Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 190

Vivian's face went pale.

While it's true that Grace was known for her blunt speech, the people present were also well-known figures in the industry.

Some were even hosts invited by Vivian herself. Everyone had their own reputation, but nobody expected to be scolded by Grace like that.

But they couldn't do anything about Grace.

Because she didn't rely on exposure or fame, nor did she rely on connections.

She had no weaknesses. Her current status was all built on her solid dance skills. Even if they wanted to target her, they couldn't. The weight behind the name "Grace" was truly significant.

As the top judge for several major competitions in the country, Grace was at the forefront.

Grace and Vivian both dominate the dance world. Grace built her reputation with a room full of trophies, while Vivian was known for her extensive network of contacts.

Neither of them was easy to offend, but when it came to actual skill, Grace was stronger.

At least she could still dance. Despite her age, Grace hadn't shown any signs of slowing down.

Over the years, as Grace's reputation had grown and her life had improved, Vivian ha less and less time to dance. People only talk about her legendary youth, and it was rare to see her active on stage nowadays.

Hazel and Nydia, two of Grace's proud disciples, were also among the top of their generation.

Trying to find fault with them? It's practically impossible!

So frustrating!

Just as Vivian and her group were about to leave, Lucy walked in from outside.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she saw the standoff between the two groups.

"Ms. Montclair."

Lucy called out softly.

Hearing her voice, Vivian turned her head. "Lucy, you're here."

Lucy glanced at Grace and the others, feeling the tension in the air. Her gaze then shifted to Violeta standing beside Grace.

"Let's go."

Vivian stepped forward first.

Lucy hurried to catch up, and as they were about to leave the left banquet hall.

Suddenly, someone next to Vivian remembered something and whispered, "Who is that young girl standing next to Grace just now? I heard she took on her last disciple recently. Could that young one be her last disciple?"

Previously, their attention had been solely on Grace.

They hadn't noticed anyone else.
