyn was out of the picture.
