From Divorce To Dominance

As soon as Darren sent that message, he suddenly felt it was a bit too vague and doting. He thought, "Will Natalie misinterpret that I have feelings for her? She always overthinks!

Then Darren quickly sent two more messages to clear things up. I don't have time to handle your troubles. Behave yourself and stop trying to use tricks to get my attention.] [Men only like women who are obedient and well-behaved.] Natalie was speechless when she saw the messages. She thought. Why should I care what men like? She looked at the unfamiliar number and sensed the strong narcissism and arrogance in every word. She didn't even have to guess who sent it. She twitched her lips and felt sick. She decided to completely ignore him and then continued to watch videos.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Darren had seen this entire scene. He thought Natalie was replying to his message. But after waiting for a while, he still hadn't gotten any message. Then he smiled meaningfully. He thought, 'She wants to reply to me but deliberately holds herself back? Is she playing hard to get?" Actually, videos.

he didn't really expect a reply from her. He had a lot of work to do. Darren put the tablet which was still playing the livestream aside and finally started looking at the documents. He would occasionally look up at it. Natalie really spent the whole afternoon watching At 5 p.m., the livestream for today was about to end. Susan finally stopped fiddling with the guitar. She clapped her hands and gathered the team. "Guys, attention, please. We have half an hour left. Let's have a quick meeting. Have you memorized the lyrics?" Susan's outfit and demeanor made her look like a leader. A few team members responded lazily, "Almost"

Mandy glanced at Natalie intentionally. "We've all memorized the lyrics, but we don't know how Ms. Xavier is doing."

Til memorize it now." Natalie put away her phone, picked up the paper with lyrics from the table, and gave it a quick glance.

She only spent less than two minutes on that. When Susan spoke again, Natalie had already put down the paper.

Susan said, "I've finished the music, and I'll give it to you now. Please practice with the lyrics on your own tonight. Tomorrow, we'll assign the parts and start practicing?"

Hearing this, Natalie frowned.

Mandy noticed this and couldn't help but scoff, "Ms. Xavier, any problem? You should've memorized the lyrics today. We won't wait for you tomorrow! We don't have much time for practice. If you still can't remember the lyrics tomorrow, you can sing less!" Natalie looked at Mandy and smiled. "Cuess why I didn't speak just now. Because you made me speechless. Mandy said angrily, "What did you say? Mind your words!"

Natalie was really speechless. She shrugged and said, "Alas. That what I want to say-Read more books and mind your own. business!"

Mandy had dreamed of becoming an influencer. Since she was pretty, she stopped going to school after graduating from middle school three years ago to fulfill her influencer dream. She hadn't learned a lot since she would get sleepy as soon as she read a book.

Sometimes she couldn't completely understand what Natalie said, but she didn't dare to yell back, for fear that she would say something wrong and get mocked by others.

Therefore, Mandy just stood there awkwardly. Her expression changed many times, but in the end, she just pouted and got angry silently

Viewers: [LOL. I suddenly feel bad for Mandy. She wants to scold Natalie but dares not to do that.]

Mind your own business, Mandy.]

[Natalie is so interesting. She's really good at scolding people without cursing.]

[Read more books, guys!Then you can also scold others in a polite way!!

[Wanna compete?]

Susan cleared her throat to break the tension. "Ms. Xavier, try to memorize the lyrics today.

“One more thing. The program team said that starting today, all participants are required to live stream on TikTok for at least an hour after 7 pm, every night to interact with fans and get more popularity. It'll decide whether you can stay or not, so I hope everyone takes this seriously." At 5:30 pm, the livestream ended. As soon as the camera was off, Mandy was the first to rush out of the dancing room with her lyrics and sheet music. Seeing that, the others looked at each other and also left one after another.

They had to have dinner, put on makeup, and get ready for tonight's livestream

Since they Susan

weren't capable enough, they could only hope these interactions would attract more fans.

was the second to last to leave. Before she walked out, she noticed that Natalie was still there.

She asked, "Ms. Xavier, aren't you leaving?"

am." Natalie replied. I'm just going over the sheet music."

Tam.

Susan had other personal matters to deal with, so she didn't linger and just left after nodding.

Natalie focused on the sheet music again.

Susan's talent was truly impressive. The song they got was Dangerous Heartbeat. The original song already had an almost perfect rhythm, but Susan managed to add various subtle changes to the melody, enhancing its original charm while adding her own style. Some changes seemed minor but made a big difference. Some seemed simple but became the highlight when looking at the entire piece.

Natalie went through the sheet music twice and still wanted to go through it again. The whole song was incredibly smooth and amazing. Natalie thought excitedly'If we take this to battle, we've already won half the battle! Combined with her choreography, it'll definitely impress everyone!" Imagining that such a perfect combination would appear soon, Natalie blushed with excitement. She really wanted to share this joy. Suddenly, she heard a vague conversation coming from outside. "Where's the sheet music? She has already finished it? Let me see!" Natalie's smile froze. She seemed to have heard something she shouldn't have. She didn't even want to listen, but her bearing was just too good. No matter how softly they tried to speak, Natalie could still hear every word. One said, "Susan really is a talented songwriter. This song will definitely become a hit song as soon as it's released!" Natalie was familiar with these two voices since these two people both had had conflicts with her before. "Excellent! With her music and my dance, we might even defeat Alice and get first place!" Tessa's voice trembled as she

spoke. "You did a good job this time! No one else found out about this, right?"

Mandy shook her head. "No, I've checked. They've all left. Tessa, I've done as you said. What about the promise you made to
