Claire could tell he was offering out of genuine kindness.
“When’s the first taping? Let me see if she can make the trip to Cabinda.”
Claire knew Shirley was going to absolutely lose her mind.
Honestly, Shirley probably didn’t care about the contestants; she just wanted to stare at Oakley in person.
“It’s Saturday, live broadcast. It’s definitely worth checking out.”
Live television was a completely different beast-raw, unpredictable, and impossible to fake.
Every performer had to survive on raw talent alone.
Sure, the pre-recorded episodes could be edited to hell and back.
But the main elimination stages were always broadcast entirely live.
When Claire texted Shirley, the girl went into absolute hysterics.
Sophia instantly demanded to tag along.
Getting to Cabinda was a logistical nightmare for Shirley, but she immediately
booked a flight anyway.
Since the show was next Saturday, Sophia threw a tantrum until she secured a spot.
It was the perfect excuse for a massive reunion.
Claire was fully on board and promised to clear her grueling schedule.
Hearing Yolande bring up the show had finally jogged her memory.
She casually asked Yolande if she wanted a VIP ticket.
Yolande violently recoiled. “Hard pass. Yorick would definitely think I showed up just for him.”
Yolande had picked up on Yorick’s sleazy motives a long time ago.
Worse, she had noticed his eyes practically glued to Claire ever since they met.
Yorick genuinely thought he was charming enough to juggle both women. Unfortunately for him, Yolande was notoriously ruthless, and Claire-who was already engaged wouldn’t give him the time of day.
Yorick was pouring all his seductive energy into a total void.
“Suit yourself,” Claire shrugged, smoothly pivoting the conversation to Quentin Young.
Yolande was totally shocked to learn that Quentin’s biological grandmother was best friends with Pandora.
“So, since Quentin is getting treated abroad, he should be able to make a comeback, right?”
Yolande’s affection for Quentin was completely platonic-just pure loyalty to a stellar dance partner.
It devastated her that his career had flatlined.
She genuinely celebrated the idea of him reclaiming the spotlight.
Claire could read Quentin’s massive. crush on Yolande from a mile away, but
tsmice Yolands was hopelessly oblivious, Claire kept her mouth shut.
“I think so.”
The medical facilities overseas were lightyears ahead, especially the cutting-edge rehabilitation tech.
Even without her miraculous acupuncture, the advanced equipment was game- changing.
More importantly, Queenie had astronomical wealth, and cash could instantly erase ninety-nine percent of life’s problems.
“Thank god.” Yolande beamed.
“But what about our theory?”
Yolande frowned. “I never got the et
chance to warn Quentin and now Yorck is off playing pop star
Yorick was playing in a completely different league now.
Honestly, since Quentin was
destined to inherit a massive empire,
he and Yorick were basic
on different planets:
living
Yolande wasn’t sure if it was even worth dragging up the ugly rumors anymore.
Claire bluntly told her to drop it.
“Don’t bother. I already dropped the bomb right in front of Queenie.”
“Queenie will hire professionals to tear Yorick’s life apart.”
“If Yorick had anything to do with Quentin’s accident, Queenie will annihilate him.”
Queenie might be heavily involved in philanthropy, but that didn’t mean she was a pushover.
