From Divorce To Dominance

Emily didn't believe Natalie could do fortune-telling, but she could tell Natalie was trying to comfort her.

She crossed her arms and laughed, "Thanks for your good wishes. If I become popular, I'll do a live broadcast to thank you." Natalie imagined it and asked, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Not at all. You'll u'll be my honored one, and you deserve it," Emily insisted, pulling Susan and Dylan in as witnesses. "I, Emily, will keep my word. You two supervise." Natalie couldn't resist and agreed, "I'll wait for your big gift."

"No problem." Emily waved her hand casually.

In a

Sure,

a better mood, she continued, "Natalie, I can't wait to be a top artist. How about you take another look and tell me when I'll make it?" draw three tarot cards," Natalie said seriously.

Seeing Natalie get into character made Emily even more excited

She blinked and gave her a thumbs up, "Natalie, gotta say, you look like a real fortune-teller right now."

Natalie rolled her eyes slightly and corrected her, "Call me master."

"Okay," Emily quickly put her hands together and apologized, "No offense, please forgive me, Master. Please give me a divination." hummed lightly, "Draw three tarot cards quickly."

Natalie

Emily immediately complied.

Natalie flipped through the tarot cards, and then, in the middle of a few people's gazes, she stretched out her left hand and gestured stylishly.

Her hands were pretty, with evenly proportioned fingers and pink nails, and even her gestures were pleasing.

Though they knew she was joking, no one called her out.

Her counting grew faster, and she chanted like on TV.

Emily couldn't help but sigh to Susan, "I think Natalie could be a great actress. Look at her now. Her poses are even more convincing than some celebrities." Susan agreed, "It's a pity she's not in acting."

As they whispered, Natalie suddenly stopped.

Emily smiled and asked, "Master, did you figure it out?"

"After the Sweet Love, you're about to become famous," Natalie said with a grin. "Are you excited?"

"So soon?" Emily nodded eagerly, convinced Natalie was trying to make her happy. "I'm excited. I'm about to become famous."

Susan laughed, reminding her, "Before you get famous, prepare for the next performance. Your time is up."

Emily checked and realized it was time. "I'll go get ready. By the way, what are you two planning to perform?"

Susan had already decided, "I'll be performing a song with my partner."

That w

was her strong suit. With her partner being a songwriter, Susan was confident they could create a mature, classic, and catchy pop song. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel very excited.

Emily turned to Natalie, "What about you guys, Natalie? Do you have any ideas?"

Leon smiled gently, saying, "I'll follow her lead."

Emily

t like she

she witnessed something adorable and let out playful squeals.

Natalie's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Really? I want to sing.

Susan had expected she would say that and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Natalie's determination to sing was truly admirable.

Emily couldn't help but burst into laughter, "No, you don't want to."

Natalie shot her a fierce glare, pushing her into the room, "Get in there!"

Emily went into the room but poked her head out again, "Nat, promise me you won't sing anymore, okay?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Natalie raised an eyebrow, pointed at her, and then made a slicing motion across her neck.

Emily shut up and darted into the room.

Susan's room was right next to Emily's. Before leaving, she told Natalie, "Your fans have started a public service activity. You can check it out online."

After entering the program team's room with Leon, Natalie searched for the charity event Susan mentioned.

Two minutes later, she laughed in anger. The event was titled "Purify your ears, purify your mind" and aimed at raising funds for deaf children.

Everything seemed normal until she read the organizer's declaration. "Every time Natalie sings, an innocent ear is polluted. Join us to save every ear that has never heard her sing. No singing, no harm. It's everyone's responsibility to reject Natalie's singing." Natalie was confused. She thought, 'Are these my fans? They're antis.' She gritted her teeth and retweeted the public service with a furious comment: [Bad people. My fans are terrible. But the charity is good, so fine, I won't sing. One day, you'll beg me to perform.] As soon as she posted, 'countless notifications started popping up

[No, we will never beg you to sing.]

(Good girl, don't sing anymore.]

[As long as you don't sing, wouldn't every performance be a great one?]

The more Natalie read, the more frustrated she became, so she put her phone away. She sang beautifully. Netizens were so biased.

Leon poured her a cup of water and smiled, "You seem much better than when I first met you."

Natalie shrugged, "I hath just gotten divorced then, so I was in a bad state."

"Have you

moved on?" Leon asked, his melancholy gaze reflecting her figure.

In a subtle way, he asked, "Still can't forget your ex-husband?"

Natalie honestly shook her head, "He's in the past now."

After three years of cold violence, she knew she had to move forward. Staying broken would just be mistreating herself.

Mason and Lynn had raised her like a princess, teaching her self-respect and self-love, ensuring she didn't lose herself for a man. Her worth was far greater than that. Leon's eyes lit up subtly, but he was reserved, so his emotions remained subdued. "Congratulations, you can now embrace a new life and relationship." Natalie felt grateful to him. "Thank you."

No

need to be so polite," Leon replied. "Shall we discuss the performance? Are you sure you want to sing?"

Natalie sighed with both affection and exasperation, "Everyone has been begging me not to sing. I can't ignore them. I'm spoiling my fans."

Leon softened his voice, "Do you have any ideas for the performance?"

Natalie needed a moment to think, then suggested performing an instrumental piece together.

They would collaborate on piano and saxophone, with her as the composer. Leon had no objections.

After finalizing the program, they spent the next day thinking about the tune.

During the afternoon Sweet Love live broadcast, viewers were excited to see them together on screen.
