Mother and daughter as enemies Chapter 10

10 

The day of the competition arrived

I sat in the same seat as last time, watching 

Ashley dance

She danced with passion and precision

The audience was captivated

The auditorium was silent, as if holding its 

breath for the butterfly about to emerge from 

its cocoon

Tears welled up in my eyes. This girl, who 

loved dance so much, was finally shining on 

stage

Ashley finished her dance and took a bow

The next dancer was Chloe

I was shocked. After claiming she hated 

dance, she was competing after all

Despite her natural talent, Chloe hadn’t taken 

care of herself. She’d gained weight, and her 

lack of practice showed

く 

She twisted her ankle during a turn and had 

to be helped off stage

I watched her go, feeling nothing

She had chosen this path

Ashley won the competition and received

scholarship to Juilliard

Reporters swarmed her, and Ashley faced 

them with grace. I wouldn’t be here today 

without Mrs. Miller,she said

I owe this win to her.” 

My biggest dream is to make it big and 

repay her kindness.” 

Her eyes, shining with tears, found mine in 

the crowd. “Thank you, Mrs. Miller.” 

I waved back, then felt a burning glare. I knew 

it was Chloe

Suddenly, Chloe grabbed the MC’s 

microphone. Her voice, filled with venom

echoed through the auditorium

Jane Miller! You’re the most evil woman in 

the world!” 

Are you happy now that I lost?” 

Ashley, you’re disgusting, sucking up to my 

mom to get ahead!” 

Both of you make me sick!” 

Г 

I wouldn’t want a win like that! It’s 

pathetic!” 

The audience gasped, staring at us

Ashley looked at me, worried, but I shook my 

head

I calmly addressed Chloe

I raised you on my own, scrimped and saved 

to pay for your dance classes. How am

evil?” 

I don’t care whether you win or lose. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.” 

Ashley works hard. She’s a good kid.

admire her and I didn’t want her to give up on 

her dream. There’s nothing wrong with 

helping her.” 

What’s disgusting is how you treat the 

mother who raised you. You’re ungrateful and 

dishonest, twisting everything.” 

You didn’t lose this win, Chloe. You never 

had it.” 

I’ve been a good mother to you. Can you 

honestly say the same to me?” 

Chloe was speechless. The MC smoothly took 

back the microphone and diffused the 

situation with a few jokes

I thanked everyone and left with Ashley

Footsteps behind us. Chloe followed

く 

Dad doesn’t love me,she said. “He was 

only nice to me because he thought he 

couldn’t have any more kids.” 

Now that woman’s pregnant. A boy, they 

say. So he kicked me out.” 

Are you happy now? Well, I’m not going to 

beg you to take me back.” 

I hate dance! I want to be free! I don’t want 

to be with you!” 

I’m an adult now! I can make my own 

decisions!” 

My boyfriend’s good to me! I’ll be happy 

with him! You’ll see!” 

I won’t regret leaving you!” 

I looked at her, my heart numb

Congratulations.” 

Her face contorted for a moment, then she 

glared at me. A whistle and the roar of

motorcycle engine came from across the 

street

A guy with tattoos and the same dyed hair as 

Chloe yelled, Let’s go, babe!” 

Chloe shot me one last look of pure hatred

hopped on the back of the motorcycle, and 

disappeared around the corner

Ashley looked at me anxiously. Mrs. Miller

are you okay?” 

I shook my head. I’m fine. I have a clear 

conscience. Thisthis is for the best.” 

I couldn’t treat Chloe like I had before. Too 

much had happened

No contact. It was the best ending for both of
