Chapter 133 Genius Dancer
Lottie’s words stuck in her throat.
Claudia’s eyes and voice were cold. There was no trace of the old longing or admiration. That stunned Lottie for a moment.
Sterling lifted his eyes lazily, set his hand on Claudia’s shoulder, and looked at Wilson. “Mr. Lancaster. Please move.”
Wilson pressed his lips tight. He pulled his wife and kids aside, looking awkward.
Tilda, smiling sweetly, stepped forward. Her face lit up with charm. “Let me take you inside.”
So, Claudia, Sterling, and Tilda walked into the theater under everyone’s gaze.
Before the show even started, the audience had already seen a drama from the Lancasters.
People waiting to enter whispered to each other. Some were busy tapping on their phones, rushing to spill the gossip in their group chats.
The Lancasters still wore smiles, but the proud, calm look they had earlier was long gone.
Claudia, walking ahead with her back to them, curved her eyes slightly.
Performances should be seen live. But showing support? That was a gift she wasn’t about to give.

Wilson and Lottie finally relaxed a little after hearing Clarence and Zane’s comfort.
As long as Lydia shone tonight, all the whispers would turn into applause.

It doesn’t matter. After tonight, they wouldn’t even be on the same level anymore.

The crowd was full of big names, more than she expected. Even Florence and Celine, the masters she never thought would come, were in the audience.
That surprise sent a thrill through her.
She had thought she’d need media buzz to catch their eyes, but now she had their attention without even trying.
A confident smile spread across her lips.
