“What do you mean, Sophie? There are so many people here on the dance
floor, so it is normal to bump into others, all right? Do you have to make a
mountain out of a molehill? If you must behave in such a petty manner, I
suggest you go home and complain to your mom about this. Oh, I’m sorry. I
forgot that your mom doesn’t care about you. I suppose she won’t entertain you
even if you talk to her about this.”
Louisa genuinely despised Sophie as she could not fathom what was so great
about the latter.
“You—” Ysabelle had always been a sweet and well-tempered person, but even
she was infuriated at that moment. “You obviously did that on purpose. Do you
know how to dance? Was that even dancing?”
Louisa snorted. “Are you kidding me? Did you say I don’t know how to dance?
Just so you know, I started learning ballet when I was five years old. If I can’t
dance, then are you saying that you can? Or perhaps she can? I believe
everyone here has witnessed their ridiculous moves earlier. It is plain to see that
they can’t even follow the music’s rhythm,” Louisa retorted arrogantly.
Louisa began learning ballet at a young age. Everyone who knew her praised
her extraordinary temperament, an acquired quality that she credited to picking
up ballet when she was little.
“What a joke. How dare you say you started learning ballet at the age of five
when you’re such a terrible dancer? Are you sure you’re not an idiot?” Ysabelle
snapped in response, reluctant to admit defeat. She could not stand Louisa’s
contemptible demeanor.
“Ha! Everyone can talk big even if they have nothing to show. Since you all think
it is my fault for accidentally bumping into you, let’s settle this matter using the
practice here!”
“What kind of practice?” Although Sophie had visited Nocturnal on a few
occasions, that was her first time dancing there.
“Dance battle!”
That was not the first time Louisa and the others had a conflict with another
party in Nocturnal. Nocturnal had an unspoken rule for partygoers who had a
dispute on the dance floor to resolve the issue through a dance battle.
“What’s the matter? Do you dare to accept my challenge? I reckon you all do
not have the guts to do so. Someone like her is only adept at fighting, so there’s
no way she would know the graceful performing art of dancing.” After saying
that, Louisa and her group of girls laughed mockingly.
“How do you plan to carry out the dance battle?”
“Soph?” Ysabelle grabbed Sophie’s arm. I’ve heard of people sorting out an
argument through a dance battle. Louisa acquired the skill in dancing when she
was little, not to mention she frequented this kind of place. On the other hand,
I’ve never seen Sophie dance. At this rate, it is apparent that we have no
chance of winning this dance battle.
“It’s very simple. We’ll battle at the same time. Then, the loser will have to do
anything the winner demands.” Louisa felt secretly delighted when she imagined
how embarrassed Sophie would be later.
Everyone in the Tanner family are jerks. How can that d*mned Willow ignore my
cousin, Mason, after he got hurt? I can’t believe I used to think of her as one of
my best friends.
“Sure!”
I’ll teach you a lesson today, Louisa.
Meanwhile, Tristan strode over to look for Sophie and Ysabelle because the two
did not show up even after a long while. Unexpectedly, he was met with the
scene before him.
“What’s going on?” Tristan asked when he saw Ysabelle’s swollen arm.
“It’s nothing.” Ysabelle lacked the courage to confess the trouble she stirred.
After all, she was the reason that altercation occurred.
“So? Do you dare? Hurry up and leave if you’re just a coward. Stop wasting my
time here,” Louisa uttered rudely.
“You—” Taking in Louisa’s haughtiness, Ysabelle had the urge to step forward
and brawl with her. “Soph, forget it. I’m fine.”
Ysabelle did not want Louisa to get the chance to mortify Sophie.
“Ha! I know you two are cowards. Fine. I shall not make things difficult for you.
