Chapter 114
The public had feasted on the gossip, and the stain of sharing a mistress with his son would never fully fade.
Farrell Group’s stock took a hit for several days straight as a result.
Over the next few days, the mentors worked closely with the trainees on song arrangement, choreography, and rehearsal.
Alicia played an especially active role in the dance creation, contributing several striking moves, though the overall choreography remained largely trainee–led.
Simon and Hannah once again tapped into their network, inviting outside friends to offer fresh perspectives to their team.
Meanwhile, neither Nicolas nor Maxwell took a back seat, both stepped up with thoughtful input and guided their team’s choreography with steady hands.
Team I never managed to settle their creative differences.
Nicole was adamant about using her own rearranged track, and this time Felicity didn’t back down either. She stood firmly behind her version.
With neither willing to compromise, they eventually agreed to present two distinct styles within the same
stage.
Nicole would go first with four of the trainees, followed by Felicity with the remaining four.
Rehearsals were conducted separately, each mentor drilling their own team.
Even the choreography was adjusted to ensure both Nicole and Felicity took center stage in their respective
sections.
The day before the live showcase, all teams rehearsed in full costume for the final run–through.
The daily live stream was paused for the day, a break for the audience, and a deliberate tease to build anticipation for the upcoming performance.
After Alicia’s team wrapped their rehearsal, the director, Chase, had come over with a stack of tickets for the following day’s event.
“If any of your family or friends want to come watch, come grab tickets from me,” he said.
Most of the trainees stepped forward to claim passes. Their families would be in the audience.
Darren took several for his relatives as well.
Chase then glanced toward Alicia. “Ms. Delaney, will you be inviting anyone p>

He remembered from earlier episodes that Alicia was no longer in touch with her family.
“I’ll take one for a friend,” Alicia replied with a light smile.

Jason had mentioned he’d come to support her, so she set aside a ticket for him. He’d attend simply as a friend.
In this life, she’d only grown close to Darren within the industry. The others were still more acquaintances than friends.
Outside of entertainment, she still kept in touch with former mentors, classmates, and close friends.
But since this was just a mentoring appearance with the real spotlight on the trainees and given that her outside circle had little connection to the industry, she decided not to extend the invitation.
Because she only asked for one ticket, Chase handed her a seat in the very center of the family section before moving on to offer tickets to the other teams‘ mentors.
Nicole requested four. Since Leo and her mother were still abroad, she reserved them for the three Hammond brothers and Collin.
Nicolas asked for two, planning to invite his parents. He also saw it as a chance for his mother to meet Alicia.
Maxwell, on the other hand, took more than a dozen, enough for his esports teammates, his eldest brother, and three of his cousins.
Back in her hotel room, Nicole phoned each of the three Hammond brothers and Collin, inviting them to the showcase with the tickets she had set aside. All four accepted.
Not long after, Maxwell made his rounds of calls as well.
During their conversation, Kevin asked, “Did Alicia get tickets for the family section too p>
“She did,” Maxwell confirmed. “But we rehearsed in separate teams, so I don’t know how many she asked for p>
A thoughtful smile crossed Kevin’s face. “Then let’s take the seats from Alicia’s tickets this time p>
The last rift between them had started when they chose Nicole’s performance over Alicia’s.
Now that both sisters were sharing the same stage, there was no need to pick sides.
Hoping to mend things, Kevin decided it would be best to accept whatever tickets Alicia offered, a small gesture to show she hadn’t been forgotten.
Maxwell agreed. “Good idea. If you don’t sit where she invites you, she’ll only get upset again p>
Their relationship was still fragile. Another misstep could make things worse.
Kevin added, “Could you also have a quiet word with the director p>

“Make sure we’re seated in the four spots from Alicia’s allocation.
“The seats you and Nicole arranged for us can go to someone else.
“That way, no seats go empty, and Nicole won’t feel slighted p>
But would Alicia even send them tickets?
Somewhere deep down, Kevin believed she would.
“I’ll take care of it,” Maxwell replied.

‘If my three cousins and Kevin sit in Alicia’s seats, he thought to himself, ‘maybe that’ll be enough to patch things up between them!
