Chapter 1016:
“Mind your damn business!” Fiona snapped, her frustration boiling over. She wasn’t sure what had gone awry
with Kaelyn’s plan, but her anger found an easy target in Quinn. She shoved past him again, not even bothering
to look back as she stormed out of the backstage area.
Darren, who had been standing nearby, raised an eyebrow. “What's with your girlfriend? You didn’t do anything,
and she’s blowing up at you. You okay?”

Quinn shook his head, forcing a smile. “Yeah, I'm fine. Don’t worry about it.”
Edward wandered over as well, adding, “Just don’t let this mess up our performance, okay?”
Quinn exhaled, his shoulders relaxing a bit. “I won't. I'm all in. Let's give them a good show.”
After Elyse wrapped up her solo, Edward and the others joined her on stage for the grand ensemble. During a
brief pause while the orchestra shuffled around, Quinn took the chance to sidle up to Elyse and mutter, “She’s

With a quiet sigh, she offered, “Things will work themselves out soon. Don’t worry.”

tour drew to a close.
Backstage, Elyse returned to the dressing room to change. She had barely finished when the door was flung
open. Ignoring the indignant protests of others in the room, Fiona stormed in, her eyes locked on Elyse. In a voice
as cold as ice, she commanded, “Coutside. We need to talk.”
Elyse barely glanced at her, responding with calm indifference, “I still need to remove my makeup. You'll have to
wait.”
Fiona’s impatience began to bubble over as she urged her, but Elyse, unfazed, shut her down with a sharp retort.
“Why should I rush just to suit you? Do | need to remind you of where we stand?”
Fiona’s face darkened at the words. She slammed the door shut and stormed off, her frustration boiling over.
