Chapter 7

Ever since Yelena joined the dance troupe because of Samuel, the troupe had gradually split into two factions.

One faction was centered around Joy and worked hard with her as their goal. The other was centered around Yelena and neglected practice. All they thought about was how to get on Yelena’s good side so that she would put in a good word about them in front of Samuel and bring them benefits.

The two factions never spoke to each other face-to-face until the end of the practice session today.

With a smile, Yelena blocked Joy. “Joy, I don’t understand a certain part. Could you teach me?”

When she saw how unusually Yelena was behaving today, Joy instinctively frowned. Just as she was about to say something, one of Yelena’s lackeys suddenly pushed her.

“What’s the meaning of this? Yelena is asking you nicely. What’s with your attitude?”

The people beside Joy could not stand it, so they stood in front of Yelena. “‘What’s the meaning of this’? I would much rather want to know what Yelena means by this. She had plenty of time to ask during practice, but she didn’t. Instead, she only came over to ask after practice was over! She’s just doing this on purpose!”

Joy did not want any conflict to arise from this. She pulled her friend back, but Yelena’s lackeys thought that they were scared and started saying even more demeaning words.

“You’re scared of us, aren’t you? I’m telling you now. Yelena is going to be Samuel’s wife very soon. It’s Joy’s honor to be able to teach her!”

“That’s right! She’s just an orphan. If she makes Yelena mad, Samuel might just chase her out!”

As they spoke, someone threw the first hit, and both factions instantly started fighting against each other.

During the chaos, Yelena suddenly arrived beside Joy and shoved her.

Joy was standing at the edge of a tall platform. Just as she was about to fall, she grabbed Yelena and dragged her down as well.

Both of them fell. Screams erupted everywhere. It was pure chaos.

When Samuel rushed over, both of them were about to be pushed into the surgery room.

The sight of them covered in blood made his face turn pale, and his usually calm voice was laced with panic.

“What’s their situation?”

A doctor hurried over. “Mr. Foster, Ms. Foster and Ms. Jones fell from the platform, and their legs were broken. Ms. Foster was pinned under Ms. Jones, so her situation is worse.

“We only have one type of special medication to treat broken legs, but Ms. Jones doesn’t need it. Should we—”

Before the doctor finished speaking, Samuel interrupted him. “Give it to Yelena!”

“But—”

“Enough talk! Perform the surgery now!”

Joy had woken up right then due to the pain, and she heard his decision. She felt as if a hammer had struck her.

He knew just how vital legs were to a dancer.

The doctor had even said that Yelena could do without the medicine.

She endured the pain and used the last shred of her strength to cry out. She had always been prideful, but at that moment, she pleaded while crying, “Please, Sammy, give me the medication.

“I don’t mind if you don’t like me. I don’t care that you left me in the mountain valley for a day and night. You know just how important my legs are to me. I can’t lose them! I want to continue dancing! Dancing is my dream! Please!”

In the end, she broke down and started crying. Huge beads of tears fell down her pale cheeks.

In the past, no matter how heavily injured Joy was, she never cried, but at the moment, she cried in such despair that it made Samuel clench his fists. He trembled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Yelena also woke up from the pain.

When she remembered the pain that came when she fell, she cried in panic as well. “Samuel, it hurts! My legs hurt… Save me…”

At that, Samuel flung Joy’s hand away and hurried over to hold Yelena. “Be good. I’ll have the doctor give you the medication right now.”

He no longer hesitated. He urged the doctor to give Yelena the medication.

Joy saw all this unfold. She hurriedly pushed herself up to reach out to Yelena so that she could grab the medication.

But her broken legs dragged her down and made her unable to move.

The cold needle pierced into Yelena’s legs, and Joy could only watch as the medication was injected into her.

He looked at me with pure disgust, flicking a five-million-dollar check toward me as if he were paying off an incompetent employee. He told me it was more money than anyone from my "trailer park" background would ever see and ordered me to hurry because Adda was waiting in the car downstairs.
