Seeing herself on TV now, she realized she looked so sweet when smiling. As the music started, the camera switched back to the stage. Phoebe watched “To Victory” once again and was still amazed by Noah Myers’s final move.

“Oh my god, he’s so cool! Who is this little boy?”

“Noah Myers, his name is Noah Myers. I became a fan because of his final move.”

Phoebe heard a few girls beside her discussing excitedly, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She felt a sense of accomplishment. Seeing Phoebe smile so sweetly, Theodore pursed his thin lips and said, “His dancing is just average. The person next to him dances better.” Phoebe widened her eyes, “Just average?” Did something happen to his eyes?

Theodore looked into her eyes and coldly nodded, “If someone else stood in his place today, their performance wouldn’t be worse than his.”

Phoebe was irritated by his comment and felt a pain in her chest. She argued, “Even if it’s luck, it’s still a form of talent. No matter what you say, he’s popular, and I didn’t see it wrong.”

Luckily, the waiter interrupted their conversation as they brought the dishes. Once the waiter left, Phoebe looked at the steaming hot pot and couldn’t help but remain angry.

“You weren’t there in person. It was even more impressive when seen live. His stage presence was unforgettable.”

“Not bad,” Phoebe couldn’t help but say. She was defending Noah Myers because she believed he wasn’t just lucky, but that he had the ability to be chosen as the center by the mentor. Theodore attributed it to luck, clearly denying his talent. By denying Noah Myers’s excellence, he was denying her judgment, which made her feel uneasy.

Theodore pursed his thin lips, looking at her almost on the verge of tears. He didn’t say anything further, but he felt subtly displeased.

After finishing the roasted chicken, the two returned to the hotel villa. Phoebe opened the two large temporary boxes she bought and placed the purchased souvenirs from the afternoon into the suitcases.

In fact, she didn’t buy much for herself, only a set of skincare products. The rest were gifts for Mrs. Reynolds and the others. As she was tidying up, the door suddenly made a “drip” sound, and it opened. Vanessa and Ruby walked in one after the other, both dragging their suitcases, seemingly planning to stay here for the night.

Phoebe frowned slightly, sitting cross-legged on the floor and continuing her organizing.

Vanessa walked in and saw that Phoebe’s suitcase was filled with unopened skincare products, as well as a paper bag thrown to the side with the words “duty-free shop” on it. “You went shopping at the duty-free shop?”

Phoebe looked up with a smile, trying not to make her angry, and said, “To be precise, we went shopping at the duty-free shop. Mr. Reynolds from my family helped me carry these things back.”

“Hmph!” Ruby scoffed, “Occupying someone else’s boyfriend, I don’t know what you’re so proud of.”

Vanessa pulled Ruby’s arm gently and said in a gentle voice, “Ruby, don’t say that. Theodore wouldn’t be happy if he heard.”

Ruby muttered, “I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Vanessa smiled, “She doesn’t have self-awareness, so we can’t compare ourselves to someone like her. Okay, calm down for now and help me move the suitcases to the upstairs guest room.”
