Chapter 298 - No One On Her Side (2/2)

This particular medicine was a liquid laxative!

Why was there an empty bottle in Mimi's bin. She couldn't have taken it before a concert herself. That would be self-detrimental.

The answer was pretty obvious.

Mimi must have used it on Avaleigh; it explained why her stomach was unwell.

At that moment, Avaleigh finished her performance and returned to the change room with Sue, Mimi, Ara, and Chu. The other girls were on stage performing. ”Did you sneakily eat something during your break? Why is your stomach suddenly unwell? Haven't I always warned you about watching what you eat before a performance? This is exactly why I'm so strict with your diet!” Sue said angrily.

Avaleigh was resting on Chu and Ara's shoulders as she shook her head, ”I only ate what you gave me. I have no idea why my stomach is suddenly so sore.”

”Liar!” Mimi yelled. ”We all ate the same thing. Why aren't we ill?”

Sue looked at Avaleigh and waited for an answer. She wanted to believe her, but Mimi made a valid point. If everyone ate the same thing, why was she the only one that was unwell?

Avaleigh didn't know what to say. She was telling the truth but she couldn't explain why she was the only one that was feeling ill either.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be going her way, Mimi tried to hold back a smile, ”You're the leader, you should know better...”

Sue looked at Avaleigh with disappointment. ”I think I'll have to reconsider your position as leader after this. I can't believe how irresponsible you were.”

Avaleigh looked at Sue with slightly teary eyes. She was wronged and feeling unwell, yet no one was on her side.

At that moment, Emerson cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention to his presence. The girls quickly looked his way and saw him standing in front of Mimi's dressing table. They had been so focused on Avaleigh, they didn't even notice him there.

Mimi's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the man standing at her table. Was Emerson waiting for her?

Avaleigh's eyes also lit up. Didn't this man leave? Why was he here?

The next second, the man suddenly lifted a bottle in his hand and asked, ”Miss Mimi, may I ask why you have a bottle of laxatives in your bin?”
