The audience who came to see the Royal group's performance was really crowded. Malibu Academy invested a stage with a capacity of hundreds of thousands of people, beaming chandeliers and various props.
Principal Peter sat next to several teachers in the academy and kept laughing and talking. People may not know why this stage is so lavishly invested, but Principal Peter does. All thanks to Sir Dominic's huge investment, Dominic even told him himself that this money was for his fiancée to have the most perfect performance.
"And here is the play that everyone is looking forward to the most... The play "Swan Lake" performed by the Royal team."
After the host announced, the whole Royal group walked out on stage. The audience immediately cheered in surprise.
"Oh, this time the ballerina with Garrick Harvey is Esther Joan? Did she really beat Kaylin to get this center position?"
"It looks like Esther Joan is the rising star of the Malibu academy."
"She looks so beautiful, her beauty is unreal. In my opinion, she is much more suitable for the role of the cursed princess than Kaylin Joan."
Hearing my praises, I glanced slightly to the right of where Kaylin was standing. Her expression was bad, but she still managed to smile gracefully. Maybe she didn't know how wry her smile looked.
For the first time, the center position was no longer for Kaylin, all the glory belonged to me, and the performance was also extremely successful.
After the performance, all members of the Royal group stood in a horizontal line and greeted the audience.
The lights went out in everyone's surprise, and I silently smiled.
"Layla is a pitiful person who is easy to take advantage of... Yes, it was I who came up with a plan to harm her... Why would she take my center position?...
Ah... Baldric, that's right... I like your dick better than my boyfriends..."
A lewd scene appeared on the projection screen. Kaylin's face suddenly paled and panicked, because she was the girl who was moaning lewdly in that video. Based on the angle of view, Kaylin was secretly filmed from outside the window. Soon after, the video evidence of Baldric playing my photo on the screen was revealed one after another.
It happened that Baldric and Kaylin were standing side by side. Kaylin seemed startled, and Baldric was dumbfounded.
"This isn't true. I didn't do those cruel things."
Kaylin shouted loudly and burst into tears. She looked at the audience and begged everyone to believe her. But Principal Peter was very angry, he did not let Kaylin and Baldric explain any more, he immediately called security to come and drag them away.
This was the first time people had seen Kaylin lose control like that. She could no longer maintain her usual calm and calm demeanor. Kaylin's cries echoed everywhere, she was like a madwoman screaming and crying.
"Didn't expect that the girl who was once the best in Malibu Academy could do such terrible things. She's such a slut!"
"Did you hear her? She meticulously planned to ruin the life of a girl she envied. It's scary."
"Hahaha, what I noticed was that she said she had a lot of boyfriends."
It seemed that after just one day, Kaylin's good reputation had completely collapsed. At Malibu Academy's biggest annual event, Kaylin was exposed for her crimes, which will probably remain rumored for a long time.
I see Veronica smiling and winking at me. I also smiled at her. My revenge plan was successful. I used the same way that Kaylin made me feel the most humiliated to make her taste the same feeling.
That night, Dominic came to pick me up.
"You also dare to take revenge, the trick is also very clever." Dominic looked at me with appreciative eyes.
"Eh, how do you know that? And it's no good to mention it." I was embarrassed when my bad deeds were exposed, but Dominic didn't think so. He said that if someone bullies, they must make that person receive more severe punishment.
Everything at Malibu Academy seemed to be under his control.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I thought that the person who called me was Veronica, so I happily picked up the phone without looking at the caller's name.
Unexpectedly, the sound came from a man.
"Hello, Miss Esther Joan. I'm your lawyer, Kevin."
I was startled and looked at Dominic, but seeing that he was still focused on driving, I was relieved. I pretended I was calling Veronica, said two or three words and quickly hung up. Right after that, I texted my lawyer Kevin that I was busy and asked him to communicate via text.
"Are you free tomorrow? Come over to my lawyer's office and let's talk about your inheritance." Attorney Kevin texted.
"Okay." I give a short reply.
Compared to Mr. Curtis, Kaylin's cunning and shrewdness were not to be feared. I knew for sure that my father was plotting something against me, and his silence made me even more wary. Perhaps Dominic's current fiancee status would make him hesitate to harm me. But I knew that soon, when Dominic stopped protecting me, he would make me miserable.
Taking advantage of the remaining two months, I needed to get the inheritance as quickly as possible.
She still hadn't mentioned to Dominic that she had hired an attorney. She felt that asking him too much would make her dependent on him, so it was better for her to be independent.
The next morning, as soon as Dominic left home to go to work, I also went to Kevin's lawyer's office.
This office is quite large and looks very formal. The staff of the lawyer's office were all busy working, only a secretary led me to lawyer Kevin's private office. The office is located on the first floor, with a modern and elegant layout that makes people feel secure and comfortable when looking at it.
Since we had already met once, we quickly discussed the matter.
"This is a contract to hire a lawyer. Please read it carefully, because it is quite long." Attorney Kevin gave me the contract and advised. "If you have any questions, just ask me, I will answer."
"Okay." I took a deep breath, reading the contract intently. I read each sentence very carefully, if there is anything I don't understand, I ask him again.
I have followed the artistic path since childhood, my education is not high, so when I read texts like this I am really confused. No one has ever taught me legal knowledge, if I am not careful, it is easy to be deceived. Actually, it's not that I don't want to believe attorney Kevin, but it's still a good idea to be on the lookout for bad situations that could arise.
"I heard your mother passed away. May she rest in peace."
"Um."
"So you live alone now?" Mr. Kevin lit a cigarette and asked me questions while he waited for me to read the contract.
"It's not like that, I'm living with an acquaintance."
"Acquaintance?" Attorney Kevin raised an eyebrow. Waited for a long time and still did not see me say anything more, he reminded me. "Miss Esther Joan, if you want us to have a good partnership, the most important thing is trust. I need to understand my client."
"...You can consider him my boyfriend."
"Is your relationship good?"
"Yeah."
"So your boyfriend..."
"Attorney Kevin." I interrupted him. "I'm done reading."
"Oh, then sign your name here." He stopped asking me questions that were too personal.
I didn't feel the need to tell him too much of my confidential information, because it had nothing to do with my property dispute with my father.
We continued to talk for about an hour until I got a phone call.
"Aren't you at home?"
It was Dominic calling me.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Are you going out with your friends?"
I glanced at attorney Kevin, then hummed in response. Dominic didn't say anything more, just told me to come home early, and then he hung up.
Outside the window sounded the sound of a car engine, I turned my head to look and only saw a puff of smoke.
