Chapter: 569
Norah's resolve softened. She wanted to accept Joanna's offer immediately, but she felt responsible for Alice's safety. She knew she had to prioritize Alice, and bringing Joanna along might complicate things and put them in danger.
Joanna suggested, “Should I bring my brother along too? Would that be alright?"
After thinking it over, Norah agreed, “Okay.”
"Great!" Joanna happily called Bryson, asking him to come and pick her up.
Initially hesitant about Joanna going to the Glamour Club during her recovery, Bryson agreed once he knew Norah would tag along. His objection wouldn't have mattered since Norah had already agreed.
At the backstage of the Glamour Club, the members of Rosy Secret and Dream were taking a break.
Emerson approached Zeke and glanced down at Zeke. “Who are you? Where do you come from?"
The Dream unexpectedly became popular, having performed numerous times at the Glamour Club already.
It was widely recognized that Rosy Secret's frequent performances at the Glamour Club were due to its popularity.
Emerson grappled to pinpoint the cause of the Dream's success. As the band leader, Zeke didn't seem talented, and the rest of the band members weren't anything better. Emerson felt the Dream wasn't good at playing instruments or singing.
Even without Kris in Rosy Secret, Emerson was confident that its dominance remained unquestionable. Rosy Secret was clearly better than the Dream! Why should the Dream get the same treatment as Rosy Secret? Emerson had been thinking about this question for a while.
The Dream's rising popularity was making Emerson uneasy. He was proud of Rosy Secret being known as the best band in the country. How could he tolerate a new band rising in prominence? He had secretly sabotaged others talented bands before.
Zeke was tuning his guitar with a disinterested expression. “We're just regular people, nothing special."
However, it was true that their success could be attributed to the guidance of an influential figure.
“You know the esteemed reputation Rosy Secret holds in our country.
It would be wise for you to choose to leave the Glamour Club willingly. If you do, we won't hold anything against you for what's happened during your performances here," Emerson threatened.
Coyle followed Emerson in, his head held high. "No matter who you are or where you're from, our band leader doesn't want to see the Dream back at the Glamour Club tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Phoebe sneered, "Do you think you own the Glamour Club? Do you really believe you can do whatever you want here? We've got permission from the club's owner to perform here. We don't need your permission."
Coyle pointed his finger at Phoebe's face and scolded, "Shut up! You foolish woman! This is a discussion amid men! Do you want trouble?"
The members of the Dream frowned at Coyle's words.
Phoebe's face turned serious and tense. "Are you some kind of thug?
You're threatening me? Did your mom not teach you manners?"
Throughout her time in the band, Phoebe had encountered various types of people. But she was still surprised by the level of arrogance shown by Rosy Secret's members.
For a while, the two bands had kept out of each other's way, keeping up a front of harmony. But it seemed like that harmony was just on the surface.
