Dane was taken aback.

“Really? You must be the youngest director ever then, right?”

Kristine nodded with pride, then added, “I wonder if Madisyn enjoys dancing.

I could teach her.

However, growing up in the countryside, she might not have had the chance to pick up any skills.

Her voice carried a tone of compassion.

Dane’s expression grew thoughtful as he observed Kristine.

“She has her own talents.

Kristine, Madisyn is Madisyn, and you are you.

There’s no rivalry needed here.

“Dane, I get it,” Kristine responded, feeling a twinge of nervousness, wondering if Dane had picked up on her underlying feelings.

“I truly admire Madisyn.

There won’t be any issues between us.

“We are all part of the Johns family, and Mom and Dad will always treat us equally,” Dane gently reminded her.

“I know.

Dane looked at Kristine and sighed quietly to himself.

“Try to finish soon and go to bed early,” he suggested, feeling that Kristine had brushed off his advice.

“Okay,” Kristine said.

After Dane left, Kristine was left feeling completely deflated, a heavy unease pressing on her.

She didn’t mean any harm towards Madisyn.

Why did Dane say that? It felt like he was warning her, as if she had wronged Madisyn in some way.

Distressed by these thoughts, Kristine received a call from Josie.

“Kristine, would you like to attend my new product launch?” Josie said, but quickly noticed something amiss.

“Kristine, what’s the matter?”

Feeling overwhelmed, Kristine shared the recent event.

Josie was outraged.

“It’s clear as day! Madisyn must have spoken ill of you to Dane.

That bitch, she’s a cunning girl! And you, being so innocent, just can’t compete with her.

Kristine, overwhelmed with emotion, sobbed.

“I just want a peaceful life at home.

Why won’t she even allow that? Do I really need to leave the Johns family?”

“Absolutely not! Kristine, the Johns family doesn’t just need you; they rely on you.

You’re their standout, the brilliant dancer and vice president of the company.

If you go, what will happen to them? As for Madisyn, she should just keep quiet and not cause any trouble.

Come to my product launch.

This time, we’ll make sure Madisyn is put in her place.

Kristine wanted to dissuade Josie but found herself agreeing instead.

“Okay.

The garden at the Johns family’s house was breathtaking.

At night, the lights along the paths cast a tranquil and soothing glow.

As Madisyn walked with Elaine, she noticed another presence.

When she turned around, she saw Dane.

Dane said with a smile, “I didn’t think you’d notice me.

He had approached so silently, yet Madisyn had sensed him.
