NovelEnglishChapter 1143:
As dizziness overtook her empty stomach, Laney stumbled, reaching blindly for support. Her hand found
purchase, only for her eyes to meet Kira Foster's cold stare.
“Sorry, | didn't see it was you.” Laney withdrew her hand quickly.
The theater's ballet company was filled with dancers from privileged backgrounds, their competitive nature
usually masked by polite facades. But Kira, the most domineering of them all, never bothered with such
pretenses. She had always viewed Laney as her rival for lead roles.
Today, seeing Laney’s vulnerability, Kira seized her chance. Under the guise of a dance move, she shoved Laney
hard, deliberately grinding her heel into Laney’s toes as she passed.
Laney bit back a cry, clutching her foot as she stumbled backward.
“Oh, sorry, | didn’t see you,” Kira said, triumph dancing in her voice.
Kailyn paused and moved over to help Laney. “What's wrong? Is your ankle okay?”

swollen.
“Damn, who did this?” Kailyn quickly turned to Kira and accused her. “It was you, wasn't it?”
Kira stood there, her arms folded across her chest, carrying the elegant grace of a swan. “It wasn’t on purpose.
Besides, she surprisedfirst. It startledand | accidentally stepped on her foot.”
Kailyn answered, “Accidentally? You crushed her foot! What are you, an elephant?”
The bystanders muffled their laughter behind their hands.
Kira was unaffected by their giggles, since the sight of Laney in discomfort pleased her enough. She replied,
feigning fear, “I'm sorry, Miss Collins. Please don’t make things difficult foror my family now that I've
apologized. | dared not target you, not with your support from the influential Collins family.”
Kailyn couldn't stand people like Kira and was about to slap her. Laney quickly pulled Kailyn back and shook her
head, signaling Kailyn to keep her composure.
What Kira said wasn’t entirely wrong. Laney did have an advantage from her family’s status, yet she had earned
her own place through hard work. She believed she deserved her position.
Kira’s family, too, was involved in significant business ventures. Laney didn’t want Kailyn getting mixed up in
this. She decided to deal with the situation herself.
