“So, Noelle, what’s your take on this situation?”
Noelle responded calmly, “Since my dress is ruined and I can’t go on stage, just tell them I’m ill. The other five can carry on with the show.”
“No, that won’t work. We’ve been rehearsing the group dance for weeks.
If you drop out, we’ll have to rearrange the whole routine. We have less than ten minutes left, and the banquet is about to start. We don’t have time to make changes. It’ll be a disgraceful performance if we try to finish the show with a shoddy dance.”
“Exactly! We might as well cancel the show. I won’t let myself be humiliated!”
“Yes, Miss Simmons, please help us!”
After a moment of contemplation, Lucinda pulled the agent aside and inquired, “How much did the Hernandez family pay for the show?”
“They were very gracious and agreed to a contract worth fifty million dollars. If we breach the contract now, there’ll be a penalty of five hundred million dollars. Miss Simmons, please think it through!”
Lucinda sneered.
“Who said I was going to breach the contract? They don’t deserve a penny of my money!”
The agent looked confused.

“So, what’s your plan then?”

Lucinda didn’t respond. Instead, she beckoned the housemaid from the Hernandez family who was passing by.
“Go and find Melody. Tell her to come here. I need to speak to her face-to-face.”
The maid hesitated, saying, “The party is about to begin. Miss Hernandez might be in her room fixing her makeup and won’t be available to see any guests.”
“Tell her that if she doesn’t come, I’ll publicly announce the postponement of the party before the media and all the guests until she’s willing to resolve the issue.”
Delaying the start of the event was a major taboo. The maid was taken aback by the determination in Lucinda’s eyes. She rushed upstairs immediately.
A few minutes later, Melody walked downstairs.
She crossed her arms and asked hurriedly, “What do you want to talk about?”
The agent moved forward and explained, “Miss Hernandez, the costume of one of our team members have been torn by someone, so we are unable to perform at the moment. As the costumes were provided by you for the best presentation at your banquet, can you please..
Before she could finish her sentence, Melody cut her off sharply.
“Those costumes were custom-made, and I already handed them over to you. How dare you come to me after tearing them?”
She snorted and defiantly looked at Lucinda.
“If they will be unable to perform well, then get out of my house and pay for the damages!”
