“You must be tired after all those interviews,” Andrew said softly.


    “Let me take you all out to dinner.


    ”


    “Wow, Madisyn, your boyfriend is so thoughtful,” Rosaline teased, giving Madisyn’s arm a yful nudge.


    Boyfriend?


    Madisyn’s cheeks flushed a light pink.


    She wanted to rify, but seeing everyone joyfully heading to the car, she resigned herself to the misunderstanding.


    “Is this going to be too expensive for you?” Madisyn asked Andrew.


    “Not at all.


    As your friend, it’s only right to celebrate your sess.


    And honestly, you’ve brought honor to our country.


    A meal is the least I could give to you for that.novelbin


    ” Andrew’s words were so genuine and heartfelt that even Madisyn found them reasonable.


    After their meal, the group boarded Andrew’s private ne and headed back home.


    In Lorpond.


    The entire country had pinned its hopes on thepetition, but when word spread that Madisyn met a car ident, it felt like the world hade crashing down for the National Dance Association.


    Netizens were distraught, withments flooding in online, expressing their worry and despair.


    They believed that Madisyn was the only one who could bring home the championship.


    But she met a car ident, and no updates followed.


    The only person who seemed to be in a good mood was Kristine, who remained in the hospital.


    In recent days, neither Glenn nor ine had visited Kristine.


    She knew all too well that they were disappointed in her.


    Kristine had tried calling them, hoping to argue her case and vent her frustrations, but her attempts were met with silence.


    As the days passed, unease began to creep in, but she quickly convinced herself that their coldness was because she wasn’t their biological daughter.


    If it had been Madisyn in her ce, would they have reacted the same way? Probably not.


    epting this, she decided there was no use in feeling sad.


    She pushed her difort aside until she heard the news-Madisyn met a car ident.


    A twisted sense of joy bubbled up inside her.


    Kristine had always dreaded the possibility of Madisyn winning the championship.


    If that happened, it would only further overshadow her and deepen her humiliation.


    But now, things had taken an unexpected turn.


    Not only had Madisyn failed to win, but she had also met a car ident and was now missing.


    A thought crept into Kristine’s mind: If Madisyn never returned, their parents would have to focus on her as their only daughter.


    It felt like a gift from the heavens, and Kristine’s spirits soared.
