?Chapter 808:


    Cole’s answer was direct and cutting. “I’m saying there was no real engagement between Wanda and me. I have no ns to marry her.”


    In Cole’s mind, he’d always nned to marry the legitimate Campbell heir. Since Wanda was nothing but an adopted girl, the whole arrangement was worthless from the start. Of course, he wouldn’t exactly admit that his real target was the actual Campbell daughter, especially when that daughter happened to be Milton’s little sister. After practically staking a im on Lh right in front of Milton, announcing he nned to marry his sister would have been inadequate.<fn4058> This update is avable on Find?Novel</fn4058>


    Milton,pletely oblivious to the storm of thoughts racing through Cole’s head, just found the whole thing bizarre. The world might sing Cole’s praises for being brilliant and calcting, but right now, the man sounded like he was losing his grip on reality.


    Milton couldn’t wrap his mind around it. What did Cole mean to say? He had personally flown to meet with Eva not that long ago to finalize everything. Had he suddenly developed amnesia? Or was he just the type of person who broke promises whenever it suited him?


    In the end, whatever drama was brewing between Cole and Wanda wasn’t Milton’s problem. He figured both Wanda and Eva would eventually end up discarded like yesterday’s garbage anyway.


    With that thought, Milton let out a short, dismissive chuckle and shifted his focus away from Cole. Trying to make sense of his jumble of words was nowhere near as interesting as watching Lh’s mesmerizing performance.


    Right at that moment, the fountains on both sides of the stage suddenly sprang to life. Massive jets of water exploded upward, creating graceful arcs that rose and fell in perfect sync with the beat of the music. The water patterns shifted and changed like living sculptures, each movement more dramatic than thest.


    The dance was building toward its grand finale. As the music swelled to thunderous heights, the fountains responded with equal power, their torrents surging with raw energy and beauty.

    With the fountains creating a stunning backdrop, the performance transformed into something truly magical. The audience’s energy exploded, filling the venue with thunderous apuse and excited whistles that seemed to shake the very ground.


    “This is absolutely incredible! Who came up with this idea?”


    “The choreography is beautiful, and those fountains make it perfect!”


    But as Elliana watched the sudden water disys and felt the crowd’s wild enthusiasm washing over her, a small crease appeared between her eyebrows. Something felt off. No one had mentioned anything about fountains during any of their rehearsals. Had the organizers simply forgotten to mention this detail? Or had someone made a spontaneous decision to add them at thest second?


    Worried now, Elliana quickly looked toward the side of the stage where her dance instructor was stationed. The instructor’s face showed the same confusion that Elliana felt churning in her own stomach.


    In that moment, everything clicked into ce for Elliana. The fountains weren’t supposed to be part of their performance at all. So, who had turned them on? Was someone genuinely trying to make their show more spectacr, or was there something darker behind this unexpected surprise? A cold wave of dread began building in her chest.


    Meanwhile, in the audience, Trinity’s eyes practically glowed with wicked satisfaction. She bent close to Chloe’s ear and whispered urgently, “You’re absolutely certain this is going to work?”


    Chloe puffed up with cocky confidence, tapping her chest. “Rx. I’ve got everything arranged. This is going to work. We’ll drench Lh until she looks like a drowned rat. No amount of fancy makeup will be able to hide that disgusting scar by then.”
