Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 98:

“Okay,” Andrew agreed, swiftly capturing the assailants according to Madisyn’s directions. Afterward, Madisyn and Lynda made their way back to the hotel suite with Andrew accompanying them.

Both Rosaline and Gerard were surprised by their return.

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

“Why are you so thrilled?” Madisyn inquired, raising an eyebrow.

“I just saw a news report online claiming you two were in a car accident!” Rosaline explained, concern written all over her face. She quickly 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, leaving Rosaline gasping with her hand over her mouth.noveldrama

“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,” Rosaline insisted, her voice trembling with shock.

“No, let’s not share anything yet,” Madisyn said firmly. “Since they want me out of the competition, I’ll just give them a big surprise.”

Madisyn’s determination seemed to reassure everyone. They opted to remain in the hotel and disregard the ongoing news.

The following day marked the final round of the international dance competition. This time, an even larger crowd had gathered, eager to witness the climactic performances.

Backstage, Julie, who had been eliminated 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 accident. Haha, it seems the universe is on our side. She’s out of the picture, so you’re facing no serious rivals,” Julie said, a smug grin spreading across her face.

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

Julie looked at Bill and Anna’s expressions and suddenly it clicked. “Mr. Carman, did you have a hand in this?”

Bill shot Julie a stern look. Realizing she had spoken out of turn, Julie quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Anna turned to Bill and asked, “But why haven’t there been any updates?”

The people they sent to sabotage Madisyn had gone silent, as though they had vanished 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’t compete in the final.”

Anna nodded, took a sip of water, and prepared herself for the competition.

Deep down, she had looked forward to competing against Madisyn. Who would have emerged as the true champion 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.

Anna gathered herself and prepared for her performance.

With twenty contestants left in the final, each performed in sequence. Madisyn was scheduled to perform last, but she was nowhere to be found.

Anna was the second last to perform, and her dance captivated everyone, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd.

The judges were thoroughly impressed. Everyone believed Anna would claim the championship.

The Mafelen judges exchanged knowing looks, their smugness evident. Securing the championship for the sixth year in a row was a historic achievement for their country! This victory further solidified their nation’s dominance in the world of dance.

Additionally, there were six judges in total. Only the annual champion could become a judge, and with five judges already from Mafelen, another victory would mean all six judges would be from their nation, allowing them to control future competitions.

The Mafelen crowd was ecstatic, while competitors from other nations felt the weight of impending defeat. They realized that with all judges from Mafelen, their future chances of winning were slim. They all hoped the next performer, regardless of nationality, could dazzle the crowd and challenge Mafelen’s dominance.

Sadly, no subsequent performer outshined Anna.

“The final contestant is Madisyn Johns from Lorpond!” the host announced before stepping off the stage.

But the stage remained empty.

The atmosphere grew tense.

Many in the audience were aware that something bad had happened to Madisyn. If she couldn’t compete, Mafelen was certain to claim the championship, casting a shadow over the future of the international dance world.

Tension gripped the audience, while the Mafelen supporters remained calm, their smiles brimming with confidence.

Backstage, Anna watched the empty stage, her feelings conflicted.
