Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Chapter 38

As Emmalie walked out, someone outside was already urging her to hurry. She grabbed the music sheet from the table and lifted her dress slightly as she made her way. Passing by Thea, she couldn't help but shoulder-check her hard. Watching her storm off, Thea smiled faintly before heading back to the stage.

However, the staff didn't prepare a seat for her. Instead, with a bit of impatience, one of them pointed to a chair on stage. saying, "See that seat on the left? That's specially reserved for you by Ms. Rowland. "She said you're still her sister, and having you sit beside her during the performance might let you share a bit of the spotlight."

Sharing the spotlight wasn't really the issue. Emmalie had already prepared a flood of press releases from the previous day. twisting the confrontation between her and Thea at the party.

In the stories, Emmalie was once again portrayed as the helpless, beautiful, and graceful piano master who was left in tears, and bullied by Thea.

Now, having Thea sit next to her during the performance essentially turned Emmalie into the contrast the audience could.

While Emmalie basked in the praise, Thea would be the one to receive the ridicule.

In the past, Thea would never have gone along with Emmalie's games, but today, she was oddly looking forward to i

Thanks for the great seat, Emmalie. Give me a perfect view to watch the show, she thought.

Smiling at the staff, Thea said, "Got it. Then she made her way onto the stage confidently.

At that moment, Emmalie, all dressed to the nines and radiant, stepped onto the stage as well. The two sisters appearing at same time caused a stir in the crowd.

Emmalie had a look of surprise and discomfort, acting as if she had no idea Thea would be there. She kept glancing at The out of the corner of her eye as if struggling to find the right words. Thea wasn't interested in watching her little act and let out a soft chuckle. "What's the hold-up, Emmalie? Hurry up and start playing, everyone's waiting."

This only cemented Thea's reputation as the villain. And everyone started to remark.

"WTF, what's her problem?"

"Yeah, why is she up there? This is supposed to be Emmalie's moment."

"She's just jealous of her sister getting the spotlight. Can't stand being upstaged."

"I heard the university didn't even want her here today. She made a scene at the entrance, and Emmálie, being the kind soul she is, allowed her in."

"She thinks being rude is cool? Please, she's embarrassing herself

Ignoring the snide remarks from the crowd. Thea looked at Emmalie with a mocking smile. "What's wrong? Forgot how to play? Do you need me to give you a few pointers?"

Emmalie bit her lip, trying to hold back her frustration, but in the end, she could only let out a long sigh.

Thea's smile grew. How delicate and innocent you look, Emmalie. I wonder if you'll be able to keep that composure later!

Emmalic composed herself and began playing, her delicate fingers dancing across the piano keys gracefully. The melodious. notes flowed through the air as she sat perfectly poised under the spotlight, seemingly glowing from head to toe. The audience stared at Emmalie in awe

Meanwhile. Thea's gaze remained cold. This was supposed to be my stage. Why does Emmalie get to sit there so comfortably, soaking in all the praise" she thought.

When the piece ended, the host quickly took the stage to engage Emmalie with a few questions before turning to Thea. His tone became sharp as he asked, "Ms. Rowland, as Emmalie's sister what's your reason for coming up here! Are you trying to get more attention for y

As soon as the host finished speaking, muffled laughter spread through the audience. People watched her with eyes full of disdain racer for the drama.

Before Thea could respond. Emmalie interjected quickly. "My sister didn't mean to She's just worried about me, that's all. And our family understands her behavior, so please, don't take it to heart."

Tears welled up in Emmalie's eyes as if she were trying hard not to cry. She looked like someone who had been wronged but was too kind to speak up, and the crowd's anger turned to rage quickly. Looks like Thra's been bullying Emmalie at home for a long time"

"Remember all the stuff she pulled before? Son of a bitch! It's disgusting!

"Could she be kicked out of the university? Look, Emmalie was having a great day, and now it's ruined because of her."

Get our Get out?

Emmalie approached and took Thea's hand gently, pretending to be concerned. Thea, I think everyone's getting a little upset. Maybe you should go. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to them"

Even the host couldn't help but jump in to defend Emmalie. "Mc Rowland, this is your stage. Why are you going out of your way to explain to someone else? You're too kind for your own good. It's easy for people to take advantage of that," Emmalie shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, my sister isn't bullying me. She just has a bit of a temper

The pulled her hand back and let out a cold laugh. "Leave? I've got thick skin. I don't mind the noise. Besides, wasn't this seat arranged for me by my dear little sister?"

Thea continued, her voice taking on a mocking edge. "But the way you're talking, it's almost like I forced you to set it up."

Emalie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why would you say that. Thea? Weren't you the one who insisted Larrange it for your I've been defending you in front of everyone, and you're still not satisfied! Do you really need to humiliate me in front of them?

"Tes. I do. Thea admitted with a smirk casually "How'd you know that's exactly what I want? Go ahead, cry for me it I make me feel better

Somone in the crowd couldn't take it anymore and threw something at the stage. The tension in the room escalated, with people shenating for Them to leave

"Nicolas!" Emmalie's eyes lit up as she saw him, and she seemed ready to run to his side, though something held her back. The love and longing in her eyes were unmistakable as she looked at him.

But Nicolas didn't respond. His focus remained fixed on Thea.

Thea had fallen silent since Nicolas arrived, avoiding his gaze as a complicated emotion flickered in her eyes. Why is he here? For Emmalie? she wondered.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Though our relationship is only on paper, we're still married. How could he come here to support Emmalie without considering how furious it would make me? Thea thought.

The more Thea thought about it, the more upset she became. Without sparing him a single glance, she decided to ignore Nicolas completely.

To everyone, though, this strange interaction between the three of them seemed to suggest something entirely different.
